Chapter 6 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
"You must be Lin Youyou's mother. I wonder where you're working now? As for assets, how much assets do you have? You've got quite the nerve."
Deng Ying looked at Si Yan with disdain, and then continued to speak.
"Is the University of Hong Kong a place that ordinary people can just go to?"
Deng Ying looked at Si Yan with arrogance. Although Si Yan's outfit made her look wealthy and noble, it was the University of Hong Kong.
It's something they can brag about; even their cousin, who runs a big business in Hong Kong, doesn't have that ability.
"Whether I can do it or not is none of Ms. Deng's concern."
"Since neither party is interested, how about we call off this marriage?"
Si Yan looked at Lin Youyou tenderly and reached out to pat her head.
"Youyou, what are you thinking?"
"I always listen to my mother."
In Lin Youyou's eyes, Xiao Yi was something she could boast about.
She was initially quite angry when she heard that Xiao Yi wanted to break off the engagement.
But considering that her mother was now much more powerful than the Xiao family, she figured she might as well break off the engagement. After all, Xiao Yi's mother didn't like her anyway, so why bother making herself suffer?
"it is good"
Upon hearing Lin Youyou's answer, Si Yan turned to look at Deng Ying.
"Ms. Deng, as you heard, my Youyou has no objection to announcing the engagement."
"In my opinion, how about we lift this ban today, right now?"
Deng Ying's face showed a moment of embarrassment, even though she was the one who proposed breaking off the engagement.
But now it seems like my own son is being disliked. Oh well, I've already achieved my goal.
"Sure, we have no objection."
"But I just hope that Youyou won't come to my house as often as before. After all, we've broken off our engagement, and it wouldn't be good for outsiders to misunderstand."
Deng Ying looked at Lin Youyou; she couldn't believe that Lin Youyou would just give up on her son like that.
She had previously tried so hard to please me, hoping I would say a few good words for her in front of Yi'er. Now she's agreed to break off the engagement so quickly.
She'd better not come begging to her again.
"Don't worry, Ms. Deng, my daughter is busy studying and improving herself. She doesn't have time to look for your son."
After speaking, Si Yan didn't give Deng Ying a second glance and walked straight to Lin Jianjun and Grandma Lin.
Si Yan glanced at Lin Jianjun indifferently, not intending to pay him any attention. This man hadn't dared to say a word just now, which made her look down on him even more.
"Mom, I'm coming back this time to take Youyou with me. Thank you for taking care of Youyou all these years."
Grandma Lin looked at Lin Youyou with reluctance. Her son and daughter-in-law had been separated for almost six years, and she had basically raised Youyou single-handedly during those six years.
Grandma Lin's face was full of reluctance as she thought about not being able to see Youyou often in the future.
"Yan Yan, I have no objection to you taking Youyou to live a good life, but could Youyou come to visit this old woman more often in the future?"
"Of course, no problem. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have arranged for Youyou to come visit you often."
Before Lin Youyou could finish packing, another group of people arrived outside.
"Excuse me, who is Ms. Si Yan? We are reporters from the provincial newspaper."
They had originally gone to visit Si Yan's newly purchased villa, but unexpectedly found it empty.
The housekeeper informed them that they had arrived at the Lin family's residence, and the group from the provincial newspaper rushed over to the Lin family's residence as well.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw a crowd gathered at the entrance. I asked the aunt next to me and learned that Si Yan was inside, which led me to ask this question.
Seeing the group of people from the provincial newspaper at the door, Si Yan gently patted Lin Youyou's arm, and they reached the door in just a few steps.
"I am Si Yan. May I ask what business you two have?"
Looking at the stylish Si Yan in front of him, Minister Zhang of the Provincial Newspaper felt that it was both expected and unexpected.
How could a big boss from Hong Kong not be fashionable? I just didn't expect him to look so young.
"Hello, Ms. Si Yan, we are reporters from the provincial newspaper. We admire patriotic businesswomen like you. You alone have donated 50 million RMB to the country."
Looking at Si Yan, Minister Zhang showed admiration. Si Yan had set a good example for all Chinese businessmen abroad.
"We received notification that you have come to An County, and we would like to arrange an interview with you. When would be a convenient time for you?"
Everyone present was shocked when the reporter mentioned fifty million.
"Wow, what does fifty million mean? How much money is that?"
"I never imagined that Youyou's mom could donate 50 million yuan. My monthly salary is only 450,000 yuan. My God, how much money does she have?!"
Upon hearing the word "fifty million," both Deng Ying and Xiao Yi were shocked.
Nobody told Lin Youyou that her biological mother had so much money. Is it too late to back out now?
Si Yan ignored the gasps and stares around her and smiled slightly.
"It is my honor to contribute to the country, but as you can see, it is not very convenient here."
"How about this, you go to the machinery factory and find Deputy Director Yan. Explain your purpose, and he will arrange a meeting room for you. We can talk again this afternoon after work, okay?"
Minister Zhang happily agreed, saying that as long as he could conduct the interview, it wouldn't make a difference to wait a little longer.
Lin Youyou packed up the important documents, but didn't take the clothes, since she already had a whole walk-in closet full of new clothes.
"Youyou, Aunt Zhao must have already prepared a delicious meal. Let's go home and eat first, and then Mom will go to work with you later."
Lin Youyou, having taken her things, glanced smugly at Lin Xiaoyu, who was hiding in the crowd outside. "So, you're not going to try and take everything from me, are you?"
Now, go ahead and try to take it from me! Can you take my own mother away? Haha!
Turning her head, Lin Youyou's gaze fell on Si Yan's face, her eyes overflowing with smiles. She happily stepped forward and took Si Yan's arm.
"Okay, Mom, let's go."
Si Yan said goodbye to Lin Youyou and Grandma Lin and left. As the car drove further and further away, the discussion among the people gathered around the Lin family grew louder and louder.
"What was Lin Jianjun thinking? How could he give up a wife like that? He should have just let her go out and try her luck when she said she wanted to. Why did he have to get a divorce?"
"Goodness, just a little bit of food peeking out from under Si Yan's fingernails would be enough for our whole family to live comfortably for a lifetime. Lin Youyou is so lucky."
"Hey, you used to say that someone's life was really bad because they had a stepmother and then a stepfather. Now you've proven yourself wrong."
"Did you know that Li Hui and Lin Jianjun were already seeing each other before Si Yan got divorced?"
"However, Li Hui was quite pitiful back then, and it was only in the last few years, after she married Lin Jianjun, that she started to rise up."
"Really? I never expected her to be this kind of person. This is going to be interesting."
Li Hui, looking embarrassed, shut everyone out of the door, her head bowed and her eyes filled with hatred.
Si Yan, why are you living so well? Back then, that businessman from out of town was someone you arranged to introduce to Si Yan.
She accomplished everything she wanted, yet she still came back alive and became a tycoon. Just you wait, I won't let you get away with this.
