long time, "I did it."I've gotten used to there being no explanation."Lan... Lan Jie," Lin Tiantian cried as she scrambled to her feet, "If you hadn't come, I would have been beaten by Xiang Wan... b..."No thanks, I'm not into that." He nodded briefly, pushing Zhong Yu Xuan away who was almost getting close to his face.

"“……”Zhong Yuxuan decisively removed his gold-rimmed glasses, which had been pushed askew by him, and asked curiously: "First it was Mrs. Jiang, the Jiang siblings, then Mr. Jiang, they all came to find you, urging you to get married"

He frowned, not bothering to hide his dislike for the Jiang family's four members in front of him. "What else"

"I thought besides pressuring me to get married, they might say other things," Zhong Yuxuan said. "Like, for example, distancing themselves from Xiang Wan, or asking about your mom and your attitude towards Xiang Wan... that sort of thing."

He Hanchuan had lived for twenty-four years. Although he was not favored by Old Master He, he had never felt so humiliated before—

Being schemed against, one is unable to rectify the situation immediately and has to do things against their will under the other party's threats.

He raised his glass of red wine. The icy liquid slid down his throat, suppressing a fraction of the fire in his heart, "You guessed all these things, they said so."

"Harassing me for marriage and meddling in my affairs, the Jiang family is getting more and more presumptuous here!" Zhong Yuxuan pinched a pastry, sighing.

He snorted, but didn't answer.

"Hanchuan," Zhong Yuxuan shoved the last half of the pastry into his mouth and hesitated for a moment before asking, "You marrying Jiang Qingran, your stepmother..."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Don't you find it awkward"

The relationship between He's father, Jiang's mother, and Zhao Yu was quite complicated. Apart from the younger generation, it was common knowledge among people in their circle.

He's a notorious playboy, with women flocking around him like changing clothes. However, his mother is an exception to this rule.

The two had been childhood sweethearts. He father had wanted to marry her mother back then, but she found him too flirtatious with too many women. She ended up marrying his father instead, who was very insistent on pursuing her at the time.

If things ended here, that would be fine. Who hasn't had a fling in their youth

Congratulations to He's father, who, in a fit of anger, agreed to his grandfather's wishes and married Zhao Yu, a suitable match.

Meanwhile, Jiang's mother had been spoiled since she was a child. Even after her marriage to the Jiang family, when her father-in-law treated her with utmost kindness, if there was even one word that didn't please her, she would immediately go to He's father and complain.

Even on the night of He Fu's wedding to Zhao Yu, He Fu was called away by Jiang Mu's words and didn't come back all night. Since their marriage, there have been many similar incidents, or even worse ones.

Because of this, when Zhao Yu first came to live with the He family, she often quarreled with her father-in-law over it. They even argued several times to the point of considering divorce, but both the He and Zhao families opposed it.

As for Jiang's father, due to Jiang's mother's connections, the Jiang family received many benefits from the He Corporation. He simply turned a blind eye, as long as his children were alright.

He Hanchuan's long fingers lightly tapped the table, clenching and unclenching his fists slightly. He turned his head to look at him, countering: "Uncle Zhong lets that child outside be the CEO of the family corporation, while you, a prominent young master of the Zhong family, were once forced abroad. Aren't you bothered"

Silence.

After a while, Zhong Yu-xuan put on his glasses and chuckled softly, lowering his head slightly as he said, "I asked the wrong question. Just forget what I just said."

"I may have gone too far. I'm sorry." He Hanchuan rubbed his temples, his eyes deep and profound. "Being married into the He family, there are some things I can't control, just like you and I being born into the Zhong and He families, there are some things we can't control either."

The following is in response to Chung Yu-hsuan's previous question.

"Alright, let's not dwell on those unpleasant things. Come on, cheers!" Zhong Yuxuan raised his glass forward, a warm smile gracing his handsome face.

He bumped fists with Hanchuan, raising his glass. He didn't put it down until it was empty, then his dark gaze fell on the couple from the Xiang family moving through the crowd.

Zhong Yu Xuan followed his gaze and exclaimed, "Before Jiang's siblings came to look for you, they told Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang how Xiang Wan bullied them. I happened to bump into them with the maid. Guess what"

"All the mistakes are W向晚's, all the grievances are Qingran's, and all the justice belongs to Jiang Qi Feng." He Hanchuan's eyebrows were laced with a hint of sarcasm.

"That's a perfect summary!" Zhong Yuxuan clapped his hands and sighed, "The Xiang family couple are truly interesting, and then there's Jiang Shao…" He gave an ambiguous smile, "I wonder if he's really stupid or just pretending to be."

He didn't speak this time, and Jiang Qi Feng wasn't stupid either. He just trusted his sister too much.

Zhong Yuxuan poked him in the arm, "You look at your late father and stepmother as if they were nothing. You have a loving brother who cares for her, but he's useless! She's so pitiful, you should just stop."

"It's none of your business." He Hanchuan's eyes darkened slightly, and the frequency of his fingers tapping on the table increased.

Zhong Yuxuan tapped his hand on the table, lightly coughed, and said, “That little girl has been following you for so many years. You haven't had any deep grudges with her, how could you…”

"You're worrying about more and more things." He Hanchuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking before standing up, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket, his expression slightly stern.

Zhong Yuxuan hurriedly stood up, "Okay, okay, if you won't let it go, I won't say anything anymore, alright If it wasn't for my little girl dragging me to plead with you, who would want to get involved in your and Xiang Wan's messy affairs"

He shoved the present into Keqing's arms, "Here, make sure you get it to Xiangling's hands! Otherwise my little girl will come pestering me again! I'm off!"

After saying that, he just got up and walked away.

He glanced at the gift box in his hand, threw it casually onto the table, and walked forward. But after a few steps, he turned back and left with the gift.

After spending over an hour with Liu's aunt, A-Wan left when the latter gave her reminders like "Come eat noodles here whenever you have time" and "I'll introduce my nephew to you if you have a chance."

"Wanwan, your parents haven't come home yet, aren't you going to see the two children" Lin Nalu felt that Xiang Wan was too depressed now, her eyes were devoid of light, perhaps seeing the two children would make her feel better.

向晚 hung her head low, the streetlights and building shadows by the roadside flitted across her face like lightning. She remained silent for a long while, then in Lina's expectant gaze, shook her head.

“Out of sight, out of mind!” Xiang Yu didn't understand his wife's meaning at all, with a look of disdain on his face, but his eyes couldn't hide the doting. "Those two siblings could drive anyone crazy. If they weren't my children, I would have beaten them up long ago!"

Lin Nalu glared at him.

Xiangyu felt wronged, “Wanwan dressed so beautifully today, if she hugged those siblings, what if they peed on her It’s not like we can see them every day.”

"Wanwan, are you tired today" Lin Nalu ignored her husband and whispered softly to Xiang Wan: "Why don't you go see those siblings when Mom and Dad aren't home another day"
