Yu Anwan was speechless.
What the hell?
Before Yu Anwan could react, Wen Jin’s calm voice came through, “Earrings.” Wen Jin paused. “The pair of pearl earrings you always wear.”
Yu Anwan instantly snapped back to her senses.
It was the pair Han Qingqiu had left her. She had indeed lost it at the Zhou family’s banquet. Now that she thought about it, she probably dropped the earring at Wen Jin’s place when they were entangled.
Thinking it over, Yu Anwan quickly calmed down. “President Wen, you can send it to me by courier, and I’ll pay the postage.”
“Yu Anwan, I’m here to return your things, and yet you maintain this attitude?” Wen Jin asked directly.
“Then what does President Wen want to return the earring to me?” Yu Anwan asked.
“Come and get it yourself!” Wen Jin’s words were concise.
“You…” Yu Anwan gritted her teeth. However, she soon laughed out of frustration and said straightforwardly, “What’s the matter? Is President Wen looking for an excuse to see me?”
Wen Jin neither denied nor confirmed.
Both ends of the phone suddenly fell silent.
Yu Anwan wanted to hang up, but she knew that Wen Jin currently had the upper hand.
However, no matter how hard she tried, Yu Anwan couldn’t stay calm. But soon, she sneered and said bluntly, “Sure, I can get it from President Wen personally. But you need to bring Zhanyan out, then I’ll go there in person.” Since she was at a disadvantage, Yu Anwan boldly voiced her request.
She didn’t want to see Wen Jin.
She just wanted to see if Wen Jin would back down.
As for the earring, Yu Anwan wasn’t in a hurry. She knew that Wen Jin could use the earring to manipulate her, so he wouldn’t get rid of it easily.
Yu Anwan planned to wait until the Fragrance Competition was over before dealing with Wen Jin.
So, she thought that Wen Jin would refuse without hesitation. Yu Anwan was well aware that Wen Jin was very wary of her meeting Wen Zhanyan.
But the outcome was…
“Alright, I’ll send you the restaurant’s location later,” Wen Jin said casually.
Yu Anwan was taken aback. Wen Jin had agreed?
Yu Anwan found it somewhat unbelievable. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly grew cautious. She had a feeling that Wen Jin wasn’t someone who would easily comply.
However, before Yu Anwan could say anything, Wen Jin’s voice came through again, nonchalant. “You can also bring your daughter along, in case Zhanyan gets bored.”
His words sounded casual, but they made it impossible to doubt Wen Jin’s intentions.
“Wen Jin, what are you up to?” Yu Anwan asked, wary.
Wen Jin sneered. “Yu Anwan, didn’t you already figure out my intentions? Now you’re asking what I’m up to?”
Yu Anwan was speechless.
Before Yu Anwan could respond, Wen Jin abruptly hung up the phone. Yu Anwan stared at the disconnected call, seething with anger, and glared at her phone.
“B* stard.”
As she finished her silent criticism, Wen Jin sent the restaurant’s location.
Yu Anwan glanced at it. It was a well-known Sichuan restaurant in Jiang City.
It didn’t fit Wen Jin’s taste at all. A man like Wen Jin always preferred food as bland as his expression. Sichuan cuisine, known for its rich flavors, suited Yu Anwan’s taste perfectly.
Yu Anwan fell silent for a moment. She didn’t reply to Wen Jin’s message, and it seemed that Wen Jin didn’t mind.
Yu Anwan looked at the glaring “Darling” on her phone screen and without hesitation wanted to change the nickname.
Then, Yu Anwan shouted in shock, “Yu Xiaobao!”
Because Yu Xiaobao had locked Yu Anwan’s phone and set up a program that made it impossible for Yu Anwan to move at all. Yu Xiaobao understood Yu
Anwan deeply. In essence, unless Yu Xiaobao herself deactivated the program, Yu Anwan wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Unless Yu Anwan threw her phone away!
Hehe…
Yu Anwan directly sent a message to Yu Xiaobao on WeChat.
Yu Anwan said, “You have three seconds to restore my phone, otherwise we’re heading back to London immediately!”
After sending the message, Yu Anwan looked at her phone. It was as if her phone had suddenly come to life. The original contact name for Wen Jin had now changed to just “Wen Jin”.
As for the troublemaker, Yu Xiaobao, she didn’t even dare to reply on WeChat.
At this moment, Yu Anwan didn’t want to quarrel with Yu Xiaobao. She could deal with her later once she retrieved her earring.
Yu Anwan snorted and picked up her phone angrily. She changed the name “Wen Jin” to “Bastard”.
Just as she finished, her phone rang again. Initially, Yu Anwan thought it might be Wen Jin, but the unexpected caller turned out to be Zhou Shen. Yu Anwan managed to compose herself and answered the call. “Senior?”
“Humph.” Zhou Shen snorted, sounding quite proud.
Upon hearing Zhou Shen’s voice, Yu Anwan relaxed. She playfully taunted Zhou
Shen with a half-smile. “Has Senior been let out?”
“Yu Anwan, do you still have the audacity to bring up that matter?” Zhou Shen was so irritated that he almost cursed.
However, Yu Anwan continued to smile. Once her laughter subsided, she coaxed him, “Senior, didn’t you come to Jiang City?”
“Yes, I’m in Jiang City. I want to stay in the best hotel and eat the most expensive food. Get everything arranged!” Zhou Shen was quite direct.
“Alright, understood!” Yu Anwan was more than willing to cooperate.
Zhou Shen was finally cheered up by Yu Anwan’s coaxing, saying, “Wait for my call! ”
Yu Anwan didn’t say anything. They didn’t chat much. It was apparent that Zhou Shen had just landed. Glancing at the time, which was almost the same as her scheduled meeting with Wen Jin, Yu Anwan ended the call.
Wen Jin disliked tardiness.
Yu Anwan was well aware of that.
However, bringing Yu Xiaobao to meet Wen Jin wasn’t a realistic option.
Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, it was risky. While Yu Xiaobao bore a resemblance to her, a closer look, especially when seated beside Wen Zhanyan, revealed the nuances of their sibling relationship.
At least when Yu Xiaobao and Yu Dabao went out together, no one would doubt their sibling connection.
Wen Jin was inherently suspicious, making Yu Anwan all the more cautious about avoiding unnecessary complications.
In no time, Yu Anwan finished preparing. She looked at herself in the mirror without makeup and thought about how she was going to meet Wen Zhanyan. Yu Anwan still put on some makeup for herself.
In front of Wen Zhanyan, Yu Anwan always strived to maintain a positive impression.
Subsequently, Yu Anwan drove directly to the restaurant address Wen Jin had provided.
Exactly at noon, Yu Anwan appeared at the restaurant. The staff had been informed. Spotting Yu Anwan, a waiter approached with the utmost respect and greeted her, “Miss Yu, President Wen is waiting for you.”
Yu Anwan arched an eyebrow but remained silent. She promptly followed the waiter, heading toward the reserved private room located at the innermost corner.
The closer she got to the private room, the more her nerves intensified.
It wasn’t apprehension about meeting Wen Jin. It was the prospect of encountering Wen Zhanyan that made her jittery. Nevertheless, this unease was tinged with an undercurrent of anticipation..
