Chapter 128: 128: Haven’t been able to give away the thing I’ve guarded for over twenty years.

Gu Feng followed Lin Yue to her circle of best friends, and before anyone could introduce him, he heard Jiang Xue and the others complaining, "Look at you, Lin Yue, asked you about Mr. Wei last night, you listened to all that juicy gossip and didn’t share a word?"

Lin Yue gave a sheepish smile.

It was still unclear whether the matter was a blessing or a curse, so it was best to keep a low profile and deal with it coolly.

"And, you actually got Ju a Tianfeng membership card?" The group of women immediately grew restless.

"Exactly, I don’t care, we also want to apply for Tianfeng Fund’s membership cards," they said.

"Me too."

For a while, all the women were tugging at Lin Yue’s arms, coquettishly shaking her.

Even Liu Yuan couldn’t help wanting a membership spot.

But she saw a subtle helpless bitterness on Lin Yue’s face.

She understood and knew the nature of the marriage between Lin Yue and Gu Feng.

But Jiang Xue and the others didn’t know, so it was normal for close friends to speak their minds without beating around the bush.

She also believed that if the roles were reversed, they would agree if Lin Yue asked.

The affections between women were simpler and more genuine than those among men.

Who could blame them for being so eager? Even Liu Yuan was tempted.

After all, those were financial products that could generate wealth!

These socialites were not like those heirs and scions.

Although they too had spending money beyond the reach of ordinary people, they did not own any shares of their family conglomerates to enjoy annual dividends.

After all, these women who were preparing to marry off generally were not allowed by their families to hold company shares or meddle in company operations.

That meant the socialite young ladies’ income depended solely on the pocket money given by their families.

Then, considering the money they spent on medical beauty, cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, travel, and other expenses, you might be surprised to find that sometimes they too suffered anxiety over not having enough money.

With an already limited annual allowance and the need to spend a lot on their appearance and maintenance, they had no stable avenues for accumulating wealth.

How could they not covet a share in the Tianfeng company?

It was rumored that a regular member could earn a return of 3 million on a yearly investment of 10 million!

If they could get regular memberships, stashing away 10 million at once would yield them 3 million annually, which is equivalent to 250,000 a month—enough for their routine maintenance and beautification!

And the returns only increased year by year.

For these ladies who neither possessed skills nor dreams and whose future was just to support their husbands and teach their children, it was truly a tailor-made financial plan!

Who wouldn’t be dazzled by that?

So, it was perfectly understandable that they insisted on asking Lin Yue for it without any reservations!

But Lin Yue was indeed in a difficult position.

Because she was not Gu Feng’s real wife, she didn’t have any right to enjoy or distribute Gu Feng’s assets.

The membership cards previously obtained for Ju and the others were accidental; she had them processed without knowing that Tianfeng belonged to Gu Feng.

"What Tianfeng membership card?" Lin Yue immediately played dumb.

"Stop pretending," Jiang Xue glared at her, "Ju has already told us, your husband is the actual controlling shareholder of the Tianfeng company!"

Lin Yue, trying to change the subject with difficulty, suddenly heard Gu Feng say generously to Lin Yue’s group of best friends with a smile, "It’s all possible. Just prepare your information, bank cards, and deposits, and I will give each of you a membership."

"That’s fantastic!"

"Oh my, Yueyue, your husband is so handsome!"

The group of women instantly excited and happy, began to pull at Lin Yue, wanting to get close.

Liu Yuan hesitated before looking at Gu Feng, "Director Gu, could I get one too?"

She didn’t want to trouble Lin Yue, but she truly wanted it.

"Everyone present will get one," Gu Feng nodded, then turned to Lin Yue and said, "I’ll go find Little Wei and the others."

"Okay," Lin Yue nodded and moved her lips. She didn’t make a sound, but Gu Feng understood the ’thank you’ she mouthed.

As soon as Gu Feng walked away, Liu Yuan immediately pulled Lin Yue aside and asked in a low voice, "Are you guys getting serious? He’s spoiling you way too much, isn’t he? Not only did he help your company through tough times, but he even dealt with the Zhang Family’s trouble for you, and now he’s generously giving out memberships just to maintain your face!"

"If you say he has no feelings for you, I won’t believe it even if you beat me!"

Lin Yue looked at Gu Feng’s broad and upright back, her face full of joy, and the sweetness in her eyes almost overflowing.

With a beaming smile, she said, "I don’t know if he’s being serious, but I’ve already gotten used to life with him."

With a mischievous grin, Liu Yuan asked, "Did you give it to him?"

"?" Lin Yue was puzzled, "Give what?"

Liu Yuan hinted with a smack of her lips, "You know, that thing."

Lin Yue: "Which thing?"

Liu Yuan cleared her throat softly, "The thing you’ve guarded for over twenty years."

Lin Yue’s face turned red in an instant, she checked to make sure no one was listening, then whispered in Liu Yuan’s ear with a grinding of her teeth, "I can’t give it away."

"You’re kidding?" Liu Yuan was shocked, "There are many men in Jiangcheng wracking their brains to get it, and you’re saying you can’t give it away? You should drink with him, create opportunities for yourself."

"Last time I created an opportunity for myself," Lin Yue said, embarrassed and with her face flushed, "But because I pass out after one drink, I didn’t create an opportunity for him, so he was too sober to take advantage. He ended up just covering me with a quilt."

"..." Liu Yuan gave her a thumbs-up, "You’re amazing!"
