Chapter 326: Making Lu Yunfeng and Fu Yang Her Boyfriends

"I don’t need one either." ’As long as you put in a few good words for me with a certain someone later, that’s all I ask.’

Nothing was set in stone yet, so Fu Ze didn’t mention Qin Sitong by name, but he believed Yun Zijin understood what he wanted.

Yun Zijin, of course, knew what Fu Ze was thinking. She didn’t say whether she’d agree to it or not.

Whether or not she put in a good word for him with Qin Sitong wasn’t important; what mattered was what Qin Sitong herself thought.

If Qin Sitong did end up wanting to be with Fu Ze, Yun Zijin’s role would be to pave the way for her as much as possible, to make their future path less difficult.

After all, according to Lu Yunque, Fu Ze’s mother had certain requirements regarding the family background of his future partner.

While Yun Zijin couldn’t turn Qin Sitong into a member of the old aristocracy overnight, she could turn her into Dijing’s most sensational entrepreneur.

The Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea was one way, and the Nourishing and Anti-Hair Loss Ginger Tea was another.

Combined with the original Wangyou Milk Tea, Qin Sitong was set to become Dijing’s most sought-after female boss for a long time to come.

As for Yun Zijin herself, she was only ever interested in being a hands-off boss.

"If you don’t want them, I’ll give them to Sheng Yang and the others. I’m sure they’ll love them."

Of course, the gifts for Sheng Yang’s group would be different from the gifts for Sheng Hao and Fu Ze; they would be tailored to the recipients.

"That’s fine. After all, the younger ones did help out."

Since Yun Zijin wanted to give thank-you gifts to Sheng Yang and the others, Sheng Hao didn’t stop her.

Fu Ze also feigned indifference, completely unaware of what kind of thank-you gift he had just refused.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tian and Cen Mulin were being watched closely by Sheng Yang and his three companions, making it impossible for them to execute their plan.

The two later tried to split up, but with four guys on Sheng Yang’s side, they could split up too, resulting in a two-on-one situation for each of them.

"Little brother Fu Yang, you’ve been following me all this time. Don’t tell me you have a crush on me?"

Unable to shake them off, Cen Mulin said something that made both Fu Yang and Lu Yunfeng instinctively take a step back.

’Like her?’

’Is she delusional? Even if we were to fall for Sheng Tian, we would never, ever fall for her.’

’It wasn’t as if we didn’t know about her past, chasing Lu Yunque abroad and all the things she got up to over there.’

’She claimed to be in love with Lu Yunque, but her private life was so messy that even we had to shake our heads in disapproval.’

’It was one thing to fool outsiders, but trying to fool us? She was dreaming.’

"Well? If you don’t have a crush on me, then why have you been following me around all night at this banquet?"

"Even though I’m in love with President Xiao Lu, if you two want to be my boyfriends, I wouldn’t be opposed."

Cen Mulin advanced on them step by step, a brilliant smile on her face, but to Fu Yang and Lu Yunfeng, she looked like a cackling witch.

"Cen Mulin, if you don’t want the Cen Family to go bankrupt tomorrow, I suggest you behave yourself!"

Lu Yunfeng stood his ground, and his words successfully halted Cen Mulin’s advance.

"It’s fine. With you as my boyfriends, I’m sure the Cen Family won’t fall."

What Cen Mulin said was true, but the problem was, they had no intention of being her boyfriends.

"Brother! Brother! Cen Mulin has lost her mind! She wants me and this lunatic to be her boyfriends!"

At some point, Fu Yang had called Fu Ze. As soon as the call connected, he launched into a frantic, chaotic tirade.

He stopped just short of saying that since Cen Mulin’s schemes for Lu Yunque had failed, she was now setting her sights on him and Lu Yunfeng.

’Perhaps her ultimate goal is to use our status to get close to Lu Yunque, and eventually oust Yun Zijin to become his new girlfriend.’

’Tsk, tsk. What a calculating woman!’

Hearing Fu Yang’s complaints to the person on the other end of the line, Cen Mulin’s expression froze. She had a bad feeling about this.

"Did you call Fu Ze?"

Cen Mulin could only think of Fu Ze as someone Fu Yang would call "brother."

He wouldn’t call Lu Yunque’s group "brother" so directly.

"Of course! If I don’t expose your true colors, what if you go around spreading rumors and slandering our good names? We’d never be able to clear our reputations, even if we jumped into the Yellow River."

’Even though I’m not looking for a girlfriend right now, my innocence is important! What if I meet someone I like someday? This would seriously hinder my pursuit of a wife!’

’Mom has been drilling it into my head for over twenty years: a man’s best dowry is his innocence.’

’My innocence must be preserved for my future wife.’

Fu Yang’s words completely shattered Cen Mulin’s composure.

’Was he calling her dirty?’

Fu Yang hadn’t said a single word about her being dirty, but Cen Mulin heard that accusation in every sentence.

Cen Mulin was indignant, but she didn’t dare say anything more, afraid that Fu Yang would say something that couldn’t be taken back.

She had gone to great lengths to keep what happened abroad under wraps and prevent it from spreading back home. If Fu Yang broadcasted it, she would truly lose any chance of ever standing by Lu Yunque’s side.

That’s right. Even now, Cen Mulin hadn’t given up on her designs on Lu Yunque.

"What do you want?"

Since threats were ineffective, Cen Mulin decided to try a more roundabout approach.

This time, Fu Yang and Lu Yunfeng ignored her. Their only job was to keep her from causing trouble.

Constantly being watched, Cen Mulin finally couldn’t stand it anymore and made an excuse to leave the banquet hall.

With Fu Yang and Lu Yunfeng watching her every move, she couldn’t find a single opportunity to carry out the plan she’d arranged with Sheng Tian.

Given her own situation, Cen Mulin held out no hope for Sheng Tian’s success either.

Meanwhile, when Fu Ze heard Fu Yang’s "cry for help" over the phone, he placed his phone on the table and put it on speaker.

Everyone sitting nearby heard the subsequent exchange between Fu Yang and Cen Mulin, and their expressions became indescribably complex.

After the call ended, Yun Zijin shot an annoyed glare at Lu Yunque.

’I didn’t do anything,’ Lu Yunque thought. ’Why is she angry?’

"That Cen Mulin is far too manipulative. Old Sheng, I think you’d better go home and teach that cousin of yours a lesson. Otherwise, you won’t even know it when that woman stabs you in the back."

If what Cen Mulin was doing blew up, it could very well affect the Sheng Family’s stock prices.

If the stock plummeted, who knew how much market value the entire company would lose.

If he took that evaporated market value and threw it into a pond, at least he’d hear a splash. A stock crash doesn’t even make a sound.

Besides, you can’t spend your life guarding against a thief. Lu Yunque felt it was necessary to deal with her once and for all.

Sheng Hao did indeed feel apologetic toward Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin regarding the matter with Sheng Tian.

No matter what, Sheng Tian was still a member of the Sheng Family.

But he was the one who had to bear the responsibility for her actions.

"I think just sending her abroad is the best solution."

Fu Ze, still hoping Yun Zijin would help him win over his future wife, was very eager to offer suggestions.

"I’ll consider it."

Sheng Hao didn’t agree immediately, but he privately thought it was a good idea.

As the target of their scheme, Yun Zijin offered no opinion on the matter.

"If you can’t resolve this, I’ll go have a chat with your family’s patriarch."

Lu Yunque looked at Sheng Hao.
