"Why?" Zhu Qianying continued playing along with the sequence of the joke.
Young Master Yan still didn't notice anything amiss. "She is indeed a bit willful, but she's really a good person. She probably doesn't mean you any harm. After I scolded her, she realized her mistake and even said she'd treat you to a meal to apologize another day."
Zhu Qianying sneered inwardly. "I'm not her sister, so why should I care if she has any ill intentions towards me? As for eating, let's skip it! I'm afraid I'll get poisoned!"
"Ha, that's amazing!" Zhu Qianying exclaimed again.
But honestly, what's so amazing about it? Right now, she wishes she could dump the whole bowl of porridge onto Young Master Yan's face.
Upon hearing Zhu Qianying's insincere praise, Yan Shao finally realized something was amiss. He frowned slightly and reached out to touch Zhu Qianying's forehead, but she dodged him.
"Ying'er, are you feeling unwell?" Yan Shao looked at her with concern.
Zhu Qianying shook her head because it seemed that his sentence couldn't be played out using the three-sentence pattern!
But aside from those three perfunctory sentences, she didn't want to say anything else to him at that moment.
Or perhaps, she actually had something she wanted to say to him: "Get lost!"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Yan Shao was at a loss for words.
Since Yan Shao didn't speak, Zhu Qianying naturally didn't bother to make conversation. In fact, she was happy to have some peace and quiet.
She silently ate her breakfast, and after finishing, she urged Young Master Yan to leave quickly.
Today wasn't Saturday or Sunday, so Yan Shao naturally had to go to work. His phone, which he had casually placed on the dining table and set to vibrate, had vibrated countless times just now, but he hadn't looked at it once, letting it vibrate wildly.
Yan Shao, having changed his shoes and preparing to leave, stood in the entryway and asked Zhu Qianying.
"Ying'er, may I come over for dinner tonight?"
In the past, Young Master Yan could have come whenever he wanted without prior notice. It was just a meal, and no one would have bothered to kick him out.
But now, during this sensitive period, he seems a bit cautious.
"Let's do it another day, I'm not in the mood!" Zhu Qianying was too lazy to entertain him.
Young Master Yan gave her a deep look, said nothing more, and silently left. In his mind, however, he was already planning to leave work early in the afternoon, go home to pick up Zizai, and then bring him over. That way, he could conveniently stay for dinner…
...
As for last night, Yi Wei was lectured by Yan Han in the car, but she didn't dare to refute Yan Han in person. After all, everyone knows that her relationship with Yan Han is currently very fragile and cannot withstand the slightest change. If she makes a mistake, it will be completely ruined!
After Yan Han sent her back to the Yi family, she was furious. She was so angry that she immediately made a phone call. Ten or twenty minutes later, a young man in his thirties arrived at the Yi family. The servants seemed to know him very well. After greeting him respectfully, they led him to the living room on the second floor.
Yi Wei was curled up on the sofa with a can of beer, watching a gunfight movie. The deafening sound of gunfire echoed throughout the living room.
The man frowned slightly, walked over, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned down the volume, and looked up at the large screen, where the images were extremely bloody and gruesome.
"What's wrong now? Who offended you this time?"
The man tossed the remote control aside and sat down next to Yi Wei.
"Bamboo Shadows!"
Yi Wei gritted her teeth and said, then with a forceful movement, the jar in her hand was crushed into a twisted ball, which she then threw away with a "whoosh".
"What did she do to upset you this time?"
The man spoke casually, leaned over, reached into the coffee table, took two cans of beer, pulled the tabs, gave one to her, and kept the other for himself. Then he turned to look at her, adopting an attitude of attentive listening.
"As soon as she came back, Brother Han didn't even come to my dad's birthday party. He only sent Qin Xiu with a big gift. You have no idea how embarrassed my dad was! Also, last week I was supposed to go to Beijing for a follow-up appointment. He used to accompany me every year, but last week when I called him, his phone was off. When I went to his company, everyone said he was on a business trip, but no one could tell me where he went!"
She was full of resentment and complaints, which she couldn't stop. The man listened silently and then silently drank his beer.
After she repeated similar words several times, the man finally spoke.
"What are you worried about? Men are just like that, always wanting what they can't have. Like before, he couldn't have you, so you were the best to him. Now, Zhu Qianying is the best to him. So, don't make a scene. Try to keep a high profile and see what he does next!"
The man's words seemed reasonable, but Yi Wei simply couldn't sit calmly to the side and observe the situation.
"But Zhu Qianying has given birth to a son for him, hasn't she? Just based on that alone, I feel like I have no chance of winning."
What threw Yi Wei into disarray was not Zhu Qianying herself, but the arrogant and disdainful young master.
The man chuckled. "Men, aren't they all studs? A son is nothing, he can have one with anyone. You don't need to worry about that. I bet his son doesn't like him at all. Who knows how long Young Master Yan can put up with that brat?"
Yi Wei was skeptical of what the man said.
"Is that really true?"
The man shook the beer in the can. "I'm a man myself, how could I not know? No matter how powerful a man is, at certain times, he's just a primitive animal that thinks with his lower body!"
Yi Wei lowered her head, a beer can dangling from her mouth, and thought for a while before looking up at the man.
"You mean...?"
The man nodded. "Yes, that's what I meant!"
Yi Wei paused for a moment, and after a long while, she said, "This... is a bit difficult..."
The man curled his lips into a smirk.
"How difficult can it be? Don't worry, I'll arrange everything for you. You should take good care of yourself during this time. Look at you, you're not even thirty yet, and you're already getting fine lines around your eyes. Men, besides being driven by their lower bodies, are also visual creatures! Zhu Qianying is younger than you, and she's just as good-looking. If you don't take better care of yourself, you'll lose to her just because of your face and figure!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Wei quickly put down the beer can she was holding, smoothed her hair, and looked at the man with a nervous expression. "Is it really that serious? Otherwise, should I make an appointment with a doctor tomorrow to get it fixed?"
The man rolled his eyes. "What kind of trash hasn't Young Master Yan seen? Counterfeits are probably the last thing he'd even look at. So, save your breath. Eat well, sleep well these next few days, and go to that club for a few more full-body treatments. That should be fine!"
