Chapter 83 Haven't you made enough trouble?

As soon as the plane door opened, Yan You rushed out, not even bothering to grab her luggage, and ran wildly through the VIP passage.

Du Yunchuan followed slowly behind her, watching her stagger to flag down a taxi and squeeze in like a fugitive, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Master, to the Yan family villa! Quickly!"

The taxi sped away, and Du Yunchuan then took out his phone and sent a voice message: "I've dropped the person off, but it looks like they're going home to complain."

A new message popped up: Tell someone to keep an eye on her.

Yan You rushed into the gate of the Yan family villa.

In the living room, Zhou Yaqin was sitting on the sofa, leisurely flipping through a magazine.

"Mom!" Yan You cried out as she rushed over and buried her face in Zhou Yaqin's arms, her body trembling with anger and sorrow.

Zhou Yaqin was startled by her daughter's sudden action and quickly hugged her, asking worriedly, "Youyou? What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Mommy quickly!"

Yan You sobbed, her words tumbling out incoherently, "Mom! That bitch Yan Shuang actually dared to..."

She excitedly recounted the horrifying scene in the lounge, hoping her mother would share her hatred of the enemy.

Zhou Yaqin listened carefully. Her tense body and worried expression relaxed quietly after she fully understood that she had only witnessed Yan Shuang and Shang Qiuzhu being intimate, rather than any other more serious accident.

The worry in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by a calm that came from careful consideration.

She took out a tissue and wiped Yan You's tears: "Okay, okay, don't cry. I thought it was something serious. Look at you, you scared your mother."

Yan You was taken aback, puzzled by her mother's sudden calm: "Mom? Isn't this a big deal? That's Shang Qiuzhu! He's my fiancé! He and Yan Shuang..."

"Mom knows, Mom knows." Zhou Yaqin interrupted her, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable air of appeasement. "Youyou, listen to Mom. Shuangshuang is still your sister, she's a member of the Yan family. She's not some wild woman from outside, right?"

Yan You's eyes widened in disbelief that her mother would say such a thing.

Zhou Yaqin continued to coax, "It's better for Qiu Zhu to be with Shuangshuang than for him to be entangled by those unknown and scheming women outside. That would only cause more trouble. At least, the meat stays in the pot and is still part of the Yan family. It won't affect the fundamentals."

"How can this be the same!" Yan You shrieked. "They betrayed me! Yan Shuang is a slut! How can you still speak up for them? As long as it doesn't affect the marriage? How can it not affect it! He's already done that with Yan Shuang, is his next step to break off the engagement and marry her? What am I supposed to do then?!"

Zhou Yaqin patted Yan You on the back, her tone resolute: "Silly child, don't worry, he can't marry Yan Shuang."

Yan You's sobbing stopped abruptly, and she stared blankly at her mother: "...Why?"

Zhou Yaqin picked up her phone from the table and said while swiping the screen, "Yesterday afternoon, when you weren't home, Mrs. Lin came over in person."

"Mrs. Lin?" Yan You didn't react for a moment.

“Yes, the Lin family, Lin Chengyu’s mother.” Zhou Yaqin found what she was looking for, turned the phone screen towards Yan You, and smiled meaningfully. “She came to propose marriage on behalf of her son, and she’s talking about Shuangshuang. She also said that Chengyu recently went to Los Angeles, and it was for Shuangshuang.”

Yan You stared blankly at her phone screen.

It was a candid photo with a blue sky and sea in the background, seemingly taken at some kind of air base.

Beside Yan Shuang, whom she hated to the core, was Lin Chengyu, dressed in a flight suit, who was slightly tilting his head and kissing Yan Shuang intimately in mid-air!

"Mrs. Lin is very happy, saying that her son has finally come to his senses and knows how to actively pursue girls. That's why she couldn't wait to share it with me. You see, Shuangshuang has Lin Chengyu now, so why would she still be eyeing Shang Qiuzhu? So, you can just focus on being Mrs. Shang and don't worry about anything else."

Looking at Lin Chengyu's focused and smiling eyes as he looked at Yan Shuang in the photo, and then comparing them to Yan Shuang in Shang Qiuzhu's arms... a more complex and indescribable bitterness and jealousy welled up in Yan You's heart.

"That's not true! Mom! How can you be so calm? This is Lin Chengyu! Yan Shuang hooked up with Shang Qiuzhu behind my back and then hooked up with Lin Chengyu! She's a fickle, promiscuous slut! She stole my things! She steals everything!"

She grabbed Zhou Yaqin's arm and shook it hysterically: "You have to stand up for me! Go and scold her! Go and hit her! Kick her out of the Yan family! How dare she treat me like this! Mom! Didn't you always love me the most? Go and tell Dad that she won't get anything! Go now!"

Yan You went berserk, hurling insults at Yan Shuang without restraint, demanding that her mother immediately stand up for her and punish Yan Shuang with ruthless measures.

She was so engrossed in her immense pain and sense of injustice that she didn't notice Zhou Yaqin's increasingly somber expression.

"Enough!" Zhou Yaqin shouted sharply, "Yan You! Haven't you made enough of a scene?!"

Yan You was stunned by her sudden harsh rebuke. Her cries and curses were stuck in her throat. She could only stare at her mother, whose face had suddenly changed, with her red and swollen eyes.

Zhou Yaqin stood up, looking down at her. The perfunctory comfort from before was gone, replaced by stark reality and indifference: "Calling her a 'bitch' all the time? She's a bitch, but what are you? She's the daughter of the Yan family, and so are you! You're using such vile language. Where's your manners? Have they been eaten by dogs?"

"I..." Yan You was stunned by the barrage of scolding.

"Me, make the decisions? Why should I make decisions for you? Just because you can't keep an eye on your own man?" Zhou Yaqin's tone turned harsh. "Let me tell you, Yan You, in this family, interests are the most important thing! Yan Shuang was able to get involved with the Lin family, that's her skill! Madam Lin came to propose marriage in person, don't you understand what that means? It means that the cooperation between our Yan family and the Lin family will be further strengthened in the future! That's a huge benefit!"

Looking at her daughter's face, which had turned deathly pale, her tone remained unchanged, growing even colder: "Are you acting like you're going to die here? Is your brain filled with water?"

Yan You stared blankly at her mother's familiar yet unfamiliar face, the face that had once doted on her and granted her every wish, but now it was filled with calculation and coldness.

So it turns out... so there are prerequisites to being pampered.

It turns out that she, like Yan Shuang, was just a pawn used by her mother to gain benefits. But now, Yan Shuang's pawn has moved to an important position, so the grievances she suffered can be easily erased, and she can even be blamed.

Zhou Yaqin seemed to think she hadn't made herself clear enough, and coldly added, "Listen to me carefully: don't cause trouble for Yan Shuang again, and don't go around spreading rumors that could damage the relationship with the Lin family. Just obediently wait to marry into the Shang family and do what you're supposed to do. Otherwise, don't even mention Yan Shuang, I'll be the first to object!"

After saying that, she stopped looking at the distraught Yan You, bent down to pick up the magazine that had fallen on the ground, turned around and walked upstairs, leaving Yan You standing alone in the brightly lit but chillingly cold living room.

An unprecedented, chilling hatred began to fester and spread wildly within her heart.

And all of this is because of Yan Shuang!

If it weren't for Yan Shuang, Shangqiu Zhu wouldn't have changed his mind!

If Yan Shuang hadn't gotten involved with the Lin family, her mother wouldn't have treated her like this!

It's Yan Shuang! It's all Yan Shuang!

She hated Yan Shuang to the core.

An unprecedented hatred.

Zhou Yaqin walked up to the second floor on the soft carpet, her lips curving upwards involuntarily.

These two daughters, I really didn't raise them in vain!

Especially Yan Shuang, who is usually quiet, but at the crucial moment she has such ability to win over someone like Lin Chengyu. Even Madam Lin personally came to visit, which is more important than Shang Sheng.

She could almost imagine how much the Yan family's status in the city would rise once the news of the two women marrying out spread.

Those top-tier wealthy ladies who used to have to fawn over her will likely look at her differently from now on and take the initiative to befriend her. With the Lin and Shang families as in-laws, won't the Yan Group's projects be a piece of cake?

She walked to the dressing table, looked at her still well-maintained self in the mirror, and seemed to already see her future glamorous life among socialites.

Just as she was happily picking up a bottle of serum, her phone, which was on the dressing table, suddenly rang sharply, and the words "Zhenye" ​​flashed on the screen.

Zhou Yaqin was in a good mood and answered the phone with a smile in her voice: "Honey? Why are you calling me at this hour..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Zhenye's urgent voice on the other end of the phone abruptly interrupted her: "Yaqin! Come to Hong Kong quickly! Something's happened!"

Zhou Yaqin's smile froze instantly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the company?"
