Lin Ziyan glanced at Mayor Yi's explanation in the newspaper, her eyes flashing.
Yunying wouldn't easily hand over the home she'd built up over many years. She could do without this man; if she didn't have him in her heart, life would be much easier.
She is a smart woman. Mayor Yi is currently only in a state of flux, and there is still room to pull him back.
Everything she's doing now is no longer for this man, but for her children.
She comes from a distinguished family, so of course she understands the importance of family tradition and reputation.
If the descendants of the Yun family want to have something to rely on, then aligning themselves with the Yi family is the only option.
Having money isn't enough now; you also need power, otherwise it will be very difficult for her children to integrate into Beijing's elite circles in the future.
"Men with money and power will turn bad," the chubby girl murmured.
Fangjie, "Wrong, women can do that too."
The chubby girl was speechless...
Her gaze towards Fang Jie became more complicated. "Brother Song is doing very well..."
In terms of wealth now, Fang Jie's net worth may have already surpassed Song Yi's.
However, only the three people in the office know this right now.
To the outside world, all people know is that Hairun has a few branches in China, and its turnover can be roughly calculated.
However, the profits from domestic branches are not the main source of income; the main source is the profits from overseas markets.
"He's a good person, and I haven't said I'd look for anyone else. A woman needs to constantly improve herself, and as for the future, we'll see how things go," Fang said quietly.
The chubby girl nodded thoughtfully.
Isn't Madam Ke Yi formidable? She couldn't understand it.
“Sometimes when you’re too compliant, people forget that you also have a thorn in your side and your claws,” Lin Ziyan said calmly, as if she could see through her thoughts.
Everything about Yumei is currently shrouded in mystery, and Mayor Yi has no way of finding out anything.
…
It was a month later when Yunying brought Yiting back to Teng City.
The day after she returned, Su Nan and her mother visited her.
Yi Ting seemed like a completely different person.
Yunying asked the teacher to tutor Yiting. After greeting Su Nan and the others in the living room, she hurriedly went to class.
"Lanlan, please sit down and have some tea. This was collected by a friend of the old man. It's ancient tree tea." Yunying's eyebrows relaxed and her eyes softened when she saw them.
After being abroad for a few months, her complexion was much better than before.
After leaving the Yi family's affairs alone, Yun Ying felt much more at ease and had more free time.
Yumei is doing very well, and her younger brother is quite promising with strong execution skills.
"Sakura, you look like you've been rejuvenated." Madam Su raised an eyebrow, happy for her friend.
Su Nan nodded in agreement, "Aunt Yun is radiant, with a kind of widowed beauty..."
"Nannan, don't talk nonsense." Madam Su almost stepped forward to cover her daughter's mouth.
That's so rude! How can you curse someone?
Yunying burst out laughing, looking at her friend with envy.
"Lanlan, I really want to take your daughter away from me."
"Nannan's praise is very apt."
Su Nan's eyes sparkled with a smile. This time, she didn't reply but sat quietly and listened to their conversation.
Mrs. Su waved her hand and gave her daughter a disdainful look.
"She speaks without thinking; she'll definitely suffer for it later."
Yunying shook her head, disagreeing with her friend's statement.
Times have changed, and women can now stand on their own and support a family.
She knew her friend had come to try and reconcile them.
When Yunying thought of the intimate photos she had received, it felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife, and blood was flowing incessantly.
She originally planned to send her daughter back and then immediately set off again.
Su Nan glanced at her mother, then stood up. "Aunt Yun, I'm going for a walk in the garden. I just saw the koi swimming happily in the pond..."
Yunying nodded and chatted with her friend for a few more minutes.
Whenever her friends mentioned the Yi family, Yunying would subconsciously change the subject.
She knows everything, and she knows she can't get a divorce.
Her family is her Achilles' heel.
Yun Ying sipped her tea slowly with a calm expression.
She's coming back to open a cosmetics shop, which will put her in direct competition with the Su family.
"Did you tell Grandpa Su what I told you on the phone before?" Yun Ying couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Lan nodded, "The Lin family and the Su family have always been rivals, but that doesn't affect the relationship between the two families."
“Even if it’s not you cooperating with the Lin family, it will be someone else.”
"Okay, that's good. The shop won't be on the old street; I'll choose another location." Yun Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Lin Ziyan said, the Su family wouldn't react too much.
The Lin family's formulas are mostly for skin and hair care, with cosmetics making up only a small portion.
The Su family mainly deals in cosmetics such as face powder.
Yunying was preoccupied with the matter of the rouge shop and had no interest in anything else.
Jiang Lan, "Are you really just going to let things go with Lao Yi like this?"
"Old Su hasn't been answering Old Yi's calls lately, and the cooperation with the Yi family has also stopped."
Yun Ying nodded; she knew some of these things.
Fujishi's social circle is so small; she doesn't want to know, but people will whisper in her ear.
Many people mocked and made sarcastic remarks, while others thought the Su family wouldn't take advantage of the situation.
"Does the rouge shop run by the Lin family still use its old name?" Jiang Lan saw her expression and knew that she already knew, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Yes, it's still called Lin Yan Pavilion." Yun Ying's expression was calm, and she was grateful to the Su family.
In the garden,
The temperature difference between day and night in Teng City is significant; it feels like summer at midday and like winter in the morning.
Su Nan, wearing a thin knitted top and a horse-face skirt, sat on a stone bench and fed the fish.
With Yi Lanying not around, she and her mother had already anticipated that it would be boring.
Now, all I can do is go down to the pond to feed the fish.
A dark shadow loomed down, and Su Nan lazily turned her head to look.
A faint, sweet orange scent wafts up to your nose.
Yi Ting stood not far from her, her gaze indifferent, vaguely resembling Aunt Yun.
"I went too far with what happened at Fuyuan last time, but thankfully I didn't ruin Fuyuan's reputation," Yi Ting said in a low, sincere voice.
Su Nan frowned slightly and subtly sized her up.
Yi Ting is like a completely different person.
"I hope we can get along peacefully in the future." Yi Ting saw the surprise in her eyes, shrugged, and walked over to sit on the stone bench next to her.
After a half-hour class, she has a ten-minute break.
Su Nan didn't say anything, and continued to scatter bait to feed the fish.
After a while, just as Yi Ting was about to get up and leave, Su Nan suddenly spoke.
"Your sister is coming back next week, let her take you to a dinner party at Su Garden!"
Yi Ting pursed her lips and nodded.
Su Nan never invited her to dinner parties; she could only watch enviously as they were served at home.
Even in Fujishi, there are different social circles.
Yi Ting's former friends were not in the same social circle as them, while her sister's friends were almost all high-achieving students from well-to-do families.
Su Nan got up and left, thinking to herself that they should have finished talking by now.
Yi Ting watched her retreating figure with a complex expression.
I used to be too impulsive and acted without thinking.
Before she knew it, she had also lifted her foot to follow.
Before I even stepped into the living room, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Yi Ting!"
She turned her head and saw the person who had come in, their gaze ambiguous.
"Yi Ting, is your mother back?"
