Chapter 159 My Fiancée Came Knocking
After a night of wind and rain, the city of Jiangcheng welcomed a brand new day.
The air was washed clean and was exceptionally fresh; even the breeze carried the fragrance of grass and trees.
Ye Yixian slept soundly last night and woke up this morning feeling refreshed, even walking to the garment factory with a lighter step.
Today, Thomas, a clothing merchant, came to the factory to discuss cooperation, and Dad specifically asked Lu Yuan to participate in the whole process.
After all, Lu Yuan's fluent English allowed him to communicate directly with Thomas without any obstacles, which not only eliminated the potential information errors caused by the translator Mike Zhang relaying messages, but also made the negotiations appear more professional and efficient.
The meeting went very smoothly, and the contract signing was almost unimpeded.
Thomas was full of praise for the garment factory's new sample garments, and the two parties quickly finalized a contract worth tens of millions.
It's worth mentioning that Thomas's daughter, Lisa, also accompanied them.
It was only during lunch that everyone learned that Thomas intended to train his daughter to become a fashion designer.
Lisa Thomas, who just turned sixteen this year, has been systematically studying fashion for nearly eight years. She has extremely high standards, and ordinary designs simply don't meet her standards.
But she showed a strong interest in the designs Lu Yuan had created.
Lisa's favor clearly played a significant role in the rapid conclusion of this contract.
It's easy to see that this foreign businessman is a complete "doting father" in private.
Before parting, Thomas patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder with a sense of satisfaction and earnestly reminded him: "Young man, talent should not be wasted. If you have an idea, you should put it into practice as soon as possible."
These words deeply resonated with Lu Yuan.
Whether he has a talent for the fashion industry is unknown, but he is definitely clear about the future development trend of this industry.
If one wants to become extremely wealthy and powerful in this life, there aren't many ways besides making money through information asymmetry.
Lu Yuan is not an omniscient genius after all; there are some areas he simply doesn't know.
For example, in the ongoing 2010 South Africa World Cup, he didn't even know which countries were participating, let alone make his fortune by betting on matches.
You can never earn money beyond what you know.
So, Lu Yuan began to secretly calculate which angle he should take to enter the clothing industry in this life so that he could seize wealth faster than others.
However, before the plan could take shape, a sudden storm shattered the peace.
Lin Kai's family actually tracked him all the way to Jiangcheng, along with his "fiancée".
……
Lin Kai's sister and his childhood sweetheart, Yun Duo, came directly to his door and stopped them while they were shopping.
Unable to cope for a moment, Lin Kai could only quickly send messages to Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe for help.
When Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe arrived, one man and three women were already sitting in the restaurant facing each other, and the atmosphere was very tense.
This was the first time Lu Yuan met Lin Kai's older sister, Lin Na, and his legendary childhood sweetheart, Yun Duo.
How to describe it?
They are indeed beautiful, but their beauty lacks distinctiveness.
What's most oppressive is the undeniable air of nobility they exude, an aura of wealth nurtured by money and a privileged environment—a stark contrast to the refined elegance that is beautiful yet detached from worldly concerns.
They also have a sense of being out of place, as if they've wandered into the mortal world.
The two sat there arrogantly, their eyes revealing undisguised contempt.
Seeing Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe arrive, their contempt only intensified.
"I thought some big shot would come to uphold justice, but it turns out they're just two little brats." Lin Kai's sister, Lin Na, couldn't help but sneer, her tone full of disdain.
"Hehe, we just turned eighteen, we're all adults now, not little kids." Lu Yuan chuckled and pulled out a chair to sit down, completely unaffected by the other person's aura.
The details of the matter quickly became clear.
After their heart-to-heart talk last night, Gao Ya and Lin Kai have completely opened up to each other. Although they haven't explicitly said it, they have already tacitly accepted the relationship.
When Kelina learned that her younger brother had come to Jiangcheng, she guessed that he was there to see Gao Ya, so she dragged Yun Duo over early in the morning.
I just bumped into the two of them on the street. They had a fight, and in order to save face, they chose to "negotiate" in a restaurant.
Lin Na's attitude was very clear: she was there on behalf of the Lin family to take Lin Kai back.
Currently, both she and Lin's mother disapprove of Gao Ya and firmly oppose the relationship; Yun Duo, as Lin Kai's potential fiancée, regards Gao Ya as a thorn in her side.
"In short, that's what the family means," Lin Na said arrogantly. "You are the heir to the Lin Group, someone who will do great things in the future, so you definitely need to marry a capable wife to help you."
As she spoke, she proudly grasped Yun Duo's hand beside her and laughed, "Our Duo Duo is the most suitable candidate. Lin Kai, it didn't matter how much you played around before, but now that you're at the age to talk about marriage, you should be with Duo Duo properly, instead of finding some... crazy girl to mess around with."
"Watch your mouth!" Gao Zhe was furious when his sister was humiliated like this, and he stood up abruptly.
Gao Ya was also so angry that her face turned pale, and she clenched her fists with gritted teeth.
"Ah Zhe." Lu Yuan raised his hand and firmly pressed down on the impulsive Gao Zhe, signaling him to calm down.
Lin Kai's eyes also reddened: "Sis, I won't allow you to talk about Ya Ya like that! She's doing very well now, and we're happy together!"
"No matter how much she changes, she's still just an incompetent college graduate!" Lin Na was furious, her voice suddenly rising. "Lin Kai, I'm doing this for your own good! Dump her and come home with me. Duo Duo is understanding and won't mind your messy romantic history."
"Yes, Kai-ge," Yun Duo immediately chimed in sweetly, softly echoing, "As long as we live a good life after we get married, I don't care what you were like in the past."
"Why are you doing this to yourself?" Lin Kai said, both angry and helpless. "Didn't I tell you? I only see you as a younger sister. There's no way we can get married."
"But I like you very much! And Sister Na and Auntie both like me. They all hope that I will marry you, and my family also hopes that we will get married!" Yun Duo looked at Lin Kai stubbornly, her affection deep.
"That's their business, it has nothing to do with me!"
"How could it be unrelated?" Lin Na retorted coldly. "You were born and raised in the Lin family; everything you eat, wear, and use is provided by the Lin family! We are the people who care about you the most in this world. We've watched you grow up; do you think we don't know what kind of marriage partner is more suitable for you? You and Duoduo are betrothed since childhood, and everyone is looking forward to your marriage!"
Every word Lin Na said was under the guise of "for your own good," but she never asked Lin Kai what he wanted.
With Lu Yuan and the others present, their numbers gave them an advantage, and she and Yun Duo toned down their words considerably. After all, making too much of a scene on someone else's turf would inevitably lead to a beating.
But when Gao Ya was all alone facing them, she didn't have so many people backing her up. You can imagine how nasty their words were back then.
Lu Yuan finally saw through Lin Kai completely; he was indeed from a prominent family, even a family that had been wealthy for generations.
The shackles of high society were fully embodied in him.
Lu Yuan was too lazy to watch their endless argument, so he simply got up and interrupted the farce.
He looked calmly at Lin Na and asked, "Do you think Ya-jie is inferior to Yun-duo? Can't she be with Lin Kai?"
"Nonsense." Lin Na proudly raised her chin. "Our Duoduo is the best. Not only is she gentle and considerate, but she can also provide Lin Kai with real help in his career in the future."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Yuan turned his head and his gaze fell on Yun Duo.
Yun Duo maintained her gentle demeanor and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I really like Brother Kai. I studied finance in college and even obtained a doctorate in finance abroad. If he inherits the Lin family business in the future, I will definitely help him."
"Hmm, that does sound like a very good candidate." If we only consider these worldly factors, Lu Yuan has to admit that Yun Duo is indeed superior in terms of "practicality".
Seeing this, Lin Kai was the first to panic, grabbing Lu Yuan's arm and jumping up and down anxiously: "Lu Yuan, whose side are you on?!"
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Lin Kai to calm down. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
It’s just a good show.
