Chapter 181: Please Si En
at the same time.
A villa residential area in Beijing.
The driver parked the car at the tree-lined avenue, and Ms. Bai got out. Knowing that she was coming, An Yan was already waiting at the gate. She walked straight up to her mother-in-law, looking like a well-behaved daughter-in-law, and greeted her mother-in-law as she entered.
Entered the house.
Please ask mother-in-law to take a seat.
An Yan personally brewed some tea and brought it over, placing it next to Ms. Bai: "Mom, this is the new Rainforest Longjing tea you bought, please try it."
In the past, Bai Wanqing had only thought of An Yan as dignified and generous, with a good family background, a good match for A Zheng, and someone who could help him. But now, compared to Shi Yin, who was two-faced, skilled at deceiving people, and had tricked Han Zhan into giving up his family, Bai Wanqing felt that An Yan was wonderful, a rare daughter-in-law.
"Yan Yan, the day after you and A Zheng got married, he went on a business trip to the next city, leaving you alone to take care of the family. Thank you for your hard work."
"Mom, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
"Don't worry, Yanyan. Now that you've married into the Han family and become the eldest daughter-in-law, I won't let you suffer any injustice." Ms. Bai held her hand and comforted her, "Han Zhan behaved badly. He proposed to you and A Zheng on your wedding day, deliberately trying to steal the spotlight. I will definitely teach him a lesson and give you and A Zheng justice."
The housekeeper brought something in at this time.
Several boxes of exquisite pastries.
Ms. Bai patiently said to An Yan, "I asked someone to inquire at the Shine Group. It is said that President Shien prefers Chinese pastries. My family is from the capital, and there are many old-fashioned master craftsmen there. I specially sent someone to order a few. The day after tomorrow, you and A Zheng will go to see Shien and give him these pastries as a gesture of friendship."
"Mom, my grandpa——"
"Mom knows that Mr. An, who was recuperating abroad, came back to attend your wedding with A Zheng, and he also agreed to attend Shine's dinner the day after tomorrow to help get the project back. However, we must not forget etiquette, and we should humble ourselves and curry favor with him. After all, it is A Zheng who needs this contract more, and it is Shine who we need help from."
"A Zheng is a man of integrity, and as a man, he also cares a bit about his reputation. If he can't let go of his pride and try to mediate, you, as his wife, can help him out and say a few good words. Try to accommodate Si En as much as possible. In the future, when you work together, you'll have to rely on Si En to give A Zheng advice and guide him."
An Yan frowned secretly.
Why do I feel that Han Zheng has no ability the more I listen?
She got the project back thanks to her connections with Mr. An and Si En, using the pastries sent by Ms. Bai. They also had to be humble and smile apologetically to get closer to Si En.
Did so much.
Do you still have to consider Han Zheng's face?
He sits back and reaps the benefits and still wants to maintain his dignity as a man?
Was Han Zheng the one who orchestrated the Han Corporation's international cooperation six years ago? Was he truly worthy of his title as the president of the Han Corporation, or was he just a figurehead?
An Yan didn't have time to think about it. She quickly concealed the fleeting strange expression on her face and nodded to Ms. Bai with her usual good attitude: "Mom, I will do it well."
There was a sound of car outside the house.
Han Zheng came in three minutes later.
The man looked exhausted. He changed his shoes at the entrance and hurried into the living room without even taking off his suit jacket.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I only just found out when Dad said you were coming here in the evening during the meeting, so I drove back immediately."
"You keep busy."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, and I'm worried even though I'm busy." Han Zheng walked over, looked at Ms. Bai's pale face, and frowned. "Mom, I asked someone at the Chinese medicine store to prescribe you some headache medicine a few days ago. Did you take it on time?"
Hearing this.
The butler next to him opened his mouth.
Receiving Ms. Bai's gaze, the butler bit his tongue in time and did not make a sound.
Ever since the second young master moved his household registration out of the Han family, he hasn't returned, nor has he sent those rare and expensive pills. His wife's headaches have become increasingly severe, sometimes so severe that she can't eat during the day. When the eldest young master heard the news, he sent someone to a Chinese medicine clinic to get the medicine, which was delivered to the Han residence a few days ago.
But.
Young Master, this medicine is not of high quality.
The medication had no effect and actually had side effects. My wife already had a headache, and after taking the pills, she started vomiting. She suffered for several days and was in a lot of pain.
"Eat on time." said Ms. Bai.
"Is the medicine okay? I consulted several Chinese medicine practitioners and they jointly prescribed a prescription for me."
"fine."
"How does it compare to the medicine Zhan gave you earlier?"
"It's definitely better than Han Zhan's."
Ms. Bai said this calmly, and even reached out to touch her son's face. Seeing him so busy at work, she felt very distressed: "A Zheng, when you get the cooperation project with Shine, you can take a few days off and choose a nice place for your honeymoon with Yanyan."
An Yan was delighted.
Just as she was about to say something, Han Zheng spoke first: "Mom, we don't need a honeymoon. There's so much going on at the company, how can I find time for a vacation? An Yan is a sensible daughter, she will understand me."
The corners of An Yan's lips, which had not yet risen, froze.
Took a breath.
Trying to maintain a friendly appearance.
She regained her usual elegant and gentle voice and agreed, "Yes, Mom. Right now, A Zheng's career is on the rise, so there's no need for a honeymoon. A Zheng and I are still young, so we'll have plenty of time in the future."
The two men saw Ms. Bai out.
After watching the car drive away, Han Zheng turned back to the house. An Yan paused for a moment and hurried to follow. However, the man walked fast and didn't seem to want to wait for her, so she couldn't catch up.
Wait for her to come in.
Han Zheng had taken off his coat and was leaning back on the sofa.
The back is tilted back.
His eyes were closed as if he was very tired.
An Yan glanced at him twice, then walked to the bar to pour a glass of warm water, and came over to put it next to him: "A Zheng, have some water."
"I have something else to do, so I'll go to the study first."
"That night—"
"If you're tired, go to sleep first."
He stood up.
He left the living room without looking back.
In a moment, the figure disappeared from An Yan's sight. He had gotten drunk on the wedding day, slept all night, and was away on a business trip the next day. Now that he was back, he was busy with work again.
He didn't mention a word about Han Zhan proposing to Shi Yin and stealing her wedding glory. She couldn't help but euphemistically say something to him, but he just said, "Zhan is a competitive person. You're his sister-in-law, so it's okay to give in a little. A harmonious family brings prosperity. Don't let the relationship between us brothers become strained."
The cell phone suddenly rang.
An Yan came back to her senses.
She walked toward the sound, picked up Han Zheng's suit jacket, which he had casually tossed on the sofa, and pulled the ringing phone from her pocket. It was her assistant calling, and she slid the green button to answer. The person on the other end was so anxious, she didn't even bother to check if it was Han Zheng. "Boss Han, Chairman Jiang and his people have discovered that it was you, not the Second Young Master, who caused the company's sudden loss of 300 million yuan. They're already unhappy with you and trying to bring you down. If they find out, they're bound to cause a scene at the company!"
