Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Miss Yu, is this the Yu family from Jiang City?” Zhou Yangheng smiled. “Yes.” 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t allow this fact to be disclosed, he only made their marriage public, and that was it.
They didn’t 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 wouldn’t know about Yu Anwan’s relationship with Wen Jin.
Yu Anwan wasn’t concerned about it.
“Miss Yu looks quite exquisite. It’s evident that she’s Zhou Shen’s type,” Zhou Yangheng remarked with a smile, appearing quite affectionate.
Yu Anwan offered a gracious smile and didn’t say much, simply standing her ground with composure.
Zhou Yangheng nodded and continued, “It’s 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.”
Yu Anwan arched her eyebrow slightly, responding calmly, “Thank you, Uncle Zhou.’
Zhou Yangheng’s words carried a veiled message. He was subtly suggesting to Yu Anwan that being a decorative piece was sufficient, and she shouldn’t concern herself with other matters.
In essence, the Zhou family’s production line had nothing to do with her, Yu Anwan. Zhou Yangheng wasn’t going to grant it, and even if Zhou Shen had brought it up, it still wouldn’t be possible.
Yu Anwan wasn’t 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 didn’t want to put Zhou Shen in an awkward position.
Zhou Yangheng’s voice soon chimed in again, “I’ve heard that Miss Yu has a child?”
“Yes.” Yu Anwan didn’t 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.
“Not bad at all. Having a child and ambition, it’s commendable.” Zhou Yangheng maintained his courteous tone. “However, this ambition needs to be substantiated by the product, wouldn’t you agree, Miss Yu?”
“Yes.” Yu Anwan didn’t contest.
Zhou Yangheng nodded. “Zhou Shen, keep Miss Yu company. I have other matters to attend to.”
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 wouldn’t 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 family’s 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 didn’t say anything.
“My dad is praising you!” Zhou Shen seemed unaffected, nudging Yu Anwan playfully.
Yu Anwan smiled back at Zhou Shen. “Zhou Shen, how did you live until now.”
Zhou Shen was puzzled by her words.
Why couldn’t he understand?
What did his father’s 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 couldn’t be bothered by Zhou Shen’s confusion. She sighed and continued walking towards Zhou Yangheng.
Surrendering without a fight wasn’t Yu Anwan’s style.
“Where are you going, Wanwan?” Zhou Shen snapped back to reality.
He quickly caught up with her.
Zhou Yangheng probably hadn’t anticipated Yu Anwan keeping up. As a result, Zhou Yangheng’s brow furrowed this time, revealing a hint of displeasure. However, he still afforded Yu Anwan a measure of respect in front of Zhou Shen.
“Miss Yu, Zhou Shen already briefed me about your purpose here. The Zhou family’s production line cannot be given away just like that. If you want it, that’s fine. But setting aside Zhou Shen’s involvement, I need to see a product that can demonstrate real profitability. Otherwise, I won’t provide it,” Zhou Yangheng stated plainly.
Zhou Shen was about to say something when Zhou Yangheng glanced at him.
“Zhou Shen, this is not your decision to make.”
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 Yangheng’s demeanor swiftly shifted. Despite being older, Zhou Yangheng showed a modicum of respect towards Wen Jin. After all, Wen Jin’s status and tactics were well-known in the business world.
One couldn’t afford to offend him.
“President Wen.” 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. “President Zhou, my apologies. I unintentionally overheard a conversation from a corner.” “No problem. She’s Zhou Shen’s girlfriend,” Zhou Yangheng responded nonchalantly.
“Miss Yu, isn’t it?” Wen Jin feigned a recently acquainted tone. “Coincidentally, I happen to know a few things.”
Zhou Yangheng fell into contemplative silence, struggling to decipher Wen Jin’s 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 world’s 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, “Miss Yu, you haven’t even attended university, yet you speak so boldly. You want to request a fragrance production line from the Zhou family?”
As he spoke, Wen Jin’s gaze also held a touch of disdain, “One dares to speak, the other dares to bring it here. I truly can’t decide if you’re attempting to embarrass President Zhou or treating this as a trivial matter.”
“Wen Jin, you!” Yu Anwan clenched her teeth, her eyes fixed on Wen Jin. However, Wen Jin maintained his composure. “Aren’t I just stating the truth?” 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 Jin’s words made Zhou Yangheng’s 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 family’s 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 Yangheng’s face darkened instantly. However, when he looked at Wen Jin, Zhou Yangheng was still very polite. “Thank you for your reminder, President Wen.”
“You’re welcome,” Wen Jin responded in a nonchalant tone.
At this point, the balance of the situation had unequivocally shifted into Wen Jin’s hands..
