Chapter 580: productive

Chapter 579 Counter-productive

Lily smiled at the two women across her.

"I — " Liu Chin stuttered. It was as if a bucket of water was spilled inside her as she stared at Lily. Shen then bit her lips as she wondered if Lily knew about the matter with the university. "I am already an intern in my grandfather's company. After graduation, he will hire me to become a manager in one of our stores in Mainland China." She answered. This was originally her mother's plan.

While Liu Chin does not approve of this and wanted to spend her time doing vlogs and traveling, she could not just say this in front of Lily.

"Good plan. Congratulations on your future graduation, by the way." Lily said.

"Chin Chin… working in your grandfather's company while going to school at the same time must be tough. Are you planning to take a momentary break after graduation?" To make the atmosphere lighter, Jiang Ruo instantly swayed the conversation away from Lily. "Perhaps a vacation in the Maldives?"

"Oh…" Liu Chin shifted her gaze at Jiang Ruo as she balled her hand into a fist. "I would directly work at my grandfather's company. I don't need to have breaks or vacation." This was a lie. But Liu Chin doesn't care. In front of Lily, she would never say something that would make Lily look down on her.

"Sister Chin is a very hardworking woman," Madam He added. "She would not spend her time doing such things. After all, her grandfather is planning to train her for the VP position."

"Really? That is impressive." Lily said and eyed the attendant who is bringing the tea that she ordered.

"My Chin Chin is very outstanding," Madam Liu beamed, pride visible in her eyes. "In fact, her father and I have been receiving a lot of marriage proposals. Mostly, they are from other prominent families in Mainland China. But after our thorough examinations, not one of the gentlemen passed our requirements."

"Well… marrying someone that your family likes is very important." Lily nodded. This was another statement aim to infuriate Yu Yanwan.

According to the information that she received, Yu Yanwan married someone that does not have the same status as the Yu Family. The man was also younger than her and very good looking.

He was one of the old man Yu's employees. While the old man didn't say anything about this marriage, Yu Yanwan's brothers were against it. They always thought that the man only married Yu Yanwan because of her money. After all, she wasn't that beautiful and her attitude is also very nasty. Even her brothers knew that it would be hard for a man to marry someone like her.

Because of this, Yu Yanwan chose to marry her husband abroad and only came back when she was already pregnant with her eldest son. This forced her brothers to accept her marriage with her husband. But, until now, it is said that this husband of hers does not really attend family events because her brothers always gave him the cold shoulder.

They would often ostracize him and exclude him in their conversations. Additionally, the old man used this as an opportunity to challenge his sons by making the man a manager despite his mediocre accomplishments. When the man proved to be useless in the office, the old man was quick to throw him in the gutter, leaving him jobless. Slowly, this created a rift between the Yu Siblings.

Currently, Yu Yanwan's husband is trying to create his own business. Since he didn't have the job nor the funds, he is currently using Yu Yanwan's money. This only made Yu Yanwan's brother look down on him.

The fact that her brothers look down on her husband should be one of the reasons why Yu Yanwan poisoned her own mother. After all, her mother never did anything to help her out from the bullying that she received from her 'family.'

Now that Lily thought about this, Yu Yanwan was only the victim of her own circumstances. Maybe she loves her husband and maybe she only wanted to become happy with her family. However, her family's ways forced her to fight and even aim for something higher.

Of course, this was all Lily's speculations. Yu Yanwan poisoned her mother, and that is just horrible. There is not enough reason to justify such actions.

Lily shifted her gaze to Yu Yanwan and smiled. Sometimes, anger and over all emotions are counterproductive. And Lily was trying to take advantage of this fact.

She wanted to make Yu Yanwan angry and emotional. This will not only make her lose her composure. It will also make her do things that will reveal weaknesses and true colors.

Why, you asked?

Because Lily already received the result of the investigation that Zhou Jingren did. The fire was indeed not an accident, and someone very familiar with the mansion caused it. That person used some of the CCTV's blind spot to get in and get out of the mansion in a few minutes.

Too bad the newly installed CCTV outside of the mansion caught him sneaking in and out of the property without his knowledge.

After a very 'thorough' interrogation. They found out that Yu Yanwan paid him to create a minor fire that was supposed to burn down the mansion's kitchen. Of course, it was a failure.

The women turned silent at Lily's words. They knew about the things that happened with the Yu family as it was one of the biggest scandals in the Yu Family years ago. This only made the environment more awkward.

"You are wrong." Yu Yanwan spoke. "If you love someone… why does the opinion of other people matter? They are not the ones marrying your partner. They are not the ones that will live with him until you grow old. So why would you care about what they think?" She met Lily's eyes. "Love is love, and it has nothing to do with your family's approval. You should think about the things that will make you happy instead."

As expected, Madam Liu's face turned ugly after Yu Yanwan's words. She glared at Yu Yanwan. "Well… we have unique values and traditions."
