"Back when I was a trainee under my brother-in-law, I heard about your extraordinary abilities, an exemplary model of a student king! Though I didn't get the chance to witness it then, today I finally see it's true fame!"
No one expected it.
Even Li Yan knew how to navigate social situations at times.
At such a critical moment, he learned to say nice things appropriately, making his brother-in-law feel quite comfortable.
Li Yan, usually righteous, corresponded with this accidental flattery.
Everything seemed exceptionally genuine.
Gu Qing was pleased by the flattery.
The violent anger within him finally subsided a bit.
Even the 'smile' on his face gradually faded.
Not as angry anymore!
Thinking to himself, actually speaking of which.
This Li Yan isn't a bad seed after all.
With time, some nurturing!
He could certainly achieve greatness.
In this regard, he shared the same view as his father.
Looking at it this way, Gu Tong marrying him doesn't feel like a loss.
