Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 131: Difficult Problems

Faced with her father's sudden question, Yu Wan asked directly and frankly: "Dad, are you questioning me?"

There wasn't much dissatisfaction or blame in his tone, it was more like a search for facts.

Qiao Zhennan was quite annoyed by his daughter's rebuttal: "Just tell me honestly whether you have it or not!"

His voice was tinged with anger and confusion.

Yu Wan curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "So what if it is."

There was a hint of disdain in her eyes, and she seemed not to care about her father's questioning.

After a brief hesitation, the other party asked, "Did you take the initiative to negotiate the transfer with him?"

Qiao Zhennan's voice became a little cautious, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about this issue.

Yu Wan secretly admired the shrewdness of the older generation. If it were someone else, they might really be fooled by Wei Size's sudden appearance.

"Why would I go to him myself? He's not very generous."

She said it contemptuously, her tone full of disapproval.

"Don't play this game with me!"

Qiao Zhennan said sternly, "Just tell me what your private relationship is like? Do you have any intention of getting to know each other more deeply?"

His expression became increasingly serious, his eyes filled with coercion.

Yu Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean? What do you want me to explain?"

Her expression was a little alert, as if she had noticed something.

Qiao Yuan's voice trembled a little as he slowly expressed his thoughts: "I want you to marry Wei Size."

The Qiao family is really persistent.

At first, she was just allowed to get close to Wei Size, but now they want to talk about marriage directly.

Qiao Zhennan's plan was pressing forward step by step, catching her off guard.

"Dad, are you kidding me?"

Yu Wan asked in return: "Do you think our Qiao family is worthy of the Wei family?"

There was clear irony in her eyes.

"It's a different era now. Young people don't care much about family background."

Qiao Zhennan explained, "Otherwise, how did Wei Jingqing from the Wei family marry into a wealthy family?"

There was a hint of reluctance and anticipation in his voice.

“If young people don’t care, do the elders care?”

Yu Wan asked back, her words sharp and powerful, as if mocking this outdated idea.

Wei Size wants to take charge of the Wei family. Will he need a young lady of equal social status to help him?

If aristocratic marriages were entirely decided by their own children, Qiao Siyu would not be expelled from the family for marrying down.

Anyone who thinks so is naive.

Yu Wan smiled coldly and said sarcastically.

Her tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule, and she seemed to have no hope at all for this proposal.

Hearing her say this, Qiao Zhennan slowly said: "You should understand that being with Wei Size is the best way out."

His voice was low and firm.

He continued, "Since I've given you this opportunity, you should seize it."

Qiao Zhennan's words were full of unquestionable determination.

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what the conditions will be like for others."

There was a threat hidden in his words, as if he was giving his daughter an ultimatum.

Yu Wan thought of Qiao Susu's husband Luo Xuwen.

This thought made her heart sink, as if she had foreseen some possibility in the future.

Luo Xuwen is twenty years older than Qiao Susu. This age gap was not uncommon in the social context at the time. However, what is unacceptable is that he had been imprisoned for rape before they got married.

This past cast a shadow on their marriage from the very beginning.

In the days after marrying Luo Xuwen, Qiao Susu endured countless hardships and tortures until one day she lost an unborn child, and the situation began to improve.

Perhaps it was because the incident of losing his child touched a soft spot deep in Luo Xuwen's heart, or perhaps for other reasons, in short, his attitude towards Qiao Susu gradually became much softer.

Judging from her status and position in the Qiao family, if she does not accept Luo Xuwen this time, the next marriage partner Qiao Zhennan will arrange for her will probably be worse than the current situation.

Thinking of this, even though Yu Wan thought she was no longer under the control of the Qiao family, after hearing these words, she still found it difficult to suppress the nameless anger in her heart.

Who gave him the right to decide the fate of others so arbitrarily?

The anger surged like an undercurrent beneath the glacier, making Yu Wan feel as if her whole body was enveloped in a cold air.

She gripped the phone tightly in her hand, her knuckles even turning white from the force, but she knew that this was not the best time to vent her emotions.

"I see."

She forced herself to calm down and responded.

Next, Qiao Zhennan said a few harsh and threatening words from the other end of the phone, and then the connection was disconnected. Only darkness remained on the screen, and Yu Wan's face became extremely cold.

The next day, while busy planning an exhibition for the gallery, I suddenly received a call for help from a Hollywood decoration team.

The other side said: "Ms. Yu, the neighbors downstairs complained about the excessive noise and strongly requested that we stop the construction immediately."

Hearing the other party's urgent voice, Yu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Are we in the normal construction period now?"

The other party explained: "Yes, all the approval procedures have been completed and it complies with local regulations. However, the residents downstairs are still very dissatisfied. Unless you personally communicate and resolve the problem, we cannot proceed."

In desperation, Yu Wan put down her work and asked, "Have you tried asking my neighbor Li Yan to help coordinate this matter?"

"We've tried that, but they only agreed to have the owner handle it himself. Otherwise, the work will be suspended until a solution is found."

Yu Wan frowned and handed a painting to the assistant beside her as she spoke. "So, is there really anyone home downstairs during the day?"

After getting a positive answer, the problem seemed even more difficult.

"Alas, renovations inevitably create some noise that affects the neighbors, but we're working within a reasonable timeframe. Why can't they understand and support us?"

She was secretly thinking about the solution.

Finally, he decided to listen to the specific situation on the scene before speaking. "Excuse me, is Miss Li Yan with you now? I want to discuss this issue directly with her."

A mobile voice rang out on the line, "Yes, I'll have her come over to talk to you right away."

Soon after, a clear and pleasant female voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Miss Yu."

"Sister Tongtong, can you describe to me in detail what the situation downstairs is like?"

I remember that before the renovation started, she had already contacted the neighbors downstairs and said that she could arrange for them to stay in a hotel temporarily.

"I've already communicated with the neighbor downstairs in advance and asked if he would like us to help him book a comfortable hotel for temporary accommodation. However, he declined my offer and insisted on meeting you. I hope you can come in person."
