Chapter 147: Meeting the Father-in-law? (Fourth Update)

"Why were you so happy when you came back from that phone call just now?" Wang Yun asked.

"Just closed a business deal," Yang Fan said with a smile. The four of them walked side by side. Xiao Yu and An Lan both looked at Yang Fan as if he were some kind of extraordinary figure. "Aren't you supposed to be unemployed?"

"You people from Tianning are really overbearing! Go invest in your own territory!" Wang Yun said. "Are you really planning to find someone to buy this entire building?"

"If you come back to Tianning with me, I won't come here anymore!"

...

"Wang Yun, does your husband’s family own a gold mine or something?"

Wang Yun laughed, and Yang Fan chimed in with a grin, "Beautiful ladies, do you have boyfriends?"

Wang Yun smacked him instantly. "Don't you dare prey on my best friends!"

"What? I’m just trying to introduce them to some guys who own mines."

"Then give me a whole stack of them!"

"No problem."

True best friends are rare these days, and Wang Yun’s two friends were certainly good ones.

The four of them went downstairs and got into a car. Xiao Yu and An Lan were shocked again; they hadn't seen Yang Fan and Wang Yun arrive in a car when they first met.

"What exactly does your husband do?" Xiao Yu and An Lan were becoming increasingly curious.

"He is the CEO of the Tianning Fanmei Film Group and the CEO of the Tianhai Fanmei Resort."

Xiao Yu and An Lan froze. No wonder Wang Yun was able to find Liang He’s account with just a text message; if the business sectors aligned, it was indeed possible to look that up.

"So, does that mean Liang He’s company ended up at the resort because you pulled some strings?"

"He doesn't know that. It was one of my husband’s associates who approached him, and upon learning he was my classmate, that’s why he was given the resort contract," Wang Yun explained. She and her best friends were truly open about everything.

"Who could have known Liang He was that kind of person?"

"My dear, he chased you for four years!" Yang Fan asked.

"What do you think? Who do you take me for?" Wang Yun glared at him. They had slept together on the very first day they met.

What a pace...

"So, if we were lucky enough to land those jobs after the interview, was that also you..."

"My husband’s associates have their hands in everything, but that's a good thing. At least you two can work together," Wang Yun said.

"I knew it! Why were we doing less work than everyone else but getting paid so much more? So we were using a backdoor all along!"

"Isn't that great? You spend your days playing on your phones and drinking water, and then you clock out. Unlike me, who is exhausted every single day!"

Xiao Yu and An Lan were speechless. They figured she must be doing this just to experience a different kind of life!

"I’m serious. When you two come to Tianning with Yun’er, I’ll introduce you to some wealthy heirs. You won't even need to work anymore!" Yang Fan couldn't help but interject. Beautiful women were a scarce resource; if he didn't act now, it would be too late.

"Stop trying to lure my friends to Tianning."

"This isn't luring; it’s helping your friends marry into wealth and soar to new heights."

"How wealthy?" An Lan asked.

"A net worth of over ten billion."

"Wow, then I’m definitely in!" Xiao Yu exclaimed.

...

The car drove for half an hour before entering a villa district, parking in front of one of the houses. Once inside, the luxury was evident.

However, Yang Fan thought it didn't look much different from the one Huo Xinxia lived in.

"Wang Yun, I want to stay here for a couple of days."

"Don't just say two days; you can stay here forever," Wang Yun replied.

"Really?"

"Of course. There’s too much going on in Tianning, so my husband has to stay there. I’m living here all by myself," Wang Yun said. She thought it was a great idea; she had been feeling quite bored living alone.

"No problem, I’ll handle the pick-ups and drop-offs! It’s a deal." Wang Yun was instantly delighted.

Yang Fan found himself abandoned once again. He found Wang Yun’s master bedroom and lay down, listening to the three girls debating which rooms to take in the hallway.

He waited for a long while, but Wang Yun didn't come over. Yang Fan felt like breaking down. Just come over and lie with me for a bit!

His phone rang. It was Xu Zihan calling to say she and Lin Xi had arrived. He thought about it and felt a pang of guilt for leaving Ai Xiaomei at home, so he gave her a call.

The girl actually had their dog "answer" the phone because she was too busy eating snacks. Yang Fan felt depressed; was he less important than snacks?

Still, as long as Ai Xiaomei could entertain herself and not cause trouble, she was a good kid.

Without realizing it, he drifted off to sleep. He felt Wang Yun come in and hugged her, but she started wiggling in his arms.

"Stop it, let's just cuddle and sleep for a bit. It’s the middle of the day."

"There’s no one else here. My friends went to report to the resort!" Wang Yun whispered.

"I still don't want to!"

"..."

Wang Yun kicked him in frustration and said, "Are you doing it or not? Make up your mind!"

"Give me some money, and I will," Yang Fan said with a laugh.

"No. You aren't on a mission; why do you need money?"

Yang Fan was on the verge of tears. Had they all conspired to collectively seize control of the finances?

Seven in the evening.

"I think this bedroom is a bit too monotonous. We should go take wedding photos!"

"Sure, let’s go the day after tomorrow! You promised to stay here in Tianhai with me for a few days! I even took time off!" Wang Yun said.

"Of course I’ll stay with you. And then during the Lunar New Year, you come to Tianning with me! I’ll send Ai Xiaomei back to my hometown for a couple of days."

"Deal!"

The matter was happily settled. During the New Year, Xia Yufei and Wu Qian would be going home, Xu Zihan would be heading back, Lin Xi would accompany her, Lin Ruo was going to the Women’s Academy, and Zhao Jing had already said she was going home—though she was likely going to handle some business.

So, he would be alone for the New Year; having Wang Yun accompany him would be wonderful.

After some more intimate moments, Wang Yun’s phone rang again. This time, it was her father.

"Dad!"

She answered, but her expression immediately turned to one of surprise.

"You and Mom are going to the resort? You'll be there in two hours? You're already on the way back to Tianhai?"

Yang Fan’s heart skipped a beat. He was in no mood for anything else. After hanging up, they both got dressed.

"It’s okay, honey, don't be nervous. My dad is a very kind person," Wang Yun said.

"How can I not be nervous?" Yang Fan replied.

They headed out to the car, driving straight to the resort.

"Do you think it’s okay for my two friends to be vice presidents of the resort?"

"Why wouldn't it be? In this family, whatever you say goes!" Yang Fan couldn't focus on that right now; his heart was pounding. He wasn't prepared for this—was he really about to meet his father-in-law?

Because of his nerves, he barely registered what Wang Yun was saying, letting it go in one ear and out the other, nodding mechanically to everything.

At the resort, by the afternoon, the people from Jingtian, the Han and Song families, and A-Jiu’s group from Tianhai had all arrived one after another. Xiao Yu and An Lan were now being led by Ye Bing; they were destined to be vice presidents.

For the first time, they saw so many wealthy people in one place! And they even spotted their own boss among them...
