Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 526: Chapter 519: Dan Yu Xinchang

Sisi spent the past few days staying at Yun Mansion with Du Du, incidentally making Floral Dew for a certain old man. According to Tian Xinhua, the little one had a blast playing with Mr. Yun, constantly engaging in a game of slobbering, which caused Mr. Yun to burst into laughter so many times that he even ate an extra bowl of rice for dinner.

Sisi didn’t expect that Mr. Yun and Du Du would hit it off so well right from the start. It seems like this older and younger duo is bound to get along happily in the future!

The next day, Sisi was about to meet with Dan Yu Xinchang, and since Tian Xinhua only had a ten-day vacation, this matter needed to be resolved quickly.

Before leaving, Mr. Yun made a point to repeat his instructions, "There’s no need to be polite with them. Right now, the Dan Yu Family needs you, so feel free to make bold demands. I’ll have Zhuge Yun accompany you. This young man is skilled at negotiations."

Sisi hadn’t realized that Zhuge Yun had returned to the country and asked excitedly, "Grandpa Yun, isn’t Zhuge Yun going abroad anymore?"

Mr. Yun gave her a look but didn’t reply, just pursed his lips at Tian Xinhua, conveying a meaning that was clear to anyone who wasn’t blind.

Sisi didn’t mind; after all, she had been disliked by Mr. Yun from childhood, so what’s one more time? When you have too many lice, you don’t itch; when you’re in too much debt, you don’t worry, so she didn’t care about this one or two times.

Tian Xinhua said in Sisi’s ear with a smile, "Zhuge Yun has performed exceptionally well in England, and the country plans to put his skills to greater use. He’s been asked to stay in the country for a year or two, then be sent to a more important place."

It then dawned on Sisi that there seemed to be a rule for diplomats, where after spending some time abroad, they are required to stay back in the country for a year or two before being sent elsewhere. It looks like Zhuge Yun’s future is very promising!

After sorting out the issues with the Dan Yu Family, she’d go see Liu Qiqi. It’s been four or five years since she last saw them!

Zhuge Yun was already waiting for them at the hotel entrance. The Zhuge Yun of today had transformed and was no longer the same as before, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, graceful, and radiating an extraordinary temperament, every inch the social elite.

But in this scorching hot weather, dressed in a suit with his tie knotted so tightly, wasn’t he hot?

Tian Xinhua and Zhuge Yun greeted each other with smiles and a hug, while Zhuge Yun said to Sisi with a laugh, "Qiqi really misses you, you should come over to our place when you have time."

Sisi, sidetracking the topic, replied, "Zhuge Yun, you should really take off your coat, don’t swelter and get a heat rash."

At first Zhuge Yun was taken aback, but then he burst out laughing, leaving his assistant chuckling in confusion.

Tian Xinhua too was laughing so hard he was gasping for breath, and endearingly patted Sisi’s head, just like petting Da Hei at Yun Mansion. Sisi, in disgust, brushed off his hand. This Tian Xinhua always liked to pat her head, doing so since she was little. It’s really annoying.

"Tian Xin, just listen to Ah Nan and take it off. Today is just a private meeting, no need for such formality," Tian Xinhua said with a laugh. He himself was only wearing a shirt and trousers, much more casually dressed.

Hearing this, Zhuge Yun laughed again, and casually took off his suit jacket, handing it to his assistant. Indeed, wearing so many clothes in such hot weather, even with air conditioning in the hotel, was truly hot.

"Changxiu is the most outstanding successor of the Dan Yu Family, nurtured with the family’s full effort, and is also deeply favored by the old Clan Leader of the Dan Yu Family, Dan Yu Yilang. His status in the Dan Yu Family is even higher than his father, Dan Yu Xinchang. Therefore, for the sake of saving Changxiu, the Dan Yu Family should be bringing their utmost sincerity this time."

Zhuge Yun led them to the top floor and briefly introduced the Dan Yu Family to them.

Sisi’s eyes lit up; she hadn’t expected to hook such a big fish by accident!

Tian Xinhua laughed and said, "Anyway, the initiative is in our hands now, later it will all depend on Ayun’s ability."

Zhuge Yun revealed a confident smile, "Don’t worry, we’ll definitely make the other party bleed heavily."

Dan Yu Xinchang was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an average build, bearing a certain resemblance to Changxiu. He was extremely polite to Sisi and the others, bending almost to a right angle in his greeting—if not for the deep-seated hatred, Sisi might have actually felt a bit sorry for him.

It must be said that these people from the island nation are truly cunning. They abide by the principle that one cannot be blamed for being overly courteous, and no matter if they know someone or not, or have a grudge or not, they start with a deep bow, lowering their postures to the dust. In doing so, strangers might turn into acquaintances, and those with grudges might lower their guard a little, calculating to the extreme when it comes to human nature.

What is most disgusting is that one moment they could be bowing respectfully, and the next they could turn into murdering demons, their speed in changing faces could truly be considered rare in the world.

Sisi and her group also returned a ninety-degree bow with complete respect. Even if there were grudges, they couldn’t skimp on decorum!

Dan Yu Xinchang smiled, his voice deep and steady, very pleasant to the ear. Moreover, the man was well-informed and witty in conversation, completely concealing any stress he was feeling at the moment.

If it wasn’t for his constant habit of clenching his left hand into a fist beneath the table, Sisi would have really believed this man wasn’t the slightest bit worried about his son!

Dan Yu Xinchang brought his own interpreter, but since both Sisi and Zhuge Yun could speak Japanese, the interpreter was rendered unnecessary and went off to the side to drink tea.

Sisi was not in a hurry either, slowly sipping her tea while listening to Dan Yu Xinchang play the emotional card, talking about how the two countries were allies and how the Dan Yu Family has always been friendly towards her country and so on.

Sisi, growing impatient, coldly said after the other party finished speaking, "Friendly? To my knowledge, your esteemed father Dan Yu Yilang’s hands were stained with a lot of the blood of our people during the Second World War!"

Dan Yu Xinchang’s expression changed; the fact that his father was involved in the war against China was something his family had tried to cover up over the years, and not many people knew of it anymore, as it wasn’t a glorious affair. But how did Miss He come to know of this?

Could it be she had uncovered something? The next words from Sisi confirmed Dan Yu Xinchang’s suspicion.

"Back then, your father captured my great-grandparents and grandfather in their attempt to steal the secret formula of He Family Wine. Failing to get the formula and furious from embarrassment, he callously killed my great-grandparents and grandfather. That was the grudge of the older generation. Now let’s talk about this generation. Your son, Changxiu, used his grandfather’s old trick again, trying to abduct me. I was just luckier that Changxiu didn’t succeed. Is this the friendliness your Dan Yu Family shows towards our people? Truly an eye-opener indeed!"

Sisi couldn’t help but sneer, while Dan Yu Xinchang was no longer able to maintain his previous good demeanor, his face suddenly stiffened.

Zhuge Yun was unaware of the grudges between the He Family and the Dan Yu Family; he was only assigned by his superiors to come and help Sisi negotiate, with his task being to secure as many benefits as possible for our side.

Now hearing what Sisi had said, he too became united with her in their enmity. The He Family had shown him kindness, and these people before him were the He Family’s enemies, thus they were also the enemies of Zhuge Yun.

Zhuge Yun had already decided that later he would certainly scrape the other party down to their bare bones. However, having been a diplomat for many years, he has long cultivated the skill to remain composed even if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of him, his face still smiling pleasantly, without even a twitch of his eyebrows.
