Chapter 90 Are your parents going?

"You damned Guo Qiang, get out here right now!" Aunt Ruan shouted as she rushed home, before even entering the house.

Guo Qiang came out, his face full of innocence.

"Auntie, what's up?"

"I'm asking you, how did the ducks get out when that whole area was netted?" Aunt Ruan demanded sharply.

She ran to the lotus pond and saw flocks of ducks wreaking havoc on it.

It took her, Song Yuxia, and Peng Xiufang a long time to finally lock the ducks up again.

Guo Qiang feigned annoyance, "I forgot to close the door! Auntie, it's not my fault, I was busy, there are bound to be times when I couldn't keep an eye on it."

Aunt Ruan's eyes flashed with anger as she looked at his perfunctory apology, and she was instantly enraged.

"Do something right! If you ruin the lotus seeds we planted, I won't let you get away with it!"

Guo Qiang, looking like a rogue, shrugged.

"Auntie, I'm raising ducks legitimately. This is all real money I've invested. How can you say I'm doing something wrong? You're just prejudiced against me."

Aunt Ruan's face turned ashen with suppressed rage; she wished she could slap him twice across the face.

She glared at Guo Qiang fiercely, then stormed off.

She needed to get some advice from Yan Sui; she couldn't let Guo Qiang continue like this.

"Ruan Xiuhua!" Zhao Chunrong caught up. "I heard that those ducks ate all the lotus roots in the pond?"

The schadenfreude on his face was practically overflowing.

Aunt Ruan frowned. "Who told you that? We herded the ducks back in time."

Zhao Chunrong could not hide her disappointment. "I see."

Guo Qiang's ducks weren't up to par.

Aunt Ruan ignored her and quickly ran over to Yan Sui to explain the situation.

Yan Sui remained calm. "You're on vacation, so don't worry about it. By the way, could you ask Grandpa Wang if the bees I asked him to buy have arrived yet?"

"I asked, it will arrive tomorrow."

"Have all the people for that corn business been recruited?"

"Just the same group of people who planted lotus flowers last time, plus us, that's enough."

Yan Sui shook her head. "It's not enough. Besides corn, there are also vegetables and fruits. Such a large area requires a lot of manpower."

She also set aside several dozen acres of land, intending to plant sunflowers.

The beginning will definitely be a bit difficult, so we need to hire more temporary workers, otherwise it will be Aunt Ruan and her colleagues who will suffer.

"You don't need to save me money, I can earn it all back."

Aunt Ruan gave her a reproachful look, "You spend money like water, I'm really afraid you'll lose money."

Yan Sui laughed, "You won't lose out."

"Okay, I'll help you recruit some more people."

After Aunt Ruan left, Yan Sui continued to curl up on the swing.

When she moves again, she wants to build a swing and a grape trellis in the yard.

Just as Yan Sui was feeling drowsy, she received a video call from Jiang Yeling.

Through the video, it is clear that Jiang Yeling has become much darker.

"Damn! Where did you get this dyed?"

Jiang Yeling looked mournful. "You know my skin is like this, it gets tanned easily."

Moreover, it takes a long time to restore its white color.

"It's only May, I don't know why it's so sunny here."

What made her furious the most was that Yan Mo, perhaps due to natural beauty, hadn't gotten a tan at all.

When she stood next to Yan Mo, the difference in their skin tones became even more obvious.

How much longer are you going to film?

"It will probably be next month."

Yan Sui calculated the time, "The early-ripening peaches in the orchard can probably be picked next month."

"So fast? I'll pick some peaches for you when I get back!"

Yan Sui glanced at her and said, "Come on, you'll just get even darker from the sun."

Jiang Yeling took off her hat and found a shady spot to talk.

Have you been following news about Yan Mo and Fu Qingci lately?

"I haven't been paying much attention. What's wrong?"

"What else could they do but show off their love?" This even trended on social media twice.

One instance involved a marketing account revealing Fu Qingci's true identity as a wealthy young master.

Their companies started putting in a lot of effort to create a perfect, match-for-all couple persona for them.

Sure enough, netizens love watching this. Yan Mo and Fu Qingci gained a lot of fans and salvaged their reputations by using this persona.

"Fu Qingci is really bold. Once his identity as an illegitimate child is exposed, he will suffer a backlash."

Yan Sui chuckled, "He's just gambling, gambling that the Fu family has some sense of shame and won't go too far."

Jiang Yeling nodded, "But he's recently turned down all his engagements, it seems like he's preparing to join Changjing."

Fu Wenyang took him around to meet people, and I heard that there would be a banquet at the Tonghua Club tonight.

How did you know your dad went?

“My dad won’t go. Going would be tantamount to openly opposing Fu Yansheng. He knows what’s more important.”

It was because Fu Qingci had been hanging out with Fu Wenyang at various banquets a few days ago that he had the illusion that everyone was easy to talk to.

He didn't even consider that I couldn't cancel the banquet just because you came.

It wouldn't look good if someone caused a scene on your own turf.

As a result, he was given a little leeway and thought he was invincible again.

At this moment, Jiang Yeling's rant suddenly stopped.

Yan Mo's face squeezed into the frame as she smiled and said, "Yan Sui, Brother Qingci is hosting a banquet at Tonghua tonight. Would you like to come? I can send you an invitation."

She adopted the air of a mistress of the house, her face displaying provocation.

Yan Sui rested her chin on her hand, watching her with a leisurely air.

Are your parents going? If they are going too, I can attend; it's been a long time since I've seen them.

She always managed to easily find Yan Mo's sore spots.

Neither Yan Zhaohua nor Zou Shuangyun intends to attend.

No matter how much Yan Mo pleaded, their attitude remained firm.

Whether they come or not will not affect the progress of the banquet.

Yan Sui laughed at her for being naive.

Yan Zhaohua and Zou Shuangyun aren't going, does she think anyone else will?

She didn't want to talk much with Yan Mo, greeted Jiang Yeling, and then hung up.

However, Yan Mo and Fu Qingci are indeed a perfect match, they're both shameless.

She had just hung up the phone when Fu Qingci called back.

“I’ve said before that one day I will appear in the Fu family with dignity and let everyone acknowledge that I am a member of the Fu family.”

"I will prove it to you at eight o'clock tonight."

Yan Sui clicked her tongue. "I'm not your mother, what are you trying to prove to me?"

"Yan Sui! Apologize to me now, and I will forgive what you did and bring you back to my side." His tone was as if he were bestowing a favor upon Yan Sui.

"Stop pretending. You grew up in the Yan family. How could you possibly adapt to rural life? You only need to lower your head to me, but you insist on being so stubborn! I know you hate me because of love. The more you hate me now, the more it proves that you love me in your heart."

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you back down, I'll help you get back to the Yan family."

Yan Sui said "Oh", "It's been recorded. I'll send it to Yan Mo later."

Fu Qingci: "..."

Enraged, he growled, "Yan Sui, don't be ungrateful! You'll regret this!"

“I regret raising you back then. I should have neutered you and sent you to the slaughterhouse long ago.”

Yan Sui threatened in a deep voice: "Addicted to creating a persona online, do you really think you're the young master of the Fu family? Fu Yansheng isn't dead yet, who gave you the right to jump around like that? If you say one more word, I'll tell the paparazzi right now that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm sure many people will be willing to buy this big news."

Fu Qingci gasped for breath, "Fine, you're ruthless!"

He hung up the phone and was about to throw it on the ground when he saw Fu Wenyang walk in.

“You are not the same person you used to be. You need to be careful about your words and actions,” Fu Wenyang scolded, frowning.

Fu Qingci pursed her lips. "What's the difference?"

Fu Wenyang patted his shoulder, "Dad understands your grievances. Everything has to be done step by step. Changjing will be ours sooner or later. You should get some rest."
