Chapter 408: Yan Wangchuan Is My Dad

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside the restaurant…

Half the glass of wine spilled on Yan Wangchuan’s jacket, and his face instantly darkened.

“Mr. Yan, I’m really sorry. I’ll help you wipe it.” Gao Xue was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she appeared to be panicking. The people at the side didn’t expect such an ‘accident’ to happen and didn’t know what to do.

Perhaps because Gao Xue was too anxious, she reached out her hand and tried to help him wipe off the wine…

Standing not far away, Song Fengwan didn’t expect such a move. The wine spilled on his chest so precisely?

Unfortunately, before Gao Xue’s hands could touch him, Yan Wangchuan raised his hand…

Slap!

He had always used a lot of force. When he slapped her hand away, Gao Xue staggered backward. If not for someone supporting her from behind, she would have fallen.

Her wrist was slapped away, and her entire arm instantly went numb. Her hand hurt even more.

Yan Wangchuan had already gotten up and taken off his jacket. When he saw the wine stains on it, his gaze became even colder.

“Mr. Yan, I didn’t do it on purpose. I’ll take care of cleaning your jacket for you.” Gao Xue endured the tingling pain from her wrist and forced a smile on her face.

“Teacher Gao didn’t do it on purpose.”

“That’s right, President Yan. Don’t take it to heart.”

The surrounding people helped smooth things over.

Yan Wangchuan was usually a person with few expressions. But at this moment, his expression was gloomy, making him look even more terrifying.

“Miss Gao is already an adult. First of all, she’s not drunk, and second, her hands aren’t shaking. Why can’t she even hold a wine glass?” Yan Wangchuan questioned, his eyes focused and his voice low.

“Someone bumped into me just now. I accidentally…”

Gao Xue had already asked around about Yan Wangchuan. He had just gotten married, and his wife was pregnant. He was famous in the circle for being ascetic and aloof. But what Yan Wangchuan could bring her wasn’t only opportunities and wealth, but also more…

She definitely had to get close to him.

No matter what method she used.

People didn’t know how to be satisfied. She used to be in a tutoring center. And after receiving the gold medal of the Yuming Cup, she was hired by Beijing University’s Central Academy of Fine Arts as a lecturer. She had both status and a decent salary, but universities and businesses were incomparable.

Yan Wangchuan narrowed his eyes. “That’s quite a coincidence. You just happened to get bumped toward me?”

“Please give me your jacket. I’ll dry clean it for you. Give me your address later, and I’ll deliver it to you personally.

“I’m really sorry. I really didn’t mean to.

“Why don’t I buy you a new set later?”

Gao Xue kept apologizing. She was a beautiful woman with a humble attitude. Because she was anxious, her eyes were a little red, as if she was about to cry. No one would be able to continue scolding her loudly.

But everyone seemed to have forgotten that a person like Yan Wangchuan would never have so-called sympathy and pity.

“You want my address?”

Actually, many people present could see Gao Xue’s intentions. No one who could make a name for themselves in society was stupid.

“No, why would I…” Gao Xue hurriedly explained.

“I’m married. As a woman, don’t you know the most important thing is to be reserved and dignified? Don’t you think it’s very rude to touch a man directly?” Yan Wangchuan raised his eyebrows.

“I was too anxious just now.”

“That’s not a reason for you to take liberties with me.”

Standing nearby, Song Fengwan almost burst out laughing. As expected of Uncle Yan, he is indeed impressive.

Gao Xue’s face flushed red. This was the first time she had encountered such a person. Not only was he extremely stubborn, but he also spoke so directly and harshly. Wasn’t he deliberately slapping her face?

Actually, there were some unspoken rules that no one would say. But everyone knew that if they were exposed forcefully, it would be especially embarrassing.

“I am married and have a wife. Miss Gao, I hope you won’t do such a misleading thing in the future. Everyone in the industry knows that I have a bad temper.”

Yan Wangchuan’s meaning was obvious…

I have a wife. Get lost as far as you can.

“No, Mr. Yan, I…”

When Gao Xue wanted to explain again, Song Fengwan had already walked out and stood beside Yan Wangchuan.

“Song Fengwan?” Gao Xue obviously didn’t expect to meet her here. Other than surprise, there was also suspicion in her eyes.

“Teacher Gao, what a coincidence. You’re eating here too.” Song Fengwan smiled pleasantly.

“You…”

“Oh, I came out for dinner with my dad.” Song Fengwan smiled innocently at her.

“Dad?” Gao Xue almost fainted.

When she first entered the school, she had already checked Song Fengwan’s information. The information card only had her mother on it. From the looks of it, either she had lost her father, or her parents had divorced. How could a father appear out of nowhere?

At this moment, she recalled that people had said that when Yan Wangchuan married, his wife had brought along a daughter that wasn’t young. It’s Song Fengwan?

Why is this world so small?

Dad?

This form of address also shocked Yan Wangchuan.

He had been with Qiao Aiyun for so long, but Song Fengwan had always called him Uncle Yan. Even when he and Qiao Aiyun got married, it was still the same. He was her stepfather in name, so logically speaking, it wasn’t too much to call him dad. But Song Fengwan was not young after all, so some things couldn’t be forced.

Even if Song Fengwan called him Uncle for the rest of his life, he didn’t mind. But suddenly calling him Dad…

It made him feel uncomfortable.

His ears were slightly red, and his face was slightly red.

“She is Mr. Yan’s daughter,” someone reminded.

“Teacher Gao, what are you doing here?” Song Fengwan asked despite knowing the answer.

This time, not only was Gao Xue embarrassed, but even the uncles who came to propose a toast felt embarrassed.

His daughter was here, yet she had done this.

If you want to seduce Yan Wangchuan, you have to choose a good time. Now, it was dreadfully awkward.

“I was having a meal with some friends and found out that Mr. Yan was here. I’ve admired him for a long time, so I specially came to toast him. But I accidentally spilled wine on his jacket. I wanted to help him wash it and then give it back to him,” Gao Xue explained simply.

“Just pay for the dry cleaning fee. I’ll help him take care of his jacket.” Song Fengwan smiled.

Gao Xue was dumbfounded. She can use this move?

But with Song Fengwan here, Gao Xue really couldn’t say anything. In the end, she really transferred 500 yuan to her.

After dinner, Yan Wangchuan sent Song Fengwan back to school as usual.

Song Fengwan was holding Yan Wangchuan’s jacket in her hand and sniffed it. It smelled of alcohol. “There’s a dry cleaning place beside our school. I’ll show you the way in a bit, and you can just take the jacket to be washed.”

“Okay.” Yan Wangchuan still couldn’t calm down because Song Fengwan called him Dad.

“Why did you meet Teacher Gao just now?”

“The people who introduced her are the organizers of her design exhibition.”

Song Fengwan suddenly understood. Yan Wangchuan seemed to have mentioned it to her. “Then, just now, she wanted to…”

“She tried to seduce me, but I pushed her away.” Yan Wangchuan wasn’t a fool. He had been in the business world for a long time. If he couldn’t even see this little trick, he would really be stupid.

“Oh.” Song Fengwan thought he really didn’t know.

“I’m absolutely loyal to your mother.”

Full marks for his desire to live.

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded.

“Don’t tell her about this. She hasn’t been in a good mood recently, and she’s prone to letting her thoughts run wild.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Aiyun wasn’t young anymore. After she became pregnant, she had handed over many matters of the Jade Hall of Spring to Qiao Xiyan and focused on nursing her pregnancy. But she had stayed at home for a long time and didn’t have many friends in Nanjiang. So as time passed, she felt restless and irritable.

“Your uncle and cousin are coming over on Sunday,” Yan Wangchuan suddenly said.

“What?”

“Remind Fu Chen to restrain himself for the time being and not bump into a knife. At that time, before his father’s birthday banquet, he will have to hold a funeral for him in advance.”

Song Fengwan coughed twice. “Why are they coming here in advance?”

She had called Qiao Xiyan before, and they should have arrived in the capital the day before Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet.

“The father and son went out to buy blood stones in the northwest. I heard that the quality of the materials this year isn’t good, so they’ll end their trip there early and come here in advance.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan took a deep breath.

“Get that brat to restrain himself recently. Don’t really get killed by them when the time comes.”

Song Fengwan nodded and took out her phone to send a message to Fu Chen.

On the other side, Gao Xue was still in a daze when she returned to the private room after being ‘humiliated’ in public by Yan Wangchuan.

“Teacher Gao, Mr. Yan is such a person. He’s famous in the circle for having a bad temper, being difficult to deal with, and speaking harshly. Don’t take it to heart.”

“President Yan treats everyone the same. He’s never been someone who knows how to treat women gently.”

“It’s indeed too difficult to interact with him. However, the Yan family specializes in high-end customization and has a steady stream of customers. One business deal can last a year for them, so they don’t need to deal with people like us.”

“Many people in the arts are very aloof, just like his master. Old Master Qiao was also famous in the circle for being stubborn. He didn’t have many friends, but they were all life-and-death confidants. Actually, I’m quite envious of them.”

1

In this society, only by standing at a certain position could you do things without having to look at others’ expressions. In the end, you had to be capable.

“But I didn’t expect him to be so infatuated. He actually waited for more than twenty years until his junior sister divorced…”

Yan Wangchuan had too little gossip about him, and the only thing they could comment on was his marriage.

Gao Xue was in a daze and couldn’t hear what these people were discussing at all. She didn’t even listen to the mention of Song Fengwan’s mother’s family background.

At this moment, her mind was full of Song Fengwan’s smiling face.

When she and Song Fengwan were in the tutoring center, they had already had an unhappy relationship. She knew that Song Fengwan definitely had a background, but she had never expected her to be Yan Wangchuan’s stepdaughter.

My design draft was rejected by Yan Wangchuan. Could she be involved…

Has she already seen my design draft?

This person had a guilty conscience, so she naturally saw problems with everything. At this moment, she was really panicked, afraid that the matter would be exposed.

Should I wait and see, or should I strike first?

Her design drafts had long been revealed, and Song Fengwan was just an unknown person. This kind of thing naturally belonged to whoever revealed it first, unless she could prove that she had designed them first.

But with just a few drawings, the evidence was too weak.

Even if she had the Yan family behind her, unless there was solid evidence, no one could say who had plagiarized who.

“… Teacher Gao, what are you waiting for? President Qi is toasting you.” The person beside her nudged her.

“Oh, I’m sorry, President Qi.” Gao Xue hurriedly got up.

***

At this moment, at the Duan Group…

Fu Chen and the Duan family were collaborating on the development of the new district, so the investment was relatively large. Therefore, the directors of the various departments of the two companies gathered together.

The moment Fu Chen met Duan Linbai, this fellow patted his shoulder and said, “Yo, Third Grandpa is here!”

1

If not for the fact that he was in his company and wanted to save face for this little boss, Fu Chen would have kicked him.

“… Actually, the most troublesome thing about the development of the new district right now is the demolition problem. The government has designated the new district, but many of the old residents are unwilling to have it be demolished or are dissatisfied with the compensation, so they keep dragging things out.”

“Linbai, what do you think about this?” Duan Linbai’s father was also here for the meeting.

“We definitely have to tear it down. Otherwise, how are we going to build a mall?” Duan Linbai was speechless.

“This concerns the company’s practical interests. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Fu Chen is busy recently, so I think it’s better to leave this matter to you.”

Duan Linbai was dumbfounded. F*ck!

Who didn’t know that demolishing people’s houses was the most difficult? It would be fine if they only wanted money, but there were some households that refused to leave even after being offered ridiculously high amounts. Moreover, they couldn’t forcefully demolish the houses either. When they encountered unreasonable people, they couldn’t be rough. Anyone would feel that this issue was burning hot in their hands.

“Linbai, it’s already October. It’s best if you can settle this by the end of the year so that we can start construction next spring.”

Duan Linbai smiled bitterly. Are you really my biological father? Why are you throwing such a troublesome matter to me?

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him gloatingly. His phone vibrated, and he glanced at Song Fengwan’s message.

[My uncle and cousin will arrive on Sunday. Uncle Yan wants you to restrain yourself.]

Duan Linbai was just about to discuss this matter with Fu Chen when he turned around and saw Fu Chen’s worried expression.

F*ck!

I received a hot potato, yet I didn’t even show this expression. Who are you pretending to be pitiful for?
