CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 242 ORIGINAL SIN 51

Wan Yan didn’t argue much, he simply stood up and gave Yun Shuangshuang a deep bow, which startled Yun Shuangshuang. She quickly moved aside, feeling a bit at a loss from Wan Yan’s sudden bow.

"Mr. Wan, what are you doing?"

Wan Yan straightened up with a bitter smile and said, "I know what Li Ming and Feng Jing did before was a bit out of line. You might think that one being a director and the other a deputy general manager should not have done such mindless things. But there’s a saying that when you’re concerned, you can become irrational."

Wan Yan looked sincerely into Yun Shuangshuang’s eyes, "I’ve known them both since we were little. You could say we were so young we can’t even remember, playing together every day, causing trouble, going to kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and college together. Even when studying abroad, we were always together. Our bond is stronger than that of many biological brothers! When I had that near-death experience, they were genuinely ecstatic. Their actions were their first reaction to express gratitude to you."

At this point, Wan Yan smiled bitterly again and said, "Actually, the reason they acted so thoughtlessly this time is because something similar happened before."

Wan Yan truly felt his two childhood friends were innocent, "Li Ming has a younger brother who got lost while out with their mother when he was young. He was taken to the police station and fortunately found. At the time, Li Ming’s parents also bought many things to show gratitude to the family who helped. But that family, seeing that Li Ming’s family was well-off, hinted that Li Ming’s parents should give money instead, saying gifts were too stingy."

Talking about this, Wan Yan felt somewhat amused and annoyed because that family really had no taste. They were particularly happy with the fifty thousand given by Li Ming’s family, unaware that the things Li Ming’s parents sent earlier were worth over a million, including a Mutton Fat Jade pendant worth more than seven hundred thousand!

Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t unreasonable. After Wan Yan’s explanation, she seemed to understand Li Ming and Feng Jing’s previous thoughtless actions.

Of course, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t understand the emotional bond Wan Yan was talking about, supposedly stronger than blood brothers. Yun Shuangshuang herself had no siblings; her only maternal half-sister, Liu Man Ni, maintained a life-and-death rivalry against her.

Yun Shuangshuang related it to the mother-daughter bond she had with Feng Jinyan. She thought if her mother got into trouble and someone saved her life, she’d be ecstatic and would also send gifts and money in gratitude! Thinking this way, the resentment she had felt earlier suddenly dissipated!

"I see, I understand now. It’s me being petty, only caring about my pride, without considering your bond of brotherhood." This time, the smile on Yun Shuangshuang’s face wasn’t distant, but genuine.

Seeing Yun Shuangshuang so understanding and reasonable, Wan Yan, whose impression of Yun Shuangshuang was already very good, felt an even stronger admiration for her. Of course, this admiration wasn’t out of romantic affection but a respect for Yun Shuangshuang’s magnanimous character.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Wan Yan showed Yun Shuangshuang the thank-you gift he brought this time. It’s worth noting that Wan Yan put a lot of thought into the gift, finding all sorts of ancient costumes and wigs used in various film crews through his good friend Li Ming.

These costumes and wigs had been genuinely used by actors and appeared on screen, so their quality was naturally better than the hastily customized ancient costumes Yun Shuangshuang had made. The price of each set was not low.

Thoughtfully, Wan Yan even brought over the wardrobes, placing them behind a treasure shelf in the large hall of Red Dust. Because the hall was so big, Yun Shuangshuang hadn’t noticed any large delivery trucks outside, probably sent away by Wan Yan. After entering Red Dust, Wan Yan attracted her attention so much that she didn’t realize several huge wardrobes were added to the hall!

With the misunderstanding resolved, and Wan Yan’s gift being so thoughtful and aligned with her heart, Yun Shuangshuang, who wasn’t incapable of returning a gift, gladly accepted it!

Seeing Yun Shuangshuang accept the gift without any discontent confirmed to Wan Yan that she had truly moved past the incident, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it was getting late, Wan Yan directly took his leave from Yun Shuangshuang. He needed to hurry back to F City because work at the company had been put off for so many days, accumulating quite a bit. He had to return to handle it.

The construction of amusement facilities around Yun Shuangshuang’s Red Dust continued to progress vigorously, with several sites under construction simultaneously. Trucks loaded with various materials traveled back and forth daily, creating a buzz of activity.

Many villagers were also helping out, knowing that the two major bosses of Red Dust provided them with numerous ways to earn money and get rich. They were grateful and indebted to Yun Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan, declaring that such good people not being wealthy and not being big bosses was against heaven!

Initially, these villagers worked for Yun Shuangshuang entirely out of a sense of repayment. However, Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t one to take advantage of others, so she directly paid the villagers the same wages as the construction team.

Unable to refuse, the villagers accepted the pay but worked even harder, full of praises for Yun Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan, declaring that if anyone dared criticize Yun Shuangshuang or Feng Jinyan in front of them, they would certainly band together to shut them up!

With these villagers as the force of living strength, even the projects Yun Shuangshuang thought unachievable within a month were completed, bringing a pleasant surprise!

Very soon, a month passed quickly, and Yun Shuangshuang’s Red Dust and the newly built amusement facilities were about to welcome a large wave of guests!

Liu Siyu is Liu Ying’s cousin. She had just broken up with her boyfriend a few days ago because her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. In fact, this wasn’t even her best friend’s fault.

Because neither she nor her best friend knew that they were both dating the same man. It was her best friend who first noticed something was wrong and then dragged her along to confront Liu Siyu’s boyfriend, only to discover that her boyfriend was two-timing them!

Furious, Liu Siyu and her best friend each gave the scumbag two big slaps and severed ties with him.

Though the breakup was straightforward at the time, it wasn’t easy to let go of several years of feelings, and recently Liu Siyu resigned from her job, staying at home all day, feeling down, watching TV, and playing on the computer.

At that time, the internet wasn’t very developed, so Liu Siyu mainly played the computer’s built-in games like Minesweeper and Solitaire.

Seeing Liu Siyu’s depressed state, Liu Ying couldn’t bear it any longer. Coincidentally, her clients Sister Wang, Sister Bai, and Sister Mei planned to take their outstanding employees on a vacation to Red Dust, a place she liked very much.

These three strong women had quite a few talented young people among their subordinates. Liu Ying shamelessly asked Sister Bai to take her cousin along for a trip to Red Dust. Of course, Liu Ying’s intention was to see if her cousin might hit it off with someone there, moving on from her previous relationship.
