Chapter 293 Acting According to Circumstances
Squeak....
A luxurious, imposing Rolls-Royce pulled up beside Yan Mingyu's Bentley.
"My dear daughter, we meet again!"
The window rolled down to reveal Liu Nanyan's mature, seductive face.
"Do we have a blood relation?"
Yan Mingyu furrowed her brows and asked coldly.
Ever since she learned of her true heritage, Yan Mingyu had even less reason to regard Liu Nanyan as her mother.
"Hehe, that's not important. Legally speaking, you are my daughter!"
Liu Nanyan pushed open the car door and got out.
Today she was wearing a tailored cheongsam that clung to her curvaceous figure, the smooth fabric seeming to merge with her voluptuous form. With every movement, she exuded a charm that could bewitch the heart.
The slit design of the dress revealed glimpses of her white, delicate legs that were bare, devoid of stockings.
At the age of forty, she resembled fruit on the branch in September, ripe and juicy.
"Don't flatter yourself. You don't deserve the title 'mother'!"
Yan Mingyu's disdain was evident in her eyes, unmasked.
"Regardless, I am still a member of the Yan family, yet you've always treated me like an outsider. I've come back to East Sea this time to take back what's rightfully mine!"
Liu Nanyan was as good as declaring war on Yan Mingyu.
The Black Dragon Society's Upper Ninja would arrive in East Sea in no more than two days, which bolstered her confidence.
"By the way, where is your top-notch, combative bodyguard? I heard he fell off a cliff. It's quite the karma, isn't it? Is he dead?"
Not waiting for Yan Mingyu to retort, Liu Nanyan continued on her own.
Honestly, she was a bit wary of Qin Yu. That guy was strong in a fight and impervious to the allure of women. Once, he even had the nerve to toss her naked from the second floor.
It had left her with a psychological scar, and she wouldn't have dared to be so brazen if he had been present today.
"Qin Yu is doing very well. He was discharged from the hospital yesterday! What, didn't get enough last time and want him to throw you down from the building again?"
Yan Mingyu's lips curved in amusement, the thought filling her with the refreshing sensation of drinking ice water on a hot June day.
"Hehe.... Do you want to know what I was doing on the night he came to my villa? I had just finished bathing and was stark naked. His eyes, they were hooked on me like hooks, tsk tsk.... almost spitting fire!"
Liu Nanyan smirked seductively, feeling no shame at all. Instead, she openly spoke of the night she was undressed after her bath, trying to stir up trouble between Yan Mingyu and that bastard Qin Yu.
"He must've wanted to see through the beautiful shell of yours and find out what kind of filthy heart you're hiding underneath?"
Yan Mingyu quirked an eyebrow and said.
Although, hearing Liu Nanyan say this did make her somewhat uncomfortable, she definitely couldn't get angry under these circumstances, or she would fall right into Liu Nanyan's trap.
After this was over, she would have to interrogate Qin Yu properly. He had seen Liu Nanyan's body; why didn't she know about it?
"Hehe.... Stop deceiving yourself. Is there such a thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish?"
Liu Nanyan chuckled lightly, knowing she had achieved her aim by planting a thorn between Yan Mingyu and Qin Yu.
Then, with a waist as supple and boneless as a water snake, she walked up the steps.
"Humph...."
Yan Mingyu snorted coldly and then proceeded inside with her two bodyguards.
The event was called the Donghai Chamber of Commerce's Autumn Summary Meeting, but it was actually a venue for networking and a show of strength.
The men were all spruce and sanctimonious, while the women, without exception, were dolled up and dressed to the nines as if they were princesses.
Holding champagne glasses in small groups, their faces were brimming with insincere, polite smiles, like wearing masks one after another.
"Yo, President Yan has arrived!"
"President Yan!"
Many members of the chamber greeted Yan Mingyu warmly.
"Mm!"
Yan Mingyu responded as the epitome of a goddess, dignified and gracefully nodding slightly.
Compared to the others' lavish dress, her attire was much simpler.
Wearing a blazer and a knee-length pencil skirt, her long black hair casually bundled at the back of her head, secured with a jade hairpin, she looked neat and efficiently refreshing.
Together with her aloof demeanor and stunning beauty, she instantly became the center of attention.
Standing at a net height of one meter seventy, plus ten or so centimeters of stiletto heels made her stand out like a crane among chickens.
Striding forward with her long legs, she made her way through the crowd and settled in an inconspicuous corner, decidedly low-key.
In the neighboring private room.
Through the crack of the door, Hong Yilong watched Yan Mingyu's plump and erect figure with a burning desire in his heart.
Behind him stood a young man dressed like a waiter in a vest.
"Liuyue, does that drug really work?"
After swallowing once, Hong Yilong turned and asked the waiter.
"Brother Long, rest assured, it's imported from abroad and really potent!"
The waiter patted his chest to assure him.
"This woman is highly vigilant, she definitely won't drink alcohol, so later we'll put it in the bottled water. Tonight, I am going to taste what the most beautiful woman in East Sea is like and see if she's different from other women!"

Hong Yilong had an evil smile on his face.
"Heh heh, then congratulations in advance, Brother Long!"
The waiter flattered him.
"Okay, follow my lead when the time comes!"
After saying that, Hong Yilong straightened his suit and walked out with a swagger. However, the band-aid on his nose added an element of comedy to his appearance.
After mingling with the members of the chamber, he made his way to his father, Hong Xiaowu's, side, seemingly ignoring Yan Mingyu's presence. His intention was to make Yan Mingyu lower her guard so she would drink the water laced with the drug more easily later on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been over a hundred years since the founding of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, and I'm honored to serve as the president this term. Of course, I owe it to everyone's support and trust. I won't say much more. Based on the company sizes, everyone will take turns to come on stage and summarize!"
Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, with strands of gray at his temples and an aura of authority, Hong Xiaowu stepped onto the stage. After a brief speech, he stepped down.
Following that, the host took a list and began to call out, "This year, ranked number one in the chamber is Four Seas Corporation. Could President Yan please come on stage to share and introduce her successful experience!"
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Below, the chamber members applauded warmly.
Four Seas Corporation was already a leading company in East Sea and had absorbed many assets from the Liu Family. Now, it was naturally far ahead of the competition, leaving them far behind.
"Thank you..."
Yan Mingyu took out the prepared materials from her bag, walked onto the stage, and shared the company's developments over the past year and future trends.
These were all standard procedures, and she did not object to them.
After about ten minutes, Yan Mingyu finished her summary and returned to her seat amidst applause.
After the other chamber members completed their summaries, the host picked up the microphone and announced, "Please welcome tonight's special guest, Ms. Liu Nanyan to the stage to speak!"
