When Boss Wan and Lu Xing arrived, Guan Yan's expression was still not quite right.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xing thought she was having a fight with Chen Huan.
Guan Yan shook her head. "Nothing," Chen Huan said. "You can talk in private later. I'm hungry. "
"Let's go eat," Boss Wan said, dragging her away.
Lu Xing and Guan Yan talked in low voices behind them. When they arrived at the private room, Lu Xing didn't look too happy.
"Let's talk when we get back. Let's eat first." Guan Yan poked him.
Boss Wan had already ordered the dishes and dismissed the waiter. "It's okay. You talk. We'll eat."
"You want us to leave right now, don't you?" Lu Xing asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "It's okay to tell you. Do you know Lu Han?"
"Your cousin." Boss Wan thought for a moment. "He's gay."
Chen Huan's eyes widened, but Lu Xing wasn't surprised at all.
"Since you've already looked into it, I won't say anything more. Guan Yan and the others saw that guy with the youngest daughter of the Xue family this afternoon."
Boss Wan looked at him. "What will you do if your uncle and the Xue family have a marriage alliance?"
"My twenty percent shares in the company will be even more insignificant."
Chen Huan noticed the change in Guan Yan's expression when Lu Xing said that.
"My parents died when I was young. The Lu family has been eyeing my shares for a long time. The Xue family has been talking about the marriage alliance for years. Now they can't wait any longer. "Lu Xing smiled sarcastically." As expected, they don't take me seriously at all. "
The dishes were served one after another. Boss Wan put some of Chen Huan's favorite food into his bowl. Then he said slowly, "You can marry a woman from the Xue family. That way, you'll have the support of the Xue family."
Lu Xing glanced at Guan Yan, who smiled back at him.
"If I wanted to marry someone, I would have done it a long time ago."
Chen Huan winked at Guan Yan. Guan Yan lowered her head and peeled a shrimp for Lu Xing.
"Even if you don't want to marry her, you can make it impossible for him to marry her." Boss Wan wiped his hands. "You don't need me to teach you that, do you?"
Lu Xing was stunned. Then he burst into laughter. "See? I only think about the Lu family. I didn't even think about using these tricks on them. But they don't see me as a family.. That's easy to say. "
"Then let's eat," Boss Wan said, shooting him an impatient glance. "Don't talk about that when you're eating."
Guan Yan smiled and said, "Yes, let's eat!" She gave Chen Huan a grateful look.
When they returned home that night, Boss Wan asked, "Do you think Guan Yan is a good choice?"
"What do you mean?"
"If you care about your friendship with her, I will have to reevaluate Lu Xing's value."
Chen Huan immediately understood. "Will it make things difficult for you?"
"No, in today's situation, he didn't choose the Xue family. At the very least, he values Guan Yan." Boss Wan thought about it for a moment. "You'd better give it another try. If it works, I'll help him leave the Lu family."
"You don't have to do this." Chen Huan was a little embarrassed. She knew that this would increase the chances of Guan Yan and Lu Xing being together. She would never allow Boss Wan to do that for her. "Oh, right.
Boss Wan pinched her cheeks. "Silly girl," he said. "You're going to have someone like that sooner or later."
"I barely have any friends. The only two I have are busy with their own things. Lu Xing is a smart man. I don't expect him to do anything for me, but at least he won't betray me. "
Seeing Chen Huan pouting, he smiled and said, "There's no rush. Let's wait and see."
In the blink of an eye, it was early winter. The weather in the capital was getting drier and drier. Chen Huan began to work overtime in the lab. She wanted to take an early annual leave. She only needed to finish the three projects on hand.
"You're working so hard. Are you going on a honeymoon?" She stayed until ten o'clock that night. Liu Rui was standing at the door.
"I'm going to the south. I don't like winter." Chen Huan didn't even turn her head. "Aren't you busy these days?"
Liu Rui walked to her side and picked up a test tube to play with. "My boyfriend is coming next month."
"Oh? It's not even Christmas yet! "
"He's here for business. He can stay with me until Chinese New Year." Liu Rui smiled, looking happy.
Chen Huan nodded. "Looks like you're serious this time!"
"It's not easy to find a good man. Take your Boss Wan for example. He's still holding on tight!" Liu Rui helped her put the beaker down. "By the way, I heard that Mr. Wan is in the real estate business. I wonder if he's interested in investing in a winery?"
"Winery?" Chen Huan didn't know what he meant.
Liu Rui was laughing so hard that the corners of her eyes were about to fly. "My boyfriend is a red wine merchant. He owns two of the three largest wine cellars. "
"I see... Then I'll ask Boss Wan later!"
Liu Rui grunted. "It's almost twelve. Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Right away. He'll pick me up at twelve."
At the end of the month, Chen Huan finished her experiment ahead of schedule. She greeted her supervisor and went home for Chinese New Year.
On the second day after she and Boss Wan returned to the island, news came from the capital.
"The Jiang family went back on their word. The engagement party has been canceled."
Chen Huan was looking at a dolphin on the edge of the pool. It was an injured dolphin that Wan Yi had rescued from the beach some time ago. It had been recovering on the island. When Chen Huan first saw the dolphin, she thought that Wan Si and Wan Wu were experimenting on it. She almost cursed them to death.
"Did Lu Hang do it?"
Needless to say, Lu Han's homosexuality must have been exposed. As for the process, she could ask Guan Yan about it later when she called.
"Ask the Lu family for an explanation. Otherwise, all cooperation will be canceled." Boss Wan sat beside her and watched Chen Huan's hand fondle the dolphin.
"How dare a fish touch my woman?" he thought.
"Sob, sob, sob. She's the one who touched me..."
"So you're saying that Lu Hang will be the one to take over the marriage in the end?" Chen Huan sat back on the recliner. "Is there no other man in their family?"
"Lu Hang is not a direct descendant of the Lu family." Boss Wan grabbed her hand and wiped it clean. "Direct descendants look down on the Jiang family."
Chen Huan's eyes lit up. "This is a good chance to test him!"
As expected, Guan Yan called her that night.
"He's been taken back. I can't get in touch with him." The voice on the other side of the phone sounded a little downcast. "Chen Huan, I think he'll compromise this time."
Chen Huan was not good at comforting people. "Since you can't do anything, then let him make the decision himself!" she said.
"That's what I think too." Guan Yan sounded like she was going to throw caution to the wind. "I've saved up a lot of money anyway. When the time comes, I'll go abroad and find a good man to marry. I can still live my life!"
As she spoke, a scream came from the other side of the phone.
"Guan Yan?" Chen Huan jumped. She was about to call Boss Wan when she heard a man's voice. "Chen Huan? I'm Lu Hang. "
"... You... Weren't you taken back home?"
Chen Huan had no idea what Lu Hang had done, but Guan Yan kept screaming on the other side of the phone.
"I escaped by myself," he said in a hurried tone. "I'll talk to you later. I'm hanging up."
Chen Huan held the phone for a long time, unable to react until Boss Wan called her.
"How long are you going to soak in the sea?"
"Ah!" Chen Huan quickly told him what had happened just now. "I think Guan Yan is being bullied."
Boss Wan's eyes darkened. "No, Lu Hang knows what he's doing."
"Then I'll call him again tomorrow!" She began playing with the little dolphin again.
The girl and the fish played in the pool. The little dolphin would cry like a baby every now and then.
Boss Wan stared at the fish coldly. "I'd better steam it..." he thought.
"Sob, sob, sob."
Boss Wan had pressed Chen Huan down on the bed and ravaged her several times before she heard the man say,
"Lu Hang must be doing the same thing."
She immediately understood what he meant. Then, she was flipped over by the man again and started a new round of moaning.
"Huanhuan! Huanhuan! "
Chen Huan was still half-asleep when Boss Wan shook her awake.
"What... What's wrong?"
"I'm going back to the capital to see Lu Hang. I'll be back tomorrow. Remember to eat when you wake up. Don't play with that fish in the sea all the time. You'll get sunburned."
Chen Huan nodded absentmindedly and went back to sleep. Boss Wan kissed her a few more times before he left.
When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
"Where's Boss Wan?" She looked around but couldn't find him. She ran down to the base to look for Wan Yi.
Wan Yi was practicing martial arts with those bastards. "Ah, the boss is back in the capital with Wan Twenty-Three and Wan Thirty-Three. Didn't he tell you?"
"He's back in the capital?" Chen Huan began to organize her memory. That seemed to be the case. "Oh, then I'll go to the lab."
"Sister-in-law, I have to watch you eat first!" Wan Yi followed behind her. "Otherwise, the boss will punish me again."
Chen Huan was munching on a fish obediently when Guan Yan called.
"Hello! Chen Huan! "
"This voice doesn't sound right..." Chen Huan snorted. "Did you find money? You sound so happy. "
"Lu Hang and I got married!"
"Pfft!" Chen Huan spat out the chicken soup in her mouth. "This plot is progressing too fast..."
"He's having a meeting with Boss Wan now. I'm packing. We're going abroad for a vacation!"
Chen Huan clicked her tongue. "Stop smiling. You're grinning all the way to your ears. When is the wedding?"
"I can't confirm that yet." Guan Yan sounded helpless. "The Lu family issue hasn't been resolved yet, and I haven't discussed it with my agent yet. Let's wait until after the New Year!"
"Anyway, congratulations!" Chen Huan congratulated her sincerely.
Guan Yan suddenly lowered her voice. "Do you know why Boss Wan is looking for Lu Hang?"
"I don't know why he's looking for Lu Hang," Chen Huan teased. "Don't worry. It can't be anything bad."
In Lu Hang's office, he stared at Boss Wan in shock.
"You said you bought it and invested it? Stop joking. "
Boss Wan's face was expressionless. "I never joke."
"But you're at a disadvantage." Lu Hang did not believe that Boss Wan would do that.
Boss Wan bought the twenty percent shares of the Lu family shares that he owned and invested it in the project that he and Boss Wan worked on together. Not only that, the shares would be counted as both of their shares.
"How else can you cut ties with the Lu family?" Boss Wan said faintly. "Since you've chosen Guan Yan, you can't go back to the Lu family. They'll suppress your share price immediately. So, sell it to me now. "
"Also, announce to the public that you're no longer the young master of the Lu family."
