CHAPTER 859: CHAPTER 859: WHO HAS THE GREATER SCHEMES? (8)

"Is she your aunt?" Ou Shihua’s tone not only turned full of interrogation but also very sharp, as if revealing a blade.

"Yes." Zhao Mengjin seemed not to understand what his tone meant and said, "My uncle’s wife. That’s something everyone knows."

Everyone knows that Gu Nuan is the rightful wife married to the Xiao Family’s only son, Xiao Yebai. Only Xiao Jianming refused to acknowledge it.

Ou Shihua asked, "Does your grandfather know she brought you here?"

"My grandparents know."

Even if Xiao Jianming knows, he’s still only her grandfather. Her surname is Zhao, not Xiao.

Ou Shihua, surprised, just realized that the Zhao Family, unlike Xiao Jianming, does acknowledge Gu Nuan.

Why would the Zhao Family acknowledge such a woman from a humble background? The Zhao Family is also a wealthy and prestigious family, how could they easily acknowledge such a woman?

After all, no matter how modest Gu Nuan’s family is, she is nevertheless a virtuous woman of good character. Why would the Zhao Family not acknowledge her?

Besides, the Zhao Family has already benefited from Gu Nuan’s kindness.

"My aunt is very capable," Zhao Mengjin said. "Previously overseas, when my father’s and grandfather’s company had some issues, it was my aunt who perfectly solved them."

Is that so? Ou Shihua had never heard of this before. Ou Chunhua hadn’t either.

Two pairs of eyes now expressed great doubt.

Zhao Mengjin said, "Now, the new type of coffee that Zhao’s company and Brazilian coffee estate owners developed has already launched domestically. This coffee was my aunt’s idea."

Ou Shihua immediately remembered because Mrs. Ou had suggested to the Zhao Family, having heard that the Zhao Family seemed to have been entangled in a financial setup before, prompting him to quickly investigate the Zhao Family’s situation again. The results showed that not only did the Zhao Family resolve its prior issues, but their new business expansion had also launched domestically.

The large-scale coffee experience field they just hosted attracted millions of people in cities like Beijing and Shanghai. It’s clear the Zhao Family’s launch was highly successful, with remarkable results. Surely, their upcoming projects will be lucrative.

For this, even Ou Shihua felt a tinge of envy. Given the Zhao Family’s previous situation, making a comeback would have been incredibly challenging, unless truly blessed by divine assistance.

Now, Zhao Mengjin claims this divine assistance is Gu Nuan, how could he not be skeptical and astonished?

"Your aunt—"

"She graduated top of her class with a degree in Finance." Zhao Mengjin couldn’t stop praising Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan felt somewhat embarrassed listening to this.

Top of her class, perhaps not. She didn’t attend a prestigious school domestically, just an average university.

Clearing her throat lightly, Gu Nuan said, "It’s just putting into practice what I learned at school."

It seems she truly has some skills.

Ou Shihua’s eyes flashed with light, "I heard Miss Gu is now leading an acquisition."

The sudden direct entry into a sensitive topic genuinely surprised everyone at the table.

Gu Nuan smiled slightly, the man before her, she could clearly see him baring his crocodile teeth.

"Yes."

Two words, no denial.

Ou Shihua had to admit, at least this woman’s courage was extraordinary. Clearly, anyone aiming for prominence, if lacking in basic courage and unwilling to take steps others dare not, would never truly surpass the common and outshine competitors.

This woman possesses the basic qualities of a warrior.

Ou Shihua put down his bowl, chopsticks, and cup, saying, "May I ask, Miss Gu, which company are you acquiring?"
