Hong Kong is in full swing
Chapter 15: Trouble
"I was just about to bring this up with the First Madam," Yu Wan replied. "Big Brother wasn't careful enough, and Young Master Wei got a hold of him. Right now, he's been accused of something in the newspapers, and everyone's looking for him to settle the score."
"If you ask me to go find him to help us now, I really don't have the courage."
Wen Huiying hadn't expected that the incident she reported was actually Qiao Wang's doing. She was stunned by Yu Wan's words, and her momentum suddenly weakened. "So, can you just watch your own big brother get sentenced? Prison is no place for humans!"
Yu Wan sighed, "Of course I don't want to, but I really have no choice."
After a rustling sound, there was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and then an old voice came over, "Yu Wan."
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she responded obediently, "Dad."
Qiao Peifeng spoke slowly, like an old man in his twilight years, as if the flame of life could be extinguished at any time.
But Yu Wan knew in her heart that he still had plenty of time to live.
"Your mother wants to talk to you."
Yu Wan held the phone tightly in both hands and sat up straighter unconsciously.
A few seconds later, a faint female voice sounded timidly.
"Baby?"
Yu Wan said in a dry voice: "Yes, I'm here."
Yu Xinxin paused for a moment and asked softly, "Have you eaten? Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"I've eaten." Yu Wan felt her eyes sting a little, and replied softly, "I'm not sick, I'm fine. How are you? Qiao Wang said you've lost weight recently. Have you not been eating well?"
"I'm very good."
Yu Xinxin paused, then lowered her voice and whispered like a thief, "Baby, I really miss you."
Yu Wan clenched her teeth.
Yu Xinxin asked again, "When are you going to Italy? I heard the weather there is very good. Studying abroad is a big deal, but it's a pity I can't send you."
Already been there.
Yu Wan's throat felt more and more uncomfortable.
"I'll come back to see you in a couple of days, okay?"
"Okay." Yu Xinxin smiled, but soon said sadly: "They won't allow me to see you."
Yu Wan took a deep breath and said softly, "Yes, as long as you eat well and take your medicine on time, I will come to see you, okay?"
There was no answer. There was some noise on the other end of the line. Yu Wan vaguely heard Wen Huiying scolding, "She's having another attack! Take her away quickly!"
Yu Wan's fingers gripped the sofa tightly, her eyes burning with anger.
Soon, Qiao Peifeng's voice came, "Don't worry about Qiao Wang's affairs. I will handle it myself. Just take care of Young Master Wei."
Yu Wan managed to squeeze out a hint of obedience from between her teeth, "I understand."
After the call was hung up, Yu Wan's whole body was shaking.
Qiao Peifeng, Qiao Wang, Wen Huiying...
No one can escape!
Just wait for me.
Coming out of the room, he bumped into Wei Size who had just returned from outside. Seeing that Yu Wan didn't look well, he frowned and asked, "Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"
Yu Wan pulled a smile and casually replied, "I'm watching a movie. It's so touching."
"What kind of movie can make you cry like this? Let me see it too."
Yu Wan didn't respond and changed the subject, "Master Wei, has the news matter been resolved?"
"We asked them to retract the article, but you know, this is the information age." Wei Size said, "My work has received a lot of attention, and the online discussion is still quite heated."
As he spoke, he jokingly said, "Maybe even Old Huo, who can't even connect to the Internet, knows about this."
Yu Wan's throat tightened.
Huo Chuyan.
In the bustling city of Hong Kong.
In the president's office of the Huo Group.
Special Assistant Liu Ye reminded: "Mr. Huo, President Wei's meeting time is almost up."
Huo Chuyan responded softly, stood up and ordered: "After ten minutes, ask him to wait for me in the lounge."
"clear."
Pushing the door open and walking out, Huo Chuyan walked towards the bathroom and vaguely heard the conversation of employees in the corridor next to him.
"Hey, did you see that? That beautiful lady surnamed Yu finally hooked up with Young Master Wei. Now marrying into a wealthy family is no longer a dream."
"I saw them yesterday. They were hugging each other tightly. Could they really be in love?"
"That seems to me to be the case."
"I really don't understand what Master Wei likes about her that he actually rejected Miss Wen for her."
"Who knows? Honestly, I admire her for being so bold and getting wet in public to attract attention."
Another employee jokingly said, "After all, he's not an ordinary person. I wouldn't do such a thing. I'm very sensitive to reputation."
The voice disappeared around the corner. Huo Chuyan threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can and turned to walk towards the lounge.
Inside the room, Wei Zhenting, CEO of Jufan Group, was already waiting there.
Seeing him come in, Wei Zhenting smiled and stood up to shake hands with him, "Chu Yan."
Huo Chuyan also smiled a little, "Uncle, please sit down."
The special assistant came in with two cups of coffee. Wei Zhenting said in the lingering aroma of coffee, "It's all thanks to you that Hongyuan's project was signed today."
"You're too kind." Huo Chuyan said calmly and modestly, "The Wei family also contributed a lot to the Hongyuan project. I didn't actually do anything."
This humble attitude made Wei Zhenting feel particularly happy. He smiled and said, "Chu Yan, there's no need to be so modest. If it weren't for you suppressing the Duan family, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get this project. After all, it's all your credit. I'll host a banquet to express my gratitude tonight at six o'clock. You must come."
Huo Chuyan couldn't refuse, so the two continued to talk about the project for a while, and the topic turned to Wei Size.
"Chu Yan, you got off the boat early. I thought that kid from my family had caused some trouble again."
"There were some minor delays, but everything is going smoothly with Si Ze."
"He's only a little clever, he won't amount to anything great." Wei Zhenting said with a smile, "If he had even one-tenth of your Chu Yan's ability, I'd feel much more at ease."
"Si Ze is extremely talented, but he just hasn't found the right stage for him yet." Huo Chuyan took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Speaking of which, I happen to have a case on hand that I'd like to ask Si Ze for help with, but..."
Wei Zhenting's eyes lit up, "Chu Yan, if you have any questions, just tell me directly."
Huo Chuyan smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. The client of the project is expected to arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow. Isn't Si Ze still in Singapore?"
"Easy to solve." Wei Zhenting said readily, "I'll let him return to Hong Kong tonight."
Huo Chuyan put down the coffee cup and chuckled.
"That's great."
When Wei Size received a call from his father Wei Zhenting asking him to return to Hong Kong immediately, Yu Wan happened to be with him.
