Chapter 205 The First Contest
"Brother Bu, my mission is accomplished."
Jo came over and joked with Bu Yufan, "Now I'm handing my sister-in-law back to you neatly!"
"Sister-in-law?" Bu Yufan was happy when he heard this title.
"What are you laughing at? Jo calls you big brother and me sister-in-law, isn't that right?" Wen Lan hit his shoulder.
"I'll go back first! In this kind of situation..." Jo shook his head and shrugged, feeling uncomfortable all over. He wanted to leave quickly.
"Jo, your brother asked me to bring you some spicy strips." Bu Yufan suddenly remembered this.
Wen Lan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
"You said, Tiger? Buy spicy noodles? Ask you to bring them to Jo? Hahahaha!"
Wen Lan imagined the big guy Tiger buying spicy strips. It was such a cute contrast that she couldn't stop laughing.
Jo was also quite embarrassed. It was not a big deal for a grown man to just enjoy a bag of spicy noodles. His brother actually asked Bu Yufan to bring it to him from China.
Bu Yufan hugged Jo like an older brother, "You two brothers are cuter than each other. I put the spicy noodles in the car, let's go!"
Ten minutes later, when Bu Yufan came back, Wen Lan was surrounded by a group of handsome guys.
He wanted to squeeze in but couldn't, which made him feel even more jealous.
"President Bu?" Xie Peng came over again. "Ms. Wen seems to be very familiar with these male models."
"Mr. Xie is also very familiar with it. Aren't you the one who has the ability to invite these super popular handsome guys to Kegley?"
When taking the spicy strips, Jo told Bu Yufan the whole story, and he naturally understood it clearly.
"My wife and Star are just fans chasing stars, and they just get along well with each other."
"you do not mind?"
"What do you mind?"
With each question and answer, Bu Yufan's thoughts raced forward and were impenetrable.
"Whether it's the Yas Resort or Wenlan, they will change their style. I like this..." Xie Peng made a gesture.
"I just said that as long as my wife likes, she can do whatever she wants, no matter who or what." Bu Yufan interrupted him.
"Hello Mr. Xie?" Star saw Xie Peng and greeted him. "Yesterday, Ms. Xie invited us to attend Kegley's party, but she didn't pay the deposit or the balance."
Xie Peng frowned.
"Mr. Xie, why didn't I see your sister tonight?" Wen Lan was standing by, helping Star cheer.
"Ms. Xie said yesterday that the Kegley Hotel would like to invite us to perform here, so we came here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Xie." Star said bluntly.
Following Wen Lan's suggestion, he made public the matter of Kegley snatching the IELTS marketing plan.
"Oh? Mr. Xie also wants to hold a show at Kegley?" Wen Lan took the opportunity to catch Xie Peng off guard. "That's interesting. Mr. Xie's plan actually collides with mine? Is this a case of great minds thinking alike, or a coincidence?"
Xie Peng's face was a little tense for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
"Wen Lan, with your intelligence and your friendship with Star, you must know that Kegley invited them tonight." Xie Peng stared at Wen Lan thoughtfully. There was no provocation or competition in his expression. Instead, it seemed as if he was bickering with her.
"Mr. Xie, we have only met once, but you seem to know me so well?" At this time, she didn't have to give a direct answer.
Both sides are avoiding the issue, which is a tactic.
"Star, why don't you negotiate a good price with Boss Xie? Kegli and Yasi are competing for you!" Bu Yufan, the bad guy, stood nearby and with a few sarcastic remarks, he took control of the direction of the situation again.
"Mr. Xie? Are you robbing me?" Star pretended to be stupid.
Xie Peng adjusted the frame of his glasses, turned his gaze to Bu Yufan, and gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Star, I'll get someone here right now and give you the cash." Xie Peng didn't ask the price and explained, "Yesterday, I told Xie Ning to bring our Kegley anniversary gold bars to invite you. She will come to apologize tomorrow. We were negligent."
When Star heard this, she quickly blinked at Wen Lan.
"Mr. Xie, that's such a big deal. I hope you can show mercy to me." Wen Lan softened his tone.
Xie Peng looked at Wen Lan with approval. He was truly impressed by this woman's methods.
"I'll excuse myself for a moment." He nodded to everyone and left temporarily.
Bu Yufan finally found this opportunity and moved closer to Wen Lan.
"Pretty girl, you are so happy today. These men are all your favorites."
He leaned close to her ear, teased her, and twisted his waist in a way that only she could sense.
Wen Lan smiled sweetly and held Bu Yufan's chin with her fingers. "You are so charming when you are jealous."
"Hi, Star, you seem quite different in person than on stage." Bu Yufan took the initiative to greet Xingchen, and the men soon started chatting over whiskeys.
He didn't have any arrogance, nor any grudges or disguises. Because he believed in Wen Lan, she had judgment and sense, and she could fit into their circle, so he unconditionally trusted and supported Wen Lan's judgment.
When Bu Yufan learned about Star's experience and difficulties, he did not express it to his face, but secretly took note of it.
After the concert ended and everyone left, Bu Yufan and Wen Lan sat in the back row on the way back to IELTS.
"Jo, are you home? Have you eaten spicy noodles?" He called Jo first.
"How did you know I was eating it? Spicy noodles with beer, perfect!"
"Star's mother's condition, please help keep an eye on it from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, go directly to Yasi to get the money. I will give the order."
Bu Yufan put down the phone and Wen Lan put her arm around him.
"What's wrong? Why are you so concerned about Xingchen?" Wen Lan asked him after getting off the car and walking to the lake view villa.
"He made his debut for the sake of his mother and his family's life. His finances had just improved and he had paid off his debts when his mother was diagnosed with cancer." Bu Yufan gently kissed Wen Lan's forehead, stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.
"Let me tell you, she is a sister. Do you understand what I mean by sister?" Wen Lan told him this little secret of Xingchen.
"He is not."
"You know this as well?"
"He said that on purpose in order to avoid trouble and not to offend those women." Bu Yufan and Xingchen were close friends.
"Bu Yufan, why do you and Xingchen get along so well? Haven't you always been jealous of me going to the show? Wen Lan deliberately brought him to the point.
"He is so filial, which shows how much his mother loves him and how deep the relationship between mother and son is." He was not on guard and spoke his mind.
"Hubby, there's actually one thing I've never dared to ask you..." Wen Lan stammered.
"Are you asking if I will never forgive my mother?" Bu Yufan helped her say this.
"Never!" he asked himself resolutely.
