Chapter 65: Falling in love with Li Yao
Zhu Qin rolled his eyes. Is it even necessary to make a bet?
The suit Chen Yan wore was custom-made by H Haute Couture, the handmade calfskin shoes he wore on his feet were made by C, the cufflinks were antiques bought at an auction house, and the watch on his wrist was one of only two in the world.
He was wearing a simple outfit that looked like several houses, low-key and luxurious, like a peacock spreading its feathers. How could this be related to the steady and cunning Chen Yan?
Li Yao took a quick look and found that he was indeed a child from a wealthy family. Those who knew the value of his clothes would be surprised at the price of them, and those who didn't would know that they were very expensive.
"I wanted to apologize to the three of you for having this meal today. It was our little girl who made things difficult for you all, and it's also our fault that we spoiled Chen Yan." Zhu Qin was full of apologies.
Li Yao and the other two thought of Chen Yan, whom they first met at the floating market. She was completely different back then than she is now.
Shen Yan also remembered that time, and fearing that the three of them would misunderstand, she quietly defended herself: "I'm not that kind of person. My dad said that when I go out, I should be a little arrogant so that I won't be bullied."
Zhu Qin gave him a glare and Shen Wenxuan became scared.
Even Chen Yan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his sister felt different every time she went out.
Every time his sister went out, Shen Yan was worried that she would be beaten because of her personality, so he asked her to bring enough bodyguards every time she went out.
It was also the first time that Zhu Qin knew about this. There were guests here today, so she gave Shen Wenxuan some face in front of outsiders and would slowly settle the bill after the guests left.
Shen Wenxuan felt miserable.
The Shen family doesn't have so many rules when eating. Zhu Qin and Shen Wenxuan noticed that their eldest son always looked at Li Yao.
Occasionally a conversation would be passed on, and the atmosphere of the meal was quite good.
When they were almost done eating, Li Yao put down her chopsticks, looked at Zhu Qin and Shen Wenxuan and said, "We're sorry for disturbing them these two days. The three of us have discussed it and will go back tomorrow."
Chen Yan and Shen Yan looked at Yan Yuansi and Li Yao at the same time. As a bystander, Ning Xinyue's eyes were shining with excitement. Oh, this is very interesting. The brother likes Li Yao, and the sister likes Yan Yuansi. The future is going to be lively.
Li Yao ignored Chen Yan's gaze, the only ones who could let them go here were Zhu Qin and Shen Wenxuan.
Zhu Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry. I told you three that you can leave at any time. But are you really leaving tomorrow? I like Miss Li Yao very much. I hope you can stay and accompany me for a few more days."
She looked at her husband and children with resentment: "You can see that our family is either full of workaholics or unreliable. I used to be able to play mahjong with the other wives, but now I'm the only one here."
The three people from the Shen family felt guilty. Li Yao wanted to go back. No matter how good this place was, it was not as good as her little home.
After dinner, Zhu Qin invited Li Yao and the others to have tea together, and the Shen brothers and sisters also came over with shameless faces.
Zhu Qin glanced at his son sideways, his eyes glued to him, with a deadpan expression on his face. Who was he showing this kind of scoundrel to?
"Yaoyao, you three should stay with your aunt for a few more days. I heard that the rain will get heavier in the next few days, and it will be inconvenient for you three to stay in that community." What a nice three people, they are always remembered wherever they go.
“I heard that there was acid rain in the rain over the past one or two days. It’s very dangerous to go out,” Shen Yan said.
"It's extremely acidic." Chen Yan added.
Li Yao thought about it. At this time in her previous life, she had already gone to a resettlement site, thinking about how to get something to eat every day. Later, she was sick for a while, and it seemed that many people died during that period.
After she recovered, she heard that there was a severe acid rain and many people's faces were ruined.
"Then we'll bother them for a few more days." Although she had protective clothing against acid rain, they had nothing now. If they left rashly and encountered acid rain, the things she took out would definitely be suspected.
Except for Shen Yan who was raised to be innocent, no one in the Shen family is innocent. They are all full of tricks.
Looking at Shen Yan pouring water for Yan Yuansi, Li Yao suddenly felt that this was how it should be. Their Shen family couldn't keep having troubles along the way.
Zhu Qin clapped her hands: "It's great that you can stay."
Zhu Qin seemed to have found a companion. When Li Yao and the others left, Zhu Qin's arms were filled with food.
"This is the first time I feel such enthusiasm." Ning Xinyue found it very novel, while Li Yao just felt a headache. Although other people invited her warmly, she always felt something was weird. She didn't like her plans being interrupted unexpectedly.
"Anyway, don't say anything you shouldn't say. We're just here to hide from the acid rain."
At this moment, Zhu Qin stopped her son who was about to go upstairs: "Xiao Yan, tell mom, who do you like among the three?"
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows: “Mother asked even though she knew the answer. I thought I was being very obvious.”
Zhu Qin chuckled: "What if I guessed wrong? There are some things that I won't believe unless you say it yourself."
"Of course it's Li Yao." He loosened his tie.
"I think that girl is pretty, too." Zhu Qin stepped aside. "You can dress more flamboyantly next time. You are so low-key. What if the girl doesn't understand?"
Chen Yan retorted: "Mother, I'm not that little fool like Chen Yan. You said that just to watch the fun." He knew his mother's bad taste too well. She just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
"Son, I don't think that little girl Li Yao is interested in you. What will you do if she doesn't want to be with you?" As someone who has been through this, Zhu Qin naturally saw it clearly. The look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Yan did not have any girlish shyness.
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "We don't have to be together if we like each other."
Zhu Qin smiled, and the years left wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of this elegant and beautiful woman.
"You've grown up. What did you say before..." Zhu Qin thought for a moment, "You said before that if the person you like doesn't like you, you will do everything you can to make her fall in love with you, even if you have to tie her to your side."
"Mother, I was young and ignorant then. Now that I'm grown up, I know that it's against the law." Chen Yan was helpless. "Besides, Li Yao alone can break up the Jinhong Gang, which is hundreds of people strong. If a woman like this can't be a husband and wife, we can be friends, but definitely not enemies."
The identities of Li Yao and the other two are very clean. In today's chaotic world, it is easy for them to hide and not be found, but it is also easy for them to secretly attack their family members.
Zhu Qin nodded. Tonight she was just testing her son's thoughts. Chen Yan was very calm.
Chen Yan said, "Then mother, can I go back to my room and rest?" He now just wanted to take off this heavy set of clothes.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Qin stepped aside and said kindly, "Don't wear it like this next time. The girl will think you are a fool."
Chen Yan believed it this time. He returned to his room, looked at himself in the mirror, thought about the appearance of Li Yao and the other two, and felt that he had played a bad card tonight.
Li Yao and the other two all have excellent looks, and Li Yao is even more beautiful. They are obviously indifferent to things like appearance.
He has a good appearance, but Li Yao can't stand seeing him like this. I guess I have to think of something else to attract the girl's attention next time.
