Chapter 435: Chapter 435: My Family is not Short of Money
The tall and unreachable image of Master Yan, standing high above the clouds, collapsed in just a few seconds. This reminded both Qin Xiu and Ke Kai of Zhu Qianying’s Weibo post.
A god who fell down to earth!
However, as Master Yan had said when he reposted the post, even though he had fallen to earth, he was still a god.
Master Yan, being patient and gentle with the child, looked just as handsome; making both Ke Kai and Qin Xiu jealous.
Little one took their daughter and Qin Xiu to study a snail with a glass vase, the three grown men settled into the sofa by the window. They sipped on Qin Xiu’s private collection of vintage red wine and chatted.
"Master, didn’t you absolutely despise animals that are soft and wet like snails?"
Ke Kai still couldn’t quite believe that the man who had just fondly watched little master put a snail into a flower vase was his own master.
In all of L City, everyone knew that Master Yan was notoriously clean and picky!
"Didn’t you also not drink alcohol before?"
Listening to Master Yan mentioning Ke Kai’s embarrassing past, Qin Xiu immediately and mercilessly attacked Ke Kai.
"Kai Zi, honestly, when Master said he was going to call you back to Tong Village to help manage the bank, I thought he had gone crazy. He actually asked a college student-like guy to face those ruthless old fellas? As a result, the first time you faced them, you were immediately crushed by those old men. At that time, I thought, Oh no, Master’s reputation is going to be ruined by this kid!"
What Qin Xiu referred to as the first confrontation was actually when both Master Yan and Qin Xiu accompanied Ke Kai for a meal in Tong Village.
Neither Master Yan nor Qin Xiu knew that Ke Kai couldn’t handle his liquor.
As a result, only a few minutes into the drinking session, after downing just two glasses, Ke Kai was slumped over the table like a corpse.
Qin Xiu would still bring up this incident from time to time to tease and mock him, even though Ke Kai had already developed an impressive tolerance to alcohol.
So, people can change.
Ke Kai deliberately trained himself to drink more to survive because he understood that, in business, alcohol is a useful weapon.
Similarly for Master Yan.
From the first time he saw the child’s resistance and confusion to now, he took care of his son skillfully and attentively. He understood that if he couldn’t even deal with this little one, there’s no way he could win back Zhu Qianying.
Of course, besides this, more importantly, he was no longer the same age as he was in his teens and twenties. More than enjoying the thrill and satisfaction of a gamble in the business arena, he yearned more for the warmth and comfort of family life.
Especially after experiencing Ji Family’s brothers’ life full of love and warmth when they were unguarded, he couldn’t deny his jealousy.
But the life that included a wife, kids, and a warm bed, is not something he could have just because he wanted it.
Especially since the woman in question, Zhu Qianying, was overly rational and calm.
If he wants to have, he must give first.
As a businessman, Master Yan always understood this deeply.
That’s why now he’s trying everything he can to be good to his son and Zhu Qianying, in the hope that one day, his efforts will bring a generous return.
Currently, it seems that his efforts had started to see some returns, and not just a little bit.
Master Yan was in a good mood, both Ke Kai and Qin Xiu noticed, and upon asking, they found out, apparently their master had successfully sold the villa, and the boss lady has agreed to stay here for a few days as a vacation.
"Master, it looks like you and Qin Xiu will be neighbours soon. Why not give me a villa as well as a year-end bonus?" Ke Kai joked.
Master Yan swirled his wine glass, "Why not?"
The three grown men, sipped their wine, while they teased each other.
"Kai Zi, to get a year-end bonus from the master, firstly, you need to have a family. You and An Lan are not getting any younger, when are you planning to get married?" Qin Xiu, while pouring wine for Master Yan, was asking Ke Kai.
"Let’s talk about it later, at least, we have to wait until everything with the Yi and Zhu families is completely resolved."
Mentioning this, the conversation among the three grown men turned from banter to more serious matters.
"Master, did you know that recently Wang Wenjie has been personally overseeing Yi Wang real estate?"
Master Yan appeared unconcerned, and replied indifferently.
"Isn’t that very normal? The Wang Family invested so much money this time. If they suffered a loss, Wang Wenjie might not even be able to secure his position as president of Wang Family’s business. If he ends up not getting a wife and losing his job, it would be strange if people don’t laugh until their teeth fall out!"
Here, the three grown men were busy chatting, whereas Zhu Qianying, Shao Shan and An Lan were preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Although it was supposed to be a party, it was essentially just a simple gathering where the three families ate a meal and chatted. In the afternoon, they planned to have a BBQ in the backyard.
"Ying Zi, I heard from Qin Xiu that the snacks you make are very delicious. Can you teach me how to make some for the children?"
"Sister Shan, don’t listen to brother Qin’s nonsense. My skills are just good enough to impress. You can learn anytime you want. When I go home later, I’ll prepare the steps and send them to you."
"Ying Zi, also send me a copy. Kai Zi has been very busy lately. Sometimes, he even forgets to eat when he gets busy, so I’d like to prepare some snacks that he can take with him. When he’s really hungry, he can use them to fill his stomach."
The three women chatted about shared interests while preparing lunch. An hour later, they prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
"Qin Xiu, you only told me that Ying Zi makes very delicious snacks. But why didn’t you tell me that Ying Zi’s culinary skills are equally impressive?"
Shao Shan felt very bad because although she was the hostess, she wanted to prepare the meal. But in the end, almost all the wonderful dishes were made by Zhu Qianying.
"Ah? Didn’t I mention it?" Qin Xiu genuinely forgot.
The famished little one, immediately helped himself to a bowl of food once he sat at the table, gobbled up the soup, and then with a proud look on his little face said,
"Auntie Shan, the food made by my mommy is even more delicious than what grandma makes!"
Of course, the statement by the little one, really depends on who you ask.
Even Zhu Qianying thought that her son’s words held at best only 10% truth and 90% flattery.
But Master Yan seemed to entirely agree with his son’s words.
"I also feel that Ying’er’s cooking is slightly better than mom’s. Of course, in terms of presentation, it’s definitely not comparable, but when it comes to taste, it has the edge."
Qin Xiu and Ke Kai, both mocked and despised Master Yan immediately for being partial, but once they tasted the food...
"Ying Zi, if you ever stop being a designer, let Master open a big restaurant for you. Guests will surely flock."
Ke Kai’s words immediately earned him a hard stare from Master Yan.
"Nonsense, how could Ying’er ever not be a designer? And besides, her culinary skills are to be enjoyed by me and my son; we’re not short of money!"
