Chapter 208 Wasn't he going to give me some money?
Hearing this without saying a word only made me feel that it was hypocritical.
Ruan Censhu, however, shed tears.
"Qihang, you had it so tough back then."
Yan Buyu: ...Such an amazing, strong woman, believes in this?
Yan Qihang pretended to wipe away a tear.
“Let’s not talk about it anymore, it’s all in the past,” he said, looking at Yan Buyu. “Buyu, Dad is now married to Aunt Ruan, and she doesn’t have any children. We hope to live with you.”
"There's no need," Yan Buyu said, too lazy to play along with the other person's act. "I'm an adult now, I don't need anyone to take care of me."
“But…” Yan Qihang’s words were interrupted by Yan Buyu.
“I get along very well with my current family, and I can see that you and your aunt have a good relationship too. Isn’t this good for us? I’m relieved to know that you’re doing well now.”
Ruan Censhu strongly agreed with the idea of remaining silent.
She couldn't quite accept suddenly having an extra daughter.
Although she prefers silence, she prefers the time she has with Yan Qihang.
“Yes, Qihang, what Buyu said is right. You two have been separated for so many years, your lifestyles must be different. If you suddenly move in together, there will be a lot of conflicts. Why don’t we buy a house for Buyu near our wedding house as well, so that we can see each other whenever we want?”
"What do you know?" Yan Qihang said impatiently.
Ruan Censhu was taken aback. She glanced at Yan Buyu and then at Yan Qihang, her eyes reddening as she lowered her head.
Yan Qihang quickly comforted her, "I'm sorry, Xiao Shu. I was just too excited to see my daughter and my tone was a little harsh. You know I haven't seen her for more than ten years, so you definitely won't hold it against me, right? You're the best, Xiao Shu."
Ruan Censhu wiped away her tears and nodded, "I understand."
Yan Buyu sat there blankly, cursing Yan Qihang in his heart.
A typical "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success) skilled in PUA (manipulative tactics).
It seems that this is how he controlled so many beautiful and wealthy divorced women.
"Xiao Shu, go wait for me in the car, okay? I need to talk to my daughter alone for a bit." Yan Qihang handed her the thermos he had been holding. "I made you some ginger tea. Drink it all and I'll be right there."
Ruan Censhu seemed to have forgotten the disrespectful yelling Yan Qihang had given her earlier.
He left with a happy expression, holding the thermos in both hands.
"Buyu, how about Dad gives you some money?" Yan Qihang still had that heartbroken old father look on his face.
"No need, you can keep it."
"Buyu, Dad has money now and can support you. Come and enjoy a few good days with Dad," Yan Qihang pleaded.
"I've always been living a good life." Yan Buyu stroked the rim of his coffee cup, his voice cool and clear. "Don't you know that I've gotten involved with the Shen family in Beijing?"
"Are they good to you? Have they bullied you because you're not related by blood? Shen Zhiye isn't a good person. Has he bullied you? Has he let his children bully you?"
He asked a series of questions, as if he genuinely cared.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home for dinner." Yan Buyu was annoyed by him.
How many people have been deceived by this hypocritical face?
"You're back too, right?" Yan Qihang suddenly said.
"What?" Yan Buyu was taken aback.
The man who had been all smiles just moments before now still had a smile on his lips, but it was tinged with malice, and the evil in his eyes was no longer concealed.
His face overlapped with the hideous face from his previous life.
Yan Buyu had a bad feeling in his heart.
Yan Qihang then said, "I said, you were also reborn, right? When you were eight years old."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yan Buyu scrutinized the person opposite him.
My heart was already churning with turbulent waves.
She believed that Yan Qihang's life trajectory was different because of the butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth.
It turns out he wasn't; he was reborn too.
"Don't know?" Yan Qihang said sarcastically. "In your past life, you refused to go with Lan Xinyan and I killed you. You were reborn at eight years old, regretted it, and resolutely left with them, mother and son. Isn't that right?"
He remained silent, his eyes lowered.
A few seconds later, he sneered, leaned back on the sofa, and said calmly, "And you? Who killed you and brought you back to life?"
Yan Qihang stared at her with cold eyes, his hands clenched into fists and placed on the table. He cursed under his breath, "You bastard, why do you get to live so freely after being reborn, while I spent more than ten years in prison? You shouldn't have, and you don't deserve it."
Having heard these foul words countless times in my past life, I remain silent, and my heart is utterly unmoved.
She tilted her head, tapping her chin lightly with her finger. "Let me think. In your past life, you were addicted to gambling and drugs. Were you killed by loan sharks? Or by drug addiction? It couldn't have been the children of the women you cheated with who killed you?"
Yan Qihang's hand trembled, and he growled, "No one can kill me, you bitch, you don't deserve to live such a good life."
"Whether we're a good match or not, I'm already living together." Yan Buyu felt extremely relieved seeing his expression. "Aren't you living together too? Aunt Ruan is doing great, aren't you happy?"
"Don't mention that old woman to me," Yan Qihang glared at Yan Buyu. "I've been reborn, it's a chance given to me by God. I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll make the Shen family wish they were dead. If you dare send me to jail, I'll make sure your family is destroyed and your home is ruined."
"If you were that capable, would you need to be with a rich woman?" Yan Buyu looked at him with utter disdain. "You're a real piece of work, criticizing the cook after you've eaten your fill."
"you!"
"Qihang." Ruan Censhu finished a pot of ginger soup, but Yan Qihang still hadn't arrived. Worried, she went back in to look for him.
Yan Qihang immediately put on his gentle and kind expression again, "Xiao Shu."
The silent smile on the other end was utterly sarcastic.
He pretended not to see it.
"Qihang, it's been so long, why haven't you come yet?" Ruan Censhu sat down.
Yan Qihang was annoyed that his words had been interrupted.
But he couldn't offend her before he got what he wanted.
He coaxed gently, "I haven't seen the child for over ten years. I talked for a bit longer than usual and kept you waiting. Are you tired? Let's go home, okay?"
She was clearly playing the role of a virtuous and considerate husband.
They both got up to leave, neither of them saying a word.
“Hey,” Yan Buyu called out to him, “Didn’t you say you were going to give me some money? Here you go.”
Yan Qihang gritted his teeth and glanced at her.
Taking a deep breath and smiling, he said, "Dad doesn't have that much on him right now, but I'll transfer it to your account later."
He was silent and looked aggrieved.
Ruan Censhu thought that the relationship between the father and daughter had improved. "Qihang, didn't I just give you 500,000 today? Give it to the child first, and I'll make up the difference to you later."
Yan Qihang reluctantly transferred the money back to Yan Buyu.
Finally, in a voice only the two of them could hear, they said, "I will make you pay a thousand times over."
Yan Buyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ruan. Goodbye, Auntie."
They didn't mention setting sail at all.
After all, the money belonged to Ruan Censhu, so it's not wrong for her to thank her like this, is it?
After the two of them left, Si Jingxu sat down next to them.
"What did you just say? You don't look well."
