Because when mother gets angry, it’s really terrifying! Every time she gets mad, father and I can only stand aside silently and watch!

Seeing his precious daughter looking all timid and afraid to disobey, Yan Qinghan crouched down, lovingly patted her little head, and gently comforted, "Chuxia, don’t be upset! Today is your grandpa’s event. When we have time another day, I’ll take you to see brother Xiao Bai, okay?"

After hearing his words, Yan Chuxia not only didn’t cheer up but pouted, saying disdainfully, "I don’t believe you. You always say that but never take me to see brother Xiao Bai. You’re just lying to me!"

"...!" Facing Yan Chuxia’s accusation, Yan Qinghan’s throat choked for a moment, and he couldn’t utter a single word for quite a while.

Guan Nuannuan rolled her eyes at Yan Qinghan and Yan Chuxia and said with a smile, "Forget about them, I’ll take you inside!"

"Alright!" Everyone nodded with a smile, just about to follow Guan Nuannuan to the banquet hall, when they heard a sarcastic voice coming from the corridor beside them, "Husband, what kind of people are these? Ignoring the legitimate young master to play with the son of a mistress instead?"

As soon as that voice fell, another voice chimed in agreeing, "Wife, you might not know this! Do you think they would even look at this illegitimate child? In the end, isn’t he just clinging to them? The Jin City Five Young Masters, and he thinks he can join! In the end, isn’t he just shamelessly trying to insert himself in there! Otherwise... with his lowly status, what right does he have to be listed alongside the Jin City Four Young Masters?"

The first speaker laughed smugly, "Heh heh... indeed! This is someone who ’is shameless and therefore unbeatable’! Knowing his child is illegitimate, he still clings to people of high status! Truly shameless to the extreme!"

Hearing their conversation, Ye Anxin, Ling Yueyue, and Xia Yunmo all frowned at the same time!

Everyone looked towards the corridor!

There stood a woman in her fifties, heavily made up, plump in stature, dressed in regal, opulent attire replete with jewels, and a man of a similar age beside her, although dressed in a neatly pressed suit, his temples already gray, his face lined with age!

Upon closer inspection, this man bore a resemblance of thirty to forty percent to Yan Qinghan!

Ye Anxin leaned her head towards Ling Yueyue’s ear and whispered, "Who are they?"

Ling Yueyue whispered back, "They are Yan Qinghan’s elder brother Yan Minghao and sister-in-law Li Chunhua!"

"Elder brother and sister-in-law?" Ye Anxin raised her eyebrows, initially surprised, then recalled Yan Qinghan’s status, and the surprise in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Ling Yueyue quickly whispered again, "Yes! These two are so annoying, they’re old enough to be Yan Qinghan’s parents but totally disrespectful!"

Ye Anxin pursed her lips, about to say something, but then saw the two people who had been standing in the corridor walking towards them, so she quickly shut her mouth, too afraid to say anything lest they heard.

Yan Qinghan seemed completely indifferent to what they’d just said, squinting his eyes, smiling as he greeted them, "Big brother, big sister-in-law!"

Guan Nuannuan followed suit and called out, "Big brother, big sister-in-law!"

After both Yan Qinghan and Guan Nuannuan had greeted them, Yan Chuxia alone kept her mouth shut, with an expression of disgust, and refused to say a word!

Yan Minghao and Li Chunhua frowned immediately upon noticing Yan Chuxia’s silent and defiant demeanor and were about to lose their temper when Guan Nuannuan quickly spoke with a smile, "Big brother, big sister-in-law, sorry, Chuxia is a timid child and gets scared when there’s a crowd!" With that, she hastily held Yan Chuxia’s hand and gently said, "Chuxia, quickly call them uncle and aunt!"

Yan Chuxia pouted, emotionally declared, "I don’t want to! I hate them! They’re all bad people!"

Upon hearing Yan Chuxia, Yan Minghao’s face immediately darkened, "Fourth brother, is this the kind of well-mannered daughter you’ve raised? Truly lacking in upbringing!"

Li Chunhua immediately laughed and said, "Husband, let it go! Her father was born of a mistress, her mother from a humble family, so what kind of upbringing could you expect from a child raised in that environment! Moreover, she’s just a girl, I don’t even care if she calls me!"

Li Chunhua’s mention of "humble family" changed the expressions of Ye Anxin, Ling Yueyue, and Xia Yunmo!

Seeing their wives’ faces change, their respective husbands’ expressions darkened to the extreme!

Guan Nuannuan couldn’t help but get angry, "Sister-in-law, how can you say such things in front of a child! Chuxia is still young and doesn’t understand, you shouldn’t hold it against a child!"

Li Chunhua snorted coldly, dismissively said, "Three in five is eighty, she’s three now, isn’t she? Still young? My precious grandson is about her age and much more sensible than her!"

"Sister-in-law...!" Guan Nuannuan was furious, wanting to say more, but was stopped by Yan Qinghan!

Yan Qinghan winked at Guan Nuannuan, grinned, and said casually, "Sweetheart, if a dog bites you, would you bite back? We don’t stoop to the level of those who lack manners and upbringing!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue and Xia Yunmo couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh softly.

Yan Minghao and Li Chunhua’s faces changed immediately, Li Chunhua put her hands on her hips, angrily protested, "Yan Qinghan, who are you calling a dog? Who lacks manners and upbringing?"

"Whoever responds is who I mean!" Yan Qinghan raised an eyebrow, still wearing a smile.

"You...!" Li Chunhua was so furious, her finger trembled as she pointed at Yan Qinghan, but couldn’t speak a word for a long while from anger.

Upon seeing them angry, Yan Chuxia immediately clapped her hands happily, "Daddy is amazing, daddy is the best! They are just dogs, barking all day is so annoying!"

"You little brat!" Being publicly mocked by a little girl, Li Chunhua was livid and raised her hand intending to hit her.

Seeing her hand coming, Yan Chuxia closed her eyes in fear.

However, before her hand could touch Yan Chuxia’s little face, Yan Qinghan caught it.

Seeing this, Yan Minghao angrily shouted, "Yan Qinghan, what are you doing? How dare you lay hands on your sister-in-law?"

Yan Qinghan’s smile vanished, and he coldly glanced at Yan Minghao, then forcefully flung Li Chunhua’s wrist away, warning expressionlessly, "I’m telling you, if you dare harm Nuannuan or Chuxia, don’t blame me for being unkind! Lest you forget, the only reason you still live here is because I magnanimously choose not to argue with you! Don’t provoke me, otherwise, all of you, get lost! I mean what I say!"

"You...!" Yan Minghao and Li Chunhua were so furious that their old faces turned from blue to white, a block of resentment lodged in their chests, unbearably stuck up and down!
