Fu Li said, “Let’s follow the normal procedure. I want to meet her at the banquet.”

‘I’m going to take her home with our three children.’

The girl looked so much like Jian Yan. He had not taken a close look at the boys, but now that he thought about it, they were almost identical to the pictures he had taken when he was a child. They had to be his children.

They were born after that night five years ago.

But today was the first time he had seen them…

Fu Li’s heart ached when he thought about this. However, when he thought about how he was going to meet Jian Yan in two days, he revealed a serious smile.

‘Jian Yan, I won’t let you get away this time!’

In the villa.

Zhang Yue held Da Bao’s hand with her left hand and Er Bao’s with her right. She carried San Bao on her back and played with them while watching television.

Jian Yan had just come out of the shower and changed her clothes. Her eyes darkened. The corner of her mouth twitched as she said, “Yueyue, stop. Let go of these three clowns. I’m going to bathe them.”

Zhang Yue reluctantly complied.

“Your three children are so cute. I didn’t expect Fu Li and your genes to produce this. Is this what they call a strong union?”

“Stop spouting nonsense. You can give birth to one yourself. How’s your progress with Lu Ting?”

“Nothing much, just a simple friendship.”

“I want to go further, but he doesn’t. Although I’m the only woman close to him right now, I feel like I’m dispensable to him.”

Zhang Yue lowered her head and said dejectedly, “His sister, Lu Xue, is even more annoying. She’s like a brainless fool.”

“She’s still friends with your stepsister, Jian Wan. From time to time, she would badmouth you in front of me. I rebut her every time. Then, she would badmouth me in front of her brother… Luckily, Lu Ting didn’t react at all after hearing that.”

Jian Yan consoled her. “The more you talk to her, the more excited she becomes. Why don’t you learn from Lu Ting in the future and pretend you didn’t hear her?”

Zhang Yue wagged her right index finger. “That may be true, but I can’t help it.”

“I won’t allow them to badmouth you behind your back, let alone say it in front of you! Sister Wen thinks the same way. If Sister Wen hadn’t gotten married and was preparing for her pregnancy, Jian Wan and Lu Xue wouldn’t have dared to do that. You have no idea how many people fawn over them even with their terrible personalities.”

“Most of them are newly-married wives of some bosses… They abandoned their wives with whom they started their business from scratch to marry young and beautiful women. It’s almost becoming a trend. How ridiculous.”

“Oh right, Yanyan. If you want to attend that banquet, you might run into your sister and that bunch of flower vases. Why don’t I go with you so that they won’t bully you with their numbers?” Zhang Yue said seriously.

Jian Yan declined.

“There’s no need. I’ll go alone. Whether the contract is successful or not, I’ll try my best to keep a low profile.”

“If you go, you’ll attract attention. After all, you’re a big director now. If I’m not wrong, a bunch of people want to invest in your movie.”

“That seems true…”

Zhang Yue touched the ends of her hair and smiled awkwardly. She realized that she almost caused trouble and looked embarrassed.

Jian Yan knocked her head and looked down at her daughter. “Yanyan, go sit down and watch some cartoons. I will take your Brother Hong and Brother Yi to shower first. Will you be alright?”

“No problem. Go on, Mommy. But I don’t want to just watch cartoons. I want Auntie Yue to play with me.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yue immediately became energetic.

“Okay, Auntie will play with you,” she said and reminded Jian Yan. “That stepsister of yours is very disgusting. As long as she finds out that you’re here, she will definitely come and make trouble for you. If you can’t hold it in anymore, beat her up. I’ll help you clean up the mess!”

“Aunt Yue is so domineering!” Yanyan applauded.

Jian Yan was surprised by her daughter’s reaction when she heard the violent content, but she also felt emotional.

Zhang Yue didn’t think too much about it and continued speaking after receiving support.

“There’s also Fu Yuan. Although he’s engaged to Jian Wan, he hasn’t married her for some reason. He’s been dragging it out until now. You say you don’t care, but you seem to care. You think of the Jian Corporation from time to time. You’re very contradictory.”

“You came back this time to steal the Jian Corporation’s business. If Fu Yuan is biased and you don’t plan to ask Fu Li for help, it will be very difficult to get this business. Yanyan, you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you can’t get it, don’t be too disappointed. At most, you can find another chance in the future.”

Jian Yan replied, “Yes, I have confidence in my ability. As long as the Fu Corporation has the ability to sign the contract, they will definitely choose me. If I choose to sign a contract with the Jian Corporation, I could choose to do this with other companies too. Although the Fu Corporation is big, they’re not omnipotent overseas.”

“That’s right. Yanyan is the best!”

Two days later.

Jian Yan arrived at the address on the invitation alone.

She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and carrying a handbag. She was wearing an off-shoulder red dress, her black hair tied up high, revealing her snow-white neck. Her figure was graceful and charming.

The hotel hostess took the invitation from her. “Hello, Ms. Jade. Please come in.”

After she left, the hostess immediately contacted her superior.

“Ms. Jade has entered the venue..”
