No one knows what Yan Yaoyao and Zhou Yuanxi talked about, but even this notoriously stingy Zhou Yuanxi was willing to provide betrothal gifts for Yan Yaoyao.
Not long after, Zhou Yuanxi had someone deliver a box of gold, silver and jade artifacts, and also transferred a house from her own name to Yan Yaoyao.
She didn't own much, so this was already a significant financial loss for her.
Zhou Yuanxi not only didn't feel heartbroken, but her face was beaming as she declared firmly, "My son's wedding can't be any less grand than others. It's just some betrothal gifts, right? What others have, my daughter-in-law can't be lacking either!"
Shen Qunbo glanced at her, not because he felt sorry for these things, but because he felt that Zhou Yuanxi seemed to have been possessed, which was really strange.
"Are you sure? Don't regret it later."
Zhou Yuanxi glanced at him and said, "You don't love your son, but you won't let me be generous this once."
Shen Qunbo laughed and said, "Okay, whatever makes you happy."
Having gained face, Yan Yaoyao gave Yan Qiao a smug smile.
Yan Qiao thought for a moment, then rested her chin on her hand and said, "You're not of legal marriage age yet. Are you planning to have the wedding first and then get the marriage certificate?"
Yan Yaoyao's smile faded slightly. "It doesn't matter when we get our marriage certificate. As long as Shen Zhou and I love each other, love can overcome any obstacle."
Yan Qiao: "...I really envy the skin on your face, it's so well-maintained."
She didn't hold back in mocking them, saying that Yan Yaoyao and Shen Zhou were just a bunch of trash, and there was nothing to show off.
[Hahaha, Yan Yaoyao's face turned black!]
[Yan Yaoyao is truly shameless; shamelessness knows no bounds.]
[Despite having a lot of blemishes, being able to appear calmly in front of the camera requires a level of mental fortitude that most people don't possess.]
Yan Yaoyao gritted her teeth, "You're just jealous of me! You used to always chase after Brother Chenzhou, but he never paid any attention to you. You must be very jealous of me now!"
Yan Qiao chuckled, "Yan Yaoyao, can't your acting be as minimal as your character? Me chasing after Chen Zhou? Who wants to chase after a trash can every day? I'm not trash."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't say you're trash. I meant you and Shen Zhou are a good match, and you're doing a great job with garbage sorting."
Zhou Yuanxi was furious. "Yan Qiao, don't you have any manners?"
Yan Qiao blinked and met her gaze without fear.
In the past, since the two families were related by marriage, they had to give her some face.
Who listens to her expression now?
“Aunt Zhou, it doesn’t seem quite right for you to say that. I don’t have much manners, but I have enough, maybe a little more than your son.”
Shen Zhou: "..." I didn't say anything at all.
Zhou Yuanxi was furious and blurted out every possible attack on Yan Qiao.
"If you had any manners, would you be so young and parading around with an old man? You must have a really good family upbringing!"
Chen Wu spat out the mouthful of tea he had just taken a sip at Yan Yaohui across from him.
"Uncle Yan, I'm sorry, cough cough cough... old man, hahaha..."
Xu Ran nudged his ribs hard with her elbow and glared at him.
"Still laughing!"
Shen Wu wiped his mouth and gave the "old man" Pei Jingzhan a mischievous look.
He's really calm.
Soon, he understood why Pei Jingzhan was so calm.
Because Yan Qiao is fiercely protective of her own, Zhou Yuanxi's words were tantamount to stepping on her sore spot.
Yan Qiao smiled coldly, "Aunt Zhou, what are you saying? Your son is young, but unfortunately, he's a good-for-nothing, good for nothing. Fortunately, Brother Shen Wu isn't his half-brother, leaving the Shen family with someone to inherit the family business. Otherwise, the Shen family would have been ruined by you and your two sons. What's wrong with me parading around with a man? Your son was still messing around when he was engaged to me, did I say anything? Your shamelessness is just like Yan Yaoyao's, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, truly living up to that saying..."
Xu Ran, unusually curious, asked, "Which sentence?"
"Trash should stay in the trash can. We should sort our trash properly. Look, it's all piled up here. That's pretty good," Yan Qiao said with a smirk.
Shen Zhou: "..." I really didn't say anything.
Shen Qunbo: "..." It's hard to explain in a few words.
No matter how bad Zhou Yuanxi and Shen Zhou are, one is his wife and the other is his son.
But Yan Qiao's retorts were truly unassailable to him.
Zhou Yuanxi's vision went black, and she almost fainted from anger.
"That's outrageous! You've gone too far!"
Yan Qiao curled her lips, "I'm trying to reason with you, but you resort to being a thug when you can't win. You even dare to talk to me about manners? You don't deserve it."
Chen Lan roared angrily, "Yan Qiao, you..."
"Don't speak, you're not worthy, tui!" Yan Qiao spat.
Yan Yaohui cleared his throat, "Yan Qiao..."
"Pah, shut up, you're the least worthy!" Yan Qiao attacked indiscriminately.
[Hahaha, I always said that Professor Yan Qiao couldn't retire from the literary world!]
I've always acknowledged Yan Qiao's offensive capabilities.
Yan Qiao is practically my mouth double.
Doesn't anyone think she's standing up for an "older man"?
Yan Qiao felt that it was about time, so she stood up and said, "Yan Yaoyao, which nursing home is your grandmother in? She has come all this way, so I should go and visit her."
Yan Yaoyao was shocked, "What are you visiting?"
"Didn't you hear me? Visit your grandmother." Yan Qiao repeated patiently.
Yan Yaoyao lowered her eyelids to hide her guilty conscience.
“My grandmother, why does she need your visit?”
Yan Qiao clicked her tongue. "Since you put it that way, I'll be frank. Ms. Yuan Mengchun has a will left by my grandfather. My grandfather, Mr. Yan Jiahao, left an inheritance for my mother. Because Ms. Yuan Mengchun concealed it, the inheritance has disappeared. I'm now trying to recover it on behalf of my mother."
As soon as she said that, several people's expressions changed drastically.
Yan Yaohui and Chen Lan were even worse.
Yan Yaohui vehemently denied it: "Impossible! All of the Yan family's inheritance will be inherited by my mother and me. There is no share for you!"
Chen Lan stared coldly at her, "Yan Qiao, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious. So many years have passed since the old days, and you still want to come back and fight for the inheritance? Dream on!"
Yan Qiao crossed her legs, her expression calm.
“I’m not competing with you. I don’t care about what you have now. What I care about is what my grandfather left to my mother.”
Yan Yaohui's face turned ashen. "I've already said, there's no such inheritance at all!"
Yan Yaoyao closed her eyes, her panic turning into determination, and stepped forward.
"This inheritance does indeed exist!"
Everyone stared at her in surprise.
Then she said, "However, this inheritance is not for Yan Shu, but for me and my mother! It is clearly written on it that it is for my mother, Ms. Chen Lan, and the child in her womb. The will is in my hands!"
