Liu Mingchuan didn't want to have anything to do with this group anymore. He became famous at a young age and was too arrogant, offending many people. Now that he was old, he was tricked by his wife and apprentice, went through imprisonment, and then got cancer, but fortunately he was cured.
Now, he has successfully undergone cancer surgery, but still needs to take medication. In his view, love, hate, and grudges are no longer important; what matters is drawing a line between himself and the past and looking to the future.
Mandarin treated Liu Mingchuan well, even better than Wang Cainian. After all, Liu Mingchuan brought his own yeast component, so it was only right that Chu Yu give him a certain number of original shares.
The house Liu Mingchuan lives in now was bought by Chu Yu. He has a lot of money in his account, works a 9-to-5 job with weekends off, and has access to a gym and lounge when he's tired. Liu Mingchuan is quite content. As long as Fu Yaning doesn't bother him, Liu Mingchuan never wants to see her again in his life.
Fu Yaning and Meng Hongrong now live in the compound, and they see the Dai family all the time. Meng Hongrong's rank is much lower than Dai Xueyi's, and they are not from the same faction. However, Meng Hongrong is good at currying favor and has gotten close to Dai Xueyi's peers. It seems that he can also hang around in front of Dai Xueyi.
When Zhou Yun returned home, she saw Fu Yaning walking towards her from afar and couldn't help but snort. Meng Hongrong's first wife was Zhou Yun's old classmate. Meng Hongrong was able to make his fortune thanks to the support of his first wife's family. But later, when Meng Hongrong became successful, he no longer needed his wife's family's connections, so he kicked his first wife to the curb and got together with this Fu Yaning.
Zhou Yun had also heard about Liu Mingchuan's affairs. She didn't know Liu Mingchuan well enough to draw any conclusions, but she saw Fu Yaning all the time and knew what kind of person Fu Yaning was.
"Sister Zhou, you're back?" Fu Yaning was wearing a white knitted dress, her hair was loose on one side, and she had a strangely worldly look.
Zhou Yun ignored her and snorted an "Mmm" through her nose.
"Hey, Sister Zhou, I heard that Mandarin is owned by your daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Yun was quite alert and immediately looked at her, "Why are you asking this?"
Fu Yaning smiled apologetically, "I didn't mean anything by it. I also run a clothing store and sell skincare products, so I'm in the same industry as your daughter-in-law. Everyone in our industry knows that Mandarin is a leader in the field. I heard her cosmetics are about to be launched. When that happens, our Yaning will definitely be no match for Mandarin. After all, we've been working hard to build our business, and we don't have any powerful connections to support us. Unlike her, she's gotten to where she is today at such a young age just by relying on connections. Sister Zhou, I didn't mean anything by it. I just really envy her for having such a good mother-in-law like you..."
Zhou Yun may seem difficult to get along with, but she's more protective of her own people than anyone else.
She didn't acknowledge Chu Yu, but now that she has, Chu Yu is family, and she can't let outsiders mock her own family.
Not to mention a vixen like Fu Yaning!
"You still don't have a powerful backer?" Zhou Yun laughed. "You've been hooking up with Meng Hongrong for a long time now, sleeping with him for so many years, and he hasn't pulled any strings for you? He's really no good! If I were you, I definitely wouldn't let him go. If he doesn't put in some effort, wouldn't you be getting nothing in return? You can't do a losing proposition like that!"
After Zhou Yun finished speaking, she strode away, completely ignoring Fu Yaning's ashen face.
Fu Yaning was a second wife; she got together with Meng Hongrong before he divorced his wife.
Everyone in this compound knows Meng Hongrong's first wife, and they've never been very kind to Fu Yaning.
Fu Yaning was used to it. She thought Zhou Yun was a bit difficult to deal with. Zhou Chuyu didn't have any family background, so Zhou Yun was definitely not satisfied with her. She wanted to test Zhou Yun's opinion, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yun was sarcastic and scolded her for a long time.
Fu Yaning was, after all, Meng Hongrong's wife. People outside called her Mrs. Meng. It was no exaggeration for her to act with impunity in Beijing. She also owned a clothing company and a cosmetics company, which gave her a lot of prestige.
Who knew that he would lose face in front of Zhou Yun!
Fu Yaning was furious. When she got home, she cursed Zhou Yun viciously. Meng Hongrong heard this and came out with a newspaper.
"Who are you insulting?"
Fu Yaning tempered herself. She was always obedient, gentle, and well-mannered in front of Meng Hongrong, but she never showed her vulgar and unreasonable side in front of him.
“I didn’t curse, I was just a little angry. That Zhou Yun doesn’t respect me at all. I said a few words to her, but she mocked me. Hongrong, you have to stand up for me! If we ever have the chance, we’ll definitely trample Dai Xueyi in the mud, bring down the Dai family, and make sure they never have a chance to rise again.”
Meng Hongrong was taken aback. "Do you think the Dai family is someone you can just trample on? We're not on the same side as the Dai family right now. We're betting on who will sit in the top position. If we win, we won't let the Dai family off the hook. Similarly, if the Dai family comes to power, they won't allow us to stay in this compound."
“I know,” Fu Yaning said, clinging to Meng Hongrong’s arm and acting coquettishly. “I understand everything you’re saying, but I’m just so angry at her snobbish way of looking down on people!”
Meng Hongrong understood Zhou Yun. He was a bit arrogant, but not difficult to get along with. Ultimately, it was because he had betrayed his first wife that Zhou Yun and his group looked down on him.
"Alright, why did you have to offend her? We don't have the ability to fight the Dai family right now. Just stay out of trouble and behave yourself, and we'll both have a better life."
Fu Yaning was very unhappy. Behave yourself? Was it that she didn't want to behave herself?
Liu Mingchuan's choice to go to the cosmetics company is a signal of a counterattack. Fu Yaning opened a cosmetics company and even stole Liu Mingchuan's formula. Now that the two companies are going head-to-head, if Mandarin becomes strong and big, will it let Yaning Beauty off the hook?
We should nip Mandarin in the bud while it's still in its infancy!
