I know you all too well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even raised his thumb confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re amazing, Sis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi stared at him, utterly perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is he even talking about?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Or... is he pretending to be stupid?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her silence, Yang Zhen misunderstood it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh? She’s even acting confused now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Impressive. Truly impressive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled inwardly, the curve of his smile deepening as he turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Don’t talk if you don’t want to. I’m leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi snapped out of her thoughts. Seeing that he was actually heading for the door, she asked instinctively,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not staying for dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. I’ve got an appointment with a friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows knitted together. \"You’re drinking again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t he been drunk just yesterday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhen nodded, looking a little awkward as he waved his hands in explanation. \"It’s different this time, Sis. Yesterday, we were drowning our sorrows. Today, we’re celebrating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celebrating what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My friend’s enemies finally got what they deserved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Yang Qingxi already knew who that \"friend\" was supposed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Xumao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With He Xiong dead, his ex-fiancée ruined, and himself escaping the fate of becoming a scapegoat, it reallywassomething worth celebrating—for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go then,\" she said calmly. \"But don’t cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. I’m not some kid anymore,\" Yang Zhen replied sourly before turning and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi stood there, feeling an inexplicable headache coming on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe if he really were a kid... he wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Yang Zhen walked briskly toward the waiting car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Cheng, who had been standing by, immediately straightened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, Mr Dong called a few minutes ago. Are we leaving now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Let’s go to the club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they got into the car, Yang Zhen pulled out his phone, created a group chat with his parents, and typed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Mom, Dad. Sis brought a handsome guy home. I’ve confirmed it—he’s very likely my future brother-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it took at least a few minutes for either of them to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his phone practically exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Qingxi did WHAT?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:A man?! Who?! How dare he?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhen smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Calm down, Dad. Su Mo seems like a pretty decent guy... um, probably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:Who cares if he’s decent?! Some punk dared to eye my daughter?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Dear, shut up for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:...Okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhen clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected. Dad has absolutely zero authority in front of Mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Xiao Zhen, what’s with that uncertain tone? Is he good or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:He’s easy to get along with, but his personality is a bit dark. And he has some... strange hobbies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Dark personality? That’s just like your sister. What strange hobbies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Uh... keeping fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:??? Xiao Zhen, are you saying raising fish is strange? Are you calling your mother strange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:No, Mom! You misunderstood! He’s the strange one. His archerfish are huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:How big can fish be? Enough nonsense. What’s his name?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Su Mo. I secretly took a picture of him before. Here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Hmm... he is handsome. It’s hard to believe my daughter would actually find a man herself. I must admit—she has good taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:So this is the vermin. I’ll remember that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Dear, mind your language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:Hmph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Xiao Zhen, we’ll be back soon. When that happens, we’ll have a face-to-face meeting. Looks aside, I still need to see if he’s worthy of becoming my son-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:No one is worthy of my precious daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Dear. Do you want me to repeat myself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhen grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Mom, Dad. The situation isn’t exactly what you think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:What do you mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:From what I’ve observed, they’re not a couple yet. It’s my sister’s one-sided interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Su Mo is completely clueless. Sis used underhanded tactics—appointing him as her personal bodyguard to keep him close and slowly make him fall for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:Impossible! My daughter would never lower herself to chase a man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Xiao Zhen... are you sure there’s no misunderstanding? It’s hard to imagine Qingxi acting like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Misunderstanding? Mom, have you ever seen a bodyguard wearing casual clothes during work hours? Arguing back with his employer? Zero decorum, no respect, no etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Even if some bodyguards are like that—what about my sister? Even Sister Xulin doesn’t have that level of freedom. Why would she allow it for Su Mo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:...You might be right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:Wuuuh... my precious baby... what’s so good about that stinky boy?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Dear, stop embarrassing yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Xiao Zhen, it’ll take us some time to return to Jiangnan City. Until then, I want you to keep a close eye on your sister and Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Leave it to me, Mom. The butler and maids are my eyes and ears. I’ll keep you updated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Good son. Now—what about you? What’s going on with that Su girl? Are you still chasing her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:I am... trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Still trying? How long do you plan to drag this out? Even your sister is more efficient than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:I know. That’s why I asked her for advice... but she didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mom]:Is that so? Wait until I get back. We’ll uncover all her methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yang Zhen]:Yes, Mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad]:Hmph. I also want to see what kind of thing that boy is, stealing my daughter’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi was oblivious to the fact that her little brother had created a major misunderstanding behind her back. Nor did she know her parents were planning to come back to Jiangnan City with their own agendas. One to see her prospective son-in-law. The other is to clean the vermin around his precious little princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was on her way towards the back garden, attracted by the noise coming from there.\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-02T12:20:51.810Z",1,"novelbin.me","74542e4e49c5dcedb8f6d168d43ccc32c799e917c18edefe44f242878b09dbe5","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-55","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-53",240,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-cover.jpg"]
