Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Wanting to Attract Him with Beauty

The following night, Yan Qianyi had dressed up with great care and brought Old Lady Yan to the address Mu Yunlie had provided.

Old Lady Yan herself was dressed very delicately that evening, and even checked her reflection in the mirror before getting out of the car.

"Qianyi, do you think this lipstick color works for me?"

"Grandma, you’re already beautiful, it’s fine. Let’s hurry and get out of the car, we shouldn’t keep people waiting."

Yan Qianyi smiled helplessly and got out to open the car door for Old Lady Yan.

Old Lady Yan glared at her, "You think I’m being vain? I’m just afraid of embarrassing you. After all, it’s the first time our parents are meeting each other."

"I’ve never met Ah Lie’s grandfather, but his grandmother is a very easy-going person, so don’t be so nervous," Yan Qianyi reassured.

Grandma Nangong was the most elegant elder she had ever met.

Each time they met, Grandma Nangong dressed simply, without any makeup, yet she emanated an air of dignified grace that was very comforting.

After getting out of the car, the two head towards the restaurant’s entrance.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into Yan Hong and Han Yarong, as well as Yan Ruyi at the doorway.

It was Yan Hong who spotted them first and called out to them.

"Mom, what are you and Qianyi doing here?"

Before Old Lady Yan could respond, Yan Ruyi chimed in, "Are you here to meet Dr. Wang too?"

Han Yarong curled her lip, "Mom, you are really biased, aren’t you? Are you trying to help Qianyi grab some credit in the corporation?"

Dr. Wang was a retired military doctor, who had recently developed a new medicine.

Yan Hong wanted to obtain the authorization for Dr. Wang’s new medicine but had not been able to meet with Dr. Wang himself.

Learning that Dr. Wang would dine here tonight, the family came to await him in a show of sincerity.

Bringing Yan Ruyi along was due to her being a student at the Federation Military Academy.

Since Dr. Wang was an alumnus of the Academy, Yan Hong thought that as a senior alumnus, Dr. Wang might show some courtesy.

However, this restaurant was membership-based, serving only the elite, practically a private dining club for those of high status.

A businessman of Yan Hong’s class couldn’t even qualify for a membership card here.

On Capital Star, probably only the richest family like the Mu’s could be members of this establishment.

Yan Hong and his party couldn’t enter, they could only wait outside hoping to catch a moment with Dr. Wang as he left.

Han Yarong appraised Yan Qianyi, who had dressed up for the occasion, and sneered, "Dr. Wang is over sixty this year. You don’t really think you can attract him with your looks, do you?"

Yan Qianyi, uninterested in engaging, proceeded with Old Lady Yan’s arm in hers towards the entrance.

Yet Old Lady Yan stood her ground and with pride declared, "We are not here to meet some Dr. Wang; it’s Ah Lie’s family who invited us to dine here."

"What joke is this?" laughed Han Yarong. "Mom, do you realize where this is? Only nobility can enter. Even businessmen like the Mu’s might not be able to acquire a membership card here."

Han Yarong was sure that Old Lady Yan was only bringing Yan Qianyi to meet Dr. Wang in hopes of helping her snatch some achievement.

Now that they ran into them and felt embarrassed, she was just making things up.

Old Lady Yan glared at Yan Hong, "How do you manage your wife?"

Yan Hong chided Han Yarong before saying, "Mom, Yan’s business hasn’t done well these past two years, and you refuse to let Qianyi reveal her mother’s medical secret recipe, so I have to try my luck with Dr. Wang. You better take Qianyi and leave before we embarrass ourselves in front of Dr. Wang."

Old Lady Yan looked at her son as if he were intellectually challenged and shook her head speechlessly. "Qianyi, let’s go."

The two then proceeded inside.

The security at the door asked them to present their invitation.

Han Yarong and the others were eagerly waiting to see a fool made of Yan Qianyi, but they saw her lightly tapping her bracelet and showing an electronic invitation to the security guard.

The security guard immediately bowed and gestured, "Please, honored guests, this way."

The three people outside were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the floor.

"Mom!" Yan Hong called out anxiously, "Take me with you. It’s a meeting of both parents, and as the father, how could I not go!"

If he could get into this restaurant, it might impress Dr. Wang and increase the chances of securing the pharmaceutical license.

Old Lady Yan turned to look at Yan Hong, "What father? Haven’t you already driven Qianyi out of the Yan Family? She doesn’t have a father like you."

Yan Hong’s face turned from green to white in quick succession.

Seeing her son’s deflated appearance, Old Lady Yan chuckled with glee.

Yan Qianyi asked, "Grandma, is he really your biological son?"

Old Lady Yan scoffed coldly, "I truly wish he wasn’t."

Having such a failure for a biological son, she wondered what sins she had committed in her past life!

Yan Hong was so angry he couldn’t even speak, feeling as if something was lodged in his throat, almost choking to death.

"Has mom gone senile?" Han Yarong said indignantly, "She’s also a member of the Yan Family. Does she really want to watch Yan’s go bankrupt?"

"How can this be?" Yan Ruyi couldn’t believe it, "Dad, that day we met them at the entrance to the nursing home, Mu Yunlie was visiting his grandma. If his grandma lives in such a nursing home, how could their family be powerful?"

Yan Hong was also at a loss, "Maybe Vice Officer Pei arranged it?"

Yan Ruyi nodded, it must be so!

"Dad, we’ve been waiting here for a long time, let’s just go," Yan Ruyi suggested.

Actually, she didn’t much care about acquiring the pharmaceutical license from Dr. Wang today.

After all, she already had a way to get the Medical Secret Recipe from Yan Qianyi.

Standing at the entrance, it would be so awkward to run into Yan Qianyi and Mu Yunlie again when they come out.

She didn’t want to see Yan Qianyi’s smug face for another second!

"What do you mean go? Wait a little longer!" Yan Hong scolded.

To save Yan’s, he was now willing to sacrifice his pride, not caring about losing face.

Led by the waiter, Yan Qianyi and Old Lady Yan arrived outside a private room on the third floor.

The entire hotel was decorated in Western vintage style, exuding a thick air of luxury and dignity.

Yan Qianyi, who had not been nervous, began to feel nervous standing at the door of the private room.

She had never met Mu Yunlie’s grandfather.

Although she was just playing along with Mu Yunlie’s act, she still hoped the old gentleman would like her, as that would mean she had truly helped Mu Yunlie.

The two attendants at the door pulled open the heavy doors.

Yan Qianyi, arm in arm with Old Lady Yan, walked in.

Mu Yunlie and his party were already seated inside.

Upon their arrival, Mu Yunlie and Grandma Nangong both stood up.

Only one stern, cold-faced old gentleman remained seated.

That must be Mu Yunlie’s grandfather.

He bore a strong resemblance to Mu Yunlie, a distinguished and handsome old man.

Suddenly, Old Lady Yan stopped in her tracks.
