Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 131 Heard you’ve been telling people I’m dead?

Chapter 131: 131 Heard you’ve been telling people I’m dead?

"What do you mean by ’the deceased themselves’? What are you talking about?" Ren Qiang didn’t grasp it at first.

Lin Qiming curved his lips upward, "Don’t recognize her? Shall I introduce her then?"

He deliberately stood in front of his best friend, bursting with energy, like a rooster ready for a fight.

"This is the one Old Master Yan cherishes above all else, the only legitimate Miss Yan, Yan Yueqing!" His tone was filled with arrogance and certainty.

Ren Qiang was stunned: "Yan—Yan Yueqing?! You’re Second Miss Yan?!!"

Although the Yan Family was the wealthiest in City C, they conducted themselves with extreme discretion.

So discreet that everyone knew only of an adopted successor, Yan Kang, and a legitimate daughter, who was the original heir and now the second in line at home.

This legendary Second Miss Yan had a cold demeanor. She had shown her face a few times as a child before going abroad to study, and rarely appeared in public view.

Even when she returned to the country pregnant and hastily annulled her engagement with the Lin Family, making a laughing stock out of herself, the outside world dared only to circulate that it was Second Miss Yan without mentioning her real name.

Brother Wei, who was "in good terms" with the debt-ridden Yan Kang, knew the truth, but he wasn’t stupid enough to go around proclaiming it.

When it came to debt, he had the upper hand; but dragging other people into it might lead to unforeseen problems.

Brother Wei, astute in both the under and upper worlds, was nothing like the arrogant characters depicted in some novels.

On the contrary, to climb to his position required real capability.

He appeared kind and amiable, just like a simple and honest elder at home, but he was capable of taking you gambling happily and just as easily press you for repayment with a cold face, using all sorts of means.

In the circles of the rich, gambling and playing cards were basic forms of social gathering.

To be able to turn a gambling debt into a transaction even the law would consider legal—this was not something an ordinary person could achieve!

Like a cunning old fox, Brother Wei lent money generously, but collected debts with a chilling efficiency.

Blackmailing with photos, incurring legal troubles with every report—that kind of behavior was beneath him.

So when Yan Kang proposed sending Yan Yueqing over last time, Brother Wei didn’t even think before refusing.

However, not everyone possessed Brother Wei’s intelligence and methods.

Yan Kang’s debts weren’t limited to one creditor; some were bold enough not to care about your identity, as long as the paperwork was in order!

The imposter had fallen for this trap. To secure the entertainment resources promised by Yan Kang, she naively went to be his guarantor.

When Yan Kang failed to repay, the creditor came after her to shoulder the massive debt of five million.

Ren Qiang knew of Yan Yueqing in the entertainment circle, a complete fool deceived by Yan Kang into becoming a guarantor.

But no one told him—this fool was the Legitimate Miss of the Yan Family?!

It wasn’t...

Are you serious?

Study abroad, to end up like this?!

People in their circle thought Second Miss Yan was at home recuperating, and with some words deliberately spread by Yan Kang... maybe she was seriously ill, or even prematurely deceased.

And now you’re telling him—that Yan Yueqing, jumping around the entertainment industry with an utterly ruined reputation, is the High, Cold, and Solitary jewel in the palm of the Yan Family?!

Wow... that’s hard to evaluate...

It’s worlds apart...

One can only wish her success...

Ren Qiang instinctively said, "I don’t believe it."

Lin Qiming didn’t care if he believed or not: "If you don’t believe it, go ask the old master!"

Ren Qiang shook his head, "Impossible! She’s already borrowed Second Miss Yan’s name once to enter the entertainment industry! At that time, the Yan Family—"

"You believe the statement released by Yan Kang?" Lin Qiming thought he was as dumb as a pig, "Who doesn’t know that Old Master Yan intends to cultivate his great-grandson? Would Yan Kang have a problem targeting her? It’s a shame you come from a noble family and can’t even see through such petty tricks."

"But she was indeed suppressed by Feiqi Media for several years, and I heard that Zhongxing didn’t want to offend the boss there, so they—"

"Calling you foolish is an understatement!" Lin Qiming laughed, "Why don’t you go check who the president of Feiqi Media is?"

"Who is it?" Ren Qiang’s eyes widened, "Don’t tell me it’s you?"

"Bingo." Lin Qiming said with a smug lift of his head, "It is indeed I."

A few kids were amused by his boastful appearance and burst into laughter, their small mouths gaping wide.

Ren Qiang was truly shocked, "You... aren’t you... are you sick? To block Second Miss Yan in the entertainment industry?"

"What do you know?" Lin Qiming laughed, puffing himself up, "It’s a game of cat and mouse. She runs, I chase. She can’t escape even if she had wings! Do you understand this kind of flirtation or not?"

Jun Yan immediately took note of this sentence with seriousness, his little expression growing profound.

Ren Qiang: ?????

Playing so risky?!

Have you lost your mind?!

Feng Lu, after hearing the conversation, finally realized that she might have accidentally offended a bigshot. She tugged at Ren Qiang’s sleeve to defuse the situation, "Brother Qiang, the people from the Chen Family just said they were looking for you. Why don’t we go over first?"

Ren Qiang cleared his throat, "Ahem... sure! Then, Brother Lin, you guys have fun, I’ll head over now!"

"Hold on." Yan Yueqing lifted her eyelashes, her tone commanding without anger, "I heard... you’ve been saying I died?"

Even if Ren Qiang wasn’t sure if the person in front of him was truly Second Miss Yan, he dared not offend her further!

He politely said, "Miss Yan, it wasn’t me spreading rumors... it was your older brother, Yan Kang, who said it himself at President Xia’s banquet half a month ago..." He intentionally gave an honest smile, "I was just thinking, Miss Yan is so young, how could she have suddenly passed away... it must be a misunderstanding! Would you like to continue strolling with Brother Lin while I meet other friends? After the car show, I’ll invite you for a meal as an apology, how does that sound?"

"Apologies should be done on the spot," Yan Yueqing looked at him with a sense of pressure in her voice, "no need for a meal."

"Yeah!" Tang Tang clenched her little fists, still holding a grudge, "This auntie just said my godmother came here to find us a new dad!"

Ren Qiang was nearly brought to his knees listening to this!

Madam, are such words for you to say so casually?!

Does Second Miss Yan need to look for...?!

He immediately darkened his face, sternly scolding, "Feng Lu, hurry up and apologize!"

Feng Lu stumbled over her words, "I’m... I’m sorry..."

Offending himself, Lin Qiming could laugh off the matter.

Offending Yue Bao, Lin Qiming sought revenge uncompromisingly.

"What did you do wrong, eh?" He asked with a smile that spelled trouble.

"I... I shouldn’t have looked down on people... I deliberately said those things... I’ve offended Miss Yan, please forgive me!" Feng Lu bit her lip and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, her posture extremely humble.

The people at the inner exhibition, all wealthy individuals, witnessed this scene and began whispering among themselves, curious about the topic of their conversation.

Ren Qiang felt he couldn’t save face, but seeing the other party not taking the bait, he had no choice but to steel his heart and offer, "Should... should I bow and apologize to Miss Yan too?"

"No need," Yan Yueqing knew when to stop, "Mr. Ren, as someone who does big business, let me give you a piece of advice."

"Please speak, Miss Yan," he replied.

"Keep your entourage in check."
