Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Don’t Go, Trust Me This Time!

If it weren’t for the purpose of toughening up his son, Old Gymm wouldn’t have allowed the boy to associate with that Song Yunuan from Dragon Country.

He had gleaned that the so-called background of Song Yunuan was non-existent, and her family nothing distinguished. It was said she was merely a common country person.

The rural people of Dragon Country have nothing in common with the rural people of Country X.

They wouldn’t even make such a comparison.

They feel it’s beneath their dignity.

Because rural people of Dragon Country are synonymous with poverty.

Their people from Country X are landowners with vast tracts of land; of course, even those who work on farms earn an annual income that could match what a rural person in Dragon Country would make in thirty years.

Now tell me, is that comparable?

Especially their illustrious Gymm family, rarely condescends to mingle with such people.

But if his son insisted, he wouldn’t stop him.

Because he was a father who valued democracy.

The son was simply going through a phase of novelty, which would wear off and things would go back to normal.

To be worried, he wasn’t that worried.

After all, it’s normal for someone young to like new things, and he had heard that the girl from Dragon Country was quite beautiful.

But when he saw his son hurrying over,

Old Gymm, whose name was Hans Gymm, couldn’t help but suppress the smile on his face.

He was thinking about how to gracefully decline without hurting his son’s pride and to teach him a lesson all the same.

It was during these ponderings that Kurt Gymm rushed to Hans’s side, his face somewhat pale as he spoke, "Dad, you can’t go to West Canyon, Song Yunuan has analyzed it, there’s going to be a volcanic eruption there soon..."

Hans was momentarily stunned.

What did that mean?

A volcanic eruption in West Canyon?

This was the most absurd joke he had heard in his life.

He really just burst out laughing, then suddenly his expression turned grave; he was angry, "Kurt Gymm, you’re coming of age soon, you should not let a... country girl from Dragon Country cloud your judgment, to believe such an obvious and clumsy lie, you greatly disappoint me."

Kurt Gymm faltered for a moment.

This, even if Song Yunuan was exceedingly capable, but to predict a volcanic eruption?

Yet, shortly after, he strengthened his resolve.

Song Yunuan was not one to speak idly; if she said so, then it was highly probable. She treated him as a friend, and despite knowing that it could invite ridicule and mockery, she still informed him.

Such a person was truly admirable.

Kurt Gymm’s face turned red as he said excitedly, "Dad, Song Yunuan is a very, very impressive person, you don’t even know because you haven’t met her. She never talks nonsense. Please believe her this time, don’t go to the party, don’t go mountain climbing. If the volcano really erupts, it will be too late for regrets."

Hans frowned deeply, "Have you been brainwashed by that Song Yunuan? Whatever she says, you believe? You’ve always been an independent and discerning child. How could one trip to Dragon Country change you like this?

Kurt Gymm, you have disappointed me so much. I’ve made up my mind; I don’t agree with you bartering goods with that Song Yunuan, and it’s good that we haven’t signed the contract yet—everything is still reversible. You shouldn’t go to Dragon Country anymore. Go back to school and study properly, and eventually, take over my business..."

Kurt Gymm grew frantic. This was all agreed upon; a sudden reversal now, what kind of behavior was that?

Even in business, one shouldn’t act in such a fickle manner, backing out on a word—a trait that should not be found in the Gymm family.

Kurt Gymm said, "You can’t go back on your word; even if we haven’t signed a contract, we still made a verbal agreement. Dad, you can’t do this. And what I’ve just told you, don’t take it as a joke. Song Yunuan wouldn’t have come all this way to play such a prank on you. Please, just believe me this once. If we don’t go, it won’t be the end of the world, right?"

Hans chuckled bitterly, "What do you mean it’s no big deal? If I don’t go and they find out I trusted the so-called speculation of a country girl from Dragon Kingdom, your father being mocked and ridiculed will become an indelible disgrace in my life. Butler, take Kurt Gymm to school and don’t let him come back for a while. I’ll let him out after I return from West Canyon."

Before his words had fully faded, a butler accompanied by others hurried over and took Kurt Gymm to the side of a limousine.

The young Kurt Gymm’s face flushed with discomfort, a hint of red in his eyes due to his father’s distrust, lack of face given, and mockery of Song Yunuan.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have used another method to stop it.

But other than feigning a faint, he had no other method.

And his father was a medical practitioner.

Feigning a faint would have been seen through by him at a glance.

Otherwise, he would have pretended to faint earlier.

But before he had a chance to think of a way, the butler and two bodyguards grabbed him.

Without explanation, they shoved him into the car, pressing down on his shoulders so he couldn’t move a muscle.

Kurt Gymm was frantic, shouting loudly, "Dad, just trust me this once. It’s not good for you to go. Please, Dad, what could it hurt to trust me once? If you don’t want to tell the truth, just say I’m sick. I can pretend to be in the hospital these days. Dad, please, don’t go, trust me just once!"

But he was still sent to school.

The well-known local aristocratic school, following Mr. Hans’s orders, confiscated his mobile phone and other belongings.

Kurt Gymm had not expected it to be like this.

He couldn’t quite describe the taste in his heart; he even wished what Song Yunuan had said was wrong.

But for some reason, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Song Yunuan said was correct.

He couldn’t just sit here and await doom.

So, Kurt Gymm secretly slipped out and then ran madly in the direction of his home.

Seeing Kurt Gymm return unexpectedly, the old butler was at a loss for words, but since he had sneaked back, it wouldn’t be right to send him back.

After all, it was vacation time at the school.

Knowing his father had left, Kurt Gymm stood at the front gate, frantically pacing.

Finally, he still sneaked a car out, made quick preparations, and sped off in the direction of West Canyon.

But it had already been eight hours since Hans had departed.

Catching up was undoubtedly impossible.

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

After Song Yunuan had spoken about the matter, she put it out of her mind; she needed to consider how to manage her time.

At this moment, Song Yunuan was not focusing all her attention on trading gold and jewels. The situation with Kurt Gymm was changing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the Gymm family might disappear.

Song Yunuan first visited the clothing factory. Given it was winter, there would need to be a new factory built and a large number of workers recruited next year. She had already applied for the trademark and the clothing designs’ patents.

But in fact, these things were just so-so.

Once the market was completely open, knock-offs would emerge like crazy. Before you know it, after you release a product, knock-offs flood the markets.

The target audience was also quite extensive.

Then Song Yunuan went to her family’s shop, noticing the tidy storefront and two uniformed female clerks busy at work.

However, Song Yunuan didn’t interrupt because there were many people. It was orderly, albeit a bit noisy, showing that the business was indeed thriving.
