Chapter 541: Chapter 542: Fueling in the Snow

Thinking about this, Fu Han’s lips unconsciously curved into a smile. She patted the back of Nan Qing’s chair and laughed, "You can also have your wedding photoshoot here; the scenery is really beautiful."

Nan Qing turned to look at Wang Yixuan, clearly wanting to hear what Wang Yixuan had to say.

Wang Yixuan’s eyes remained fixed forward as he reached out to ruffle Nan Qing’s hair with a particularly tender smile, "Wherever you say to take the photos, we will. You get to decide, and that’s enough."

From the backseat, Fu Han only had one thought—she should have been under the car, not inside it. The way these two were flaunting their affection without a care for anyone else’s feelings was just too much, completely disregarding the feelings of an onlooker like herself.

Well, considering she and Nan Qing would be lifelong friends, she decided not to mind it too much.

...

The Huangpu family villa.

Today was the weekend; there was no work, and Su Cheng was busily engaged in work inside the study room.

The situation at the Huangpu Group had improved a lot compared to before; some departments were already operating normally. However, returning to the glory days before Mr. Huangpu had been arrested was impossible.

For Su Cheng now, although things had not yet met his expectations, they were already much better than before. He was full of motivation and had gained more confidence in the future.

As he was checking the financial information, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted him.

Before the words "Come in" could leave Su Cheng’s throat, the creaking sound of the door indicated that Mrs. Huangpu had already entered.

Even though today’s Su Cheng was in his twenties and entirely of age to start a family, in Mrs. Huangpu’s eyes, he was still the same child who hadn’t grown up, with no private space of his own, where his parents never needed to knock entering his room.

Regarding this issue, Su Cheng had complained countless times, but to no avail. Nowadays, considering his mother’s feelings, he was even less likely to speak to her about this matter; anyway, he had already developed the habit of locking his room as soon as he returned, so there would be no embarrassing situations.

As usual, Su Cheng saved the document on his computer before lifting his head to look at his mother, "Mom, is there something you need me for?"

Looking up, he noticed that today’s Mrs. Huangpu was dressed differently from the past few days. Previously, she didn’t seem to be in the mood to dress up, wearing very casual clothes and no makeup, which exposed her true age.

But today, Mrs. Huangpu was well-dressed in refined makeup, her hair meticulously combed, as if the outstanding and beautiful lady of high status had returned.

Su Cheng had always supported his mother dressing up well, as it made her look much more spirited.

Without waiting for Mrs. Huangpu to respond, he spoke again, "Mom, you look very beautiful today. Do you have matters to attend to?"

"No." Mrs. Huangpu might be Su Cheng’s mother, but she was also a woman, and being praised made her mood very good. She nodded in approval, "Your Aunt Nangong invited us to their home for lunch, so I just... dressed up a bit."

Su Cheng completely overlooked the word "us" in Mrs. Huangpu’s statement, the smile on his face deepening a bit, "Godmother told me last time we chatted to take more care of you. You two have been good friends for many years; it’s right to keep in touch."

In fact, there were things Su Cheng hadn’t mentioned to Mrs. Huangpu; not only had Mrs. Nangong contacted him, even Mr. Nangong had privately reached out to Su Cheng.

They wanted to offer some help to the Huangpu Group, but Mrs. Huangpu had rejected all previous offers.

Mrs. Huangpu had always been strong-willed. Although her family’s circumstances were just comfortable, her attractive appearance and excellent achievements had always made her stand out among her peers. She had been the center of attention from a young age.

She met Mr. Huangpu before she even graduated from college, and despite the large gap between their family backgrounds, it was surprising that the entire Huangpu family liked her very much.

From dating to engagement, to marriage, to having children, everything went smoothly. Even when they took over the Huangpu Group, they worked together to make it better and better.

It’s no exaggeration to say that before Mr. Huangpu’s incident, Mrs. Huangpu had not encountered any setbacks worth mentioning; her life had always been full of success. Even compared to others who had married into wealth, she was superior in many ways.

Thus, after the Huangpu Group fell on hard times, Mrs. Nangong had sincerely come to her, wanting to know if there was anything they could do to help, but Mrs. Huangpu bluntly refused.

This information was conveyed to Su Cheng by Mr. Nangong. During this period, Su Cheng had become acutely aware of the warmth and coldness of people’s hearts. He could tell that Mr. Nangong meant it sincerely.

As for Su Cheng, when he went to get that contract signed with He Xing, his proud self-esteem had vanished. He thought more about how to help Huangpu Group survive the current crisis.

Therefore, Su Cheng did not reject the Nangong Group’s offer of help. However, this so-called help was based on fair and just terms; Su Cheng did not take any advantage, and the transaction between Huangpu Group and Nangong Group was a fair one.

Since there were not many large consortia willing to do business with the Huangpu Group, Su Cheng regarded the actions of the Nangong Group as "timely help during snowfall," something he would remember for a lifetime and would also repay when opportunity arises.

This was also why he spoke well of the Nangong family to his mother; Mrs. Nangong repeatedly instructed him not to tell Mrs. Huangpu that they had helped the Huangpu Group. Mrs. Nangong was worried Mrs. Huangpu would feel uncomfortable seeing her later.

Thus, while Su Cheng regretted not being able to share the good deeds of the Nangong family, he felt it was okay to speak a word or two in their favor.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Huangpu’s smile deepened, her head nodding in agreement, "This incident has shown me the true faces of many people. Before, so many were eager to collaborate with us, but now that your father has been implicated, they treat us like pests, avoiding us at all costs. Only your godfather and godmother have stayed as they always were, like real friends."

Listening to this, Su Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Mom, you’re right. So, if you feel bored, you can visit godmother for company. You can go shopping or buy clothes together."

"Buy clothes?" Mrs. Huangpu laughed softly, trying to speak in a relaxed tone, "Mom has enough clothes, no need to buy more. But you should hurry up and change into a new outfit; we shouldn’t keep your godparents waiting."

"Me?" Su Cheng looked down at himself; he was wearing a set of casual home clothes, having had no plans to go out today, "Mom, I don’t need to go, it has nothing to do with me that Nan Qing is bringing her boyfriend home."
