Chapter 136 Curiosity is the beginning of attraction
Port city.
The day after tomorrow, in the morning.
Yu Xin'er: "Has Lan'er not returned yet?"
The auntie respectfully replied, "Not yet. The housekeeper said that Miss Lan will be staying in Yancheng for a while longer."
“She’s not in good health, yet she keeps running around.” Yu Xin’er couldn’t help but look worried as she said this.
As a mother, I can't help but worry about my children.
In particular, Yanlan was sickly and weak from birth.
"what happened?"
As soon as Yan Xu came downstairs, he saw Yu Xin'er looking worried and distressed.
Yu Xin'er rolled her eyes at Yan Xu, "You're asking me what's wrong? You don't care about your own daughter at all."
Yan Xu frowned: "I'm not a doctor, what can I do?"
He was aware of his daughter's health, of course, but he wasn't Hua Tuo reincarnated, capable of miraculous cures.
In this situation, the only option is to pay for the best medical team to treat Yanlan's heart disease.
A local voice, seemingly carefree and unassuming, called out, "My sister hasn't come back yet?"
Yu Xin'er looked at her son, who had just sat down to eat breakfast, and said speechlessly, "Where have you been gallivanting off to these past two days?"
Yan Xiang ate a sandwich and said, "Mom, what are you saying? Do you think I'd commit a crime outside?"
Yu Xin'er immediately became furious: "Haven't you made enough stupid mistakes before?"
Yan Xiang said somewhat impatiently, "I'm already so old, just leave me alone."
“That means your son is an adult, why are you still bothering with him?” Father Yanxu couldn’t help but speak up for his son.
Yu Xin'er sneered: "I know you two, father and son, are both womanizers."
"That's why the old patriarch doesn't like you."
Yan Xu's expression turned slightly gloomy: "I am his own son."
"What's the use?" Yu Xin'er poured cold water on him, saying, "Who doesn't know that the old patriarch is currently training Yan Nan from Yancheng?"
Yan Xiang interjected, "I think Grandpa is just getting senile. Raising a collateral descendant might just result in raising an ungrateful wretch."
At this point, he harbored deep resentment.
She harbored deep resentment towards Yan Nan.
Yanxu snorted coldly: "Father's health is failing. Once he's gone, who knows who will be in charge!"
Yu Xin'er disagreed: "He is your father, you can't curse him like that."
“He doesn’t treat me like a son.”
Yanxu was scolded by his father from childhood to adulthood, and he would be punished according to family rules if he misbehaved in any way.
Even so, in Old Man Yan's eyes, his son Yan Xu was still utterly hopeless.
Yu Xin'er didn't know what to say.
Her husband is definitely not cut out for business.
Neither can my son.
It's all about eating, drinking, having fun, chasing girls, and drinking.
Only Lan'er is a little better; she's smart and clear-headed.
It's a pity it's a girl.
This is something that Elder Yan also regretted.
If Yanlan were a boy, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the family fortune to be handed over to her.
Just then, Yan Xiang's eyes darted around. As if remembering something, he suddenly asked, "Does Father know about Mr. Chen's visit to Hong Kong before?"
Yan Xu paused for a moment, then asked, "Which Mr. Chen are you referring to, Chen Xiao, the leader of the Jingzhou Alliance?"
Yan Xiang nodded: "It was him. He came to the port city to participate in the robot exhibition that time."
Yanxu was a little angry: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Isn't that all in the past?" Chen Xiao only stayed in Hong Kong for less than two days before returning home, not giving those people a chance to curry favor.
Yanxu knew his son's character: "You didn't try to curry favor with him?"
Yan honestly replied, "I flattered him, so I gave him two girls."
As soon as he said it, Yan Xu glared at Yan Xiang: "Idiot, how can you fawn like that?"
Everyone knows that this gentleman has always been averse to women.
"And then?" Yu Xin'er asked.
Yan Xiang was somewhat unhappy: "Later, he didn't want them and even had his bodyguards throw those two girls out."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"You unfilial son!" he said, getting up to beat Yan Xiang.
Yan Xiang immediately shouted, "I'm currying favor with him for the sake of my family!"
"Do you think you can just curry favor with someone like that?"
The more Yanxu looked at his son, Yanxu, he became increasingly angry.
Yan Xiang: "Don't be angry. I brought him up mainly to tell you something. At the exhibition, I saw Chen Xiao making a video call with a woman. I guess she's Chen Xiao's kept woman."
Yan Xu hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure?"
Yan Xiang: "I'm very sure, I've found the person." He said this with a hint of pride.
Yu Xin'er asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"Coincidentally, that woman's surname was also Yan."
Yan Xiang took out the photo.
"Take a look."
Yan Xu looked down.
He had met Chen Xiao before.
He was somewhat surprised when he saw the photo of Chen Xiao being intimate with a woman: "I didn't expect it to be true."
The photos were all taken candidly.
But she's undeniably beautiful.
Yu Xin'er was immediately drawn to the girl in the photo.
"This girl is really pretty."
An aunt nearby joined in the fun. She leaned close to Yu Xin'er, her gaze falling on the photo. "She is indeed quite pretty. If you look closely, her eyebrows and eyes resemble Madam's!"
Yu Xin'er didn't think much of it. She exclaimed, "Your amber eyes do look quite like yours." She was referring to Yan Xu.
Yan Xu was taken aback.
He also had amber eyes.
He inherited it from his deceased mother.
Yan Xiang, as Yan Xu's son, also had a pair of amber eyes.
Only Yanlan did not inherit it at birth.
Yu Xin'er didn't think much of it, only that her daughter might have taken after her.
But for some reason, Yu Xiner felt a sense of familiarity with the girl in the photo.
For some reason, I have a feeling that we've known each other for a very long time.
But she clearly had never seen this girl before!
Yan Xiang scoffed, "Is she prettier than my sister?"
Yu Xin'er sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Of course your sister is beautiful." But they're clearly not the same style!
Yan Xu pondered for a moment: "We could try to curry favor with Chen Xiao by using this woman."
Yan Xiang nodded: "That's exactly what I'm thinking. As long as I can get this woman on board, I'll have a chance to get on Chen Xiao's bandwagon."
"It's just a canary, does it really have that much charm?" Yanxu expressed his doubt.
Yan Xiang: "Why don't we try and see?"
-
Yanting was naturally unaware that someone else had designs on her.
But just now she found out who the person who sent the flowers was.
It is Sheng Yuanze.
When Yanting learned it was him, his face showed disgust and wariness.
For example, right now.
Sheng Yuanze stopped her: "I would like to invite Miss Yan to dinner. Would Miss Yan do me the honor of joining me?"
To this, Yan Ting had only one word: "Get out."
Faced with Yan Ting's cold words, Sheng Yuanze was not annoyed but smiled slightly.
"I know you might be worried about your boyfriend, Miss Yan, but who says you can only have one boyfriend, especially a beautiful lady like you? Miss Yan, am I right?"
"?"
Yanting was shocked.
She had never seen such a shameless man.
Sheng Yuanze smiled gently: "What he can give you, I can give you too, such as wealth, resources, and other things."
The Sheng family made their fortune in luxury goods, so their wealth is undeniable.
Yan Ting's expression and tone were indifferent: "No need."
"I don't like being given charity; I only like what I earn myself."
Sheng Yuanze sighed slightly, "I'm starting to admire you, Miss Yan."
"Didn't you like the flowers I sent you before?"
“I don’t like it,” Yanting sneered. “Because it smells terrible.”
"..."
Sheng Yuanze was invincible in matters of love.
This was the first time he had ever been rejected by a woman.
Watching Yanting leave without looking back.
His competitive spirit was suddenly ignited.
Just then, a mocking laugh suddenly rang out.
Sheng Yuanze looked up and, as expected, saw Qi Yang sitting in the car.
He said with a hint of amusement, "How does it feel to be disliked, Mr. Sheng?"
However, Sheng Yuanze just smiled and said, "She probably hates you more than I do, doesn't she?"
Qi Yang's gaze turned cold as he stared at the other person.
Sheng Yuanze's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle tone, "After all, no one likes a man with violent tendencies, don't you think?"
"I don't care whether she likes it or not," Qi Yang sneered.
He loathed women, and he didn't care whether Yanting loathed him or liked him.
In his eyes, Yanting was just a lamb to the slaughter.
"Is that so?" Sheng Yuanze narrowed his peach blossom eyes. "I hope your thoughts won't change in the future."
The moment a man becomes curious about a woman is the beginning of his attraction.
