An hour later, Yun Qing came out of the room in a formal dress.
The servants of the Yu family were all stunned when they saw her, unable to tear themselves away from her breathtaking beauty.
The stylist didn't put too much effort into her face, but simply applied a light touch of makeup to make her look natural.
Her pale lips had a subtle sheen, and the barely visible blush under her eyes added a touch of shyness. Bathed in the sunlight, she appeared almost translucent.
Yu Heng sat casually in the living room, staring intently at her fair ankles, his eyes growing darker.
Yun Qing was startled when she saw the person on the sofa.
Why are you leaving get off work so early today? Were you not working diligently?
Yu Heng found it amusing; this little money-grubber was afraid that his mismanagement would cause the Yu Group's stock price to drop.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: he wanted to tease her.
"Ahem, sister-in-law, it's not that I haven't been working hard, it's just that the industry is in a downturn lately, and there really isn't much business to do."
"What did you say? How could this happen? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Yun Qing's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with disbelief.
What's the point of telling you? It'll only add to your troubles.
Yun Qing's eyebrows shot up: "Do you really think I'm such a useless person?"
"Of course not." Yu Heng raised his hands in surrender: "I just think it's a small matter that doesn't need to bother you."
"Hmph!" Yun Qing put her hands on her hips in anger: "How can this be a small matter? Your job is related to my bonuses. Whether I can have endless money depends on you. Do you think it's necessary?"
Yu Heng liked her greedy attitude and how she got emotional because of him. Worried that teasing her any longer would really provoke her, he quickly said, "I was just teasing you. The Yu family is doing very well right now."
"Really?" Yun Qing opened her big, dark eyes, still somewhat doubtful. "I don't quite believe it."
"Of course it's true, you can ask the housekeeper if you don't believe me."
The butler stood aside, watching Yu Heng's unusual behavior towards Yun Qing, and his heart skipped a beat: "Madam, the second young master is right, there is indeed nothing wrong with the Yu family."
"That's good." Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
She endured humiliation and chose the terminally ill Yu He, all for the sake of promotion, wealth, and the death of her husband. Now she has only achieved one step. If the shares in the Yu family cannot guarantee her a life of wealth and honor, then all her hard work over the past three years has been for nothing. This will not do.
However, even though Yu Heng said it was a joke, it still planted a seed of trouble in Yun Qing's heart.
What if, what if the Yu family really falls? What should she do then?
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her mind. Perhaps she should prepare for both possibilities.
"Yun Qing, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Yu Heng couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing." Yun Qing snapped out of her reverie. "I have to go to a banquet, so I might be back a little late tonight."
"Let me see you off." Yu Heng stood up.
"No need." Yun Qing paused. "You should rest more, balance work and rest, and work hard."
Yu Heng smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, it won't delay anything."
What a joke! How could he possibly let Yun Qing go to the banquet alone? His assistant has already investigated and found that the Starry Night Hotel has been booked out tonight by the heir of the Xue Group in Qingyang City.
He also discovered that Xue Jiayu and Yun Qing graduated from the same university and were in the same graduating class.
In this way, things become clear.
It's simply that this man shares the same thoughts as him; his true intentions are not what they seem.
As Yu He's younger brother and Yun Qing's brother-in-law, he had a duty to keep these people with ulterior motives out.
"Let's go, there are still twenty minutes before the banquet officially starts, don't be late."
With that, Yu Heng walked past Yun Qing and headed straight for the door.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yun Qing could only follow silently.
Star Hotel.
Everyone was dressed in their finest attire and arrived at the scene one after another.
At 7:55, two expensive luxury cars drove in from different directions, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Someone immediately started gossiping with their companion: "Who are those people in those two cars? I've never heard of any of them doing so well."
The other person had been working in Baigang City. When he saw the license plate number, it looked familiar. He remembered something, and his eyes widened in an instant.
"My God! Those two actually came too?"
Who is it? Who is it?
People around them had already heard their discussion and gathered around.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, the man became rather smug: "You don't even know this?"
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."
The person being urged remained unhurried, pointing to the Maybach on the left: "That one is the car that President Zhou of Yun'an Group drives most often."
"And the other Maserati? Whose is it?"
"As far as I know, it should be the car of the chairman of the Yu Group."
"The Yu family? Yun'an Group?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
This is going to be interesting, those who know a little about it thought.
As expected, it wasn't long before the people in both cars got off.
On one side is Yun Qing, the protagonist of today, supported by Yu Heng, and on the other side is Zhou Sinian, who has a close relationship with her.
Upon receiving the news, Xue Jiayu, who rushed to pick up Yun Qing, froze with a stiff smile.
"Yun Qing, you're finally here. Everyone has missed you so much."
"Thanks."
Yun Qing only replied with one sentence before turning her gaze to Lu Ting behind her. She stepped forward and hugged her excitedly, saying, "Tingting, I missed you so much."
In fact, she wasn't as excited as she appeared; her actions were merely to ease her embarrassment.
When Xue Jiayu greeted her just now, she didn't recognize who this person was at all.
But seeing the affection in his eyes, she roughly guessed that he must be one of her boyfriends from college.
But good heavens, she had at least forty boyfriends in college, and seven or eight years have passed since then. How could she possibly remember every single one of their names? This is really too much for her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest her head on Lu Ting's shoulder, she quickly asked in a low voice, "Tingting, who was that who greeted me just now?"
Lu Ting, Yun Qing's roommate and one of the planners of the welcome banquet, froze instantly.
At that moment, she wondered if there was something wrong with her ears and couldn't imagine what she had just heard.
Yun Qing actually asked her who Xue Jiayu was. Xue Jiayu was the most handsome guy in the Business Administration Department, second only to Zhou Sinian in their year, and also a rich second-generation.
Of course, he also had a more well-known identity at Baigang University—the twenty-eighth boyfriend of campus beauty Yunqing.
Lu Ting was greatly shocked that Yun Qing didn't remember Xue Jiayu. Back then, in the vote for the man most worthy of Yun Qing, he had come in second place.
His number of fans who support his pairing with his character is second only to Zhou Sinian. Moreover, as everyone knows, the school heartthrob has never received a formal title, which naturally puts him at a disadvantage compared to Xue Jiayu.
