Li Xuanyu watched from the side and suddenly let out a giggle, "Yang Fei, it seems like the affection between you and your wife isn’t that deep. She doesn’t even know how much money you have, let alone what you did before. You two really don’t know much about each other."
Li Xuanyu’s words entered their ears, causing both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang to feel a chill in their hearts as they simultaneously looked at each other.
Indeed, the two had developed fondness for each other, and one could even say they had feelings, but they both had their own secrets that they couldn’t reveal to one another.
Two young men and women, who had never been in love before getting married, had extremely high expectations for their significant others, and their marriage was not something to be compromised.
They felt that to truly be together and to truly love each other, they should be honest with one another.
But they weren’t able to be completely honest just yet.
However, Qin Yanyang soon came back to her senses.
For the amount of time they had known each other, being as open with each other as they were now was already enough.
She believed that as time went on, there would be no more secrets between them. At this moment, trying to trap Yang Fei in his words but instead becoming a laughingstock in front of others was truly unwise.
So she let out a chuckle, "Yes, my husband and I met through a blind date, but it was love at first sight. Although we haven’t been together for even three months, we already understand each other, have developed fondness for each other. I believe it won’t be long before we can be truly honest with each other, with no secrets remaining. Isn’t that right, husband?"
Yang Fei hurriedly nodded, "Yes, we got married before we fell in love, and things have progressed quite quickly. As for financial matters, it’s not that I intentionally kept them secret, it’s just that my wife isn’t short of money. She has never asked, and so I never mentioned it."
Qin Yanyang nodded with a smile, "Mhm, even if my husband was penniless, it wouldn’t matter, I can easily support him."
Seeing the two protect each other, evidently having developed feelings, Li Xuanyu felt a tinge of jealousy inside.
Knowing that to continue this topic would only prompt them to flaunt their affection in front of her, she decisively changed the subject, looking at Yang Fei with a reminiscent gaze, "Your wife has agreed, so the matter of my company now fully depends on you."
Yang Fei glanced at Qin Yanyang, and seeing her smilingly looking at him, with no intention of refusing, he said, "Yes, I’ll only be responsible for helping you complete that ancient recipe."
"What about the other ancient recipes?" Li Xuanyu said, looking at Qin Yanyang with a smile, "Just now Miss Qin said it, for you to cooperate with me and make money together. Right, Miss Qin? Money is a good thing, who would think they have too much?" Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net
Qin Yanyang nodded with a smile, "Mhm, I support my husband in doing more in business. The more money he makes, the more outstanding it shows he is. However, I think it’s necessary to mention something in advance to Sister Li."
"Oh? What is it?" Li Xuanyu asked, looking at her.
Qin Yanyang said, "Since the beauty recipe provided by my husband originates from the Divine Continent’s ancient medical skills, the resulting products should bear the Traditional Chinese Medicine label of the Divine Continent Country. The rights to the ancient recipe must belong to my husband. The recipe provided by my husband is only entrusted to or permitted for your company to produce and sell."
Yang Fei, not understanding much about economics or corporate operations, nonetheless understood Qin Yanyang’s words.
This involved patent rights.
What Qin Yanyang was doing was to ensure the fruits of Divine Continent’s ancestors’ labor were not taken by foreign enterprises.
Over the years, many aspects of the Divine Continent’s ancient civilization and heritage were stolen by foreign countries. What was clearly Divine Continent Country’s has now become patented by Korea and Japan, leaving its people deeply distressed.
Yang Fei, a citizen of Divine Continent, had often heard of such matters and felt very upset about them. Now that Qin Yanyang had brought up this issue, he silently nodded in agreement.
Li Xuanyu’s expression changed slightly as she said to Qin Yanyang, "How can this be acceptable? If we choose to cooperate, then the patent rights of all newly developed products should belong to the company."
Qin Yanyang let out a chuckle, "Then there is no need to continue with the cooperation. If the patent of what my husband developed belongs to your company, and later, if your company decides to terminate the collaboration, those patents would become unrelated to my husband, unrelated to Divine Continent’s ancient recipes, and they might even be claimed as Korea’s heritage, right?"
Li Xuanyu coughed dryly and said, "That wouldn’t happen. I have known Yang Fei for many years, how could I do something to betray him? And I wouldn’t dare."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes shone slightly: "Wouldn’t dare? Why wouldn’t you dare? The Li Family’s Financial Group is a top-tier aristocratic financial group globally, why would it fear my husband, a mere ordinary person?"
Yang Fei smiled bitterly.
This wife is trying to fish for information again.
But he wasn’t worried because Li Xuanyu was not someone easy to deal with; she was smart.
Sure enough, Li Xuanyu laughed teasingly and said, "My family might dare to do that, but I really don’t dare. Although Yang Fei calls me sister, when this stinky little brother loses his temper, he even dares to hit me. He’s hit me on the butt before; I’ve even got a psychological shadow from it."
As she spoke, her glances flicked towards Yang Fei, as if recalling a certain past scene, her pretty face blushed, stirring imaginations.
Sweat rolled down from Yang Fei’s forehead.
He knew that Li Xuanyu wouldn’t let Qin Yanyang be tricked into saying something, but he didn’t expect her to bring up this matter.
It was just that he was too angry at the time and slapped her impulsively, but why does it sound completely different when you talk about it now?
He hurriedly shook his head at Qin Yanyang, explaining, "It’s not what you’re thinking."
Qin Yanyang secretly gritted her teeth, but she maintained a generously understanding smile on her face, "Mmm, I get it. For someone with such a good temper to hit someone, she must have done something outrageous to make you angry."
Li Xuanyu snorted, "Him, having a good temper? Miss Qin, you’ve known him for too short a time, not long enough to understand him, huh."
The more she said this, the more Qin Yanyang’s teeth itched with hatred.
As a wife, she couldn’t stand the thought of another woman understanding her own husband better than she did. It was simply too embarrassing to admit.
She got angry, and then said to Yang Fei, "Honey, I think Sister Li seems to lack sincerity in cooperation. In fact, with your great ancient prescriptions, you can totally make this money on your own; there’s no need to partner with others. If your overseas assets are inconvenient to use right now, I can put some up first. We are family after all, isn’t it better to earn money ourselves rather than sharing it with outsiders?"
Yang Fei was dumbfounded.
I was the one who didn’t want to partner with her in the first place, it was you who told me to cooperate, to make money.
And now you want to go back on your word?
In his mind, Qin Yanyang was always generous, composed, confident, and elegant.
Turns out, when truly provoked, she could be petty and hold grudges.
Li Xuanyu was stunned on the spot.
She didn’t expect Qin Yanyang to change her face faster than flipping a book.
Knowing Yang Fei’s capabilities, she understood that if Yang Fei seriously started his own company, then the Li Family’s Financial Group’s branch layout in Divine Continent Country would face a huge impact, and as the person in charge here, she would definitely be targeted by the family’s high ranks.
"Yang Fei, I haven’t refused your wife’s suggestion. With our relationship, you wouldn’t refuse to help me, right? You know the situation with my family; I really need your help right now," Li Xuanyu pleaded with a pitiful look, speaking to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei opened his mouth, then looked at Qin Yanyang.
Li Xuanyu’s expression darkened, her heart filled with deep resentment and defeat.
Having a new bride and forgetting one’s mother is not untrue at all.
Before, when they were abroad, he would listen to her in many matters and go along with her; now that something’s up, he was just looking at his wife’s face instead, which was so infuriating!
Such an ingrate, have you forgotten how your sister treated you back when you were abroad?
