Chapter 31: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Seeing Yun Qing standing there hesitantly, Yan Chen said coldly with a hint of sarcasm, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Yun Qing thought for a moment, then said, "Let's leave immediately."
Then, without hesitation, she left. After walking out of Yan Chen's house, she asked the system hopefully, "System, does this count as completing the achievement of being kicked out by Yan Chen?"
System: ...Are you sure he wants to get rid of you?
Yun Qing received no response and, somewhat dejected, took out her phone to call a car.
When she turned on her phone, the background was a very ordinary landscape photo, which she was used to and didn't notice anything wrong with it.
Just then, a car pulled up and stopped in front of her. The driver smiled kindly and said, "Ms. Lu, let me take you home!"
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't go home first. Could you please take me to the mall?"
It's obvious that this is Yan Chen's idea. Given her personality, she must be overjoyed and naturally wouldn't refuse. However, if she goes directly back to the Lu family, she might be exposed if she runs into someone from the Lu family.
However, if Yan Chen continues like this, it won't fit her character if she doesn't secretly show off everywhere!
Yun Qing was somewhat worried. Should she make Yan Chen realize just how wicked she, the vicious female supporting character, really was?
As she thought about it, she sent Yan Chen a message to thank him for his thoughtfulness.
Those seemingly sentimental but actually superficial and insincere words of thanks completely ruined Yan Chen's appetite, who was already feeling resentful.
Yan Chen was angry, but since he couldn't vent his anger on Yun Qing, he naturally needed to find a scapegoat, and Yan Xiu was just the right person for him!
As a result, Yan Xiu's company was not only suppressed, but the old man also had a problem with him.
*
When Yan Chen took some time to visit Yan Mingxuan and his wife, he happened to find Yan Xiu, who was in a terrible predicament, being called back by the old man for questioning.
The two met at the door, Yan Xiu's eyes filled with murderous intent.
He hadn't expected Yan Chen to be so ruthless. All he had done was have a little interest in Lu Yunqing, and he hadn't even managed to steal her away.
Is it necessary to go to such extremes?
Yan Chen, however, remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and went into the house first.
Yan Xiu stared at his back, gritting his teeth in hatred. He barely managed to control his expression, suppressing his anger, and walked in with a haggard and melancholy look on his face.
The old man, Yan Mingxuan and his wife, and Lu Miaomiao were all in the living room.
When Madam Yan saw her son return, she said happily, "You're back just in time. The kitchen has prepared your favorite dishes."
She didn't care about anything else and just talked to Yan Chen, asking about his health. Yan Mingxuan watched from the side and would say a few words from time to time. The family of three looked very happy and harmonious, making everyone else seem like outsiders.
When the old man wasn't looking for trouble, he never bothered with Yan Chen, and this time was no exception. The difference was that this time he also ignored Yan Xiu, his face darkening, and everyone could tell he was very unhappy.
Lu Miaomiao sat alone on one side, her expression somewhat gloomy, her eyes occasionally falling on Yan Chen, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
However, her gaze made people uncomfortable, causing Madam Yan to frown frequently and feel displeased.
She regretted her impulsive decision to have Lu Miaomiao come to bring good luck.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would have been better off being unreasonable and insisting on letting Yunqing marry into the family.
Although Yun Qing abandoned Yan Chen without hesitation when she saw that he wouldn't wake up, at least she didn't intend to harm him!
Lu Miaomiao clearly has a problem.
Although she hasn't found out who instructed Lu Miaomiao back then, she recently noticed that Lu Miaomiao and Yan Xiu sometimes exchange glances, which always seemed a bit unusual. She wouldn't believe it if someone said that she and Yan Xiu had no connection.
She felt that the two of them had most likely teamed up.
Madam Yan thought she should remind Yan Chen to be careful later.
Just then, Yan Chen's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and calmly put it back, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
However, Madam Yan, who accidentally glanced at his phone screen, was stunned for a moment.
If it were text, you might not even see it clearly if you glanced at it accidentally, but what Yan Chen received was... a pig.
The adorable, round little pig is rolling around, pouting and making little red hearts that are flying everywhere and making your eyes dazzle.
Is he with Yun Qing?
But judging from Yan Chen's expressionless face, he doesn't seem very happy.
Yan Chen was naturally not happy.
He had already softened his stance considerably, thinking he shouldn't take it so seriously.
As a result, it was discovered in the blink of an eye that Yun Qing's phone background was no longer a photo of them together, which shows how much she wanted to sever ties with him back then.
He could comfort himself that it was all in the past, and if Yun Qing coaxed him properly, he could let it go.
However, even though Yun Qing could clearly see that he was angry, she didn't really care why he was angry and left without a word.
These days, they're sending messages more and more frequently, but unfortunately, they're still so careless. The extra messages they send each day are just filled with emojis.
It's already quite impressive that Yan Chen wasn't driven to death by her.
Madam Yan muttered to herself for a moment, but did not ask any further questions, as the occasion was not appropriate.
Grandpa Yan also felt the occasion was inappropriate.
So although he ignored Yan Xiu, he did not directly confront him.
Until everyone sat down together and finished dinner, each with their own thoughts.
The old man then called Yan Xiu to his study.
This time, Lu Miaomiao was sensible. After glancing at Yan Chen, she went upstairs first, without disturbing the family of three.
Madam Yan had naturally realized that the old man's attitude was not right, and at this moment she couldn't help but look at Yan Chen, her eyes asking what was going on.
Yan Chen said, "It's nothing serious."
He merely let the old man know about Yan Xiu's meeting with his maternal grandfather.
Yan Xiu's maternal grandmother was not a good woman. She had an affair during her marriage and had long since divorced Yan Xiu's maternal grandfather.
Later, Yan Xiu's maternal grandfather devoted himself to his career and did not remarry. Now, his health is failing and there is no one to inherit his family property.
He didn't want his company, which he had worked so hard to build, to fall into the hands of outsiders, so he approached his grandson, Yan Xiu.
How could Yan Xiu possibly refuse such a good opportunity?
Although his maternal grandfather's company wasn't particularly impressive, it was still enough to catch his eye. It was practically free money, and it might even become an asset in his struggle with Yan Chen.
Yan Xiu had intended to keep this from the old man from the beginning, since he knew the old man very well.
In the old man's eyes, Yan Xiu's maternal grandmother was his white moonlight and cinnabar mole. She was perfect in every way. The fact that the two of them did not end up together was his biggest regret.
He was naturally filled with hostility towards Yan Xiu's maternal grandfather, the man who married his white moonlight, and even firmly believed that Yan Xiu's maternal grandfather must have been the one to wrong Yan Xiu's maternal grandmother first.
Yan Xiu secretly met with his maternal grandfather and even planned to take over his grandfather's estate. To the old man, this was a betrayal!
