Chapter 50 Keeping a Mistress
CBD, Lingyang District, Beijing.
Tang Cai wandered from the huge living room to the kitchen, and then to the bedroom, her mouth agape in astonishment.
"Honey, yours is bigger than mine, twice the size!"
Anmi put the key on the table: "Hmm, I heard it's over 400 square meters."
"Four hundred...!"
Tang Cai clutched her chest and sat down, leaning against the sofa.
"Honey, come pinch me right now, let's see if we're both dreaming?"
I've seen extravagant wealth, but I've never seen anyone chase after someone and throw things at them like this!
Two people in a row won the big house! What incredible luck!
She asked Anmi again, "We're really not dreaming, are we?"
Anmi gently pinched her arm.
"No, this really happened."
Tang Cai's eyes immediately reddened.
"I must go back to my hometown this weekend to burn some paper money for our ancestors."
"It must be their spirits in heaven protecting me; not only did I win the lottery, but my best friend won too..."
As she was speaking, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Hey! Do you think Wanqiu won a prize too?"
Anmi was amused by her: "Why would Wanqiu need to win a prize?"
"Yes, Qiuqiu doesn't lack these."
Tang Cai happily stood up and said, "That's great! Now we both have big houses. We can invite Qiuqiu over for parties every weekend. We can stay at your place today and at my place tomorrow. It sounds wonderful!"
Anmi imagined it based on what she said.
It is indeed quite beautiful.
However, she had firmly rejected Yan Jinnian just two days ago.
Now they've suddenly changed their minds again.
It feels a bit pretentious…
"Cai Cai, when are you planning to move in?"
Tang Cai is examining the figurine cabinet in the living room.
He casually replied, "Tonight!"
"ah?"
Anmi was quite frightened.
"No? Who moves overnight?"
Tang Cai said with a matter-of-fact expression, "You know our shabby little house. Every extra day we stay there costs extra money. Now that we have our own place to live, why don't we move out sooner?"
"And my original plan was for the two of us to move together, so I contacted a moving company as soon as I got the keys."
Anmi felt a little flustered.
"Why don't you move in first, I'll wait a couple more days..."
She thought that if she talked to Yan Jinnian about it in a couple of days, it wouldn't be so awkward.
But Tang Cai disagreed: "No way, of course we'll move together. What are you waiting for with such a nice house?"
"I'll have the moving company I hired deliver to you first. I'll give them extra money. It's settled then!"
Anmi struggled in vain, and was hurriedly dragged downstairs by the arm to hail a taxi.
On the way, Tang Cai called the landlord to tell him about moving out.
The other party's attitude was okay; they said they could refund the deposit if I wanted it back, but since the rental period was less than a year, the deposit would not be refunded.
However, half of this month's rent can be refunded to them as a small compensation.
Tang Cai readily agreed.
After arriving home, the two ate some cake as a base and then started unpacking.
While tidying up, Anmi sent Yan Jinnian a WeChat message.
"Hi, are you done with your work?"
The other party replied very quickly.
Yan Jinnian: "Not yet, what's wrong?"
Anmi thought for a moment and typed a line.
"Thank you for arranging a house for Cai Cai."
The other person typed for a while.
Yan Jinnian: "No need to thank me, I'm glad she likes it."
Anmi's heart softened.
She tapped her fingertips lightly: "She likes it very much and is very happy."
After a while, three words were replied from the other end.
Yan Jinnian: "And what about you?"
Anmi pressed down on the corners of her mouth.
"Me too."
Banquet at home.
The man looked at the message on the screen and tapped a line with his knuckles.
"Shall I send someone over to help you move it now?"
Eight seconds later, they replied.
"No need, Cai Cai has called a moving company, she'll take me there later."
Yan Jinnian's lips curled slightly.
"good."
"Be careful, and message me if anything happens."
As I was typing, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.
"Big brother, who are you texting with, laughing like that?"
He frowned slightly and put his phone away.
Yan Jiaxian held a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at the displeased man in front of him: "Is this Miss An Mi?"
He asked with a look of curiosity, "What were you talking about?"
Yan Jinnian gave him a deep look.
Don't you think you have too many problems?
"..."
Yan Jiaxian silently shut his mouth.
What a cold-blooded man! You weren't like this when you asked me to deliver the cake this afternoon!
He put down his wine glass and said to the cold-faced man, "But brother, I didn't expect you to still be unable to escape Aunt Shen's clutches this time!"
Tonight's private dinner following the premiere was attended not only by star directors but also by most of the Yan family's relatives.
This is the first work of Shen Mengxin, the first lady of the Yan family, after retiring from acting for many years. The Yan family attaches great importance to it.
As Shen Mengxin's only son and the seventh-generation eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Jinnian naturally couldn't miss such an important occasion.
Yan Jinnian looked at the crowd in front of him with a calm expression.
"As long as she's happy."
Yan Jiaxian: "But it seems like you don't really like it."
Yan Jinnian: "..."
Yan Jinnian: "If you're really bored, you can find a pair of leather shoes to shut your mouth."
Look at this person!
Yan Jiaxian quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore! You're aloof and don't talk much."
He turned and picked up his wine glass: "But don't you really need to tell Aunt Shen about your relationship with Miss Anmi? I think she definitely doesn't want you to keep it from her."
The man's deep gaze answered him.
"OK, I got it! I'm leaving."
Quietness returned to my surroundings.
Yan Jinnian raised his wristwatch; the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock. An Mi should have already set off by now.
He loosened his tie in frustration. He didn't know when the dinner would end, and he probably wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.
His gaze swept across the crowd indifferently a few times.
On a table in the distance, there seemed to be a familiar figure.
...
"I've long heard of Mr. Xiao's talent and promise, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's truly remarkable!"
In a corner of the banquet, several representatives from the Chuji Chamber of Commerce were sitting together, praising a young man at the table.
"Didn't Mr. Xiao's company's new project just win first place at the exhibition in the United States last month? You young people are really good at making things. Games, intelligent systems, we old guys can't even understand them."
"That's right, Mr. Xiao. Why don't you tell us about the ins and outs of this, so we can learn something from you?"
Xiao Qingnian sat upright among them, speaking humbly: "You flatter me, everyone. It's just some insignificant stuff, a matter of luck."
"Oh, that's too modest! If Mr. Xiao says that, then wouldn't the rest of us be too ashamed to even offer anything?"
Hahahaha!
Everyone was delighted, but Xiao Qingyu remained completely unmoved, with only a barely perceptible sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.
A bunch of old foxes, he couldn't see through their intentions.
The fox's tail was almost hitting his face.
"Mr. Xiao."
A deep voice suddenly came from behind.
Before Xiao Qingnian could turn around, the others on the table had already stood up.
"President Yan!"
"Hello, Mr. Yan!"
"President Yan!"
Yan Jinnian nodded calmly, not looking at anyone else, and said to the person still sitting in his seat, "Let's talk in private."
Xiao Qingnian lowered his gaze slightly and stood up.
After the two left, a lively discussion began at the table.
"Xiao Qingnan actually knows President Yan? When did he get involved with the Yan family?"
"Could it be that the Yan family is going to invest in his project? I heard that Xiao Qingnian has secured a lot of investment in the United States, and the Yan family just finalized a cooperation agreement in New York last month. Could they be investing in him?"
"Since the Yan family has already invested, should we follow suit?"
"Let's wait and see, it's not too late to decide!"
...
Outside the banquet hall.
Xiao Qingyun stopped in front of the railing.
"Ten years have passed since we parted in New York. I never expected that President Yan would contact me again, only to find out that he wanted to keep a mistress."
