Chapter 407 - Take Advantage of His Perilous Status

This kind of thing could happen in any restaurant. Xia Yu just thought that the world was so small that she could meet them everywhere. She dropped her head and was about to continue to watch the phone, but then she heard a voice in her ear.

“The eldest Miss’s husband in Kang Family is such an ordinary man.”

“It’s the truth. I don’t know how the eldest Miss can be enchanted by him and insist on marrying him.”

“I don’t think so. Chen Wenxuan is handsome. That’s not the whole point. The key is that he is very capable. Although he is very young and was born in the countryside, he really has business sense. Relying on himself, he has had a successful career. He is much better than those rich second generations.”

“No wonder the Kang Family will allow Miss Kang to marry him.”

Xia Yu heard their conversation clearly on the side. She finally understood now why Chen Wenxuan resolutely dumped Bao Na. It was because he had found a real rich second generation.

After a simple meal, Xia Yu returned to the hotel. In the hall, she saw Second Madame sitting there alone, who was solitary. Thinking of her cold attitude to her in the past few days, Xia Yu was a little worried in her mind. She was afraid that Second Madame would ignore her even if she came there to greet her.

She had wanted to pretend that she didn’t see her and walk over directly, but Second Madame suddenly looked up. Xia Yu knew that Second Madame saw her, so she had to bite the bullet and walk to her.

“Auntie, why are you sitting here alone?”

“Alas, I don’t want to be alone, but who can accompany me?” Second Madame suddenly turned emotional for no reason.

Xia Yu knew that she had said some improper words, feeling a little embarrassed. She had to change the topic and said, “Has grandma gone to bed?”

“Your grandma has already gone back.” Second Madame pointed to a stool on the side to let Xia Yu sit down, which meant that she had something to say to Xia Yu. Xia Yu had to sit down opposite her. Second Madame continued to say, “I don’t mean that she treats Little Yan badly. After hearing that he had an accident, she also hurried to the hospital since she was also very anxious. But there is still a great difference between her attitude to Little Yan and Shen Mo. I’m not petty. I don’t mean to compare unrealistically. After all, they are both her grandsons, right?”

Second Madame really didn’t mean to compare unrealistically. She repeatedly warned herself that they were a family and she should not influence their relationship with each other because of jealousy, but the facts were facts. The more she wanted to ignore, the bigger the contrast was.

“Auntie, take it easy.” Xia Yu had a simple family. Her grandpa also had a few brothers. Although Ruyi Tower was still in operation, it was taken care of by almost only her grandpa who did some work at that time.

In her grandpa’s words, the brand was left by the ancestors, so he couldn’t let it sink into eclipse in his hands. Although her grandpa had several brothers, they were unwilling to take the responsibility as they were afraid that it would court debts. No one vied for it.

Her father was the only son of her grandpa in the family. And the brand was built all by himself, so naturally, nobody would vie for it with him. Xia Yu was also the only child, and her parents placed all their hopes on her.

Therefore, she really could not understand Second Madame’s feelings.

“Silly girl, how can I take it easy? We also have shares of Shen Group. If they can talk with us friendly, we may then just hand over it to them. But you also see that they still think that we are the freeloaders who are fed by them.” Second Madame couldn’t stop talking once she began the conversation this time, keeping harping for no reason.

“Girl, I don’t look down upon your family, but I have to reconcile myself to the reality, as Little Yan was born in Shen Family.” Second Madame sighed and said, “After you left in the morning, Old Madame said that First Madame envied me so much. I have a filial son, and you are also a considerate girl. You two love each other so much. In this regard, she really can’t compare to me.”

Second Madame said, holding the hand of Xia Yu. “This is why I did not insist on Little Yan and Ke’er being together. Life is too short, and I also want my son to live a happy life.”

“But I also know Old Madame’s intentions at the same time. She said that she was happy that her grandson found his true love and you two loved each other so much, but it is obvious that she wants Little Yan to find an ordinary girlfriend without great family background. Without other help, he can’t compete with Shen Mo at all.”

It was undeniable that Second Madame’s words made sense. But did she mean to ask her to opt out as she waited for her here deliberately and talked too much with her?

It was a great possibility as Second Madame came over with such a cold face. She worried about Shen Yan but also wanted to persuade Xia Yu.

She had experienced so much with Shen Yan together, and then they had come to this point today. It was different from before now, and Xia Yu would not give up their relationship. But Second Madame was Shen Yan’s mother, after all. So, Xia Yu had to consider her words in case that she would hurt her.

When Xia Yu was just thinking what kind of tone she should use to talk with Second Madame, Second Madame spoke again. “But you have experienced so many ups and downs. If I still object to your relationship, it will be too inhuman.”

“Auntie, thank you!” She had thought that Second Madame would ask her to leave Shen Yan as before, but she just changed her attitude and said that she did not object.

She changed too fast, and Xia Yu felt that she couldn’t keep up with her mind. She said these words stiffly after she was stunned for a while.

“Don’t say so. I wait here to say something to you. Old Madame has already gone back, and I can’t stay here for too long, lest they will play tricks when we are not there.” Second Madame had to worry about both her son and the company.

First Madame kept taking action. This time, Shen Yan got injured, so they would take this opportunity to crack down on him heavily. Even if Second Madame couldn’t stop it, she could keep an eye on their movements.

As she kept an eye on them, they did not dare to act too obviously.

Xia Yu understood it. She nodded and said, “Now Shen Yan is recovering. It’s good that you go back first. After two days, I will go back with Shen Yan together. Just call us if something happens.”

“Okay, that’s it.” Second Madame patted Xia Yu’s hand and stood up.

Old Madame had said one right sentence that although Xia Yu did not have a prominent family, she was still a competent girl. She could handle the business on her own. She could handle those things which Shen Yan couldn’t deal with because of his injury.

Now, Zeng Mina’s life was uncertain, and her wedding with Shen Mo had been delayed, too. Two of them were on the same starting line again. Second Madame had also thought about it. They still had the chance to win.

It seemed that Shen Yan did not tell Second Madame that she was the heir of Ruyi Tower. He did it as he wanted Second Madame to accept her sincerely without any additional conditions.

He really had good intentions. Because true love without any impurities could go further. At this moment, Xia Yu really admired Second Madame for making such a big sacrifice.

Early the next morning, after visiting her son, Second Madame nipped back to S city. She really knew First Madame well as First Madame really had some new movements.

When she went back, the board meeting was going to begin. The topic for discussion was how the big customer in the hands of Old Madame would cooperate with Shen Group.

The client wanted to cooperate with their cosmetics company before. But Shen Yan was injured now, and no feasible solution had been come up with yet. Old Madame didn’t want to lose such a great client, so she began the board meeting to discuss it with everyone. And she wanted the client to cooperate with Sheng Da.

Those sensible people understood at once that Young Master Mo was robbing Young Master Yan’s business when the latter one was injured as soon as they heard it. But Old Madame had agreed, and everyone was smart, so nobody would object to it.

However, there were many complaints against Shen Mo privately. When he was in trouble, Shen Yan had done so much for him. It was okay that he didn’t thank him, but he couldn’t take advantage of his perilous status at least.

Seeing Second Madame, several directors came over to ask about Shen Yan’s situation and mentioned this client incidentally. With this business, Shen Yan’s victory was almost certain.

It was clear that Old Madame did not want Shen Yan to win as she did so.

“Second Madame, you must fight for yourself.” It was not proper for the directors to say too much, so after a few simple words, they entered the conference room.

They did not prepare anything, so how could she fight with others?

She knew that Old Madame came back in advance as she would do something, so she followed her to come back quickly. But it was still too late.

“Sister-in-law, how is Little Yan now? I wanted to visit him with Little Mo at first, but the company has to be taken care of by someone.” First Madame knew in her mind what was going on when she saw that Second Madame came back.

She was really shrewd, but so what? It was still too late. You didn’t prepare anything. After a while, Old Madame would ask you for a plan at the meeting, but you couldn’t hand it out, while Little Mo had a complete plan here. We would take over the business absolutely.

They had been framed by Zhou Jiamin for such a long time. She had thought that it boded ill rather than well at first, but it seemed that they had made good the narrow escape. Even God was helping them now, as Shen Yan just got injured at this time.

Therefore, this time, they must seize this opportunity and make a great comeback, trampling Shen Yan under foot completely and assuring the victory in advance.

“Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. He is much better now. He will be back in two days. He cares about his grandmother’s upcoming birthday, so he just let me come back to help.” Second Madame said in her heart how you could be so kind to visit him. You just wanted him to get hurt more seriously.

“Poor boy. He is hurt so badly, but he still worries about this. His big brother is at home. He does not need to worry about anything.” First Madame smiled. Even if you came back, what could you do? You could just watch our actions helplessly.

“It’s his good intention, after all.” Second Madame felt disgusted and angry because First Madame was too smug, but she did not show it.

This time, they gained an extra advantage, but she didn’t believe that they would still be so lucky the next time.

“Second Madame!” When they were playing a double game, Liu Sijie rushed over.

“Assistant Liu, why are you here? It’s the meeting for directors.” First Madame glanced at Liu Sijie, thinking in her mind that Shen Yan’s man was really informed as he could get the news so quickly and then rush over.

But so what? He couldn’t get in out of his poor position.

“Is there a board meeting in the company? Sorry, I don’t know. Young Master Yan worried about Second Madame as she came back alone, so he let me come over to have a look.” Liu Sijie quickly explained and said.

First Madame had heard from the people who came there with Old Madame before that Second Madame and Xia Yu made a terrible scene. When Old Madame was there, they still had to restrain themselves. But after Old Madame left, they would betray themselves then.

Second Madame must have been driven back by Xia Yu out of anger. It was no wonder that she worried about her son so much, but she did not come back with him.

“Since you have something to talk about, I’ll get in first.” First Madame said quickly. After taking two steps in the direction of the conference room, she turned back and said to Second Madame, “The meeting is going to begin soon, so you will make a long story short.”

Second Madame nodded and then took Liu Sijie to her office. “What happened?”

“This is the plan that Xia Yu worked overtime to work out yesterday. Young Master Yan and I have checked it and made some modifications. Please submit it to the board of directors later for Young Master Yan.” Liu Sijie didn’t know there would be a board meeting until the morning. The plan was printed just now, and it was still hot.

“The plan made by Xia Yu?” Second Madame remembered that when she sent Old Madame to the hospital to visit her son yesterday, Shen Yan was alone in the hospital.
