Chapter 165: 165 Fans Support Club members came.

The banquet was lively, and soon, Steward Yan came in, "Second Miss, there are three people outside who say they have an appointment with you."

"One man and two women?" Yan Yueqing nodded, "Please ask them to sit in the living room. I’ll be right there."

"Sure."

Tang Tang asked curiously, "Do we have guests coming?"

"Yes, I’ll introduce you to them in a bit." Yueqing stood up, "Grandpa, I’ll go over first."

"Alright, alright, alright." Old Master Yan nodded repeatedly, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the ham.

Yueqing knew Old Master Yan couldn’t resist and chuckled, "Doctor Xiao will be performing a full-body check-up on Grandpa later, and Grandpa wouldn’t want an embarrassing report affecting future meals, right?"

Old Master Yan took a deep breath, "I know, I know!"

There’s a big difference between not eating for a moment and never eating again!

He would endure!

Only then was Yueqing reassured to leave for the living room.

Qian Yezhou and the two young ladies were sipping tea in the hall.

Though it was called tea-sipping, the three of them were sitting unusually restrained, hands stacked on their knees, sitting up straight.

With heads down, they sneakily scanned their surroundings, not daring to even touch their cups...

Watching Aunt Sun’s live broadcast, Shen Yanzhu knew that Yueqing’s home was a wealthy family, but she didn’t expect it to be this extravagant!

After the car picked them up, it took a full twenty minutes just to drive from the foot of the mountain to the entrance.

The winding road on both sides was all breathtaking scenery, with only one or two lavishly decorated mountain villas occasionally visible.

Once they reached the estate, the three were mesmerized by one quaint design after another.

Su Nianqing never imagined that visiting someone’s house could feel like getting lost in a park!

Jiang Garden was so vast, like the filming set of some large-scale period drama, with a kind of understated luxury.

Upon entering the living room, Su Nianqing was directly scared by the complete set of Huali wood tables and chairs!

And then there were the paintings hanging around, the vases placed about, the orchids being cultivated... All looking quite expensive...

Shen Yanzhu had initially been interested in an ornament on the table out of curiosity, and when she asked for the price, Steward Yan’s "Not expensive, just one hundred thousand" scared her off!

Just, one, hundred, thousand???!!!

How could she dare to touch that ornament?!

After Steward Yan brought the tea, the cup that was white to near transparency, filled with gently rippling tea, looked as beautiful as if tempting them, but none of them dared to touch it now...

Everything in this room was too luxurious!

A normal decoration costs one hundred thousand, so this set of tea ware must not be cheap; probably amounting to three or four hundred thousand...

If they accidentally broke it, even selling themselves wouldn’t cover the costs!

The three, as if by unspoken agreement, though thirsty, did not lift the cups.

When Yueqing entered, the three quickly stood up and said in unison, "Miss Yan."

"Hello." Yueqing glanced at the full teacups, "Don’t you like the tea? Steward Yan, have Aunt Sun make some fresh fruit juice."

"It was my oversight," Steward Yan apologized, "I forgot that the young people nowadays are not used to drinking tea. I’m very sorry for the inadequate hospitality."

"No, no, no!" Shen Yanzhu hurriedly waved her hands, "I quite like drinking tea. It’s just that this tea set looks very valuable, and I was afraid of damaging it."

When Steward Yan heard the young lady giving him an out, a kind smile appeared on his face, "It’s not expensive. This is a set of Ming Dynasty imitations."

Imitations, no wonder they looked so realistic.

Relieved by his words, Shen Yanzhu quickly picked up her cup and took a sip to show her genuine love for tea.

Steward Yan hadn’t finished speaking: "Actually, it’s from the Qing Dynasty."

"Cough cough—" Shen Yanzhu choked, using almost all her strength to tightly clutch the cup in her hand.

"Miss Shen, be careful." Steward Yan genuinely cared for the young lady.

Shen Yanzhu was both anxious and flustered, her face turning bright red, until Su Nianqing carefully took the cup from her hand and safely placed it on the table, allowing her to finally breathe deeply.

Steward Yan pondered, wondering if Miss Shen felt that the host family was somewhat impolite upon hearing it was a replica?

He straightened his expression: "Second Miss, I will go get the genuine set."

Shen Yanzhu nearly fainted in shock upon hearing this: "No need to switch it! This set is already very good!"

Yan Yueqing couldn’t help but smile: "Steward Yan, let’s have Aunt Sun make some fruit juice instead."

Steward Yan’s confusion was understandable; he had been with Old Master Yan for decades and had seen all kinds of major incidents.

The guests who came to Jiang Garden to visit Old Master Yan, one after another, were either rich or noble, and might even be more knowledgeable about those collections of treasures than them.

In their conversations, casually speaking of items worth tens or even several million, they naturally wouldn’t think much of a counterfeit set.

But this scene, college students just couldn’t take it!

They really couldn’t bear it!

Steward Yan was somewhat embarrassed but was very amenable to suggestions; when the Second Miss told him to make fruit juice, he obediently did so.

"All right, I will have Aunt Sun prepare lunch for the three guests as well."

Shen Yanzhu grew even more flustered: "Miss Yan, there’s no need to go to such trouble."

"The three of you have come from afar, please try our simple home-cooked meal," Yan Yueqing said with a friendly smile. "You don’t need to be so formal; just call me Yueqing."

Qian Yezhou: "Sure thing, boss!"

Shen Yanzhu nodded: "No problem, Miss Yan."

Su Nianqing couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.

Yan Yueqing: ...

Never mind. She gestured for everyone to sit down and began in the friendliest tone she could muster: "Lawyer Qian, how is the defamation case coming along?"

In the Yan family home, Qian Yezhou was quite reserved, but when it came to work-related questions, his unique lawyer’s professional demeanor instantly returned. "The lawyer’s letter has been sent out, and the court date is set for this Friday. I have prepared all the evidence... However, there seems to be a little trouble on Qin Youran’s side."

Yan Yueqing frowned: "What happened?"

"Her parents have used their connections to reach out to me, hoping you could drop the lawsuit and not let their daughter have a criminal record," Qian Yezhou said as he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his demeanor stern and distinctive. "I told them that Qin Youran originally had the chance not to be prosecuted, but she gave it up herself. The old couple didn’t give up hope and wanted to keep persuading..."

"The love of a parent knows no bounds..." Yan Yueqing shook her head, "but I will stand by my principles."

She had outgrown her saintly years long ago.

In the book, those online trolls drove the original character to suicide by jumping into the sea, while Qin Youran alone benefited and lived a life of comfort.

Yueqing never liked Qin Youran, and after learning that Qin was the one who arranged those trolls, she felt utterly infuriated.

You were reborn, so just live your life, why push yourself to death?!

Moreover, she had once given her a chance.

Unfortunately, Qin Youran still harbored a gambler’s hope, believing that everything would slowly return to ’the main plot’ of her so-called previous life?!

Laughable, a stolen main plot is still called a main plot?

She was no more than a gambler addicted at the gambling table, clutching a few chips and thinking she could win big this time.

A gambler never regrets entering the casino, only laments betting on the wrong horse.

What followed was simply a tale of victors and vanquished—the fact was, she had lost!
