Zhuo Qianyun headed outside as she spoke.
However, Mr. Yu stopped Zhuo Qianyun. "Where are you going? Ye Wenming isn't even here yet but you're thinking of leaving?"
Zhuo Qianyun smelled the stench of alcohol rushing up her nose.
Wu Huairen hurriedly pulled Mr. Yu and said, "Hey, Boss Yu. You must’ve had too much to drink. Why bother a woman?" Then, he said to Zhuo Qianyun with a smile, "Why don't you just call Mr. Ye out for a meal? We mean no harm. We're all businessmen. And you have much to gain if we manage to do any business with Mr. Ye. Won't it be the best of both worlds? Don't you think so, Miss Zhuo?"
Wu Huairen might look like he was sticking up for Zhuo Qianyun, but his purpose was still to get Zhuo Qianyun to call Ye Wenming out. They were playing bad cop, good cop.
Zhuo Qianyun said, "My relationship with Ye Wenming isn't what you think it is. If you wish to do business with the Ye family, you may look for him at his company. You don't have to do it in such an indirect way."
As Zhuo Qianyun was about to leave again, Mr. Yu grabbed her. "It seems that you're ungrateful! Do you really think you're carrying a treasure? Do you believe that I can make you lose your baby today?"
Zhuo Qianyun was shocked, while Yan Qiongying hurriedly said, "Qianyun, why... Why don't you ask Ye Wenming to come over? It's just a meal. Why make such a fuss? Mr. Yu's family background isn't simple. You don't want to offend him! Oh, I just wanted to treat you to a meal out of kindness. Who knew this would happen?"
Zhuo Qianyun looked down at her belly. She had walked into a meal with people full of ulterior motives. These people would not let her go unless Ye Wenming came.
Zhuo Qianyun said, "It's me. I'm... having a meal with some other people, but they want to see you, so come over. The address is..." She gave him the hot pot restaurant’s name, address, and their private room number.
On the other end of the line, Ye Wenming seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'm coming over." With that said, he ended the call.
Zhuo Qianyun said to the crowd in the private room, "I've called him. He should be here in a moment."
The crowd instantly seemed pleased, including Mr. Yu, who prevented Zhuo Qianyun from leaving earlier. He thought Zhuo Qianyun had realized what was good for her. "Oh, you could have done so earlier. We just want a meal with Ye Wenming and talk business. You have much to gain if we manage to seal the deal. Do you think you can marry into the Ye family just because you're pregnant? The Ye family will never accept a woman who has been to prison unless they want to make a fool of themselves!"
