Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 283 Can I say a few words?

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Can I say a few words?

Chairman Zhong had made his fortune with his first wife, who provided a sum of money and connections from her father.

Ten years ago, when his first wife passed away, he married his mistress just one month later.

They had already had a son, so Zhong Shaoqing went from being the eldest young master to the second young master, and later, he was diagnosed with super-male syndrome and even had a life on his hands.

Thus, they had no choice but to lock him away.

However, the will left by his first wife stated that Zhong Shaoqing would only be eligible to inherit her fortune on his twenty-fifth birthday.

If Zhong Shaoqing didn’t open the safe himself, everything was to be donated.

Chairman Zhong asked his favorite elder son, "What do we do now?"

This son was the child of his most beloved woman and his pride, certainly not a comparison to that madman.

Yet, the madman’s wish was to marry Shangguan Wan, a wish they had to fulfill. After all, they had to ensure his safe and happy survival past the age of twenty-five.

"That’s not hard to manage, right across from us there is a summer friendship camp being organized with Country X. Let’s arrange an identity for the second son, let me think, what identity would be good... Right, the identity of a sponsor. That way, he can naturally go to Beidu to find Shangguan Wan, and we’ll need a woman to stabilize him. Otherwise, if he can’t make it through three years, it’s all been for nothing."

Chairman Zhong immediately beamed, "That’s my clever boy. That damn Shangguan is just making excuses. Since the second boy likes Shangguan Wan, I’ll make sure that girl marries into the family, we’ve got to indulge his heart. Once he wakes up, you go and tell him, and then arrange for a few more people to accompany him, lest he causes any trouble."

The eldest young master Zhong readily agreed.

-----------------

Upon returning to Beidu, Gu Jin carried on as if nothing had happened, but he knew that Huai’an had called home.

These past few days, his sister-in-law seemed unhappy.

It must be because of Huai’an.

This time, Grandpa Gu unusually didn’t press for answers, just gave him several meaningful looks.

The elder brother also returned, probably he hadn’t had the chance to ask about Huai’an yet.

How to put it, Song Yunuan’s wish to marry into the Gu family is simply impossible.

But now it seemed Song Yunuan didn’t take it to heart, so those with dignity wouldn’t be the first ones to tear off this veil.

Especially since the sister-in-law was busy with the preparations for the summer camp.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Qian Anna finally waited for her grandfather to return and told Old Master Qian everything about her situation.

She didn’t dare hide anything and told him everything.

Including how she and Shen Yaru had proactively sought out Huai’an, only to be driven away.

She also mentioned that the car Huai’an had, was something that a girl called Song Yunuan could freely drive away.

Qian Anna, crying, relayed Huai’an’s harsh words to Old Master Qian, "Grandpa, let’s not bring up this matter again. Huai’an already has someone in his heart, named Song Yunuan. Although she’s a country girl, she’s very pretty, and Huai’an would rather not go home but run to Nanshan County Town for her, which shows just how much he likes her, so let’s not embarrass ourselves."

Old Master Qian replied indifferently, "No matter how talented Huai’an is, he’s a man after all. It’s fine for him to play around with a pretty girl, as long as you are the one who becomes his wife in the end."

Qian Anna’s heart skipped a beat but then uncertainly said, "Grandpa, can I really marry Huai’an?"

Old Master Qian nodded with conviction, "Definitely."

"Grandpa, how can you be so sure?"

"It’s not that Grandpa is confident, it’s that your Grandpa Gu has a weakness in my hands, and I won’t use it for anything else, but fulfilling my granddaughter’s wishes is still very easy," he said. Looking at his granddaughter, who was beaming with joy, he intentionally added, "Unless my granddaughter doesn’t like Gu Huai’an and doesn’t want to marry him!"

Qian Anna immediately blushed and said, "Grandpa, I... I like Gu Huai’an, and I want to marry him!"

Old Master Qian burst into hearty laughter, "There you have it, what else is there to worry about? Oh yes, Shen Yaru isn’t a threat, don’t take her seriously."

Qian Anna nodded, but then she thought of Song Yunuan and still uncertainly said, "Grandpa, that Song Yunuan seems extraordinary. I heard even Xia Bowen dares not provoke her. If she’s jilted, do you think she’d take it lying down?"

Would she resort to some schemes, like what Hu Xiaomei did?

If that’s the case, it would really be disgusting.

Old Master Qian said, "Xia Bowen doesn’t dare provoke her not because he’s afraid of her, but because he feels guilty. Moreover, Xia Xindong is a gold mine; at sixty years old, how many years can he continue working, especially after this incident, who knows? Would he dare to be so brazen in front of everyone?"

Qian Anna shook her head, "Definitely not."

"Right, that’s the logic. Even if he doesn’t think he’s in the wrong, he still has to show a repentant face to the public."

He paused, then continued, "But I have indeed heard the name Song Yunuan from quite a few mouths, some praises, some criticisms, but undeniably, she managed to enter the inner circles of the compound with that method. It’s quite a skill."

She’s a girl with deep scheming.

"So what should I do now?" Qian Anna asked anxiously. "Grandpa, you didn’t see the scene at that time. Song Yunuan made Gu Huai’an get out of the car, and he didn’t get angry at all, instead he spoke coldly to us. This shows that Song Yunuan holds a different place in his heart, unlike others."

Old Master Qian replied, "That’s simple, just think of a way to get her married off, right?"

"Ah, marry off to whom?"

Old Master Qian’s eyes flickered, "Shangguan Heng called me for help, said that Second Young Master Zhong had been sent by his father and elder brother to the summer friendship camp between Country X and the Dragon Kingdom as a sponsor, to come to Beidu. Actually, it was to fulfill his marriage arrangement with Shangguan Wan. Shangguan Heng is very fond of his daughter and went through several channels seeking help, trying to prevent Second Young Master Zhong from meeting Shangguan Wan. He even told me that they initially intended for Song Yunuan to marry Second Young Master Zhong, but it didn’t work out in the end."

Qian Anna stared blankly at Old Master Qian. There were such behind-the-scenes stories?

"Grandpa, I know about this friendship summer camp. The preparations are almost complete, just waiting for the other party to arrive. Will the camp be held in Nanshan County Town?"

"No, it’s in Beishan Forest District. What we need to do now is to get Song Yunuan into this summer camp. Thankfully, she meets the criteria. We just need to think of a foolproof way."

Qian Anna’s eyes lit up. This summer camp was not something just anyone could get into.

If you get in, it’s a lifetime of pride.

She nodded with understanding, "I know, have the Gu family or Xia family take the initiative to bring it up."

This is really going around in circles, isn’t it?

Many things can’t be solved just by knowing a Gu Huai’an.

Qian Anna thought to herself, Song Yunuan, you’re still too young.

And this very young Song Yunuan was at the Erdao River Village brigade headquarters, attending a meeting of all the villagers.

The main purpose was to convey the spirit of the meeting from the higher-ups, stressing the ’Five Stresses, Four Beauties, and Three Loves’, as well as preparing for the summer harvest and specific matters regarding the selection of civilized households in the village. There was a lot to discuss, and Brigade Leader Chu had been talking for an hour.

Then Branch Secretary Guan added a few words, and Accountant Li announced the grain distribution plan, which would be implemented the following day after the grain was delivered.

Brigade Leader Chu checked his notes, took a sip of water from his cup, and was just about to announce the end of the meeting when Song Yunuan, sitting in the crowd, stood up. With a charming smile, she asked Brigade Leader Chu, "Brigade Leader Chu, may I say a few words?"

Brigade Leader Chu spit out his water.

Staring at Song Yunuan with bulging eyes, he thought, you little girl, what do you want to say?!
