Chapter 380 I treated you like a daughter-in-law, but you wanted to be my sister-in-law.
Yan Zhixu: "I have always been very sensible and have always known what I want."
Old Master Yan: "If you really had any sense of propriety, you wouldn't have coveted your nephew's..."
He couldn't bring himself to say the rest, and after holding it in for a long time until his face turned red, he could only vent his anger by heavily striking the ground with his dragon-headed staff.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Ling quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, talk to Zhixu properly."
Liang Liangwei, protected behind Yan Zhixu, watched the sharp back-and-forth between father and son, feeling somewhat anxious.
But every time he tried to go forward, Yan Zhixu stopped him.
She couldn't hold back any longer. She pushed his hand away, took a few steps forward, and said, "Uncle, I know you're very angry, but please don't be angry. My sister-in-law is right. We should talk things out."
The last time she came, she addressed him as "Grandpa Yan" and "Uncle and Aunt," but now she has changed her address and the generational relationship is different, making the old man and Xiao Ling very uncomfortable.
They looked at Liang Liangwei with complicated expressions.
The more I liked her before, the more annoyed I am with her now.
Could it be that they misjudged the situation?
This girl flirted with her nephew and then her uncle, and now she's pretending to be innocent in front of them. Is she trying to cause trouble in the Yan family?
Grandpa Yan glared at her, wanting to scold her and question her, but faced with that pretty little face and that cautious, ingratiating smile, he just couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh!
He hardened his face, steeled himself, and said in a stiff voice, "You have no right to speak for now!"
He looked at Yan Zhixu and said, "You, come with me to the study!"
He headed towards the study first.
Yan Zhixu glanced at Liang Liangwei and, seeing the worry in her eyes, gently comforted her, "Don't worry, sit with your elder brother and sister-in-law for a while, I'll go talk to my father."
Liang Liangwei grabbed his arm and said, "Don't argue with your uncle, don't make him angry."
Yan Zhixu's expression softened, and she replied, "Okay."
Liang Liangwei whispered again, "If he hits you with that stick, remember to dodge."
She still remembered Yan Bei'an saying that he was hit twice with that stick and it hurt a lot.
Yan Zhixu couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay."
Turning to Xiao Ling, he said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, I'll explain later. I'm going to Dad's study first. Weiwei, could you please look after him for a while?"
Xiao Ling could only nod: "Okay, go ahead."
Yan Zhixu released Liang Liangwei's hand and walked towards Old Master Yan's study.
Xiao Ling looked down at Liang Liangwei's affectionate gesture of holding Yan Zhixu's arm, and her eyes twitched involuntarily.
After the father and son left, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Liang Liangwei smiled at Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ling also smiled back.
"Weiwei, please sit down. They may need to talk for a while."
Liang Liangwei: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiao Ling sat back down and stiffened slightly upon hearing her address.
An awkward silence fell over the four of them.
Xiao Ling glanced at the brocade box on the coffee table and suddenly felt a bit ironic.
A slight sound came from beside her ear. She glanced over and saw it was her husband, Yan Yunting, playing with walnuts.
What time is it? You're still calmly playing around?
No, he seems to have remained completely silent from the beginning, unusually calm.
Could it be——
She moved closer to Yan Yunting and asked in a low voice, "Did you already know?"
Yan Yunting said calmly, "Let's just wait and see how things develop. We'll talk about it when Dad and the others come out."
Xiao Ling wanted to pinch him, but she felt it wouldn't look good in front of Liang Liangwei, so she glared at him and held back.
Looking at Liang Liangwei again, she was looking in the direction of the study, her brows furrowed and her lips pursed, looking very worried.
Xiao Ling's eyes were filled with complex emotions, her mind in turmoil.
I treated you like a daughter-in-law, but you want to be my sister-in-law...
"Weiwei," she coughed lightly, making conversation, "that skincare set you gave me the other day is really working well, hehe..."
Liang Liangwei turned around and smiled, saying, "Yes, I'm glad you like it, sister-in-law. I'll bring you more good things next time."
I even called her "Auntie" the day I gave her the skincare products...
Xiao Ling: "I've already given that skincare set to my foreign client's wife."
Yan Yunting turned his head to look at him: "Is it the set you asked me to pass on yesterday?"
Xiao Ling: "Yes, Weiwei said that set is not suitable for Asian women, but for Europeans and Americans. Since your client is from Europe, we just used it to help out."
Liang Liangwei: "A wise move."
Xiao Ling had no right to interfere with Liang Liangwei's decision to date Yan Zhixu, but she was still uneasy about it.
After all, she had talked to her son, and now she's talking to her uncle. Not only are they from different generations, but this relationship is really not something that can be discussed openly.
The only saving grace now is that when she talked to Yan Bei'an before, they didn't talk too much about their relationship, so not many people knew about it. Otherwise, it would have been awkward later.
She now deeply regrets telling a small group of people that Liang Liangwei is her son's girlfriend, and hopes that those ladies will quickly forget about it.
She glanced at Yan Bei'an beside her and saw that he was clearly watching her and Liang Liangwei talk, but when she looked over, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and started playing games on his phone. She was furious and slapped him on the head.
Yan Bei'an hissed in pain, dropping his phone. He quickly picked it up: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Xiao Ling: "Aren't you going to say something? She's your—"
Yan Bei'an coughed and said, "Um, Weiwei, are you hungry?"
Xiao Ling was furious: "Did I ask you to say that?"
Yan Bei'an looked completely innocent: "Then what do you want me to say? It's past 7 o'clock, and we haven't eaten yet. How can we not be hungry?"
Xiao Ling looked at him coldly.
No wonder he and Weiwei weren't meant to be; serves them right!
She smiled awkwardly at Liang Liangwei, who smiled back and said, "I've already had afternoon tea, so I'm not very hungry."
Xiao Ling: "Wait a little longer, we'll start eating once they come out."
Liang Liangwei: "Okay."

The atmosphere in the study was tense for a time.
Grandpa Yan sat on the sofa, his face stern, and asked in a stern voice, "What exactly happened?"
Yan Zhixu: "As you can see, I like Weiwei. She broke up with Bei'an, so I pursued her, and she liked me too, so she agreed to be with me. Haven't you always told me to bring my girlfriend back to meet you? But now that I've brought her back, you object. What can I do?"
Grandpa Yan was exasperated: "Even if she's not dating Bei'an anymore, they were together after all, so in terms of seniority, she's your niece. How could you..."
Yan Zhixu frowned and said, "What niece? Dad, are you confused? I'm only 5 years older than her, so we can be considered the same age. How can she be my niece? Just because she knew Bei'an first?"
Grandpa Yan: "The key point is whether they know each other, the key point is that they've talked!"
Suddenly realizing something, his expression changed, and he asked, "You didn't steal it from Bei'an..."
