Li Shaoting felt that the matter was really dramatic. Ye Shuning actually had relatives in Nangang, and they were her aunt's family, who were relatively close relatives.

Ye Shuning's appearance alone led to a series of events, and after some investigation, it turned out that they were indeed relatives. The world is truly full of wonders.

However, with the care of the Yan family, Ye Shuning is safer in Nangang.

Today's events had truly frightened Li Shaoting. After all, gangs were rampant in Nangang. If someone really set their sights on Ye Shuning, they wouldn't regret it anytime soon. He had to find someone skilled and reliable to protect Ye Shuning.

Today's incident also sounded a wake-up call for Ye Shuning. Fortunately, this was just a prank by Yan Xichuan. If it had been real, she would have been in a difficult situation. It seems that she needs to find someone to protect herself.

Yan Zhennan said apologetically, "It's all our Xichuan's fault for his mischievous nature. He was just playing a prank on Xiao Ning. We've already punished him by sending him to the dock to help the workers unload sacks. We'll teach him a lesson."

Ye Shuning said, "Uncle, please forgive my cousin this time. He has no ill intentions. Our recognition is a happy occasion, so please forgive him this time."

Yan Xichuan quickly said, "Yes, yes, my little cousin is so magnanimous and doesn't bother with me. Uncle, please forgive me this time."

Yan Zhennan snorted and said, "I'll let you off this time, but if you do it again next time, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.

Yan Zhenbei also said, "Although your uncle said he'll spare you this time, you must give up all thoughts of becoming an actor or star and study hard. Completing your studies successfully is the real thing. What else can you do in the future that's better than being an actor?"

The Yan family is very prestigious in Nangang's upper class society. It would be shameful if their descendants became actors and were criticized by others.

The older generation believed that acting was just a show, not a legitimate profession. While many wealthy people in Nangang flocked to the film industry because of the money it made, they inherently looked down on the actors who made them money. This was simply the limitations of the times.

The dream of becoming an actor and a star in the future is indeed something that many people pursue. Being a star also brings them high returns, ultimately bringing them both fame and fortune. This is why many people flock to pursue it.

Yan Xichuan pouted and said, "You have an old-fashioned mindset. What's wrong with being an actor? My little cousin is a little girl and she's a director."

As he spoke, he chuckled at Ye Shuning and said, "Little cousin, you've seen my acting skills before. I want to act. If you have any roles in the future, please consider me. It doesn't have to be the protagonist, a supporting role will be fine."

Ye Shuning saw that Yan Xichuan's appearance was really suitable for being an actor. With some hard work, he might even become a big star. However, she saw that the elders of the Yan family did not agree with Yan Xichuan's idea, so she was reluctant to agree.

She could only perfunctorily say, "I'll see if there's a suitable role later."

Qin Zongye had calmed down by now, and his mood was very complicated. The girl he liked already had a fiancé, so did he have to cut off his secret love for her halfway?

Moreover, Ye Shuning has such a close relationship with the Yan family, which undoubtedly means that Ye Shuning has another supporter in Nangang. His importance will be greatly weakened.

However, Ye Shuning’s fiancé cannot come to Nangang and cannot be with Ye Shuning, so does she still have a chance?

Fortunately, he and Ye Shuning were still partners, and who knew what would happen in the future. He consoled himself in his heart, thinking that perhaps he still had a chance.

The two daughters of the Yan family were very excited to see the second young master of the Qin family. The two sons of the Qin family were both diamond bachelors in Nangang, handsome and capable, and many daughters of famous families were interested in them. However, the two brothers did not like to interact with girls, so the daughters of the rich families rarely spoke to the two brothers of the Qin family.

It was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise that Qin Zongye could come to the Yan family today.

Qin Zongye felt the gazes of the two daughters of the Qin family staring at him, like a wolf seeing meat, which made him very displeased. He frowned slightly. If Ye Shuning hadn't been here, he really wanted to leave immediately.

Ye Shuning had been releasing her mental power so that she could better observe everyone's expressions and emotional changes. She also noticed the way the two daughters of the Yan family, who had ill intentions towards her, looked at Qin Zongye. That look was really disgusting.

Qin Zongye came to the Yan family for her, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Zongye because of herself.

Ye Shuning said, "Aunt, my nephew is still alone at home. We will go back first. I will come to see you later."

Old Mrs. Ye said reluctantly, "You have to eat before you leave. The kitchen is already prepared. Otherwise, why don't you all move in with me so we can take care of you."

As soon as the old lady said this, the mother and daughter from the second branch of the Yan family all changed their expressions.

Ye Shuning realized from her observations just now that not everyone in the Yan family welcomed her. It was probably because of her aunt that they had no choice but to accept her.

She hadn't chosen this relationship on her own initiative. She didn't want to eat with someone who didn't welcome her. She might as well go home and eat comfortably. Living somewhere else was even worse. She was capable of living well on her own, so why would she live under someone else's roof?

No matter how good the Yan family is, she will not rush to get close to them. If they welcome her, she will just treat them as a relative. If they don't like her, she will not take the initiative to get close to them, let alone compromise herself.

Although the Yan family is a wealthy family, she herself will be a wealthy family in the future, so it is not certain who will be higher and who will be lower.

Ye Shuning took her aunt's arm and said, "Jingyu is still too young. I am worried about him being alone at home. Besides, the child has no food to eat at night, and I have to go back to cook for him.

I'll come to see you when I have the chance, or you can call me. I have a phone at home."

The daughter of the Yan family next door kept pulling their mother's sleeves and winking at her mother to keep Qin Zongye for dinner.

Liu Wanzhen, the second daughter-in-law of the Yan family, smiled and said, "Xiao Ning is anxious to go home because she's worried about the children at home. Young Master Qin should be fine, right? Why don't you stay for a quick meal? Xiling, Xiyao, and Xichuan all talk about you often, and you young people have something to talk about, so we can have a good chat."

Liu Wanzhen's intention was not too obvious, she just wanted to match her daughter with Qin Zongye.

Qin Zongye certainly wouldn't stay for dinner. He was afraid that the two daughters of the Yan family would eat him, so he quickly declined, "No, Second Madam, I have something to discuss with Xiao Ning today, so I won't stay for dinner."

Fang Qiongzhi, the daughter-in-law of the first wife of the Yan family, frowned as she looked at the mother and daughter of the second wife. The daughter of the Yan family couldn't get married, so why was she so eager to get married? It was really a disgrace to the Yan family.

The eldest son, Yan Zhennan, and the second son, Yan Zhenbei, also frowned. The old lady even glared at her second daughter-in-law.
