Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 655 Can’t Afford to Lose

When Qian Anna met Qin Suyun, she was all smiles, as if all the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

She even told Qin Suyun that having Song Yunuan as a daughter-in-law was a blessing she had cultivated in three lifetimes.

Actually, that comment sounded quite unpleasant.

But Qin Suyun nodded seriously and with a smile as well, "Anna, you’re so right. Being able to be Little Nuan’s mother-in-law truly is the blessing I’ve cultivated in three lifetimes."

Qian Anna’s face changed.

She thought she had cultivated herself quite well, but she still couldn’t hold her composure in front of Qin Suyun.

She forced a smile and quickly changed the subject, no longer mentioning Song Yunuan.

Qin Suyun felt that Qian Anna was just looking for trouble without any reason, but she still mentioned this to Song Yunuan.

"It was actually all my fault at the beginning. Even though I knew full well that Huai’an had no feelings for her, I still harbored hopes. To Qian Anna, my hopes must have seemed like a sure thing, seeing as I am Huai’an’s mother after all. She harbors animosity toward you and Huai’an because I am partly to blame."

Song Yunuan: "Actually, even without her, there would be someone else."

Initially, Qin Suyun didn’t quite understand what she meant.

But then it dawned on her that she was probably referring to her son attracting many admirers.

Was that to say, without Qian Anna, there would be a Li Anna? Is that the point?

Qin Suyun chuckled awkwardly.

Song Yunuan embraced her shoulder, patted it, and then said warmly, "Mom, don’t worry about this. It’s really not much about you, it’s mainly because I am so outstanding that I arouse envy."

Qin Suyun pinched the cheek of her daughter-in-law, finding herself liking her more and more the longer they spent time together.

Song Yunuan knew that even if the plot hadn’t developed the way it did, how could someone like Gu Huai’an not have girls liking him?

If she said that there were plenty of beautiful girls in the world, but handsome young men seemed to be not as numerous, that would definitely be dismissed as nonsense by people.

But one can’t deny that beautiful girls are indeed more abundant.

For instance, if you walk down the street, cleanly dressed, pretty girls with good figures are simply more common than handsome and dashing boys.

Not to mention an exceptional case like Gu Huai’an.

Song Yunuan thought proudly that it was because her own light was too dazzling, overshadowing him, but in truth, if he were to stand alone, he really was one of those stunningly attractive types.

Song Yunuan didn’t want to discuss Qian Anna with her mother-in-law.

Because no right or wrong could be discerned from such discussions.

And people like Qian Anna really weren’t common.

In fact, she thought Qian Anna was not as good as Shu Xiang.

The Shu Xiang of the past seemed narrow-minded, jealous, petty, with various faults.

But when she said she would let go, she truly did let go, no longer entangling herself and genuinely moving on to live well with her current husband.

Any residual feelings or unfinished business?

Nonexistent.

And the Shu family did not feel that failing to establish ties with a prominent family like the Gu family was such a regrettable matter.

Frankly speaking, faced with such a situation, 99.9% of people would advise Shu Xiang, questioning why she couldn’t just be a bit more patient.

How long would the youngest aunt stay at home?

Besides, it’s normal for her to be pampered since she comes from such a good family background; which ordinary family can compare to that?

She has the conditions to be pampered.

Wouldn’t it just pass if she were a little patient?

As long as Gu Huaiming treated you well, wouldn’t that be enough? After a few years, when the youngest aunt gets married, wouldn’t everything be alright?

To marry into such a family, not to mention your own benefits, it truly lifts all those connected to you to higher stations.

Even your siblings benefit from your good fortune.

So, just on this point alone, the Shu family is much stronger than the Qian family.

The Qian family just appears like sore losers.

Qian Anna had to obsessively cling to her and Gu Huai’an without letting go.

It seems she won’t rest until she bites off a chunk of flesh, yet does Qian Anna really think she has the teeth for that?

Kurt Gymm called Song Yunuan to inform her that the investigation he was conducting had made progress and asked if Song Yunuan wanted to start operations?

Song Yunuan told Kurt Gymm, "No rush, I’ll make a trip next week."

After all, this was a phone call, and an international one at that; some things weren’t convenient to discuss.

Just like the last time with the ship, where everything was talked about vaguely, and details weren’t settled until they met in person.

Song Yunuan then paid a visit to Xia Bowen, this time at his home.

When she arrived, she just so happened to see both Xia Zhi and Xia Liying were home,

and both of them looked visibly upset.

Xia Liying had dealt with her boyfriend and was about to get married soon, but the issue with the house had caused some unhappiness.

The Xia family wasn’t what it used to be anymore.

Very few truly associated with them earnestly.

But neither was there anyone who kicked them while they were down.

Being somewhat distant was actually the best.

Xia Bowen hadn’t expected Song Yunuan to visit.

When Xia Liying saw the Song Yunuan in front of her, she was reminded of that young girl who used to whip them with willow branches.

So many years had passed, yet her appearance seemed to have not changed at all.

It was as if time moved particularly slowly for her.

But it had to be said, the young girl had grown up.

She entered holding things in both hands, speaking warmly with them.

Then, learning that Xia Zhi’s workplace had laid people off and he was one of those let go, Song Yunuan asked him, "What are your plans then? Are you looking for work at another company, or are you considering starting your own business?"

Xia Liying interjected, "My little brother is definitely not cut out for business. There are some factories hiring now, and that’s what we were just discussing."

And Xia Zhi looked at Song Yunuan with eager eyes.

Song Yunuan: ...

"You look at me without speaking; how am I supposed to know what you want?"

Xia Zhi scratched his head and told Song Yunuan, "Then I’ll just say it."

Song Yunuan nodded earnestly.

But she had already guessed what he wanted.

Sure enough, Xia Zhi said, "The year I spent working at Fanhua was the happiest time of my career. I want to go back, but I don’t know if there’s a place for me or if you’re short-staffed."

Song Yunuan said, "If you want to come back, then come back. How about this, you’ll start work again tomorrow. But you need to go through Xiaohua to reprocess your entry, as the company is now making contributions to various fees just like state-owned enterprises do, and your retirement benefits will be the same as those of state employees."

Xia Zhi was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

Xia Bowen, on the other hand, clenched his hands tightly.

At the moment, he really couldn’t guess what Little Nuan was thinking.

Was the past truly passed? Or did she have other intentions?

Anyway, it was better for his youngest son to have an opportunity rather than none at all.

Besides, as far as he knew, Fanhua was indeed hiring.

Working in a big factory wasn’t suitable for someone like Xia Zhi.

Having the chance to develop himself at Fanhua would only bring him benefits and no harm.

Then Song Yunuan said, "Why don’t you just assist Vice President Luo with the spring festival film project."

Xia Zhi loved this idea, and even Xia Liying looked envious upon hearing it.

She took care of Song Yunuan by pouring tea and arranging a plate of fruit, then tactfully led her jubilant little brother out of the room.

While walking, she told Xia Zhi to hurry up and tidy himself, not to be so slovenly; otherwise, it would reflect poorly on Fanhua’s image.
