Chapter 6 Acting Secretly to Achieve Your Goal? Use Drastic Measures!

  • Kou Yan's brows knitted and he raised his eyes. When Man Yu's face entered his eyes, his face immediately turned cold and dark. He ordered coldly, "Get out!"
  • "Don't say that!" Man Yu smiled ingratiatingly. She quickly poured Kou Yan a cup of tea and moved closer, "Can't you see that I'm here to apologize and make amends? Mr. Kou, can't you magnanimously forgive me this time?"
  • Kou Yan's eyes were sullen. He said coldly, "I don't need your apology. Miss Man, have you already forgotten what I said when we divorced?"
  • He had said, 'Don't let me see you again.'
  • "But this time I actively came to see you!" Man Yu talked nonsense, twisting his words, "Good or bad, we have shared the same bed before, why are so heartless?"
  • Some things are better left unsaid. When Kou Yan heard her words, his face turned even more dark and cold. He narrowed his eyes and said with a trace of anger, "I already said, I refuse. Don't waste your time, I'm not going."
  • He suddenly stood up, disdainfully looking down at this tiny woman from his almost 190cm height, mercilessly walked over to open the door and politely ordered her to leave.
  • Man Yu vigilantly drew back one step, subconsciously standing at Nie Suhuan's seat.
  • "I'm not going unless you agree to participate," she said as she deliberately put her hand on the back of the chair. She smiled, "I believe Miss Nie will be back soon. Let's resolve this quickly, what do you say?"
  • She was threatening him?
  • Kou Yan's eyes flared with anger. He pulled his beautifully-shaped lips into a cold smile, "Man Yu, do you know who you're negotiating with right now? Who do you think you are?"
  • Man Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled as if the word shame didn't exist in her vocabulary. "Who I think I am doesn't matter, we were once husband and wife. Right now, I'm begging you for help, so I need to be shameless," she said frankly, as if what she was saying was reasonable and right.
  • These words directly challenged Kou Yan's bottom line.
  • He laughed coldly, "What? Are you regretting it?"
  • Hm?
  • Man Yu couldn't quite understand his thought process. She then heard his cold voice say with disgust, "You couldn't find an excuse, so you found such a shabby pretext?"
  • Man Yu froze for a moment before realizing what he was implying.
  • "You think that I don't want to divorce, so I'm backing out?" Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she scoffed, "How can you be so narcissistic?"
  • A blue vein on Kou Yan's temple twitched. He went forward and lifted her to the door by her shoulders. "Then don't harbor any more delusions, leave!"
  • "Oi-" His push caught her unawares and she stumbled. Before she could stop him, he had already closed the door, shutting her outside.
  • Son of a bitch!
  • Man Yu was furious but she glimpsed Nie Suhuan approaching from afar so she had no choice but to turn and leave.
  • Did Kou Yan really think that she had no other methods?
  • Man Yu violently clicked on her seat-belt imagining she was shoving it into Kou Yan's face. She turned on the GPS, "Old Military District Compound!"
  • "Destination, Old Military District Compound, the route has been mapped, please follow the path to reach the main road!" The GPS system's ice-cold mechanical woman's voice started giving directions.
  • She changed the gear, reversed and drove out the parking lot. At the same time, she dialed a number, and spoke into the phone with a sweet and gentle voice, "Hello, Grandfather, I haven't seen you in ages..."
  • Her brilliant red lips curved up into a sinister smile. Man Yu asked, "...Can I come to see you?"
  • Kou Yan, just wait and see!
  • The Old Military District Compound was situated in a prime location in the center of the city. The exterior walls of the courtyard-style multi-story building had already been revamped, but the inside maintained the typical military style, concise and spacious.
  • "Clack, clack, clack!" The mahjong table was a scene of jubilation. Surrounded by wisps of smoke, the old men watched closely around the table. Sitting at the center was an elderly man with a head of white hair that didn't have a single gray strand. Holding a cigarette pipe in his mouth, he arranged his mahjong tiles with shrewd narrowed eyes.
  • Man Yu clicked her tongue and peeked at Master Kou, who was next to her, from the corner of her eye. She tacitly discarded a tile, "Green Dragon!"
  • Master Kou sonorously declared, 'Kong!' He was over the moon. He drew a tile from the wall, "Self-pick, I win!"
  • He pushed his tiles forward. He was so happy his eyes were crescents. The surrounding people couldn't help but shake their heads as they fished out several dimes and threw it onto the table.
  • "I kindly accept!" Master Kong wasn't bothered the abysmal amount of money. He happily raked it into his metal case, and patted Man Yu, "So, what brings you here, little lass?"
  • "I haven't played mahjong for a long time. My hands were itching play." Man Yu fished out fifty cents and put it into Master Kong's metal box. He contently shook the box. Judging from the dull sound, the case was already packed.
  • "Alright, I'm calling it a day. My grandson's wife is here, you guys play without me!" Master said with a smile and stood up. He said his goodbyes to everyone before he walked with his cane to his room, taking Man Yu with him.
  • The Kou Family was a standard military family with three generations of soldiers, Master Kou down to Kou Yan. They were all either generals or high-ranking soldiers. Even Kou Yan had become a colonel before thirty.
  • Kou Yan's father was busy with government affairs, and was always on business trips, leaving only Kou Yan's mother and Kou Mingzhu in the house. Master Kou, who was over eighty, on the other hand was living a life of leisure. He spent his days playing mahjong and going on walks with his birds. He was as happy as can be!
  • "Little lass, you haven't visited me for so long. Why didn't you bring Kou Yan with you?" Master Kou asked while feeding his birds. He was in a very bright mood.
  • Kou Yan?
  • Man Yu clicked her tongue. If she told him that they were already divorced, won't Master Kou immediately storm to Kou Yan's place with an Arisaka Type 38 rifle?
  • "He's busy!" Man Yu said gently, "Grandfather, I actually came to ask you for help. Kou Yan is always busy, even we don't have much time to meet up. It's not just you, I want to see him too."
  • Man Yu was a sweet talker. Besides Kou Yan's father, Master Kou liked this granddaughter-in-law the most in the Kou Family. Man Yu was good at talking, thoughtful and considerate. He favored her the most out of all his grandchildren.
  • "That stinky brat, now that he's a colonel, he doesn't even take care of the matters at home!" Master Kou threw down box of bird food, and said, clearly siding with Man Yu, "Wait, I'll ring and tell him off."
  • "Don't, Grandfather." Man Yu was smiling inwardly, but she spoke like a virtuous wife and filial granddaughter-in-law, "You see, I've already found an opportunity. Since we married, I've been working at a culture and media company. Our company has recently planned a live outdoor exploration reality show. I'm the screenwriter-director. I want to get Kou Yan to participate because he has the most experience in this field but no matter what I say he just doesn't get it, so I came to ask you to persuade him with your powerful tongue."
  • "Oh? I never expected that you would think of all this." Master Kou was elated by her boot-linking, "It must be tough for you to have to go through such pains. But he's pig-headed and stubborn, I'm afraid he's not going to agree that easily."
  • "Grandfather~" Man Yu started acting cute, "Think about it, Kou Yan has a good image, he's famous and has experience. If he participates in this reality program, he can also use it to advertise the army. Also, in these three years, we've spent more time apart than together, I also have a bit of an ulterior motive..."
  • Man Yu affected embarrassment, "Everyone says that once there is a child, a man will have a change of heart..."
  • Her words couldn't be any clearer. Master Kou understood right away. This was a matter concerning the Kou Family line. He repeatedly nodded, "You're right. Leave it to me."
  • "But... What if Kou Yan doesn't agree?" Man Yu pretended to furrow her brow in a troubled manner.
  • Master Kou snorted coldly, and pulled out a stack of papers, "This is an official assignment. He has to go no matter what!"
