Chapter 609: Settled

Yan Siming angrily left the Yan family home and drove straight away. However, he stopped halfway.
He took out his phone and held it. His fingers pressed a few times, but he stopped. In the end, he threw his phone in the passenger seat. Then, he slammed his hands on the steering wheel.
He finally knew why Xiao Lingyu came to City Z.
She had applied for the development of Taoyuan Village, but the proposal was stuck. It was why she came to City Z.
He also knew that Xiao Lingyu had always wanted to keep a distance from him ever since she got married.
After her marriage, although the two of them got along as siblings, anyone could see that whenever Yan Siming saw Xiao Lingyu, his eyes would light up with affection.
Xiao Lingyu wasn’t dull. She had rejected Yan Siming several times. Yan Siming understood it, but his eyes belied his words.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyu would try to avoid him if she could. She tried her best not to get involved with him.
However, she would never expect that while she knew her boundary, the Yan Family would punish her on their own speculations.
Fate was crazy. Gong Tianhao was the first to interact with Xiao Lingyu, but they didn’t know each other.
Yan Siming was the first to get to know Xiao Lingyu. He even helped her several times.
Yan Siming had money, power, and looks. Logically speaking, he should be the one who could easily move Xiao Lingyu’s heart.
However, Xiao Lingyu had lived two lives, and she had just woken up from the pain of losing her son. Coupled with the scumbag’s betrayal, she didn’t care much about love. Yan Siming’s playboy attitude didn’t help either.
Later on, thanks to Gong Tianhao’s strong influence and selfless love, Yan Siming’s chances became even slimmer. His chance was zero after he found out about Gong Tianhao’s identity.
Plus, the contrasting attitude of Old Master Gong and Old Master Yan also proved a heavy block for Yan Siming. A girl could tell who was the better husband.
However, the Yan Family was too conceited to see that.
…
Xiao Lingyu, who was in the private room of Jun Hao Hotel, had a strange expression after hearing Yan Siming’s words.
She had never expected that the real reason for her project approval to be blocked was actually because of the Yan family.
“I’m sorry, Lingyu. It’s all because of me that your project was blocked!” Yan Siming was really guilty. Xiao Lingyu didn’t love him. Moreover, Xiao Lingyu was married to a husband who was even more outstanding than him. However, his family was still guarding against her.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “Brother Yan, this is what your father’s doing. I don’t blame you. Of course, I don’t blame Uncle Yan. After all, what he did was for your own good.”
However, Yan Siming shook his head and said, “Don’t need to comfort me. They didn’t do it for me. They did it for the Yan Family.”
Xiao Lingyu really didn’t know how to comfort him.
Xiao Lingyu knew that Old Master Yan didn’t like her… well, he didn’t like her to be his granddaughter-in-law. However, she didn’t expect them to interfere in her projects behind her back.
Although the Yan family had not done any real harm to her, she did not have a good impression of the Yan family at all.
However, she was rational.
The Yan family was the Yan family, and Yan Siming was Yan Siming. Moreover, the Yan family also had Yan Ruyu, who was kind to her.
Yan Siming said, “Lingyu, don’t worry. I will definitely settle the matter of your project application approval. Wait for my news.”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Brother Yan, I’ve already taken care of it.”
Yan Siming was stunned. “Huh?” How did Xiao Lingyu manage to do that with the Yan Family’s intervention?
But then, he thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Indeed. Xiao Lingyu wasn’t an ordinary woman. She was Gong Tianhao’s wife, the wife of the richest man in the world. Gong Tianhao could easily take care of such a small problem.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “I heard that my project approval application was blocked by Leader Fan. I found out that Leader Fan has insomnia and dreams, so I gave him two bottles of health wine.”
Yan Siming immediately understood.
If the wine cured Fan Shili’s insomnia, that would mean Fan Shili owed Xiao Lingyu a favor. Moreover, Fan Shili was really optimistic about the Taoyuan Village project. If it were really successful, it would be a great achievement for him. Naturally, he went with the flow and passed the project.
As for Yan Yiqing, when the dust settled, he naturally couldn’t do anything to him.
No matter how powerful the Yan family was in City Z, it would be difficult for him to extend his influence to the higher government agencies.
Moreover, the person in charge of the Yan Family was actually Yan Siming.
Although Yan Siming wasn’t the head of the Yan family yet, most of the power was already in his hands.
Yan Siming smiled and said, “Alright, as long as it’s settled.”
After saying this, he solemnly promised, “Xiao Lingyu, don’t worry. I guarantee that after this, the Yan family will never find trouble with you again.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, I believe in you!”
…
After the matter was settled, Xiao Lingyu directly returned to Taoyuan Village.
However, she did not know that her health-preserving fruit wine, which had never been promoted before, had become popular in a certain circle.
“Xuefeng, when will your friend’s health wine be delivered?” Seeing that there were only one or two cups left of the fruit wine, Mother Li could not help but feel anxious.
These days, she was already used to drinking a small cup of fruit wine before going to bed. Then, she would feel refreshed the next day.
Li Xuefeng rubbed his forehead. He couldn’t remember how many times he answered, “Mom, that friend said that the fruit wine is not ready yet. It will take some time before she can send them over.”
“But it has been so long already.” Mother Li said anxiously. Then she thought of something. “This isn’t right. A few days ago, I heard from Mrs. Fan that Leader Fan was drinking the health wine. The effects of their wine are similar to ours. Could they come from the same person?”
Of course, they did. When Xiao Lingyu went to find Leader Fan, she was prepared.
Li Xuefeng heard Leader Fan’s secretary mention that someone had sent a very ordinary fruit wine to Leader Fan, and it came in a mineral water bottle. At first, he couldn’t be sure if it came from Xiao Lingyu or not. Later, he noticed Leader Fan’s spirit was better than before. It reminded him of the same effect on his parents. Then, he heard that Xiao Lingyu’s project was approved. It was not until then did he realize the fruit wine for Leader Fan also came from Xiao Lingyu.
Mother Li rubbed her hands and said, “If she still has health wine to give to others, then she must have some in stock. She’s just giving an excuse to blow us off.” Mother Li said with certainty.
Li Xuefeng said with some helplessness, “Mom, it’s understandable that they can’t produce so many jars at once.”
“Xuefeng, call her again and ask,” urged his mother.
Li Xuefeng frowned and then said seriously, “Mom, she didn’t charge us for the health-preserving fruit wine she sent us last time. This time, we definitely have to pay for it.”
His mother frowned and said discontentedly, “What do you mean? You’ve helped her with a big favor, but she only gave you a small gift in return. She’s being stingy. Why should we pay?”
Li Xuefeng said very seriously, “Mom, this isn’t a matter of being stingy. It’s a matter of principle. Also, Mom, look at the effects of these few jars of fruit wine. Are they small gifts? The effects of the million-dollar health products are not as good as these.
“Therefore, if anyone wants the fruit wine, they’ll have to pay. I won’t make the call to ask them for free again.”
Mother Li frowned and thought for a moment. Then she asked, “Son, how much is this fruit wine? Then let’s pay for it ourselves.”
