Her uncle had gone out looking for the distributors early in the morning. But by the time he returned, it was already late at night. Shi Guang did not head back to school today. After coaxing her grandma to sleep, she went out to sit with her auntie in the living room, waiting for the return of her uncle.
When they saw him return, her auntie went up to welcome him immediately while asking concernedly,
… How was it? Did you manage to find any distributors?
Her uncle gripped his fist tight with a grim expression. There was no need for him to spell out the answer.
It was already this late into the season, and the distributors had long stocked up with enough stock. Furthermore, because they were unfamiliar with him and these were high-end grapes with a high pricing, they naturally were not willing to keep too much stock.
The atmosphere in the living room turned heavy instantly.
Shi Guang felt both sad and guilty.
It was all because of her. Yang Sitong had only attacked her auntie and uncle because she was going to marry Lu Yanchen.
Should she give him a call? After all, they had promised that he would not let Yang Sitong cause harm to her family members.
But if that were the case, Yang Sitong would definitely be delighted.
For her to have to go look for Lu Yanchen for help in such a small matter, the Lu Family would definitely have some misgivings toward her. And by then, she would not be the only one looked down upon by the Lus—her auntie and uncle would be too.
That must not happen!
There was still time—she could definitely do it!
She looked at her uncle.
Could you give me a copy of the distributor list as well? I’ll go talk to them as well tomorrow. With an extra person, there’s extra hope.
Her uncle handed her the list. Not only were there distributors, there were a couple of wine distilleries.
The next day, Shi Guang went by some of the distributors—it was really hard indeed. She couldn’t even get to meet the bosses.
It was even more difficult for those wine distilleries. Most of them would have their own grape fields, and would be even more prudent in their selection of grapes.
She spent the whole day hard at work without even going for training, yet she reaped nothing in return.
It was going to be time for the finals soon, and her training schedule was going to be really tight. Her coach would definitely not agree to her taking frequent breaks.
Did she really have no other choice but to seek Lu Yanchen’s help and have her, her uncle, and auntie looked down upon by the Lu Family for life?
Tired and thirsty, Shi Guang found a small shop and ordered a bowl of dessert, scrolling through her phone as she ate to see if she could have any breakthroughs.
When she scrolled by her moments, she caught sight of a post made by Chu Mubei. He seemed to be inviting people for dinner, and there was a long list of guests attached to it—they seemed to be the sponsors for the movie he had invested in.
Scrolling, scrolling, Shi Guang caught sight of a name. Wang Renjie… That name was kind of familiar.
Her mind made the connection right away.
Eh? Wasn’t this someone on the list her uncle had given her?
She took out the list and matched them right away—this was the boss of a wine distillery.
So, he was a sponsor for Chu Mubei’s movie!
Lu Yanchen was the one planning behind the scenes for that movie company of Chu Mubei’s. If that were the case, would Lu Yanchen be attending this dinner? Then as his wife to be, wouldn’t it be more than normal for her to accompany him to such a dinner?
If that were the case, it wouldn’t be considered as her looking for Lu Yanchen for help!
Shi Guang’s eyes twinkled as she rubbed her chin while thinking about it before sending a text over to Lu Yanchen.
<You there?>
Not long after, she received Lu Yanchen’s reply.
<Not there.>
FUFUFU! Did he have to be so haughty? If he’s not there, then was it a ghost that was replying? But… since she had a request to make, forget it! She wouldn’t get calculative with him over this.
She held her cool and sent another text.
<Do you eat grapes? I’ll treat you to some sweet grapes.>
