Song Yansheng originally planned to have the secretary come in as an excuse to leave for a few minutes, though he wasn’t too keen on leaving Yu Dou and Shi Nuan alone together.
But for the sake of helping the little girl, he had no other choice.
Even if the little girl doesn’t know how to use Yu Dou to her advantage, how clever is Yu Dou?
He had just asked Secretary Yao to release the news that SR would compete for the Lishui Project, and Yu Dou quickly came to visit in person.
He originally wanted to test Yu Dou’s ambition and then go along with the flow!
But unexpectedly, he made a surprising discovery!
Yu Dou, this person, is quite interesting!
Nevertheless, this does not affect his intention to help Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan wants to enter the Shi Family, and she has to pass this hurdle with Yu Dou.
Now, when Yu Dou sees him, he always brings Shi Nuan along, which should give him some pause.
In the future, even if Shi Nuan doesn’t use him, he will likely use Shi Nuan.
But no matter who uses whom, once Shi Nuan joins the Shi Family, Yu Dou wouldn’t dare to take her lightly.
As for whether his little girl can seize the opportunity to gain the upper hand, it depends on her own skills.
It was just unexpected that the person to call him out became Chi Rui instead.
And judging by Chi Rui’s expression, it seems he really has something important to say to him.
Song Yansheng looked at Shi Nuan and said, "I’ll be out for a moment, Nuannuan, you chat with your Uncle Yu; I’ll be right back!"
After speaking, he then said to Yu Dou, "Mr. Yu, I must excuse myself first!"
Yu Dou’s expression remained indifferent, with a slight smile at the corner of his lips, gently nodded, and said, "Mr. Song, please go ahead!"
Song Yansheng responded with an "Mm," looked once more at Nuannuan, gave a gentle smile, and turned to leave.
Inside the room, soon only Shi Nuan and Yu Dou remained.
The first to speak was Yu Dou, who slowly paced over and sat down opposite Shi Nuan.
His deep eyes met hers: "It’s truly unexpected, in less than two months, you’ve tied down the big tree that is Song Yansheng... Nuannuan, you and your mother really are different!"
Shi Nuan’s expression subtly shifted: "You... knew my mother?"
In Shi Nuan’s memory, the first time she met Yu Dou was three months after her mother’s death, at the cemetery.
In other words, Yu Dou only appeared before her after her mother had passed away.
Moreover, Yu Dou’s identity is Li Guirong’s cousin; even if he had met her mother before, without direct contact, how would he know what kind of woman her mother was?
Yu Dou lightly smiled, with a deep glint in his eyes: "The eldest daughter of Xu Group, a renowned socialite and beauty in T City, pursued by countless noble young men, yet she ignored them all and resolutely married a poor boy. This love story was widely known back then, and though I was young, I had heard of it!"
Shi Nuan looked at Yu Dou inquisitively, unable to determine the truthfulness of his words, but when considering the possibility of Yu Dou knowing her mother, it was extremely low, so she stopped overthinking it.
She said, "My mother was too naive back then, thinking she married for love, without realizing that love is elusive. I’m not as smart as my mother, but I understand these truths, which naturally makes me different from her!"
Yu Dou nodded: "Your mother indeed met the wrong person..."
He paused, looked at Shi Nuan, and said, "But Nuannuan, how can you be sure you’re luckier than your mother? Marrying Song Yansheng, isn’t that also an impulsive decision?"
Shi Nuan, however, remained calm, with a faint smile, and said, "Yes, I acted on impulse, but I successfully made Song Yansheng care, didn’t I?"
