Binhai City Center, at a window seat of a Chinese restaurant, Qin Yanyang and Yang Wen were having dinner.
"Sister-in-law, you’ve been with my brother for such a long time now, have you fallen for him?" Yang Wen cheekily asked Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang answered with ease, "I’m not sure how to define this kind of liking between a man and a woman. But I don’t dislike him, and I’m quite used to being together ."
Yang Wen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Not disliking him means you like him."
Qin Yanyang gave a faint smile and didn’t refute, saying, "If you put it that way, then consider it liking. But it seems not enough for the romantic love between a man and a woman."
"You can always cultivate that slowly. As long as you two don’t repel each other and enjoy each other’s company, feelings will develop over time, right? There’s a saying, ’Familiarity breeds fondness,’" Yang Wen said with a giggly smile, "I think you two are quite a good match."
Qin Yanyang smiled and said, "Didn’t you say he wasn’t good enough for me?"
Yang Wen was startled, then said sheepishly, "In terms of qualifications, my brother really isn’t good enough for you, but... but I now feel my brother isn’t so bad after all, he’s quite handsome, right?"
Thinking of that face, Qin Yanyang nodded, "He is quite handsome."
"My brother is very skilled in medicine and has a strong sense of justice," Yang Wen continued to praise Yang Fei’s virtues.
Qin Yanyang smiled and nodded in response.
Yang Wen’s voice suddenly became a little softer, "Although he isn’t as wealthy as you, but... but he’s still young and can earn money, and he will definitely make a lot in the future and be able to support you."
Born in poverty, she was generous in praising Yang Fei in other aspects, but when it came to money, she felt somewhat guilty and even a bit inferior.
Anyone who had witnessed Qin Yanyang’s financial power would lose a certain amount of confidence.
In Yang Wen’s eyes, the gap in financial power between Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang was just too large.
"I already have more money than I need; anything more is just numbers, meaningless. It’s not financial power that I value," Qin Yanyang, seeing through Yang Wen’s fragile side, said with a smile.
Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Yanyang saying, "Sister-in-law, you’re really outstanding, not only from a good family background but also with a kind heart and solid core values."
Qin Yanyang laughed and said, "You flatter me so much, won’t you regret it if I end up not becoming your sister-in-law?"
Yang Wen hurriedly shook her head, "How could I? You are genuinely outstanding, my praise is sincere and it does not depend on you being my sister-in-law."
Qin Yanyang chuckled and changed the subject, "Okay, let’s eat, and after dinner, we can go shopping."
Yang Wen bent her head to eat, and Qin Yanyang also picked up her chopsticks. At that moment, she received a message on her phone.
Upon hearing the alert, she casually took out her phone to check the message without giving away anything, making sure that Yang Wen wouldn’t see the content.
"Your husband has gone to the Situ family."
Seeing this message, a sharp glint flashed through Qin Yanyang’s bright eyes.
"Keep an eye on the Situ family, also, I want to know exactly what grudge he has with the Situ family," Qin Yanyang replied with a message.
A reply came back quickly, "Didn’t you say not to monitor your husband and specifically forbade us from investigating his business?"
"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say," Qin Yanyang replied, feeling speechless as she typed.
"Five days ago, your husband killed Situ Xian’s grandson. At that time, Sun Weimin, Li Xuantong, Dragon and Tiger Hall, and Tong Yunshu all stood up for him, and because he demonstrated certain abilities in front of Situ Yunxin, the Situ family temporarily backed off. However, they have been investigating him privately. Since the Situ family’s inquiries led to you, I found out about this incident incidentally and consequently uncovered the whole story," the other side quickly responded.
Qin Yanyang read the message and frowned slightly.
Her husband really did seem capable of getting into trouble.
Foolishly provoking the grand snake of Binhai.
But the fault for that incident couldn’t be entirely placed on Yang Fei; it was that young master from the Situ family who was unbearably arrogant and overbearing.
Regardless, Situ Yong was killed by Yang Fei.
The Situ family, as an aristocratic family of a hundred years, naturally could not swallow such an insult and were bound to deal with Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
She stayed in Binhai because she had important business to attend to, to preside over this place.
As for other matters, she wouldn’t interfere or inquire.
But now that the issue involved the Situ family, it was highly likely that the Martial Alliance would also get involved.
"Do we need to step in?" a message came from the other side.
Qin Yanyang pondered for a moment and replied, "No need, just keep an eye on the situation for now, and watch for changes."
After putting down her phone, Qin Yanyang looked up and saw Yang Wen staring at her.
Yang Wen’s expression carried a hint of worry; she had just seen Qin Yanyang sending messages and was wondering who she could be chatting with.
Yang Wen’s older brother and sister-in-law might be married, but they lacked a foundation of affection, and whether they could ultimately come together was still an uncertainty.
But Yang Wen liked her sister-in-law too much.
She was concerned that her elder brother might not be charming enough and ultimately fail to win the beauty’s heart.
Lost in her wild thoughts, she suddenly heard Qin Yanyang say, "Wenwen, I might have some matters to attend to later and have to leave early. How about I take you back to school first, and we can go out another time?"
She thought it over and decided that despite her concerns for Yang Fei, she had to go see for herself.
Despite the fact that Yang Fei displayed formidable power when he lost control the other day, he was heading to the Situ family today, a clan with many members and great influence, and they might even possess Hot Weapons. His solo raid was far too reckless.
"Ah? You have to leave suddenly for some urgent matters?" Yang Wen looked at Qin Yanyang in surprise.
It couldn’t be to meet the person she was just messaging. This content belongs to N0velFire.ɴet
Yang Wen’s suspicions deepened.
Qin Yanyang apologized with a sincere face, "I’m sorry for asking you out and then having to leave due to unexpected matters. I’ll make it up to you next time."
Yang Wen hurriedly shook her head, "It’s alright, sister-in-law. You go ahead with your business. I can get back to school on my own."
Thinking of the grudge between the Situ family and Yang Fei and recalling that the Situ family had already begun investigating her, Qin Yanyang feared that Yang Wen might also be under surveillance, so she shook her head and said, "I happen to be heading back to school, so I’ll drop you off before I attend to my matters."
In a lavishly decorated office at the top floor of Xintian Di, Tong Yunshu’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing Qin Hu’s report, "Are you sure this information is accurate?"
Qin Hu nodded, "Absolutely no mistake, my men personally saw Mr. Yang enter the Situ family’s old residence."
Tong Yunshu muttered to herself, "How bold he is. Does he really think he can defeat the entire world? To dare to break into the Situ family’s old house..."
Qin Hu asked, "Miss, what should we do? Shall we continue trying to recruit Mr. Yang?"
It was more like he was reminding Tong Yunshu that a person who had made an enemy of the Situ family was a costly recruit despite his strong fighting ability.
Tong Yunshu remained silent and did not respond.
Images of Yang Fei flashed through her mind, along with what had transpired at the restaurant days before.
Then, she recalled the content of the video chat with her grandfathers from the other day.
After her expression changed a few times, Tong Yunshu suddenly clenched her teeth, making a significant decision, "You go and drive, accompany me to the Situ family. Also, call Uncle Zhou and ask him to visit the Martial Alliance’s branch in Binhai and request Mr. Li to make a trip."
Qin Hu’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Uncle Zhou was the middle-aged expert who had always protected Tong Yunshu. His strength was at the Inner Strength Mid Stage. Qin Hu hadn’t expected that his company, along with Uncle Zhou’s, wouldn’t be enough; the miss was even calling upon Mr. Li of the Martial Alliance.
She was determined to protect Yang Fei.
In doing so, Yang Fei would surely be moved by the miss, and he would definitely join her ranks when the time came.
