Yan Junqi followed behind Lin Yitong. He looked up at Lin Yitong's back, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
"Aunt Lin, I'm sorry about what happened today."
He finally called out to Lin Yitang and lowered his head to wait for trial.
"Why do you need to apologize?" Lin Yitang said he didn't quite understand.
"Just now, I didn't stand up for you, but instead made you suffer the injustice."
Pain flashed in Yan Junqi's eyes, and he felt so guilty and ashamed that he almost dropped his head to the ground.
"Well, actually, I enjoy being rude to people, and it's not your fault, so there's no need to reflect on it."
"No, they targeted you because of me." Yan Junqi confessed quickly.
Receiving Lin Yitang's puzzled gaze, Yan Junqi slowly exhaled, "That's my mother and stepfather, and their daughter."
Lin Yitong understood instantly and finally understood Yan Junqi's unnatural actions just now.
It was almost possible to conclude instantly that the relationship between the couple and Yan Junqi was not harmonious. What's more, Lin Yitang could still remember the disgust and hatred in the woman's eyes when she looked at Yan Junqi.
She looked at Yan Junqi with dismay, "If I wasn't here today, would you have given the ice cream to them?"
The always arrogant Master Yan looked at Lin Yitang's expression and said, "It's just an ice cream."
Lin Yitang closed her eyes, feeling powerless at his words.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yitang looked at him with a stern face and said, "No matter how worthless or small it is, it's still yours. If you don't want to give it to me, you can refuse to give it to me no matter how others force you."
Yan Junqi wanted to argue, saying that he had lived like this all those years with his mother, and as long as the child wanted it, he would definitely give it to her.
Over time, he got used to it.
Lin Yitang sighed at his expression, "You've been with Wen Hangxing for so long, how come you haven't learned his ruthlessness at all? He has always had a strong desire to control his things, and he wouldn't let anyone touch them even if it meant destroying them."
Yan Junqi's mouth moved. In fact, he was the same. He was unwilling to give his things to others, but if he didn't, his mother would cry to him in pain and hatred, "Why do you have the same personality as that man? I really hate you!"
When he was young, he didn't understand. He thought that if he gave away his toys, his mother would love him more, so he always gave his things to the so-called sister obediently, not daring to show the slightest reluctance.
As a result, no matter how much I try to please others, I am still unpopular.
Lin Yitang held his forehead, feeling distressed. "You are the heir of the Yan family, how could you be controlled by two people like this?"
Yan Junqi raised his head in confusion, "Huh?"
Lin Yitang looked at him with extremely complicated eyes, "You haven't taken over the family business yet, right?"
Although Yan Junqi didn't understand why she jumped to this question, he still replied obediently: "Indeed not yet, what's wrong, Aunt Lin?"
Lin Yitang said bitterly, "That's why you're so naive! These two people were clearly trying to take advantage of your weakness and you fell for it."
Yan Junqi, who was labeled as "naive" for the first time, tried to defend himself, "I am also managing some of my own businesses, Aunt Lin, I'm actually not as... "
Lin Yitang stopped him with a gesture, "No need to explain. You haven't reacted even after being bullied to the point of being a fool. If you're not stupid, who else is?"
Yan Junqi was stunned and kept silent. He only heard Lin Yitang continue: "Putting aside her identity as your mother, she is just an ordinary person. Could it be that that man is more powerful than your family?"
Yan Junqi sneered, disdain flashing in his eyes, "How is that possible? He's just the boss of a small company that can't be put on the stage."
"That's it. You, the heir of the Yan family, have been controlled by these two people. If this gets out, wouldn't it be a joke?"
Yan Junqi: This statement is not quite right, but after careful consideration, the logic is correct.
Seeing him deep in thought, Lin Yitang struck while the iron was hot, "Jun Qi, you have to know that not everyone in this world can be a good mother. Some mothers and children are destined not to be together, but it is definitely not the child's fault."
Yan Junqi's heart trembled, and he clenched his teeth tightly to suppress the tears that were about to burst out.
His voice was hoarse, "I understand, Aunt Lin."
"That's good." Lin Yitang glanced at the time and said decisively, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go home quickly."
Yan Junqi: “…”
Did the topic really have to change so quickly? He hadn't even reacted yet, immersed in sadness just a second ago.
When he returned home, only the housekeeper came to greet him.
Lin Yitang's scalp tingled when she saw him and she tried to avoid him.
But the housekeeper called her with a smile, "Madam is back."
Escape failed.
Lin Yitang cleared his throat and moved to the side while responding.
Yan Junqi, who was standing right in front of her and facing the housekeeper, said: "..."
"Good afternoon, Uncle Liu."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Master Jun Qi. Did you enjoy your afternoon?"
Yan Junqi was also a little scared, but when he caught a glimpse of Lin Yitong who had been hiding behind him, a sense of justice arose in his heart, and he straightened his back.
"Very good, thank you for your connection, Uncle Liu."
The housekeeper's smile deepened. "That's good. Young Master Jun Qi's homeroom teacher just called and said you seemed to have forgotten your class this afternoon, so he asked me to let you know. Do you need to call him back?"
Yan Junqi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the smiling housekeeper in disbelief and thought sadly and angrily: The people in the Wen family are really evil-hearted. They even informed on others!
He looked at Lin Yitang beside him and desperately sent a distress signal.
Lin Yitang looked away, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Yan Junqi: “???”
What's going on? Don't even mention that you're afraid of the housekeeper.
Lin Yitang's eyes clearly conveyed to him an affirmative answer: Yes, I am really scared.
Yan Junqi: Isn't that what you mean by status suppression? You are the mistress of the Wen family, how could you be afraid of the housekeeper?
Lin Yitang spread his hands slightly and said, "There's nothing I can do. He has a strong backing and I'm still a little scared. Besides, Uncle Liu is really nagging. For my leisure time, I have to pity you to sacrifice a little."
Yan Junqi: Well, this is really a thankless task. Forget it, I might as well die bravely.
So he nodded to the housekeeper and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I will reply to the teacher immediately."
The housekeeper pointed upstairs and said, "Master Yan, please go upstairs first. We won't disturb you."
