Chapter 319: Helping Duan Xifeng

After several days of running around, Wang Yan and Yang Tao finally selected a fairly large two-story commercial space near their new home and signed a five-year long-term lease, mainly for the convenience of being close to home. Of course, the decision was primarily made by Wang Yan; Yang Tao couldn't make up her mind, as she thought everything looked good and couldn't choose. After signing the contract, getting the keys, and explaining their ideas to the renovation company, the work had already begun.

Now, Yang Tao's daily work consisted of going to the new home under renovation and the bridal shop, fully exercising her sense of ownership as the lady of the house, checking the progress, giving directions, and promptly implementing any sudden ideas she had.

This day, after having dinner at her mother's house, Wang Yan and Yang Tao were snuggled together on a single sofa watching TV, while her mother and her eldest cousin sat on a long multi-person sofa, eating fruit and watching TV. The whole family was laughing and chatting.

In this harmonious and beautiful atmosphere, a "clatter" sound of the door opening rang out.

Xue Sumei said without even turning her head, "Xifeng, you're back? Have you eaten? If not, I'll heat some up for you."

"No need, Auntie, I ate before coming back." Duan Xifeng changed his shoes, carried his small bag inside, and looked at the couple Wang Yan and Yang Tao with a smile, "Oh, everyone's here."

Yang Tao laughed, "We haven't seen each other for several days, brother-in-law."

"Indeed, I've been especially busy lately, a pile of things at the company." While speaking, Duan Xifeng sat down beside Su Qing, "I heard you found a commercial space and have already started renovations?"

"Yes, it should be done in two or three months. When the wedding dresses arrive, you and my sister can go take a look, and let Wang Yan take some photos for you."

Su Qing nodded repeatedly, "That's a good idea, it's settled then."

The family laughed, and Xue Sumei scolded Duan Xifeng, "It's not that I want to nag you, Xifeng, but now is a critical time for Su Qing, you should spend more time with her."

Wang Yan laughed, "Exactly, I remember you weren't this busy before, right?"

"Who can say for sure about company matters? Sometimes you're busy, sometimes you're not." Duan Xifeng said irritably, "Do you think I'm like you? Lying at home all day and the money just comes in by itself? Let me tell you, you have the least right to speak on this; you just don't understand the bitterness of working and selling your life for others."

Wang Yan shrugged and said nothing.

"If you put it that way, it's true; there really aren't many like Wang Yan." Xue Sumei laughed, "Xifeng, Auntie understands that your work is busy, but you must be careful. Work is important, but family is even more important. You say it's fine now, but later when the child is born, if you, the father, are nowhere to be seen from morning till night, that won't be good for the child's growth."

"Yes, yes, yes, Auntie, you are right. It's just this period, it will be better after a while." After finishing his perfunctory reply, Duan Xifeng lowered his head to care for his wife, "How are you today? Not as uncomfortable anymore, right?"

Listening to their conversation, Wang Yan chuckled and turned his head back to watch TV.

Recently, Yang Tao had also started experiencing pregnancy symptoms, which were quite a hassle, but with Wang Yan, a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she wasn't as uncomfortable as Su Qing, despite the trouble. Occasionally, a medicinal meal would stimulate her appetite and strengthen her body, plus a full-body massage every day to relieve her mind and body. Yang Tao didn't suffer much and had a great appetite.

After watching TV for a while and chatting, Wang Yan and Yang Tao said their goodbyes and returned to their home on the Fifth Ring Road.

After washing up, Yang Tao lay on the bed, and Wang Yan massaged her arm from the side.

Humming comfortably, Yang Tao expressed her satisfaction with Wang Yan's work, "How do you know so much?"

Wang Yan gave a proud hum, "Forgot what I said? What is the most important thing when walking the world?"

Yang Tao couldn't help but curl her lips, "That having many skills is never a burden."

"Look, isn't it useful now? You have to learn until you're old. When walking the world, how can you get by if you don't know much? Wouldn't you be cheated by others and still be counting money for them?"

"Yes, yes, you're the most amazing."

"Just know it." Satisfied, he rubbed her belly, "Come on, it's your turn."

"No." Yang Tao turned over and wanted to hide under the quilt, but was grabbed by Wang Yan: "It's already been a week, can you bear to watch me suffocate?"

"Oh, mm..."

The next day, Wang Yan got up early for his daily exercise. By the time he returned with breakfast, Yang Tao had gotten up herself after a short while. Sleeping early naturally meant waking up early. Although she was a bit sleepy due to pregnancy, he took good care of her, so she had plenty of energy, and her life naturally became regular.

After breakfast and washing up, the two took advantage of the cool morning to check the renovation progress of their new home and the shop. Afterward, they strolled around the mall for exercise. At noon, they returned home to eat lunch made by Wang Yan, snuggled for the afternoon, and went for a walk in a nearby park in the late afternoon. In the evening, Wang Yan was busy again, preparing a rich, healthy, and nutritious dinner. When they weren't eating at her mother's house, or when her mother wasn't visiting, this was basically their daily routine. At the same time, Wang Yan would hold his camera and take photos at will. Their life was still quite good, plain yet happy.

Of course, they weren't just snuggling all the time. Yang Tao was also very seriously studying, designing wedding dresses every day. If she found any good ones, she would mark them down, and once she made contact, she would have them made and put in the shop. Of course, she also had to hand-make wedding dresses herself; after all, that was the soul, but that was a matter for the future.

Yang Tao ate her meal in big mouthfuls. She always kept in mind that she wasn't just one person; eating was a task, and she was very serious about it.

Looking at the man opposite her who wasn't using his chopsticks but just staring at her, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Are you going to eat? What are you looking at me for?"

"I won't eat. I need to ask for your permission; I have to go out tonight."

"Drinking?"

"Drinking is secondary. Mainly, I want to eat some skewers to satisfy my craving."

Yang Tao also liked eating them quite a bit. Hearing this, she looked at the rich food on the table and felt it didn't smell as good anymore, "I want to eat too..."

"You can't. Those are harmful substances and are bad for the fetus. Let alone that ours hasn't even formed yet, that's even worse. Be obedient, okay? After the child is born, we can eat whatever we want."

Yang Tao wasn't being difficult. She let out a long sigh, took a big bite of her food, and muttered, "Who are you going to eat with?"

"Brother-in-law."

Wang Yan was going to help Duan Xifeng. It was still that saying: since they were already on good terms, and the things in between weren't good things, it was better if they didn't happen. If a small effort could bring family harmony, it had to be done.

"He finally came home early for once. Instead of letting him accompany my eldest sister, you're taking him to eat barbecue? Is that appropriate?"

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand, "That's where you don't understand. He's under a lot of pressure. It's certain he'll go home to accompany my eldest sister, but that's a different responsibility, isn't it? If he goes out with me to drink a little and eat some skewers, he can also relax."

"Then come back early, don't drag him into drinking until he's dead."

"I know, don't worry." Wang Yan said, "Then I'm leaving?"

"Go."

"Understood." Wang Yan exaggeratedly stood up and saluted, then took his phone and wallet, changed his shoes at the door, and left.

He didn't drive, which saved the trouble of finding a designated driver, and took a taxi directly to the barbecue restaurant they had agreed upon.

This place wasn't far from where Duan Xifeng worked, so Duan Xifeng had arrived long ago and was already eating at an outdoor table at the entrance of the shop.

Seeing Wang Yan approach, Duan Xifeng waved to signal him. When he got close, he said, "Order whatever you want to eat. My treat today, don't be polite with me." While speaking, he ate a lamb skewer in one bite and waved to call the waiter over.

Of course, Wang Yan wouldn't be polite; he came to eat meat, so he immediately took the menu and ordered quite a few meat skewers and some other snacks, and also ordered a glass of draft beer.

Duan Xifeng looked at Wang Yan strangely, "How do you still have the time to find me for a meal?"

"What kind of talk is that? Can't I find you if there's nothing going on?"

"How could that be? I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time either, and I just happened to want to eat it when your call came." Duan Xifeng laughed and raised his glass, "Come, let's have one."

Wang Yan raised his glass and took a sip with him, then picked up a handful of skewers and started eating, "How is sister Su Qing?"

"That must be good. Back then, I pursued her desperately, and there were quite a few competitors." Duan Xifeng proudly patted his chest and said with a smile, "In the end, I was the one who chased her down, look at that. Besides, she's pregnant now, how could I treat her badly?"

Also feeling guilty, Duan Xifeng thought of Deng Jiajia after finishing his sentence, frowned and said, "That's not right. Although we haven't been in contact for long, we haven't had little contact either. Don't you know how things are between Su Qing and me? Do you have something going on?"

"You're quite quick to react." Wang Yan nodded, took out four folded sheets of paper from his pocket, and handed them to him, "Take a good look."

"What is this?" Looking at Wang Yan, who was eating skewers and meat, with confusion, Duan Xifeng took the four sheets of paper, unfolded them, and glanced at them.

At just one glance, his eyes widened sharply. He saw the three characters "Deng Jiajia" printed in standard Song typeface, and next to it was a one-inch photo from an ID card. He gripped the two sheets of paper in his hand tightly, looked up at Wang Yan, his voice trembling, and he was evasive, "You... you knew everything?"

Wang Yan said indifferently, "I saw it when I was driving that day, and later I spent money to have someone check it. Take a look."

Duan Xifeng looked tremblingly at the clear information starting from elementary school, looked at those dating partners, looked at the simply listed hotel check-in records, and all the messy things like family background and so on.

After reading it, Duan Xifeng asked nervously, "You didn't tell Taozi, did you?"

Seeing Wang Yan shake his head, he let out a long breath, "That's good, that's good. Wang Yan, brother, I won't lie to you, I was passive. At that time... later she found me and said she was pregnant... who knew she didn't have an abortion? She even said something about a thin endometrium and that she couldn't give birth again in the future. You tell me, what could I do?"

Wang Yan ate his skewers and laughed, "She said it's thin, so it's thin? Can't you take her to the hospital to check? Besides, look at the hotel records on there. If that child says it's yours, is it yours? There was more than just you during that time."

"No, brother, it's already at this point, don't make fun of me. Tell me, what should I do? Help me think of a way. I'm stuck, I can't shake her off."

Duan Xifeng said with a mournful face, took a big gulp of wine, and opened the floodgates, "You say how good Su Qing and I are. I've had it quite hard to have today after so many years. My brain is full of work. I just want to make something of myself. I want to walk with my head held high. Now it's good, I have money and a certain status. Let me tell you, those young girls are throwing themselves at me one after another, throwing themselves at me. Oh, right, you're richer than me, you should be able to understand that feeling."

Wang Mouren was a gentleman this time and had kept himself clean until now, "Stop it, don't talk about me. Am I stupid? If I have money and don't know how to spend it, I just wander around and play blindly, but it's not as exciting as yours. Talk about yours, don't drag me into it."

"Fine, I won't talk about you, I'm the one who's not human." They were both men, and Duan Xifeng didn't believe it at all, waving his hand, "Later, when they threw themselves at me more, I felt that the people around me were all like this, and I felt it was quite normal. Then didn't I fall into it? I also started to live a life of debauchery and luxury. At that time, I felt, hey, I had quite a sense of achievement, and I felt that was the life a man should live, that was success."

"But now I don't think so. You don't know, Wang Yan, I regret it so much now. I'm terrified every day, afraid that Su Qing will find out. I can't even sleep soundly. You say I should tell her, but I don't dare. I wish I could just tie a rope and die, but I don't dare. You say if I'm gone, how will Su Qing and the child, the mother and daughter, live?"

Duan Xifeng wiped his nose, "Brother, you know now, and you didn't tell Taozi, or my aunt and the others. You must think I can still be saved. Help me think of an idea, tell me what I should do?"

"From what you said, I think you're just entangled by this Deng Jiajia and know you're afraid. If this hadn't happened, who knows how happy you would be." Wang Yan said, "What else can you do? First, confirm if her endometrium is really thin, then do a paternity test to see if it's really your child. If it is, pay money to settle it; if not, tell her to get lost."

"Where is it that easy? She knows where I work, knows where our home is, and she also knows where Su Qing works. You say if she makes a scene, what should I do? Regardless of whether the child is mine or not, it's certain that I'm not honest and not living a good life. Su Qing, my aunt, and your family's Taozi, who can forgive me? Wouldn't they really take a kitchen knife and hack me to death? I really love our home, I really love Su Qing. Her parents passed away early, and so did mine. Auntie treats me like her own son, and I see Taozi as my own younger sister. I really don't want it to fall apart like this."

"Knowing fear is enough." Wang Yan waved his hand, "I'll tell you this, helping you this time is for the sake of family harmony. These two pregnant women, and my mother-in-law who is so old, can't be messed around with. If there's a next time, you might as well die early and be reborn."

"Oh, brother, I'm already worried to death this time, how could I dare to have a next time. Tell me quickly, what should I do?"

Wang Yan took a sip of wine, "Simple, just throw these few sheets of paper in her face."

Ordinary people will be afraid when they see those details that they have even forgotten themselves; he is very experienced. A hostess who has gone astray, no matter how high her quality is, it won't be that high, and she is very easy to handle.

"Just this?" Duan Xifeng looked incredulous, "What does this count as? She's quite difficult to deal with, let me tell you, otherwise it wouldn't be like this now."

"Shut up. Isn't she difficult to deal with, but you still dealt with her? Besides, it's been a long time, right? You believe whatever she says? With those few sheets of paper stripping her so clean, how can she still make a scene with you? Since I can check her bottom, can't I also make her have an accident? We don't dare to say it's a life, but getting rid of the child in her belly and making her disabled, no problem, right? You say, is she afraid?"

Wang Yan said indifferently, "Just a woman with a little bit of scheming, what can't be handled? As long as you don't go soft, and don't go to care for her when she sheds two tears, then the problem won't be big; she absolutely won't dare to make a scene. Things have developed to this day because you are too soft, or rather, you really want to plant a flag outside. Don't argue, you know what you're thinking yourself."

"So as long as your attitude is tough, everything is easy to talk about. She knows what she has done, and she knows even better whose child that is. If she doesn't accept it, take her to do a paternity test. Can't amniotic fluid be drawn? Do you have to wait until the child is born to test? Although it may lead to a miscarriage, unless you really want to live with her, otherwise whether the child is gone or not... hmm, if it really is yours, even if you are a dog in your next life. Everything has to have a trade-off, right? You can't really divorce my eldest cousin, can you?"

Duan Xifeng said hesitantly, "Can it really work?"

"Just a hostess, you think too highly of her. As long as you don't go soft, it will work nine times out of ten. At most, give her thirty or fifty thousand so she has something to earn." Wang Yan waved his hand, "If you had been stronger earlier, she would have had the child aborted herself, so how could there be today's matter?"

Duan Xifeng nodded fiercely, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go find her after eating."

"Not today, tomorrow."

"Why?"

Wang Yan shrugged, "I told Taozi that I was going out to eat barbecue with you, she will definitely tell my eldest cousin. Let's eat more, drink less, and go back early to accompany our wives."

"Then tomorrow, come, drink, drink. I have to drink more, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"As long as you're happy." Wang Yan clinked his big glass with him, and after drinking, he started eating meat.

Duan Xifeng rambled about the past years, drinking glass after glass until he was confused but still awake. Wang Yan gave some more specific instructions on what to say, and then the two parted ways and went home.

They parted early and returned early. When he arrived home, Yang Tao was eating fruit and watching TV.

"Back so early?"

"Isn't it because I was afraid you'd be bored? I hurried back to accompany you."

"As if it's interesting when you come back."

Wang Yan sat on the sofa and hugged her, "Two people together might be boring, but it's better than you being bored alone, right?"

"Oh, look at you, talking like a tongue twister. You smell like alcohol, go wash up quickly."

"Understood, my lady, wait a moment, your husband will be back soon." After speaking, amidst Yang Tao's giggles, Wang Yan ran to the bathroom to wash up while chanting...

Two days later, on the afternoon of the third day, Wang Yan received a call from Duan Xifeng, saying that he had successfully dismissed Deng Jiajia and wanted to find him to drink and chat in the evening. Wang Yan had nothing to do, so he agreed to the appointment.

Of course, Yang Tao had nothing to say, just asking boredly where he was going and with whom. After all, someone like Wang Yan spent most of his time accompanying her, which was really lucky. The simplest example was her sister right there; her brother-in-law was busy all day and not home, so she was quite at ease with Wang Yan. Come to think of it, if she wasn't at ease, she wouldn't have married him so quickly and gotten pregnant.

He sent Yang Tao to her mother's house and waited until evening to go back with Duan Xifeng to pick her up. Afterward, they took a taxi to the agreed place, which was a pretty good restaurant, and Duan Xifeng had already ordered the dishes and was waiting.

"Sit, sit." Seeing Wang Yan approach, Duan Xifeng greeted him enthusiastically, poured him a glass of plum juice, and then patted an unopened bottle of 15-year-old Moutai on the side, "Great kindness doesn't need thanks, let's whet our appetite first. I'm really bleeding money today. Let's not drink too much, just this bottle of white, and then drink a few bottles of beer and go home to accompany our wives."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "Okay, tell me, how did it end?"

"Let me tell you, after we drank that day, I asked for leave the next day, and in the morning I went to the house I rented for her..."

As Duan Xifeng narrated, Wang Yan also learned about what happened in the past few days...

The day after drinking, Duan Xifeng ate the breakfast his aunt bought outside early in the morning, kissed his pregnant wife goodbye, and set off from home according to his usual work time, driving directly to the vicinity of the company. Of course, he didn't go to work, but because that little lady rented a house not far from his company. As a middle-to-high-level manager of the company, there was no such thing as signing in or punching a clock long ago. Whether he went late or didn't go, there was always an excuse. His so-called asking for leave was just a habitual way of saying it.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't go upstairs immediately, but smoked two cigarettes downstairs, brewed some emotions, and then entered the unit door and took the elevator up.

Standing at the door, he let out a long breath and gave himself two not-so-light slaps on the face, "Momentum, momentum, momentum, be angry, be angry."

After doing this, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

Deng Jiajia was lying happily on the sofa, watching the TV series playing inside. Of course, this kind of life wasn't what she wanted; what she wanted was to watch TV in her own big house, what she wanted was international big brands all over her body, and what she wanted was the life of a rich wife. But it wasn't bad like this now, at least life was passable, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, it was quite good. She really wanted to quit the world; although this Duan Xifeng wasn't the best, he wasn't bad either. She knew the truth that she couldn't ask for a bicycle.

"Why did you come so early? Didn't you go to work today?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, looking at Duan Xifeng who walked in, she sat up happily. Seeing that he didn't change his shoes and walked in directly, she couldn't help but frown, feeling aggrieved, "Why didn't you change your shoes? If it were at your home, you would definitely have changed them..."

"Not changing shoes?" Looking at her pretentious posture, Duan Xifeng gave a cold laugh, stepped forward two steps, and slapped her directly on the face, knocking her onto the sofa.

Caught off guard, Deng Jiajia let out a scream, covered her face and fell onto the sofa, looking at Duan Xifeng in disbelief, and instantly tears fell, "You hit me? You dare to hit me? Why did you hit me? What right do you have to hit me?"

"I hit you, this bitch." Duan Xifeng took out the few sheets of paper and threw them in her face, "Take a look yourself." Then he stood by the balcony, panting violently to calm down. It was too exciting, refreshing.

Duan Xifeng really didn't hold back; this slap used all his strength, and Deng Jiajia's face was visibly red and swollen. She hadn't lost her mind yet, opened the four folded sheets of paper with both hands, and when she saw her name, her eyes suddenly widened. Looking at the back of the person who was calm on the side, she tremblingly reached out to turn the pages, reading line by line, until she was finally desperate, weakly putting down the paper in her hand, because those were all true...

Duan Xifeng gave a cold hum, "What else do you have to say now? My child? You checked into a hotel with a man three days ago, and you tell me it's my child? Ah? Tired of living? Trying to blackmail me?"

"No, it's not like that." Deng Jiajia got up and walked a few steps, collapsing on the ground, hugging Duan Xifeng's leg, "Believe me, believe me, I really like you, I really want to be with you, I really want to have a home, I didn't lie to you."

"It's already this time, and you're still telling me this?" A slap greeted her, Duan Xifeng looked at the woman who fell on the floor, "Tell me, is the child mine? Hmm?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Her bottom line was exposed, Deng Jiajia was in a mess, just shaking her head, and her face still hurt. She knew that since she had been exposed, saying anything more was meaningless.

"Then tell me, is the thin endometrium true or false? If you say it's true, let's go to the hospital and check it now."

"False..."

Duan Xifeng looked at Deng Jiajia with cold eyes, "Is there anything else to say?"

Deng Jiajia just shook her head; Duan Xifeng's two big slaps already explained his attitude. Besides, some things recorded in the data she had forgotten herself. Although it wasn't written in detail, she should know that she had no secrets in front of others just by looking at the beginning. There was really nothing to say. There was no room for lying or cheating at all; no matter how high her means were, it was all in vain.

"Go change your clothes, let's go to the hospital."

Deng Jiajia cried with red eyes, looking pitiful, "What are we going to the hospital for?"

"Get rid of the child, I'll pay. I don't want the previous sixty thousand back. You can't perform such a play for nothing, it can be considered that I'm decent enough. It's not bad to have earned something, I hope you don't be ungrateful."

Of course, Deng Jiajia agreed. Therefore, Duan Xifeng took her to a relatively far hospital. There were too many people, so they made an appointment for the next day. Duan Xifeng accompanied her, watching her come out of the operating room weakly. Under the doctor's look at a scumbag, he confirmed it one last time without giving up, and after saying "take care of yourself" to Deng Jiajia who was in pain, he returned home to snuggle with Su Qing for a long time, comforting the guilt in his heart. Today, as soon as he got off work, he made an appointment with Wang Yan, the benefactor who saved his marriage, to drink and thank him.

As for Deng Jiajia, who was still in the hospital and weak, let her live or die... This Duan Xifeng wasn't a good thing either, no mistake...

After finishing the process, Duan Xifeng said while gesturing, "Brother, let me tell you, you know how refreshing those two 'slap' slaps were, it was really satisfying. My worry during this period, those two slaps were thrown out, happy!"

Deng Jiajia was just an ordinary hostess. She must have thought about making a scene, but she definitely didn't dare. This kind of power that couldn't be seen but could be felt was the key. Even her hooligan brother, who was a bit fierce in fighting, didn't dare to prick. Of course, playing hooligan depends on the object; one should know who can be provoked and who cannot. In general, this was a small matter, not worth mentioning.

Clinking a glass with him, taking a small sip of wine, Wang Yan waved his hand, "Forget it, why are you still proud? Something that doesn't even need thirty or fifty thousand, you spent a hundred thousand back and forth? You don't seem to have anything, just like that Deng Jiajia, she doesn't take herself seriously either. Earning a hundred thousand in two months, she must feel she didn't earn little."

Duan Xifeng laughed heartily, "Hey, if this matter can pass, I'll burn high incense, let alone money. Don't say a hundred thousand, even if it's two hundred thousand, as long as I can settle her, I'll admit it."

"Then how do you explain this money to my eldest cousin?"

"You don't know, the money in our family is mostly held by her, and I hold some. After all, I'm always socializing day after day. Although it's all reimbursed, it's not that timely, and it still needs to be audited, right? So I don't have much money in my hands, plus sometimes I keep a part of the company's bonuses and so on. Back and forth, the money in my hands is about a hundred thousand. Now that a hundred thousand is gone at once, I also feel heartache. But there's no way, who told me I'm not striving and can't control my pants? It's not bad to be like this."

Wang Yan nodded, "Okay, this matter is done once, you should still learn a lesson. I'll tell you, this is the only time, if there's a next time, I'll just point you out directly."

"I'm not even there yet, you're richer than me, you should also be honest, let's supervise each other." Duan Xifeng waved his hand, his face serious and earnest, "I also tell you, I treat Taozi as my own younger sister. If you dare to treat her badly, even if I point myself out, I won't forgive you."

"Alright, drink, go back early, everyone is waiting."

"Haha, drink, drink, happy..."

While chatting, they drank a bottle of white wine glass by glass very quickly, and each drank four bottles of beer. After eating and drinking their fill, they paid the bill and left.

Wang Yan didn't drive. When he sent Yang Tao before, he parked at her mother's place. He called a designated driver with the somewhat confused Duan Xifeng and returned to her mother's house together.

The two swayed upstairs. Before they could knock, the sharp-eared mother-in-law opened the door, "Oh, look at you two swaying. I heard you talking in the room. Hurry in, don't disturb others' rest."

The two nodded repeatedly, changed their shoes at the door one after another, and went to the sofa to find their wives. Xue Sumei asked strangely, "What's wrong with you two recently? I didn't see you always going out to drink before, why are you drinking so diligently recently? Is there something you're hiding from us?"

Wang Yan reached out to block Yang Tao's little fist, "Mom, you really have fiery eyes. It's not that Taozi and eldest sister are both pregnant? They can't eat this, they can't drink that. We both have good appetites, so isn't it just going out together to satisfy our cravings?"

Su Qing nodded, "Auntie, it's true, we both have too many taboos about eating."

Xue Sumei rolled her eyes at him, "Then you're fine, you're someone who doesn't do anything, it's understandable to accompany our Taozi at home all day. Then Xifeng, what's wrong with you? Accompanying clients to restaurants outside every day, why are you still craving?"

Duan Xifeng, who thought Wang Yan was confused and was going to tell the truth, let out a long breath and said, "Auntie, where is that eating? That's purely drinking. The little bit of food I ate was all vomited, and my tongue was numb from drinking, so how could I still know the taste?"

"Oh, it sounds so pitiful." Xue Sumei turned to the kitchen and took two glasses of water, "Honey water, warm, drink it to sober up. You said you were eating, why are you still drinking?"

Wang Yan said thank you and reached out to take the water, "A little drink is pleasant, if I don't drink, I always feel something is missing."

Yang Tao reached out and poked him, "You only know how to drink."

"You're not unaware, my drinking capacity is huge."

"Yes, yes, yes, your drinking capacity is huge, drink your water quickly."

"Perfunctory?"

Xue Sumei hurriedly called a stop, "Alright, you two, what are you doing? If you want to snuggle, go home and snuggle."

Yang Tao giggled and poked Wang Yan beside her, "Did you hear? Drink water quickly, it's time, go home and sleep..."

Wang Yan drank the water in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said, "Leaving, Mom, the road conditions are good at night, it will take more than half an hour to drive back." While speaking, he nodded to Su Qing and Duan Xifeng on the side.

"Go, go." Xue Sumei urged worriedly, "That Taozi, drive slowly."

"Got it, Mom, we're leaving."

The two changed their shoes, went downstairs, drove, drove onto the main road, merged into the traffic, and went home...

With Duan Xifeng's matter resolved, life returned to calm. Besides his daily copying of materials and photography when going out with Yang Tao, Wang Yan also started learning wedding dress design with Yang Tao, which could be considered killing time. Not to mention cultivating common hobbies with Yang Tao, catering to her preferences, and enhancing their relationship, it could also be useful when looking for a partner in the future. And what woman who wants to get married can refuse a wedding dress carefully designed and hand-made by her marriage partner? There could be a few tricks...

Moreover, he himself had a foundation; he had contact with painting, design, and so on. Counting his mental strength and the learning ability he had cultivated for hundreds of years, it wasn't a big problem, and it was even very easy.

However, the calm days didn't last long. A few days later, on an ordinary day when Wang Yan took Yang Tao to eat at her mother's house, the whole family, including Duan Xifeng, sat at the dinner table and had just started eating.

Xue Sumei looked at her daughter and son-in-law unhappily, "Today I went to attend the birthday of an old colleague and good sister's grandson. At the dinner table, that Lan Caiping started fighting with me. You say, why didn't you tell me when you knew about Weiwei's matter? I was still angry at her there, and she exploded directly."

Yang Tao looked at Wang Yan and asked with her big eyes blinking, "Really started fighting?"

"That's right, I was bragging about Wang Yan there, saying when their family's Weiwei's partner was getting married, and she slammed the table at me directly. Said I was acting, said I wanted to make her look ugly, wanted to see her make a fool of herself. You say I didn't have any precautions, I didn't even know what she was talking about, I was too innocent. Later, she said it herself, saying Weiwei broke up with someone and even had a miscarriage. You say you didn't tell me before, making me so passive."

Yang Tao smiled awkwardly, "We didn't think this was a good thing, so we didn't tell you."

"We have been friends for so many years, I know what's good or bad? Really, I don't want to talk about you two." Xue Sumei let out a long breath and poked her chopsticks, "Alright, it happened anyway, let's eat."

"Hey, Auntie, your momentum was really strong just now, we didn't dare to speak." Duan Xifeng picked up his bowl with a smile and put some food for his wife, and started eating.

"What momentum is strong? Am I a shrew?"

Su Qing hurriedly made up for it, "No, Auntie, Xifeng just said you have a deterrent force on us juniors."

Xue Sumei glared at her daughter and son-in-law, "Just these two people, didn't say a word, causing me to make a fool of myself. Where is the deterrent force, it's their guilty conscience."

Yang Tao couldn't help but stick out her tongue and changed the subject, "Mom, tell us what happened later? What happened later?"

"I was just about to say." Xue Sumei couldn't hide her smile, "After we finished arguing, how could we still eat? She got up and left, so I couldn't rest assured, and I was also in the wrong, so I apologized to her. She didn't ignore me at all and told me to stay away from her. I definitely couldn't let her go like that, what if something happened and it all had to be blamed on me, right?"

Everyone nodded together, giving her face.

"So, I secretly followed behind her, just afraid that something would happen to her. Finally, she went to the place where Zhuang Yan worked. When I arrived, I just happened to see her making a scene and hitting people there. Could I just watch? It just happened that I went out in the morning and bought eggs at the entrance of the residential area, so I threw them at him. You don't know, my throwing was very accurate, from so far away, I watched them hit him."

"Ah?" Yang Tao subconsciously looked at Wang Yan, didn't get a response, and then turned to look at her own mother, "You saw that Li... Zhuang Yan? You saw him?"

"Saw him." Xue Sumei thought for a while, "Also didn't see him, just saw the back of his head."

Yang Tao let out a long breath.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Xue Sumei was strange, "What's wrong? Is there something?"

Yang Tao waved her hands repeatedly and laughed, "No, no, you threw them with eggs?"

"Ah, that's right. I tell you, if he hadn't run fast, I would definitely have thrown his face full of flowers." Xue Sumei ate her food with a smile, looking at her daughter's absent-minded appearance, "Is there any problem?"

"No, I'm just curious what he looks like."

"Just like someone who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces."

Su Qing said, "Actually, this child, sometimes can change a man's decision, is it possible that she doesn't even know it herself?"

Wang Yan looked at Duan Xifeng, who was looking as usual and putting food for Su Qing. This should be heard by him; it was the child who held him.

Yang Tao waved her hand, "I don't know either, didn't ask."

"Hey, if you ask me, it's just that she doesn't have that life, not everyone can climb high branches." Xue Sumei sighed, "You say Weiwei is so old now, and now she has had a miscarriage. If she can't get pregnant in the future, what should she do? It's a sin. It's just that Taozi has a good life, finding such a good man as Wang Yan, you two must live a good life."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't give you a chance to hack me with a kitchen knife." Wang Yan put a chopstick of food for his mother-in-law, "You have such a rich experience today, you must be tired, eat more, and replenish well."
