Chapter 71 Yu Yan Became a Hot Commodity

Xiang Jingheng got into the car with Xiang Chu. Looking at his phone, he felt a heavy weight on his heart as he thought about how Yu Yan had blocked him.

"Dad, why is she angry?"

Xiang Chu suddenly looked at Xiang Jingheng, "Is it because I spoke up for my godmother?"

Xiang Jingheng turned to look at his son, and his expression became somewhat serious as he recalled what Yu Yan had said.

"Xiao Chu, let me ask you, do you really think Gan Xiaoxing did nothing wrong by stealing the thesis?"

Xiang Chu pursed her lips. "That's wrong. What belongs to others belongs to them. Even if we don't have it, we can't steal or rob it. That's the behavior of a thief, and it's immoral."

Xiang Jingheng breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

My son is also capable of distinguishing right from wrong.

"Why are you so upset when people say Gan Xiaoxing is a thief?"

Xiang Jingheng lightly tapped his son's head. "You still got into a fight, one against three. What if you couldn't win and got hurt? Next time you encounter a situation like this, run away if you should. Don't be a hero."

Xiang Chu pouted, "I didn't hear them clearly at first. They started cursing at my mother right away. I thought they were cursing at..."

Xiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, "You think they were insulting your mother, Yu Yan?"

Xiang Chu remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Xiang Jingheng smiled and said, "Why didn't you say anything in front of your mother just now? She thought you were protecting Gan Xiaoxing and not on her side."

“I’m not going to tell her, anyway, she has no intention of forgiving me. I know she thinks I’m in cahoots with my godmother, and she hates me because of the thesis.”

Xiang Chu leaned back in her chair and spoke slowly, her face tense, "She even blocked my phone number."

"Don't think like that. You are her biological son. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between a mother and son."

Xiang Jingheng patted Xiang Chu's head and comforted him: "Your mother is mainly angry with me today. She blames me. I'll explain to her for you later."

"No need. Dad, you don't need to lower yourself to coax her anymore."

Xiang Chu said, "She's already taken, and she's about to start a new life. She'll completely abandon us."

"What do you mean 'already taken'?" Xiang Jingheng's hand paused in mid-air.

Xiang Chu looked up at him and said, "I asked Uncle Shao in the restroom if you were with my mother."

"And then?" Xiang Jingheng asked eagerly, "What did Shao Muyan say?"

Xiang Chu snorted lightly, "He said, you can think that way."

!

An exclamation mark rose in Xiang Jingheng's mind.

That's one way to put it... Does that mean Yu Yan and Shao Muyan are really together?

No wonder, no wonder the two of them are always inseparable, always so affectionate!

That guy surnamed Shao really acted fast!

Xiang Jingheng gritted his teeth, so angry he wanted to bite someone.

The phone rang; it was his assistant, Jin Fan, calling. Xiang Jingheng answered, "We're heading back now. The meeting has been postponed to half an hour later."

"President Xiang," Jin Fan wanted to say something else, "I just received news that the president of Huaxiang Technology came to Shangzhou today and met with Third Master Shao and Miss Yu together with President Shao."

Xiang Jingheng was startled.

"Who are you talking about, Hua Zhidao, the CEO of Huaxiang Technology?"

"yes!"

Xiang Jingheng frowned. "He and which President Shao?"

"Miss Shao, Mr. Shao Min."

broken!

Xiang Jingheng's expression changed, and he immediately canceled the meeting and drove to catch up with Yu Yan.

He knew what was going on as soon as he heard Shao Min's name.

Everyone in the industry knows about the relationship between Hua Zhidao and the Shao family. Even though Hua Zhidao and Shao Min did not become husband and wife, it is no secret in the industry that Huaxiang Technology has the support of the Shao Group.

His sudden arrival in Shangzhou and his meeting with Yu Yan make it easy to guess why he came!

Yu Yan is now the most sought-after person in all major tech companies. This person is the closest to him and the most intimate with him, so he can't let someone else snatch her away halfway!

—

My good mood for the day was ruined just like that.

Yu Yan felt uneasy. She could accept her own fate, since she had to bear the consequences of her own actions. But what had Shao Muyan done wrong?

I'm always running around with her like this, and we never even get to enjoy shopping at the mall.

"Uncle Yan." Yu Yan called out suddenly as she looked at a small shop flashing by on the street.

Shao Muyan: "Hmm?"

Yu Yan turned her head, her eyes flashing slightly, "Let me treat you to milk tea."

Shao Muyan spoiled Yu Yan; he never said "no" to her.

After finding a place to park the car, they realized they had arrived at Upstate University Road.

They were both students at Shangzhou University, but when they were in school, they were frequent visitors to the library and laboratory, and they had never really gone out shopping. Especially since Yu Yan had only recently returned to China, she found everything strange and seemed like she had never seen the world before.

Her eyes swept over the drink menu, and Yu Yan, not understanding, asked, "I haven't had milk tea much, have you?"

Shao Muyan nodded, "I'll buy it for Shao Yun if I see it occasionally."

"So, what's good to drink?"

"This one," Shao Muyan pointed to one of the dishes, "is good."

I ordered another one, "This one is good too."

"Okay, I'll take these two!"

Yu Yan placed her order and took out her phone. This time, Shao Muyan didn't try to take it from her. Instead, he went to the pastry section next door and asked Yu Yan what she wanted to eat.

"Let's buy some bread and make sandwiches," Yu Yan said. "Can Sister Min and Yunyun come over tonight? How about we also order a cake and eat together tonight?"

Shao Muyan agreed.

The cake is made to order.

Shao Muyan, carrying two cups of milk tea, found a seat by the window with Yu Yan and got two more straws.

After taking a sip of milk tea, Yu Yan gave a satisfied "hmm".

No girl can resist something as delicious as milk tea.

Shao Muyan smiled, inserted two straws into his cup, and gave one to her, saying, "Try this one too."

Yu Yan took a breath, and her eyes lit up again.

"How come everything tastes so good?" she exclaimed in amazement. "What's going on?"

The two of them placed the two cups of milk tea in the middle, taking a sip from one cup and then a sip from the other.

"I'll work on the recipe later," Shao Muyan said. "We can make it at home ourselves."

"I think it's okay."

Yu Yan nodded, "These pearls are easy to make. Let me learn how. Yunyun likes to drink them, and we feel more at ease with the ingredients we make ourselves."

Shao Muyan nodded.

The two of them can talk about anything and are both action-oriented; they've already started looking up ingredients and plan to go to the supermarket to buy them later.

As they were talking, two figures suddenly crouched down by the window, blocking out the light.

Yu Yan and Shao Muyan turned their heads at the same time.

Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu stood outside the window, watching them.

Their eyes met, and...

Yu Yan frowned. She hadn't expected Xiang Jingheng to chase after them with Xiang Chu like this, suddenly appearing here.

Xiang Jingheng didn't expect that after finally catching up with them, he would see Shao Muyan's car parked in the roadside parking lot. He thought something had happened to Yu Yan and hurriedly took Xiang Chu to look for them everywhere.

The result? In broad daylight, the two of them actually went to a bubble tea shop and leisurely drank bubble tea!

They even huddled together, head to head, to drink from the same cup!

That's outrageous!
