Chapter 22: Chapter 16 My People
Zhu Nongzhang and the few n and won around him exchanged glances, their eyes carrying a mocking sneer.
One of them sighed in exasperation,
“No choice, that’s how rustics are, you have to be considerate of them, after all, the princess is ‘fake’.”
A group of strangers, almost straining themselves with sarcasm, although the title of ‘fake princess’ had been following her for seven years, but this wasn’t sothing that these well-educated and distinguished individuals should be doing, Yun Yuwan never understood.
Yun Yuwan didn’t speak.
A middle-aged man’s voice arose from behind her,
“Only those without money and pretending to be decent repeat wearing the sa necklace over and over.”
Everyone abruptly turned to look.
That sentence was spoken by Zhu Dongfeng.
Following behind Wen Yangzhi was a group of business elites, both old and young, all turning their gaze toward Zhu Nongzhang, not knowing how long they had been standing there.
Zhu Dongfeng’s eyes were almost bursting with rage, but because everyone was present, he restrained from making a scene.
How could one be so lacking in public grace? Even if Yun Yuwan wasn’t his biological daughter, she was still a mber of the Wen Family.
Fortunately, he caught Wen’s chairman’s signal and cut off that troublemaker’s words beforehand; otherwise, it would have been a completely different matter if the chairman had spoken out.
Zhu Nongzhang’s legs inexplicably went weak, “Daddy…”
And standing in front of Yun Yuwan, Wen Yangzhi wore a power suit that was loose and casual, making him look robust yet relaxed, his stature tall and slender, full of authority, resonating with his aura, the pressure making it hard for others to raise their eyes.
Wen Yangzhi coldly retorted, “What’s the problem with Wen’s daughter taking photos of her own ho?”
Zhu Nongzhang was thinking it was all over, hesitantly stuttering, “No… problem…”
“If that’s the case,” Wen Yangzhi said nonchalantly, “Miss Zhu should mind her own business; it’s not her place to manage my people.”
My people.
Yun Yuwan’s dark eyes suddenly brightened.
Lin Chu finally managed to swallow the cake that had been stuck in her throat and hugged Yun Yuwan around the neck,
“That’s right, our Yuwan’s own ho, she can take photos if she wants, it’s none of your business to nitpick.”
Like a machine gun, Lin Chu rattled on, “Her family owns a bank, she can take pictures whenever she wants, however she wants, even her brother won’t say anything, what’s the point of your endless nagging here? There are thousands of Wen Banks around the world; she can go to any to take her photos, and just outside here there’s a Wen Corporation Weihai Branch. She can even shoot at the door if she wants.”
Wen Yangzhi finally started walking away, and the people behind him followed.
anwhile, Lin Chu laughed with a heroic spirit, “May I ask among the skyscrapers of the world, which one belongs to you, Miss Zhu? Point one out to us; we’d also like to apply to take selfies there. I am willing to kneel and bow deeply to you, begging for the chance to shoot publicity photos at that location. Do you have one?”
That group hadn’t expected Wen Yangzhi to appear and defend Yun Yuwan, and they were montarily silenced by Lin Chu’s counterattack.
Zhu Nongzhang turned pale.
She knew she was in for it when she got ho; her father would definitely lose his temper…
Lin Chu couldn’t help but remark, “So many internet celebrities and stars take photos at The Bund, only you’re making a fuss. You call Yun Yuwan a bumpkin, and I ought to call you a wannabe, not knowing your own limits, pretending to be a diamond drill. Tell , do you own even a single light on The Bund?”
Yun Yuwan just quietly watched Zhu Nongzhang.
It wasn’t Lin Chu’s words that infuriated Zhu Nongzhang,
It was the seemingly pitying look from Yun Yuwan that nearly made Zhu Nongzhang explode,
“What are you so proud of, your surna is Yun, not Wen; don’t think I don’t know, when Uncle Wen wanted to change your surna, it was your brother who objected, insisted on quashing the matter, forbidding you from changing your surna to beco a true mber of the Wen Family. Clearly an outsider, you still pretend to be the Wen Family’s precious daughter.”
Lin Chu and Yun Yuwan exchanged a knowing look.
Lin Chu couldn’t help but laugh with a deep aning, “What do you know? If it weren’t for wanting us to beco one family, she wouldn’t keep her surna.”
Zhu Nongzhang truly felt that Yun Yuwan was both pitiful and laughable at this mont, “Not changing her surna is the proof of becoming a family? Do tell
this amazing logic, I’d like to hear it.”
But Lin Chu was tight-lipped, and raised a finger to waggle it:
“If I told you, you might die of shock, so we won’t say it, okay?”
Zhu Nongzhang laughed sarcastically, “I really wish you could scare
to death.”
Yun Yuwan spoke up, “Forget it, don’t bother with her, she might have taken the wrong dicine.”
Lin Chu erupted into a burst of laughter, looped an arm around Yun Yuwan’s neck, and walked off without even looking back at her.
Zhu Nongzhang was so angry she was practically half-dead, but she didn’t dare to follow them.
Lin Chu lowered her voice to tease Yun Yuwan, “Your brother looked so handso when he defended you just now.”
At first, she had been worried that it was just Yun Yuwan being presumptuous, but that phrase “my person” was indeed delightfully ambiguous.
Could have just said my sister, but no, he had to say “my person”.
Tsk, tsk.
Yun Yuwan’s ears turned slightly red.
It was very handso.
Lin Chu clapped her on the shoulder, “I haven’t seen your brother for a long ti, the last ti was at a banquet, where many people laughed at the phrase ‘Oh brother, so pretentious’.”
Lin Chu clicked her tongue in disapproval, “But your brother’s pretentiousness is genuine—I doubt there’s anyone in Shanghai with a thicker air than him; it’s like he would use a knife and fork to eat kedgeree.”
Yun Yuwan was made to feel a bit embarrassed by the comnts, “No way.”
Lin Chu raised an eyebrow, “How not? He’s got the most money, an enigmatic charisma, and people probably line up from Waibaidu Bridge to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge because they like him. Keep a close eye on him.”
Just thinking about how Wen Yangzhi had gone out of his way to protect her, Yun Yuwan’s face flushed red.
Zhu Nongzhang stomped back to sit beside her sister, Zhu Qing’an, puffing up with anger.
Zhu Qing’an spoke slowly and deliberately, “Who irritated you with that expression?”
Zhu Nongzhang complained, “The fake princess from the Wen Family, the other day she wore a very expensive necklace that belonged to Aunt Qin.”
Zhu Qing’an accepted a business card handed over from soone nearby, giving the recipient a polite smile.
While looking at the business card, she reminded Zhu Nongzhang, “Although Aunt Qin treats you well, after all, Yun Yuwan is Aunt Qin’s daughter, don’t always compete with her for affection.”
Zhu Qing’an and Nongzhang’s mother had passed away early, and Aunt Qin had always taken great care of Nongzhang as if she were her own daughter, that is until Yun Yuwan ca along.
Zhu Nongzhang retorted awkwardly, “It’s not because of that.”
Zhu Qing’an didn’t find it important, “What necklace could make you so angry? Are you upset because Aunt Qin gave it to her and not to you?”
Zhu Nongzhang said enviously, “A Colombian erald necklace.”
Zhu Qing’an hadn’t realized the severity of the issue, “Eralds are precious, but the one around your neck was also given to you by Aunt Qin. Why fight over this?”
Zhu Nongzhang, filled with dissatisfaction, muttered, “Anyway, it just bothers
to see her wearing such a glamorous necklace pretending to be a real princess, and I heard that necklace won first place at the Arican Jeweler’s Association design contest, she doesn’t deserve it!”
Hearing about the association’s design contest for the first ti, Zhu Qing’an, who had been lounging indifferently, suddenly looked up:
“Wait a minute! Is the necklace you’re talking about called ‘Assassination of Night-blooming Cestrum’?”
Zhu Nongzhang was so irritated she almost distorted, “I don’t know, but indeed it was shaped like strings of Night-blooming Cestrum. There’s nothing impressive about it; even being that big, it cannot cover her poor and sour air.”
“Stop talking!” Zhu Qing’an was shocked, “You disaster magnet, that necklace is not Aunt Qin’s, it’s a gift from Wen Yangzhi to Yun Yuwan.”
