Chapter 1365 - 267: Waiting for the Show, Lying Low and Biding One’s Time (Part 1)
Lv Peng exclaimed: "Master Hui, you mustn’t."
This Yan Nanmo is still in office, yet Master Hui dares to mess with his daughter-in-law. Yan Song is no pushover, and Yan Nanmo even less so. Even with the Dongfang Family backing him, Master Hui is digging his own grave by doing this.
Guo Sheng bumped into him, pushing Lv Peng aside, and leaned in close to Hui Yingzhe, whispering: "Rest assured, Master Hui, I’m curious to see what kind of beauty it is that has enchanted you so..."
Hui Yingzhe gave him a sharp glare: "She’s mine, don’t you dare make any moves on her."
Guo Sheng chuckled slyly, his eyes glinting in a way that made his teeth appear even whiter: "Of course not..."
Lv Peng sighed, realizing he couldn’t persuade him.
Outside the door, a man sneered and turned to leave.
On the way back, Yan Ke laughed heartily: "Brother, you’re amazing. Look how scared that little spineless idiot was, daring to have designs on Sister Yun Ya. Doesn’t he see what he looks like? He’s not even fit to carry Sister Yun Ya’s shoes." He frowned: "Where did this turtle come from anyway? I’ve never seen him before."
Zhuang Jingmo looked at Yun Ya with concern and sighed: "His name is Hui Yingzhe, the youngest son of Dongfang Yi’s uncle. Riding on the rising influence of the Dongfang Family, the Hui family’s status has risen too. Hui Yingzhe is a complete wastrel, into brawling, racing, and bullying women. He studied abroad before and has just returned. No woman he’s set his eyes on has ever escaped..."
"Ha... well, this time he kicked the iron plate." Yan Ke said, his tone mocking.
Ruan Songxi smiled and said: "Alright, let’s not dwell on these unpleasant people and matters. I’ll be staying in Capital City for a few days and want to go out and have some fun. Who will be my guide?"
Zhuang Jingmo and Yan Ke both fell silent. Being a guide is a tiring job, nothing could make them go.
"Cousin always spoils you guys, and you really let him down..." Ruan Songxi sighed dramatically.
Yan Song tightened his lips, his expression cold, holding Yun Ya’s hand in his palm. Yun Ya scratched his palm lightly with her finger, Yan Song glanced sideways at her, and Yun Ya leaned in with a grin: "Let’s accompany cousin, I also want to explore Capital City."
Ruan Songxi’s eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law is the best, unlike you two, heartless ingrates...."
Yan Song never refused Yun Ya’s requests, he nodded: "Alright."
"Then I’ll join in for the fun too, or else Cousin, you’d be too bright a light bulb, I’m afraid you can’t hold it." Yan Ke said with a cheeky grin.
Zhuang Jingmo quickly added: "I’ll go too, I’ll go too. I grew up here and can find my way home with my eyes closed. No one knows this city better than I do, I’ll be your guide." Being the only daughter at home, she longed for siblings. Being with them gave her a joy that was different from being with friends.
Ruan Songxi’s face turned dark instantly: "You’re all traitors...." Despite the annoyance, his eyes were filled with a doting smile.
The car was filled with laughter and joy.
Back home, as expected, they were asked where they went to play. Ruan Songxi said they just went out for a walk, and the adults said no more. Everyone sat down to a bountiful lunch.
The meal was joyful and harmonious, this was a true family feast, allowing Yun Ya to experience a sense of warmth she never felt at the Yun or Yan Families, a sense of real familial warmth.
During the meal, Zhuang Xiyue kept putting food into her bowl until it piled up like a mountain. Yun Ya said helplessly: "Aunt Zhuang, I can’t eat anymore."
Zhuang Xiyue smiled, "You’re too skinny, eat more, be good, eat it all."
Zhuang Jingmo looked at Yun Ya enviously, wishing her future mother-in-law would be as kind to her as her aunt was to Yun Ya.
But not everyone is Yun Ya, nor does everyone have the luck to meet such a good mother-in-law as her aunt.
Zhuang Fanxing smiled and said: "This child is indeed too skinny, listen to your Aunt Zhuang."
Yan Song picked out all the green onions, ginger, and garlic from Yun Ya’s bowl, then transferred the green peppers, which Yun Ya disliked, into his own bowl in front of everyone, all done openly, and then placed the bowl back in front of Yun Ya.
"If you can’t finish it, leave it, don’t overeat."
Zhuang Xiyue glared at him, and the old lady laughed heartily.
Yun Ya smiled and lowered her head. Here were Brother Yan’s true family members.
After the meal, Huo Rendong said to Zhuang Jingmo: "Mo’er, take Yun Ya to your room to rest."
