NovelEnglishChapter 1257: The Answer
Ah Zhu was well aware that every argument had two sides to it. “Gu Changshu is biased toward his wife, even though she is excellent. Take the foreman as an example, who Gu Changshu threatened to gouge out his eyes. Gu Changshu will never leave his wife, Gu Junhui, without a fight.”
Brother Ding nodded in agreement, as though Ah Zhu’s words had finally made sense.
“In other words, Brother Ding, think about it. Does Gu Junhui owe Gu Changshu anything? After nine years of companionship, Gu Junhui followed him without hesitation and left her hometown for him. She trusted him wholeheartedly and relied on him. Gu Junhui loves Gu Changshu, but she can’t find any fault with him. If that’s the case, Gu Changshu must be heartless to abandon Gu Junhui. Brother Ding, do you think you’d want a heartless man to curry favor with you?” Ah Zhu asked the man a rhetorical question.
Brother Ding thought about it for a while. Wen Yunfang had made sense, but Ah Zhu had also made sense. He hesitated for a moment.
If Gu Changshu abandoned his wife, he must be a heartless person. However, if Gu Changshu married Wen Yunfang, Brother Ding would have Wen Yunfang’s help to keep an eye on him. He could put the man to good use. Furthermore, the man was isolated and helpless in Shu City. Therefore, he was not afraid that Gu Changshu would cause any significant trouble for the time being.
“Brother Ding, let’s make a hypothesis. If Gu Changshu refuses to marry Young Miss and Gu Junhui gets angry, Gu Changshu will leave the city with Gu Junhui. Then, you will have one less person to use. I recommended Gu Changshu to you, Brother Ding, and I think he is a good person. He might be able to help you in the future.”
“Young Miss is good-looking and intelligent. There are many men in the world who are more handsome than Gu Zhangshu. Gu Zhangshu can be your subordinate, but he is not worthy of being your son-in-law. You have pampered Young Miss since she was young, so you can’t simply choose a man for her. There are many young masters in Shu City who are more suitable for Young Miss.”
Ah Zhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Brother Ding looked to have been swayed once more by him. He had the following thoughts in his head, ‘You didn’t address me as Brother Ah Zhu for nothing, Sister. I have gone out of my way to make sure you are both okay.”

Brother Ding did not say anything to Ah Zhu and waved his hand to tell him to leave.
Ah Zhu lived in Brother Ding’s house, but it was a vast compound, so he lived on the other side of the house.
After Ah Zhu left, Brother Ding thought for a long time in the study room by himself. Then he summoned Wen Yunfang to his study room and said, “I know you’re waiting for my answer, so I won’t tease you any longer. I’ll tell you directly that I won’t meddle in the matter between you and Gu Changshu. If you can make Gu Changshu come to me and say that he wants to marry you, then I’ll agree to our marriage.”
Wen Yunfang’s expression froze, but she also knew that there was no changing Brother Ding’s decision. When she thought of how Brother Ding had stayed in the study room with Ah Zhu for so long, she held a grudge against the other man. It must have been something Ah Zhu said that Brother Ding would give her such an answer.
