Chapter 890: 890, are you free tonight [First Update]

“Ashen.”

Next to the car, Yan Shunhua’s smile was somewhat stiff as she looked at Su Wanwan playing with her phone in the car, and asked with a hesitant voice, “Has Wanwan been well recently?”

“She’s been fine,” Huo Jingshen glanced at the little girl.

“Oh, she is called Wendy,” Yan Shunhua was about to say, then changed it to an English name at the last moment.

Huo Jingshen nodded.

Wendy immediately called out politely, “Hello, uncle.”

Huo Jingshen had not yet spoken…

“Wendy, call him brother-in-law,” Yan Shunhua corrected her.

Without any hesitation, Wendy said, “Hello, brother-in-law.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

The midday sun was scorching, just like the little girl’s brilliant smile.

She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a princess dress. I heard she was an adopted child and indeed did not look much like Yan Shunhua — it seemed that she was even wearing a hearing aid by her left ear…

A few seconds later, Huo Jingshen withdrew his gaze, “When did Wendy come to Nancheng?”

“Just the day before yesterday,” Yan Shunhua explained, “But since I’ve been at the film and television city all this time, I only had time to take her out today. Before this, the servants were taking care of her.”

After speaking, she looked back at the black Mu Shang again, “Ashen, is Wanwan still mad at me?”

“Give her some time,” said Huo Jingshen, “These things can’t be rushed.”

Yan Shunhua naturally understood this as well.

But…

Even though she had been frantically busy at the film and television city, her mind would wander whenever she had a moment to rest.

This matter was like a huge stone, constantly pressing on her chest, almost breeding sickness.

After Huo Jingshen left, Yan Shunhua still stood there.

Until the black Mu Shang slowly drove away…

“Mommy,” a tender girl’s voice rang out, “The sun is so harsh…”

Yan Shunhua snapped back to her senses, “Mommy will take you back inside.”

…

Entering the living room

Wanwan was sitting on the sofa, obediently holding a newly purchased doll, “Mommy, will you be with me tonight?”

“Yes, mommy will stay here tonight.”

“That’s great!” Wanwan smiled happily.

“Wanwan,” Yan Shunhua hesitated, “In the future, if someone asks, could you say your name is Wendy?”

“Why?” Wanwan tilted her head, puzzled.

In China, shouldn’t she use her Chinese name?

Yan Shunhua explained, “Because your sister, she’s also called Wanwan…”

“My sister shares my name?” Wanwan’s eyes widened.

“Yes…”

“…” Wanwan pondered seriously for a moment, “Okay then, I’ll let my sister have the name ‘Wanwan’.”

“What a good girl,” Yan Shunhua stroked her hair and smiled slightly.

In the afternoon, Gu Shaoting came to pick someone up from the villa.

Yan Shunhua had changed into a cheongsam and was about to leave but was stopped by Wanwan.

“Mommy.”

“What is it, Wendy?”

Wanwan was holding her hand, unwilling to let go.

Being in a foreign land, Yan Shunhua was her only familiar relative, and the little girl felt very insecure.

Yan Shunhua could only say, “Mommy needs to go to a meeting at the TV station, I’ll be back soon. Could you listen to the nanny and be good at home?”

“How long until you come back, Mommy?”

“Very soon. I’ll cook something delicious for you when I return,” Yan Shunhua answered.

Hearing this, Wanwan finally felt reassured, “…Okay.”

Although she didn’t want her mommy to leave, she knew that her mommy’s work was the most important thing, and she must not disturb her work.

…

As soon as Yan Shunhua got in the car, she closed her eyes.

Gu Shaoting looked in the rearview mirror, “Did you not sleep well last night?”

“I’m okay,” Yan Shunhua responded briefly with her eyes closed.

Gu Shaoting slightly frowned.

However, looking at the woman’s serene face, he turned on the air conditioning and silently drove off.

**

Thirty minutes later, Nancheng TV station.

Assistant Mary called, “Chairman, where have you reached?”

“Downstairs.”

“Come straight to the office building. There’s staff waiting downstairs, Director Su is already in the meeting room.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shunhua’s expression turned cold.

Su Yuntang, as if nothing had ever happened.

**

In the neat and stern meeting room, Su Yuntang sat there, again lifting the teacup to his lips.

After draining it, a nearby assistant hurriedly stood up to refill it.

Ever since he had sat down, Su Yuntang had been non-stop drinking tea, drinking tea, and more tea…

What is wrong with the boss today? Despite the air conditioning in the meeting room and today’s high temperature, it still took time for the tea to cool down; yet, in just a short while, the boss had downed two large cups of tea…

Doesn’t he mind the heat?

Something seemed off.

Just as the assistant put down the teapot, Su Yuntang again lifted the teacup to start drinking.

“Director, be careful, it’s hot,” the assistant quickly warned.

But it was too late, Su Yuntang frowned and then set the cup down.

Assistant: “…”

Mary asked, “Director Su, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Su Yuntang smiled.

Mary also smiled and continued to prepare the meeting documents.

About ten minutes later, footsteps sounded from outside.

Su Yuntang immediately looked up.

Mary quickly stood up.

The staff politely led the guests into the meeting room.

Yan Shunhua was wearing a short-sleeved, knee-length, modified cheongsam. Her mid-length black hair was styled into a bun. She was slender, with fine features and a gentle demeanor, yet her eyes were resolute, emitting an understated intellectual beauty.

The people in the room were somewhat taken aback.

They had only heard that the film company involved in this collaboration was powerful and led by a female chairman.

Working at the TV station, where they mostly dealt with various advertisers and investors,

they had met several so-called female chairmen, who mostly were not very attractive and tended to have forthright personalities. This was the first time they had seen such a beautiful and delicate-looking one…

And she was extremely young; reportedly forty years old, but with not a wrinkle in sight, she looked barely in her early thirties.

As they entered the meeting protocol, everyone watched with renewed interest.

Yan Shunhua not only spoke confidently but also pointedly, posing questions from uniquely challenging angles.

Although it was a collaboration intended for mutual benefit, she was not at all willing to suffer a loss.

Because the company was affiliated with America’s largest film and television group, many domestic television stations were seeking cooperation, including some provincial satellite TV stations.

Su Yuntang naturally also received the task from above, and the purpose of this meeting was to expedite the cooperation.

For this reason, concessions had already been made on many terms beforehand.

But at this meeting, Yan Shunhua proposed some new conditions.

It was nearly a step-by-step pressure, not giving an inch.

Su Yuntang found it somewhat difficult to endure.

…

When the meeting finally ended, Su Yuntang’s face already looked somewhat unpleasant.

At his signal, his assistant spoke up, “In that case, let’s conclude today’s meeting here. I will summarize both parties’ opinions and email them to everyone, please check your inboxes.”

Everyone got up.

Yan Shunhua walked up to Su Yuntang with a smile, “Stationmaster Su.”

Su Yuntang was startled and quickly stood up, “Director Yan.”

Yan Shunhua grinned, “May I have a word with you in private?”

The staff nearby all looked over.

Su Yuntang nodded and instructed his assistant to go ahead.

Gu Shaoting glanced at the two and didn’t say much as he and Mary left first.

The door closed, and suddenly only the two of them were left in the meeting room.

Su Yuntang asked seriously, “Director Yan, is there something you want to say?”

Yan Shunhua smiled, “Now that there are no outsiders here, do we really need to be so formal between us?”

Su Yuntang looked at her, his hands unconsciously gripping tightly under the conference table.

“It seems you’ve been doing well these years.” Yan Shunhua spoke again, “Congratulations, it looks like that incident from back then hasn’t really affected you much.”

At the mention of the old days, Su Yuntang’s eyes flickered.

He couldn’t hold back anymore, “Back then, why did you fake your death and leave?”

“It’s a long story,” sighed Yan Shunhua lightly, “Do you really want to know?”

“Of course,” blurted out Su Yuntang.

Yan Shunhua’s expression remained unchanged, “But I have to go home and be with my daughter. If you really want to hear it, maybe…”

She pondered for a moment, then said, “I’m not going back to the film city until tomorrow. Are you free tonight?”

Su Yuntang frowned, “Tonight?”

“Yes.”

Seeing that Su Yuntang seemed hesitant, she said, “Is Mrs. Su very strict? If so, then never mind…”

“Let’s make it tonight.”

Yan Shunhua watched him, a fleeting emotion quickly passing through her delicate eyes, then she smiled and nodded, “Good, shall we add each other on WeChat then? I’ll send you the address later.”

Su Yuntang nodded: “Okay.”

Even he hadn’t realized that from the moment Yan Shunhua began to talk, she had taken complete control of the conversation, and he, unconsciously, had agreed to everything.

Su Yuntang took out his phone, then opened the WeChat QR code.

Yan Shunhua stood up and approached.

A faint scent of daisies, mixed with a subtle hint of sandalwood, wafted towards him.

Su Yuntang couldn’t help but feel slightly bewildered.

Before he could react…

“Done.” Yan Shunhua said, having quickly walked away, she smiled and said, “See you tonight then, I’ll take my leave first.”

“…Okay.”

Even after Yan Shunhua’s figure had disappeared, Su Yuntang still stood in place, somewhat unable to snap back to reality.

…

The TV station finished work early.

By five in the afternoon, Su Yuntang hadn’t received any message from Yan Shunhua, so he could only head home first.

On the way, he frequently took out his phone to check WeChat.

Yan Shunhua’s Moments were only visible for three days, and since she hadn’t posted anything new during these days, there wasn’t much to see.

The WeChat name was simply the three characters for “Yan Shunhua”, and the profile picture was just a landscape photo; the bio was blank.

…

*Knock knock knock*—the door was suddenly knocked upon.

Su Yuntang quickly exited WeChat and looked up, “What’s up?”

Jiang Yi stood at the door, “What are you busy with? It’s time for dinner.”

“Nothing much.” Su Yuntang got up, “Just discussing some matters with a colleague.”

Jiang Yi smiled, “Has it been busy at the station lately?”

“It’s been okay.” Su Yuntang said, then led the way out.

Jiang Yi stood there, frowning slightly.

When she had pushed the door open earlier, Su Yuntang had been staring at his phone, as if mesmerized.

It didn’t seem like he was discussing work-related matters…

**

Su Xueqin’s heart surgery had been very successful, and he had received excellent care in the hospital recently.

It was nothing serious; he simply didn’t want to see Su Yanyan at home and stubbornly refused to be discharged…

In the end, it was Su Yuntang who personally went to the hospital to bring him back home.

However, the old man’s temper was still very bad, constantly scowling and very difficult to serve.

Su Yanyan was used to it, as ever since she was little, Su Yuntang had been partial, favoring Su Wanwan and not her.

On the other hand, Jiang Yi, as the daughter-in-law, still had to serve him well.

This was evident when…

“Dad, have some fish. The doctor said this is good for softening the arteries…”

“So many fish bones, are you trying to choke me to death?” Su Xueqin slammed down his chopsticks, “I think you’re just hoping I’d die soon!”

Su Yanyan pursed her lips.

Jiang Yi, swallowing her anger, said, “It’s my fault, let me pick out the bones for you.”

She carefully helped to remove the bones from the fish.

Meanwhile, Su Yuntang showed no reaction, simply focusing on his meal.

Finally having removed the bones, Jiang Yi smiled and brought the plate back in front of Su Xueqin, “Dad, the bones have been removed. You can eat now.”

Su Xueqin did not stand on ceremony and started eating with his chopsticks.

Jiang Yi: “…”

She pinched her fingers, struggling to maintain the smile on her face.

What else could she do?

Su Xueqin’s temper had always been like this. From the first day he’d entered the door, he had made it clear he didn’t like her as his daughter-in-law, never showing her any good expression in all these years.

She could endure it.

After all, she had tolerated it for so many years, and enduring it a few more… wouldn’t last many years either.

Suddenly a series of rapid WeChat notification tones rang out.

Because the dining room was quite quiet, the sound was particularly clear and distinct.

Jiang Yi watched as Su Yuntang took out his phone.

After a single glance, he set down his bowl and chopsticks, then walked out with his phone, “Dad, eat slowly, I need to step out for a bit.”
