My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"A joke?"

Yan Mingyu's brows contained hints of anger, though her tone remained calm as she retorted slowly, "Uncle, aren't you aware of the numerous incidents that have occurred at home and in the company over the past six months? Without Qin Yu, our Yan Family would have long become the laughingstock of the East Sea!"

"I'm aware that your bodyguard has helped you quite a bit, and if you're grateful, you can give him money, but there's no need to marry him!"

Yan Zonghui said in a stern voice.

"You're just my uncle; I don't believe you should have a say in my marriage, should you?"

Yan Mingyu's tone grew colder.

Her own relatives usually hid behind the scenes, enjoying the spectacle without offering any help. The moment their interests were threatened, they jumped out at the first opportunity.

It filled her with disgust and disappointment to the core.

"Mingyu, an elder brother can act as a father figure, let alone me, your uncle! Moreover, this is everyone's opinion. If you don't believe it, ask in the family group chat whether anyone agrees with you marrying some little bodyguard!"

Yan Zonghui stood his ground firmly, adamantly opposing Yan Mingyu's relationship with Qin Yu.

"This is my own matter, and I will decide for myself!"

Yan Mingyu said impatiently, twisting her exquisite eyebrows.

"The Four Seas Corporation was established by the efforts of the Yan family. Since you're being headstrong and disregarding us, you can leave the company!"

Seeing Yan Mingyu's intransigence, Yan Zonghui's temper flared as he spoke angrily.

"As long as Grandpa is here, it's not up to you to say whether I leave the company or not.... dudu....."

Disappointed with these relatives, Yan Mingyu left a cold parting shot before hanging up the phone.

Right now, the experts from the Black Dragon Society were about to reach the East Sea, and her family opposed her being with Qin Yu. With his strong sense of pride, if he heard their words, their already ambiguous marriage could face even more crisis.

For a moment, Yan Mingyu felt utterly drained and exhausted.

After rubbing her temples with both hands, she slowly started the Bentley and headed for the company.

Upon arriving at her office, she had just opened her laptop when an email notification popped up.

The Donghai Chamber of Commerce?

Yan Mingyu clicked the mouse twice and opened the email, only to find out it was time for the annual autumn summary meeting.

Hong Xiaowu, as president of the Chamber, had sent an email to each member, requesting everyone to report at the Chamber headquarters by noon the next day, to share and summarize the developments of the past year.

Normally, this would just be a regular business discussion meeting, but to Yan Mingyu, it was undoubtedly a trap similar to the Banquet at Hong Gate.

If she didn't attend, she would give Hong Xiaowu an open and valid reason to accuse and trouble her. If she did go, with his backer Liu Nan, he would likely provoke her without any restraint.

To go or not to go?

Yan Mingyu stared at the computer screen, caught in a dilemma.

....

Meanwhile, at another location.

The villa rented by Qing Yi.

A phone call reached her mobile: "Hello, Miss Qing Yi, we have found the whereabouts of Qin Jianjun. He is staying at Huayuan Residential District, Block 3, Apartment 405."

"Alright, I understand!"

Qing Yi nodded and set down her phone.

"Miss, shall we go now?"

Zhao Heng, the driver responsible for driving Qing Yi, inquired.

"Let's go tomorrow. It's been twenty years; it's not urgent at this very moment."

Qing Yi said indifferently.

"Miss...."

Zhao Heng hesitated, holding back his words.

He had been with Qing Yi for nearly a decade now, and their relationship was almost like that of friends. He dared to speak truths that others might shy away from.

"Anything on your mind?"

Qing Yi raised her spirited eyebrows slightly. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

"The Family Head has had no other children, only you as an adopted daughter. If... I mean, if his own daughter was no longer around, wouldn't that mean, eventually, you would be the sole...."

Zhao Heng watched Qing Yi's expression carefully as he chose his words.

"Zhao Heng! How dare you!"

Qing Yi let out a cold shout, a gesture of her hand sending a majestic force that rattled the 1.8-meter-tall Zhao Heng, making him stagger backward continuously like a leaf in the wind.

"Miss!"

Zhao Heng immediately knelt on the ground, biting his teeth and saying, "If one doesn't think for oneself, heaven and earth will combine to destroy him!"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Bang!"

Qing Yi abruptly stood up and kicked Zhao Heng in his body.

The sound of rolling...

Zhao Heng immediately rolled out like a ball for several meters, but still looked earnestly at Qing Yi and said, "Miss, you saved my life. There are some things you can't do, but I can!"

"Zhao Heng, get out, and if you say one more word, I'll kill you!"

Qing Yi glared furiously, her whole body radiating a chilling aura of murderous intent.

"...Yes, Miss!"

Zhao Heng didn't dare to say anything more and quickly left Qing Yi's room with his head down.

"..."

Qing Yi narrowed her eyes and walked to the window with her hands behind her back, overlooking the direction of Capital City, no one knowing what she was thinking at that moment.

In this world, there are two things one cannot look directly at, the sun and the heart of man.

The next day.

Qin Yu was sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, slowly opening his eyes.

Having practiced the Jianghu's mental method all night, he still hadn't made much progress, only managing to slightly refine the vital energy inside his body.

However, he had just had his stitches removed and, though he could get out of bed to move around, he couldn't engage in a fight to the death with anyone.

This way, his combat power was actually a bit weaker than it was before he got injured. Not to mention going up against an Upper Ninja comparable to a Half-Step Pill Holding master.

A sense of crisis weighed heavily on Qin Yu's mind; in at most two days, the Black Dragon Society's Upper Ninja would arrive at East Sea. How could he increase his combat power in such a short time?

Ring ring...

The phone on the side rang out.

Qin Yu picked it up to see it was a call from his father, whom he hadn't been in touch with for a while.

"Dad!"

Qin Yu answered the phone.

He roughly knew why his father hadn't contacted him. His father probably felt guilty. His father's honest and timid nature led him to forgive Zhou Cuiping and even allowed Qin Yu to pay for her kidney transplant.

"Xiao Yu, Dad's in trouble. Can you pull some strings and help Dad deal with it?"

Qin Jianjun's nervous voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hmm? What trouble?"

Qin Yu asked subconsciously.

"Last night, utility workers came to our house to collect the electricity bill. We were out shopping. A gas leak occurred, which caused an explosion and seriously injured the utility worker. His family has already called the police, saying it's our fault for not turning off the gas and causing the worker's injury. They want us to compensate!"

Qin Jianjun said weakly.

"Oh, how much do they want?"

Qin Yu didn't take it too seriously; after having been around the wealthy Yan Mingyu for so long, his mindset had changed. Any problem that could be resolved with money was considered insignificant.

"One... one million!"

Qin Jianjun's voice trembled. He had never seen so much money in his lifetime.

But apart from his son, who else could help him compensate for such a large sum?

Who knew when the gas had leaked, and why did the utility worker just happen to come to collect the bill last night?

Was it just a coincidence, or was he just that unlucky?

"Give me an account number, and I'll transfer it over to you later!"

After jotting down his father's bank account number, Qin Yu sent a WeChat message to Yan Mingyu: President Yan, lend me some money. A gas explosion occurred at my dad's rental place, and there was an injury. We need to make compensation!
