Chapter 223 The Young Lady of a Wealthy Family 3
In the following years, Chu Yuan and Jian Heng remained good friends.
Jian Heng is 10 months older than Chu Yuan, but he has no awareness of being an older brother. Most of the time, he follows Chu Yuan around happily, as if he is her younger brother.
The two of them grew up playing and fighting until they were 15 years old, and were admitted to the high school department of Qionghua Middle School together.
"Yuanyuan, my dad has already told the teacher that we will sit at the same table from now on."
Chu Yuan rolled her eyes gracefully. Jian Heng was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to her everywhere. Even to school, he had to use connections to get her into the same class with him and sit at the same table with her.
The Jian family is one of the investors of Qionghua Middle School, so a small matter like arranging seats is nothing to them.
Father Jian was also happy to see this. His son's academic performance was really not that good, and Chu Yuan was always the top student in the grade. It was perfect for the two children to sit together.
However, Jian Heng obviously did not have this awareness. Even though the top student in the grade was sitting next to him, he never knew how to take advantage of it.
In fact, his grades were not bad. In Chu Yuan's opinion, this kid was quite smart. He could get full marks in mathematics, but he couldn't even pass the grade in chemistry. This situation is commonly known as academic imbalance.
In Jian Heng's words, he was going to inherit the family property anyway, so what was the point of studying chemistry?
There is nothing wrong with what he said. This kid has a good business sense. He uses his usual pocket money to invest, and his income has increased several times.
Chu Yuan had also looked at the stocks he selected, and they were all areas with great potential.
It has to be said that some people are indeed born with talent. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jian family will not go downhill in the next 30 years.
However, an accident happened in the previous life, because Jian Heng tried his best to prevent his fourth uncle from recognizing Jian Rushuang, he became the so-called villain in the novel. The ending of such a person is nothing more than becoming a stepping stone for the male and female protagonists.
The Jian family's assets were gradually swallowed up by the Yan family, and eventually fell into decline.
Chu Yuan didn't want this to happen again, so he gave him a heads-up early on and told Jian Heng to stay away from Yan Yichen.
Jian Heng is not a fool either. The reason why the Yan family was able to become one of the four major families, in addition to its own capabilities, there must be many unknown means in secret.
He had never thought about it in this regard before, but since Chu Yuan reminded him, Jian Heng used his connections to verify it.
You wouldn't know until you check. You'll be shocked to find that the Yan family is really...glossy on the surface, but rotten inside.
They have done a lot of shady things like stealing business secrets, malicious cooperation, fraud, illegal bidding, back-room manipulation, etc., but they are done in a more covert way, and they appeased most of the victims with intimidation and inducement.
If you cooperate with such people, sooner or later they will plot against you.
Jian Heng put everything he found in Jian's father's study, hoping to use it to remind him to reduce cooperation with the Yan family.
The Yan family had already lost the Chu family as a partner, and the Mu family had their own connections and didn't want to play with them at all. Now the Yan family also wanted to slowly withdraw.
The Yan family soon realized that something was wrong. If they continued like this, they would only be able to cooperate with lower-level companies, which would reduce their competitiveness and would not look good if the news got out.
So Yan Yichen was assigned a task. He, Chu Yuan and Jian Heng all went to the same school, but he was one grade higher than the two of them. The Yan family sent him to get some information from Chu Yuan and Jian Heng.
It was a pity that Yan Yichen had wanted to get close to them before, but the two of them had avoided him calmly. Of course, he would not succeed this time and was destined to return empty-handed.
The Yan family was furious, but they couldn't do anything to them. After all, both families had a certain background, and if they confronted them head-on, they would definitely be the ones who would suffer the loss.
Chu Yuan was so happy to see them being humiliated.
In this life, Yan Yichen is no longer as smooth sailing as in the original book, and his personality has also changed a lot compared to before.
Chu Yuan was one grade lower than him. He had heard that he often bullied students in the school. Most of these people were dependent on the Yan family or had something to ask of the Yan family, so they did not dare to resist at all.
Chu Yuan could do nothing to help such a person. It was a two-for-one situation. Even if she wanted to help, the other person might not be willing to do so.
If a poor student in the school was bullied, she would definitely not sit idly by. After all, in her previous life, Yan Yichen always pretended to be a good person and she had never heard of such a thing happening.
However, the Yan family is such a big family that it is impossible for Chu Yuan’s petty actions to shake it. Now he is just collecting some interest.
The three years of high school passed in a flash. After the college entrance examination, Chu Yuan joined his own company and was responsible for business docking.
She was not worried about her grades at all. After all, she had taken the college entrance examination many times and knew all the knowledge by heart. She could choose any school in the country.
Jian Heng had to follow his family's arrangement to study abroad. After all, with his grades, the range of options he had in the country was very limited.
So the two of them parted ways. To be honest, Chu Yuan grew up with him, and now he is reluctant to separate suddenly.
On the day Jian Heng was leaving, Chu Yuan went to the airport to see him off.
"Yuanyuan, please don't forget me during these years I've been abroad." Jian Heng hugged Chu Yuan and cried.
Father and mother Jian couldn't stand it anymore, so they pulled their son out of Chu Yuan's arms and said, "Okay, hurry up and get on the plane. It's just going to school. Is it necessary to do this?"
Chu Yuan also expressed that she was tired. She did not expect Jian Heng to do such a thing at the airport.
You have to know that they are people of status, and maybe some rumors will spread in the circle tomorrow. As God is my witness, she has no improper thoughts about Jian Heng.
Of course, Jian Heng had no feelings towards Chu Yuan either. They grew up together, and Jian Heng spent more time with Chu Yuan than with his parents, so he developed a different kind of dependence on her, like his own sister.
He had lamented countless times, why couldn't Chu Yuan have been born from his parents' wombs?
After seeing Jian Heng off, Chu Yuan returned home.
It’s getting late anyway, so I might as well skip work for a day.
Liu Qingdai had made an appointment with a beautician to come to her home for treatment. When Chu Yuan opened the door, she had a layer of milky white mask on her face.
Chu Yuan was no longer surprised by this. Ever since her mother married her father, she had lived a carefree life as a rich wife. Her greatest pleasure every day was doing beauty treatments and shopping.
"Yuanyuan is back, do you want to apply a facial mask together?"
Chu Yuan decisively rejected her invitation. Since she was naturally beautiful, she didn't need any skin care products at all. A drop of spiritual spring water every day would keep her skin delicate and shiny.
"Well, it seems that it was a mistake for your mother to give birth to you so beautiful. Alas, you are missing a beauty partner."
