Chapter 237 Disdain

Qu Jingyou knew Yan Chengyu earlier than Lin Xiyin.

Of course, it wasn't Qu Jianhang who initiated the meeting.

Even after recognizing Lin Xiyin, Qu Jianhang never considered letting them meet, let alone a niece who was a step removed from his family.

Qu Jingyou met Yan Chengyu by chance.

That time, Qu Jingyou had a conflict with her family and went to her aunt crying.

When it turned out no one was home at her aunt's house, she knew the password and got in by herself.

Qu Jianhang dotes on this little niece, and Qu Jingyou can basically go into any of the places she lives.

After entering the house, Qu Jingyou nestled on the sofa and ate snacks.

She somehow fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside.

The house was quiet; Qu Jianhang hadn't returned yet.

Before coming here, Qu Jingyou wasn't sure if Qu Jianhang would come back tonight.

However, she didn't necessarily intend to see Qu Jianhang.

She had just had a few words with her family and wanted to find a place to hide.

She knew Qu Jianhang was very busy, so she didn't intend to bother her.

If she comes back, Qu Jingyou is prepared to complain to her, saying that her parents are authoritarian and old-fashioned.

If they're not coming back, then forget it.

She was just thinking of staying here that night when she heard a noise at the door.

Auntie's back!

She didn't even bother to put on her shoes before rushing over, shouting, "Auntie!"

They were dumbfounded.

A man came in.

Her build is similar to Qu Chongyou's, with broad shoulders and long legs. The key is that she is exceptionally good-looking, with handsome features and a calm demeanor. Although she looks older than her age, she is particularly charming!

Qu Jianhang blinked, momentarily stunned.

Yan Chengyu was also stunned.

He was unusually free today, so he called Qu Jianhang near the end of the workday to ask where she was.

Qu Jianhang said he was still busy at the company.

Yan Chengyu wanted to meet, but Qu Jianhang thought for a moment and told him to go back to his side.

Yan Chengyu has come many times before, and this time he bought a lot of groceries, planning to cook for her when he gets back.

As it turned out, there was a strange little girl in Qu Jianhang's house?

Qu Jingyou finally came to her senses and looked at the man in front of her: "Um, did you come to the wrong place?"

How could Yan Chengyu have gone to the wrong place? Besides, the password was correct.

He's come so many times.

"You are..." He guessed for a moment, "Jingjing?"

Qu Jingyou's eyes widened: "How do you know me? Who are you? Are you my aunt's friend?"

Yan Chengyu smiled and said, "It really is you. Yes, I'm your aunt's... friend."

At this time, Qu Jianhang had not yet acknowledged Yan Chengyu's status. Even though the two were already very close, she still had no intention of officially recognizing him as her official wife.

That's pretty awful.

But judging from his demeanor, it was hard for Qu Jingyou not to have some thoughts.

He came in carrying a shopping bag and went straight to the kitchen, where he put the fresh fruits and vegetables he had bought into the refrigerator one by one.

They clearly know their way around.

Qu Jingyou was unsure whether to stay or leave.

Yan Chengyu spoke up: "Wait a few minutes, I'll pack my things and leave right away."

"Huh?" Qu Jingyou was taken aback and asked, "Did you make an appointment with your aunt?"

Yan Chengyu didn't know if Qu Jingyou had made an appointment with Qu Jianhang, but Qu Jianhang was too busy to remember, which led to this situation.

He could only say, "No, I just came to deliver something to her."

"Oh, oh..." Qu Jingyou was still a little stunned: "I see..."

As the two were talking, Yan Chengyu's phone rang.

He answered the phone: "Yes, I've arrived..."

He looked up at Qu Jingyou: "Jingjing is at your house, have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyou immediately waved her hand.

Qu Jianhang was also taken aback: "Jingjing is with me? You saw her? Why is she here? Give her the phone."

Yan Chengyu hummed in agreement and handed over the phone: "Auntie wants to talk to you."

Qu Jingyou quickly answered, "Auntie!"

There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

Qu Jianhang was still in the office when he asked her, "Why are you here? Did you have a fight with your parents?"

Qu Jingyou sniffed and hummed in agreement.

Qu Jianhang had a bit of a headache. She hadn't expected Qu Jingyou to suddenly visit, causing her to bump into Yan Chengyu.

"I'll be back in a bit, give the phone to Uncle Yan."

"Oh." Qu Jingyou obediently hummed in agreement and handed the phone back to Uncle Yan: "Uncle Yan."

Yan Chengyu smiled at her and took it.

Qu Jianhang said, "I'm sorry, Jingjing suddenly came over without my knowledge. She had a fight with my brother and sister-in-law and didn't tell me she was coming."

"Then I'll go back first," Yan Chengyu said. "I'll cook for you next time."

"I'm so sorry," Qu Jianhang said. "Do you have time tomorrow?"

Yan Chengyu said, "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

"That……"

"It's nothing," Yan Chengyu said. "Come back soon, the girl seems a bit down."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Chengyu walked towards the entrance.

Qu Jingyou saw him off from behind, saying, "Take care, Uncle Yan."

Although I don't know him personally, I always felt that he had an extraordinary presence and was not an ordinary person.

After Yan Chengyu left, Qu Jingyou quickly sent a message to her aunt: He's gone! Aunt, is he your friend? Just a regular friend?

She doesn't look like it.

Qu Jianhang doesn't have any ordinary friends who can just walk into her house!

Qu Jingyou belatedly realized that she might have ruined her aunt's plans.

The man seemed to know the way well; it was clear he wasn't a first-timer.

A mature couple met at home that evening. Judging from Yan Chengyu's expression, it seemed like he was going to cook.

It's impossible to do it just for a meal.

She texted Qu Jianhang again: Aunt, did I become a huge third wheel?

Qu Jianhang replied to her only after he finished his work: "Nothing of the sort."

When Qu Jianhang returned, it was already past seven o'clock. Since she didn't know how to cook, she took Qu Jingyou out for dinner and then sent her home.

Although Qu Jingyou was somewhat reluctant, Qu Jianhang said that she had a multinational conference that evening and was very busy.

Upon hearing this, Qu Jingyou immediately felt sorry for her and told her to hurry up and go to bed early after she finished her work.

As a result, after Qu Jianhang took her home, he went directly to Yan Chengyu's place.

Yan Chengyu had already eaten and taken a shower. Hearing a noise at the door, he looked over curiously.

Aside from his secretary and driver, almost no one visits his home.

But at this hour, the secretary is unlikely to come; if she were to come, she would definitely have told him in advance.

Thinking of a possibility, Yan Chengyu felt a surge of joy.

But he quickly denied his own idea.

How could Qu Jianhang possibly abandon his niece to come looking for him?

When Qu Jianhang actually appeared in front of him, Yan Chengyu was overjoyed.

"Why are you here? Isn't Jingjing with you?"

He strode over, his eyes filled with joy.

Qu Jianhang changed his shoes and walked inside: "Checking up on you. Let's see if you're hiding any women in your home behind my back."

Yan Chengyu hugged her: "Okay, you're welcome anytime."

He really didn't expect Qu Jianhang to come.

Qu Jianhang asked him, "Have you eaten?"

"We've eaten. What about you? Where's Jingjing?"

“I ate too, I ate with Jingjing, and then I sent her back.” Qu Jianhang put his arm around his waist and looked up at him: “The little girl ran to my place without telling me, did she scare you?”

"How could that be?" Yan Chengyu said, "I'm not afraid of girls, but if it were a young man, that would be the death of me."

"There aren't any young men for now, but who knows in the future." Qu Jianhang smiled at him, "It all depends on how you perform."

"You dare." Yan Chengyu picked her up and carried her horizontally. "If we really see that young man, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing! You're still got it, you're as good as ever... Hey, I haven't showered yet!"

"I'll help you wash it."

This was the first time Yan Chengyu had met Qu Jianhang's family.

Afterwards, Qu Jingyou asked Qu Jianhang about it, but Qu Jianhang only said that it was an adult matter and children should not pry into it.

However, Qu Jingyou gradually found out later.

They learned Yan Chengyu's identity and the relationship between the two of them.

Qu Jingyou became a big fan of Yan Chengyu, and later she would even go to the TV to watch him.

She thought Yan Chengyu was really outstanding; not only was he a high-ranking official, but he was also so handsome!

They are a perfect match!

She's a bit older, but she knows how to care for people!

Anyway, Qu Jingyou strongly approves of the two of them being together.

Now that they are married, she is one of the happiest people.

Next, it was Pei Muye and Lin Xiyin's turn.

Qu Jingyou also has many regrets about her sister and brother-in-law's story.

After all, she had questioned Lin Xiyin's identity when she first met her.

To attend such a gathering, one must be either rich or powerful, yet Lin Xiyin only drives a car worth a little over 100,000 yuan.

After learning about her story with Pei Muye, Qu Jingyou hated Pei Muye with a passion for a time.

But now that she knows the truth, she feels quite regretful.

It was just a misunderstanding that caused Lin Xiyin and Pei Muye to miss each other for so many years.

Fortunately, the ending was good, and they were finally reunited.

At Yan Chengyu and Qu Jianhang's wedding, Qu Jingyou was preoccupied with wondering when she could attend her sister's wedding.

Although it seems to be scheduled for September, there are still several months until September.

She wouldn't feel at ease unless she was personally present at the wedding.

She was chatting with some friends when her phone rang, and an unfamiliar phone number appeared on the screen.

She answered, "Hello."

"Jingjing, it's me."

"Why is it you?" Qu Jingyou frowned. "If I don't want to answer your call, changing your number won't help."

After saying that, she hung up.

Her friend next to her asked, "Who is it?"

Qu Jingyou said, "Nobody, it's just a nuisance call."

Actually, it was Lu Zuofan who called.

She didn't know what was wrong with this man; he'd been pestering her since last year.

He frequently messaged and called her, and even arranged various chance encounters.

Qu Jingyou had no feelings for him, even though he was tall and handsome.

But Qu Jingyou knew about what he had done before.

In her own home, her parents are deeply in love, and Qu Chongyou is a devoted man.

None of the other relatives in the family are like Lu Zuofan.

She utterly despised men like that.

Yes, she has no right to interfere with how others live their lives.

The girls who dated Lu Zuofan were all there voluntarily, for his money.

These are all perfectly reasonable.

Qu Jingyou respects his outlook on life, but that doesn't mean she can accept it.

She longed for the kind of love that her parents, aunt, and sister had.

But clearly, Lu Zuofan couldn't give her that.
