"Not so!" Gao Xiaofu waved a hand with an air of deep wisdom. "Brother Liang, think about it. What do people in high society care about most? Nothing but reputation! And once Gu Mengyao has really become your woman, would she dare to report you? Even if she wanted to, Gu Pengzhan might not agree. This concerns his daughter's reputation for the rest of her life! If word of this got out, how would Gu Mengyao ever marry?"
"That's true, but how can I be sure Gu Pengzhan won't come after me from the shadows?" Zhong Yongliang hesitated, still a little worried.
"That's easy enough! First, once Gu Mengyao is your woman, I refuse to believe she won't care about any of this. As long as she cares, you can ride the momentum and break down her emotional defenses!" Gao Xiaofu argued with conviction. "And second, Brother Liang, you must build momentum. Go to Gu Pengzhan's company and build momentum — say that Gu Mengyao is already your woman and that you're his son-in-law. Let everyone know about it. Make it an established fact. That way, even if Gu Pengzhan wants to come after you, he can't, because everyone will know. The only way he avoids being laughed at is to acknowledge you as his son-in-law!"
"Hey? Xiaofu, you really do have a knack for this, don't you?" Hearing Gao Xiaofu's analysis, Zhong Yongliang felt it really did make sense. If handled properly, it would truly be a good plan!
"Of course, Brother Liang. And if you're really afraid something might go wrong, you can also do it this way!" Gao Xiaofu grew more and more excited as he spoke. "First lock Gu Mengyao up, then go to Gu Pengzhan and build momentum — say Gu Mengyao is already your woman, and see how he reacts! If he acknowledges you as his son-in-law, then you go back and finish what you started. If he refuses and wants to come after you, then let Gu Mengyao go and tell him it was all a joke. That way the risk is much smaller!"
"Xiaofu, I never realized it before — you're simply too clever!" Zhong Yongliang had been worried, but once he heard Gao Xiaofu's method of operation, he relaxed at once. This way, there was no risk at all to speak of.
"Heh heh, isn't this thanks to your fine training, Brother Liang?" Gao Xiaofu laughed smugly.
"Ah, the thing down there got kicked by Feng Xiaoxiao — swollen up tight. Looks like it'll be out of commission for a while, so forcing myself on her is out of the question too!" Zhong Yongliang said with some regret.
Feng Xiaoxiao clutched the bracelet tightly in her hand; she would have to reassess Wei Zhao's strength.
Before this, Feng Xiaoxiao had underestimated Wei Zhao far too much, and so she had suffered setback after setback. And it seemed that making Wei Zhao fall in love with her was no easy task either. Today Wei Zhao had stepped in to save her, but Feng Xiaoxiao could tell that he had not done it out of any fondness for her, but out of a kind of pity! So Feng Xiaoxiao felt her plan needed some slight adjustment — if she kept chasing Wei Zhao like this, he would probably never like her in his whole life. It seemed that without resorting to some tricks, it simply would not work...
Glancing at Wei Zhao beside her, Feng Xiaoxiao hesitated again. He had saved her; if she now went looking to make trouble for him, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity? And most important of all, he had even helped her find her mother's bracelet...
