CHAPTER 1108: CHAPTER 225: EMBROIDERED PILLOW, ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS SHOWDOWN (PART 4)

Opposite, Dongfang Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Miss Meng, take it slow, you can’t drink hot tea in a hurry."

Meng Junci always felt there was more to her words. She had never liked Dongfang Yi, and now her dislike intensified. "Thanks for the concern, Miss Dongfang, but I’m fine."

Dongfang Yi smiled slightly.

"What’s there to calculate? You’re just too timid, that’s why you haven’t won over my second brother yet. Come, I’ll go with you." Yan Xing excitedly wanted to pull her over, but Meng Shujing pressed her shoulder down. "Behave yourself, sit quietly, and don’t go anywhere."

Yan Xing pouted, just about to say something when Meng Junci held her hand: "Listen to your aunt, better not go."

Meng Shujing glanced at Meng Junci and a smile curled her lips. It seemed she had finally figured things out.

"Do you think Yan Song and Ji Yunya are real or fake?"

"Of course, they’re real. Didn’t you see them holding hands? He even went so far as to offend Commander Shu. Yan Song was really handsome at that moment. If only I were Ji Yunya."

"Wasn’t it said that Ji Yunya and Yan Ke were engaged? How come she’s with Yan Song...?"

"It’s because she has great charm, and can captivate both brothers...."

Several young ladies began to gossip softly, their tones filled with envy, jealousy, and discontent.

Yan Xing rolled her eyes as she listened, wanting to say something but felt a pain in her knee, and swallowed her words back.

Dongfang Yi sipped her tea, her expression indifferent.

Jiang Hanbi glanced at her without saying anything, but felt quite uncomfortable inside.

Before long, Zhuang Xiyue and Yan Nanmo pushed over a wheelchair, with Old Master Yan seated, a thin blanket over his legs, looking full of energy.

As soon as the three appeared, the guests all stood up and congratulated the old master on his birthday.

Old Master Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Today, you must eat well and drink well."

"Dad." Yan Guosong and Yan Guobai came over, with the grandchildren of the Nan generation following behind, surrounding Old Master Yan as they headed to the main table.

"Yueyue, come sit over here." Lu Yuke waved to Zhuang Xiyue, who smiled and walked over. Many elders were seated at this table, including Third Aunt Yin Suhua and Fourth Aunt Pei Ying. Pei Ying rarely appeared, spending her days chanting Buddhism, and only on such occasions could one see her.

"Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt." Zhuang Xiyue greeted with a smile.

Yin Suhua held her hand, "You’ve worked hard, I’ve heard you brought a girl here, is she Gege’s fiancée? Where is she? Let me take a look."

Zhuang Xiyue smiled, just about to speak when Yan Xing said sarcastically: "What fiancée of the second brother, she’s already having an affair with the eldest brother, shameless."

Meng Shujing coldly scolded: "Don’t talk nonsense."

Zhuang Xiyue’s eyes flashed with coldness.

Yin Suhua was surprised: "Is there really such a thing? Yueyue, such a daughter-in-law must not be kept; a beauty is a troublemaker and can destroy the family."

Pei Ying’s face remained calm, exuding an aura of serenity. Upon hearing this, she smiled: "Let’s hear what Yueyue has to say."

Zhuang Xiyue smiled and said: "Third Aunt, you worry too much."

Yin Suhua frowned: "But...."

Lu Yuke said: "Yueyue, you were with the old master earlier, so you might not know what happened in the front yard. Yun Ya and Commander Shu’s niece, Miss Yan, got into a dispute, and Miss Yan injured her face because of it. Commander Shu blamed Miss Ji and insisted on taking her away. Ah Song stood up to Commander Shu for Yun Ya, and the two of them..." Lu Yuke sighed: "They were holding hands and pulling each other in front of everyone, obviously having an uncommon relationship. You’re probably in the dark too, so be cautious of such a wavering-hearted woman."

Zhuang Xiyue had already heard about it on the way and grasped the danger in a few words. She responded with a faint smile: "Aunt, you worry too much, this matter...."

Yan Xing suddenly pointed at the door: "Look, they’re coming, oh, and my second sister is with them...."

Zhuang Xiyue turned her head and saw Yan Song holding Yun Ya’s hand, walking in openly under everyone’s gaze.

A commotion broke out as everyone inquired about Yun Ya and Yan Song’s identities. Upon learning, they whispered among themselves. Yan Song is considered the most outstanding child of this generation of the Yan Family, and Ji Yunya is often mentioned as the fiancée of Yan Ke. Now, seeing them walking in hand in hand was quite explosive.

The man handsome, the woman beautiful, they were indeed a fitting pair.

Yan Xing sneered: "Clearly engaged to the second brother, yet having an affair with the eldest brother, is she shameless?"

Zhuang Xiyue shot her a cold glare, making Yan Xing shrink back: "I... I’m not wrong anyway."

Yan Xing’s voice wasn’t soft, and most of the guests present heard it, and began to point and whisper about Ji Yunya.
