Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 154 Mianmian: Admitting Defeat Means Losing Half the Battle

"Oppa, did I do something wrong? Did I offend Wonyoung? Does she hate me?"

Chen Shijun pushed open the double soundproof door. The renovation of this apartment was nearing completion. The shoe-changing area in the entrance hall was covered with teak flooring that was as smooth as a mirror. It could be said that a lot of money had been spent on it, and it probably wouldn't be rented out in the future.

"I'm really sorry that Xiaoyuan heard us talking, but she's a sensible child and very kind."

Chen Shijun seemed to have no doubts at all, and kept emphasizing Yuan Ying's good qualities, while also slightly tightening his grip on Mei Yan's hand.

"Is she kind?"

The woman cursed inwardly, "No way! What kind of kind girl would do such a thing? Zhang Yuanying must be a very formidable person."

Moreover, after carefully examining the GIF, although Sakura might be suspected of extortion, Zhang Yuanying's impatient expression and words clearly indicated he was being rude.

Even Sakura, who was equally formidable and renowned throughout Asia, and whose enemies always met with terrible misfortune, was bullied by her. So, bullying herself would be a piece of cake for her.

She might bully all eleven of the older members in the group, taking advantage of her relationship with Chen Shijun. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished by her.

But Chen Shijun had a kind of "pure and innocent" filter, believing that his sister couldn't possibly be a bad person. So, was he the bad person? It seemed that gossiping was indeed not something a good person should do.

"Oppa, you won't be upset that I said something inappropriate, will you? I was just concerned about you."

Ultimately, he was still somewhat in the wrong, but his mind was already made up. As long as he firmly bound himself to Chen Shijun, he could resist Zhang Yuanying's disgust to some extent.

Chen Shijun noticed the unease in this woman's heart, reached out and pulled her closer to him, comforting her while looking around at the furnishings in the room.

As my fingertips brushed against the smart panel in the corner of the wall, the lights in the whole room gradually lit up like star trails, a warm yellow light that I quite like.

"You'll be living here from now on. I'll come to see you often. If you need anything, just bring it in here."

Chen Shijun wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head, his gaze fixed on the window where the newly bought coffee machine was still in its packaging.

"When oppa comes to visit me, I'll cook for him."

The open kitchen resembled a perfectly cut marble slab, and Mei Yan gazed at the gleaming countertop, where the built-in refrigerator was enormous.

"I will definitely come then, and I will definitely enjoy the beautiful scenery."

Chen Shijun's words were clearly loaded with meaning, but after all, they were an old married couple. Mei Yan was quite young when she got together with him, and although she would still blush, she wasn't particularly embarrassed.

"How can you say that? But enjoy it if you want. It's just that I'm the one who's being bullied, not only by you, but also by your sister."

Mianmian had a long face, as if she were a pitiful woman being bullied by her sister-in-law while her husband was busy taking sides.

“She contacted me and said she’ll kick me out sooner or later. Oppa, you can’t listen to her.”

After much thought, he decided to tell Chen Shijun about his worries to show his honesty. He also said that in order to withstand this crisis, he must cling tightly to Chen Shijun's coattails.

"Haven't I told you many times? As long as you behave, I won't let you leave even if you want to."

Chen Shijun felt that he had deep feelings for this woman, as did Zheng Encai, perhaps it was a kind of self-hypnosis.

The hope was to convince him that he wasn't a cold-blooded animal, but rather a bit too calm.

"Xiaoyuan was just joking with you. How could she really punish you? You're her senior, and you're so much older than her."

She suddenly stopped talking. Even if Zhao Meiyan, who was a few years older, was more than ten years older than Zheng Encai, Xiaoyuan would still fight to the bitter end. But she definitely couldn't say this in front of Mianmian, otherwise it would cause panic. She didn't have Zheng Encai's skills; even ten years of training wouldn't change that kind of personality.

Chen Shijun had used up all the decisiveness and courage he had in his life on breaking up with himself, and he didn't know whether he should be honored or angry.

"Really? Oppa, can you tell her to just let it go and pretend I never said those things?"

He thought to himself that if he surrendered, he could lose half the battle, and if they met again in the future, they could keep to themselves and consider it as working together to build Chen Shijun.

"What are you afraid of! You're such a failure as a senior. How can you be so afraid of someone so much younger than you?"

Hearing the man's words, Meiyan pouted unhappily, thinking to herself that it was all because of him that she had spoiled her and developed this lawless personality.

As for the idea of ​​stripping her clothes off and displaying them to the public, she would never believe it. As for being scolded, as long as she wasn't alone or caught, wouldn't that be enough?
Thinking about this made her feel much better. Looking at the situation now, it didn't seem so bad, and Meiyan was able to focus more on the details of the apartment's renovation.

When her financial situation allows, she is a woman who loves to spend money recklessly. Although she doesn't spend much, she always buys a lot of random and useful things.

For example, there's a magnetic levitation antique cabinet, a temperature-monitoring lava lamp, and a Baroque armchair. I just don't know if there's a solar-powered lighter. Chen Shijun is thinking of having a cigarette.

"Oppa, you've taken me under your wing, haven't you? I feel like I'm going back to my old ways. It wouldn't be so bad to go back to how things were before."

The main difference is that my mindset has changed. I used to be an unknown and failed trainee, but now I'm a popular member of a well-known group. I never thought we would end up on the same path.

Although it seems that nothing has changed in the end after going through such a long and complicated process, Meiyan now has her own business and obviously has more confidence to rely on.

At that time, her life and fortune were truly in Chen Shijun's hands. If the man really didn't have any conscience, she would go blind in no time.

But things are different now. Even without Chen Shijun, Meiyan feels that she can earn enough money to satisfy her sense of security within the course of her career, so that she won't end up in a miserable state.

Otherwise, if they rely on financial backers for support in the long term, they will immediately face a survival crisis once the other party withdraws its resources.

Not only that, but social relationships would also completely collapse. But things are different now. Now I have a well-known group and a group of fans who support me.

"However, don't take Yuan Ying's words to heart. If any conflict arises, just contact me."

After much thought, I still feel that we can't just sit idly by. For example, Yuan Ying has been behaving very well lately, but she still does some small things in private.

To this day, Chen Shijun still doesn't take Xiaoyuan's actions to heart; in his eyes, it's just a little girl's upset feeling about being slandered by others.

If someone hits you, you hit them back; if someone insults you, you insult them back. That's the simple, innocent mentality of a child.

After all, maturity cannot be achieved overnight. Chen Shijun believes that he is willing to accept some of the childlike aspects of her personality, and even the longer they remain in her, the better.

"Alright! But this girl will accuse me of tattling again. But I asked my man, Judge Chen, to uphold justice for me. Is that wrong?"

Looking at Chen Shijun with flirtatious eyes, Sister Mianmian, having let go of her burdens, almost unreservedly reverted to the female trainee she once was.

Meiyan, an only child, feels just like what her close friends with siblings say: parents with multiple children have endless cases to adjudicate every day, and no matter how they try to uphold justice, they can never satisfy both sides.

Therefore, under these circumstances, I should try to understand Chen Shijun and not cause him too much trouble.

"There's no right or wrong, but the final interpretation of the law is in my hands. My judgment depends on Meiyan's performance."

Pinch Meiyan's ear, he felt an inexplicable surge of joy at having her back. No wonder he was so angry when she ran away.
