Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 827 - Undermine

Chapter 827: Undermine

The woman’s gaze lingered on Cheng Che’s face before she looked away reluctantly, shifting her attention back to Old Master Yin and Old Madam Yin. Then, she asked, “What’s the matter? We haven’t seen each other for so many years, aren’t you going to greet me?”

Most of the guests present were from wealthy and influential families in S City. Some of them were privy to the Yin family’s matters.

Someone exclaimed at this time, “Isn’t she his former wife?”

“Whose former wife?”

“She’s Old Master Yin’s former wife! She’s Yin Bin’s biological mother, and the biological grandmother of Cheng Che and the Eldest Young Miss of the Yin family!”

“That’s right! Her name is Cheng Yi. She was one of the top socialites in the city back then.”

“Heavens! How shocking!”

Cheng Yi slowly turned around and smiled. “Hello, everyone. I didn’t expect that there are still people who remember me. Thank you.” She paused briefly before she continued to say, “Back then, there was trouble in the family. I was never one to suffer injustice silently so I ran away from home in anger. So many years have passed. Even my husband thought I was no longer alive. To think there are still people who remember me. It’s really unexpected. I sincerely thank you.”

“Old Ning, did your silk business encounter a problem? I happen to know a Malaysian trading company, and it so happens that I’m looking for a good supplier. If you’re interested, I’ll tell my assistant to get in touch with you.”

Mr. Ning, who felt lucky that he had been singled out by Cheng Yi, could not contain his excitement and smile as he asked, “Really?”

Cheng Yi nodded. “Over the years, my business has taken shape quite nicely. If you’re interested, I’ll visit you in the future to discuss this. If we agree to cooperate, it’ll be a win-win situation for everyone.”

Mr. Ning was extremely polite now. “May I ask which line of business you are in, Old Madam Yin?”

Cheng Yin smiled. “Old Madam Yin? It’s been many years since I was last addressed by this title. Although it’s an empty title, I suppose I still can bear this title. Anyway, I run an investment company. Have you heard of Yushi Investment?”

......

Mr. Ning’s eyes lit up immediately. “Of course, of course. So you own Yushi?”

Cheng Yi nodded. “The company’s performance over the past few years has been rather good. I hope we’ll have a chance to work together.”

Mr. Ning stepped forward excitedly to shake Cheng Yi’s hand. “President Cheng, this is great. It’s truly an honor.”

Cheng Yi politely shook Mr. Ning’s hand. “I’ll contact you later. I have to deal with some family matters today.”

With that, Mr. Ning tactfully stepped back, indicating for Cheng Yi to continue.

Cheng Yi turned back to look at Old Master Yin, and her smile turned fierce as she said, “Yin De, don’t you think there’s something we need to clarify? You and I haven’t divorced so that person next to you has never been the legal Old Madam Yin. At most, she’s just a mistress.”

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

After all, Old Madam Yin had a rather high status in the circle of elites. Although she had once been looked down upon due to her family background, she was backed by the Yin family, after all. Even if people despised her, they were still respectful to her on the surface.

After so many years had passed, Old Madam Yin had long been regarded as the rightful wife of Old Master Yin. Her son had also long been regarded as a legitimate son of the Yin family. Since the Yin family had acknowledged her, what could other people say? Moreover, they still had business dealings with the Yin family. The Yin family dabbled in all kinds of businesses. There were many people who relied on the Yin family to survive in S City. Who would dare to offend the Yin family except for those from the Yin family? For example, this former Old Madam Yin, Cheng Yi.

In fact, the Yin family got their start from Cheng Yi’s family. The Cheng family played an important role in the Yin family’s current status. It was unfortunate that the Cheng family declined, and the Yin family surpassed it. It was only then that Yin De, Old Master Yin, could finally start to raise his head and straighten his back.

In the past, when Cheng Yi and Yin De fought and Cheng Yi ran away, the entire city had talked about it. However, at that time, the Yin family business was already in Yin De’s hands. Hence, no one was willing to tread in the muddy water, afraid of harming their own interests.
