Not long after Yan Qiao returned to the courtyard house, she received a message from Li Wang saying that Yao Wanchang had agreed to refund the money and compensate her, and the house had been taken back.
She thought to herself, "This is pretty efficient."
She was scrolling through Weibo, and Jin Lu alone occupied three trending topics, all of which were negative.
The first point is that Jin Lu tricked Weng Yun and Yan Qiao into drinking with her under the guise of "My Mansion".
Yan Qiao and Weng Yun's fans are absolutely furious.
The second item is the real face of Jin Lu's husband, Yao Wanchang, which her fans find completely unacceptable.
The third point is that Yao Wanchang is actually a divorced man with a son.
Jin Lu had previously denied being a stepmother on multiple occasions, but this time she was proven wrong in a live broadcast, a statement that was both resounding and painful.
To prevent her child from appearing on her live streams, she locked him in his room every day and didn't give him anything to eat.
From the moment Jin Lu married the divorced man, I felt like she had been possessed!
If she openly admitted that she loves money, I might think more highly of her.
[If not for money, what would you be after? His age, his divorce, and his child?]
In fact, these are not major stains. What people find unacceptable is that she deceived the public.
Locking a child in a room to satisfy one's vanity is a flaw in one's character.
The affair between Weng Yun and Yan Qiao brought this matter to a climax.
Weng Yun proactively sent Yan Qiao a private message: 【Thanks for the reminder before. I'll treat you to dinner later as an apology.】
If it weren't for Yan Qiao, who knows if Jin Lu would have done something even more outrageous, like sending her to Lin Kuan's bed.
However, their visit was unsuccessful and they will need to draw lots again.
Yan Qiao asked, "Is anyone else going to draw for me?"
Qi Yaoting has left the show, and Jin Lu is currently remaining silent; it's unclear whether she can continue.
All that was left were Lü Chenglin, Weng Yun, Yan Qiao, and Yan Yaoyao.
Zhang Song prayed in his heart that he wouldn't draw Yan Yaoyao, otherwise the two of them would probably fight.
Yan Qiao casually pulled it out and handed it to him.
"See for yourself."
Zhang Song's finger moved down, and when he saw the character "晏", a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
[Haha, who did Yan Qiao draw? Brother Zhang looks so desperate.]
[I'm guessing it's Yan Yaoyao, that'll make it interesting!]
No way, that's way too melodramatic!
[I don't want to see Yan Yaoyao. Yan Qiao would probably find the things she's done disgusting.]
Zhang Song: "Congratulations on drawing Yan Yaoyao. Prepare well and head to Yan Yaoyao's house for a visit tomorrow."
Yan Qiao: "...Yan Yaoyao?"
Zhang Song nodded.
Yan Qiao asked, "Can we draw again?"
Zhang Song thought that maybe he could draw again, so he gave her another chance.
"Go ahead and smoke."
As a result, Yan Qiao drew three more times, and each time she drew "Yan Yaoyao".
[Hahaha, this damn sense of destiny!]
[Stop hitting me, Yan Qiao. You can't escape Yan Yaoyao's grasp.]
This is what they call "enemies destined to meet"!
Yan Qiao gave up, "Let's go with her, it's just one meal anyway."
Soon, Zhang Song received the message and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Yan Qiao: "...Good news?"
Zhang Song: "You're not going alone; someone is with you."
Yan Qiao gave an "oh," which wasn't exactly good news.
"And the bad news?"
Zhang Song: "The person who accompanied you to visit was Jin Lu."
Yan Qiao: "...It's better to go by myself."
Jin Lu has really good mental fortitude; she dared to go on the show even after being criticized like that.
Zhang Song touched his nose and said, "It's a rule of the show, and there's no way to change it."
Yan Qiao went to Yan Yaoyao's house as a guest. The scene was so dramatic, it's estimated that the live stream will explode tomorrow.
The director decided to add fuel to the fire and suggested that Jin Lu go along as well.
Jin Lu happened to want to apologize to Yan Qiao, so she agreed.
Yan Qiao sat in the courtyard, her feet crossed, looking up at the tender buds sprouting from the Chinese toon tree.
Spring is coming.
Pei Jingzhan walked in from outside. "What are you daydreaming about?"
Yan Qiao glanced at him. "Have you had lunch?"
"I've eaten. I also brought you some roast duck. Do you want some?"
Yan Qiao quickly sat up straight. "Eat!"
Pei Jingzhan put down the roast duck, and to make sure it tasted better, he grabbed a takeout box and rushed back immediately.
Watching Yan Qiao eat happily, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.
Do you know Qi Shengfang?
Yan Qiao paused, surprised, and asked, "How do you know this person?"
Pei Jingzhan raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs, and leaned back comfortably in the chair.
"It seems you know."
Yan Qiao nodded. "I know her because my grandfather... Yan Jiahao, left my mother an inheritance. He was probably worried that Yuan Mengchun would steal it, so he entrusted Qi Shengfang to deliver it to my mother. But before the inheritance reached my mother, Qi Shengfang passed away. But how do you know this person?"
Pei Jingzhan chuckled lightly, "What a coincidence."
"Qi Shengfang was Qi Shengwen's younger sister and Qi Yaoting's aunt. After Qi Shengfang's death, Qi Shengwen inherited a large sum of money, and the Qi family became one of the most wealthy families."
Yan Qiao: "...So the Qi family got rich from my grandfather's inheritance."
Pei Jingzhan asked, "Since the old man left his things to your mother, there must have been a will."
Yan Qiao shook her head. "I don't have it, but Yuan Mengchun should. Before my grandfather died, Yuan Mengchun guarded it and wouldn't let my grandmother and mother see him one last time. I suppose there's something to it about the inheritance."
Despite her vigilance, she ultimately failed to obtain the inheritance and instead benefited someone else.
Pei Jingzhan said no more and took out a box.
"This is a return gift from my mother. The two elders really like the bracelet you made."
Yan Qiao's eyes lit up slightly. She opened the box and saw that it was actually an imperial green jade bracelet.
This water quality is top-notch.
Yan Qiao suddenly felt that the box in her hands was too heavy.
"My rosewood bracelet isn't worth that much money."
"The old lady likes this kind of thing, you can keep it."
Yan Qiao: "...This isn't your family heirloom, is it?"
Pei Jingzhan glanced at it casually, "No."
Since the old lady gave it to him, he took it.
If you don't even know who to give it to, how could you possibly give it as a family heirloom?
Yan Qiao tried on the bracelet; its translucent color made her skin appear as white as snow, with an icy and jade-like appearance.
Is it pretty?
However, Yan Qiao was young and lacked the poise that comes with age, so she couldn't quite pull off the bracelet.
Pei Jingzhan looked at her slender, rounded wrist with his dark eyes. "Beautiful."
Yan Qiao took out her phone, took a picture, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
Yan Qiao: [Received a new gift, so happy! [Image]]
Pei Xiang liked the post instantly.
Pei Xiang: [Surprised] [Surprised]
Ying Tiantian: [Surprised] [Surprised]
Li Qiao: [Surprised] [Surprised]
Pei Xiang didn't go to Yan Qiao, fearing she would give herself away, but instead went to Pei Jingzhan.
Pei Xiang: [Uncle! You've already given away the family heirloom, and you still say you're not interested in Yan Qiao!]
JZ: [...]
His gaze was fixed on the jade bracelet on Yan Qiao's wrist, and he closed his eyes briefly.
That old lady is such a jerk.
Just then, Shi Yuehua also saw Yan Qiao's picture.
She was a seasoned jade collector and had amassed quite a collection, so she naturally knew that Yan Qiao's item must be very valuable.
She forwarded the picture to her friends.
October Flower: [Yu Fan, look at this bracelet, how does it compare to that family heirloom you have?]
The old lady of the Pei family was shocked and quickly put on her glasses to look.
old lady:"……"
"They're about even... Where did you get that idea from?"
They're not just evenly matched, they're practically identical—they're the same one!
October Flower: [It was a gift from my granddaughter's friend; she posted about it on her WeChat Moments.]
The old lady was so shocked she couldn't speak. So... her son had kidnapped someone else's granddaughter!
That son of a bitch! How could she do this to her old friend of so many years?!
