Chapter 21 Do you know who she is?
After seeing Fu Yansheng off, Yan Sui headed straight for Xu Mocun's house.
Seeing that they were bright red cherry tomatoes, he looked somewhat disappointed.
"It's not a strawberry."
Yan Sui: "These aren't your average cherry tomatoes. Please try some."
She prepared a small plate for the old man, washed it, and placed it on the tea table.
"Try it."
Xu Mocun glanced at her and said, "I'm a very picky eater. I don't like cherry tomatoes."
Cherry tomatoes and large tomatoes are the same; the taste doesn't suit his palate.
Yan Sui patiently persuaded, "I know you're a picky eater, otherwise how could you be so thin? Try it first, and if you don't like it, just throw it up."
Xu Mocun cleared his throat. "You said it yourself."
Don't turn around and say he's impolite.
"Oh, I was saying, if you don't like this, I'll make some pickled cherry tomatoes later."
Xu Mocun then picked and chose a bite, the rich, sweet and sour juice spreading in his mouth with a unique fragrance.
This tastes different from the cherry tomatoes he's had before.
Yan Sui covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched his changing expression.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xu Mocun coughed twice with a stern face, "It's acceptable."
Yan Sui pouted, dissatisfied with the evaluation.
The cherry tomatoes she grows are absolutely the best in the world!
That old man is really stubborn.
"Could I exchange these little tomatoes of mine for a piece of your calligraphy?"
Xu Mocun glared at her angrily and said irritably, "I'll write to you when the strawberries ripen."
Yan Sui smiled and held up two fingers, "I want two pieces of calligraphy."
"Do you think my calligraphy is cheap stuff? Why do you need so much? Don't you know that things are valued for their scarcity?"
Xu Mocun knew she was being overly attentive for no reason.
Yan Sui said matter-of-factly, "It's just two pieces of calligraphy, that's not much! If you don't want to write, just take one from your study, I won't be picky."
Don't think she doesn't know; Xu Mocun has plenty of them in his study.
Although the old man is old, his eyes are still very sharp.
Yan Sui didn't seem to like these words.
"Tell me honestly, what did you do with my calligraphy?"
Yan Sui cupped her face in her hands. What else could it be but chasing after men?
"The big boss who lives in that courtyard house over there, I saw him carrying things up to your place before. Was he trying to ask you for a calligraphy piece like Fu Qingci did?"
Xu Mocun suddenly realized, "You mean Xiao Qu?"
Yan Sui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's him!"
Xu Mocun frowned. "What business is it of yours if he asks for calligraphy?"
Yan Sui feigned a shy expression, "I've taken a liking to his assistant."
Xu Mocun: "..."
When did you go blind?
Yan Sui: "?"
"You look down on the richer ones, but you're interested in someone else's assistant. Isn't that just blind?"
Xu Mocun found this strange; Fu Yansheng couldn't possibly be inferior to Qu Jiang.
Yan Sui snorted, "You're too superficial! I appreciate inner beauty; I don't care about external conditions at all!"
Well, I do care about appearances a little bit.
She hasn't even succeeded yet, how can she explore his inner self!
Xu Mocun fell silent. "Fine, everyone has different tastes."
"Are you going to give this calligraphy to him?"
Yan Sui nodded. "He wants it, so please be kind and write it for him. But you can't just agree so easily. You have to emphasize my contribution to him."
These words prompted Xu Mocun to tap her on the head.
"You've really gone all out for a man!"
Yan Sui didn't think there was anything about being successful or not; whoever pursues the other should make the effort, that's always been the way it is.
Who told her to be so lustful?
Xu Mocun finally gave in to her nagging and agreed.
He muttered to himself, "If you don't appreciate it, giving you my calligraphy is a waste!"
Yan Sui stuck out her tongue. "You're so stingy! I didn't even say it would be a waste to give you the cherry tomatoes!"
The old man and the child both snorted and walked in opposite directions.
When Yan Sui returned home, she heard Yan Junming's exaggerated voice.
"These are the best cherry tomatoes I've ever eaten, even more delicious than the peaches of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West!"
Sui Liyuan couldn't help but tap him on the head, "Even having food can't shut you up. Eat less. Your older brother is coming back tomorrow, save some for him."
The "elder brother" she mentioned was Yan Shunzhong's eldest son, Yan Yizhou.
After graduating from university, Yan Yizhou started working at a major internet company. His work required him to work overtime and he couldn't come home on weekends.
Yan Sui's other cousin is named Yan Shuxian, who is a second-year graduate student this year. Due to his busy studies, the two siblings have not yet met.
But Yan Sui had already chatted with them on WeChat a few times, so they weren't strangers.
While Yan Sui was looking forward to meeting Yan Yizhou, she was unaware that Yan Yizhou was having a fight with his girlfriend.
In the end, it all comes down to Yan Sui.
Are you really going home tomorrow?
Yan Yizhou is in the prime of his career, and he is very busy with work during the week, spending most of his weekends resting.
The two didn't have much time together to begin with, which already made You Min feel dissatisfied.
Yan Yizhou squeezed her palm. "I haven't been home for two months. My sister is coming back this time, and it wouldn't be right for me not to go back."
You Min bit her lip. "What's inappropriate about it? Is she more important than me?"
Yan Yizhou took it as her throwing a tantrum and smiled gently.
“How can you compare them like that? She was taken away not long after she was born, and now that she’s finally back, I can’t just pretend I don’t know.”
He had actually wanted to go back a long time ago, but he was held back by company matters.
Later, when You Min's family needed his help, he was delayed again.
This time, I absolutely cannot refuse.
You Min looked very unhappy. "I'm not trying to compare myself to her. I just think you don't need to get too close to her."
Yan Yizhou was taken aback, then pulled her hand and sat down.
"Sui Sui is my younger sister, and you're jealous of that?"
"I'm not jealous. Even if she's your sister, you've never spent any time with her in all these years. Do you even know what kind of person she is?"
Yan Yizhou isn't someone who doesn't use the internet; of course he knows about the controversies surrounding Yan Sui online.
But he knew even better that You Min's sister was Yan Mo's agent, and that she herself was Yan Mo's fan.
He didn't expect You Min and Yan Sui to get along well; he just wanted them to stay out of each other's way.
"I don't know who she is. After all, I haven't met her yet, so I can't draw conclusions about her based solely on online comments."
You Min's face turned pale; these words, however, took on a different meaning for her.
"Are you saying I'm biased and prejudiced against her? What's said online isn't necessarily true, but there's no smoke without fire. How do you know it's all false?"
Yan Yizhou remained silent for a moment before speaking again, his tone somewhat complicated.
"Minmin, whether it's true or not, she's still my sister."
You Min naturally didn't understand, "They're not even my biological children."
Yan Yizhou pinched the bridge of his nose. "Although Yan Sui and I have never met, I remember my second uncle. He was very good to me. Although Yan Sui is my cousin, in my heart, she is no different from my own sister."
Seeing that he was unyielding, You Min knew that no matter what she said, he wouldn't listen.
Feeling both helpless and angry, she left without saying goodbye.
Yan Yizhou looked somewhat bewildered, but more than that, he felt helpless.
Unbeknownst to Yan Sui, the couple had fallen into a strange cold war because of her.
