"Qin Wan, Uncle Sheng is already very sad." Chu Yan looked at Qin Wan with pleading eyes.

Qin Wan glanced at Chu Yan indifferently and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed sad, after all, I left her speechless."

Father Sheng: "..."

Chu Yan: "..."

"Uncle Sheng, Yueyue is too emotional, and I'm not very comfortable with her. Why don't you go and explain things to her?"

"And Brother Sheng, what if he also misunderstands you, Uncle..."

Sheng Yue is clearly not the focus; it is Sheng Si, the current head of the Sheng family, who is the real key figure.

Sheng Si now holds great power in the Sheng family. If he develops a prejudice against Sheng's father, one can imagine what Sheng's father's future will be like.

Thinking of this, Sheng's father's expression changed.

Coupled with Qin Wan's aggressive demeanor and his constraints due to her status as the heir to the JC Group, he decided it was better to leave than to stay here.

Thinking of this, Mr. Sheng looked at Chu Yan with satisfaction.

Compared to her immature daughter Sheng Yue, Chu Yan was a much more obedient child.

When only Qin Wan and Chu Yan were left in the large ward, Chu Yan looked at Qin Wan with tender eyes.

"May I call you Sister Qin?"

Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and glanced at her indifferently, then picked up a green grape from the table and casually tossed it into her mouth.

"JC Group only has one eldest daughter."

"My parents only had me as their daughter."

Upon hearing this, a hint of melancholy flashed across Chu Yan's eyes, but she did not push her luck.

"Qin Wan, I mainly want to apologize to you today."

"What happened at the banquet before was because Yan Mu and the others were too worried about me, which led them to misunderstand you. I want to apologize to you here."

“If it weren’t for me, Yan Mu and Hao Chen wouldn’t have been prejudiced against you.”

"Don't worry, I will explain this to them."

At this point, Chu Yan paused, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, "If I can, I will find a way to make them apologize to you."

No wonder Sheng Yue couldn't beat her...

Chu Yan's words were an attempt to show goodwill and apologize to her, and to take the initiative to get closer to her.

However, she did not try to shift the blame. Instead, she explained that Yan Mu and the others were worried about her and cared about her, which is why they acted inappropriately.

Finally, she added a sentence implying that, to Yan Mu and the others, she was just an orphan living in the Sheng family, and her words might not be of much use to them.

sharp.

After understanding the deeper meaning in Chu Yan's words, Qin Wan did not forget to reciprocate her kindness, pointing to the water glass on the bedside table to remind her to care for Chu Yan.

Chu Yan looked up at her in surprise, and Qin Wan smiled brightly.

"Speaking and acting out crying scenes both drain your body's water, so you need to replenish it."

"……Thanks."

Chu Yan truly lived up to her reputation as someone capable of great things; even after Qin Wan exposed her, she still managed to keep her composure.

After taking a sip of water, Chu Yan smiled and looked up at Qin Wan.

"Qin Wan, you're such a kind person."

Qin Wan: "..." She's met her match.

Chu Yan's skin is as thick as a city wall, and her mentality is so strong that she can easily defeat the male leads and supporting characters, led by Yan Mu.

"Sheng Si and I are discussing the date for our engagement." To strike at the heart of the matter, Qin Wan decided to be direct with Chu Yan.

Chu Yan tightened her grip on the water glass.

“You grew up in the Sheng family and call Sheng Si ‘brother.’ After we get engaged, I’ll be considered your half-sister-in-law, although it’s just a verbal title and we’re not related by blood, unlike Sheng Yue.”

Chu Yan: "..."

"But as your sister-in-law, I should make plans for your and Shengyue's important life events."

“You are different from Sheng Yue. She is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family and is destined for an arranged marriage.”

“You have no real relationship with the Sheng family, and since Uncle Sheng dotes on you, he will definitely not make you sacrifice yourself in this marriage.”

"..." Chu Yan's breath hitched for a moment.

"I just wanted to ask you today, do you have a boy you like? Or is there something between you that you both like each other?"

"While you are still young and have the backing of the Sheng family, I can still help you and try my best to find you a good marriage."

"I...don't...need!" Chu Yan's eyes were dark and her gaze was fixed on Qin Wan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at her with disapproval.

"Chu Yan, you are a smart girl, you should plan ahead for yourself."

As she spoke, Qin Wan looked towards the doorway.

"You saw what happened just now. Given Sheng Yue's temperament, she definitely won't let this go."

"If things get out of hand, Uncle Sheng is, after all, the biological father of Sheng Si and Sheng Yue, and they share an unbreakable blood relationship."

"But you're different. After all, you're an outsider living in the Sheng family, and you have no blood relation to the Sheng family..."

“If things escalate and become a big deal, I’m afraid you’ll completely lose the Sheng family as your backer.”

"At that time, it will be difficult for you to find a suitable husband."

As she spoke, Qin Wan looked at Chu Yan with sympathy in her eyes, and with a helpless expression, she casually picked up a green grape and threw it into her mouth.

"Chu Yan, I'm doing this for your own good, for your own sake."

Even if you can't understand my good intentions, you should still plan and think carefully about your future.

"After all, you're just an orphan with no parents..."

Qin Wan's last words completely enraged Chu Yan.

"Qin Wan, you haven't even married into the Sheng family yet, so calling yourself the eldest sister-in-law is a bit too presumptuous."

"Besides, Uncle Sheng is still young. He is still the one in charge of the Sheng family. He will take care of my marriage. I won't trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan chuckled and raised an eyebrow, casually tossing another green grape into her mouth.

"Since you don't appreciate it, I naturally won't meddle in your business."

"I'd better focus on Sheng Yue's marriage arrangements..."

"The Yan family is definitely finished, and the Jiang family isn't much better..."

"The Song family's influence is slightly less than that of the Yan and Jiang families..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan gently stroked her chin, feigning a troubled and thoughtful expression.

"It seems like none of the circles the Sheng family associates with are really suitable for Sheng Yue..."

"It seems I can only try to find someone for Sheng Yue within the circle maintained by the Meng family..."

At this point, Qin Wan frowned slightly and openly "muttered" in front of Chu Yan.

"How about we choose from the top wealthy families abroad?"

What do you think of some of the families on the global rich list?

As she spoke, Qin Wan looked at Chu Yan with anticipation, as if asking for her opinion.

At this moment, Chu Yan could no longer laugh.

She stared at Qin Wan expressionlessly, her gaze fixed and her eyes dark and unfathomable.

"What's wrong?"

Why did you stop laughing?

"Chu Yan, you look beautiful when you smile. I love seeing you smile the most."

Why aren't you saying anything?

Faced with Qin Wan's feigned concern, Chu Yan took a few quick breaths before stiffly tugging at the corners of her mouth, managing an extremely forced smile.

"I was just thinking..."
