Madam Han covered her slapped face and screamed shrilly, "You hit me? You actually hit me for such a trivial matter?"
The Han family patriarch roared, "It's all because you spoiled him! Where is Yaowen? Bring him to my study right now!"
After saying that, he strode towards the stairwell.
"Father-in-law."
An Lei called out timidly and made way for her son.
The child clung to An Lei's leg and backed away, clearly afraid of her.
The head of the Han family glanced at the mother and son, frowned in dissatisfaction, and felt even more unhappy because they both seemed petty. He then went upstairs.
Not long after they arrived at the study, Han Yaowen came in.
"Dad, you wanted to see me?"
"Go immediately with gifts to apologize to the president of W Group. Whatever he asks for, agree to it. Go."
"oh."
Han Yaowen turned and took two steps, then suddenly turned back: "The president of W Group? Who is this? Do I know him?"
The Han family patriarch glared: "You offended someone and you don't even know who they are? Hmph, it's all your mother's fault for spoiling you. What good is it if you put all your cunning on women!"
"Dad!" Han Yaowen said, his face full of embarrassment.
The head of the Han family said sternly, "The president of W Group is the man of your ex-wife's sister. I don't care how you offended him, you must get his forgiveness and let the Han family get the right to participate in the project, understand?"
Han Yaowen retorted loudly, "That's impossible! How could that cripple be the president of W Group..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang rang out!
The head of the Han family slammed his fist on the table and roared, "I'm not discussing this with you. You must get this done right now, or you can go out and start your own household!"
Han Yaowen's eyes widened in shock. His father was actually going to kick him out?
Why?
Just because he offended that cripple?
Han Yaowen couldn't understand, but seeing his father's fury, he could only agree: "I understand."
After he came downstairs, the butler came over and said, "Young Master, the apology is ready. You may leave at any time."
Han Yaowen was thus forced to go to Gu Garden with an apology.
Meanwhile, in Guyuanli.
Shangguan Wu was busy alone in the pharmacy.
She bought all the perfumery equipment and raw materials she wanted. Next to the medicine cabinet was the perfumery ingredient cabinet, which was neatly arranged according to plant fragrances, animal fragrances and synthetic fragrances, making it easy to access.
Shangguan Wu stayed in the pharmacy for the entire morning.
Gu Yunzhen worked in his study. Anything that Gu Shisan couldn't handle would be sent to his email, and he would issue the orders directly.
The young couple both stayed at home, but they were both busy and didn't bother each other.
It wasn't until Uncle Zhang told them that Han Yaowen had arrived.
Gu Yunzhen: "I won't see you."
Shangguan Wu: "I won't see you."
The two said exactly the same thing, even their tone was similar.
All Uncle Zhang could say was: They truly are a perfect couple!
However, he hesitated before speaking: "Fourth Young Master, Madam is at home. Would you like to go downstairs to see her? Working in the study all the time can cause eye strain. It would be better to go out for a walk."
Gu Yunzhen's voice was cold: "She came out of the pharmacy?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Madam hasn't come out, but you can go in. Work should be balanced with rest. You and your wife haven't rested all morning, so you can take a break and then have lunch."
Gu Yunzhen looked up at him and said, "Go and talk to her."
"Okay."
Uncle Zhang walked out of the study happily.
Meanwhile, outside the gate of Gu Garden, Han Yaowen made a phone call to his father with a dark expression.
"Dad, the people from Gu Garden won't let me in. They obviously don't want to be on good terms with our Han family. Shouldn't we just stop trying to curry favor with them?"
Before his father could speak, Han Yaowen continued, "Even if we can't attend this investment conference, I will find another opportunity to make the Han family compete for the top position among the Changteng families!"
The man who made him swallow his dignity and beg Shangguan Wu?
Absolutely not!
Han Yaowen hung up the phone and coldly ordered the driver, "Drive!"
He felt humiliated and left in anger, putting on quite a show, but in reality, his arrival didn't cause a ripple in Gu Garden.
After a morning of work, Shangguan Wu finally finished making the essential oil.
Just then, Uncle Zhang walked into the pharmacy.
Shangguan Wu carefully stored the essential oil, looked up and saw him, raising an eyebrow and saying, "It's not that Han Yaowen refuses to leave, is it?"
"No," Uncle Zhang quickly shook his head and said, "Fourth Young Master asked me to come and advise you to rest for a while. In fact, no matter how much work you have, you should take appropriate rest."
Shangguan Wu blinked in surprise.
She understood that this was Uncle Zhang's good intention, and smiled slightly: "I'm done with my work. Is he still in the study?"
"The Fourth Young Master is in his study, but my attempts to persuade him to rest have been futile. Only the Fourth Young Master's wife can persuade him," Zhang Bo said with a chuckle.
That's a very nice thing to say.
Shangguan Wu smiled and asked, "Uncle Zhang, where did you buy his black peony? I'd like to buy two more pots."
Uncle Zhang replied, "It wasn't bought by the Fourth Young Master; it was sent by Madam from her estate."
"Mrs?"
Shangguan Wu paused for a second, then realized what was happening and said with a start, "Oh, it was sent by my mother-in-law! No wonder he was so nervous."
Uncle Zhang nodded: "Madam hopes that Fourth Young Master can enjoy gardening."
Unfortunately, it didn't work in my previous life.
Shangguan Wu sighed inwardly. In his previous life, Gu Yunzhen's leg ailment had tormented him for two more years, and his emotions were as unpredictable and capricious as the weather.
She once thought that he was clinging to her more because she treated his leg.
