Chapter 127: Watching Her Being Bad, Yan Beicheng Really Wanted to Say, He Liked It!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not up to her to control that son.

“When you’ve become my mother-in-law, then I’ll start treating you with respect.” A fake smile was plastered on Lin Chu’s face. Her eyes were not smiling but looked cold. It was full of sarcasm.

Jiang Changdai felt like she was slapped across the face! She had never taken care of Yan Beicheng and nearly even lost him when he was younger. Now, she wanted him to marry the daughter of her former lover, and that was crazy about her. It disgusted her to think Jiang Changdai could come up with such a thought, she wanted to throw up.

Rather than describing her being stupid, it was better to say that she had never given much thought to Yan Beicheng nor was she even concerned about him, otherwise, she would not have done something like this to him.

Normal people would never do what she did. One could even substitute their brains with their feet to know that Yan Beicheng would never listen to her. Yet, she still had the gall to come looking for her to play the part of the unhappy mother-in-law.

Lin Chu could no longer stay, she could not even continue putting on her fake smile.

Her eyes were a little red as her heart ached for Yan Beicheng’s sake. She had even wanted to interrogate Jiang Changdai on behalf of Yan Beicheng. What did she treat Yan Beicheng as?

What part of Yan Beicheng that could not compare to another? He was her real son yet she treated the daughter of her former lover, someone who had no blood relations with her, better than she did him.

She wanted to shout out loud, ‘You are an unfit mother, why could you not let go of Yan Beicheng and live your life? You would rather put yourself down to make your old lover’s daughter happy. Fine, but stop your disgusting behavior with Yan Beicheng’.

‘He may seem to be a cold, distant man, but he would still feel sad. Even if he no longer harbored any hope for you, you would still be his real mother, regardless. He would still feel hurt from the way you treated him.’

She wanted to scream at Jiang Changdai about having such a good son, yet why did she not like him?! Why did she not cherish him?! She may not like or cherish him, but please do not destroy him!

Even if he deserved someone better than Lin Chu, that someone should not be like Lu Weining! Not someone used by Jiang Changdai as a tool to make her old lover happy.

Only someone as blind as Jiang Changdai could not see how great and outstanding Yan Beicheng was.

She had never met a woman as terrible as her. It would be a good thing if Jiang Changdai could spare a minor thought for Yan Beicheng, but even that did not exist.

She treated Yan Beicheng badly and had never given him anything, yet now, she wanted to control him. She had never treated him as a human being, but as an object with no emotions.

But Yan Beicheng was still human. His heart was made out of flesh. She knew that this man had a very kind heart. When he was at his saddest, he still remembered to treat a little girl with kindness. He may claim that he did not like Mo Jingxi but he would still buy the children new clothes. He would complain about Yan Ningbai but he still took good care of the child.

He was the most kind-hearted person she knew yet he was being trampled on by Jiang Changdai!

If only Jiang Changdai could treat Yan Beicheng a little better, even if she could show him a shred of concern, if she could just ask him once in a while if he had eaten, then it would be enough for Yan Beicheng to show her filial piety and respect.

Lin Chu felt angry for Yan Beicheng’s sake. How could such a good man be involved with someone like Jiang Changdai?

She lowered her head so her hair could cover her eyes. She closed her eyes to stop that tear from falling out of them.

Even if the tears were meant for Yan Beicheng, she did not want Jiang Changdai to see them. With Jiang Changdai’s attitude, the tears might be mistaken for her giving in to Jiang Changdai.

She took a deep breath and held back her tears with difficulty before raising her eyes to look at Jiang Changdai.

Lin Chu clenched her teeth and said, “No matter what, you are Beicheng’s mother. There’s a lot of words I won’t be able to say to you because of Beicheng. If it were someone else who did what you did, I would tell her that she doesn’t deserve to be a mother, she doesn’t even deserve to be a human being! As a wife, she was unfaithful. As a mother, she gave birth to a child and neglected it. As someone who owes another a life, she repaid their kindness with ingratitude. How could someone like that think she can tell me who I’m worthy of? This kind of person is only worthy of the man with the worst heart and the worst personality, they’d both be like the turtle and the green bean 1 .

Jiang Changdai was so angry, her face went pale. She almost had to lie down on her seat. Lin Chu claimed that it was not her place to say anything, but she did not miss out on anything being said. She may seem to be talking about someone else, but every sentence was an attack on her!

Lin Chu kept reminding her of a past she had intentionally tried to ignore or forget. She was not given any space for sympathy and was accused by Lin Chu to the very last deed.

She… She even called her a turtle!

Lin Chu looked at her coldly, then got up and walked out of the café, leaving behind Jiang Changdai who was still pressing her hands to her heart. She was still reveling in what had just happened.

A café waiter later walked over to ask if he needed to help her make a call to 120 1 .

What’s there to call 120?!

Lin Chu gave Zheng Yuntong a call when she walked out of the café to inform her that she could not make it to the restaurant.

She felt like she needed to vent her anger, so she went straight towards Yan Hui.

But she stopped right in front of the door of Yan Hui.

What was she doing here at this time? To look for Yan Beicheng?

She did not even know if Yan Beicheng was having his lunch somewhere else.

When she said those words to Jiang Changdai, she wanted so badly to see Yan Beicheng, even if it was a glance. As long as she could see his handsome, smiling face, her anger would dissipate. So, she made a run here.

However, she stopped herself when she was here. She had never done anything rash, yet she ran over during working hours just because she wanted to see him.

It would be embarrassing if people found out about it. It would not be dignified of her if they felt that she was too clingy and could not leave Yan Beicheng for even one second.

She sighed. She was feeling a little hungry after that run. She rubbed her tummy and decided to turn back and find a restaurant on the way to have a meal. At that moment, a young man on a bike stopped at the entrance of Yan Hui.

He took out a bag of takeaway from the insulated box at the back of his bike. One could see the vague shape of the takeaway box from the white bag. It looked like it was filled with a lot of food.

The young man walked up to the steps of Yan Hui quickly. Zuo Qiu was waiting there for his takeaway.

Zuo Qiu took a look at the young man and saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised and thought he had made a mistake, so he turned back to look clearly.

That was Lin Chu!

Lin Chu was about to walk off when Zuo Qiu hurriedly called out, “Miss Lin!”

Lin Chu paused and started to break out in cold sweat. She would not be able to leave now. How was she going to explain her appearance here in the afternoon? Lin Chu’s face burned with embarrassment at the thought of her appearing and then sneaking away without so much as a word.

Lin Chu could only stop. She turned around to see Zuo Qiu with the delivery in his hands. He started to walk over as the young man glanced at her and then climbed onto his bike to leave.

“Miss Lin, are you here to see Master Yan?” Zuo Qiu smiled as he asked.

Lin Chu could only force herself to nod, and replied, “Yup. There’s a matter I need to see him about.”

“The timing is just right. Master Yan had also ordered takeaway. Miss Lin, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you?” Zuo Qiu smiled and held up the bag in his hands.

“Why is he only eating now?” Lin Chu could not help asking and forgot about her embarrassment.

It was now past lunchtime. She was stopped by Jiang Changdai when she had come out of the office of Lin Yi. After chatting with her at the café for a while and heading over here, it was close to 1 pm. Yet, he had only just ordered lunch.

“There’s quite a bit to handle this afternoon, so he had to work overtime for a while. But there’s not much to do in the afternoon,” Zuo Qiu replied honestly but added on the latter sentence after giving it some thought.

Lin Chu was a little muddled by his answer and did not immediately understand what he meant. But under the smiling gaze of Zuo Qiu, she had no choice but to follow him into Yan Hui.

Zuo Qiu knocked on the office door of Yan Beicheng. Yan Beicheng was still looking at the screen of his computer, too busy to even look up. He waited for Zuo Qiu to put down his takeaway but instead heard Lin Chu’s voice, “Stop looking at the screen and have your lunch. If you continue staring at it that way, you’ll be working your lunch hour away. Does that mean you will just skip your lunch?”

Yan Beicheng lifted his head in surprise and saw Lin Chu standing right in front of his office table.

He almost thought it was a hallucination because he was too tired from work. Zuo Qiu very knowingly closed the door behind him and left the two of them in the office.

While Lin Chu looked unhappy, Yan Beicheng looked overjoyed with a wide smile on his face. One could see the rows of his teeth with the smile. Paired with the bright sunlight shining in from the French window, it was so dazzling that Lin Chu could hardly keep her eyes open.

Yan Beicheng stood up immediately and held Lin Chu’s hands. He was very agitated over this.

He had previously used the excuse of working with Lin Yi to get Lin Chu to come over. Even then, she was always in business mode, it was impossible to get her to take the initiative to visit him here. He did not expect her to appear on her own.

Yan Beicheng unreservedly gave her a big kiss on the forehead. The sound of the kiss of so loud that it made Lin Chu’s ears go red.

“Quickly have your lunch.” Lin Chu’s fingers gently poked him in the chest.

Yan Beicheng wrapped her hands in his and looked at the time. He frowned and said, “Have you eaten?”

If she had come here after lunch, then she might have gulped down her food a little too fast.

At this moment, there were a few knocks on the office door. Zuo Qiu came in with another set of takeaway in his hands. “Master Yan, Miss Lin has not had her lunch yet, so I ordered extra.”

Lin Chu looked at him and felt apologetic, “You didn’t give me your portion of the food, did you?”

Zuo Qiu did not hide it from her and replied, “The takeaway would not arrive that fast if I ordered again. You can have this first, I’ll get order another one for myself later.”

Lin Chu would not consent. She could not let someone else go hungry for her sake. Lunch hour was about to end, and a new order of takeaway would never arrive on time.

Yan Beicheng then said to Zuo Qiu, “Let’s do this, call them and get a set of white rice. The restaurant’s white rice has been ready cooked, so they will be able to deliver it here if we offer some incentive. I’ve ordered quite a number of dishes, it’s enough for two.”

Zuo Qiu did not continue to insist. Before the white rice arrived, Yan Beicheng shared his portion with Lin Chu. Not long after, Zuo Qiu brought in a hot delivery of white rice.

“Here you are being unhappy with me and yet, you haven’t even started your lunch at this hour either,” Yan Beicheng frowned. He looked much more relaxed after Lin Chu had finished half of the rice.

Lin Chu was never a big eater and in addition to being angry over Jiang Changdai, she did not have much of an appetite. However, she was concerned over Yan Beicheng being worried about her, so she tried to eat as much as possible, which looked to be her usual portion.

After eating, she took some tissue out from the box to wipe her mouth as Yan Beicheng looked at her disapprovingly. She thought about Jiang Changdai’s words and felt the heartache that she could not repress. It ached even more now.

Yan Beicheng was still eating when he felt a soft touch around his waist. He lowered his head to see Lin Chu’s arms gently hugging him around the waist. The hug slowly turned tighter and she placed her face on his shoulders. He could feel her softness on his arms.

“What’s going on?” It was rare for Yan Beicheng to see her being so clingy. He liked it very much but felt a little strange about it at the same time.

Lin Chu shook her head as her forehead stuck on his shoulders. She did not care if he could feel it, “I just suddenly felt like hugging you this way.”

“How do you expect me to continue eating?” Yan Beicheng gave a small laugh. His words may sound like he was objecting but his left hand was already around her arms.

Lin Chu gave a little cunning smile and suddenly kick off her shoes. She stood on the sofa with her bare feet and moved behind him like he was about to piggy-back her. Both legs circled him while her hands hugged him around the waist from behind. Her face rested on his back.

Yan Beicheng felt a gentle softness on his back. She was leaning gently against him and he did not dare move at all.

After he was finished with all the food, he took some tissue to wipe his mouth before turning behind to pick up Lin Chu.

“What’s wrong with you this afternoon?” Yan Beicheng asked.

He was right, she came here for a reason.

He had thought about this when Lin Chu arrived. But she did not look like she had suffered any grievances. He did not have the chance to ask her about it as he was interrupted by her.

His voice was so gentle, coming from above her head. It was like he was afraid of frightening her, as if she would break from the noise if he were slightly louder.

Lin Chu’s heart ached even more for him after being treated so carefully by him. She rubbed her face in his arms and her fuzzy hair tickled him on the chin.

Yan Beicheng scratched helplessly at his chin and hugged her, “You’re acting exactly like Chu Xi.”

She was acting just like a little puppy looking to be consoled by its master after suffering some grievances.

Surprisingly, Lin Chu did not refute him, she did not even give him a gentle pinch.

After spending an amount of time with Lin Chu only did Yan Beicheng realize how much an open Lin Chu loved pinching people.

Whenever he teased her for fun, she did not take it seriously and while she did pinch him then, it was not a strong pinch. It did not hurt but it was ticklish.

However, when she got angry, she really did not bother if it hurt him. Like the last time when Lu Weining came to their house, she had pinched him real hard. He almost died from the pain of it.

Yan Beicheng started to feel anxious. He frowned as he placed Lin Chu on his lap. He lowered his head to look at her face properly.

Their noses were touching as he said in a low voice, “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

His voice had always had a nice ring to it, now that he spoke in a lower tone with the murmur close by her lips, it sounded so ridiculously sexy. It was pumped full of male hormones, which made her feel slightly better about things.

“I came over so late without having lunch because when I came out of the company, I was stopped by your mot… I was stopped by Miss Jiang,” Lin Chu could not bring herself to say the ‘M’ word. She felt that Jiang Changdai was not worthy of it, so she referred to her surname instead.

Yan Beicheng’s face fell, his face looked especially dark. If it was not for Lin Chu still holding on to him, he would have run out to confront that woman.

Lin Chu quickly said, “Don’t worry, she didn’t do anything to me. I was the one that said a lot of rude things to her.”

Yan Beicheng felt slightly better after hearing her words. His deep voice had a tinge of a smile in it, “Rude things?”

Lin Chu pressed her lips together. She knew Yan Beicheng was not mad, so she told him the whole story.

“I was so unhappy for you. She never did anything for you and had never so much as looked you. She even nearly lost you. She’s never done her duty as a mother. Yet, now she dares throw around her weight as a mother to order you which girl you should marry and which you shouldn’t? If she had really felt bad and suddenly wanted to fulfill her duties as a mother and criticize me, then I’ll just accept it. But she wants you to be with Lu Weining, claiming that Lu Weining is the one worthy of you. All because she wants to please that Lu…”

Lin Chu clenched her teeth. She could not bring herself to say the words ‘Lu Zhenting’. It was the same as saying that Jiang Changdai was Yan Beicheng’s mother. Both would dirty her mouth.

“How could there be a mother like her? I really can’t understand it, how could she do something like this to her own child? Which was why I…”

“Which was why you felt hurt on my behalf and came here to see me?” Yan Beicheng smiled.

Lin Chu stayed silent but did not refute him. She hugged him tighter with her hands.

She was not the kind of person to say nauseating, mushy words. Either she would say them when she was full to the brim with emotions, or if she had too much to drink and got overeager to share her inner thoughts without being stressed out about it.

“I acted rashly by coming here the moment I walked out of the café. Now I’m regretting just a little bit,” Lin Chu said red-faced. She buried her face in his chest, too embarrassed to look at anyone.

“What’s there to regret? I’m happy that you came to see me,” Yan Beicheng rubbed his nose against hers as he said. He gently breathed on her lips, which were warm and trembling. He got closer and closer, and his lips finally pressed on hers.

He tasted her lips and between her teeth. After a while, his thin, steaming lips continued caressing hers as he said, “Tastes sweet and sour.”

Lin Chu bit his lips as her face reddened, “There’s also sweet and spiciness in there.”

Yan Beicheng laughed gently as his throat and chest throbbed from it. Even his lips, where were pressed on hers, trembled slightly, “I’d really like you to visit me even if nothing is going on. No matter what I’m doing, if I’m in a meeting, or busy at work, no matter how busy I am, I won’t think of you as trouble. Knowing that you’re here to see me gives me the motivation to finish my work and get twice the result with half the effort. When I talked to Wei Zilin about getting you into Lin Yi, a part of the reason was that the job suited you, and also because you’d be close to me. I wanted you to be able to see me easily whenever you are thinking about me. Who knew I’d be waiting for nothing?”

It was like his words lit up a lightbulb in Lin Chu’s brain. Her head tilted back slightly as she looked up at him, “Which was why I ended up applying for Lin Yi. You are the one behind it?”

“…” Yan Beicheng looked away slightly and turned his gaze elsewhere. It was too obvious to play pretend.

Lin Chu let go of his waist and held his face back towards her with both hands, “That client of Moyan’s purposely alerted her about this, didn’t he?”

Yan Beicheng blinked and decided to brazenly hug her tight, “I knew you’d be unhappy about it from the start and think that I’m interfering too much. We’ve just got together then and you aren’t as close to me as you are now.”

Lin Chu could not help laughing at his slightly bitter tone. She gave his cheek a few squeezes between her palms, “Why’re you so quick to explain? I didn’t say I blamed you. Ever since I found out you were good friends with Wei Zilin, I kind of guessed what happened. Besides, I know myself pretty well. If it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have been hired by Lin Yi.”

Yan Beicheng narrowed his eyes and kissed her on her mouth before he said, “My future wife, you were hired because they have a good eye for talent. You are a person of capability.”

Lin Chu couldn’t help laughing, Yan Beicheng was blowing his own trumpet, thinking that everything of his was the best.

The moment she thought about herself being his as well, her face became redder.

Lin Chu suddenly remembered something and took out a check from her purse, “Oh right, she gave this to me. She wanted to use this money to chase me off. The money may not be much but since she’s already given it to me, there’s no reason to reject it. I’ll withdraw it from the bank later in case she changes her mind and cancels the check. I’ll treat this as compensation for emotional distress from this afternoon.”

Yan Beicheng was taken aback but couldn’t help laughing out loud. He gave her nose a gentle pinch.

If this was some other woman, she would probably tear up the check in front of Jiang Changdai to prove that there was true love between them and that their love was priceless; it could not be bought with money.

Who would act the way Lin Chu did? She accepted the check to spite Jiang Changdai and made her lose one million for nothing.

She was such a bad girl!

Watching her being bad, Yan Beicheng really wanted to say, he liked it!

As he watched Lin Chu, she had a look of mischief on her face, like a child who had just conducted a successful prank and was feeling proud of it. Yan Beicheng could not help it but lowered his face to own her lips, and his tongue traveled around in her mouth.

The two of them went to the bank immediately to collect the money and banked it into Lin Chu’s account.

“Treat it as pocket money she gave you,” said Yan Beicheng.

She knew Yan Beicheng would not want the money, so Lin Chu did not bother to mention anything about it but kept the money. She was planning to donate it to the orphanage.

When it was time to start work, Yan Beicheng personally drove her to Lin Yi’s entrance. It took less than five minutes to get from the bank to Lin Yi.

When he parked the car, Yan Beicheng reached out to rub Lin Chu’s head, “Thank you for loving me. The two elders at home love me too, but it’s a different feeling from your love.”

“I didn’t want to mention it in case you were unhappy. It was so unfair for you,” said Lin Chu.

It was unfair that Jiang Changdai chose to abandon him even though he was such a good son. Jiang Changdai would have lived a worry-free life, with nothing to be concerned about with Yan Beicheng by her side. All she had to do was enjoy time with her family.

From Lin Chu’s point of view, Yan Beicheng was the best in everything. It was blind of her to not see that.

Whoever capable of causing grievance to Yan Beicheng was undoubtedly a bad-hearted person!

Yan Beicheng smiled gently, “Don’t you worry about her. If she still hasn’t given up and continues to bug you, say whatever you’d like to say. Don’t stop yourself for any reason.”

He knew Lin Chu was holding back because Jiang Changdai was his mother. No matter what, she was still a mother.

Lin Chu nodded. Even if Yan Beicheng did mean it, she could not really be that unreserved. It was not right.

“You shouldn’t worry about me too. You know I can hold my own. She came looking for me but she ended up being the one who was angry at the end,” Lin Chu smiled and leaned over to kiss him.

Yan Beicheng pinched her gently. “That’s nonsense, weren’t you angry today too? Never get angry over something like this again. So many years have passed since then, I’ve lost that sense of grievance a long time ago. I may have hoped for something from her when I was younger, but it has since worn off me. It has been tens of years since I’ve first seen through her, I’ve felt indifferent about her for a long time. I’ve always known what kind of person she was. I’m no longer surprised at what she does nor would I feel sad about it.”

It was precisely because he was badly hurt that his hope had died. He was not numb to anything that involved Jiang Changdai.

Lin Chu felt terrible on his behalf. If it was not for Jiang Changdai going overboard with things, Yan Beicheng would not end up this way. How bad could one person be to have her son become numb towards his own mother?

The thought of Yan Beicheng’s experience, from not understanding things and trying his best to make his mother like him, to getting hurt and not comprehending why his mother disliked him so much, until the final numbness today. She did not dare imagine the emotional rollercoaster he had been through.

Yan Beicheng leaned towards her to hug her, “Stop overthinking things, I’m really okay. Look at you this way, on the other hand, is making me sad. Don’t make me worry, okay?”

Lin Chu nodded and gave him a smiled. She said goodbye to him and walked towards her office.

Jiang Changdai did not get to the bank in time. When she received notification from the bank telling her that her check had been cashed, her expression turned sour. She nearly smashed her phone.

To her, Lin Chu was a completely shameless person.

Back in the Yan family mansion, the two elders were not being lenient with Yan Zhiqing as she was about to take her entrance exams. Even though she was applying to a film school that did not require an excellent result but she still needed to pass to qualify as a student there.

This was why Old Lady Yan had pushed Yan Zhiqing into revising in her room.

Yan Zhiqing had no plans of studying in her room. She had placed her revision books and exercises on the table but her iPad was placed right below them. She played on her iPad cautiously. The moment she heard a slight noise behind her, she would immediately use her books and exercises to cover up the iPad.

She had put on a Korean drama and had just started watching it when her phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Changdai.

She had been waiting for this call today. When she left Lu Weining last night, she had immediately told Jiang Changdai about Lin Chu and took the opportunity to describe her in a negative light.

Jiang Changdai immediately promised to see Lin Chu personally this afternoon and see this person for herself.

Yan Zhiqing was very aware that Jiang Changdai had always wanted Lu Weining to marry Yan Beicheng. Lu Weining knew how to get into her good books, which was why she had always wanted Lu Weining married into the family.

She was unlike Lin Chu, every sentence from her mouth dripped with sarcasm. Does Lin Chu not know that she was Yan Beicheng’s sister? She should be trying her best to placate her.

“Mum, have you met Lin Chu?” Yan Zhiqing picked up the phone to ask.

Old Lady Yan was bringing in some fruits and snacks for Yan Zhiqing, in case she was too tired from studying.

Yan Zhiqing did not lock the door and Old Lady Yan had no habit of knocking the door in advance. Yan Huaian and Yan Beicheng were brought up in this house, and after that, it was Yan Ningbai. In the eyes of Old Lady Yan, no matter Yan Huaian, Yan Beicheng or Yan Ningbai, they were all just naughty little boys. She had never knocked on their doors when entering their bedrooms, and it was a habit that she did not change even after they were all grown up.

It was just the same when it came to Yan Zhiqing.

Yan Zhiqing’s iPad was still playing the Korean drama and her earphones were stuck in her ears. She did not hear the door being opened.

In the end, Old Lady Yan only managed to open a creak when she heard Yan Zhiqing’s words.

Old Lady Yan frowned. She was not in a hurry to go in, so she placed the tray in her hands on the ground gently and straightened herself up to listen.

“Mum, how was it? I told you before the Lin Chu was a good-for-nothing. She’s not worthy of my big brother.”

“…”

“That’s right!”

“…”

“What? How dare she say those words to you?! She’s not respecting you at all. She’s great at making the two elders happy at the old mansion, acting the part of a considerate granddaughter-in-law. She somehow managed to find out that the two elders do not like you at all, so she must have taken the opportunity to put you down and not give you any respect at all. She is so terrible!”

“…”

“You are right. No matter what, you are still my brother’s mother. You have every right to have a say in his matters.”

“…”

“I like Sister Lu too. Lin Chu can’t be compared to Sister Lu and is even less worthy of being with my brother.”

“…”

“I know, don’t worry, mum. But how are you planning to get rid of Lin Chu?”

Yan Zhiqing hung up before Old Lady Yan could find out about Jiang Changdai’s plans.

Old Lady Yan did not enter the room and quietly closed the door while Yan Zhiqing was watching her Korean drama and could not hear anything. She took the tray and went downstairs.

Old Master Yan had just walked over from the backyard and was holding a watering can. He spotted Old Lady Yan with the tray she had just brought up. The fruits and snacks did not seem to be touched. He asked curiously, “What’s going on? Zhiqing doesn’t want them?”

Old Lady Yan passed the tray to Aunt Chen and gave her the fruit and snacks.

Aunt Chen opened her mouth and was about to remind her that she was already given a tray.

But she saw that Old Lady Yan did not look very happy. She wondered what had happened upstairs with Yan Zhiqing that had made Old Lady Yan so angry. She did not hear any argument going on from downstairs at all.

So, she said nothing and took the tray away.

Old Lady Yan pulled on Old Master Yan’s arms. “Let’s go. We’ll talk in the house.”

They returned to their bedroom and Old Master Yan realized that he was still holding on to the watering can.

He pouted as he put the watering can aside. “Tell me, what’s going on?”

“Just now when I went upstairs to give Zhiqing something to eat, I overheard her mother calling her.” The image of Jiang Changdai’s face came to her mind as she said this, it was very annoying.

“And guess what? She went to see Lin Chu and had the gall to tell Lin Chu that she was not worthy of Beicheng. She asked her to leave him,” Old Lady Yan was so angry that her insides hurt.

Although Old Master Yan and Old Lady Yan often argued, now that he sensed something wrong with Old Lady Yan’s emotions, he quickly comforted her and helped her to the sofa.

“Don’t be so agitated. Even if you’re still healthy, you’re still quite a ripe old age. You need to take better care,” Old Master Yan said as he poured her a cup of hot tea.

Old Lady Yan took a sip and it warmed her mouth, the heat flowed down her esophagus and warmed her tummy. She felt much more at ease, and continued, “The most disgusting thing was, she was thinking about getting Beicheng to marry that girl from the Lu family. What is she dreaming about?! Our family didn’t even go after her for the things she did, and now she thinks we’re worth being bullied! We should have got her to pay with her life all those years ago with an accident. No one would have found out. But here she is, being insatiable!”

There was a flash of viciousness in Old Lady Yan’s eyes when she mentioned about paying with her life.

Even Old Master Yan was grim. One wondered if he, too, regretted not taking care of Jiang Changdai all those years ago.

“That is a disgusting relationship between her and Lu Zhenting. To make Lu Zhenting happy, she wants to marry his daughter to Yan Beicheng, how horrible is that? Lu Weining is a good girl? What good is there?! She can’t even compare to Lin Chu’s toe! What gave her the idea that she could go looking for Lin Chu? And she still has the gall to despise Lin Chu? She should think about what a disgusting human being she is first! I really… I really wish that I could tear her apart!” Old Lady Yan clenched her teeth.

Old Master Yan did not say a word. He let Old Lady Yan continued to vent.

“You have no idea how badly she educated Zhiqing. The way she speaks is terrible. What did Lin Chu even do to her? They’ve only just met once and she’s already bad-mouthing Lin Chu. Every minute, she’s calling out to this Sister Lu. Even she is siding with Lu Zhenting’s daughter. Like mother like daughter!”

When Old Lady Yan stopped talking breathlessly and looked like she was done with her venting, he hurriedly filled up her cup with tea again.

“Have you calmed down?” Old Master Yan asked slowly.

“…” Old Lady Yan glared at him and nodded.

Old Master Yan walked towards the bedside table and pulled open the lowest drawer. There was a stack of notebooks and some writing tools in there. He took out a phone book from the corner and found Jiang Changdai’s number.

“Give her a call and invite her over this Saturday. Get Beicheng and Huaian to come over with his family as well. Of course, invite Lin Chu over too. We’ll give Jiang Changdai a beatdown in front of them and Zhiqing and let her know her place. She looks down on Lin Chu, right? So, we’ll make her see that in our eyes, she can’t even compare to a hair on Lin Chu!” Old Master Yan narrowed eyes and said grimly.

Old Lady Yan thought about this and understood what he was trying to do. She patted Old Master Yan happily on the shoulder, “Well, old ginger is still spicier than most.”

Old Master Yan, “…”

‘You should take a look at your dehydrated old cucumber face, how could you say I am old?!’

Old Lady Yan was completely unaware of the slander in Old Master Yan’s mind and dialed the number on the phonebook.

Jiang Changdai was flattered upon receiving Old Lady Yan’s call.

Despite her wrongdoings, she had always hoped to gain the forgiveness of the two elders all these years.

As the reason for that was because of the guilt she felt. Besides that, there was another reason. She wanted to marry Lu Zhenting and display their relationship in the open.

She was very clear that since the death of Yan Beicheng’s father and her return to Ning City, she was unable to marry Lu Zhenting because of the Yan family’s doing.

She had tried to hate them but at the thought of how Yan Beicheng’s father died, she was so filled with guilt that she was unable to hate them.

No matter the reason, all she wanted was to reconcile with the Yan family and start a new life of her own.

In her excitement, she had not given a thought as to why the Yan family had suddenly changed their mind. She did not even link the reason to Lin Chu. She was so busy agreeing to the invite and promising to be on time that she did not notice the abruptness in Old Lady Yan’s voice.
