Chapter 1088: Chapter 1087: United in Heart
Ka-cha~
The door opened!
The sudden sound of the door opening instantly drew the attention of the women in the room, making them all turn their heads toward the doorway!
Seeing Lin Fan walk in right behind Su Yanyu, the women all froze for a moment; now they were even more confused about what kind of trick Lin Fan was trying to pull this time.
And aside from Gu Qingcheng, the others all felt a faint, uncontrollable nervousness rise in their hearts when they saw Su Yanyu.
Everyone knew perfectly well that Su Yanyu was Lin Fan’s official girlfriend, the publicly acknowledged girlfriend; once they connected that with their own identities, they couldn’t help feeling somewhat intimidated at the thought of facing Su Yanyu!
The women didn’t dare lose their tempers at Su Yanyu, so all their angry gazes landed on Lin Fan instead, making him awkwardly rub his nose over and over. If there had been a crack in the floor, Lin Fan would really have wanted to crawl into it!
I’m being framed here, this really has nothing to do with me!
"Yanyu!"
Gu Qingcheng stepped forward to greet her.
Back at the sect, Gu Qingcheng had long since faced Su Yanyu openly and accepted each other, so she was the most at ease now.
"You’ve worked hard." Su Yanyu nodded to Gu Qingcheng, then stepped toward the other women!
"Su... President Su..."
Nalan Suqin’s voice trembled a little.
Of all of them, Nalan Suqin was the most nervous, because she had once been the subordinate Su Yanyu trusted most; yet she had gone and stolen her superior’s man. Nalan Suqin felt guilty and guilty-conscience both!
Seeing what Nalan Suqin was worried about, Su Yanyu walked up, reached out to hold Nalan Suqin’s jade-like hand, and said softly, "Don’t be nervous, we’re all sisters here."
"Ah?"
Nalan Suqin was stunned for a moment!
She had originally thought Su Yanyu would scold her; she hadn’t expected those words at all, and for a moment she didn’t even know how to react!
Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng took the chance to quietly come to Lin Fan’s side, reached out, and viciously pinched the inside of his thigh, making Lin Fan suck in a sharp breath of pain.
"My dear wife, have mercy!" Lin Fan begged for mercy.
"Hmph! You bastard, what did you call us here for? Don’t tell me it’s to have us all serve you together?" Gu Qingcheng said, laced with a bit of jealousy.
"How would I dare? This wasn’t my idea at all!" Lin Fan said, feeling aggrieved.
"Not your idea?" Gu Qingcheng blinked in confusion, then turned her head to look at Su Yanyu!
At this moment, Su Yanyu’s beautiful eyes were gently resting on the other women as she said softly, "Ladies, thank you for making the trip to the East Sea. Let me state up front: calling everyone here was my idea, not Lin Fan’s."
"However, as for why we were late and kept you all waiting, that’s because Lin Fan’s driving skills are terrible. He’s the one who wasted you sisters’ time. If anyone feels unhappy about it, feel free to teach him a lesson." Su Yanyu announced loudly.
Those words were no small thing; the women instantly started rubbing their fists and flexing their muscles!
"Come on! My dear wife, I’m your actual husband, you can’t sell me out like this!" Lin Fan shouted.
"Lin Fan, prepare to die!"
With a shout from Gu Qingcheng, she rushed at Lin Fan and started punching and kicking. The other women also charged up, surrounding Lin Fan and giving him a good "beating"!
Of course, none of them really used any strength; they were just venting a bit.
And only after this round of punches and kicks did the awkwardness between the women disperse somewhat; when they looked at Su Yanyu again, the fear from before was gone.
Lin Fan, however, was on the verge of tears. Who had he offended? He’d just taken a beating for nothing, and he couldn’t even fight back. He was so wronged!
Simply giving up, Lin Fan lit a cigarette and sat down on the sofa in the corner, planning to stay far away from the battlefield, lest these women suddenly go crazy again later and give him another beating!
At this time, Su Yanyu stood before the women, her expression extremely serious as she said, "This time, actually, the reason I called everyone here: first, for us to get to know each other. Second, I want to give everyone a chance to work together so we can build an empire."
"An empire?"
The women looked at each other, not understanding what Su Yanyu meant!
Su Yanyu snapped her fingers at Lin Fan, and he had no choice but to obediently get up, walk over to an electric switch, and press the button!
Zhi zhi zhi~
With a strange mechanical sound, the curtains covering the three floor-to-ceiling windows slowly rose.
Then Su Yanyu rhythmically knocked on the glass three times, as if sending some kind of secret signal!
Pa pa pa~
The next second, a soft clicking sound came from outside, and then all the lights in the entire palace turned on at once. The place was brilliantly lit, and under the glow of the lights, the whole palace looked magnificently resplendent!
Especially the courtyard, with its paradise-like scenery—it made one feel as though body and mind were both being set free!
If you had to use just two words to describe the scene before their eyes, only "lavishly luxurious" would do!
"Wow! This place is so beautiful!"
"Yanyu, what is this place?"
Ye Fei’Er and Qin Si Xuan couldn’t help blurting out.
"This is the empire we’re going to build."
Su Yanyu said softly, "Lately, I’ve been wanting to create a business empire, to monopolize—or seize a huge share of—the global market in a certain industry. Later, Ruohan gave me the inspiration: beauty."
"I believe each of you has some kind of beauty regimen, right? Undoubtedly, as long as a household has a bit of money and the women have some free time, they’ll go for beauty treatments to slow their aging."
"Women are one of the biggest consumer groups. For the sake of looking good, they’re willing to spend a lot of money. And yet, in the beauty industry, even now, some of the world’s top conglomerates haven’t realized the enormous profits hidden in this field."
"Or maybe they’ve already noticed, but they haven’t built this Beauty Empire. So I want to be the first to unlock this shackle, and at the fastest possible speed, sweep across the globe and open up a broader market!"
Su Yanyu took a deep breath, looked seriously at the women in front of her, and said, "Ladies, our identities go without saying. Since we’ve chosen this role, we should put our hearts into playing it to the end of our lives. I know there are some barriers between us sisters, but we’re all going to stay by Lin Fan’s side. So I hope we can work together with one heart and get along peacefully."
"That’s why I came up with this Beauty Empire plan. I know each of you has a powerful background and substantial assets, so I hope everyone can contribute. I want to bind the strength of us sisters together to build this Beauty Empire and deepen the bonds between us."
With that said, Su Yanyu paused, gazing at the women before her, quietly waiting for their answer.
And after hearing Su Yanyu’s idea, the women were stunned for quite a while as well!
At first, they’d thought Su Yanyu had called them here to declare her sovereignty as the empress of the harem, but they hadn’t expected her to be so broad-minded and actually want to coexist peacefully with them!
Even Lin Fan only now understood Su Yanyu’s real plan after listening to her words, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift into a faint smile!
If there was anyone who could break this barrier and let the women live together in peace, that person could only be Su Yanyu!
