Zhang Tingyu watched Qiu Wen's departing figure, feeling a sense of unease.
A servant boy spoke up, "Young master, young master..."
Zhang Tingyu snapped out of his daze: "What is it?"
"Young master, now that Miss Qiu is alright, we can head back now."
Zhang Tingyu nodded: "Alright, let's go!"
Zhang Tingyu's act of rescuing the beauty can hardly be considered a heroic rescue, since the beauty seemed to have been unharmed without him.
After finishing these tasks, he said goodbye to the manager of Wu's Department Store and left.
Zhang Tingyu was handsome and had an outstanding demeanor, but one thing was that he was just someone casually introduced by the manager of Wu's Department Store, and no one took him seriously. He left before anyone knew.
After all, none of the people attending this banquet today know Zhang Tingyu.
Therefore, Zhang Tingyu was able to easily escape and leave.
As Zhang Tingyu left, Qiu Wen took Luo Xue back home.
Just then, Qiu Yun finished her work and came over.
Qiu Yun was startled when she saw Qiu Wen.
What are you doing here?
Looking at Qiu Yun's expression, Qiu Wen knew that she was not wronged!
"What do you mean by that, Second Sister? Does that mean I shouldn't be here?"
Qiu Yun said somewhat nervously, "No, I'm just a little surprised. Didn't you go to change your clothes, big sister?"
Qiu Wen said, "The weather is nice today. My clothes are dry before I even got back to the courtyard. What, does Second Sister want me to change my clothes?"
Qiu Yun said, "No, big sister, your outfit is very beautiful."
Qiu Wen smiled and said, "That's more like it. I dressed up specially for my second sister today, hoping she would feel my blessings. What, didn't my second sister receive them?"
Qiu Yun smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "I received it, thank you very much, big sister."
Qiu Wen then said, "By the way, Second Sister, I heard that you and Cousin An from the Zhang family are quite close?"
Alarm bells rang in Qiu Yun's mind. Why was she asking this? Could it be that she had discovered something? Impossible. She had only given a hint. It was all done by Zhang An. He was even the one who bribed the maids in the mansion to splash water on Qiu Wen. It had nothing to do with her.
Qiu Yun asked, "Why is elder sister asking this?"
Qiu Wen said, "It's nothing, I just think that my second sister and cousin An from the Zhang family should get along quite well."
Zhang An, an ignorant and incompetent man, asked, "What do you mean by that, elder sister?"
Qiu Wen didn't answer her question. Instead, she said, "Second sister, if the Han family had the opportunity to curry favor with a more powerful family, would they still want a merchant's daughter like you? After all, our Qiu family isn't anything special. You also said that the eldest son of the Han family has a limitless future. Do you think he's sincere towards you? After all, you don't seem to be a stunning beauty. What do you think, second sister?"
Qiu Wen doesn't have a problem with recognizing faces, but what Qiu Yun did was really disgusting, so don't blame her for using this to disgust her.
Qiu Yun was indeed very angry.
"You...you..."
Qiu Wen said, "Second sister is very happy today, so please don't be angry. I used to plan to sever ties with you and wipe the slate clean, but now it seems you don't want to. Maybe I should find you something to do?"
Qiu Yun: "How dare you..."
"What do I have to be afraid of, Qiu Yun? You just wait and see, I'll keep track of today's debt."
Qiu Yun was a little scared. She was just a young lady from a sheltered family. She had bad intentions, but she was not very brave. Pushing her into the water was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Now, although she was scheming against her, she knew that she was just being cunning.
Qiu Wen's methods must be extraordinary to have built such a large business; she was truly afraid.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Qiu Wen smiled and whispered in Miss Qiu's ear, "Second sister, why don't you guess?"
Qiu Yun was speechless.
Qiu Wen added, "I wish my second sister could always be as happy as she is today. I won't stay any longer today. Second sister, please take good care of yourself."
After saying that, he said to Luoxue, "Luoxue, let's go!"
"Yes, Miss."
Qiu Wen left gracefully, but Qiu Yun was genuinely frightened. Qiu Wen had never been one to hold grudges before, and besides, in business, harmony is key to making money, so others only saw her as having a good temper.
However, she was a woman who had been a CEO. When she really got serious, she exuded an aura of dominance. Qiu Yun was just a young lady who never ventured beyond her own backyard, so it was no wonder she was frightened.
As soon as Luo Xue left the Qiu residence, she started laughing.
"Miss, did you see the Second Miss's face just now? It was so satisfying! The Second Miss is really wicked. If they had really succeeded, Miss would have been finished."
Qiu Wen also knows that things are not easy today. She is indeed capable, but this is ancient times. She can't use her abilities. She can't completely sever her ties with the Qiu family. Even now, she can't say that she is completely free.
Luo Xue was right. If they succeeded today, she couldn't say what she would do. After all, marrying Zhang An was impossible.
“I will settle this matter with them naturally. Since they dared to scheme against me, they should be prepared to be retaliated against.”
She dared not touch the Qiu family's business, but she could still find some work for the Zhang family, so that Zhang An wouldn't be too idle and would have time to scheme against her.
As for Qiu Yun, she'll wait and see; she'll get her comeuppance later.
Upon hearing Qiu Wen's words, Luo Xue immediately looked at Qiu Wen with starry eyes, thinking how incredibly domineering the young lady was.
