Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 67 The Yan Family
Even someone as enviable and perfect as Ms. Xiang, whom everyone in the compound admires, has a side of sorrow that no one knows about.

Just like the four cardinal directions of her home, and her good children!
They're all getting older, but none of them are willing to get married!

Why is her marriage with her father unhappy? Shouldn't that give them hope for a beautiful love and a happy marriage?

If it were true, that would be fine, but clearly, they are even more loving and happy after having children!

What is it about these kids that makes them all so resistant to and disgusted with marriage?

Yan Family Members: Ms. Xiang, you have no idea about the outrageous things your husbands have done!
Yan Ziyu, who studied abroad and earned a doctorate, is different from other roughnecks who only know how to fight. She is a cunning old fox with considerable fighting skills but who likes to use underhanded tactics. This is almost a consensus among everyone in the regiment!
Just like that young lady who "couldn't judge a book by its cover" and was deceived for thirty years, how many people regretted that such a beautiful flower could have fallen for that cunning fox!
Those from all directions who witnessed the harm early on, though they always complained behind their father's back about his various inhumane behaviors.

But isn't it also a result of being deeply influenced by their parents' love: better to have nothing than something bad?

My other half is my true love; children are all accidents! I don't care about compatibility or carrying on the family line; I only seek a soulmate with whom I share a deep connection, both physically and mentally.

"Beibei, Beibei? Yanbei! Mom's talking to you, why are you daydreaming?"

Looking at her youngest son, who had been outstanding since childhood and was the most independent and aloof, Xiang Mingyu felt her heart, like an old mother, was about to be soaked in bitterness!

She grabbed his hand and shook him back to his senses before continuing to persuade him, "Did you hear what your mother said? Since you're back this time, how about we get to know that girl and have her meet her?"

"Ms. Xiang, if your eldest and second brothers' marriages aren't enough to worry you, there's also your eldest sister. Shall we put that aside for now?"

"Well, you little brat Yan Xiaoqi! What kind of talk is that!"

It's definitely a case of "better you than me."

Yanxi had just entered the gate and overheard everything. Before he could even put down what he was holding, Yanxi pointed at him and started yelling at him.

"What a waste of how much your older sister loves you! Have you forgotten that when you wet the bed as a child, I was the one who washed your sheets and took the blame? Have you forgotten that when the Demon King Yan punished you with solitary confinement, I was the one who climbed through the window to bring you food? Have you forgotten…"

"Sister, stop talking, I was wrong!"

If she keeps talking, all of his few dark secrets will be exposed.

Yan Bei pressed his throbbing temples: Well, one wasn't enough, another one has arrived.

I wonder when the two good brothers who drew the fire will be able to come back?

"Humph!"

Yanxi, who was two hours older than Yanbei, was unlike his aloofness. She was a bold, straightforward, and charismatic woman who was known as the "Big Sister" in the compound.

The twins grew up together. Yanxi, the older sister, got into countless fights because of her unsociable personality and her strikingly beautiful face.

In the compound, there was no one who was the same age as them who hadn't been hit by her iron hammer. No matter how naughty or stubborn the boy was, which one of them didn't tremble at the mere mention of Yan Xiaomo Nu's name?
All of their formidable reputations were earned by fighting for their underlings!

So much so that she couldn't even find a childhood sweetheart to ride, just like her mother, Ms. Xiang.

So who can she blame for still being single? Can we blame her?
She was her younger brother whom she had protected since childhood. Even though he grew taller and stronger than her, protecting him had become an instinct.

So, after not seeing him for so long, how can I still be angry with him?

Yanxi put down the bags he was carrying, pretended to be annoyed, and pressed his fist on the top of his head before he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back this time?"

"I was injured in an accident, and my teacher told me to rest and recover before going back to work."

With Fu Jiaming's big mouth, there was no way to hide it from him, so Yanbei simply chose to tell the truth, which would only make his family worry again.

Sure enough, both women present became nervous when they heard him say he was injured.

Especially Ms. Xiang, who is a mother, was so busy introducing potential partners to her son when he came home that she completely forgot to care about him!

With eyes full of self-reproach and worry, Xiang Mingyu took a few steps to him, hesitant to touch him, and asked repeatedly, "Where are you hurt? How did you get hurt? Is it serious? Let's go to the hospital for a check-up right now!"

Yanxi instantly withdrew her fist from above his head, circled him several times, but couldn't see where the injury was. "Let's listen to Mom and go to the J District Hospital to get it checked out!"

"Which hospital? Who's injured? Xiao Qi?"

"Dad, Mom." "Grandpa, Grandma."

Grandpa Yan waved his hand, looking at his youngest grandson with worry in his eyes, "Where did Xiao Qi get hurt?"

"What are you waiting for? Take Xiaoqi to the hospital right away!" "It's just a fracture. It's been set at the hospital and it's nothing serious. She'll be fine after some rest, so don't worry."

Yan Bei quickly spoke up to stop his family members who were about to grab his hands, and briefly explained the cause and course of events.

He himself did not notice that when Su Ning was mentioned, his eyes would light up just by mentioning her name.

The three elders immediately sensed the different meaning in his words and exchanged glances: Something's up!
"Oh, I see~"

Xiang Mingyu received a nod from her in-laws and sat down beside them without making a sound.

"So, does that mean this young lady named Su Ning is currently in Shanghai?"

"Yes, we'll go back to Hunan together in a few days after she's finished with her work."

"My son, that's where you're wrong!"

Meeting his questioning gaze, Xiang Mingyu said reproachfully, "That young girl saved you in such a dangerous and urgent moment and got injured herself, didn't she?"

Thinking of the boulder that fell from the sky that day, thinking of her desperate push, how he broke two ribs, she suffered a mild concussion from the impact, and how her back was covered in thorns.

Yan Bei nodded without hesitation, "If it weren't for her, I probably would have been in grave danger that day."

"That's it. Someone saved your life and came to an unfamiliar place on a business trip. How could you treat your savior like this, just leaving him at a hotel and abandoning him?"

"..."

My intuition tells me something's wrong, but I just can't refute it.

Therefore, he chose to bow his head and obediently accept the scolding.

"Look how big our house is, with plenty of rooms. Why can't we bring her back so we can properly thank and entertain her?"

"During the day, when she's on a mission, Xiao Li can drive her around. In the evening, she can eat and rest at home. He doesn't have to worry about her getting lost and he can ensure the girl's safety."

We've done our best; it's a win-win situation, don't you think?

"Yes, so?"

So? So what, so?
Xiang Mingyu felt an urge to beat her son, just like her husband had done.

He's clearly very bright; those formulas and algorithms that make her dizzy are a piece of cake for him. So why is he so clueless when it comes to interpersonal relationships and social graces?
Exhausted, she patted his hand and softly reminded Mingyu, "When do you think we should bring her home?"

"It's not dinner time yet, what are you looking at? Let's bring them over now so Sister-in-law Quan can prepare a proper meal. A life-saving favor like this deserves to be treated with utmost care. What else is there to discuss?"

The old man interrupted the two, looking at his grandson with a serious expression. "Our Yan family has always been clear about right and wrong. Is your life only worth a perfunctory thank you? Nonsense! Right now, bring him home properly!"

"I'll go with you! The young lady is shy, and you, with your foul face and cold mouth, probably won't say anything pleasant. I'll have to go. Grandpa, you wait and see, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Yanxi saluted his grandfather, then turned to his grandfather and urged eagerly, "Let's go, Yan Xiaoqi!"

Even after leaving home and getting into the car, Yan Bei was still a little confused: How did things suddenly turn out like this?

However, upon closer reflection, what Ms. Xiang and Grandpa said made a lot of sense. I had indeed not handled things very well, and I should have invited the person home.

I finally realized that besides the reason my family had mentioned, there was also a vague, indescribable joy and excitement deep inside me.

Although Yan Bei did not understand, he did not choose to escape or ignore it, but began to face it and think about it.

He seems to be interested in Suning?

"Young man, let me tell you, in ancient times, you'd have to offer yourself in marriage for something like this..."

boom--

As Yanxi spoke, the fog in my mind seemed to be blown away in an instant.

My heart was beating faster than it had been the previous two times, out of control.

So this is what it means to have your heart flutter.
