Chapter 178 I Don't Like Any of Them
Ten million is a huge sum of money for Yan Yuan.
She lowered her eyes, glanced at the bank card in front of her, and curled her lips into a smile. "Mr. Tang, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept this money."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Tang's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and displeasure filled the air.
“Yan Yuan, I advise you not to ask for too much. Ten million is enough for you to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life.”
Yan Yuan met his gaze and said, "Yes, your Tang family is very rich. Ten million is something I could never earn in my entire life."
Let alone ten million, she couldn't possibly earn even one million.
But so what.
"I know why you've come today. The Tang family and the Fang family are getting married, and the wedding is set for next week. Don't worry, I never wanted to get involved in your affairs. What you're worried about won't happen."
"You talk a good game, but why should I believe you?"
"Because my father passed away."
"..."
A single, brief sentence caused Mr. Tang's expression to change, and the sharpness in his eyes gradually faded.
He looked at her intently.
"I haven't asked for anything back after giving it away, so please accept it."
he's gone.
Yan Yuan watched his retreating figure, her gaze falling on the bank card on the table.
She had a big falling out with Tang Yanzhe because of her father's situation, and the matter even reached Mr. Tang's ears.
There's still one week left.
almost.
"Miss Yan."
A maid appeared behind her. "Mr. Tang is on the phone, looking for you."
Yan Yuan raised her eyes and her gaze fell on the landline phone in front of her.
She has very few contacts in her phone, and there's no one she needs to contact. Her phone is left in her room almost all day.
“Tell me I’m busy.”
Yan Yuan did not answer and turned to leave.
The Tang family employs many florists, and since she has nothing else to do, she has been learning their skills from them.
It's not boring at all.
"Miss Yan, you like lilies. These are a new variety that Mr. Tang brought back from abroad. They will bloom in a month. You will like them when you see them."
"It will take a month, which is quite a long time."
Yan Yuan looked at the carefully tended lilies in the flowerpot and said softly, "But I don't like lilies. However, since they are so beautiful, I can try to like them."
"What kind of flowers do you like?"
"...I don't like any of them."
"..."
The florist didn't understand, "So you come every day..."
"Just killing time."
Yan Yuan withdrew her gaze, "I won't disturb you any longer."
She went back to her room.
night.
When Tang Yanzhe returned, Yan Yuan was having dinner.
Why didn't you answer the phone today?
His first words upon arriving at the restaurant were, "I told you, if he comes, you don't have to see him... What did you talk about today?"
Yan Yuan looked up and met Tang Yanzhe's gaze. Her eyes then shifted downwards, glancing at the bank card on the table. "You Tang family members are certainly generous."
The man followed her gaze and saw the bank card on the table.
"I don't know what he said to you, but you don't need to take his words to heart."
"Doesn't Mr. Tang want to know what Mr. Tang told me?"
Yan Yuan put down her chopsticks and said, "I've always been curious, you're already married to Miss Fang, why do you still have other women in your house? Aren't you afraid your future wife will mind?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yanzhe frowned deeply. "Yan Yuan, I've said before that I will handle my affairs with the Fang family. Give me some time."
"I was just curious. Mr. Tang, don't forget our five-year agreement."
Yan Yuan stood up and left the restaurant in front of the other person.
"What five-year agreement?"
Tang Yanzhe held her hand. "Wasn't it invalidated before?"
void?
Yan Yuan met his gaze, a smile playing on her lips. "As expected, you can't trust a man's words. I'm tired and need to rest. Please let go, Mr. Tang."
"It's only a few o'clock, and you're already tired?"
"I have no choice. I've always been physically weak. If I don't get enough rest, my heart won't be able to take it. I'm afraid of letting Sister Mei down."
Chen Mei is Tang Yanzhe's childhood sweetheart.
She was also the original owner of those eyes and heart.
Sure enough, the man's expression changed upon hearing that name, and he released her.
She turned and went back to her room.
It would be strange if she didn't react at all to Mr. Tang's sudden arrival today, just like before.
He's been so docile for too long, it's fun to tease him a little now and then.
-
A sneeze!
Su Yiran sneezed early in the morning. She rubbed her head, feeling a little dizzy.
I think he's caught a cold.
"uncomfortable?"
Gu Yanli touched her forehead worriedly, "It's not hot, I'll have the doctor take a look."
"Need not."
Su Yiran shook her head. "But I've caught a bit of a cold. I'll drink more hot water and see. I'll be fine."
Three-drug.
She is pregnant now and cannot take many medications.
Unless absolutely necessary, avoid taking medication.
Fortunately, the cold wasn't serious. I sneezed a few times, and after drinking warm water, my condition improved.
She was catching up on sleep when a phone call suddenly came in.
"Mrs. Gu."
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Su Yiran was instantly startled awake. She sat up, "Federal?"
Federico laughed on the other end of the phone, "It's an honor that Mrs. Gu still remembers me."
Su Yiran frowned. "How did you get my phone number?"
"you guess."
The other person then burst into laughter.
The laughter made Su Yiran's face turn ugly.
Not many people know her number.
Gu Yanli and Meng Ran would not give her number to anyone else.
Who is it?
No, there's more...
Su Yiran gasped, "Why did you call me?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your pregnancy yet."
"...Something's wrong with you!"
There's something wrong.
Su Yiran hung up the phone immediately and called Gu Yanli, but no one answered. Without hesitation, she changed her clothes and went straight to Gu's Group.
She took the elevator to the top floor.
His office was empty; even the decorations were gone.
She looked at Gu Jing, "Where is the master?"
Gu Jing shook his head.
"Do you know what Madam Lan has been up to lately?"
Gu Jing then shook his head, "My wife, Madam Lan, is not in Kyoto recently."
"If he's not in Kyoto, then where did he go... Never mind, I'll go inside and wait for him."
Gu Jing follows her around every day, so he's probably unaware of anything outside of his duties.
She didn't make things difficult for him any further and turned to go into her office.
He only caught a glimpse of a stack of documents on the table out of the corner of his eye.
what is this?
Just as Su Yiran picked up the documents, Gu Yanli's voice came from behind her, "Yiyi."
She paused, then turned to look at Gu Yanli.
"If you weren't feeling unwell, why did you come here?"
The man glanced at the documents on the table without saying a word, then took her hand and led her back to his office.
