Chapter 392: Ungrateful
The night is dark.
The bar was bustling with people, and men and women were swaying on the dance floor.
Zheng Weidong was sitting alone in a booth, with a pile of wine bottles on the coffee table. He was shaking the glass in his hand.
He looked up and saw the person coming, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey, Miss Xiang is here? Why, my parents sacrificed their dignity to beg you, and you still want to show off in front of me?"
His parents had already told him what happened in the evening.
The Zheng family is indeed more wealthy than the Xiang family, but Xiang Shaoan is famous for her beauty and excellence. Her parents watched her grow up, and this time, because of Zhao Yuanyuan's matter, the old couple went to apologize to the Xiang family in a humble manner.
What's the result?
They still didn’t agree!
After all, he is the young master of a wealthy family, and he has been raised like the center of attention. As the future heir of the Zheng family, it is natural that he would feel uncomfortable being humiliated like this.
Xiang Shaoan was not angry. She took off her coat, revealing the tight skirt underneath. Under the light and shadow, the sequins on the clothes glowed like stars, and coupled with the girlish makeup on her face, she looked particularly charming.
She sat next to him, holding his arm and rocking him gently.
"Brother Dong, are you angry?"
In the end, Zheng Weidong did not pull his arm out. He snorted coldly and said nothing.
Zheng Weidong was voted as the campus idol of Jiangnan University when he was just a freshman. He has an absolutely handsome face, but his childishness and arrogance somewhat undermine it.
Xiang Shaoan bit his lip: "You...really don't want to pay attention to me?"
She almost pressed her whole body against him.
Any man would be moved by a gentle and obedient girl who is so humble.
Zheng Weidong was no exception, and his tone softened eventually.
"An An, I really don't know what you are thinking?"
"Brother Dong, didn't I explain to you that if we get engaged now, Ye Jinqian will be tightly controlled by Zhao Yuanyuan. Ye Jinqian is now the leader of the biotechnology company that Zhong and Ji cooperated with. Just think about it, if we win over such a person, how much will the Xiang family gain? If the Xiang family gains, will the Zheng family be left out?"
He listened and pondered at the same time. His mind was originally confused due to drinking, but now it was clearer.
"An An, are you saying that Ye Jinqian can help us?"
"Of course!" Xiang Shaoan sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "Brother Dong, your uncle and aunt do have only you as their son, but your uncle has three sons. The Zheng Group was founded by Grandpa Zheng. Before the successor is decided, aren't you afraid that someone else will take it away?"
She paused and continued, "If the two of us can hook up with Ye Jinqian, it means we can cooperate with the Zhong and Ji families!"
Zheng Weidong's eyes lit up: "An An, you are right!"
If the Zheng family can team up with the two richest families, they can basically walk around the imperial capital with ease.
Xiang Shaoan rolled his eyes, stood up and sat on him, lifted his chin with one hand and kissed him gently, "I know you love me, but our engagement must be delayed. I think Dong Ge understands what I mean!"
Zheng Weidong knew what was going on, so he put his arm around her waist and kissed her fiercely: "Don't worry, An'an, for the sake of our plan, I'll go back and tell my parents to postpone the engagement!"
"Thank you, Brother Dong!"

The news that the Zheng and Xiang families had canceled their marriage began to spread widely.
The two families also held a special press conference, saying that the two children are still young and they are not considering engagement for the time being, and it has nothing to do with anyone.
But the rumors in school cannot be stopped.
No one dared to say it to Zhao Yuanyuan openly, but they couldn't help but talk about it behind her back.
A fat girl, who is hanging out with Ye Jinqian, and even asks Ye Jinmo to help speak for her, how amazing is that!
Zhao Yuanyuan had no intention of caring about these things. During this period of time, she had been running around looking for a place to settle down in an orphanage.
Ye Jinqian had some connections and found a yard on the outskirts of the city near a primary school.
The yard has a good environment and convenient transportation.
She plans to submit materials with the dean and apply here.
Originally, the site selection for the welfare home was done by the relevant departments, but with the Xiang family getting involved, things became difficult to handle.
So after much thought, I decided to find a suitable location first and make sure it can be rented before submitting the application.
Ye Jinqian helped prepare the application materials.
When Zhao Yuanyuan and the dean found the department office, Xiang Shaoan was sipping tea.
Director Ma was smiling at his desk.
"Miss Xiang, how is this tea? Is it tasty?"
Xiang Shaoan nodded: "Director Ma's tea is naturally the best."
Zhao Yuanyuan's expression changed immediately and she was ready to turn around and leave.
"Yuanyuan, do you have something to ask Director Ma?"
Director Ma didn’t know Zhao Yuanyuan, but he could sense that there was a discord between the two.
"Is it about the welfare home?"
The dean tugged at Zhao Yuanyuan's sleeve and motioned for her to come in.
"It's like this, Director Ma. We have found a yard that is very close to the school and has convenient transportation. So we want to apply to change the address of the welfare home to here. The rental fee is also very cheap..."
Before she could finish, Director Ma slammed the table.
"I still don't know, since when has the location of a public welfare home been decided by a mere director?"
This one sentence completely shut the dean up.
Zhao Yuanyuan suppressed her anger and said, "Director Ma, it's not a decision. It's just that the children haven't been resettled for more than a week since the orphanage was demolished. We are also making this suggestion out of kindness..."
"No placement?" Director Ma raised his eyebrows and sneered, "No placement or you disobeyed orders?"
As he spoke, he stood beside Xiang Shaoan and said, "Miss Xiang told me that the Xiang family is willing to fully subsidize the welfare home. Medical care, education, and infrastructure will all be funded by the Xiang family. It's you who are ungrateful and refuse to go."
"If something happens to the children's safety, can you afford the consequences?"
Zhao Yuanyuan clenched her fists. "Safety issues? Wouldn't it be a safety issue if we moved the welfare home into a mental hospital?"
Xiang Shaoan raised his eyes and said, "Yuanyuan, what you said is not true. Although the new building is close to the mental hospital, there is a wall separating them."
Zhao Yuanyuan held her throbbing forehead and said, "The courtyard wall? The iron sheet with the big hole in it? The children are still young, this is a huge safety hazard!"
Director Ma looked impatient: "Why are you talking to Miss Xiang?"
Xiang Shaoan stood up slowly and smiled faintly: "Director Ma, I came here today with sincerity. As long as the welfare home moves over, all expenses will be borne by the Xiang family. As for other places, I'm sorry, the Xiang family may consider withdrawing their investment."
Upon hearing this, Director Ma became anxious.
The government has allocated two million yuan just to rebuild the welfare home. If the Xiang family contributes the money, wouldn't the two million yuan go directly into his pocket?
If it is destroyed by the person in front of me, the money that is about to be obtained will fly away!
"Miss Xiang, don't worry. We will definitely fulfill the Xiang family's good intentions!"
