Chapter 253 - The Anxious and Irritable Yu Family 1
North City, the Yu family
Previously, an instructor from Dayi City’s military camp suddenly made a scene at the Yu family manor just to rescue Gu Qingjiu.
Ever since that day, the entire Yu family had been in a state of unease.
First, someone took Gu Qingjiu away and the Li family had been constantly pressing them about the marriage. Even if a wedding couldn’t take place right away, they still wanted to rush everything just to throw an engagement party.
Once the media announced it to the world, it was the same as casting an idea in stone.
Otherwise, should the Li family withdraw their investments, they would lose several hundred million yuan of funds. The Yu family could either suffer a blow to their morale, a relatively small consequence or suffer a blow to their internal management… which could completely end up in chaos and fall. It could even lead to bankruptcy.
Secondly, they hadn’t properly investigated the instructor’s identity.
They only scratched the surface and identified him as a newly appointed Chief Instructor from Dayi City.
With that insight, his status might appear to be of no threat. But the truth is, he had the power to barge into the Yu family’s house and even had the gall to leave arrogantly. That alone left a traumatic impact on them.
That day, Yu Shaotian had rushed home and after hearing his subordinates’ report. He naturally was furious and wanted to know who that instructor was.
However, after he had spoken to a few other leaders to investigate He Niancheng’s position, all of them commented that Yu Shaotioan should adopt a smarter approach. He Niancheng was probably someone he shouldn’t offend.
It was because they couldn’t identify He Niancheng’s status, and that alone was enough for people to fear him.
He suddenly appeared in Dayi City’s military team.
He even brought guns to the scene and had the higher authorities’ support.
All of these were sufficient for the leaders to come to a realization.
Yu Shaotian had a good background in dealing with different kinds of people. He clearly understood the secrets that were hidden from plain sight.
However, he couldn’t believe that the second daughter of a lowly family actually had such a powerful person backing her.
To make matters worse, not only could he not threaten Gu Qingjiu, he still had to be wary that Gu Qingjiu might use that person’s authority to get back at the Yu family.
After all, looking at how she behaved, she clearly didn’t treat the Yu family as her real family.
“Hubby, how’s everything at work?”
A week had passed, and the trauma caused by the gun incident last week was slowly dissipating in Tan Yalan’s mind.
Since she didn’t suffer any physical harm, her usual arrogance gradually came back.
That night, the Li family spoke to Tan Yalan about the marriage again. Yu Shiwei was displeased and left for a party with someone else, and she even decided not to return home.
Tan Yalan felt anxious deep down.
Once Yu Shaotian returned, she asked him about things at work.
Yu Shaotian sat on the master seat and Mama Wu served him some exquisite dishes.
Even though the wane of their company was impending, their meals were still luxurious and excessive, as usual. Before the problem surfaced, frugal living wasn’t part of the Yu family dealings.
From the frown on his face, Yu Shaotian couldn’t hide his exhaustion. Because of things at work, he had been feeling anxious and irritable in the past few days. Looking at the various reports of his company, he also noticed many problems that rendered him helpless.
The only condition the Li family had before offering assistance would be to proceed with the wedding.
He felt as though this condition was tightly clutching around his throat, threatening the Yu family’s survival.
Because the crux to this issue was that Yu Shiwei disagreed with the marriage.
A wave of fatigue crashed over him as he picked up his chopsticks. He suddenly had no appetite to eat, and so he put down his chopsticks back on the table.
“What happened at work? Can’t you tell me? If this goes on any longer, it’ll be a huge problem for our company! The Li family won’t just let the wedding go. If we disagree, they’ll withdraw their investments!”
