Chapter 83 Quarrel
After the conversation, she closed the suitcase and prepared to go downstairs with it. The weight in her hands suddenly disappeared. Ji Yanxing snatched the suitcase from her and carried it downstairs before returning it to her.
Yu Nian thanked him and pushed the box towards the parking lot.
The wind outside was very strong, blowing her long hair into a mess. Ji Yanxing stared at her slender and thin back until she disappeared at the end of his sight.

Yu Nianzhen had a client in City B and they had an appointment to meet at three in the afternoon. After getting off the high-speed train, she went directly to Yu’s old house.
It was dinner time, and when Mr. Yu saw her coming, he was a little surprised, "Have you eaten?"
"No," Yu Nian looked at the huge dining table where only Grandpa was sitting alone, and naturally pulled out a chair and sat opposite him, "I'll have dinner with Grandpa, and ask you something by the way."
Yu Lao narrowed his cloudy eyes and snorted coldly: "You have something to ask me, so why not come and have a meal with me?"
"Wow, Grandpa is so smart, he can guess this."
Mr. Yu: “…”
The servant brought Yu Nian a set of bowls and chopsticks and served her a bowl of rice. After thanking him, Yu Nian ate her meal seriously and praised which dish was cooked well.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Mr. Yu looked at her with a look of relief in his eyes. "What do you want from me?"
"Grandpa, how much cooperation do our family have with the Ji family at present?" Yu Nian asked casually while eating.
Old Yu narrowed his eyes again, "Why are you asking this?"
Yu Nian ate half full and put down his chopsticks. "I want to know if the Yu family can leave the Ji family at the moment?"
Yu Lao's pupils were shocked. "What do you mean?"
"If I want to divorce, how much loss will the Yu Group suffer?"
Old Yu stared at her, his eyes cloudy and shrewd. Yu Nian looked at him without avoiding or avoiding.
After a long time, an old voice slowly sounded: "Come with me."
Yu Nian was startled, and followed Grandpa Yu to the study on the second floor.
Yu Nian didn't understand business matters, but she knew vaguely that the Yu family had been declining in recent years. Her father and uncle had performed just fine, and the family was all supported by her grandfather. Yu Xiang had now taken over part of the work, but she was too young after all.
It can be said that in the exchange of interests between the Yu family and the Ji family, the Yu family was aiming above its station.
However, even though she had been mentally prepared, Yu Nian had never expected that Ji Yanxing had helped the Yu family so much in the past few years, but he had never told her anything.
"Just three hours ago, Yu and Ji signed an agreement," said Old Yu, with a sad and sharp look in his eyes. "If Ji withdraws his investment, all projects will have to stop. No one can afford this project, and no one is willing to give Yu so much profit."
He sighed and said earnestly, "Niannian, I don't want to force you. You said you didn't want to join the company, and I was angry but I didn't force you. Yu Yin wanted to join the entertainment industry, so I let her go. You know your brother's personality. In the entire Yu family, only your sister can be used, but she is still young after all. At my age, how many more years can I hold on? Can I hold on until Xiangxiang grows up to control the entire Yu family?"
Old Man Yu's earnest words fell into Yu Nian's ears, causing his fingers hanging by his side to tremble uncontrollably, and he clenched them into fists.
She could naturally tell that these words were an emotional appeal, but they were not all empty words.
Compared with other families, Mr. Yu was kind to his descendants. He respected their wishes as much as possible and was still holding on at an old age, not wanting to see the business that he and his grandmother had worked so hard to build ruined in his hands.
Apart from these, more importantly, he had to provide a solid and strong backing for the descendants of the Yu family.
Old Master Yu naturally didn't want to force her. He looked at Yu Nian who was sitting opposite the desk. This was his first granddaughter, and he had held her in his arms when he was young and couldn't let her go. He remembered that she was the most naughty and willful when she was a child, but also the most caring, and often made him and her grandmother very happy.
He also wanted to let his granddaughter do what she wanted, but being in this position, he always had a lot to consider, and only he could be the bad guy.
"Nian Nian," Old Master Yu looked at her, "I know you are not saying these things to me just because you had a quarrel with Yan Xing."
He knew his granddaughter well. She only reported good news and not bad news, and did not want to make her family worry. If she did not really have a hard time, she would not have asked him this.
Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
"Grandpa is sorry for you, I am so useless,"
Old Yu sighed and said, “Grandpa doesn’t want to force you. If you really can’t make ends meet, as long as you discuss it with Yanhang and it won’t delay the progress of the original project, I’ll leave the rest up to you.” This was the biggest concession he could make.
Yu Nian's nose was sore at Yu Lao's words, and his voice was a little choked: "Grandpa, I will think about it seriously again, and I will not let the interests of the Yu family be damaged."
-
After leaving the old house, Yu Nian rushed to the place where he had an appointment with the client.
After finishing her work, she came out of the coffee shop and looked at her watch. It was past five o'clock, so she sent a text message to He Manlian: [I'm in City B, and will be home for dinner tonight.]
He Manlian was happy to say: [I will cook for you tonight and make your favorite spareribs.]
Yu Nian: [Okay]
There are some things that can be told to Grandpa, but Ms. He must not be told. Otherwise, given He Manlian's personality, she will definitely feel extremely guilty, and even if it means sacrificing the Yu family, she must be set free.
But she couldn't be so selfish. She was not the only one in the Yu family, and she didn't have the mental strength to be the sinner of the entire family.
Yesterday she lightly tested his attitude, just mentioned breaking up, and he said in a tone that it was absolutely impossible... Just looking at his firm attitude, she thought he loved her very much.
The sunset in the evening is like salted duck egg yolk, alternating between red and orange, dyeing half the sky.
Yu Nian was ready to take a taxi back, but it was difficult to get there at this time, so she was about to call the driver at home. She was looking for a number in her address book when someone suddenly called her.
“Nian Nian?” An SUV slowly stopped in front of her, the window was lowered, and Lawrence Lu’s face was revealed.
Yu Nian was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Summer vacation, I've been in City B during this time," Lawrence Lu raised his eyebrows, "How about you?"
"I just finished meeting with a client and was about to go home."
"I just want to go home too, let's get in the car." Yu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Although Yu Nian did not listen to everything Ji Yanxing said before he went abroad, she was still concerned about his excessive possessiveness, so she rarely contacted Lu Yuchen after that. Also, because she was well-known in the industry, she no longer needed friends' introductions to get cases.
But some friends are like this. Even if they haven't been in touch for a long time, they can still chat easily when they meet. Lu Yuchen is obviously such a person. Unlike Ji Yanxing, who appears gentle but is actually a bandit, Lu Yuchen is a person as gentle as jade. He speaks humorously and has a strong sense of boundaries and will not cross the line to pry into her private affairs.
