Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon - Chapter 491

Chapter 491: Who Said A Daughter Isn’t As Good As A Husband? A Girl Can Also Be The Heiress

The group of them played in Guilin for four days before returning home.

At the end of December, the smell of the new year was getting stronger and stronger. The advertisements in the airport lobby had all turned into the best wishes for the new year.

The children alighted and boarded the car sent by their own driver to fetch them home. When Jiang Sheng pulled Jiang Qing into the car, he saw Yan Chuyu specially waiting by the car.

Jiang Qing’s scalp went numb the moment he saw Yan Chuyu. He stood beside his elder sister and called out to Yan Chuyu very softly, “Uncle.”

Yan Chuyu snorted. “Don’t call me that. I don’t have a lying little nephew.”

Jiang Qing’s tender little face instantly turned red. He said to his elder sister, Jiang Sheng, “Sister, I’ll get in the car first.” Afraid that Yan Chuyu would settle scores with him after the autumn, Jiang Qing hurriedly climbed into the car and closed the door, his ears quiet.

Jiang Sheng saw his brother’s fear and guilt. She roughly understood what happened between the two of them.

Without waiting for Jiang Sheng to ask, Yan Chuyu said, “I didn’t hit him that day. Your brother is very cunning. He purposely shouted to attract your attention because he wanted you to misunderstand me. Sheng Sheng, your brother is a little liar.”

Jiang Sheng also guessed that her younger brother was lying.

Although Yan Chuyu was a jerk, he wouldn’t bully children or lower himself to her brother’s level.

Jiang Sheng apologized on behalf of her younger brother. “Uncle, my younger brother is insensible. I apologize on his behalf.”

Yan Chuyu’s face darkened. “Do I want your apology?”

Yan Chuyu looked around and confirmed that Han Miao and the rest had already boarded the car and left. Only then did she say to Jiang Sheng, “Regardless of whether you believe me or not, I have to explain. That time when I touched your back, I was really just worried that you would catch a cold from sweating. I didn’t have any other thoughts.”

Even if they broke up, Yan Chuyu couldn’t accept Jiang Sheng misunderstanding him like that.

Breaking up should be clear.

Jiang Sheng nodded, indicating that she knew. “Alright. I believe you. I misunderstood you.”

Yan Chuyu looked at her eagerly and asked, “Then… then can we still reconcile?”

Jiang Sheng stammered as she rejected. “Forget… forget it. I’m afraid my father will break your legs.”

Yan Chuyu was speechless.

Yan Chuyu’s first love completely ended on this day.

On the way home, Yan Chuyu stared at the driver for a moment and suddenly asked, “Uncle Ah Lun, do you have a cigarette?”

Ah Lun, who was focused on driving, was shocked by Yan Chuyu’s question.

He knew that the young master was in a bad mood after falling out of love and needed to do something to vent his feelings. But he was still underage and definitely couldn’t touch cigarettes.

Ah Lun couldn’t say anything reasonable, so he gave an inappropriate analogy and said, “Little Yu, isn’t it just a breakup? Uncle Ah Lun only got married at the age of 33 and fell out of love a total of eight times before getting married. Breaking up is like eating a piece of stinky tofu. It stinks in your mouth for a while before disappearing without a trace. In the future, if you recall this first love again, the rest are just blurry images. The pain and sadness now are not worth mentioning in the future.”

Yan Chuyu didn’t know if he took Ah Lun’s words to heart or if he was thinking of something else, but se didn’t ask him for more cigarettes.

…

After returning from Guangxi, Han Jun went to the company to be Han Zhan’s assistant.

At the end of the year, Han Zhan’s focus was mainly on social interaction.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Zhan’s team gathered all the business big shots in the city who had close collaborations with him and invited them to the lavish political party.

The Luxury Club was a high-class club that Jiang Zhen had secretly founded when he was young. The club was built in a Tang style. There was Elegance Restaurant, Breeze Restaurant, and Si Zhengting Restaurant.

Elegance Restaurant was a gathering place for cultured people. Breeze Restaurant was a gathering place for music enthusiasts, while Carefree Restaurant was a place for those rich second-generation nouveau riches to seek pleasure. The Political Thought Restaurant was the most mysterious and core pavilion in the entire clubhouse. It only received the top 500 business big shots in the country and political big shots.

Almost all the business big shots who received Han Zhan’s invitation would attend the party.

In the afternoon, the chief secretary sent Han Zhan’s suit to his office that night. Han Zhan entered the changing room to change his clothes. When he came out, he saw Han Jun in his office. “Junjun.”

Han Jun had also changed. She was wearing a black dress with a black coat over it. Her long hair was tied up and her glasses blocked her beautiful, long, willowy eyes.

Hearing Han Zhan’s voice, she put down her cell phone and said to him, “Father, Mother said that she’s not free tonight and won’t be entertaining you.”

Han Zhan handed two dark blue cufflinks to Han Jun. Han Jun took the cufflinks and carefully put them on for Han Zhan, just like how Song Ci always did.

Han Zhan handed the tie to Han Jun again. “Do you know how?”

“I’ve learned it from Mother.” Han Jun tiptoed slightly and tied her father’s tie.

“Alright, Father.”

Han Zhan walked up to the mirror and sized up the tie that Han Jun had tied for him. After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction and praised. “Your future husband is really fortunate.” He turned around, pointed at the tie on his neck, smiled at Han Jun, and said, “You are the girl who used the richest man as a test subject.”

Han Jun followed his words. “Xu Qian doesn’t seem to wear a tie often.”

The smile on Han Zhan’s face instantly disappeared without a trace. Not wanting to mention Han Jun’s boyfriend, Han Zhan picked up his cell phone and said, “Let’s go. Accompany me out to eat something before we go to the clubhouse.”

“Okay.”

Han Zhan personally drove Han Jun to a restaurant that cooked steamed chicken.

Entering the restaurant, Han Zhan brought Han Jun to the innermost corner and sat down. He took off his suit jacket, placed it on the back of the chair, and sat down.

Han Jun poured a cup of tea for Han Zhan. Han Zhan drank the tea his daughter poured and told Han Jun, “Your mother likes to eat the dry steamed chicken made by this shop. Every time she comes, she will eat two drumsticks and drink a bowl of chicken soup.”

Han Jun said, “Then I have to taste it well.”

Han Zhan nodded.

He had called in advance to make an appointment. The two of them only waited for three to four minutes before the waiter served the food.

The father-daughter duo were not talkative. They were very quiet during dinner.

Han Jun took a sip of the soup and realized that it was indeed very nice. She couldn’t help taking out her cell phone, took a photo, and sent it to Xu Qian: [The dry steamed chicken in this shop is especially delicious. The soup is very delicious. The next time you come over, I’ll treat you to it.]

Xu Qian was going to work the night shift. When he received Han Jun’s message, Xu Qian was eating in the canteen.

Seeing the photo of the food sent by Han Jun, Xu Qian suddenly had the urge to open the dining table in the canteen. He stared at the food on his plate that made him lose his appetite and also took a photo to send to the other party. He said: [Look, our dining hall’s big meal. Compared to yours, my place is the dinner of the poor.]

Han Jun held her cell phone and chatted with Xu Qian.

Han Zhan drank the soup as he observed Han Jun.

Although the girl didn’t smile, her eyes were filled with gentleness. It was obvious that she was a young girl in love.

Han Zhan couldn’t even drink the soup anymore. He put down the bowl, placed the spoon on the plate, and asked Han Jun, “Who are you chatting with?”

Han Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, “Xu Qian.”

Han Zhan had already guessed that this would be the answer, so he was not surprised. He scooped another spoonful of soup and drank it with mixed feelings before saying, “You guys have been very close recently.”

Han Jun said, “If couples don’t keep in touch, we won’t be far from breaking up. Father, are you hoping that I will be dumped by Xu Qian?”

“How dare he!” Han Zhan instantly scolded angrily. “If he dares to abandon you, Father will be the first to beat him to death!”

Han Jun put down her cell phone, looked at Han Zhan, and said very seriously, “Father, don’t worry. I will date well with Xu Qian and get married and have children in the future so that he can’t bear to abandon me.”

Han Zhan was not happy to hear this.

Han Jun had never found the right time to tell Han Zhan about Xu Qian visiting their house during the new year. Since she had mentioned Xu Qian, Han Jun had something to say.

Han Jun coughed on purpose.

Han Zhan looked at her and guessed her thoughts. He said bluntly, “You have something to say?”

Han Jun said, “Mmm.”

Han Zhan said, “Just say it.”

Han Jun said, “Xu Qian will visit us during the new year.”

Han Zhan was speechless.

This bastard!

“Is that so?” Han Zhan smiled. “I heard that the Xu Family has a thousand-year-old ginseng. He can come if he wants. Bring the ginseng over and I’ll let him enter the house.”

Han Jun said, “Must you do this?”

Han Zhan glanced at Han Jun and said, “In my eyes, 10,000 thousand-year-old ginseng can’t compare to you. Why? In your Brother Xu Qian’s eyes, are you worthless?”

Han Jun said, “Got it.”

After dinner, the father-daughter duo strolled around an artificial lake to digest their food. When it was about time, they set off to attend a party.

On the way to a life of luxury, Han Jun conveyed Han Zhan’s request to Xu Qian. [My father said that it’s fine if you want to come to my house for the new year, but the prerequisite is that you must prepare a hundred thousand-year-old ginseng.]

Xu Qian was making ward rounds at work and couldn’t be bothered to read the news. By the time he saw the news, Han Jun had already arrived at the clubhouse and was focused on entertaining Han Zhan.

…

Han Zhan booked the entire third floor of Si Zheng Tower tonight. All the big shots in the business world who had received the invitation were at the party.

At such formal business gatherings, CEOs would only bring two types of people. The first was their virtuous wife and the second was their successor. So when Han Zhan brought Han Jun to attend the gathering, those people’s gazes on Han Jun were especially complicated.

He had long heard that Han Zhan had been grooming his successor these few years. The successor was a very talented businessman. He was very young but very smart. His methods were as ruthless as those old foxes in the business world.

But the identity of that successor had never been made public.

Han Zhan had three children, one son and two daughters. Everyone tacitly acknowledged that the heir was Han Zhan’s only son. It was a phenomenon worldwide that favored boys over girls. The heirs of major corporations were usually men. Therefore, when Han Jun, as the daughter, accompanied Han Zhan to the business meeting as the heir, it was very difficult not to be criticized.

From the corner of her eye, Han Jun noticed that those people were sizing her up. Some of them looked suspicious, while others looked doubtful.

Han Jun’s shoulders straightened as she followed beside Han Zhan with her head held high like a proud plum.

“Mr. Han!” Everyone leaned towards Han Zhan and raised their glasses to greet him. “Mr. Han, good evening! May I know who this young lady beside Mr. Han is?”

Han Jun was the successor of Zeus Corporation and her identity couldn’t be hidden. Han Zhan decided to bring Han Jun out to attend the gathering because he wanted Han Jun to interact with these old foxes in advance.

Hearing everyone’s question, Han Zhan didn’t have any intention of hiding the treasure. He picked up Han Jun’s hand and told everyone, “Everyone, she is my second daughter, Han Jun, and also the future successor of Zeus Corporation. Everyone is her uncles. In the future, when we meet in the business world, I hope that the elders can help out a little.”

Although they had already guessed that this woman was Han Zhan’s chosen successor, they were still shocked to hear Han Zhan announce this news.

“Junjun, this is the ancient cultural media’s CEO Gu. This is Sunshine Real Estate’s CEO Yang…”

Han Zhan introduced everyone to Han Jun.

After greeting them, Han Jun went to sit alone in the corner.

She turned on her cell phone and realized that Xu Qian had replied to her message half an hour ago.

Xu Qian: [There are indeed thousand-year-old ginseng. I shouldn’t be able to gather all 100. I got Father to go to the warehouse to check it. I should still be able to gather 50 ginseng.]

Han Jun couldn’t help smiling when she saw Xu Qian’s reply.

Idiot.

As Han Jun and Xu Qian chatted, she suddenly felt a shadow fall on her.

She looked up and saw a young woman in her twenties standing in front of her. She was wearing a dark blue dress and a white fox fur shawl over her shoulders, looking very luxurious.

Han Jun stared at her coldly and didn’t speak.

“Miss Han, can I sit beside you?”

Han Jun nodded and moved to the side. She gave a seat to the woman on the sofa. The woman sat down and introduced herself. “I am the daughter of Jiangcheng Blue Sky Electronics Company, Hong Lanyu.”

Han Jun knew about Blue Sky Electronics Company. This company was first jointly funded by overseas companies to manufacture computers, cell phones, and other electronic products.

Half a year ago, the Hong Family and the Gu Family in the city had a marriage alliance. Hong Lanyu married Gu Qinfeng.

The Gu Family was an established electronics company that started off by producing television sets. The marriage between these two leading electronics companies had caused a stir.

Gu Qinfeng and Han Zhan were about the same age, but Hong Lanyu was only 25 years old. The age difference between the two was 20 years. They were purely in a business marriage.

Hong Lanyu was very beautiful. She was a really beautiful vase. Her skin that was exposed outside the dress was very fair like snow. The necklaces and earrings on her ears were in a set. One look and one could tell that they were expensive.

Hong Lanyu and Han Jun were two completely different women. The former accepted fate and married a 45-year-old man, quietly being a pleasing vase. The latter was still underage but was already the successor of Zeus Corporation recognized by Han Zhan.

Han Jun nodded at Hong Lanyu. “Hello.”

It had been half a year since Hong Lanyu married and came to Wangdong City. She didn’t have any good friends or family. Apart from shopping, she slept and worked out every day. Her life looked luxurious and enviable, but she was actually very empty inside.

Hong Lanyu stared at Han Jun’s youthful but beautiful face. She suddenly had the urge to confide in her.

“Miss Han, are you willing to talk to me?”

The big shots at the gathering were all uncles and seniors. Han Jun also felt bored. Hearing Hong Lanyu’s words, Han Jun nodded thoughtfully. “What do you want to talk about?”

Hong Lanyu said, “Miss Han, you are really very lucky.”

Hong Lanyu praised her luck the moment she opened her mouth. Han Jun couldn’t help suspecting that there was something wrong with this person’s brain.

But she also agreed with Hong Lanyu’s view. She was indeed lucky. Be it being born in the Han Family, being Han Zhan and Song Ci’s daughter, or knowing Xu Qian, she was lucky.

Han Jun wanted to hypocritically praise Hong Lanyu for being a lucky person, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it when she thought that Hong Lanyu, as the daughter of a famous family, had to accept the arrangement of her family to marry a middle-aged man.

Hong Lanyu said, “I am the only daughter of my family. I studied international finance in university. I thought that after graduation, my father could arrange for me to take over the company. But I didn’t expect my father to be so traditional to think that girls can’t manage a good company.”

She turned to smile bitterly at Han Jun and said, “The Hong Family and the Gu Family’s marriage alliance is to hand the Blue Sky Electronic Technology Company to an outsider. My father would rather let a son-in-law with an outsider’s surname manage the company than trust his own daughter.”

“Of course, he’s not so stupid as to completely believe an outsider, so he treated me as a chess piece, a chess piece that can have children.”

Hearing this, Han Jun’s interest was piqued by Hong Lanyu’s words.

She asked in confusion, “A chess piece that can have children? What do you mean?”

Hong Lanyu didn’t hide it and said bluntly, “Before I got married, Father promised me that regardless of whether I wanted to divorce Gu Qinfeng or break off my relationship with the Hong Family, I could do it. The premise is that I must have two sons with Gu Qinfeng. One has to follow my father’s surname and inherit the Hong Family’s business in the future. The other has to follow Gu Qinfeng and inherit the Gu Family’s business.”

When Han Jun heard this, she felt that it was ridiculous and also had a deeper understanding of the so-called selfish actions of the high society.

Sacrificing his daughter’s life for his own benefit and purpose was a very common phenomenon in the high society.

No wonder Hong Lanyu envied her.

Compared to Hong Lanyu, as the daughter of the Han Family, she was indeed a lucky person.

Han Jun couldn’t help asking, “What if it’s a daughter?”

Hong Lanyu stared at her husband, who was chatting happily with someone in the distance. Her smile was filled with mockery. “Then continue giving birth until there are two boys. Moreover, medical science is advanced now. It’s very easy to give birth to boys.”

Hong Lanyu tightened her fur shawl and sighed enviously. “Miss Han, you have a very open and fair father. Mr. Han is so outstanding. He deserves to earn big money and be the richest man.”

Hong Lanyu stared at Han Zhan’s figure in the crowd with sincere admiration in her eyes.

Hong Lanyu was about to chat with Han Jun when Gu Qinfeng walked over.

Han Jun and Hong Lanyu stood up together and called out to Gu Qinfeng. “Uncle Gu.”

Gu Qinfeng nodded and asked her, “Junjun, what are you talking about with your aunt?”

Hong Lanyu was only seven to eight years older than Han Jun. She was even more beautiful and looked like a university student. If not for Gu Qinfeng’s past relationship, Han Jun would have called Hong Lanyu elder sister.

So when she heard Gu Qinfeng’s words, Hong Lanyu couldn’t raise her head.

But she quickly adjusted herself and put on a charming smile. She walked over and held the arm of the man who was 20 years older than her. She looked up and said gently to Gu Qinfeng, “Qinfeng, I am talking to Miss Han about private matters between girls. Are you sure you want to know?”

Gu Qinfeng scratched Hong Lanyu’s nose and said, “Alright, let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

Han Jun watched the couple’s interaction and felt that it was strange.

After they left, Han Jun sat on the sofa for a while before Han Zhan called her over.

On the way back, Han Jun sat in the passenger seat. No one knew what she was thinking, but she remained silent after boarding the car.

Han Zhan noticed his daughter’s abnormal behavior and asked, “Junjun, what are you thinking about?”

Han Jun asked, “Father, do you know about the marriage between Jiang City’s Hong Family and the Gu Family?”

“Of course.” In the early years, Han Zhan and Gu Qinfeng had not had a good time because of Gu Qinchuan. Their relationship had been in a stalemate for a few years, and they only started collaborating a few years ago. Han Zhan and Song Ci had even attended Gu Qinfeng and Hong Lanyu’s wedding.

“Why are you asking about this?” Han Zhan recalled the scene at the gathering and asked, “Did you have a good chat with Hong Lanyu tonight?”

“It’s alright.” Han Jun told Han Zhan, “Hong Lanyu told me that she is the only daughter in the family, but her father would rather hand the company to his son-in-law to manage than let his daughter manage it. Her father and Gu Qinfeng made a deal. They agreed that after Hong Lanyu gave birth to two boys, one of them had to grow up in the Hong Family and follow the Hong Family’s surname. In the future, he would inherit the Hong Family’s business and the Gu Family’s business would go to the other.”

“As long as Hong Lanyu completes her mission, she can divorce Gu Qinfeng at any time and cut ties with the Hong Family. Father, don’t you think this kind of deal is especially outrageous?”

After hearing Han Jun’s explanation, Han Zhan also revealed a disdainful expression. “I’ve heard people say that there’s something fishy between these two families. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Han Jun asked Han Zhan, “Father, will you treat us like Father Hong treated Hong Lanyu?”

Han Zhan glared at her with a disdainful expression. “Comparing me with such a person is an insult to me. Junjun, Father never uses the children to facilitate some kind of deal. To me, family is my motivation to work hard to earn money.”

Only a beast would use his family to exchange for money.
