Free Web NovelChapter 1176: Chapter 1178
Dai Liren saw Zhao Xu in the living room holding Gong Ruini, and was surprised.
Then he remembered who he was, "Hello, you are Zhao Xuran."
Dai Liren was about to introduce himself, "You are Dai Liren?"
Before on the road, Zhao Xuran seemed to not care about Dai Liren at all, but did he really not care?
It was just a tactic, it couldn’t be true indifference. After looking this over, he finally understood why Zhao Guangran was so nervous—the guy really looks quite nice.
Tall and big, with a scholarly air; he definitely meets the criteria of what some young girls are looking for these days.
But is his wife easily swayed by sweet talk? There are quite a few of this type in Jing University, and she didn’t fancy them, so why would she fancy Dai Liren.
As for the concerns his brother had about the Dai Family’s influence, Zhao Xuran really didn’t think it was a problem. Rather, it was a stumbling block on his path to pursue Ni Zi.
Some people want to marry into wealthy families, but for Ni Zi, that would be a huge constraint, she would suffocate.
Dai Liren wasn’t at all surprised that Zhao Xuran knew him, "Hello, how was your journey?"
His words came off as strange, as though he was speaking with the attitude of a host.
Zhao Xuran pushed aside these unpleasant thoughts from his mind, "Fine, thank you for your trouble these days."
Having a negative opinion of him, Dai Liren wasn’t surprised at Zhao Xuran’s displeasure; perhaps at first, he didn’t understand much, but after Zhao Guangran talked to him extensively, if he still didn’t get it, he’d truly be a fool.
As for how Zhao Xuran knew these things, it must have been Zhao Guangran, the big mouth, who told him.
"It’s no trouble, after all, I also gain benefits."
"I know you have a lot of thoughts about me, I don’t want to say I have no ideas, that would be too fake."
If it were Zhao Guangran and Gong Ruini, he would hide a bit, but in front of Zhao Xuran, doing so would only make Zhao Xuran have even more thoughts about him.
Since they were going to work well together, it was best to lay all cards on the table.
"I won’t enter the system in the future, I want to make money." Dai Liren bluntly stated his future plans.
Not entering the system? Gong Ruini was shocked by Dai Liren’s words. Though he isn’t as formidable as his brother, he’s not bad; why would he give it up?
Is it internal family conflict or his own decision, Gong Ruini became suspicious.
After all, if they were going to collaborate well in the future, some things need to be clarified.
What if Dai Liren intended to enter the system and suddenly abandoned the family causing discontent within him?
Would a person feeling unbalanced work well with them?
"I’m doing it willingly." Dai Liren paused, "Maybe I used to wonder why I would give up, but after hearing about your story, Zhao Xuran, I suddenly felt I should learn from you."
This situation? Gong Ruini looked at Dai Liren’s expression of admiration, stunned. This situation? How come he looks like he’s very much in awe?
Knowing Dai Liren for so long, no matter the situation, he always appeared as if he had everything under control, why was he acting like this now.
It must be an act, definitely to fool his big brother, after Zhao Guangran developed a view towards Dai Liren, he always felt there was something wrong with him.
"I don’t want my future marriage to be for the sake of the family." Dai Liren didn’t tell Zhao Guangran this, in his view, Zhao Guangran was still a bit immature.
Not marrying for the family? Does this mean he has someone he wants to spend his life with? But it shouldn’t be someone the Dai Family favors.
Zhao Xuran didn’t understand why Dai Liren demanded this, from what he knew, the Dai Family wasn’t that domineering to strictly require that the marriage partner be beneficial to the family.
Given this, Dai Liren mentioning it must mean he knows the family wouldn’t be pleased with his choice.
Then he must have someone in mind, Gong Ruini looked at Dai Liren curiously, wanting to know who his choice was.
"Who is it?" Having someone in mind is good, having someone puts people at ease, Zhao Guangran internally felt like shouting Hallelujah.
This boy hid too deep, had he known he had a girlfriend earlier, how could he have worried so much before.
Zhao Guangran was upset, looking at Dai Liren with eyes that felt as sharp as knives.
Dai Liren tried hard not to care about the murderous glances constantly coming from this guy around him, but they were so intense that he couldn’t avoid them.
"It’s mainly that my choice wouldn’t be approved by my family, and then I hope I can carve out my own future."
"And help my big brother a bit." Dai Liren wasn’t naive. No matter how well he fares outside, the Dai Family remained his foundation.
With the Dai Family doing well, he could continue to do well in all aspects.
Still didn’t say who, making the ever-curious Gong Ruini quite disappointed, but since the person wouldn’t reveal willingly, they couldn’t threaten him.
"Are you representing the Dai Family or yourself?" Zhao Xuran really didn’t care who Dai Liren’s choice was.
Is there need to pay attention to a partner’s choice? If that needs attention, he wouldn’t be busy making money, but considering these matters all day.
"I want to collaborate with you guys because I feel you suit my tastes, you wouldn’t look up to me just because I’m from the Dai Family."
What’s this reason? Zhao Guangran didn’t understand why Dai Liren would say this, "Even if you approached us with the Dai Family’s stance for cooperation, we wouldn’t ignore you."
"It’s because I know you wouldn’t cooperate with someone just because of their good family background." Dai Liren was truly grateful; when he brought up the Dai Family initially, Gong Ruini didn’t immediately reject him.
"That’s because you were low-key, not flaunting, of course if it were me, I wouldn’t really want to collaborate with you." Zhao Guangran was still somewhat displeased, because this guy really wasn’t any ordinary over-the-top person.
Sneaky thoughts weren’t few, Zhao Guangran didn’t know how many times he’d been tricked by them, "Oh, you wouldn’t betray me, right."
Gong Ruini covered her face, why is this guy only now asking such a question?
Really not just any ordinary fool, Gong Ruini really couldn’t face this guy straightforwardly.
Zhao Xuran was speechless, he turned his head elsewhere, if he kept staring at Zhao Guangran, he really worried he’d want to chop this boy.
Zhao Xuran finally understood why Zhao Guangran could be tricked, it was because sometimes his mind was too simple.
Dai Liren was also dumbfounded by Zhao Guangran’s naively cute manner, "Whether I would betray you, I cannot promise now."
Anything can change, especially human nature, Dai Liren didn’t know how their positions would change over the years, decades, decades.
"At least for these years we are united." As long as the Dai Family remains, or before reaching the most dangerous moment, they would certainly not take action against Zhao Guangran and his team.
"Long-term cooperation with you is beneficial for the Dai Family." Playing the emotional card really seemed hypocritical these days.
Better to use the interest card, both Zhao Brothers would agree on this, and even Gong Ruini would think this approach was right.
Using interests to sway people, Zhao Xuran was immensely convinced that there’s no problem with it, "Then may our future cooperation be pleasant."
"Pleasure in cooperation."
