"The business that was almost in our hands has just slipped away. How do you conduct your affairs?" The sharp reprimand had not ceased since breakfast.
The woman sat at the table, not even touching her chopsticks, merely glaring fiercely at the leisurely eating Su Lingyu.
Seeing no response, Ruan Xiaolian, exasperated, stamped her foot and said unwillingly, "I can't believe how shameless you are. We've already decided to dismiss you, yet you cling on here like a leech!"
At her words, Su Lingyu glanced at Ruan Xiaolian with indifference, put down her chopsticks, and replied coldly, "Miss Ruan, this family is surnamed Wen, not Ruan. It’s not up to someone with your surname to criticize me!"
Ruan Xiaolian was momentarily speechless; she shot her a furious glare before running to Old Madam to complain.
Among the Wen family, the person who disliked Su Lingyu the most was this cousin, Ruan Xiaolian. Originally infatuated with Wen Jing and determined to marry him, she found herself in a predicament when Wen Jing developed feelings for Su Lingyu instead.
In the end, she had no choice but to compromise and agree to an engagement with the family's steward, Mo Qing.
After Wen Jing's unexpected tragic death, Ruan Xiaolian shifted all the blame onto Su Lingyu.
"If you're not comfortable here, feel free to return to the Ruan family. I will have Mo Qing accompany you back," Su Lingyu said as she pushed the elderly lady back into the house.
Passing through the garden, where the sun shone warmly, Old Madam slightly opened her eyes and said slowly, "Xiao Lian has a quick temper; just be more accommodating towards her."
Su Lingyu paused for a moment and replied softly, "I understand."
"Just because someone returned from studying abroad doesn’t mean their skills are superior to ours. Why did we lose to that pretender?"
The old lady had long heard from Mo Qing about everything that had happened. "Lingyu, you still need to practice more," she advised.
Su Lingyu lowered her head and replied, "Yes."
After seeing the old lady back to her room and carefully instructing Silly Girl to take good care of her, Su Lingyu returned to her study to deal with Shanghang's affairs.
Losing a major deal still left her feeling quite dejected.
While she was lost in thought, Mo Qing burst in, stammering for a while before finally managing to say, "Boss Yun from Cloud Mark Workshop is here. He wants to discuss a collaboration with you."
"Collaboration?" Su Lingyu paused for a moment, puzzled.
When she entered the outer room, Yun Shaoyan was waiting there, leisurely admiring the wall paintings.
Su Lingyu didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "What do you mean by collaboration, Boss Yun?"
"Miss Su, why are you in such a hurry? Let me finish this cup of tea first!" Yun Shaoyan said as he picked up his cup, his gaze sweeping over her with a smile in his eyes.
Suppressing her impatience, Su Lingyu had Mo Qing prepare some snacks while she patiently waited.
After quite some time, Yun Shaoyan finally spoke at a leisurely pace: "As you know, I've just returned here and I'm not very familiar with everything in Meiyuan Town. Although I've been fortunate enough to take over Boss Zhang's business, my network is still not broad enough. So I thought perhaps we could collaborate, and you could provide me with the connections I need."
"Is it just about connections?"
Yun Shaoyan laughed heartily, "Yes, the profits will be split fifty-fifty."
"That's impossible." Su Lingyu shook her head repeatedly. "No one would engage in such a losing business. You expect me to take fifty percent just for my connections?"
She looked at Yun Shaoyan, whose smile only grew wider, and sensed that he was not lying. "What exactly are you after? What does the Wen Family have left that you would want?"
Yun Shaoyan chuckled softly and leaned closer to Su Lingyu's face. "Actually, I find you quite interesting."
Su Lingyu's cheeks flushed instantly, as if she had been mocked. She stood up abruptly, saying, "I'm glad to please Mr. Yun, but I'm afraid I don't want to cooperate with you."
As she turned to leave, Yun Shaoyan grabbed her arm, causing her to stumble into his waiting embrace.
Just as she was about to struggle, he held her tightly. "Don't be willful. The Wen Family needs this deal, and so do you, don't you?"
His voice was filled with temptation. Before coming here, he had already investigated the situation of the Wen Family.
Su Lingyu stopped struggling and fell silent.
"And rest assured, I have no intention of fooling you. In fact—" He paused, carefully observing every subtle change in her expression. The blush on her cheeks resembled the most vibrant clouds at sunset, making him want to draw closer. But he understood that such an action would only push her further away.
He smirked and said jokingly, "In fact, it seems I've fallen for you."
