Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: The Reward of Devotion
Jian Jian could tell from Ling Yuqian’s expression that he indeed had feelings for Siyu.
“Do you know that people who are devoted are usually lucky?”
“To reward your devotion, I’ve got some news for you!”
“What is it?”
“Siyu, she…” Jian Dan moved closer to Ling Yuqian, gesturing for him to lower his head, then whispered in his ear, “She’s actually… a girl!”
Upon hearing Jian Dan’s words, Ling Yuqian stood there, dumbstruck.
“Hey~ Why are you stunned?” Jian Dan waved a hand in front of Ling Yuqian’s face.
“That’s not a funny joke!”
“Who’s joking with you?”
“Everyone knows he’s the only son of the Huo Family. How could he possibly be…”
“That’s the very dilemma she’s never been able to disclose to you!”
“How is that possible? I don’t believe it!”
“Sit down first, let me explain it to you slowly.”
Jian Dan carefully recounted Siyu’s situation to Ling Yuqian.
“Do you understand now?”
“Heh~ Heh~”
Disgusted by Ling Yuqian’s mixed reaction of laughing and crying, Jian Dan remarked, “You look so ugly laughing and crying at the same time!”
“I just don’t know how to react.”
“But the thing is, before this all settles, you have to keep this news a secret!”
“I know, I won’t tell anyone!” Ling Yuqian didn’t know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
He just felt as if his future had suddenly brightened up.
“Aren’t you afraid that Siyu’s situation will affect you?” After all, Ling Yuqian was now a highly popular celebrity.
“I never even dared to dream that I could be with Siyu. Now that I finally can, why would I care about anything else?”
“Good! That’s very responsible of you!”
“Thank you, Jian Dan!”
“If you’re really grateful, then treat Siyu well and make her happy!”
“I will!”
“Teacher Yu Qian, it’s your turn!” a voice called from outside the makeup room.
“Alright, I’m coming!”
“Then you go ahead! I should head back too!”
After leaving the set, Jian Dan headed straight for Qin Corporation…
Jian Dan arrived on the 33rd floor, resting her elbow on the desk, supporting her chin with her palm, and blinked at Chu Liyuan, who was working across from her.
“Jian Jian, if you keep looking at me like that, I really can’t control myself. What’s up?” Chu Liyuan put down his work and looked at Jian Dan.
“Hehe! Actually, it’s nothing major. I just wanted to ask you for a little favor!”
“Speak!”
“Uncle, you’re aware of Siyu’s situation. She can’t keep living like this forever, so I was thinking…”
“I’ll have Xia Zijie help you!”
“I knew Uncle was the best!” Jian Dan trotted energetically over to Chu Liyuan and kissed him on the face.
“Go ahead! But come back soon!”
“Okay!”
Jian Dan and Xia Zijie went together to Siyu’s home.
“How did it go? Did you talk to your mom?”
“I did, but she seems a bit worried!”
“I’ll talk to her.”
This was Jian Dan’s first time meeting Siyu’s mother. She had a very elegant presence, with every move reflecting her noble upbringing, and her features were delicate and pretty.
No wonder why Mr. Huo would rather be without a son than leave her!
“Auntie, hello, I’m Jian Dan, a friend of Siyu’s!”
“Hello! Siyu often mentions you.”
“Auntie, you’re really beautiful!”
“Thank you!”
“Auntie, I won’t beat around the bush. What do you think about Siyu’s situation?”
“The Huo Family Consortium is a family business, traditionally inherited by the Huo family’s eldest legitimate grandson. Siyu’s father would rather have no son than harm me. I really don’t want to watch the Huo family fall into someone else’s hands,” she said.
“You can rest assured about that. This is Xia Zijie, a very capable lawyer; let him explain, and you will understand!”
“I know you! You’re Qin Corporation’s in-house lawyer!”
“Hello!
The worry you have will never come true.”
“You mean…”
“Because Mr. Huo left a will, legal provisions dictate that all of Mr. Huo’s property belongs to you and Siyu! The concept of inheritance by the eldest legitimate grandson has no legal basis, so it does not hold up!”
“Is that so?”
“You can be completely assured of this!”
“Auntie, I believe Mr. Huo would like to see his daughter happy as well.”
“Alright! I agree! Siyu, you’ve done enough for the Huo Family. From now on, you should live for yourself!”
“Mom, don’t worry! I will protect the Huo Family!”
Siyu’s mother looked at her and nodded solemnly.
