Chapter 1741 — Sun Jingyan's Secret
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"I see..." You Zhentian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Henceforth, in other matters, our Hidden You family can aid your Kang family in secret, and we can also refine some pills rarely seen in the secular world for you to sell, but you must never expose this connection!"
This way, it amounted to the Hidden You family finding a spokesman in the secular world — and skimming off a little silver besides. A win-win, by any reckoning.
"Naturally. When the time comes, our Kang family will form a marriage alliance with the Xiao family, and we will announce to the outside that we have the backing of the Xiao family and the Hidden Pi family. The Hidden You family will not be tied to this affair in any way." Divine Doctor Kang had not expected You Zhentian to truly grant the Kang family such benefits. In his heart, he now regarded his grandson Kang Jingming with even greater favor.
In truth, Kang Jingming had only asked on the off chance. They were partners now, after all; if he made a few more demands, whether they were granted or not, the Hidden You family would not do anything to the Kang family. So he might as well try.
Once the matter was settled, You Zhentian left the Kang household with his attendant, You San.
Meanwhile, Old Master Song reacted on behalf of the several families close to Wei Zhao — and over there, the Sun family's old master was just as eager to make his own response!
After Old Master Sun brought Sun Jingyan and Sun Yikai back to the Sun family, he convened a family council and announced two important decisions!
But would they dare? No. And so they all swallowed their anger and said nothing; toward the old master's appointments, they could only swallow their anger and say nothing.
The second important decision was that the family would no longer interfere in Sun Jingyan's marriage. She was to return to the family and could take appropriate charge of some of its businesses, and, together with Sun Yikai, serve as a liaison for the Cultivators Association!
Of course, Old Master Sun also hinted that Sun Jingyan's principal task was to cultivate a good relationship with Wei Zhao, and that as for the company in Donghai, there was no need to keep running it — selling it would do, since Sun Jingyan no longer needed to prove anything to the family.
At this decision, Sun Jingyan blushed a little, yet she was also overjoyed! At last she need not run away from home to start a company and prove herself. Within the family, she had likewise won a measure of freedom — so long as the family did not force her to marry someone she did not like, she would be content!
And for a girl to struggle out there in the world was truly too tiring. So Sun Jingyan gladly resolved to sell the company and devote herself to managing the family's business — and moreover, being sent by the family to make contact with Wei Zhao made her rather happy...
But once the happiness passed, Sun Jingyan suddenly froze. Why was she so happy?
Was it because the family had acknowledged her and granted her a measure of freedom — or was it because she could see Wei Zhao often? Could it be... that she had fallen for Wei Zhao?
Sun Jingyan felt bewildered. In the past, she had never once considered such a question; all she had thought about was how to escape the family's bonds and shake off Wu Chengtian's pestering. She had never had the time to think about her own love... But once her whole person relaxed, she could not help but ponder it...
Looking back, the way she and Wei Zhao had met was rather strange. The ever-arrogant Wu Chengtian had been put in his place before Wei Zhao, and that was the first time Sun Jingyan had been astonished by Wei Zhao! That a man could make a scion of a great house like Wu Chengtian eat humble pie, and even get the better of him by stealing his wallet — Sun Jingyan found it hardly conceivable!
When she asked Wei Zhao what he did, he actually told her he was a highway robber...
