Chapter 1675: After Hooking Up with the Rank-One Top, I Got Entangled by a Yandere 23

He Chulin was invited into Zhuang Yuan by several elders who held real power in the Jin Family; all Jin family members were summoned back to hold a meeting, and guests who didn't want to leave and just wanted to gossip waited for news in the garden.

Of course, Jin Chen also went in to show his face, after closely observing Jin Xiao's fear he leisurely left to go play with his wife.

Not even half an hour later, word came from inside that Jin San would not become the new head of the Jin Family, and they would select someone else.

Originally, it was even less possible for the younger generation's Jin Xiao.

Now that several clans had helped Jin San quite a bit, they began to feel uneasy, especially the Liu Family.

These years the Liu Family has always been on a downward slope; only by relying on the Jin Family could they barely avoid being eliminated. Who would have thought that the firmly entrenched family head could still make a mistake!

"Maybe the next family head will be Jin Chen," Liu Qin happily guessed, "If that's the case, then if I keep pursuing Jin Chen, would my parents support me?"

Liu Mu frowned, "But Jin Chen already has a boyfriend, that's not good."

"Tch, just because of him? I've investigated— that guy named Jiang Sui is just a broken manga artist, full of problems, who knows when he'll die; I don't believe I can't outdo him."

Liu Qin didn't take this matter to heart at all, "Brother, I'm going to go play with Jin Chen, remember to tell Mom and Dad."

He had already prepared.

Originally I planned to wait until the Jin family head's title was settled before sneaking out to find Jin Chen, but I didn't expect there would be this surprise.

This might just be the best opportunity.

Liu Qin couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile, finding Jin Chen by the south wall of the garden; before he could call out, he saw that annoying sickly cling again wanting Jin Chen to hold him.

Jiang Sui caught a glimpse of a person who shouldn't be there out of the corner of his eye; the flick of his gaze was sharp and piercing, then he leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, his voice hoarse, full of infinite fragility.

"I'm tired, I want to sleep……"

His recent tendency to often feel drowsy and half-asleep had improved considerably, but today he'd been out for a long time; Jin Chen thought he must be tired too, so he embraced his somewhat recovered waist and said, "Go rest in my room for a while."

"Can we rest right here?" Jiang Sui looked at the nearby swing set, which was quiet and spacious enough; apparently it was prepared for children in the old residence.

In Jin Chen's memory, Jin Xiao rarely came here; when they were young, Jin Xue actually liked this place a lot.

"Hmm, not dirty."

"Okay."

Jin Chen agreed, holding his frail lover in the swing chair; they were so well matched that even the carved-in embrace fit just right, enough to counter Jiang Sui's resistance to the outside world.

Jiang Sui wasn't really sleepy; after sitting down he became restless again, rubbing his cheek against Jin Chen's neck, then lifting his head to ask for a kiss—the trembling tone when kissed sounded like some kind of victory prelude.

Liu Qin was so angry his whole body trembled, just short of shouting "shameless!"

He stormed off, calling the household servant to bring over the things prepared earlier.

After all, they'd been friends for several years; Liu Qin knew Jin Chen's overly strong sense of duty— as long as they became intimate, given their years of relationship, he didn't believe Jin Chen could remain indifferent.

——

Jin Chen couldn't rest for long; perhaps the internal family meeting inside had produced a new result, as the servant hurried over to summon him, saying the aunt had something to discuss.

"I want to sleep a bit," Jiang Sui said, not going with Jin Chen, continuing to curl in the chair, merely extending his arm to hook Jin Chen's neck and plant a kiss, "Please come back early, okay."

"Okay, I guess I'll just go hear the result." Jin Chen took off his coat to cover him, "I'll have someone stay here."

"Mm…" Jiang Sui gave him an obedient smile, soft and pretty.

The servant obeyed, standing guard at the entrance of the vine flower thicket, watching the drowsy Jiang Sui.

But less than two minutes after Jin Chen left, Jiang Sui draped himself in his coat and wanted to leave, whispering, "I'm going to go play with Jin Xue; you don't need to follow."

"Okay." The servant, unsuspecting, left the spot.

Jiang Sui glanced with the corner of his eye toward the spot where Liu Qin had just stood, a flick of mockery and killing intent crossing his pupils.

In the side hall of Zhuang Yuan, Jin Xue's mother stood sternly at the door in a black cheongsam; seeing Jin Chen enter, she softened her gaze, "I thought you didn't even want to see Aunt."

"What are you talking about? I'm here." Jin Chen walked over leisurely, glancing at the tightly shut meeting room door, "Whether the new family head has been chosen, or Jin Xiao and Jin San have finally been beaten up."

"It's me asking you— this is the last chance; you really don't want to be the family head? This is something your father once dreamed of."

Jin Xue's mother still recalls the second brother's vigorous spirit back then; the antique world has been spreading word that a genius finally appeared, and it just so happens to be the Jin Family that has carried on to this day.

Jin Chen leaned lazily against the wall, arms crossed, casually saying, "He just cared too much, so being backstabbed by his own brother left him completely clueless, stuck in the game he became expendable cannon fodder."

"And you? Since you let go early, you only want to do what you like, unwilling to get involved with antiques at all?"

"Auntie understands me pretty well, doesn't she?" Jin Chen chuckled, "Let me congratulate you in advance on becoming the new family head."

Jin Xue's mother shook her head, watching Jin Chen leave without reluctance, subconsciously touching the ancient jade hairpin that bound her hair.

That was a gift from Jin Chen's mother to her; over the years she felt she hadn't protected this nephew well, but fortunately Jin Chen grew into the form he liked, which wasn't bad either.

As for the remaining matters……

Her gaze hardened, and she turned to enter the meeting room.

Having lived most of her life under the shadow of the elders, she could finally stop being a follower and stop obeying those ridiculous rules.

Jin Chen left by another path, preparing to pick two winter roses for his wife, when he suddenly heard a few whispers.

【Yo! The protagonist top is scheming something bad!】 Ling Gun Gun warned, 【Host, hurry to stop.】

Jiang3 sui1 had been behaving himself for most of the day; it turned out he was waiting here.

Jin Chen approached slowly, and the few people who were whispering conspiratorially, Jiang3 sui1 among them, were separated by a row of rose bushes.

"No matter how evil Jiang Sui may be, he's just a sickly weakling without bodyguards— worthless. While Jin Chen's away, we'll drag him out; there's no surveillance in this manor, so who'd know who did it?"

Jiang3 sui1's tone was sinister, "Otherwise I just couldn't swallow this anger."

They even made a sickly weakling with one foot in the grave perform a move!

"Fine, let's do that." The few people around him were all drinking buddies who played together; how could they refuse?

Jin Chen bent down, turned his head to look at him, his tone lighter than the breeze blowing by.

"How about adding me too?"
