Despite the interference from Guan Qingmo, Tan Yan managed to gain Guan Yao's trust in just three days. He understood well that this young man from a foreign land was not to be underestimated.
Under the cover of night, Guan Yao secretly moved Tan Yan from the basement. The next day, with Guan Miao providing cover, Tan Yan infiltrated the Guan Family as a private tutor. Within the tumultuous environment of the Guan Family, power struggles and covert conflicts were a daily occurrence.
Guan Miao and her twin brother, Guan Qingmo, were cherished children born during their parents' middle age, having been raised with every privilege imaginable. From a young age, Guan Miao was well-mannered and stood out as a refreshing presence in the family, winning the favor of their grandfather, Guan Li, in contrast to her domineering brother. As a result, whenever she acted coy and lowered her tone, both her grandfather and father would indulge her wishes. It was only natural that she would want to repay their kindness by taking in a talented tutor.
After undergoing rigorous checks to confirm his identity and background were without issues, Tan Yan was assigned to a guest room on the second floor, where the butler, driver, and doctor also resided. He behaved obediently and followed the rules. Everyone in the household was cautious and accustomed to dealing with dark and formidable characters. At least for now, no one believed that a polite blind man could stir up any trouble.
The Guan Family had eyes everywhere, with Guan Su Lin keeping tabs even from thousands of miles away across the ocean. He received news almost immediately about an outsider being brought into the main house. It seemed there was no time to waste.
Holding his phone tightly, Guan Su Lin's gaze fixed on the photo before him. The calm and elegant man stood obediently in the hall, shadows cast by the crystal chandelier dancing across his face. It was Tan Yan.
Time seemed to freeze as a moment of confusion washed over Guan Su Lin. He recalled vividly how on Luo Xuezhi's wedding day, Xiao Wei had clashed violently with this man outside the restroom—blood had been shed over a woman.
At that time, he was still curious. Young as he was, how could he have such a bad habit of relying on others? Looking back now, it was indeed a disaster waiting to happen.
As the fog in his eyes cleared, Guan Su Lin scoffed and dialed the disaster's number. Hearing Zheng Mengni's delicate voice, he smiled broadly and asked, "Zheng Zheng, are you interested in a big business opportunity?"
Zheng Mengni couldn't quite remember when he started calling her that. Guan Su Lin simply said he liked to be different, to do things in a special way, so his way of addressing her had to be unique as well. He began with "Miss Zheng," but later casually called her "Little Zheng," which felt a bit like how a leader would address a subordinate. Gradually, it became "Zheng Zheng," endearing and cute.
Guan Su Lin grew fonder of this nickname, using it seven times out of ten in their conversations.
"What business?" Zheng Mengni asked.
"I'll be out of the country for a couple of months, but I promise to bring you back before school starts. After that, I'll take care of the startup capital for the studio and the subsequent establishment and operation of the company without asking for any return."
He spoke slowly, his words more melodious than a song, laying out tempting conditions that were hard to resist.
Zheng Mengni quietly asked, "So now it's your turn to use me, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Zheng Zheng," he elongated her name as if genuinely hurt. "If you say it like that, I’ll be sad. So you were using me all along?"
He cheerfully continued, "It's fine, it's fine; as long as you're happy. But I am quite useful, aren't I?"
Zheng Mengni avoided answering and silently listened to Guan Su Lin's performance. She knew very well that things were not that simple.
The country was Guan Su Lin's hometown—the Guan Family, a powerful and influential clan. Whatever Guan Su Lin planned to do upon his return, Zheng Mengni could guess at least a little bit. But the rewards were always proportional to the risks involved.
Hesitant and reluctant, one stands still, unable to grasp the greater matters at hand. On this path, one cannot avoid dancing with wolves; since it is a challenge, why not embrace it and enjoy the experience?
