Chapter 75 - Cold Relationship

"Do you really want me to iterate what happened that day, Mother?" Yu Yan asked back, her tone was chilling cold.

Kang Mao Lan was about to ask Yu Yan whether she dared to do that or not when she recalled that she hadn't managed to recover all the emails Yu Yan sent to her friends. Over the years, she had managed to retrieve the recording and shut those people's mouth.

But as long as Yu Yan still had the original, this cycle will never end. She could easily ask for someone else to keep the recording for her. A digital copy was easy to make.

"You're really an ingrate, you…"

"Sister, do you really want to scold people in my party?" Kang Mao Yao stopped Kang Mao Lan from sprouting more nonsense. She might look harmless, but she hated it the most when people crashed on her party and destroyed the atmosphere with their drama.

She would not admit when it was she herself who crashed on theirs, though.

"Elder Sister…" Kang Mao Lan swallowed the words she was about to say and unwillingly shut up. Even though she still wanted to scold her daughter, she didn't have the heart to destroy her sister's birthday party.

"I have to leave or I'll not be able to finish my preparation. Sorry for being unable to stay any longer, Aunt." Yu Yan nodded at her aunt. It might not mean to help her, but she was glad that at the very least, her aunt was someone who knew how to act proper in front of other upper class people.

"Alright, take care."

Kang Mao Lan gritted her teeth. She looked at her daughter with hatred. "Come back home and bring that b*stard for us to see."

"You're not worthy to even look at my husband," Yu Yan emphasized on the word 'husband' to make sure that the people here wouldn't start gossips about her having illicit relationship. "When there's a chance, I'll bring him along but whether he wants to come or not, it's not my business."

"He's just an unemployed beggar, what right does he have to make me unable to see him?" Kang Mao Lan's face contorted in anger.

Husband?

Unemployed beggar?

By now, the noble ladies were already stunned. They might be at the lower class of the nobles, but they would always try to search higher connection. No one at the right mind would willingly search for a beggar on the street to be their husband.

"Is she serious?"

"That's not right. Why would she do that?"

"I heard that Yu Xin's boyfriend used to be her boyfriend. Could it be that she's searching for a much weaker husband so that her sister wouldn't snatch her boyfriend again?"

"That can't be it, right?"

"Wait, her sister snatch her boyfriend?"

"Yes!" Zhou Wei was the one who was willing to share the story the most. Seeing how she had the attention of other noble ladies, she began to spill whatever she knew about them. The fact that Bao Tu came with Yu Yan to upper class party in City A was not a secret.

In fact, there were some reporters who had the picture because they didn't exactly come in low profile at that time. 

Meanwhile, the reporters in this room were already preparing their cameras and recording. They were originally here just to give some formal report about the party and anything interesting inside. Who would have thought that they would get such a big scope?

These reporters warmed their hands as they prepared themselves to get as much as they could.

"Beggar?" Yu Yan began to wonder how her mother could even have such an impression when one just said unemployed. She shook her head. "Stop telling me what to do, Mother. He's not even here right now and you wish for him to just appear out of nowhere?"

"Just call him!"

"He's in City A," Yu Yan lied through her teeth. "The mine's right that I have is now his, so obviously he's now working to take care of it."

At the back, Lei Xing Yi's eyes flashed but she lowered her head. From all the people here, she was the only one who knew that neither Yu Yan nor her husband had any intention to interfere with the mine's business. The words were only lies, but she would rather pretend that she didn't know anything.

Kang Mao Lan felt like she would die out of anger. "Don't you think he's a gold digger who's only aiming at your mine?"

"So what, it's only a few thousand yuan per year." Yu Yan looked at her mother in amusement. The management was completely handled by the manager whom her grandfather assigned, so they didn't really have to work. Lately, the profit and cost from AC mine has been dwindling, which was why the profit per year were only a few hundred thousands of yuan. Divided by their share, Yu Yan didn't exactly get that much. 

Her own salary was around 3 to 4 thousands yuan per month. It was already more than enough for her to live by without worry as long as she was thrifty enough.

Oh right, Kang Mao Lan was talking about AB mine's profit share she had? Yu Yan didn't really care about it that much honestly. Even if she did get a few millions because of that small share, she didn't have plan to use it that much. 

Come to think about it, can she ask for some increase in salary now that she worked in the Capital City? She would try to ask later.

"Don't you think gold digger will find you more appealing considering that you earn more than a million of yuan per year?" Yu Yan arched her eyebrows and then turned around without even looking back.

Kang Mao Lan's face turned green in anger. She wanted to leave her daughter with nothing from Kang Family but unfortunately, her father didn't let it be. He still gave some of the inheritance to that useless daughter.

"You…"

"Mom, we're in public," Yu Xin tugged Kang Mao Lan's sleeve and looked at the other party carefully. She was internally hoping that her mother could learn how to act better because this way, it would only make it harder for them to bring Yu Yan down.

Her mother was a bit… thick faced and didn't think much before she talked. It was to the point that Yu Xin often thought that her mother didn't know any sense of shame.

"Yu Xin, she…"

"It's fine, Mom. She'll come to us if she's in trouble." Yu Xin showed a brilliant smile. "Sister is just a bit reckless."

Bao Tu, who was standing from the side, snorted. "She's a bit hot headed and can't think clearly. Someone like her who can't even have discipline and do her promise well is not a good person."

Yu Xin lowered her eyes and snickered internally. Of course her sister often late. She was the one who gave the wrong schedule to Bao Tu, so he would think that she was free but in truth, she was still working.

After all, the working hours in City A and City F could be a bit different.

"Let's not talk about her again, okay Mom?" Yu Xin asked in coaxing tone. She was good at hiding her real expression.

Kang Mao Lan looked at her sweet daughter and sighed. She patted Yu Xin's hand. "Yes, yes, you're right. There's no need to think so much about that ungrateful daughter. Let's go and have a talk with your aunt. If I'm not wrong, she wants you to work in Kangyu Company.

Kangyu Company was the company under Lei Man. He was the join owner with Kang Mao Yao and for the employee there, he allowed his wife to do whatever she wanted since their share was basically the same percentage.

Yu Xin smiled brightly. "Yes, Mom."

She was working in her father's company all this time but if she could work in Kangyu Company, it meant that her future would be brighter. Her father was not bad but compared to her uncle… he was a bit lacking.

At the back, Yu Zheng Tong merely watched the drama while drinking and shook his head. He would rather use this chance to establish more connection rather than worrying about his daughter.

Yu Xin was talented in business, but he still believed in himself more. 

"What a messy family," Zhou Wei commented to her friends. Her eyes were looking at the reporters and sighed. The news might be saying some untrue things because some of them were here and paid by Kang Mao Yao. 

"Don't worry, the troublemaker of the advertisement world is here." One of her friends pointed her chin at one direction. "He might be very annoying and can make you want to punch him whenever you see him, but he will not allow those under Tian Family to spread fake news."

Zhou Wei nodded and sipped her drink.. "That's good."
