Ever since the First Madam died, the Yan Family has been temporarily managed by the Second Madam! And both the Second and Third Young Masters are her sons!

Yan Qinghan’s words seemed to be aimed at instigating a rift between them and the Second Madam, making her believe they thought the Second and Third Young Masters were worthless and incompetent!

This Yan Qinghan, his mouth is really sharp and annoying!

They originally wanted to snap back at him, but surprisingly, not only did they fail, he even turned the tables on them!

"Oh come on! No need to explain, everyone knows what’s really going on!" Saying this, he cheekily winked at them!

Seeing that they wouldn’t stop talking, the Second Madam couldn’t hold back and shouted, "Enough!!"

The Yan Mother gently tugged at Yan Qinghan’s clothes, cautiously saying, "Qinghan, let it go, don’t say anymore! Second Sis and Fifth Sis didn’t mean any harm, they were just joking!"

Yan Qinghan gently patted the Yan Mother’s hand, smiling and soothingly said, "Mom, don’t worry, I was just joking with them too!"

The Second Madam maintained a stern face and said seriously, "Sixth Sister, Qinghan, Nuannuan, on such a big day, you should be greeting the guests, not just standing here chatting!"

Yan Qinghan pointed at Mu Beiting and the others, and said matter-of-factly, "Aren’t I entertaining the guests? They’re our esteemed guests, we can’t neglect them!"

"You...!" The Second Madam’s face turned red with anger at Yan Qinghan’s blunt retort.

Seeing the Second Madam so flustered by Yan Qinghan, the Yan Mother quietly scolded, "Qinghan, don’t talk back to your Second Mom!"

Yan Qinghan asserted, "I’m not talking back! Beiting, Xingchen, Junmo, and Qingshi, they’re my invited guests. If Brother doesn’t entertain them, I have to do it myself! Or does Second Mom want me to neglect them to entertain someone else?"

"This...!" With Yan Qinghan’s reasoning, the Yan Mother found that he made sense!

Though the Second Madam was fuming, she had no outlet for her anger!

Because Yan Qinghan was right, Mu Beiting, Gu Xingchen, Huo Junmo, and Xiang Qingshi are the famous Jin City Four Young Masters. While other guests might be overlooked, they definitely cannot be!

If the other young masters had been asked to entertain them, they certainly wouldn’t have been willing. Only Yan Qinghan himself could do it!

So, after a verbal sparring match, the Second Madam, Fifth Madam, Seventh Madam, and Eighth Madam were clearly at a disadvantage!

The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward for a moment!

"Since that’s the case, you can continue entertaining them here!" Saying this, the Second Madam looked at the Yan Mother, her face serious and sternly said, "Let Qinghan handle this on his own! You come with me to greet the other guests!"

"..!" Just as the Yan Mother was about to nod in agreement, Ling Yueyue suddenly stood up, proactively took the Yan Mother’s arm, squinting with a forced smile, "Second Madam, sorry, I would like Aunt to entertain me personally! After chatting with Aunt earlier, I feel we’re practically kindred spirits, getting along so well! So, I wish for Aunt to stay, Second Madam, you don’t mind, do you?"

As soon as Ling Yueyue finished speaking, Yan Qinghan quickly gave her a thumbs up secretly.

"She...?" The Second Madam frowned, looking at the Yan Mother with obvious displeasure in her eyes.

"Yes! Is that not okay? We’re guests too, right! Whether entertaining others or me, it’s all entertaining! Look at us, there are eight in our group, Yan Qinghan and Nuannuan can’t handle it all! Although it’s my first time meeting Aunt today, I feel we really hit it off, so I’d like to chat more with her! Is there a problem with that?" Ling Yueyue raised her chin high, blatantly challenging the Second Madam.

Seeing this, the Second Madam gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Since Mrs. Huo says so, how can we not agree! Then let Sixth Sister stay and accompany you! We’ll be going now!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue smiled widely, "Thank you, Second Madam!"

"Let’s go!" The Second Madam coldly glanced at the three women beside her and turned to leave.

The Fifth Madam, Seventh Madam, and Eighth Madam gave unwilling glances to the Yan Mother and Yan Qinghan, and quickly turned to catch up with the Second Madam, the Fifth Madam complained, "Second Sister, why did you let Sixth Sister stay? That woman was obviously doing it on purpose?"

The Second Madam glared fiercely at the Fifth Madam, "And even if you know she’s doing it on purpose, so what? What can you do to her? She’s Mrs. Huo, an esteemed guest, even if we offend all the other guests, we can’t offend her! I told you not to come earlier, but you insisted on coming, now you’ve brought this on yourself! Serves you right!"

After being chastised by the Second Madam, the Fifth Madam’s face flushed red, she lowered her head, gritting her teeth, too angry to speak!

Once they were far away, the Yan Mother couldn’t help but say, "Mrs. Huo, you didn’t have to do that! Even if you kept me here now, when the guests leave, they will still make things difficult for me!"

Ling Yueyue asked in confusion, "Aunt, with Yan Qinghan now in charge of Yan Country Group, you really don’t need to fear them. Why be so cautious around them! You shouldn’t let them walk all over you! Some people are like that, they only pick on those who seem weak!"

The Yan Mother sighed and said helplessly, "Ah! Sisters for life, why bother! Besides, they just have sharp tongues, otherwise they’re not so bad! Just endure it, and it’ll pass!"

"Damn...!" Hearing the Yan Mother’s words, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but pull Ye Anxin over, angrily saying, "Anxin, doesn’t Aunt remind you of someone?"

Ye Anxin blinked and asked puzzledly, "What are you trying to say?"

Ling Yueyue couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "Don’t you think Aunt is exactly like your mom? Both have pushover personalities!"

"...!" Ye Anxin froze for a moment, glaring at Ling Yueyue, then walked over to Yan Mother’s side, smiled and said, "Aunt, Yueyue’s just like that, speaks her mind! But she’s right, with Mr. Yan’s position in the family now, you really don’t need to be so submissive! If you continue like this, they will just think you’re easy to bully!"

At this point, Yan Qinghan couldn’t help interjecting, "Ay! What you are saying is all nonsense! A person’s personality is determined at birth! My mom has always been cautious and careful her whole life; it’s ingrained! You can’t change it! Besides, if it weren’t for her personality, who knows if we would have made it this far! Everything is interconnected!"

Ye Anxin nodded, agreeing, "That’s true! My mom has the same personality; she’s always been like that!"

"Qinghan, you entertain them! I’m going to find Second Sister!" Since knowing that the Second Madam had left angry, the Yan Mother had been restless!
