Chapter 124: One Dare to Say It, and the Other Dare to Bring It!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
âMiss Yu, is this the Yu family from Jiang City?â Zhou Yangheng smiled. âYes.â Yu Anwan had nothing to deny.
No matter what, the Yu family was still quite well-known in the field of perfumery. The Zhou family couldnât possibly be unaware of it. It was just that the Yu family was not presentable in front of the Zhou family.
But did it matter?
Yu Anwan also had no intentions of relying on the Yu family. The Yu family was utterly unreliable.
As for other matters, Yu Anwan didnât need to worry. Back then, no one knew that the one who married into the Wen family was none other than Yu Anwan, the illegitimate daughter of the Yu family. Wen Jin didnât allow this fact to be disclosed, he only made their marriage public, and that was it.
They didnât hold a wedding ceremony, nor did they inform anyone.
Moreover, with the intervention of the Wen family, these details were all concealed. Therefore, the members of the Zhou family wouldnât know about Yu Anwanâs relationship with Wen Jin.
Yu Anwan wasnât concerned about it.
âMiss Yu looks quite exquisite. Itâs evident that sheâs Zhou Shenâs type,â Zhou Yangheng remarked with a smile, appearing quite affectionate.
Yu Anwan offered a gracious smile and didnât say much, simply standing her ground with composure.
Zhou Yangheng nodded and continued, âItâs nice when a young lady is attractive. After all, this is the first time Zhou Shen has brought a girl home, and his taste seems impeccable.â
Yu Anwan arched her eyebrow slightly, responding calmly, âThank you, Uncle Zhou.â
Zhou Yanghengâs words carried a veiled message. He was subtly suggesting to Yu Anwan that being a decorative piece was sufficient, and she shouldnât concern herself with other matters.
In essence, the Zhou familyâs production line had nothing to do with her, Yu Anwan. Zhou Yangheng wasnât going to grant it, and even if Zhou Shen had brought it up, it still wouldnât be possible.
Yu Anwan wasnât naive. She understood perfectly.
However, Yu Anwan chose not to address it openly. At least, in this matter, she owed Zhou Shen a favor.
Consequently, Yu Anwan didnât want to put Zhou Shen in an awkward position.
Zhou Yanghengâs voice soon chimed in again, âIâve heard that Miss Yu has a child?â
âYes.â Yu Anwan didnât deny it.
It was a fact that she had a child, but she had only let the public know about Xiaobao, keeping Dabao hidden quite well, especially in Jiang City. Yu Anwan did not want to cause any trouble.
âNot bad at all. Having a child and ambition, itâs commendable.â Zhou Yangheng maintained his courteous tone. âHowever, this ambition needs to be substantiated by the product, wouldnât you agree, Miss Yu?â
âYes.â Yu Anwan didnât contest.
Zhou Yangheng nodded. âZhou Shen, keep Miss Yu company. I have other matters to attend to.â
With that said, Zhou Yangheng dismissed Yu Anwan and Zhou Shen. He turned away and headed towards his old friend.
It was a clear rejection.
Zhou Yangheng wouldnât mind Zhou Shen amusing himself with Yu Anwan. However, for Zhou Shen to marry Yu Anwan, just as Yu Anwan wanted access to the Zhou familyâs production line, was an unattainable aspiration.
Yet, someone as astute as Zhou Yangheng would never allow the situation to become awkward.
Yu Anwan stood where she was and didnât say anything.
âMy dad is praising you!â Zhou Shen seemed unaffected, nudging Yu Anwan playfully.
Yu Anwan smiled back at Zhou Shen. âZhou Shen, how did you live until now.â
Zhou Shen was puzzled by her words.
Why couldnât he understand?
What did his fatherâs praise of Yu Anwan have to do with him living until now? He had lived until now because he ate, drank, and had fun.
Yu Anwan couldnât be bothered by Zhou Shenâs confusion. She sighed and continued walking towards Zhou Yangheng.
Surrendering without a fight wasnât Yu Anwanâs style.
âWhere are you going, Wanwan?â Zhou Shen snapped back to reality.
He quickly caught up with her.
Zhou Yangheng probably hadnât anticipated Yu Anwan keeping up. As a result, Zhou Yanghengâs brow furrowed this time, revealing a hint of displeasure. However, he still afforded Yu Anwan a measure of respect in front of Zhou Shen.
âMiss Yu, Zhou Shen already briefed me about your purpose here. The Zhou familyâs production line cannot be given away just like that. If you want it, thatâs fine. But setting aside Zhou Shenâs involvement, I need to see a product that can demonstrate real profitability. Otherwise, I wonât provide it,â Zhou Yangheng stated plainly.
Zhou Shen was about to say something when Zhou Yangheng glanced at him.
âZhou Shen, this is not your decision to make.â
Feeling somewhat awkward, Zhou Shen scratched his nose and fell silent.
As Yu Anwan was about to elaborate on the product, Wen Jin suddenly appeared, almost ghost-like.
Seeing Wen Jin, Zhou Yanghengâs demeanor swiftly shifted. Despite being older, Zhou Yangheng showed a modicum of respect towards Wen Jin. After all, Wen Jinâs status and tactics were well-known in the business world.
One couldnât afford to offend him.
âPresident Wen.â Zhou Yangheng greeted politely.
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, his gaze briefly sweeping over Yu Anwan before settling on Zhou Yangheng with a faint, enigmatic smile. âPresident Zhou, my apologies. I unintentionally overheard a conversation from a corner.â âNo problem. Sheâs Zhou Shenâs girlfriend,â Zhou Yangheng responded nonchalantly.
âMiss Yu, isnât it?â Wen Jin feigned a recently acquainted tone. âCoincidentally, I happen to know a few things.â
Zhou Yangheng fell into contemplative silence, struggling to decipher Wen Jinâs intent. Was she speaking up for Yu Anwan? Or was there another motive at play?
However, if he were to advocate for Yu Anwan, Wen Jin held the worldâs most advanced production line in his hands. He could have simply given it to her. Why did he require Yu Anwan to approach him?
Zhou Yangheng remained composed.
On the contrary, Yu Anwan became more alert.
She stared at Wen Jin, her eyes carrying a warning, but Wen Jin remained indifferent and spoke with a half-smile, âMiss Yu, you havenât even attended university, yet you speak so boldly. You want to request a fragrance production line from the Zhou family?â
As he spoke, Wen Jinâs gaze also held a touch of disdain, âOne dares to speak, the other dares to bring it here. I truly canât decide if youâre attempting to embarrass President Zhou or treating this as a trivial matter.â
âWen Jin, you!â Yu Anwan clenched her teeth, her eyes fixed on Wen Jin. However, Wen Jin maintained his composure. âArenât I just stating the truth?â Yu Anwan found herself momentarily speechless.
Because it was indeed true. Even during her years in London, Yu Anwan had never set foot in a university. She had never felt the need, considering diplomas were often mere tools of deception. Yu Anwan had no use for them.
However, Yu Anwan had never thought that one day, this matter would become a sharp weapon for Wen Jin to attack her.
Wen Jinâs words made Zhou Yanghengâs expression change, and he became even more dissatisfied with Yu Anwan.
One was beautiful and had a child. Her goal was to get the Zhou familyâs production line. Now, she was someone who had never gone to university.
What wishful thinking!
Was this mockery directed at himself or the Zhou family?
Zhou Yanghengâs face darkened instantly. However, when he looked at Wen Jin, Zhou Yangheng was still very polite. âThank you for your reminder, President Wen.â
âYouâre welcome,â Wen Jin responded in a nonchalant tone.
At this point, the balance of the situation had unequivocally shifted into Wen Jinâs hands..
