Chapter 203: Children

The next words aren't for kids to hear; let's go back, take a bath and sleep, okay?

No!

【Why can't I listen? This is unfair!】

Su Yu instantly forgets to ask why they are silent, and instead clings tightly to Xu Mingyue, refusing to let go.

Xu Mingyue also holds Su Yu, not letting go, "Letting her listen isn't a big deal; it's not bad for a child to know a bit more, at least she won't be so easy to fool!"

Su Yu nods vigorously, "Grandma's right!"

【Always letting Wulongcha eavesdrop, how troublesome!】

Su Xi also thinks that always having Ji Yan eavesdrop on Su Yu's thoughts is quite troublesome!

"Let her listen!"

"Long live the eldest uncle!"

Ji Yan has no choice but to sit back in her original seat.

【Yes, Grandpa's words aren't wrong. Qin Zhenzhong is old now, and he lacks the ruthless decisiveness of his youth! Breaking Qin Yuanjun's leg and mangling his face, so that Guan Xianxian can take care of him for half a year—whether it's love of money or love of a person, it's true love, just making do like this!】

When Qin Zhenzhong's thoughts are all on the children, even if he wanted to intervene in Qin Yuanjun's matter, the Yang Family wouldn't let him. The Yang Family could persuade Qin Zhenzhong to make such a decision only by being ruthless, giving up some benefits to the Qin Family. The Yang Family is betting on blood ties and kinship. The Qin Family and the Yang Family didn't have a good relationship before; it was only because both households had the same love‑obsessed mindset, were mocked by the circle, and were ostracized into each other.

"Shi Xu said it like this!"

Wulongcha is also curious, 【I'll check it out!】

Ji Tianlin is also confused; he has to handle company affairs and is busy with his daughter's recognition banquet, and he has no idea what the Qin Family is doing!

Regardless of the Qin Family's intentions, dealing with Qin Yuanjun now? Ji Yan doesn't want to let the family become passive just to vent a bit of resentment. She also doesn't want to return to the entertainment circle for the time being. The chances that anyone is after her because of her talent are zero percent, while the chances they're after her because of that hype are one hundred percent. Moreover, Su Yi hasn't finished rehabilitation, and she doesn't feel comfortable leaving Su Yi alone.

Using the most unsuitable method, to force his father to accept a woman of questionable character!

【Stubborn? That's stupid!】

Xu Mingyue: "This, try it, seems to work?"

If Qin Yuanjun and Guan Xianxian react slowly, not only will their child be unrelated to the Qin Family's assets, even Qin Yuanjun himself won't be able to return to the Qin Family.

The Yang Family cannot let this happen!

【Ah, how did they conceive? Isn't Qin Yuanjun a lifelong suck‑up? And Yang Ruoning is in prison!】

"Brother‑in‑law, it's truly a broken heart; I don't care about Xiao Jun anymore."

Su Xi continues his topic, "Now only a few bribed marketing accounts are still slandering me and my younger sibling. If the younger sibling doesn't return to the entertainment circle in the short term, cold‑handling is the best strategy. If Uncle Qin really intends to have a few grandchildren, then matters concerning Qin Yuanjun can wait until after the child is born."

"That child, too stubborn!"

"Brother‑in‑law's heart is too soft; the outside world probably won't believe he doesn't care about Xiao Jun!"

If Qin Yuanjun returns and marries again to have a child, the Yang Family's scheme will fall apart!

"This, the Yang Family's little girl, she's so strong‑willed! Can she agree?"

Ji Tianlin: "Um, that wasn't my original intention!"

Xu Mingyue: "This child, spouting such blatant truths!"

Xu Mingyue also likes Ji Tianlin a lot, but they haven't divorced all these years, not because of love, but because she hasn't found her Jia Jia yet. Now Jia Jia has returned to her side; if the family brings it up, or the Ji Family makes her angry, she is also willing to divorce Ji Tianlin.

Su Xi pauses, "Uncle Qin has already cooperated with the Yang Family to have Qin Yuanjun and Yang Ruoning bear a child; the outside world should believe it!"

"I won't go back for now; I need to accompany Su Yi for rehabilitation!"

Su Yi shows a happy smile; the reverse‑woman has a saying that's correct: her husband just loves her!

"Mom, do you want to go back to work? If you're not going because you're uneasy about Dad, I can stay with him! Rest assured!"

Ji Yan: "Then I'm even more uneasy!"

"I don't want to; staying at home is fine!"

"Alright!"

【Fortunately Mom doesn't want to; otherwise I'd have to watch Dad, and it'd be better to go to work!】

Ji Yan: "…I knew!"

Su Yi: "Rebel girl, get lost; who cares about you watching!"

【Host, in this world's system file, Yang Ruoning is already dead!】

【What? How could Yang Ruoning be dead? Isn't she still supposed to have a child with Qin Yuanjun?】

How can someone dead have a child, or was she swapped out?

【Yes, she's in a private hospital, using a false identity, undergoing surgery to bear two children for her deceased husband.】

【Does she consent to bear them herself? Or two!】

【Yang Ruoning wants freedom and money; both the Yang Family and the Qin Family want children. So she trades childbirth for her freedom and a large sum of money!】

【If Yang Ruoning only has one child, how would the Qin Family and the Yang Family divide it? If it's a boy and a girl, which family wants the boy, which wants the girl?】

【Based on the goods the Qin Family and Yang Family have procured, the Qin Family wants a boy, while the Yang Family is fine with either gender.】

【If they're all girls, does the Qin Family not want them?】

【Unknown, couldn't find their agreement; it was probably a paper version!】

Su Yu comes to herself, glances at the family discussing TV news, and then refocuses on chatting with Wulongcha.

【Is Yang Ruoning not afraid that after she has a child, the person she wants won't want her? And does Qin Yuanjun know he's about to become a father? Does Yang Ruoning really intend to give up the Yang Family's power and money?】

【Qin Yuanjun knows this could cause a huge uproar, but Yang Ruoning is already prepared; in one to two months she will be pregnant.】

【A whole year, and Yang Ruoning really can be that ruthless. Her parents aren't denying her freedom. However, since the Yang Family has teamed up with the Qin Family, our family can't confront the Yang Family; before retaliation, the Yang Family secretly helped the Chu Family target us for revenge!】

Wulongcha also thinks it's a pity!

【The Yang Family may have thought of that, which is why they cooperated with the Qin Family.】

Su Xi doesn't think it's a loss; having one fewer enemy is better than more. When the Qin Family and the Yang Family focus on raising the child, he just needs to make the mastermind suffer!

……

The Su Family gained another marital tie, and Qingshan's development speed increased a lot.

Su Xi and Su Yu no longer have weekend rest time; they work overtime at the company every day.

Liang Yan followed Zhu Xueheng over to play and, puzzled, asked, "Little sister Xiao Yu, dad said this is your second weekend of overtime; aren't you tired?"

"Not tired!"

【I'm the one who's tired—my big uncle!】

"Why don't you rest at home on weekends? Do you also have to work?"

Liang Yan also went to the company, but she found that she couldn't understand anything. She also didn't get why Su Yu was so busy at the company.

"Not really needed, but I can help my big uncle!"

【At home I'm at odds with dad; he inexplicably dislikes me, and I don't like him either. I don't want to make mom uncomfortable, so I come to the company! Where can you find such a sensible child like me!】

"I can't even help!"

Liang Yan felt a bit discouraged!

"But you go to school! We're helping the family from different places!"

"Going to school counts as helping too?"

"Mm‑hm!"

【If you grow up well, you'll be a huge help to your dad and mom! You're the most important link that holds that family together!】

Su Xi heard that and felt uneasy, "You usually send several people to protect Liang Yan, yet you're just a child!"

"Alright! I will! I came today to ask you, have you received the Ji Family's engagement banquet invitation?"

This is a normal update up to this point—go get some sleep, the next update will be tomorrow!

Good night, darlings~
