Chapter 42: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Lu Miaomiao does understand Lu Yunqing quite well, and Yunqing also understands her own persona very well.
She decided to follow Lu Miaomiao's script, and just as Lu Miaomiao had expected, she was eager to catch Yan Chen.
So, even though she knew Yan Chen was discussing a collaboration with someone, she still relentlessly sent him messages to harass him.
[Yan Chen, can you go home now?]
Yan Chen, I miss you. Please come back.
……
【Yan Chen, why aren't you replying to my messages? Don't you love me anymore?】
【Yan Chen, don't you love me anymore?!】
Are you having an affair?
How could you do this to me!
Yan Chen stared at the messages popping up on his phone, his head filled with questions.
What's going on here? Desperate Housewives?
Yan Chen and his partners have basically reached an agreement.
Seeing that he was about to lose his last lifeline, Yan Xiu sat to the side with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with a fierce light as he looked at Yan Chen, completely unable to maintain his gentle and refined image.
Seeing that Yan Chen was looking at his phone at this crucial moment, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "It seems that the Yan family doesn't value this cooperation very much."
Upon hearing this, the elderly woman with completely white hair but a sprightly demeanor looked at Yan Chen with a kind smile and said, "Young Yan, do you have someone you like?"
His words carried a hint of intimacy, and he didn't take Yan Xiu's provocations seriously at all.
Ignored, Yan Xiu's expression grew even uglier.
He had originally held a sliver of hope for this collaboration, thinking that offering a little more concession might sway the other party. So even though he knew they preferred the Yan family, he still shamelessly came to try and win them over.
Who knew that when they arrived, they would find out that this old woman was actually an old acquaintance of Yan Mingxuan.
He was already at a disadvantage compared to the Yan family, and with this relationship added on, how could he possibly compete?
If he hadn't still had some sense, he would have turned around and left.
Despite her kind and approachable demeanor, this elderly lady was a formidable businesswoman in her youth, known for her iron-fisted approach to building up her family business.
Now that he's older, he's gradually letting go and allowing the younger generation to take over the family business.
She only agreed to this collaboration because Yan Chen personally intervened, not only to give face to the Yan family and Yan Mingxuan, but also to give face to Yan Chen.
Although Yan Chen is a junior, about the same age as her grandson, his shrewdness and methods are in no way inferior to those of a seasoned business shrew who has been in the business world for decades. Under his leadership, the Yan family business will only develop better and better.
However, the younger generation in her family are not very promising and lack ability, so she may need him to take care of them in the future.
She is now willing but unable, and doesn't know how many more days she has left to live. All she can do while she is alive is to think more about the younger generation and hope to maintain this bond with the Yan family.
Yan Chen stroked his phone, frowning as he read the hysteria in the text. He said to the old lady, "Excuse me, Madam, I need to call my fiancée first."
The old lady smiled and said, "It's alright, go ahead and do it."
Seeing that Yan Chen had walked a little further away to make a phone call, Yan Xiu thought he would take this opportunity to talk to the old lady alone and try to see if he could persuade her to consider cooperating with him by offering her a discount.
However, the old lady was very cold to him. No matter what Yan Xiu said, she remained unmoved, which made Yan Xiu curse the old hag in his heart.
If it weren't for that old hag personally intervening, his chances of success would have been much higher.
Now that the cooperation is completely hopeless and he is about to enter a desperate situation, Yan Xiu really has no intention of sitting here any longer.
He gave Yan Chen a gloomy look, then took his leave with an unpleasant expression.
After sending a series of messages to Yan Chen, Yun Qing felt that it was about time.
Yan Chen definitely doesn't have time to reply to her messages right now.
She's already been so humble, yet Yan Chen still ignores her. Doesn't that prove that what Lu Miaomiao said is true, and that Yan Chen doesn't really love her?
What a huge blow this is!
If she suffers such blows a few more times, she will soon be completely desperate and be led by the nose by Lu Miaomiao.
But before that, she will definitely struggle a few more times, making a last-ditch effort.
She was pondering how to struggle when Yan Chen called.
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Why is Yan Chen acting so unpredictably?
Isn't the cooperation he personally negotiated important enough? Why does he still have time to call her?
Yun Qing reluctantly answered the phone, her eyes instantly welling up with tears as she choked out, "Yan Chen..."
She had originally intended to ask in an anxious tone, "Will you marry me?"
But she quickly swallowed the words back, because she was suddenly worried that Yan Chen would just say "okay" to her.
Hearing her voice trembling with tears, Yan Chen frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Please come back soon, okay? I miss you so much..."
Yan Chen suddenly felt relieved and could even pretend to miss him, so it seemed that nothing was wrong.
"it is good."
Yun Qing: ...
Thankfully, she didn't ask him to marry her.
*
Yan Chen promised Yun Qing to go back soon, and he really did return shortly afterward.
As soon as he entered the house, Yun Qing rushed into his arms. After catching him, she kissed him before he could even speak.
Yan Chen raised an eyebrow. So enthusiastic? He wanted to see what she was up to.
Yun Qing had analyzed it carefully. Following Lu Miaomiao's script, she must be getting more and more uneasy now, because the child in Lu Miaomiao's belly was too much of a threat to her.
Therefore, she will definitely try every means to hold onto Yan Chen before Lu Miaomiao's pregnancy is exposed, and may even want to have a child herself as a bargaining chip.
However, she is a villainous supporting character, and it's already inappropriate for her to be intimate with the male lead. She definitely can't actually defile him.
You have to find the right balance!
Therefore, she had to both strive to do whatever it took and ensure that she did not succeed.
After she fails a few more times, she can then suspect that Yan Chen doesn't want to touch her at all, and then completely believe Lu Miaomiao's lies.
But Yan Chen, who should have cooperated, was now cooperating excessively.
She had only given him a kiss, and hadn't even used all her tricks yet, but she already felt that Yan Chen really wanted to devour her whole.
Yun Qing couldn't help but feel very fortunate that she had made preparations early on.
Just as the two collapsed onto the sofa, their clothes disheveled, a hissing sound came from the kitchen.
Yun Qing quickly nudged Yan Chen, her voice trembling, "I...I cooked porridge..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chen immediately became alarmed, "You're making porridge? Didn't I tell you not to go into the kitchen by yourself?"
As he spoke, he quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, a pot of uncooked porridge sat on the stove, the rice grains churning and overflowing from the boiling water. With a hiss, the flame, which had been turned up to its highest setting, was extinguished.
Yan Chen reached out and turned off the fire, then tidied up the stove.
Turning around, I saw Yun Qing standing pitifully at the kitchen door with her head down.
Yan Chen stared at her without saying a word.
Yun Qing secretly glanced at him, then her eyes reddened, and she said, on the verge of tears, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to cook you a meal. I know I'm clumsy and can't do anything well, but I can learn. Please don't leave me..."
Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall in a steady stream.
