Chapter 208: Lunar New Year’s Greetings With Ulterior Motives
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After breakfast, Chu Liyuan and Grandpa went to the study, as if they had something to deal with…
As soon as they entered the study, those people who were in a hurry to pay Lunar New Year greetings arrived…
Usually, it was extremely difficult for these people to see the senior Mr. Chu and Chu Liyuan. It was only on the first day of Lunar New Year that they had the chance to see them! This one day only!
Hence, they pulled out all the stops to curry favor…
And the best way was through marriage.
Although it was rumored that Chu Liyuan kept women at a distance and did not like women—or even that he was unable to perform in the bedroom—it still did not deter those who wanted to seek a connection with the Chu family.
In the eyes of those people, they only saw the power and status of the Chu family. Everything else was just a small matter.
Especially this year, the news of a woman appearing by Chu Liyuan’s side had spread like wildfire some time ago. Those people naturally could not hold it in any longer.
Therefore, there were more than double the number of people who came today compared to the previous years. Moreover, all of them brought their daughters along…
If Mr. Chu took a fancy to them, they would be able to ride on his coattails!
However, how could Jian Dan know their motives? She even welcomed them warmly.
As Chu Liyuan and Grandpa had just entered the study, it should take a while for them to come out. Jian Dan placed some fruits and nuts in front of them. “Eat something first. They’re still discussing something. They might only come out after a while!”
“Hey, you. Can you get me a cup of coffee?”
A girl in a red one-shoulder dress said to Jian Dan.
From her tone, it was obvious that she treated Jian Dan as a servant here.
However, Jian Dan did not notice that there was something wrong with her tone. She felt that as Chu Liyuan’s wife, she should take good care of them, so she did not think too much about it. She got up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for that woman.
As soon as she placed the coffee in front of the girl, another girl pulled her aside furtively.
Jian Dan did not know why this girl wanted to pull her aside. She thought that she had some requests that she could not say in front of others… such as suddenly having her period or something.
“Miss, do you need any help?”
“Um… I want to ask you what type of girl Mr. Chu likes.” She stuffed a stack of 100 yuan notes into Jian Dan’s hand.
Jian Dan would be a fool if she did not understand what she meant. At this moment, Jian Dan noticed that almost all of these people brought their daughters with them. Moreover, all of them were dressed gorgeously. Their motive was obvious!
Why did she only see it now? She was too slow!
She could only blame herself. She had been focused on the Lunar New Year greetings just now and had not expected these people to have ulterior motives!
Since she knew their intentions now, she would not be nice to them anymore.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t reveal Mr. Chu’s private matters to outsiders.”
Jian Dan returned the hundred-dollar bills.
“Don’t be so inflexible. Maybe I’ll become the mistress of the Chu family in the future. I can promise you that if I become the mistress of the Chu family, I’ll definitely give you a salary 10 times higher than now,” the woman said to Jian Dan in all seriousness.
Talk about counting her chickens way before they are hatched. Where does her confidence come from?
Moreover, the real mistress of the Chu family is right in front of you.
She actually dared to say such things in front of Jian Dan. How could she tolerate it? She most definitely could not!
Jian Dan picked up the drink that had just been sent from the kitchen and emptied it over the girl’s head.
“Ah! What are you doing?!” The girl let out an ear-piercing shriek.
“I think you drank too much. Let me sober you up!” Jian Dan looked at her and said in a show of power..
