Yan Yingyuan turned around and looked at Jiang Yingkui behind him, and saw apology in his eyes.
"Brother Yan, please make do with this today. I will try to find you a separate courtyard tomorrow." Jiang Yingkui began to treat Yan Yingyuan as a brother.
Yan Yingyuan shook his head: "Brother Jiang, you are harming me!"
Without waiting for Jiang Yingkui to explain, Yan Yingyuan clapped his hands violently, attracting everyone's attention.

"Nonsense, when have you ever seen Lord Yan put on airs?"
"In that case, don't be polite, big guy, move the bedding!"
Amid the busy sounds of everyone, Yan Yingyuan successfully integrated into the team.
