Chapter 62
"No, please come with me~" Ye Lingchen hugged Lu Yijin's arm and acted coquettishly.
"I've been eliminated." Lu Yijin felt a little disappointed.
"Didn't the director say that if I find a partner, I can participate in the second season? Go ahead, go ahead~"
"I don't have a boyfriend."
Ye Lingchen was calculating in his mind, "Why don't you just find a boyfriend and pretend to be him? That way we can go out and have fun. He'll definitely earn more than your internship. Once you save enough money, you can open a dessert shop."
Lu Yijin shook his head, thinking that his little Baicai could come up with such an idea.
Seeing that Lu Yijin refused to nod no matter what he said, Ye Lingchen became anxious and hugged his neck and started to cry. "You know, you have been my best friend since I came to this era. How could you bear to let me go to the variety show alone? What if I get bullied?"
Seeing Ye Lingchen crying, Lu Yijin panicked, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go to Hongniang.com to find a boyfriend!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingchen finally agreed. He squeezed out two tears and said, "I'll ask my brother to help us. What if you attract a liar?"
Under Ye Lingchen's crying, making a fuss and even threatening to commit suicide, Lu Yijin agreed to participate in the second season of the variety show with Qin Jinyan in a daze.
Ye Lingchen happily hugged Lu Yijin's shoulders and shook her, "Lu Xiaojin, I love you the most."
Jing Jianchen coughed softly beside him. Ye Lingchen didn't even notice the jealous person. Hehehe, he successfully seduced his sister-in-law.
Jing Jianchen was also counting the time for the variety show to start. Although Ye Lingchen had moved in, Qin Jinyan was staring at him too closely, and he had no chance at all.
Ye Lingchen happily smacked Lu Yijin's face, causing Lu Yijin's face to turn red. He frantically struggled to break free from Ye Lingchen's embrace, "I, I, I'm going to cut some fruit."
Seeing Lu Yijin fleeing in panic, Ye Lingchen chuckled. Jing Jianchen also smiled, a rare sight. "If your brother sees you, he'll definitely teach you a lesson."
"What's the big deal? She's my future sister-in-law~" His royal brother had really good taste. Lu Xiaojin was as timid as a rabbit, but he still wanted to rub her.
Ye Lingchen took out his phone and sent a message to his brother, "Sister-in-law, I've got it done. Brother, don't forget what you said~"
Jing Jianchen's phone rang while he was in a meeting. A smile appeared on his face as he replied to Ye Lingchen, "Feel free to take anything from the Qin family's warehouse."
Ye Lingchen laughed while holding the phone. He was so poor now, he had to hold on to his royal brother's thigh.
After Qin Jinyan put down his phone, the entire conference room fell silent. "Continue."
The manager who was speaking just now started his report again. Qin Jinyan frowned slightly when he listened. He pointed out several unreasonable places in the data and asked someone to redo it.
After reporting on his work, the manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If such a mistake had occurred in the past, their President Qin would have criticized it to pieces, but today it was just passed over so lightly.
After Qin Jinyan left, the managers began to discuss quietly, "Boss Qin seems to be in a good mood today."
"I noticed that too. It seems like my mood improved significantly after I picked up my phone."
"This is the first time I've seen Mr. Qin smile. Do you think he's in love?"
"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?! If Mr. Qin were in a relationship, I'd show you how to wash your hair upside down!"
Qin Jinyan returned to the office and turned on his phone. He gently touched the boy on the screensaver and asked his assistant, "Has the plan for the second season of 'Love in Progress' been submitted?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin, it's already going through the approval process."
"Bring it up and I'll personally review it."
"Yes." The chief assistant went to get the planning proposal with some doubts. Why did their President Qin take such a fancy to this dating show this time? Could it be that he fell in love with one of the guests? That didn't make sense. The theme of the second season was passionate love, and the show would be paired up.
Qin Jinyan frowned slightly as he looked at the submitted plan. He had personally taken charge of the planning for the second season. When the director received the new plan, he was completely stunned. "Assistant, this is not the version we submitted."
The plans they submitted were more inclined towards the interaction between lovers, the wilder the better, but the new plans are more like boiling a frog in warm water, holding hands, hugging, kissing... Each step gradually deepens the relationship between the lovers, and it is as green as first love. Isn’t the theme of our second season passionate love!
The general assistant pushed his eyes up and said, "This is the plan made by President Qin himself."

When Qin Jinyan came back, she was holding a cup of milk tea and a pot of Danish bluebells with small white flowers in full bloom.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ye Lingchen rushed over, "Royal brother."
Qin Jinyan handed over the milk tea in his hand and said, "Drink it with your sister-in-law."
Ye Lingchen winked at his brother, "Brother, are these flowers for me too?"
"No, I'm sending it to your sister-in-law for my brother."
"Yes, sir!" Ye Lingchen ran off with the lovely flower in his arms. "Lu Xiaojin, come out quickly! My brother will be here with some milk tea!"
Lu Yijin, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen. Ye Lingchen stuffed the pot of flowers into Lu Yijin's arms and said, "My brother brought this for you."
Lu Yijin reached out and gently touched the soft little flower, "Thank you."
Qin Jinyan smiled, "I should thank Xiaojin for helping me."
At the dinner table, Qin Jinyan said, "A Ling, how about we hold a banquet for you in a couple of days? I'll write your name into the Qin family's genealogy."
"Sure, whatever."
Qin Jinyan thought about this issue for a long time and wrote Aling into the family tree as his biological brother, so that no one would dare to spread rumors behind his back, not only Aling, but also his little queen in the future.
Jing Jianchen paused with his chopsticks. Qin Jinyan was definitely going to be his brother-in-law, so his journey to pursue his wife was going to be a long one.
Qin Jinyan acted quickly. The next day, he asked his housekeeper to start preparing for the banquet and sent invitations to all the wealthy families in City A. Although the Qin family also had voices of opposition, they were suppressed by Qin Jinyan's strong means.
For a time, there were many different opinions about A being a member of the upper class. No one knew whether this younger brother was really a younger brother or had some hidden agenda.
The Ye family, a small family, was not among those invited by the Qin family. When Ye Zhendong received congratulations from his business partner, he was still confused, "Congratulations for what?"
His business partner looked at him in confusion, "Didn't the Qin family send an invitation to your Ye family?"
"What invitation?"
"The Qin family wants to take your son in as a brother, or to include him in their Qin family tree. Don't you know?"
Ye Zhendong's eyes went dark and he almost fainted, "How could I not know!"
Ye Zhendong took out his phone and called his unfilial son, "Ye Lingchen, you want to be included in my family tree?!"
"Yeah, yeah, are you happy?" The tone on the other end of the phone was very cheerful. Ye Zhendong was so angry that his chest felt tight. "You are from my Ye family, why do you want to be included in the Qin family's genealogy! If you keep messing around with me, I'll break your legs!"
The voice on the other end turned cold. "Try it. Ye Zhendong told you long ago that you would be childless in this life, but you refused to believe it."
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and Ye Zhendong was so angry that he fell down on the chair.
When Li Yaoye heard the news, she laughed out loud. Ye Lingchen was going to sever ties with their Ye family, and from then on, everything in the Ye family would belong to his son.
Ye Zhendong was so angry that he skipped the afternoon class and went home with a bitter face. Before he entered the house, he heard cheerful music. He walked into the house and saw Li Yao dancing to the music with a glass of wine in her hand.
Ye Zhendong raised his hand and threw the speakers to the ground. Li Yao was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Zhendong suddenly appear, and then she quickly walked over. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong in the company?"
"It's okay, it's that little bastard Ye Lingchen who's trying to get into someone else's family tree. It's pissing me off!"
Li Yao quickly calmed him down, "The child is just playing around, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"What a joke! The Qin family has already sent out invitations!"
Although Li Yao was almost overjoyed, she still had a surprised expression on her face, "This kid!"
"Mom, mom, that little bastard Ye Lingchen is going to marry into the Qin family?! Then the Ye family will belong to me alone?" Ye Chengzong rushed into the house upon hearing the news. He smiled so hard that the fat on his face squeezed out his eyes.
As soon as he came in, he was met with Ye Zhendong's cold face. Ye Chengzong was so frightened that his expression froze. Li Yao's heart tightened, "Husband."
Ye Zhendong raised his hand and slapped Ye Chengzong in the face, "Your father is not dead yet!"
Li Yao pulled Ye Zhendong's side, "The child is still young and naive, husband, don't be angry."
"He wants me dead!" Ye Zhendong shook off the person who was pulling him and went upstairs with an angry face. Sitting in the study, Ye Lingchen's words about having no descendants kept ringing in his mind again.
The next day, Ye Zhendong handed his and Ye Chengzong's hair to his assistant for identification.
After anxiously waiting for three days, he got the paternity test. The words "no blood relationship" on it made him breathless and he passed out.
When he opened his eyes, Li Yao sat beside him with red eyes, "Zhendong, you're awake, do you want some water?"
"Where is Chengzong? Why can't I see him?"
"Chengzong is out of town. He knew you fainted and was already on the plane."
Ye Zhendong closed his eyes. Where was he going to play again? "You go out and let the assistant come in."
Li Yao nodded, "Then I'll go home and make you some chicken soup."
After the assistant came in, she secretly looked into the room again, but she couldn't hear clearly what Ye Zhendong said to the assistant. Ye Lingchen was gone, and no more accidents could happen at this time. The Ye family would belong to her and his son.
The assistant nodded and left after hearing the instructions. Li Yao smiled at the assistant and asked, "Is there something important at the company?"
The assistant just nodded slightly at her, then left without looking back. Li Yao felt inexplicably uneasy. Ye Zhendong must have been sent to the hospital because of Ye Lingchen's anger.
When Li Yao returned home, she saw the housekeeper directing the servants to move things out. "Housekeeper, what are you doing?"
"The master said to clean up the house."
Li Yao saw the servants carrying a bag of clothes and throwing it in the yard. Inside were all her clothes. Li Yao ran over in high heels, "What are you doing! You are rebelling! Put it down! Put it down!"
Li Yao wanted to go back into the house but was stopped by the housekeeper, "Ms. Li Yao, please leave the Ye family."
"What Ye family? I'm Ye Zhendong's wife!"
"If you have anything to say, go talk to the master."
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ye Zhendong knew about this? Impossible. He hadn't discovered it in all these years. It didn't make sense for him to suddenly discover it.
Li Yao was about to rush back into the house when two tall and strong servants grabbed her arms and dragged her out. She lay on the ground in a mess, her hair disheveled and one of her high heels missing. She kept swearing, "Just wait for me!"
Li Yao hailed a taxi and headed straight for the hospital. Her mind was full of questions about whether Ye Zhendong had discovered her secret. She, who always cared about her appearance, was too lazy to even fix her hair. Just as she was lost in thought, her phone rang. Before she could say anything, someone on the other end started talking, "Mom, why isn't my card working? I was shopping."
"Come back quickly and go to Ankang Hospital."
"I'll be back soon after I finish shopping. Why are you in such a hurry? The old man won't die anytime soon."
"He can't die, but we two are about to die." When the car arrived at the hospital, Li Yao hung up the phone and rushed in.
Ye Chengzong, who was buying a bag for his girlfriend at the airport duty-free shop, was not giving up. His girlfriend even held his arm affectionately and said, "Brother Ye, I really like this bag."
Ye Chengzong tried to swipe several other cards, but they were all rejected by the salesgirl. "Sorry, sir, these cards can't be swiped either."
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye~"
Ye Chengzong looked a little embarrassed, "There's something urgent at home, we'll buy it another day."
Ye Chengzong fled from the luxury store like he was escaping. He had never been so embarrassed since he was a child. His face was burning. His girlfriend behind him was so angry that she shouted, "Ye Chengzong, you want to get whore for free!"
Many people around looked at him, and Ye Chengzong quickly ran away with his suitcase.
After Li Yao entered the hospital, she rushed to Ye Zhendong's ward without saying a word, "Honey, the servants at home threw out all my things."
Next to Ye Zhendong stood a man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like an elite. Ye Zhendong waved at the man and said, "Lawyer Zhang, please leave first."
Li Yao was still feigning innocence when the situation arose. "Husband, why did you call a lawyer over when nothing was wrong?"
Ye Zhendong threw the personal appraisal in Li Yao's face, "Bitch, see for yourself!"
When Li Yao saw the words on the paternity test on the cover, her face turned pale. "Zhendong, husband, is someone framing us mother and son? Chengzong is your biological son!"
Ye Zhendong snorted and laughed, "You know it's Ye Chengzong's paternity test without even looking at it?"
Li Yao was stunned. She threw herself on Ye Zhendong and cried, "Zhendong, for the sake of our long-term marriage, Chengzong has called you dad for more than ten years. Please forgive me. Chengzong is innocent."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Ye Chengzong pushed the door open. As soon as he came in, he heard something about husband and wife and dad.
Ye Zhendong didn't want to watch this woman's performance anymore. "Li Yao, the lawyer will talk to you about the divorce. You take your bastard and leave the Ye family."
"Dad, what are you talking about? You want to divorce my mom?" Ye Chengzong couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Someone, someone, get these two bitches out of here!"
The bodyguard at the door heard the call and came up to push the two out. When Ye Chengzong was thrown out of the hospital gate, he was still confused, "Mom, what happened between you and Dad? Is it because of you that Dad blocked all my bank cards?!"
Li Yao was filled with rage. Her son was still blaming her at this moment, so she raised her hand and slapped him, "Master Ye, it's time to wake up from your dream of being a rich young master. Ye Zhendong is not your father, do you understand?!"
She was now penniless after being kicked out of the Ye family. Li Yao remembered the clothes she had thrown out of the house and quickly took a taxi back. When she came back, the door of the Ye family was closed. She shook the door a few times and said, "Open the door for me, open the door!"
Behind her followed Ye Chengzong, whose face looked pale. He still refused to believe what his mother said.
Li Yao knocked frantically on the door but no one answered her. She sat down on the ground exhausted. Her dream of becoming a wealthy wife was shattered. "No, no, as long as I'm not dead, the Ye family will be mine sooner or later."
Li Yao ran towards the trash can in the community, and Ye Chengzong followed behind her, "Mom, mom, where are you going?"
Several trash cans in the neighborhood were filled with clothes. Li Yao frantically picked out the clothes from them. These were all her brand-name clothes. Ye Chengzong grabbed the woman who was rummaging through the trash cans and said, "Mom, you're crazy! It's so embarrassing if others see this!"
Li Yao pushed her son away and continued to pluck her clothes from the trash can. Ye Chengzong also saw his clothes and sneakers in there. "My limited edition sneakers!"
The several trash cans in the neighborhood were filled with the things the Ye family had cleared out. A charming woman passing by covered her nose and walked over. "Mrs. Ye, is your Ye family bankrupt? How did you end up having to scrape trash cans to make a living?"
"Get lost! You, my mistress, dare to laugh at me! Even though I'm down and out, you can't ruin me!"
The two men started fighting after a disagreement. Ye Chengzong, who came to separate them, was scratched on his face. In the end, the community security guard came and separated the three people.
Li Yao and Ye Chengzong, both with wounds on their faces, sat on the Huolala truck and left. Li Yao gave the Ye family a vicious look and said, "Ye Zhendong, divorce is not that easy."
*
Ye Zhendong, lying on the hospital bed, frowned in his sleep. In his dream, a young man stood beside a beautiful woman, "Ye Zhendong, you are the one who takes care of my son!"
"Qingyang, Qingyang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ye Zhendong suddenly opened his eyes. He was covered in cold sweat and lay on the bed, gasping for breath a few times before he recovered.
He tremblingly took out his cell phone and called Ye Lingchen, but the line was always busy. He called several more times but no one answered.
The Qin family's banquet was held in the Qin family's ancestral home. Ye Lingchen and Lu Yijin had been taken to the Qin family by Qin Jinyan. Of course, it was impossible for Jing Jianchen to live in his house. Qin Jinyan just couldn't stand Jing Jianchen, a pig who wanted to take over his brother.
As soon as Ye Lingchen arrived at the Qin family's house, he met a stern-faced old man. Qin Jinyan gestured to Ye Lingchen, "Call me Grandpa."
"grandfather."
The old man snorted and walked away with his hands behind his back. Ye Lingchen also snorted at his back. Who wouldn't do that?
Lu Yijin whispered, "Ye Chenchen, he doesn't seem to like you."
"I don't like him yet." Ye Lingchen said indifferently.
Qin Jinyan chuckled, "Don't worry about him. I guess the old man hasn't figured it out yet."
Qin Jinyan took the two children to the room and said, "If there is anything you don't like, just tell me directly."
Ye Lingchen bared his fangs towards his royal brother, "Got it, brother."
After Qin Jinyan settled everyone down, he inspected the arrangements for the dinner. Ye Lingchen couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled Lu Yijin along and started wandering around the Qin family. The last time he and his family's tutor came, it was too late and he couldn't see clearly.
The Qin family's ancestral home was built to resemble the Su family's gardens. Ye Lingchen was critical as he looked at it, "It's not even close to the beautiful palace of the princes back then."
As they were walking, they saw the old man sitting alone under the pavilion playing chess. Ye Lingchen was a born rebel and he still remembered the old man's bad face towards him just now. Ye Lingchen walked over quietly. Old Master Qin, who was concentrating on the chess game, was groping for the white chess piece in his hand and did not notice.
The black pieces on the chessboard were surrounded, and the white pieces seemed powerless to turn the situation around. Ye Lingchen picked up the white pieces and placed them on the board.
When Old Man Qin saw that his chess game was ruined, he immediately became anxious and said, "Don't move!"
"You are too stupid, old man. You can't even solve such a simple chess game."
"What do you know, you ignorant child!"
"You are the ignorant old man. Look for yourself, I broke the black chess game with just one move." Ye Lingchen retorted. Lu Yijin pulled Ye Lingchen's sleeve, fearing that Ye Lingchen would make him angry.
Old Master Qin took a closer look and it was true. What a good boy! He turned the situation around with just one move. He had been thinking about this chess game for two days but couldn't figure out a way to crack it.
"You, come here and play two games with me." The stubborn old man didn't believe that he couldn't beat a young boy. He was going to teach this rude kid a lesson today.
The two men started the game again, with Old Man Qin holding the white pieces and Ye Lingchen holding the black pieces. Ye Lingchen played the chess piece loosely with one hand and held his chin with the other. As soon as the old man finished his move, he finished it in a snap, forcing the old man opposite to him to wipe his sweat continuously.
Lu Yijin tugged at Ye Lingchen's sleeve, hinting several times that he should give way to the old man, but Ye Lingchen clearly didn't get the signal. "Lu Xiaojin, is your eye cramp?"
Lu Xiaojin wanted to hold his forehead with his hands. Ye Chenchen, this is Qin Jinyan's grandfather, and your future grandfather. Are you sure you don't want to show mercy?!
Ye Lingchen was still confident in his Go skills. He was taught Go by his family's tutor. If he couldn't beat his tutor, how could he beat an old man?
Ye Lingchen played chess very quickly. Every time Grandpa Qin made a move, he would immediately follow suit. However, when it was Grandpa Qin's turn, he would stare at the chessboard and study it for a long time. Ye Lingchen yawned, "Hurry up, old man! I'm almost falling asleep."
Old Master Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was the first time in all his years in the Go world that he had encountered such a formidable opponent. "This game doesn't count. Let's start over again."
"shameless."
In two consecutive rounds, Mr. Qin was beaten to a pulp by Ye Lingchen. Lu Yijin was afraid that the old man would faint, so he kindly served him tea and water.
Ye Lingchen dropped his chess piece with a thud. Hehehe, he was relieved after beating the old man. "I don't want to play anymore. You're too weak."
"No, keep going!" Old Master Qin was furious after losing and refused to let the opponent go no matter what. He was now questioning his life. Was his chess skill really that bad?!
