Chapter 10: The Daughter of the Yan Family
That night, Yan Ruoxue indulged in three bowls of noodles before she left in satisfaction.
A black Maybach was parked downstairs of the villa.
After the meal, Qin Yu sent Yan Ruoxue off at the main door and saw her leave in the car.
Qin Yu remained on the spot for a long time while staring blankly in the direction where Yan Ruoxue's car departed.
At that moment, an unexplainable feeling stirred up in his heart.
"Could it be that I'm infatuated with her?" Qin Yu thought.
However, Qin Yu shook his head vigorously at the thought.
He reckoned that a divorcee like him was unworthy of an extraordinary girl like Yan Ruoxue.
...
Yan Ruoxue reverted to her usual aloof manner in the car while listening to her secretary reporting his tasks.
"Miss, the invitation cards are ready. We will be distributing them tomorrow," the secretary noted.
Yan Ruoxue nodded. Then she ordered, "Get some medicinal herbs tomorrow and send it to Qin Yu."
The secretary's expression turned glum upon hearing that.
"Miss, there is something in my mind. It is inappropriate, but I—"
"If you know it is inappropriate, then keep your mouth shut!" Yan Ruoxue interjected before the secretary could finish his sentence.
The secretary forced a smile and remained silent after that.
"Remember. The herbs must be of high quality. The older the herbs, the better," Yan Ruoxue urged.
"Yes, Miss." The secretary heaved a deep sigh inwardly.
He could not comprehend how did a worthless vermin like Qin Yu could win the heart of Yan Ruoxue.
...
The news of Jingdu's Yan family's investment in Jiangcheng spread like wildfire within the city.
At the same time, the upcoming banquet had made the headlines of Jiangcheng News.
All of a sudden, everyone in Jiangcheng was talking about the banquet.
On second thought, he decided to pick up the medicinal herbs he bought yesterday from the trash can.
With that in mind, he walked towards the main entrance of the residential area.
Right when Qin Yu was about to sift through the trash can, a black Bentley halted before him.
Following that, five men dressed in black suits got out of the car.
Yan Ruoxue's secretary was the one who took the lead.
Since Qin Yu had seen the secretary before, the former turned around and greeted the latter courteously.
However, the secretary put on a solemn face and glared at Qin Yu with disdain.
"These are the medicinal herbs Miss Ruoxue ordered to be sent to you," the secretary explained.
Following his words, the four bodyguards in black, each carrying a big bag of medicinal herbs, stood behind him.
Upon seeing that, Qin Yu was stoked and spoke up, "Please tell Miss Ruoxue that I'm extremely grateful I will definitely repay her kindness one day!"
"You will repay her?"
"How can an incompetent worm like you expect to repay it?" the secretary sneered.
Qin Yu furrowed his brows a little but maintained in a polite tone, "I might not have anything as of now, but it does not mean I will remain the same forever."
"Bahaha!" The secretary could not hold back his laughter after hearing that.
"Hey dude, I don't mean to deny your future possibilities, but even if you were given all the time in the world, what else could you achieve?" the secretary questioned mockingly.
"Will you become affluent? What do you aim to become — the richest in Jiangcheng or Chuzhou?"
Qin Yu frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The secretary snorted, "Do you even know the caliber of Miss Ruoxue's status?"
"I don't know," Qin Yu responded.
"But I do know that she is a good-natured person," he added frankly.
The secretary announced, "Well, allow me to grace you with her greatness, then.
"Miss Ruoxue is the daughter of the Yan family from Jingdu! She is the favored child in the family! On top of that, she is the most beloved granddaughter of Old Mister Yan!
"So, tell me. What gives you the right to get close to her?"
