Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

The next morning.

When Cheng Xihe came downstairs, Qin Jian hadn't come down yet; only Zhang Zhiyue was eating breakfast.

She didn't know when she came back.

She's still dressed like last night, and looks a bit travel-worn.

He must have just gotten back from staying up all night.

"Oh, Xihe, good morning." Zhang Zhiyue seemed to be in a very good mood, though she didn't know what she had done.

He even greeted Cheng Xihe with a smile.

Cheng Xihe frowned as he looked at Zhang Zhiyue's face: "Auntie, your dark circles are practically falling off the ground."

"It's nothing."

Zhang Zhiyue pulled over a chair next to her: "Come on, Xihe, sit here with your aunt."

"No."

Cheng Xihe sat down opposite her, looking at her curiously.

That's so strange, Zhang Zhiyue.

Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?

Something unusual must be going on!

"It's alright, you can sit down."

Zhang Zhiyue, in a good mood, tossed a wad of cash to Cheng Xihe: "Consider this your payment, we're even now."

"Um?"

There was a stack of 100,000 yuan in front of me.

Cheng Xihe was quite puzzled.

What on earth happened?!

She didn't reach for the money, but looked at Zhang Zhiyue.

Zhang Zhiyue waved her hand: "Your suggestion last time was very good, I liked it very much, consider this money as payment for providing you with inspiration."

She hadn't trusted Cheng Xihe's judgment before, and wore pearl earrings to the appointment, only to be ridiculed as a result.

People thought she was easy to bully, so they tried to cheat her out of the game.

He was even put in an awkward position several times.

Not enough presence.

Wearing the ruby ​​this time, she not only received compliments on her beauty, but also exuded confidence, winning over tens of thousands of dollars.

Playing mahjong isn't really about the money.

It's all about winning and saving face.

She was so proud today.

Originally, she asked Cheng Xihe to show off her earrings and test the taste of young people.

I didn't expect Cheng Xihe to be so capable.

Zhang Zhiyue's opinion of Cheng Xihe also changed somewhat.

Capable, not boring, can't be bullied, very assertive.

Furthermore, since everything was in her hands, Cheng Xihe couldn't get anything and posed no threat whatsoever.

She was too lazy to argue and decided to coexist peacefully for a while.

When they start school, we can find an excuse to let them move out.

I glanced at the ruby ​​earrings on Zhang Zhiyue's ears.

Cheng Xihe understood.

After shoveling the 100,000 yuan over, Cheng Xihe nodded, "Thank you."

"Okay, we're even now."

After finishing her meal, Zhang Zhiyue didn't say anything more to Cheng Xihe, just nodded and went back upstairs.

Butler Ye walked up to Cheng Xihe and whispered, "Madam just returned; I expect Master will be down soon too."

"I know."

Cheng Xihe quickly ate a few bites, grabbed his car keys, and headed out again.

Seeing this, the butler quickly asked, "Second Miss, where are you going? Will you be back for lunch?"

"Emm...maybe we won't eat. We'll be back tonight."

After Cheng Xihe finished speaking, he quickly left.

After Qin Jian went downstairs, the restaurant had been cleaned up and a fresh breakfast had been laid out.

"Butler Ye, come here."

Qin Jian looked up and saw Butler Ye rushing over.

Ye Mingde bowed to him: "Sir, what brings you here?"

"Tell me about your family situation," Qin Jian said, taking a sip of soy milk and eating breakfast.

Butler Ye stood beside Qin Jian and reported to everyone in turn: "Madam just returned and went to play games with Madam Su all night, as well as Madam Yan."

"The Yan family?"

Qin Jian scoffed, "You mean the nameless, illegitimate mother of the Yan family, right?"

"Yes, that person is being suppressed by President Yan and has no chance of getting ahead." Butler Ye nodded.

It is said that after Yan Mingchuan was in a car accident, his father brought home an illegitimate child.

The illegitimate son took his mother back to the Yan family.

But President Yan said that everything was for Yan Mingchuan, and the illegitimate child didn't get anything.

I don't know what they've been up to lately, but they're really making waves.

"That person is ultimately nameless and unknown, so let Zhiyue have less contact with him and avoid getting involved in these things."

Qin Jian looked down on that woman. He had worked hard for three years but hadn't even gotten a position. He was just bearing the title of Mrs. Yan.

"OK."

Butler Ye nodded. "These past two days, Madam hasn't had any more conflicts with the Second Miss. I wonder why."

Qin Jianming could clearly see through Zhang Zhiyue's little tricks, but he still indulged her.

Just like how he tolerated Zhang Zhiyue and Qin Ruosu bullying Qin Shengxia, he was the culprit.

"Fine, don't bother," Qin Jian waved his hand impatiently. "You're useless."

Aside from giving Zhang Zhiyue a mild but effective challenge on her first day back, which resulted in her being proven wrong, she was quickly proven wrong.

It was just shelved, and no further action was taken.

"Where's Qin Yebai? I haven't seen that brat these past few days!"

Qin Jian glanced at the newspaper in his hand, put down the finished soy milk, and tapped it.

Butler Ye poured him another cup of soy milk: "Young Master hasn't come out these days except for mealtimes."

Most importantly, the young master always runs far away whenever he sees the second young lady, afraid to cause trouble.

"You don't even dare to do this?"

Qin Jian actually wanted to see the house in complete chaos.

That way he'll have an excuse to stay away from home.

Unfortunately, he did not achieve the effect he wanted.

"The young master is truly terrified of being beaten."

Later that day, when he went to deliver medicine to the young master, the little guy was in so much pain that he grimaced and cried loudly.

Qin Jian put down his newspaper: "Is Qin Ruosu going to make another move?"

"That's all. I guess she's planning to stay with Su Wenjie." Butler Ye said, looking at Qin Ruosu's expression.

He probably felt that everyone had to like Su Wenjie, and he was extremely nervous.

Qin Jian tapped his fingers on the table thoughtfully, then said, "Here's what we'll do: when you see Qin Ruosu today, tell her..."

"OK."

Butler Ye nodded, his expression indifferent.

The gentleman is someone who loves to watch the drama unfold.

He likes to fight at home so that no one can control him.

Qin Jian smiled with satisfaction: "Let's test her waters. If that doesn't work, let Qin Shengxia go. She won't care anyway."

"Yes, sir."

Cheng Xihe didn't make any appointments today; she simply went to A University for a stroll and met the teacher who had recruited her.

"Cheng, we have dedicated dormitories here, so you can live on campus, which is much more convenient than living outside."

The teacher introduced the school and mentioned its benefits.

"No need," Cheng Xihe shook his head and refused, "I have a place to stay, there's no need to trouble the school."

Despite Cheng Xihe's rejection, the admissions officer still intended to try:

"You should really consider it. Our school has the best accommodation in City A, and there are only four people in one dormitory room."

Cheng Xihe wore a mask, his voice deep and muffled:

"No need, it's about the same distance from there. I just want to make sure I can stay somewhere else."

Seeing this, the admissions officer suggested:

"In that case, we'll reserve a dorm room for you. Military training will be held at the school, so you can stay in the dorm, right?"

Faced with the enthusiastic admissions officer, Cheng Xihe nodded: "Okay, then that's settled."

As the two were talking and preparing to walk forward, Cheng Xihe stopped...
