Chapter 19: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (19)
"My second uncle was so grief-stricken at the time that he said the wrong thing."
"But does Second Uncle know how much damage those words caused me? I don't want to forgive Second Uncle."
Wen Wan felt a great sense of satisfaction seeing Gu Quan's anger but inability to harm her, his veins bulging.
What did she do wrong?
She's just a poor thing who lost her husband and was being scolded by her only relative.
“I didn’t mean to do anything to my second uncle. I’m just Aci’s wife. I married him because I love him, not for the Gu family’s money.”
“If my second uncle doesn’t apologize to me, I will never forgive him.”
Gu Quan: "..."
He was furious.
Who is this Qin Sisi? Does she even deserve an apology from him?
Isn't she just a slut who climbs into bed? I never expected that she would speak to me like this with the help of Assistant Chen and a few directors. Even when Gu Ci was around, she didn't dare to be so rude to me.
But I'm thinking about these projects.
"Sister-in-law, your second uncle was wrong. We are family. Your second uncle shouldn't have said those things last time. They hurt your feelings. Your second uncle formally apologizes to you here."
Wen Wan wiped away her tears. "Although my second uncle's words put a lot of psychological pressure on me, he was right. We are family, and family members don't hold grudges overnight. Since my second uncle apologized to me, I will forgive him. I will pretend I never heard those words from now on."
She is so understanding.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law, for your generosity," Gu Quan said through gritted teeth.
"Then this project?"
Wen Wan: "Leave it with me for now, I'll sign it when I have time."
Gu Quan was a little anxious. "This project really can't wait any longer. If we miss this opportunity, we will lose a lot of revenue, which will be a loss for the entire company."
“Losses? Since my second uncle has said so, I can’t sign it immediately. This is obviously a big project. I need to discuss it with the board members and make a joint decision. Otherwise, if I sign the project and lose money, I will really be letting Aci down. How will I explain it to Aci when he comes back?”
Wen Wan was so frightened that she took a step back.
"But this project has a very good prospect, and it's a sure thing. Don't you trust your second uncle, sister-in-law?"
"Of course I believe in my second uncle! Since he says it's a sure thing, the board members certainly won't object, right? After all, if the company makes money, the board members will also make money. So, second uncle, don't worry, please don't worry. I'll have the board members discuss this project at the next board meeting."
I'm not going to sign it, so what?!
I'll make you so angry, you old bastard.
"But projects don't wait for anyone. If they are delayed any longer, the project will lose its value."
Gu Quan felt that his patience was almost exhausted.
How could he not be anxious? Those board members were holding his project back; it would be a miracle if they agreed. He thought Qin Sisi wouldn't understand these intricacies, but who would have thought that while Qin Sisi might not understand, she was also completely impervious to reason?
"Then I'll call Assistant Chen and ask him to come and take a look. Surely the project won't lose its value if we wait a few hours?"
Gu Quan: "..."
He realized that Qin Sisi had done this on purpose and must have already spoken with Assistant Chen.
So he left angrily with a cold face.
Wen Wan feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Second Uncle, why are you leaving already? Don't worry! Assistant Chen definitely won't give up on this money-making project! Wait a minute! I'll call Assistant Chen right away!"
After watching Gu Quan's car drive away, Wen Wan smiled and said to the nanny beside her.
"close the door."
"If my second uncle comes looking for me in the future, just say I'm not here, as long as the reason is reasonable."
Is this old man trying to appeal to her family ties?
Please, are they even that close?
Moreover, as a vicious relative destined to be sent to prison, cooperating with him is pointless and not a good idea. Wen Wan isn't stupid.
