“You know, I met this little brat Yuan Mingxu through Young Master Zhou. That Young Master Zhou is no more noble than Yuan Mingxu, so I thought why can’t I do what Yuan Mingxu asked me to? Master Zhou also knew after I told him.”
“Okay, I’m done asking, you can go about your business.” After Yan Qingchi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
As soon as he did, Wei Lan called him at just that moment. Yan Qingchi even thought that he had made an agreement with Zhou Qiang because the timing was done so well.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did Zhou Qiang call you? What did he say?” Wei Lan asked curiously.
“Apologized. How dare he not apologize when you are so powerful? He was afraid you will get angry for hurting your blue face and bring them to blame.”
“Bah, what kind of blue face are you? Honestly, did you peek at our super talk?”
Yan Qingchi: …It’s obviously you who peeked at our super talk without asking.
“You know it was Yuan Mingxu who asked him to do it, right?”
“Yes, I asked him right away. I also know that Zhou Yixing also knew about it in advance, so he directed and acted the play himself and wanted to give you a heroic performance of saving the beauty, but he was also lucky. Zhou Qiang did not go today, and no one under him has seen Zhou Yixing, otherwise the secret would have been exposed long ago.”
“Then what do you want to know with this call?” Yan Qingchi asked him.
“I want to know how you plan to repay Yuan Mingxu?”
“How? Of course, treat the other person in his own way.”
“I guess so, it’s your style.”
“Really? Then you guess what I’m going to do next?”
“What’s your next step?” Wei Lan was surprised.
Yan Qingchi sneered, “He rushes to get in front of me like this. If I just let someone beat him up, wouldn’t it look like I’m passive.”
“Then how do you want to take the initiative?”
“It’s simple, why’s he targeting me like this? Isn’t just because of Jiang Mochen? Since he cares about Jiang Mochen, I have to let him see clearly what he is to Jiang Mochen now. Did you learn “The Art of War” when you were in school? The priority is to attack the person’s heart. What’s the point of beating him? The scar will be healed and the pain will be forgotten, but there is no greater sorrow than death. I will let him die properly this time.”
Wei Lan felt that a Yan Qingchi like this was a bit strange. In his impression, Yan Qingchi was flamboyant and a little brainless in his words and actions at first. Later, after he got married, he became much gentler and smarter. But at this moment, he took off his familiar gentle coat, revealing something that seemed unfamiliar to him.
“What are you going to ask Jiang Mochen to do?”
“Wei Lan, I may sound a little arrogant when I say this, but to be honest, I have never taken Yuan Mingxu seriously. I almost look at him as if he were like a clown. The higher he jumps, the funnier I feel, so I never argue with him. Would you argue with an ant? You wouldn’t, because you know he poses no threat to you. If I wanted to, I have a thousand ways to prevent Yuan Mingxu from appearing in front of me. I can always use threats and force to suppress him, but I am too lazy to argue with him. I don’t think it is necessary. But today, he really made me angry. Do you know who was standing next to me when the accident happened?”
“There was someone else beside you?”
“Yes, it was Qi Qi.” As Yan Qingchi said this, the anger in his heart couldn’t be suppressed, “I don’t care if he targets me, but he shouldn’t have chosen this time, and he shouldn’t have involved Qi Qi. If it wasn’t me who married Jiang Mochen now, and it had been an ordinary man or woman instead, can you imagine the consequences? Whether Qi Qi was beaten together, or those people let him go because he was young and let him stand aside and watch his father or mother being beaten, it will all leave indelible shadows in his heart. It doesn’t matter if you touch me, but whoever touches my family will have to pay the price. I want Yuan Mingxu to never appear in front of me again in this life.”
Wei Lan felt startled in his heart, he didn’t expect that this matter also involved Qi Qi. He remembered the child wearing two antlers that he saw in Yan Qingchi’s mobile phone video at the hotel. He was still very young, cute and innocent. He would suppress his thoughts and just say softly, “Then Qi Qi will give the deer to dad, and dad should come back soon.”
When Wei Lan thought about what he faced today, and when he thought that something might almost have happened to him, even he couldn’t help but feel scared, not to mention Yan Qingchi, who was his father.
He understood almost immediately why Yan Qingchi was so abnormal today.
Wei Lan had always been a smart person, so he had always lived a chic life. He had been in contact with Yan Qingchi for so long, so he could see the pride in Yan Qingchi’s bones. It could be seen that he indeed did not take Yuan Mingxu seriously. He treated Yuan Mingxu like you would treat an annoying mouse. If the mouse moved, he moved, and if the mouse didn’t move, he wouldn’t bother to pay attention to it. He never spent his extra time on Yuan Mingxu, even when he was participating in the recording of the program and kept saying that he wanted to go to the theater, he only verbally stopped him, but he didn’t really take any action, because he really didn’t care.
But today, he took the initiative. After Yuan Mingxu moved, he hit him back as usual, but after hitting him back, he was ready to give him the most fatal blow. As Yan Qingchi himself said, he had a thousand ways to prevent Yuan Mingxu from appearing in front of him, but he chose Jiang Mochen to come forward. Didn’t Yan Qingchi have that ability? Wei Lan didn’t believe it. All he had to do was hurt Yuan Mingxu’s body and then his heart, leaving him unable to rest in peace both physically and mentally, and in agony.
But was Yan Qingchi wrong? No. He gave Yuan Mingxu so many opportunities, allowed him to appear in front of him again and again, allowed his provocations and small actions, and only now did he really take action. Wei Lan felt that if it were him, he probably wouldn’t be able to endure it for so long. But it was precisely because of his long-term indifference that his attack this time seemed a bit cold and unfamiliar.
However, there was no way around it. No parent could remain calm when it came to their children. Wei Lan even thought about it on his own behalf. Although he did not have children, he still had a family. If one day, someone tried to deal with him and something almost happened to Wei Xun or his parents, Wei Lan estimated that he would probably just abolish that person. But personally, he would never have the ability to do anything in his life.
After such a comparison, Wei Lan felt that Yan Qingchi was quite gentle that he did not directly destroy Yuan Mingxu – of course, Zhou Qiang’s beating did not count.
“So you plan to tell Jiang Mochen about this?”
“Do you think I can hide it from him?”
“I don’t think you want to hide it from him.”
“Of course,” Yan Qingchi said softly, “I promised him that he would not learn of my affairs from other people, especially such big things.”
“What about Zhou Yixing?”
“That depends on what kind of intentions he has and what his calculations are.”
Wei Lan heard this and laughed, “Yan Qingchi, if I were them, I would never provoke you. You have a personality that is both irritating and not easy to anger, not fun and playful, not impulsive, not entangled, always the same. It’s so boring to be your opponent with you just sitting back and watching the show.”
“I just thought you were complimenting me.”
“Okay, I’m hanging up. If Zhou Yixing has any follow-up actions, please remember to tell me. I want to see what this idiot is thinking.”
“Okay.”
“I’m hanging up.” After Wei Lan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Yan Qingchi opened the door and got into the driver’s seat.
Seeing that he had come in so late, Qi Qi asked him, “Dad, why did you come in so late?”
“Dad answered the phone and chatted with uncle for a few words, but it was too late. Are you in a hurry, Qi Qi?”
Qi Qi shook his head, “Qi Qi is in no rush. It’s just that it’s cold outside and dad won’t come in. Qi Qi just wanted dad to come in.”
Yan Qingchi turned around and pinched his nose, “You’re really dad’s little baby, so considerate.”
Qi Qi was squeezed by him and giggled, looking at him with his eyes curled into small crescent moons.
Seeing that he was still fine in front of him, with no injuries or any psychological shadow, Yan Qingchi felt a little relieved and rubbed his hair again, “Let’s go home.”
Jiang Mochen had just finished the meeting, when he received a WeChat message from Zhang Xiao: Sister-in-law came to my place for a check, everything is normal, don’t worry.
Jiang Mochen was a little confused. Wasn’t the prenatal check-up scheduled for three days later? They agreed to go together then, so why did Yan Qingchi go alone today.
He quickly called Yan Qingchi, “Did you go for a prenatal check-up?”
“Yes.” Yan Qingchi answered him while driving.
“Why did you go all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Something happened. I was afraid that something might happen to the baby, so I went there just to be on the safe side.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mochen became nervous almost immediately, “What happened?”
“I’m driving now. It’s a long story. We can talk about it when you get back. I’ll hang up now.”
Jiang Mochen packed up his things and walked back after hearing the busy signal from his phone.
“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to have dinner with everyone later?” Wu Yuan was about to tell him that he had signed a new star who was only 16 years old when he saw him looking like he was leaving in a hurry and quickly stopped himself.
“I’m not going to dinner. Please explain to everyone that I have something to do at home. I’ll go back first.”
“What’s so…” Before he could say the word “important”, Jiang Mochen had already left. Wu Yuan looked at his back and thought, it probably had something to do with the guy at home. Wu Yuan sighed and couldn’t help but praise that Yan Qingchi seemed to be so quiet but really had a lot of skills. They had been married for only a short time and he had managed to get Jiang Mochen to obey him completely.
Yan Qingchi, who was being worried about by Wu Yuan, was checking out things with Qi Qi while holding something in his arms. On their way home, they passed by a small supermarket, so Yan Qingchi stopped the car and bought some things he needed here, and also bought two small toys for Qi Qi.
Qi Qi held his snack and asked him, “Will there be bad guys coming to snatch it this time?”
“No, the bad guys have all been driven away by dad.”
“Yes,” Qi Qi looked at him with admiration, “I’m not afraid even if they try again. Dad is so powerful, he will definitely beat them away again.”
