Chapter 1995: Be More Sincere in Your Attitude

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I shouldn't have questioned you." Ming Lun finally lowered his noble head.

"Be more sincere in your attitude." An'er's face darkened slightly; he was already somewhat displeased.

In the past, Ming Lun had never dared to defy his words, but in recent years, as he gradually gained power, was he actually starting to ignore his words too?

An'er had always been wary of Ming Lun; after all, he was not his own biological son.

Seeing Ming Lun like this now made An'er even more displeased. He pondered taking back some of this fellow's power later, lest he become lawless in the future.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen." Ming Lun's voice rose a little.

"Kneel." An'er was furious. He could see that this fellow was throwing a tantrum, and he couldn't help but be enraged.

Ming Lun's expression changed, but in the end, he still knelt down.

"Mr. Chen told you to get up, then you get up; otherwise, just stay kneeling here." An'er said coldly, "What I am looking for is a successor, not someone with a rebellious bone."

"If you feel that I cannot accommodate you here, you can leave at any time. I don't think it's that hard to find a successor."

Ming Lun was startled. He immediately put away his proud demeanor from just a moment ago. He knelt respectfully on the ground and prostrated himself before Chen Yu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I shouldn't have questioned you just now."

"Mr. Chen, a young person's temper should be tempered a bit. I am truly sorry." An'er hurriedly apologized to Chen Yu.

"Heh, I know, you are still unconvinced." Chen Yu stood up slowly and walked to his side: "But your father is absolutely right; a young person's temper needs to be properly tempered, otherwise, it's easy to get carried away."

"I'll remember that." Ming Lun gritted his teeth and lowered his head to Chen Yu.

"You may leave." An'er's face darkened; he could tell that this fellow was still unconvinced.

But who was Chen Yu? If he really provoked Chen Yu, I'm afraid no one could truly protect him.

Although Ming Lun was extremely unhappy, he had no choice. He could only glare at Chen Yu with hatred before turning and leaving.

However, Chen Yu knew that this fellow must already hate him; after all, before he arrived, he was the most powerful person besides An'er.

Now, he seemed to be depriving him of his power a little.

In fact, he didn't see it clearly; no matter how much An'er valued him, he was nothing more than an adopted son.

And the reason An'er gave him these things was not because he really wanted him to be his successor, but simply to cultivate a Puppet for himself.

It's just a pity that this Puppet had a bit of ability and a bit of brains, but precisely because of that, he didn't quite recognize his own status.

"Ye, please don't be angry. Ming Lun isn't a difficult person to deal with; it's just his personality," Aili said with a smile.

"I know, such a person is a good person." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Aili still couldn't see through these things, which was no wonder; she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper and had no idea what kind of schemes were running through Ming Lun's mind.

But anyone with even a little bit of awareness would know that the current Ming Lun was trying to find ways to gradually break free from An'er's control.

This was a very dangerous thing. Once he gained control of certain things, the first thing he would do was to thoroughly kill An'er and take control of everything he had.

"I knew you weren't the type to be petty." Aili laughed happily.

The banquet went quite smoothly. When the feast was over, Chen Yu and Aili walked out together to stroll through the garden.

And at this moment, the two encountered Ming Lun again.

Of course, encountering Ming Lun was no accident; it was something this fellow had deliberately manufactured.

He had changed into a crisp suit. Unlike those who had been through many battles, this fellow looked more like a pretty boy.

He was wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers, looking very gentlemanly. He bowed slightly: "My dear Miss Aili, this flower is for you."

"Thank you, Ming Lun." Xueli nodded slightly. She took the flowers from Ming Lun's hand and sniffed them gently at her nose: "A very pleasant fragrance."

"Heh, I prepared this flower especially for you; it suits your temperament very well." Ming Lun smiled, then looked at Chen Yu: "Sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't prepare a gift for you."

"It's fine, I don't care about such things." Chen Yu smiled faintly and looked at Ming Lun: "Am I affecting you two by being here?"

"Not at all." Aili held Chen Yu's arm and said: "This is your home; it's not surprising for you to appear anywhere, how could it affect anyone else?"

When Aili said this, a trace of displeasure clearly appeared on Ming Lun's face, but this fellow masked it well, and he quickly hid the unhappiness on his face.

"Chen, you come from Huaxia. That is also a place I like very much. It has a very long history and a very rich historical and cultural atmosphere." Ming Lun said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I must go to Huaxia to experience the different customs and culture there."

"I would be very happy to welcome you." Chen Yu said faintly: "It's just that the five thousand years of history and culture in Huaxia are truly too vast; I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it all in a short while."

"Oh, is that so?" Ming Lun narrowed his eyes: "I learn things very quickly. Perhaps it won't take long before I have everything about your place figured out."

"You really aren't humble at all." Chen Yu glanced at him and then smiled: "I think I'd better leave. Aili, Ming Lun should have something to say to you."

"What could there be that can't be said in front of Chen Yu?" Aili was somewhat confused: "Ming Lun, do you have something to say to me?"

"Yes, Aili, I have something to say to you." Ming Lun hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Then just say it directly. Chen Yu is my best friend; he is not an outsider." Aili said with a smile: "Is there anything you need to hide from him? He is a member of our household now."

"Some things can only be said to you alone." Ming Lun pondered for a moment.

"What exactly is it?" Aili became serious. Even though she didn't have much of a mind for such things, she felt that Ming Lun was acting a bit strange today; he seemed to have something he wanted to say.

"This..." Ming Lun glanced at Chen Yu.

"I don't think you were someone who stuttered in the past." Aili was getting impatient: "Speak, what exactly is the matter?"

"I'll step aside." Chen Yu smiled.

"No need to step aside." Aili grabbed Chen Yu's arm: "You are not an outsider, why would you need to step aside?"
