Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 441 Can you make an introduction?

At Wen Nachuan's table, someone looked at Yu Ru with suspicion and asked, "Nachuan, is that beautiful woman close to your grandfather? Do you know her?"

"Yes, I know him," Wen Nachuan replied simply.

"Na Chuan, do you know Yu Ru? Could you introduce me to her? I'd like to meet her too," another person asked.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Nachuan asked casually.

“I have a project that’s been stuck, and no one can help me. I’m thinking of asking Yu Ru for help. I’ve heard she’s incredibly powerful, has a huge network of connections, and isn’t afraid of authority. Maybe she can help me solve it. I also heard she’s taken down several big shots before, and nothing happened to her.” the man replied.

"It's not certain whether she can solve it. If you want to get to know her, I'll have to ask Grandpa." After saying that, Wen Nachuan lowered his eyes, picked up some food, and ate to hide his emotions.

Wen Nahai listened to his brother's speech and a look of disdain appeared on his face. He knew that his brother and Yu Ru didn't get along when they were young, but now these words made it seem as if he had some connection with Yu Ru. Using Yu Ru to do favors, he really looked down on his brother. He could have just said that he wasn't familiar with Yu Ru and couldn't help, instead of this coy refusal.

Unfortunately, he had the least say among everyone at the table; he was still a student and hadn't achieved anything significant. Stepping forward rashly might tarnish Yu Ru's reputation and also embarrass his own people—it was a difficult situation either way. So he had no choice but to keep quiet.

Zhang Wenshu also sensed something was amiss, inwardly cursing Wen Nachuan as a scoundrel. During Yu Ru's childhood in the Wen family, Zhang Wenshu had been the one who watched over her, and she was naturally aware of the bad things Wen Nachuan had done to Yu Ru. She never expected him to be so shameless as to actually use Yu Ru to do her a favor.

After thinking for a moment, she said to the troubled young man, "Young man, isn't Yu Ru right here? Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared and bold. You can go up and ask Yu Ru when you have some free time."

Why would we need Wennachuan as a middleman to profit from the price difference?

“Yeah, Zhe-ge, my aunt is right. But if you want to get to know my sister Yu-ru, you’ll need to have a project that will interest her in investing, or you’ll need to be prepared with a million. There’s a threshold to adding my sister Yu-ru as a friend, a million is the entry threshold.” Wen Na-hai said with a wicked smile.

"One million? Why so much? Are you sure it's just to add a friend?" the man exclaimed in surprise.

Over there, Yu Ru added a bunch of friends and then left to make conversation. Before leaving, she walked between Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe, and without deliberately lowering her voice, said directly, "Grandpa, Grandma, I have something to do later. You two and Shanyuan go home first, and I'll come back to the old house to visit you later."

"Okay, okay." Situ Ningzhai patted Yu Ru's hand. "Let's go eat first, so we don't get hungry."

As soon as she left, an elderly man curiously asked Yun Zhonghe and Situ Ningzhai, "Old Yun, what's your relationship with that little girl? Why did she call you grandpa and grandma?"

"She's my second son's newlywed daughter-in-law, our granddaughter-in-law, so of course she calls us grandpa and grandma," Yun Zhonghe said with a smile.

"Is she your granddaughter-in-law?" The person who asked the question showed an envious expression, and the others also looked somewhat envious. "Your granddaughter-in-law is really wonderful. I've heard so much about her; she's not only good at painting, but she's also very talented in other areas. Where did you find such a good granddaughter-in-law? I'll find one for my grandson too."

“Old Chen, we didn’t specifically look for them. The two kids fell in love on their own, it’s all fate… Maybe your grandson will meet his soulmate this month,” Yun Zhonghe replied cheerfully.

Yu Ru came to one of the younger generation's tables. Wen Nachuan was at this table, which she disliked, but Zhang Wenshu was also there, so she came.

As soon as she arrived, most of the people at the table eagerly invited her to sit down and started offering her more food. She glanced at their faces briefly; some she recognized, some she didn't, and she didn't know why they were being so attentive to her.

"Xiaoru, you've become even more beautiful." Zhang Wenshu held Yuru's hand and looked at her with delight.

“Grandma Zhang, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Yu Ru squeezed her hand tightly and whispered in her ear. “Tonight I’ll take you home to enjoy your retirement. You don’t have to go anywhere else, just come with me.”

Zhang Wenshu nodded repeatedly, "Of course, it would be foolish not to enjoy good fortune, especially since it's a blessing from my Xiaoru."

Before coming to the birthday party, Yu Ru had spoken to her on the phone, and she already knew that she could talk, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Wen Nachuan secretly watched Yu Ru, only to find that she didn't even glance at him, as if she didn't recognize him at all. This discovery stirred up a strange and inexplicable feeling within him.

However, his younger brother, Xiao Hai, exchanged a few words with Yu Ru, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

The people at the table could also tell that Yu Ru wasn't familiar with him at all, but she seemed to get along well with his younger brother, Wen Nahai. The person who had just asked him if he could introduce them couldn't help but feel a little disdainful towards him.

Yu Ru sat to Zhang Wenshu's left, and Xiao Hai sat to Zhang Wenshu's right, quite close to her. Wen Na Hai then spoke directly to Yu Ru, "Sister Ru, I have a car race next Saturday, do you want to come watch?"

During her time at the Wen family home, Wen Nahai never did anything to harm Yu Ru; on the contrary, he treated her quite well. When she was little, he would share his toys with her, and he would even remember to give her his milk powder. Of course, she wouldn't dare drink his milk powder, but his thoughtfulness made her feel cared for and appreciated.

As they grew older, Wen Nahai had his own pocket money and would often buy delicious treats. Every time he bought something tasty, he would make a point of bringing it to her room to share with her. She was still grateful to him, because he had allowed her to eat many things she had never tried before.

After school, she would walk back to the Wen family home with Wen Nachuan and Wen Nahai. When Wen Nachuan scolded her, Wen Nahai would jump in front of her to shut his brother up. That year, she was thirteen, and Wen Nahai was six. Despite being somewhat afraid of his brother, he still stood up for her without hesitation.

Later, she stopped going to the Wen family home, but Wen Nahai would still try his best to contact her privately. They continued to communicate privately, though they rarely met in person, chatting like online friends. Once, she brought gold to the Wen family home, and Wen Nahai entertained her. Before she left, Wen Nahai also gave her many gifts to take with her.

Based on this, she can talk to Wen Nahai properly.

However, she wasn't interested in racing, and Wen Nahai wasn't anyone particularly important to her. She didn't really want to watch, but it wouldn't be good for so many people to openly reject him. So she asked, "Xiao Hai, which track do you race at?"

"The track for Extreme Shadow Racing".

Yu Ru suddenly thought of something, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "I understand, I'll go see it when I have time."
