Chapter 59: Her wedding, the bride is not her

Mrs. Qin thought of the purpose of coming this time and revealed a smile, chiding Qin Yan.

"You secretly registered for a marriage certificate with the president of the Gu Group. Such a big thing, as your mother, I cannot not show up."

"What are you showing up for? I've already registered the marriage certificate."

"But your wedding hasn't been held yet. Qin Yan, without my Qin family giving you face at the wedding scene, you will be looked down upon!"

Mrs. Qin walked to her side and whispered again, "Recently, your father's company has encountered some difficulties. We are a family; you can't watch your father's hard-managed company go bankrupt, right? I came this time to ask your husband to help. You must help persuade him."

Qin Yan laughed in anger.

Gu He'an's wedding, the bride was not her; why would she be looked down upon?

"Back then, I wanted to take one of my grandfather's keepsakes, but you all disagreed. I knelt down and begged you, and you even beat me and locked me up. Now, what does your Qin family's company have to do with me?"

Qin Yan thought about how, when her grandfather passed away, they were always worried that her grandfather had left her something important, so they wouldn't let her see her grandfather for the last time.

Even at the end, they burned her grandfather's clothes, bedding, and daily necessities, and wouldn't leave her one piece to remember him by.

"Qin Yan! Don't forget, you also have the surname Qin!"

Mrs. Qin didn't feel at all that they had done anything wrong back then. Qin family's old man was also a wealthy family of scholars, which had declined later, but there were still quite a few family assets. Her grandfather treated her the best; he would definitely leave good things to her.

She was just a girl who would eventually marry out; how could she take away the good things of the Qin family!

"Are you reminding me to change my surname? I will consider it."

"You..."

"Little Yan, you're here."

The door to the president's office was pushed open, and Gu He'an walked out, looking at Qin Yan.

Thinking of the wonderful experience last night, his eyes softened a bit more. He walked up to her and wanted to hold her hand, but was bumped away.

He narrowed his cold eyes in displeasure, looked at the woman standing beside Qin Yan, and asked in feigned confusion, "Little Yan, who is this?"

"My friend." Qin Yan introduced briefly.

Gu He'an smiled warmly, "This friend, how should I address you?"

Zhuang Sitian smiled fake-ly, "Surname Zhuang. Mr. Gu, hello. I've long heard of your great name."

Her gaze swept over Gu He'an. He was wearing a crisp suit and half-frame black glasses, looking gentle and elegant, but in fact, he was a human-faced beast of a scumbag!

"Miss Zhuang, it's lunch time. Let me invite you all to dinner."

"Yes, I'm so hungry. Qin Yan, let's go." Mrs. Qin glared at Qin Yan with a warning, hoping she would cooperate.

Qin Yan glanced at her. This posture of begging was truly annoying.

However, since she had come, she would definitely accompany them to finish acting out this play.

Arriving at a restaurant near the Gu Group, the four sat down.

Qin Yan handed the menu to Zhuang Sitian. Before Zhuang Sitian could open it, the menu was snatched away by Mrs. Qin. She said disdainfully, "Young girls really don't understand things. It's my son-in-law treating, so we should ask what he wants to eat."

Mrs. Qin pushed the menu in front of Gu He'an and said with a smile, "Son-in-law, you're too polite. Qin Yan has a bad temper. Being able to marry you is her accumulating virtue in her past life, and it's also the blessing of my Qin family. You should be more considerate of her."

Gu He'an smiled awkwardly, "Mother-in-law, you are too polite."

Zhuang Sitian rolled her eyes without any politeness. Qin Yan chuckled and patted her back to help her catch her breath.

"Remember, remember, you are an actress; you must have the cultivation of an actress."

Zhuang Sitian had indeed almost forgotten that she still had to act.

She had been angered into confusion by this old woman.

She showed a disgusted expression and said in an irritable tone, "Is the Gu Group very poor? Eating at a restaurant of this grade."

Qin Yan immediately said, "Tiantian, don't be angry. Just eat something casually; since we're here, let's eat."

Zhuang Sitian shook the pink diamond bracelet on her wrist and snorted, "It's only for your sake that I've wronged myself so much. I booked a spot at Mingyao Sichi for tonight. You accompany me there."

Gu He'an looked up at Zhuang Sitian. Mingyao Sichi was a famous private restaurant. The chef there was skilled, but they only limited it to three tables of customers every day, but the location was expensive and hard to book.

Yet this woman could book a spot casually; she not only had connections but also status.

"Time is tight, it was indeed my lack of preparation. Please forgive me, Miss Zhuang." Gu He'an apologized.

"Hey, son-in-law, you're giving her too much face. Little girl, you're here to sponge off Qin Yan's meal, and you still have so many demands? If you don't want to eat, then leave!" Mrs. Qin couldn't stand the little girl acting arrogant.

Zhuang Sitian stood up abruptly, pointing at her, "Old woman, I've tolerated you for a long time. If it weren't for Qin Yan's sake, I wouldn't give you, Gu He'an, any face, hmph!"

"Hey, Tiantian, wait for me." Qin Yan ran out of the private room after her.

Gu He'an looked coldly at Mrs. Qin. He had originally wanted to use Mrs. Qin to lure Qin Yan here, just to talk about the scientific research project, but he hadn't expected this old woman to speak so nastily.

He stood up to chase, "Little Yan, Miss Zhuang, don't be angry. Qin Yan's mother speaks a bit poorly; let's just ignore her."

"Heh, this kind of person affects my appetite. I can't eat anymore!" Zhuang Sitian lifted her chin arrogantly.

"Hey, but she is Qin Yan's mother, and I can't drive her away either." Gu He'an looked at Qin Yan with a difficult expression, "Little Yan, what should we do?"

Qin Yan looked bitter, "You should know, I don't want to deal with my family either, but she came looking for me, so there must be something."

Gu He'an nodded, "Yes, she proposed that I inject capital into the Qin family to save the Qin family's enterprise."

Qin Yan pursed her lips. Since Gu He'an knew Mrs. Qin's intention but didn't state his attitude, wasn't this waiting for her to come, so he could use this matter to threaten her?

"Then will you help?" She asked.

"You also know that the Gu Group's situation isn't good right now. I want to help, but I'm powerless." Gu He'an observed her complexion and probed, "Little Yan, yesterday, didn't you say you would give me a reply? If you can help me win this scientific research project, I will find a way to help you save the Qin family's company, how about that?"

Qin Yan looked troubled, "The project, the teacher has already decided on the Lu Group."

Hearing that it was given to the Lu Group, Gu He'an's expression turned even uglier.

Even if he couldn't get this scientific research project, he wouldn't let Lu Qianchuan have his way!

Qin Yan said again, "We are husband and wife; of course I want to help you. How about this: you first help the Qin family get through the crisis, but you take 60% of the company's shares, and then give all 60% of the shares to me, and I will find a way to persuade the teacher to give the scientific research project to you."

As long as she held the shares of the Qin family's company, if the Qin family wanted to find trouble with her, she would be able to suppress them!

"Little Yan, it's not that I don't trust you," Gu He'an negotiated conditions with her, "As long as I get the authorization for the scientific research project, I will help you deal with the Qin family afterward."

Qin Yan didn't speak immediately and tugged at Zhuang Sitian.

Zhuang Sitian immediately cooperated and opened her mouth, "It's just saving that small company of the Qin family. About how much money is needed? I'll have my father give you one billion, how about that?"

"..." Qin Yan stared at her.

She really dared to open her mouth—one billion!

However, if Zhuang Sitian put up the money, Gu He'an would lose his bargaining chip with her.

Would Gu He'an allow such a thing to happen? ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
