Jian Yu noticed that Lu Wei was staring intently at her glasses. Because she was wearing dark sunglasses, Lu Wei did not realize that she could see.
Jian Yu didn't want to explain to him, so she just said, "It's alright."
Mu Nannan's eyes grew even redder. "Jian Yu, I've been looking at information on some famous ophthalmologists lately, and I've compiled it all. Why don't you contact them and give them a try?"
Jian Yu knew that Mu Nannan was soft-hearted, and felt a little embarrassed for not being direct earlier, but didn't want to explain anymore. "Thank you."
After finishing their coffee, George helped Jane into the car.
Lu Wei had noticed the Lamborghini parked by the roadside long ago. Upon realizing it was Jian Yu's car, he waved even more enthusiastically, "Bye-bye!"
Mu Nannan bent down and looked into the car. "Jian Yu, see you tomorrow."
Jian Yu waved back, "See you tomorrow."
On the way back, Jian Yu went to the mall and bought Mu Nannan a bracelet as a birthday present for tomorrow.
It's the brand that Mu Nannan often wears.
After dinner, Jian Yu started to feel sleepy.
Thinking about going to Mu Nannan's birthday party tomorrow, where Lu Wei's group of friends will also be, Jian Yu doesn't plan to drive such an expensive car again.
I sent Huo Tingzhen a message and went to sleep after learning that she hadn't returned yet.
After Huo Tingzhen returned, he instructed Uncle Li to choose a low-key car for Jian Yu the next day.
Jian Yu woke up early in the morning and saw a black Cayenne parked in the yard through the window.
"......", Jian Yu, how is this being low-key?
Are there no cars that are even more understated?
Huo Tingzhen replied instantly, "[This black is so understated!]"
Jian Yu: "..." This isn't about color!
George told her that the Huo family didn't have any cheap cars.
Jian Yu nodded helplessly; she should have thought of that sooner.
Xu Family---
Xu Niannian sat in the living room, listening to her parents' nagging, "When exactly are you going to win over Huo Qizhen? Didn't we give you some medicine? The edible kind and the inhalant kind, find an opportunity to use it on him!"
Mr. Xu blew on his beard and said, “If you become Huo Qizhen’s wife, what other company would dare to compete with our business? Do you know how big that order was yesterday? Even your uncle couldn’t snatch it from us.
Xu Niannian had been listening to her father nagging for a long time and was getting a little impatient.
After returning to China, Huo Qizhen did not allow the Xu family to take advantage of his influence as before.
The competing companies seemed to know this, and they were ruthless in grabbing business from them.
Losing one or two orders is not a big deal; what Xu's father is worried about is ending up like the Huangxi Group.
Since the Huo family conglomerate stopped cooperating with Huangxi Group, people from Huangxi Group have started to withdraw their investments one after another. In addition, Huang Ling has recently failed in several projects, causing great losses to the company.
If it weren't for the crucial moment when Mrs. Huo injected capital in the name of the Huo family conglomerate, she probably would have been ousted from the stage.
The Huang family's assets were already greater than the Xu family's, and with Old Madam Huo's support, there shouldn't have been such turmoil, but it did happen anyway.
Mr. Xu was still shaken. “I thought that with Yunzhen managing the domestic assets, we could rely on the Huo family business for life. But their power was easily taken back. I used to think that with Huo An’s help, the Huo family business would eventually belong to Yunzhen, so it didn’t matter whether you married Huo Qizhen or not. Now it seems that you have to marry him.”
The Xu family rose to prominence by climbing the social ladder through Xu Que's connections with Huo An, so their foundation was weak.
Since his family members weren't cut out for business, they often had to rely on the Huo family for help.
Without the Huo family, the Xu family would be lucky to maintain its current size.
Xu Niannian knew better than anyone that Huo Qizhen disliked his aunt and cousin and would kick them out sooner or later.
If she doesn't want to lose her current life, she must become Huo Qizhen's wife.
"I'll figure something out."
Xu Niannian left home, went to the mall to buy a gift, and brought it directly to Jian Yu's residence.
Jian Yu was too lazy to see her dagger hidden in her smile, so she simply ignored her.
Xu Niannian was furious, she never expected Jian Yu to be so disrespectful.
They carried their belongings back to the Huo family's old residence.
Upon seeing Grandma Huo, tears instantly streamed down her face. Biting her lower lip, she whispered, "Grandma..."
When Grandma Huo looked up, she saw that her face was covered in tears. "What happened?"
Xu Niannian sniffed. "Didn't Jian Yu win third place in the national piano competition? I bought her a gift to celebrate, but I didn't have time to deliver it the past few days. Today I brought it to her, and she just kicked me out. Is she holding a grudge because I almost hit her hand with the piano lid the other day?"
Old Mrs. Huo's face darkened slightly. As the saying goes, guests are guests, how could Jian Yu turn them away?
She was just a guest staying there temporarily.
What right do they have to expel people?
So many servants in the Huo family just listen to her like that?
"Let me have someone ask what happened first?"
Upon receiving instructions, the housekeeper immediately made a phone call to inquire.
Xu Que happened to come in from outside and saw Xu Niannian silently wiping away her tears. His eyes flickered slightly.
What's wrong with Niannian?
Xu Niannian shook her head and glanced at the gift box.
"It's nothing, I just don't know why Jian Yu doesn't really want to see me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Que immediately understood what was going on. "She doesn't like you going that way. Maybe she's afraid you'll come into contact with Qi Zhen? She doesn't live in her own home but insists on living at Qi Zhen's place. Isn't that because she wants to be close to the source and become the young mistress of the Huo family?"
Xu Que noticed that Old Mrs. Huo's brows and eyes were furrowing more and more tightly.
The housekeeper returned and respectfully reported to Old Madam Huo, "Uncle Li said that the house next door has been transferred to Jian Yu and is now Jian Yu's private residence, so they can't do anything about it."
A group of people collectively lost their composure.
Xu Que stood up. "How is that possible? That's a mansion worth two hundred million. How could it be transferred to an outsider?"
Xu Niannian was completely dumbfounded. The villa her parents lived in was only worth 80 million yuan, and it was a property they had bought in recent years to improve their social status.
Xu Que, "Was it Jian Yu who blackmailed you by threatening to save his life?"
Old Mrs. Huo's face darkened completely. "Have the eldest young master come back to see me tonight."
Huo Qizhen received the call but did not react at all.
This made Xu Niannian, who was eavesdropping by the phone, even more anxious.
Since Xu Que and Huo An got married, she has spent most of her birthdays at the Huo family home.
Every time Huo Tingzhen prepared a gift, Huo Qizhen would ask her to prepare an extra one for her.
The gifts Huo Tingzhen prepared never exceeded 50,000 yuan, and the cheapest one was only a few thousand yuan.
Huo Qizhen had never given her anything separately, let alone such an expensive gift.
What angered Xu Niannian the most was that Jian Yu actually accepted it.
How could she dare to accept it?
