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

In the car, Cheng Xihe turned her head and saw that Yan Mingchuan was dealing with official business again, looking very busy.

She rested her chin on her hand and glanced sideways.

You can see Yan Mingchuan's long eyelashes, high nose bridge, and superior facial bone structure.

This guy is actually quite handsome.

Noticing the intense gaze, Yan Mingchuan stopped speaking: "Excuse me, wait a moment."

He spoke fluent and pleasant English, then muted his microphone, took off his headset, and turned to look at Cheng Xihe: "What's wrong?"

"It's really kind of Mr. Yan, such a busy person, to take a day off to spend with me."

Cheng Xihe smiled and said, "I'm flattered."

"It's what I should do." Seeing that she really had nothing else to say, Yan Mingchuan continued to handle his affairs.

Cheng Xihe asked Su Jin, who was in front of him, curiously, "Assistant Su..."

"Sister-in-law, you can call me A-Jin or Xiao Su, just like Brother Yan. We're all family now, no need to be so formal." Su Jin smiled at her and drove steadily.

"Okay, Ah Jin."

Cheng Xihe sat up straight and leaned forward.

Yan Mingchuan, who was standing next to him, keenly noticed that the person next to him was making a move.

He stopped and stared at Cheng Xihe's back.

With her wrist casually draped over the back of the chair in front of her, Cheng Xihe asked, "Tell me, what kind of person is your CEO Yan?"

"Our brother Yan has always been outstanding; he's always been the kind of kid everyone admires since he was a child."

"Don't even mention me, even my brother is far inferior to him. He's been a role model for us rich kids since we were little."

When Yan Mingchuan was mentioned, Su Jin's eyes sparkled.

He truly admired Yan Mingchuan.

When I was a child, I was both getting beaten and envious.

Cheng Xihe: "So that's what kind of person he is."

"Yes, he graduated from an Ivy League school a long time ago. He's very good at both academics and finance."

My father often praised him and hoped that I could learn something from him.

Su Jin never objected to being Yan Mingchuan's secretary; he was a complete fanboy.

"it is good."

Cheng Xihe didn't ask any further questions, but instead changed the subject: "Then let me find out who's in President Yan's family. Is there anything I should be careful about when we meet for the first time?"

She met Yan Haiting yesterday; he was a very dignified man, like a strict patriarch.

The current Mrs. Yan is not Yan Mingchuan's biological mother, but a mistress who was brought home a few years ago and took her place. She seems very warm and generous, but in reality, she is somewhat clueless.

She took the opportunity to investigate all the members of the Yan family.

Especially Yan Mingchuan's illegitimate younger brother, Yan Chiye.

Cheng Xihe had investigated him; the other party was no pushover.

"You've come to the right person. I know the Yan family quite well." Su Jin became excited as she talked about gossip.

"Cough cough."

Just as he was about to speak, a soft cough came from behind him.

Cheng Xihe glanced sideways. Su Jin in front of him shut her mouth, tightened her grip on the steering wheel, and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.

"The meeting is over?" Cheng Xihe asked calmly, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.

After packing his things, Yan Mingchuan nodded: "It's over. I heard you guys talking about my family."

"Brother Yan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so gossipy," Su Jin apologized cautiously.

Yan Mingchuan glanced at him: "It's alright, she'll find out eventually. You focus on driving, I'll tell her."

"Okay, okay."

Su Jin silently raised the partition.

Once this thing was up, the entire space became a bit smaller.

Neither of them spoke, and their heartbeats gradually became more noticeable.

Cheng Xihe broke the silence, saying, "Speak first, so we can understand each other better?"

Yesterday they only briefly exchanged information at home. Since they are going to officially cooperate, they naturally need to have a certain understanding of each other.

Yan Mingchuan: "As you see fit."

"My mother passed away when I was six years old. My father sent me back to Z City, where I grew up with my maternal grandmother."

My father and stepmother Zhang Zhiyue, the daughter of the Zhang family, are the only people living in my family now.

Qin Ruosu was brought from her ex-husband's house by my stepmother; Qin Shengxia is my twin sister; and Qin Yebai is the child of my stepmother and my father.

After briefly summarizing the family situation in a few words, Cheng Xihe said, "Qin Jian really wants to cooperate with you. I am just his bargaining chip. He is threatening me with my mother's belongings."

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Cheng Xihe turned her head to look at Yan Mingchuan, her eyes full of seriousness.

Yan Mingchuan glanced at her: "Your medical skills are superb; they couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, could they?"

"Yes, that's true."

Cheng Xihe smiled and said, "This involves my master, so I can't tell you."

"Senior Yunshan Ke is indeed a senior whom many people want to visit when they are desperate."

Yan Mingchuan once wanted to see him, but he couldn't find him and was even tricked, so he searched in vain.

Cheng Xihe smiled nonchalantly: "My master is famously powerful, so meeting him is no easy task."

"Even I can't see him whenever I want. He has his own schedule and doesn't have time for us," Cheng Xihe explained simply.

Yan Mingchuan already knew that she was Ghost Hand, as everyone knew that Ghost Hand was Yunshan Ke's last disciple.

There's no point in her trying to make up lies.

They decided to make their relationship clear.

"That's about it. Tell me about your situation." Cheng Xihe leaned back in his leather chair and turned to look at Yan Mingchuan.

Yan Mingchuan did not speak immediately.

His gaze lingered on Cheng Xihe's skirt for a moment before he carefully said, "My family situation isn't that complicated."

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow.

The relationships within large families are the most chaotic; no one would believe it if you said it wasn't complicated.

"Of course, it's not simple either."

Yan Mingchuan thought for a moment, then finally spoke, his voice flat and without a trace of emotion: "You met my father yesterday, Yan Haiting. He's autocratic and has taken a new wife and then abandoned me."

His parents used to be the epitome of a loving relationship.

Both of them were at the peak of their looks and were superior in every way, which is why other scions of wealthy families envied them.

Now, however, it's a complete mess.

"Tsk, just like Qin Jian." Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow.

Yan Mingchuan added, "My mother is living abroad now and has her own life. I rarely bother her."

"As for that woman, she came into the house with her child after I became disabled. You've met her; she likes to create a false image of harmony."

She couldn't wait for me to leave the Yan family so her son could enter into it openly and legitimately.

When Yan Mingchuan first met his younger brother, he was still lying in bed, his legs waiting to recover.

At that moment, he was even on the verge of a breakdown.

He had just gotten into trouble, and Yan Haiting couldn't hold back any longer.

"Your younger brother does look about the same age as you," Cheng Xihe said after thinking for a moment. "He's not much younger, is he?"

She had already looked up information about Yan Chiye yesterday.

He was a good student at school, and his grades were always above average.

However, compared to Yan Mingchuan, who excels in every aspect, she is still far inferior.

"Yes, her son is only a few years younger than me. He is Yan Haiting's illegitimate son and is currently studying at A University, preparing for his junior year."

When Yan Mingchuan mentioned Yan Chiye, his entire expression turned icy cold.

After all, this means that Yan Haiting committed adultery during his marriage.

Not long after his birth, he had already fathered Yan Chiye with another man, and kept him as a child for more than ten years without his family's knowledge.

If Yan Mingchuan hadn't been in a car accident, who knows how long this illegitimate child would have had to be raised.

Now, their true colors have finally been revealed.

"I see."

Unexpectedly, Yan Haiting, who appears gentle and refined on the surface and has the air of a powerful figure, also enjoys having affairs.

Yan Mingchuan reminded him, "You don't need to pay too much attention to my father, and you don't need to cater to that woman and her child either."

In the Yan family, besides my grandfather and father, you are the eldest, and you can do whatever you want.

"I can give you the confidence to cause trouble, so don't be afraid."

Worried that Cheng Xihe might be bullied at the Yan family's residence, Yan Mingchuan gave her a heads-up, telling her not to be shy.

Cheng Xihe chuckled: "I'm not afraid of being bullied, I'm just afraid of not being able to unleash my full potential."

"That's true."

Today, Cheng Xihe is using a grappling technique; it's impossible that he hasn't learned it.

Her movements were swift and precise, showing no signs of being a pitiful little thing to be slaughtered.

"In that case, tell me more about Yan Chiye, so I can learn more about him."

Cheng Xihe smiled and looked at Yan Mingchuan.

Yan Mingchuan: "Okay."
