The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 146 - 150: The Woman Who Married into a Wealthy Family (Part 10)
Chapter 146: Chapter 150: The Woman Who Married into a Wealthy Family (Part 10)
Yuan Qiran was indeed generous. Su Li had said she didn’t want any compensation, but he still had his assistant transfer fifty million into her account, along with a villa in the city already worth over a hundred million, plus various funds and stocks.
He didn’t care about face, did he? If word got out that the Yuan Family had let a daughter-in-law who hadn’t committed any major errors leave with nothing but the clothes on her back, it would be utterly humiliating.
Although Su Li had said she didn’t want anything, the moment she got the money, she secretly liquidated all the real estate and even transferred the fifty million in her account to an overseas account.
Then she took to Weibo to express her thoughts.
No sooner had she agreed to Yuan Qiran’s demands than she flaunted the end of their marital status on the internet.
Alright, she was just that shameless.
Su Li’s maneuvers had Yuan Qiran tearing his hair out.
"Boss, the old master and Madam have called several times, and the young master also called a few times on his own. The company’s board has also called, wanting to inquire... and there’s more..."
Yuan Qiran truly became furious, slapping everything off his desk to the ground, "Get me Su Li on the phone."
The assistant beside him spoke up tremulously, "Boss, we can’t reach Madam’s phone..."
"Great, just great."
He had never been toyed with like this before.
"Boss, Mr. Smith is on the line..."
Another assistant of Yuan Qiran was holding the phone with a troubled face, rushing in without even knocking.
At the mention of Mr. Smith, Yuan Qiran’s face tensed up, instantly calming his anger and taking a deep breath before taking the phone from the assistant.
"Yes... please rest assured, this will not affect our partnership..."
"The strength of our company is there for all to see. Are you really going to give up on our cooperation over such a trivial matter?"
The two assistants beside heard this and immediately tensed up.
With bitter faces, the project with Mr. Smith had been followed up on for a long time, and they were about to finalize it. They hadn’t expected something like this to happen at the last minute.
It was known that Mr. Smith’s greatest achievement was marrying his wife, and his favorite pastime was doting on her. Therefore, he also demanded that his business partners have harmonious families. This bizarre requirement forced many people to fake it, even if it was just to appease his preferences.
The Smith family held global influence, and they had initially rejoiced that their boss’s family seemed very content, with a virtuous wife and obedient children, and elder family members in good health. It was after much effort that they managed to edge out several other international conglomerates for this project.
But just when they were about to sign the contract, this scandal broke, and Mr. Smith himself called...
No need to guess, this deal was definitely off. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Just looking at the boss’s increasingly grim face would tell you that.
"Understood, I look forward to our future cooperation."
After hanging up, the once composed Yuan Qiran threw his phone to the ground in the next second, smashing it to pieces.
This wasn’t just a simple project issue. He had even given his word on this case in front of the old master, guaranteeing that he would secure it.
Before Yuan Qiran’s face could recover, the personal phone in the assistant’s hand rang again.
"Boss, it’s the old master calling..."
Compared to Yuan Qiran’s chaotic and ruffled state, Huayin’s situation in another corner of the city was no better either.
The substantial contract compensation sum was so large that even selling the flower shop would not cover it.
Fortunately, she still had a few good friends. Just when she thought of seeking their help, she found herself attracting a heap of trouble instead of borrowing money.
Her best friend, Xue’er, had just broken up with her boyfriend and was in immense pain. What was even more despicable to her was that Wen Hua, who seemed so respectable, took back the house, car, and some luxury items he had gifted to Xue’er after the breakup.
Now, let alone help her, Xue’er didn’t even have a place to stay.
A few years after graduation, Xue’er had never worked. Now, following the breakup, all she had was the expensive dress she was wearing and a few hundred dollars in her wallet.
Oh, and a suitcase containing a few inexpensive clothes she had purchased before graduation.
"Men can be so heartless, taking back gifts after a breakup. They don’t even leave you the clothes you wore."
All Xue’er could do was cry in agony, shaking her head and muttering repeatedly, "That’s not true, he’s not that type of person, something must have happened... I don’t believe he can simply discard our years of affection so easily. It must be his sister’s meddling, I’ll plead with them..."
"How can they be so cruel? My brother is still in the hospital, and my parents are unemployed at home..."
Huayin was aware of Xue’er’s family situation; her whole family was waiting for her to bring home living expenses.
"You can stay with me for now."
Xue’er was in a daze as Huayin led her to the entrance of a residential complex before she realized, "This doesn’t seem to be where you live?"
Huayin smiled sheepishly, "I’ve sold my house."
Xue’er: "I’m going to find them, they can’t do this."
"Let’s leave it for today; let’s go home."
"And your man? With things like this, he’s just standing aside?"
"I, I haven’t called him..."
Huayin lied. She didn’t want to admit that she had called him immediately, but he just hadn’t answered.
She had also seen the sensational news on Weibo and couldn’t deny the joy that welled up in her heart upon seeing it.
Then she called again, yet still received no answer.
She was panicking, fearing that Qi Ran had developed feelings for that woman after so many years together, and even more afraid that her son had formed an attachment to that mother and daughter.
"Let’s go see our senior tomorrow."
Huayin knew the senior’s boyfriend seemed to be a young master of the Li Family. Currently, Qi Ran wasn’t answering her calls, and she had no other way to contact the Li Family, but there should be some cooperation between the Li and Yuan Families.
However, before Huayin and Xue’er could seek her out, their senior, with whom they had a good relationship, came to them first.
"Ah Yin, I had no choice but to turn to you. I know you have some connections with the Yuan Family. Could you please ask him to help me get in touch with Ah Hui..."
"Senior, what happened to you?" The senior, normally frail and beautiful, was now dressed in a wrinkled dress that seemed unwashed for days, her pale face stained with tears.
"He, he called off his engagement, and then the Li Family forced him to go abroad, I... I can’t get hold of him..."
Like Xue’er, this senior had also been supported by her boyfriend since graduation. Suddenly losing her affluent lifestyle, she was engulfed in panic and deep anxiety.
But without contact, it was to no avail.
This delicate senior even tried to approach her boyfriend’s ex-fiancée, but she was turned away without even getting close.
Huayin’s modest little rental took in the second fragile young woman.
