Chapter 128 It's no big deal
Yun Zhaozhao hadn't heard any of this news, and her expression changed slightly: "When did this happen?"
Wen Jingyu mentioned a date, which was a few days ago, the day Pei Jiuyan moved into her house.
Therefore, Pei Jiuyan insisted on moving to her place not only because she was about to give birth, but also because she was worried about something happening to her.
"You don't know? Then it must be fake."
Seeing her surprised look, Wen Jingyu said nonchalantly that he had heard this news from someone while having dinner with a second-generation rich kid.
What else did you hear?
Yun Zhaozhao asked.
Seeing her interest, Wen Jingyu quickly said, "Right away, I'll ask for you."
He has many friends and a lot of information, and because he's in the entertainment industry, he's come into contact with people from all walks of life.
Soon, he found out the latest news: "I heard they're going to target your current project. That's what's going on publicly. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. You know, the Chen, Bo, and Xu families didn't get rich in a very honorable way."
He couldn't find out what methods were used.
Yun Zhaozhao's expression turned somewhat cold. Both projects had gone very smoothly without any problems, and she had assumed they were government projects, hence the rapid progress. However, it was highly likely that Pei Jiuyan had intervened behind the scenes.
"Can you find out which people they are?"
Yun Zhaozhao asked again.
Wen Jingyu now regretted gossiping with her. He originally thought she was in the know, but it turned out she knew nothing. Telling her these things would only increase her workload, and if Zhou Xiao found out, she would definitely scold her to death.
"Ancestor, please stop asking, okay? I wouldn't have told you if I knew you didn't know."
“Whale, now that I’ve taken over the Yun family, I need to be aware of every little thing that happens.”
This incident also reminded her that she was too out of touch with the world, which was related to her lack of contact with others. Apart from Wen Jingyu and Zhou Xiao, she rarely interacted with people in other circles.
It seems she'll have to pick up her social life again after the baby is born.
Wen Jingyu couldn't refuse her, so he could only help her inquire further. The final result was the Chen family, the Liu family, and the Gong family. These three families weren't considered top-tier wealthy families, but they had one thing in common: their rise to power wasn't exactly honorable. The Liu family and the Gong family, in particular, were the nouveau riche type—wealthy but extremely difficult to integrate into social circles.
The elite circles in the capital city have their own set of rules; it's not simply a matter of having money to get in.
While their alliance may seem like they want to get a share of the profits, we need to think carefully about who's behind them.
Yun Zhaozhao was no longer as naive as before. After thinking about it carefully, she could roughly guess who was behind the three families.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Wen Jingyu sighed: "Zhaozhao, why did you choose this kind of life? You weren't like this before."
Yun Zhaozhao used to be very carefree; she was the most unrestrained of the three.
“You have your older brother, but I only have myself.”
Yun Zhaozhao's words left Wen Jingyu completely speechless.
He had a smooth and successful career in the entertainment industry, and no one dared to touch him, largely because he was the second young master of the Wen family.
He suddenly understood why Yun Zhaozhao was working so hard. Unbeknownst to them, their little princess, whom they had cherished, had grown up. She wanted to grow into a towering tree, not a little flower that needed to be protected.
"I'll try to find out more for you, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any new information. But you still shouldn't push yourself too hard; your health is the most important thing."
Wen Jingyu offered words of comfort.
While other women gain tens of kilograms during pregnancy, Yun Zhaozhao not only didn't gain weight, but actually seemed to lose a lot of weight.
After the event ended, Pei Jiuyan came to pick up Yun Zhaozhao immediately.
"Having Wen Jingyu as our spokesperson is a good idea; Secretary Zhang said it's even trending on social media."
It was rare for Pei Jiuyan to praise Wen Jingyu like this; it would have been absolutely impossible for her to do so in the past.
"Pei Jiuyan, has anything happened recently? Think it over before you speak."
Yun Zhaozhao asked.
Pei Jiuyan sensed something was off about the tone. After thinking carefully, he shook his head and said, "No!"
Are you sure?
Yun Zhaozhao's expression was somewhat unfriendly. Pei Jiuyan started lying again: "Didn't Chen Boxu and the others cause you any trouble?"
"You mean this?"
Pei Jiuyan suddenly realized, "I know about their affairs, but it doesn't affect me at all."
Seeing Yun Zhaozhao's doubtful expression, Pei Jiuyan quickly said, "I'm telling the truth. I knew about it as early as when they formed the alliance."
"Don't worry, it really won't affect me. In a few days, they'll start fighting amongst themselves."
Pei Jiuyan has a powerful information network. Some of his enemies are specifically monitored by people, and he knows about the slightest movement from them.
He knew about the alliance between the three families a long time ago, and he also knew who was behind it.
"It was Fu Shangluo who did this."
"It seems the Fu family line will come to an abrupt end with this generation."
Pei Jiuyan made no attempt to hide her schadenfreude.
He might not be as good as Fu Shangluo in academics, but when it comes to underhanded tactics, Fu Shangluo is no match for him.
Seeing that he had already made plans, Yun Zhaozhao felt a little relieved, but still reminded him, "Don't let things go wrong."
"Don't worry, it can't be flipped."
Pei Jiuyan belatedly realized what she was saying after she finished speaking: "Zhaozhao, are you worried about me?"
"...I'm worried about the cooperation between our two companies. The Yun family has made a huge investment this time."
Yun Zhaozhao turned her face away and said.
"I know, don't worry, the Yun family won't lose money. Moreover, after this project, the Yun family's image will also be improved, which will be beneficial to the Yun family's transformation."
He had considered all aspects for the Yun family.
Cooperating with the Yun family would not benefit the Pei family, but he still agreed without thinking. Outsiders said he had lost his mind and was infatuated with a woman.
And that is indeed the case!
So what? He can give his things to whomever he wants.
"Don't hide it from me anymore."
Yun Zhaozhao spoke up.
She didn't want to be kept in the dark like before. She needed to know what was happening outside and what Pei Jiuyan had done, whether good or bad.
"OK!"
Pei Jiuyan readily agreed and did not forget to explain, "I didn't mean to hide this from you. In my opinion, it's not a big deal."
"Oh, by the way, I also found some things for Fu Shangluo to do. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
Hearing his sarcastic remarks, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but kick him: "Speak properly."
"good!"
Pei Jiuyan resumed her serious demeanor.
What trouble did you cause him?
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask.
