Chapter 381 A Fake Couple Relationship
Yan Zhixu looked away: "Don't make wild guesses! They dated for a while, then realized they weren't compatible and broke up first."
Grandpa Yan: "Is that really so?"
Yan Zhixu: "Otherwise what? In that situation just now, Bei'an didn't react at all. He already knew that Weiwei and I were together."
Old Master Yan recalled that Yan Beian had indeed not made any statement.
Aside from the fact that he seemed to say he didn't want to eat and wanted to go back to his room, but his mother stopped him.
However, deep down in his mind, he still felt that such a thing should not happen!
"No, I still disagree. You must break up with Weiwei!"
Yan Zhixu pursed her lips and said, "Impossible!"
Old Master Yan tapped his ebony cane: "It has to work!"
Yan Zhixu: "Does this mean that if Weiwei wants to enter the Yan family, she can only do so through Bei'an, and not through me?"
Old Master Yan: "It's unreasonable. I can't face the ancestors of the Yan family, and I can't face your parents!"
Yan Zhixu's eyes darkened, and he said, "Then, we won't go into the Yan family. I'll take her into the Zhou family!"
Old Master Yan gasped and stood up abruptly: "What...what do you mean?"
Yan Zhixu: "My maternal grandparents and my aunt all know that Weiwei and I are together. They have accepted Weiwei. Since the Yan family does not agree, I can only bring her into the Zhou family."
Grandpa Yan's face was grim: "Did your maternal grandparents know that she had talked to Bei An?"
Yan Zhixu: "Beian is surnamed Yan, they don't care."
Old Master Yan: "Are you going to change your surname to Zhou for her sake?"
Yan Zhixu lowered her brows: "My parents will support me."
Grandpa Yan was speechless for a long time.

The study door was finally opened more than half an hour later.
The group immediately stood up and looked at them.
Liang Liangwei looked at Yan Zhixu following behind Old Master Yan, and he returned her a reassuring smile.
Grandpa Yan stopped in front of them with a stern face, looking at Liang Liangwei with a complicated expression. He naturally noticed the subtle glances between the two of them, and after a moment, he finally spoke: "Let's eat."
Does this mean... they've relented and agreed?
Xiao Ling was somewhat surprised. She had thought there was a high probability that the negotiations would fall apart, and she had already planned how to comfort the other party.
It seems we don't need to do anything anymore.
"Okay, let's eat! It's late, everyone's hungry."
She hurried to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Yan Bei'an also breathed a sigh of relief.
The group walked to the dining table. Grandpa Yan sat at the head of the table, with his eldest son and youngest son on either side of him. Xiao Ling and Liang Liangwei sat next to them.
The servants began serving the dishes.
The dining table was very quiet, or rather, because Grandpa Yan didn't smile much, everyone felt awkward.
Xiao Ling wanted to say something, but after looking at Old Master Yan's expression, she hesitated.
Liang Liangwei lowered her eyes in thought, not even noticing Yan Zhixu putting food on her plate.
Yan Zhixu nudged her arm: "What's wrong?"
He thought she was at a loss.
Liang Liangwei smiled at him and shook her head.
Xiao Ling watched their interaction and suddenly thought of the two times she had come before. Although she sat next to Yan Bei'an, there was not much interaction between them, which was far less intimate than the time she spent with Yan Zhixu.
She was a little confused.
She glanced at Yan Bei'an sideways.
Yan Bei'an was drinking soup when he noticed her gaze and froze.
He was still very uncomfortable, especially by the strange atmosphere, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake and be bombarded with criticism.
Xiao Ling glared at him and looked away.
The meal ended in a quiet atmosphere.
After the meal, Xiao Ling invited them to rest in the living room for a while and asked the maid to make tea.
Grandpa Yan sat in the head seat, accompanied by Yan Yunting.
Liang Liangwei and Yan Zhixu sat opposite each other.
She thought about it for a long time and felt that if she didn't say something, she would have really wasted her time coming today.
"Uncle Yan, I know you must be angry with me, and I'm very sorry for letting you down."
"However, I really like Yan Zhixu, and I hope you can support us being together."
Grandpa Yan raised his eyes, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Does it matter whether I support it or not?"
Liang Liangwei: "Of course it's important, otherwise he wouldn't have brought me back to see you."
Grandpa Yan looked at her, then at Yan Bei'an who was practically invisible on the other side, and said with a stern face, "A month ago, you were sitting with Bei'an, and now you're sitting with Zhixu. Don't you feel awkward?"
Yan Bei'an froze instantly, then looked up sharply at Yan Zhixu.
For some reason, whenever Grandpa brought up this matter, his first reaction was to look at his younger uncle.
Yan Zhixu's face darkened slightly, his expression was blank, and he glanced at him indifferently.
He swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Weiwei and I... it's all in the past, please don't mention it. She's with Uncle now, and I've completely withdrawn from the relationship."
Grandpa Yan glared at him: "You're spineless! If you hadn't been so ungrateful, would Weiwei have broken up with you?"
Yan Bei'an touched his nose and remained silent.
Liang Liangwei: "Uncle, please don't blame him. Yan Bei'an and I are just not compatible and can't get along. There's nothing we can do about it. Nobody is at fault."
Yan Zhixu pressed down her hand, looked at Old Master Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Dad, in front of me, you're feeling sorry for Bei'an? And you think Weiwei shouldn't be with me? Don't forget what we said in the study."
His words already carried a hint of threat. Others didn't understand, but Old Master Yan did, and his expression stiffened.
Yan Zhixu continued, "I was the one who pursued Weiwei. She's willing to be with me, so you should be happy for me. Why are you still dragging Bei'an into this? Can't you see how uncomfortable he is?"
Yan Beian looked up at Yan Zhixu, whose face was frozen, and his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.
He felt guilty and ashamed about his previous deal with Liang Liangwei, and he also regretted it. He thought that if he had pursued her seriously back then, the outcome might have been different...
But what's missed is missed, and perhaps this is a sign that they weren't meant to be.
Now the three of them are in an awkward situation, especially since the younger brother and Liang Liangwei cannot be sincerely accepted by the other family members. Instead, they have to consider his feelings, which makes him feel even worse.
He suddenly realized that he really couldn't keep running away like this.
He has to do something!
Thinking this, he suddenly stood up from his seat—
"I……"
Xiao Ling quickly pulled his arm, trying to get him to sit down: "What are you doing, causing trouble? Sit down!"
Yan Bei'an stood up again: "I have something to say..."
Xiao Ling pulled him again: "Don't make your grandfather angry, sit down!"
Yan Bei'an brushed her hand away, took two steps to the side, and said angrily, "Mom, you're always like this! I clearly have something to say, why won't you let me say it? Uncle can tell I'm uncomfortable, do you really want me to crawl into a hole and disappear?!"
Xiao Ling was stunned, because she had never been resisted so fiercely by her son before, and stared blankly at him.
Yan Beian pursed his lips, looked up at the old master Yan sitting at the head of the table, and said solemnly, "Grandpa, this matter started because of me, so let me explain. The whole thing has nothing to do with my uncle and Weiwei. It was all caused by me."
Yan Yunting also fixed his gaze on him, his eyes flickering slightly.
Yan Bei'an said, enunciating each word clearly, "Weiwei and I were never actually dating. That month we were in a fake relationship!"
