From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 70: New Path Encountering Thorns: Perseverance and Response

Wen Nuan rubbed her temples. Qin Lang's name was like a piece of plaster that couldn't be shaken off, stuck to her brand new project book.

It's really a coincidence that I meet him at this critical moment.

Before she could think about it, a loud noise came from the door of the negotiation meeting, like the buzzing of an ant nest in a boiling pot.

Wen Nuan frowned, stood up and walked to the window, and saw the group of "monsters" at a glance.

Leading the group was her utterly awesome father, followed by a few familiar-looking relatives, all dressed up as if they were attending a wedding banquet.

Wen Nuan cursed inwardly, "What bad luck!" Why were these people still haunting her?

How did they know she was here?

A bad premonition came over me.

As expected, her father saw her at a glance, and immediately pushed through the crowd with his beer belly protruding, jogging towards her.

At that speed, if you didn't know, you would think there was a vicious dog chasing him.

Before the security guard could stop him, he cried out with tears and snot: "Nuannuan! My dear daughter! Daddy finally found you!" With her exaggerated acting skills, those who didn't know her would think she was an unfaithful woman who abandoned her husband and children.

Wen Nuan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, walked to the door, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Nuannuan, Dad heard that you are in charge of a big project here! Dad is so happy for you!" Nuannuan's father rubbed his hands and smiled. His flattering look made Nuan feel sick.

"Just say what you want to say." Wen Nuan didn't believe his nonsense.

"Hehe," Wen Nuan's father laughed dryly, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "My dear, I don't have a proper job right now. Can you find me a job in the project that's easier and pays better? It's best to keep the wealth within the family!"

Wen Nuan was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. With his limited ability, he wanted to be in charge of an international cooperation project?

I’m afraid he wants to ruin the project on the first day!

"Dad, this project is no joke, you..."

"Nuannuan, if you don't agree, Dad will go in and tell those foreigners that you..."

Before Wen Nuan's father could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wen Nuan's cold eyes. "How dare you!"

Wen Nuan's father shrank his neck, but the greed in his eyes did not diminish at all.

He was certain that Wen Nuan would compromise for the sake of her own reputation.

During the stalemate, a figure approached from a distance...

Mo Han strode over with a powerful aura, instantly shocking the warm and excellent father.

He walked over to Wen Nuan, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and scanned the group of people in front of him with a sharp gaze. He opened his thin lips and asked, "What are you doing?"

Upon seeing this, Translator Chen quickly walked over to Wen Nuan and whispered, "Sister Wen Nuan, Mr. Li is here!"

Wen Nuan's heart sank. What you feared would come true!

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

No, we must not let President Li see this farce!

She turned around abruptly, staring at her father with cold eyes, and said in a resolute tone: "I'll say it again, I won't agree to any of your requests! If you dare to make trouble again, I will call the police! Then, I won't be the one who is embarrassed!"

Wen Nuan's father was frightened by her sudden tough attitude and didn't dare to speak for a while.

The people watching the excitement also expressed their admiration for Wen Nuan's decisiveness and courage, whispering, "This girl is quite impressive!" "That's right, when facing such a wicked relative, you have to be tough!"

Wen Nuan ignored her father and turned to look at Chen the translator, giving her a look that said, "I'm fine."

She smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened, and turned around...

"Mr. Mo, this is..." Mr. Li's voice came from behind with a hint of doubt.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, keeping a decent smile on her face. Just as she was about to explain, she felt a warm and dry big hand wrapping around her hand.

She turned her head and saw that it was Mo Han.

He gave her a soothing look, then turned to Mr. Li, his tone calm and respectful: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This is my...distant relative, and I have some family matters to take care of."

Mr. Li's gaze lingered on the two people's clasped hands for a second, and a barely perceptible trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

He smiled slightly, his tone somewhat polite, "I understand. Every family has its own problems. But, Mr. Mo, you also know that this cooperation project is of great significance. We attach great importance to the stability of our partners."

Wen Nuan's heart suddenly sank. Mr. Li's words were tactful, but she knew the meaning very well.

He was worried that her family problems would affect the progress of the project!

She felt a huge pressure on her heart, almost making it difficult for her to breathe.

Mo Han calmly tightened his grip on Wen Nuan's hand, with just the right amount of force, giving her strength without appearing overly intimate.

He had a confident smile on his face and said firmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, this little thing won't affect the project. You've seen my wife's abilities; she's definitely the best candidate for this project."

"Madam?" Mr. Li raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "So Mr. Mo is already married? Congratulations! Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Mo Han gave Wen Nuan a meaningful look, his tone carrying a subtle hint of doting: "I'm just worried that you old foxes will keep thinking about my wife and affect my work."

Mr. Li burst into laughter, and the atmosphere seemed to ease a lot.

At this moment, a sharp voice broke the brief harmony: "Mo Han, what do you mean? Are you going to disown your Fourth Uncle for this woman?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fourth Master Mo walking towards them with an angry look on his face...

The appearance of Mr. Mo Si made the atmosphere at the scene freeze instantly.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her state.

She understood that at this moment she represented not only herself, but also Mo Han's reputation and the future of the project.

She gracefully withdrew her hand from Mo Han's grasp and turned to Mr. Li, her tone calm and confident: "Mr. Li, regarding the specific planning and risk assessment of the project, I have prepared a detailed report. Please review it."

She opened the documents in her hand and clearly introduced to Mr. Li the project planning, budget and measures to deal with various emergencies.

Her professional attitude and calm response gradually relaxed Mr. Li's frown, and his eyes showed a bit more appreciation.

He nodded from time to time and occasionally asked some questions, and Wen Nuan answered them fluently, showing strong professionalism.

Mo Han, who was standing aside, looked at Wen Nuan who was talking freely, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

He coughed lightly and said to Fourth Master Mo, "Fourth Uncle, we'll talk about family matters later. Now is work time."

Fourth Master Mo snorted coldly, clearly not buying it: "Working hours? I see you don't have any work in mind, only this woman of unknown origin!"

Wen Nuan's father took advantage of the opportunity and said with a sad face, "Master Mo, we have no other choice but to come to you. Wen Nuan's mother is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money..."

Wen Nuan interrupted him coldly: "Enough! I have severed ties with you. Your life or death has nothing to do with me!"

Mr. Li saw all of this. Although he remained calm on the surface, his evaluation of Wen Nuan dropped a few points in his heart.

After all, in the eyes of a businessman who values ​​family relationships, family disharmony is a big minus point.

After the introduction, Mr. Li closed the document and spoke in a more relaxed tone. "I highly recognize Ms. Wen's professional ability, but as I said before, we value the stability of our partners. I hope Ms. Wen can properly handle her family affairs and not affect the progress of the project."

Wen Nuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will take care of it."

Mr. Li nodded and stood up to leave: "Okay, I look forward to our next meeting."

Looking at Mr. Li's departing back, Wen Nuan knew that this was only a temporary stabilization of the situation, and the real challenge had just begun.

She didn't know what tricks her father would play next, nor how to completely dispel Mr. Li's doubts.

Mo Han walked over to Wen Nuan and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Wen Nuan raised her head and met Mo Han's deep gaze, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

However, at this moment, she keenly caught a sneaky figure in the crowd - Reporter Su, the reporter who likes to dig up gossip, was pointing his camera at them...

"Wait," Wen Nuan suddenly grabbed Mo Han's sleeve and gestured for him to look in a certain direction, "something seems to be wrong..."
