Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Men? They Just Love to Lower Themselves (Fifth Update)

"Why?" Zhu Qianying decided to continue with the previous line of conversation.

Eldest Young Master Yan hadn’t noticed anything unusual yet, "Her temperament is indeed somewhat stubborn, but she’s not a bad person, and she probably doesn’t mean any harm to you. After I scolded her, she realized she was wrong and even said she would invite you for a meal to apologize."

Zhu Qianying sneered in her heart, I don’t want to be friends with her, why should I care if she means me harm or not! As for eating, I’d rather not. I fear I might be poisoned!

"Wow, that’s powerful!" Zhu Qianying remarked again.

But what was so powerful about this? At this moment, she couldn’t help but want to throw the whole bowl of white porridge in Eldest Young Master Yan’s face.

After hearing Zhu Qianying’s insincere praise, Eldest Young Master Yan finally sensed that something was off. He furrowed his brows, reached out wanting to touch Zhu Qianying’s forehead, but she evaded his touch.

"Ying’er, are you feeling unwell?" He asked with a look of concern.

Zhu Qianying shook her head. His question didn’t seem to fit into the three-line pattern of conversation she had been using.

Besides those three perfunctory sentences, she didn’t want to say anything to him.

Or maybe, she did have something to say, which was, "Get lost!"

Seeing that he couldn’t get anything substantial out of her, Eldest Young Master Yan was at a loss for words.

When he fell silent, Zhu Qianying didn’t bother to make small talk. In fact, she was quite pleased with the peace and quiet.

She quietly ate her breakfast. After finishing, she urged Eldest Young Master Yan to leave promptly.

Today was not a weekend, so Eldest Young Master Yan naturally had to go to work. His phone, set to vibrate, was haphazardly placed on the dining table. It had buzzed countless times just now, but he never checked it, letting it shudder repeatedly as if possessed.

Having changed his shoes and ready to leave, Eldest Young Master Yan asked Zhu Qianying from the entrance hall.

"Ying’er, can I come over for dinner tonight?"

If it were the old days, Eldest Young Master Yan would have just shown up without a prior announcement. After all, it’s just a meal, no one would make a fuss and ask him to leave.

But in these sensitive times, he seemed to tread more carefully.

"Some other time, not in the mood!" Zhu Qianying was too lazy to entertain him.

Eldest Young Master Yan gave her a long look, silently left the house. However, his mind was busy planning. He decided that he would leave work early in the afternoon, go home to pick his baby boy, then deliver him to Zhu Qianying’s place. By doing so, that would give him the perfect excuse to stay for dinner...

...

Apropos the night before, after receiving a sound scolding from Yan Han in the car, Yi Wei did not dare to refute him. After all, she knew it clearly that the current state of her relationship with Yan Han was glass-thin. It couldn’t bear any mishap. The slightest mistake could topple everything!

After being dropped off at the Yi Family estate by Yan Han, Yi Wei, who had suppressed a belly full of anger, immediately dialed a number. Around ten to twenty minutes later, a man in his thirties arrived at the Yi Family residence. The servant seemed to know him quite well. After respectfully greeting him, they led him to the living room on the second floor.

Yi Wei was currently sprawled on the sofa with a can of beer, watching a gunfight movie. The deafening sound of gunshots echoed throughout the living room.

The man furrowed his brows slightly, walked over, picked up the remote control from the coffee table, and turned down the volume. He glanced at the screen, which displayed a scene of bloody disorder.

"What’s wrong? Who has upset you again?"

The man casually tossed the remote control aside and sat down next to Yi Wei.

"Zhu Qianying!"

Yi Wei gritted her teeth and with a strong squeeze, the can in her hand was instantly crumpled. With a ’whoosh’, she flung it out with all her might.

"What has she done to upset you now?"

The man asked nonchalantly. He leaned over, reached for the coffee table, grabbed two cans of beer, opened the ring pulls, handed one to her, and held one himself. He then turned to look at her, ready to listen.

"Ever since she came back, Brother Han doesn’t even show up for my father’s birthday party. He just sent Qin Xiu with a big gift. You don’t know how embarrassed my father was! Also, wasn’t I supposed to go back to Capital City for a check-up last week? He used to accompany me there every year, but last week, he switched off his phone when I called him. I went to his company to find him, but everyone said he was on a business trip, yet no one could tell where he went!"

She was overflowing with grievances and complaints. The man quietly listened, silently sipping his beer.

After she had repeated similar complaints a few times, the man responded.

"What are you worried about? Isn’t a man’s nature to cherish what he can’t obtain? Just like when it was you in the past, he couldn’t have you and so, to him, you were the best. Now, Zhu Qianying is the best in his eyes. So don’t make a fuss about it, try to hold yourself to a higher standard and see what his next move is!"

The man’s words seemed sensible, but Yi Wei was unable to remain calm and observe the situation.

"But didn’t Zhu Qianying give birth to a son for him? Just for that reason alone, I already feel like I have no chance of winning."

What really unnerved Yi Wei was not Zhu Qianying herself, but that arrogant little young master who disrespected everyone.

The man snorted in laughter, "Aren’t all men just breeding horses? A son is just a son. Can’t it be born with someone else? There’s no need for you to worry about that. From what I’ve seen, his son doesn’t seem to like him very much. Who knows how long Young Master Yan can tolerate that bratty kid?"

The man’s words left Yi Wei skeptical.

"Is it really like that?"

The man shook his can of beer, "I am a man myself, won’t I understand? No matter how great a man is, at a certain point in time, he is just a primitive animal that thinks with his lower half!"

Yi Wei kept her head down, holding the can of beer in her mouth. She was deep in thought for a long while before she looked up at the man.

"You mean to say..."

The man nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly what I mean."

Yi Wei was startled for a moment, after a while she said, "That’s a bit difficult, isn’t it..."

The man curled his lips into a smirk.

"How difficult can it be? Don’t worry, I will help you arrange everything. You just have to take care of yourself for now. Look at you, you’re not even thirty yet, and there are already fine lines around your eyes. Men are not only primitive animals, but also visual creatures! Zhu Qianying is younger than you and no less attractive. If you don’t start taking care of yourself, you will lose to her just based on your face and figure."

Upon hearing this, Yi Wei immediately put down the beer can, brushed her hair and looked at the man anxiously, "Is it really that serious? Should I book a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow to take care of it?"

The man rolled his eyes, "For someone like Young Master Yan, what kind of goods hasn’t he seen before? He probably can’t stand anything fake the most. Therefore, save it. For these few days, just eat, sleep well, and visit the previous clubhouse for a few rounds of full-body care. I guess, then there should be no problems."
