Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 81 Wen Nan's Examination

Gu Jinxing received the Floating Light Brocade and had it delivered to Shen Wancheng that very evening.

He knew that Shen Wancheng didn't want him to go with her to see Ms. Lan, so the next day he only sent a driver to pick up Shen Wancheng and the others. Gu Jinxing himself was very conscious of not going with them.

Shen Wancheng originally thought that since Ms. Lan was so famous and the wealthy He Gu family praised her clothing products so highly, she must live in a good location on Hong Kong Island.

But the driver took them out of the city.

After a drive of more than an hour, we arrived at a small fishing village.

There are no high-rise buildings in Central from here; only rows of three- or four-story buildings stand side by side.

The first floor is full of various general stores and seafood shops.

The passersby were also dressed much more simply.

A faint fishy smell filled the air.

After getting out of the car, Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh at the sight around her.

"It turns out that there are old and dilapidated places on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island, like Yuecheng."

"Urban development hasn't reached this point yet."

Shen Yao looked around and, after spotting a car, grabbed Shen Wancheng's arm.

"Sister, look at that car. It looks really nice, but it doesn't fit in here at all."

Shen Wancheng followed Shen Yao's gaze and saw that although the car Shen Yao was pointing to was in a low-key color and style, she was not mistaken; it was a Porsche, which was unlikely to be a car that the residents of this small fishing village would usually drive.

Shen Wancheng guessed, "They might also be people who came to visit Ms. Lan."

Shen Wancheng didn't take it seriously and said to the driver who brought them here.

"Let's go, please take us to Ms. Lan's residence."

The driver nodded in agreement and led Shen Wancheng and the other two into a small alley.

The driver walked to the gate of a small building with a wall.

"Miss Shen, this is the place."

"Thank you, please go back to the car and wait for us."

The driver nodded, but did not leave. Instead, he walked to the side, appearing as if he would not disturb Shen Wancheng and the others, but would keep an eye on them.

It's possible that Gu Jinxing instructed him to follow along and protect Shen Wancheng's safety.

Shen Wancheng didn't pay any attention and went up to knock on the door herself.

Who is it?

A female voice immediately responded from inside the room.

A moment later, the door opened, and a woman who looked to be around thirty years old appeared.

"Who are you looking for?"

Shen Wancheng said politely, "Hello, I am from the He family, surnamed Shen. I am looking for Ms. Lan."

The woman thought for a moment and asked, "Who is Ms. He Lin to you?"

Shen Wancheng answered truthfully, "Xu Pingtao is my maternal grandfather, and I call He Lin my grandmother."

Shen Wancheng said this because the He family were Ms. Lan's long-time clients, and it would be easier for Ms. Lan to see them if the He family's name was used.

However, Shen Wancheng is not a legitimate member of the He family. If she doesn't clarify this and only says that they are He Lin's granddaughters, it inevitably raises suspicions of insincerity and deliberate deception. After all, everyone in Hong Kong's elite circles knows that Shen Wancheng is only Xu Pingtao's own granddaughter.

However, Shen Wancheng's answer was indeed a bit strange. Xu Pingtao and He Lin were a couple, but Shen Wancheng called one her maternal grandfather and the other her paternal grandmother.

The woman inside the door looked Shen Wancheng up and down strangely for a few moments.

"Wait here, I'll go ask my mother."

"It's troublesome."

The woman went back into the house.

Shen Yao whispered from the side.

"So she's Ms. Lan's daughter."

"Sister, do you think Ms. Lan will see us?"

Shen Wancheng shook her head. "I don't know."

If Ms. Lan doesn't appear, she can only tell Ms. Lan's daughter in advance that Li Gang will represent Japan in the competition.

Then she followed Liu Bei's example and visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times.

They could even rent a house right here and wait until Ms. Lan agrees.

When you're asking someone for a favor, you should always show sincerity.

Shen Wancheng showed no arrogance or pretension in this regard.

To Shen Wancheng's delight, Ms. Lan's daughter came out again a few minutes later.

“My mother asked you to come in and sit down first.”

A smile spread across Shen Wancheng's eyes.

"Sorry to bother you."

The woman led Shen Wancheng and the other two into the room, saying as she did so.

“My surname is Zhou, and I am Ms. Lan’s daughter.”

Zhou Yunqing only mentioned her surname, as she had no intention of befriending Shen Wancheng, and her tone was indifferent.

"Ms. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you."

“Every month, people come to see my mother because of her reputation; I’m used to it.”

Shen Yao cautiously interjected, "Sister Zhou, did your mother reject all those people?"

Zhou Yunqing glanced at Shen Yao, a strange smile playing on her lips.

"Rejected them all."

Zhou Yunqing's tone was indifferent, as if to say, "You should also be prepared, it's hopeless."

Shen Yao looked sullen.

This small building is just an ordinary self-built house, with a very ordinary style and decoration.

Shen Wancheng and the others entered the main room and found a woman sitting on the wooden sofa.

The woman was wearing a black Chanel-style suit, and her long, black hair was clearly meticulously styled, slightly curled—the most fashionable hairstyle right now.

Anyone could tell at a glance that this woman was either rich or noble.

This woman was Gu Jinxing's mother, Wen Nan.

Wen Nan originally wanted to see if Gu Jinxing was going to bring the Floating Light Brocade to Ms. Lan.

She thought that she had a personal relationship with Ms. Lan, so if Gu Jinxing really came to see Ms. Lan, she could put in a good word for him.

Unexpectedly, not long after she arrived, it wasn't Gu Jinxing who came to visit next, but Shen Wancheng.

When Zhou Yunqing came in and spoke to Ms. Lan, Ms. Lan was initially going to refuse to meet him directly.

But Wen Nan wanted to go to the He family to discuss the marriage on behalf of Gu Jinxing in a couple of days, and she hadn't met her future daughter-in-law yet.

Moreover, I've heard a lot of bad rumors about this future daughter-in-law, so I wanted to take this opportunity to meet her.

Wen Nan then told Ms. Lan about Shen Wancheng's identity, which is why Ms. Lan agreed to let Shen Wancheng into the house to talk.

Wen Nan turned her gaze to Shen Wancheng as soon as she entered the main room.

They scrutinized him without any attempt to conceal it, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

Shen Wancheng felt a little uncomfortable because of Wen Nan's gaze, but she didn't want to cause any trouble, so she smiled and nodded to Wen Nan.

Wen Nan continued to stare at Shen Wancheng, her expression unchanged.

Shen Yao also noticed Wen Nan's impolite gaze. Thinking that Wen Nan's attention was not on her, Shen Yao glared at Wen Nan fiercely a few times.

"Please have a seat, my mother will be out in a bit."

Zhou Yunqing pointed to the sofa on the other side and asked Shen Wancheng and the others to sit down.

He then sat down next to Wen Nan without any intention of introducing them.

Zhou Yunqing and Wen Nan are old best friends and have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Zhou Yunqing also knew that Shen Wancheng was about to become Wen Nan's daughter-in-law, but Wen Nan had never even met her.

Zhou Yunqing felt that neither Gu Jinxing nor Shen Wancheng respected Wen Nan.

That's why he treated Shen Wancheng so coldly.
