The woman on his left was about thirty or forty years old, well-maintained, with some concealable schadenfreude and sarcasm in her tense expression:
“Oh, Fengqing, you are muddleheaded. Your father trusts you so much and entrusts you with such important things, but you made such a stupid mistake. Your father and I know that you are also busy with your career. If you are too tired, just tell us directly. Your sister is in the same school as Mrs. Xu’s daughter, she can come over too.”
The woman fanned an exquisite handmade fan and said quietly:
“Tell me, you gave Mrs. Xu orchid ornaments in front of everyone. It’s like slapping her in the face in public! Now, all the powerful people in Quanrong City are watching our family’s joke. The business offer to us has been completely ruined by you. You have always been thoughtful and careful in doing things, so why did you…”
When she said this, she paused and hinted at the man beside her as if Yu Fengqing did it on purpose.
As expected, the middle-aged man was so angry that he whispered: “You are still muttering something, are you afraid that others won’t hear or see the Yu family’s joke?!”
The woman sounded aggrieved: “Aren’t I worried about your business? I’m thinking of another solution…”
“Is there another solution? Didn’t you see Mr. Xu’s face when he left?”
Yu Shengjun was very depressed, knowing that today’s matter was over.
The Xu family was the leader in Rongcheng’s retail industry. Recently, they made another big project. All the companies under it – including the Yu family, of course, were eyeing this piece of meat, hoping to bid for it.
At this critical juncture, Mr. Xu’s wife held a birthday party.
Everyone in Rongcheng knew that this would be Mr. Xu’s second marriage. Mr. Xu loved this lady very much. If he could please this lady at the dinner and make her say a few good words of help, that would be more important than anything else.
Yu Shengjun attached great importance to this dinner.
Due to the special status of Mrs. Xu, he could not bring his two daughters together. The two sisters had been dealing with each other since they were young, and he was afraid of something unexpected happening after they arrived.
In the end, who he will bring becomes a problem.
Since the dinner was scheduled half a month ago, his wife and youngest daughter have been pestering him, but for the sake of the company’s interests and career, he decided to bring his eldest daughter to attend.
Yu Fengqing is now a second-tier star and has filmed several TV series. Although the status of a movie star and singer was still looked down upon by wealthy business circles, the most important thing was that his daughter was a lucky star.
As long as he took her with him from childhood to adulthood, Yu Shengjun’s business cooperation was always successful.
Those collaborators all like Yu Fengqing very much, and she can always accidentally poke other people’s interest.
Because of this, his little daughter cried and made noises, smashing two sets of his antique teapots, but he didn’t change his mind.
He was counting on Yu Fengqing’s lucky star system to please Mrs. Xu.
Unexpectedly, Yu Fengqing’s birthday gift to Mrs. Xu at the dinner party in front of the rich and powerful businessmen of Quanrong City was an orchid brooch!
She even said that she specially found a well-known foreign designer to hand-customize it.
Mrs. Xu’s expression dropped immediately. She didn’t even say any polite words and left with a sneer.
Before leaving, she did not forget to say to Shengjun: “Mr. Yu has a good daughter!”
Anyone who knows a little bit about gossip in the industry knows that even though Mr. Xu has such a good relationship with his current wife, he was even more vigorous when he pursued his ex-wife, leaving many good stories.
The grandest one was that when they got married, Mr. Xu bought an island and planted it full of orchids because this was his ex-wife’s favorite flower species, which made all the hot searches and news headlines that year.
Later, this vigorous love story ended with the two amicably divorced, and Mr. Xu remarried a year later.
Although he and the current Mrs. Xu were also very affectionate, they were no longer as high-profile as when they were young and rarely came out to show their affection.
There were still rumors circulating in the circle, speculating that Mrs. Xu may have intervened back then, or that Mr. Xu did not love Mrs. Xu that much at all……
Of course, those people only dared to talk about these things in private. Who would have thought that on the great day of Mrs. Xu’s birthday, there would be a silly girl giving orchids directly to Mrs. Xu?!
This was simply a slap in the Xu family’s face!
As soon as Mrs. Xu left the scene, many people couldn’t help it. They suppressed their excitement and looked in the direction of Yu Fengqing and the others:
‘Whose child is that? She is crazy. She took out Mr. Xu and his ex-wife’s token of love. Did you see how ugly Mrs. Xu’s face was when she left?’
‘The eldest daughter of the Yu Family Group is now appearing on TV. She became a star, She has many good shows. Do you know that Yu Family Group’s surname used to be Sun? This company used to belong to Mr. Sun’s family. Mr. Sun only had a frail and sick daughter, so he recruited a son-in-law but recruited a wolf. Mr. Yu swallowed the company as soon as the old man died.’
‘No, the lady next to him is his second wife. It seems that the lady’s situation is somewhat similar to that of Mrs. Xu.’
‘It seemed that Mrs. Sun… bumped into something on the spot, and she was so angry that she suddenly became ill and passed away. That was a tragedy. This seems to have happened more than 10 years ago. Miss Yu could remember it at that time. Could she not be resentful in her heart? I don’t think she stabbed Mrs. Xu on purpose to show her stepmother’s connotation, right?’
‘…I heard other wives talk about this young lady at home before, and I had a pretty good impression. She’s not so stupid to the extreme, right? ’
‘……’
They said it was a private conversation, but those whispering voices and eyes couldn’t hide it at all, making Yu Shengjun furious.
He looked at the daughter on his right with a fierce look and lowered his voice: “Fengqing, you are my good daughter. Is this how you help the Xu Family and your father? You hurt me!”
Yu Fengqing on the side looked pale and clutched the hem of her clothes, as if she hadn’t yet recovered from the blow she had suffered not long ago.
“No Dad… I didn’t mean that.”
“You didn’t? You took this job yourself. If I had known you would do this, I might as well have called your sister!” Yu Shengjun said.
The stepmother added jealously: “Yes, your sister and Mrs. Xu’s daughter are quite good friends. Even if they don’t help your father, they won’t be a hindrance.”
Seeing Yu Fengqing deflated, she felt refreshed all over.
Who allowed her to use the reputation of lucky koi fate to deceive her husband and greatly reduce her daughter’s chances of attending these high-class banquets? Now, people outside think she, Yu Fengqing, was the only daughter in the Yu family!
Now it was better, it can be considered a turn table.
Due to the heavy blow in her heart and the anxiety and pressure accumulated these days, Yu Fengqing looked at the disgusting faces of her gloating stepmother and biological father, and finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
She said almost indifferently: “If I come, this matter may still succeed. If I don’t come, Dad, do you think, Dad, you can promote the contract with the declining Yu Family Group? Besides, the Yu Family Group originally belonged to my grandfather. I am the most qualified person in this family to represent the company. Even if I don’t come, naturally it won’t be the turn of outsiders.”
Ignoring her father’s suddenly distorted face and his stepmother’s anger, Yu Fengqing stood up and left her family in embarrassment despite the strange looks from around her.
Sitting in the car, she collapsed and leaned on the steering wheel, not understanding what was going on.
During this period, her good luck disappeared little by little. She went from being successful in everything she did to now, when everything fell apart.
Some time ago, the first-line jewelry endorsement failed. It was clear that the brand had already seen her, but in the end, they chose someone else.
She also had troubleshooting for the magazine. She was trying hard to get into good posing, but the photographer insisted that her body and expression were stiff.
After it was posted, the fans were dissatisfied.
Every brand owner and designer who has seen her before said that she has a great image, overflowing with energy. Just standing there inspired them.
Whether shooting for magazines or posters, her casual movements can allow photographers to capture wonderful pictures……
There were also a variety of shows and auditions, both of which were full of disappointments.
In the past, any role she had her eye on would be a sure success, but now two directors in a row told her it would be pending.
Because her career had hit a wall one after another, Yu Fengqing could feel that the company’s attitude toward her had changed slightly. They began to arrange some low-end shows for herself and even wanted her to take on some roles in old idol dramas.
