Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Apologies are not a shield

She’s a commoner who merely wishes to love wholeheartedly and to hate valiantly.

"Mrs. Yan is indeed beautiful. She and young master Yan make a perfect match,"

Seeing his son-in-law being repudiated by Yan, Song Zhicheng tried to smooth things over.

"Of course!" Yan did not hesitate to accept Song Zhicheng’s flattery.

From the side, Zhu Qianying secretly rolled her eyes at him. This man, does he not realize that Song Zhicheng is just brown-nosing?

"Mr. Yan, I’ve specifically brought Haoming here today to apologize to you and Mrs. Yan!"

Speaking of apologizing, perhaps everyone present, apart from Qin Xiu, knew exactly why.

However, Yan coldly laughed. "Apologize? Chairman Song, you sure know how to joke. I don’t recall you having anything to apologize for!"

It has been a while since Fang Caiping mocked and scorned Zhu Qianying and her mother at the supermarket. An equal amount of time has also passed since Yan started sanctioning the Song Family.

In between, Song Zhicheng tried to arrange a meeting, but Yan ordered the front desk reception to refuse him on various pretexts.

The main reason Yan met with Song Zhicheng today was to make Zhu Qianying personally slap Zhu Haoming’s face.

He was not intending to let the Song Family off.

How dare they call his beloved son, Yan Han, illegitimate? He needs to put such people in their place now, or they’ll feel emboldened to act arrogantly towards him in the future.

As for what Zhu Haoming previously did to Zhu Qianying, he would naturally take his time to settle the score.

Or to be more precise, not only Zhu Haoming’s, but also Zhu Junwei’s, Zhu Junzhao’s and the whole Zhu Family’s accounts. Anyone who has ever wronged Zhu Qianying, he would help her take revenge, bit by bit.

Ji Huan once asked him if he needed help dealing with the Zhu Family.

But in Yan’s view, what the Zhu Family did to Zhu Qianyu was far less outrageous than what they did to Zhu Qianying.

So, it should be him, Yan Han, who takes the lead in dealing with the Zhu Family.

With just one cold hum, Yan had Song Zhicheng and Zhu Haoming shivering.

Before Song Zhicheng could say anything, Zhu Haoming spoke.

"Mr. Yan, when my mother ran into your son in the supermarket, she was unaware that Ying’er was his mother. That’s why she said those unpleasant words. She is deeply sorry. Actually, today I was supposed to come with her to make this apology, but we feared that you and Ying’er wouldn’t want to see her... I apologize on her behalf!"

Yan laughed again, "Mr. Zhu, if apologies were useful, world peace would have been achieved long ago. Besides, apologies should not be used as a shield allowing villains to harm others at will. As adults, we have to accept the consequences of our words and deeds!"

No mistaking it – he was making it clear that he did not accept Zhu Haoming’s apology.

Seeing his son-in-law fail miserably right off the bat, Song Zhicheng immediately stepped up.

"Mr. Yan, we understand. If we are in the wrong, we should bear the responsibilities. So why don’t you name a price, and let us have the bidding project? Consider it us buying a lesson. You can also think of it as you sparing a small enterprise like ours. After all, losing one project won’t have much impact on a big corporation like Yanhuang."

Not only Yan found it amusing, even Zhu Qianying found it strange. Why did Song Zhicheng think it was only natural for a big corporation like Yanhuang to take pity on a small enterprise?

As expected, the smile in Yan’s eyes became even more enigmatic.

"Chairman Song, I don’t need that money. But I’m not a charity either. As a businessman, it’s only natural to do business for profit. Why would there be pity in business? If I were to go by your logic, showing mercy to this small business today, then that small business tomorrow, in a year, Yanhuang will probably become even smaller than Song."

Despite being teased by Yan, Song Zhicheng didn’t get angry. Apparently, he was mentally prepared before seeking clemency. Even after hearing Yan’s words, he calmly replied.

"Mr. Yan, I know my request is a bit excessive. However, Yanhuang has never been involved in the related industry before. The investment must be significantly higher for you than for us. When you offset the income and output, that tiny profit might not even catch Yanhuang’s attention, right?"

This time, Yan stopped laughing, turning his head to take a glance at Zhu Qianying, who looked at him in confusion.

Yan didn’t say anything. After looking at her deeply, he reached out and grasped her hand, pulling it over to rest on his knee.

"Chairman Song, I am a businessman. I’ve never scoffed at meager profits. If my assessment department deems a project valuable, I will carry it out. That’s all there is to it!"

This time, before Song Zhicheng could say anything else, Yan continued.

"Of course, the main reason is to stand up for my precious son and my wife! That bit of money, I, Yan Han, can afford it. I don’t mind spending it, and I find it worthwhile!"

Zhu Qianying stared in astonishment at Yan, who openly admitted that he didn’t care about anything else. It was just because he had been in a bad mood due to a few insulting words said to him, leading to the retaliation against them. The flamboyant Yan she knew was back.

He didn’t hypocritically deny being petty. He did it, and he admitted it big and open.

He was never afraid of someone calling him petty; He also never compromise the people he cared about because of others’ words...

His candidness left Song Zhicheng and Zhu Haoming at a loss.

"Third brother, go back and tell our mother. Think thrice before you speak . If you’ve got something to say and you’re really desperate to say it, first consider your own ability. Doing something as foolish as trying to move a rock with an egg... well, the first time might just take a bit of money to mitigate, but try it again, and it may lead to your own destruction."

Since Yan had made his intentions clear earlier, after enjoying the show, naturally she should give a performance review, to honor director Yan, shouldn’t she?

The smile on Zhu Qianying’s face made Zhu Haoming and Song Zhicheng feel frustrated.

They looked at each other, their expressions complicated. They both knew, this trip had been in vain.

As Qin Xiu saw off Song Zhicheng and Zhu Haoming, Zhu Qianying directly said to Yan, "Thank you!"

Yan stroked her head saying, "What are you thanking me for? Whatever concerns you and our baby boy, concerns me too. We don’t need to be thanking each other for things concerning ourselves, do we?"

Perhaps it was because of being in the office, Yan seemed serious and solemn. His frivolous private persona, who always tried to show off and ask for rewards, seemed to disappear.

It wasn’t until Zhu Qianying was on her way home that she remembered that Yan was always very clear about things. He would only ask for rewards for the trivial things he did for her, asking for a light kiss or a bowl of noodles.

As for the significant things he had done for her and their son, he never bragged about them. Even when she brought them up, he would just brush them off lightly.

From handling the punks in M country to dealing with Fang Caiping, it was always like this.
