Chapter 185 I Know He Has No Good Intentions
Lin Anyi’s hobby is not only flower arranging, but also fish raising.
He only found out today that Xu Qingran had a small "aquarium" at his home in City A, where he kept several species of deep-sea fish in the 300-square-meter basement.
Ye Yan had broadened his horizons. He didn't understand the hobbies of rich people. He heard that even seawater had to be transported with money, and it took dozens of trucks at a time. Just thinking about it made Ye Yan feel that it was better not to raise fish.
"Are you sure your mother didn't trick me into coming here to teach me a lesson?"
Ye Yan asked again before entering the door. It was not that he was narrow-minded, but the possibility of such a thing happening was too great.
Not only did he think so, even Xu Qingran felt a little unconfident after hearing his question.
"Why think so much? Just remember, I will always stand by you. If she dares to go back on her word, I will elope with you."
Xu Qingran hooked his fingers together, moved closer to him and began to express his loyalty again, though his words were a bit rough. It was only thanks to his artistic face that Ye Yan did not accuse him of being a pawnshop owner.
"You'd better keep your word. Anyway, if she dares to intimidate me, I won't be polite."
"Don't worry, she'll definitely be happy to receive the jellyfish today. If she's in a good mood, she won't get upset. Let's go in."
It sounded reasonable, and Ye Yan felt relieved for the time being. Finally, she tidied her clothes and followed Xu Qingran into the house.
I have to say that Xu Qingran’s villa is really big. A stranger would get lost if he entered. The decoration is in a steady business style. It can be seen that the owner has good taste. Ye Yan guessed that this is all Lin Anyi’s aesthetic.
Putting aside her work style, Lin Anyi can be considered a stunning beauty among the wives of wealthy families, otherwise she would not have given birth to a son of such high quality as Xu Qingran.
He had a lot of nannies at home. As soon as he entered the living room, a housekeeper came forward to bow and greet him, inviting him to sit in the leisure area to drink tea, which made Ye Yan feel a little restrained.
He thought to himself, is this a wealthy family? No wonder Lin Anyi looked down on him. In some way, he suddenly understood Lin Anyi. Such a huge family business would be lost without a successor in Xu Qingran's hands. He would also feel it was a pity if it were him.
No, how could I empathize with the "enemy"? Ye Yan stopped thinking about herself in time.
That’s not the case. Xu Qingran’s parents opposed them not simply for Xu Qingran’s own good, but for the sake of face.
Destroying his son's happiness with his own hands just to save face is cruel and selfish. How can he understand such a cruel and selfish person?
"Uncle Wang, where are my parents?" Xu Qingran asked the housekeeper. Ye Yan sat down without hesitation. Anyway, no one came out yet, so she couldn't just stand and wait.
"The chairman is upstairs, and his wife is in the kitchen preparing lunch. Oh, and we have guests today, too. The old man is here."
"What? My grandpa is here?" Xu Qingran almost blurted out. He was not informed in advance.
Ye Yan was also stunned for a moment, wondering what his parents meant. Did they know that Xu Qingran cared about his grandfather the most, so they specially invited him to persuade them to break up?
Sure enough, there must be something fishy when things suddenly turn for the better.
"Yes, look, the old man is coming down." As soon as the housekeeper spoke, he saw the old man had already gone down the stairs.
Xu Qingran followed his gaze and turned around. His grandfather had really come. The old man looked in good spirits. He was wearing a Tang suit and looked at them with a smile on his face as they walked towards him.
Ye Yan also quickly stood up, stood next to Xu Qingran, and nervously scratched her fingers.
"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me you were coming? What if you scare Ye Yan?"
Xu Qingran asked half-jokingly and half-seriously. Fortunately, the last time he went back to the old house to have dinner with the old man, the old man had hinted that he knew about him and Ye Yan, so Xu Qingran was relatively calm today and there was no need to worry that he would get angry when he saw his grandson's wife.
What is he talking about? Ye Yan turned around and looked at him in surprise.
I wondered why he wasn't worried about his grandfather getting angry. Had he already confessed to his grandfather?
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man had already walked up to them. The kind and gentle smile on his face did not seem fake, which made Ye Yan relieve some of the pressure.
"You kid, why aren't you afraid that he will scare me?" The old man complained fiercely, but it was obvious that he was not unhappy.
Xu Qingran had no way to refute this. Just as he was about to explain something, the old man's hand had already reached out to Ye Yan.
"Hello, I'm Qingran's grandfather. His parents did something rude before, and I apologize to you on their behalf. Please don't take it to heart."
Xu Qingran's grandfather actually apologized to him? Ye Yan was flattered and quickly shook the old man's hand, using all the politeness he had in his life, even speaking against his will.
"Hello, Grandpa. I didn't take it seriously, otherwise I wouldn't have come today. I just didn't know you were here, so I didn't prepare a gift..."
He was a vengeful person and it was impossible for him not to hold it in his heart, but facing such a reasonable elder, he was willing to be magnanimous.
"As for the gift, there will be plenty of opportunities to give it. There's no need to rush. Xiao Wang, go to the kitchen and call Qingran's mother out. The guests are here."
The old man turned around and looked at Butler Wang and gave an order. The other party immediately nodded and went to invite someone.
The old man gestured for them to sit down together, and Ye Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was unexpected that Xu Qingran's grandfather was more open-minded than his parents.
After sitting down, the old man didn't ask any questions, just exchanged a few simple pleasantries, demonstrated his tea-making skills to Ye Yan, and poured him a cup personally.
Ye Yan took it with both hands. The rich tea aroma was mixed with a hint of fruity flavor. He took a sip out of curiosity and found that it was indeed the taste of citrus. He liked it very much.
It seems that his grandfather likes to drink tea, so next time he should prepare tea as a gift.
Ye Yan thought to herself, maybe some nice tea set would be fine too.
While I was planning, Lin Anyi had already walked into the living room.
Her expression today was not so ugly, she even had a smile on her face, but Ye Yan read a clue from that smile, she seemed to be well prepared.
"Mom, do you like the gift Ye Yan prepared for you?"
Xu Qingran took the initiative, giving Lin Anyi a chance to continue enjoying the love of a loving mother and a filial son for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, Lin Anyi doesn't seem to want this opportunity.
She looked past Xu Qingran and looked at Ye Yan, the smile on her face did not fade.
"I like it. Ye Yan is thoughtful. Do you want to go and see it? Let Qingran take you there."
"I'm glad you like it. He was the one who told me you like raising fish, so go and take a look."
Ye Yan agreed with Lin Anyi's suggestion. Xu Qingran also had the same idea. They would go to see the fish first, and then take the elevator from the basement directly upstairs to "visit" his room. It would be perfect.
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to see it. If it weren't for the fear that other fish would get hurt, my mom would even want to raise a shark."
Xu Qingran smiled and pulled Ye Yan to go to the basement.
"Wait." Just as they were about to leave, Lin Anyi suddenly called them again.
"What?" Xu Qingran asked impatiently, fearing that his mother would suddenly say something he didn't want to hear.
Lin Anyi's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of pride had unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"There's another guest, take her to see him too."
Hearing that there was a third wheel, Xu Qingran's expression changed immediately. Before he could ask who it was, a familiar girl was already walking towards them from the kitchen, carrying a cake she had baked herself.
The moment he saw the other person, Ye Yan's face showed more shock than curiosity.
Why was she at Xu Qingran's house? Did they know each other?
All the questions were answered after the girl approached them.
"Long time no see, Qingran, and big star."
"How come you..." Xu Qingran and Ye Yan said almost in unison. When they realized that the other party also knew her, they both looked at each other in surprise and were speechless.
"This is Feng Xiao, Qingran's blind date. Ye Yan, do you know her too?"
Lin Anyi's deliberate introduction instantly destroyed the originally friendly atmosphere.
