Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 171: 171 Your whole family is pretty awesome.

Qian Yezhou walked away, feeling lost and disappointed.

Yan Yueqing watched his somewhat lonely figure and sighed deeply.

"Mom, I believe in godmother," Yan Wang said, having listened from beginning to end with his own judgment, "Godmother must be innocent."

"Even though she’s innocent, she shouldn’t just hang up the phone like that..." Yan Yueqing could only help so much, "Anyway, let’s give each other some time. With him like that, it’s really hard for me to intervene."

"Maybe godmother encountered some trouble?" Yan Wang mused thoughtfully.

Yan Yueqing shook her head, then realized that the other people in the living room had disappeared.

"Eh? Where did everyone go?"

Jun Lii emerged from the inner room, speaking in an extremely calm tone, "Lawyer Qian left in a huff, and I guessed you had things to discuss, so I took Xiao Yan and Tang Tang to the inner room, hoping not to disturb you."

Yan Yueqing felt that Jun Lii had become a bit considerate!

When it came to adults’ privacy, particularly of Lin Qiming and Qian Yezhou, it was better not to let Yan Bao and Tang Tang know.

Jun Lii lifted his eyelids, and his indifferent gaze unexpectedly softened, "Probably tired from gardening, the two little ones have fallen asleep. Don’t worry, there are two rooms inside, I didn’t let them sleep together."

One could say he was extremely protective of Tang Tang, the little girl.

"Thank you," Yan Yueqing said with genuine gratitude.

Jun Lii wanted to say, "No need for thanks between you and me," but after some thought, since he had regained some memories and vaguely guessed that Yan Yueqing might be Ah Xing... Well, who knows for sure?

If she wasn’t Ah Xing, or if she was Ah Xing but hadn’t regained her memories of that period... addressing her affectionately and chatting so familiarly now would only make things awkward for her.

Are we that close to be using this tone?

Jun Lii was very sensitive to boundaries and didn’t want to make her feel the slightest discomfort or pain, so he nodded, accepting the thanks, "Don’t mention it."

Just as he finished speaking, Yan Yueqing’s phone rang again.

It was Lin Qiming calling.

Seeing this, Jun Lii excused himself, "I’ll take a walk outside."

After a moment of thought, Yan Wang said, "I’ll go with Uncle Jun."

"Thank you," Yan Yueqing nodded, and waited until the elder and the younger had left the room before she moved to a quiet corner to answer the video call.

Lin Qiming looked like he was about to cry, "Yue Bao, tell me Qian Yezhou is still there!"

"He is not here at all!" Yan Yueqing burst out, frustrated, "Usually so eloquent, and now you drop the ball when it really matters, huh?"

As soon as he heard her, Lin Qiming knew Qian Yezhou had left and felt a suffocating heartache, "It’s over, I’m afraid this misunderstanding can’t be resolved now..."

"Crying for what now! Weren’t you all capable just a moment ago?" Yan Yueqing clenched her teeth, "You better tell me you were abducted by aliens just now!"

Lin Qiming had a woebegone face, "My phone ran out of battery just now... I was somewhat angry because he misunderstood me so deeply, and I wanted to scold him... But before I could finish my sarcastic reply, my phone died... "

"It takes less than five minutes to find a charger!" Yan Yueqing felt this boy did it on purpose, "It’s been a good twenty minutes since you hung up!"

And there’s Qian Yezhou, with the black rice porridge all cold by now!

"That’s because I was so angry that I smashed my phone..." Lin Qiming said, lifting the shattered phone. "After I smashed it, I got even more anxious, wanting to call you, but then I forgot your phone number... Wuu wuu wuu, I had no choice but to rush downstairs to buy a new phone as quickly as possible. Little did I know that by the time I replaced the SIM card and logged onto WeChat, so much time had already passed."

After listening to him and seeing his tearful, guilt-ridden face, Yan Yueqing’s anger subsided by a third, "Serves you right for smashing your phone. Let’s see if you’ll still cause such trouble in the future."

"My heart’s already shattered, how can I think of wreaking havoc?" Lin Qiming no longer had the energy to banter; he felt an overwhelming desire to cry but no tears would come.

Yan Yueqing couldn’t stand to see him looking so defeated and waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, I know you were busy just now, so I steadied Qian Yezhou, and I guaranteed with my personal integrity that I’d help him find out the truth."

"What the fuck?!" Lin Qiming suddenly perked up, "It’s got to be you! Yue Bao! From now on, you are my real dad!"

He got promoted in a second...

Yan Yueqing was too lazy to argue with him and got serious, "This concerns my integrity, so you better start from the beginning and explain clearly what exactly happened?"

Lin Qiming hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself, struggling for a long while before hanging his head, "I like him..."

Yan Yueqing wasn’t surprised, "Guessed as much, what’s next?"

Lin Qiming’s face fell, "My brother likes him too."

Yan Yueqing: "?????"

It took her a full five seconds to understand Lin Qiming’s meaning, "Wait? Your older brother, from the legitimate line of the Lin Family, Lin Chengxiang??? Also likes Qian Yezhou? Didn’t he already have a wife?"

"Having a wife doesn’t mean he doesn’t cheat," Lin Qiming said irritably, tugging at his hair.

Yan Yueqing was shocked, "What... is your family, instant noodles?"

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Isn’t there a straight guy among you?!"

Lin Qiming became animated, "The Lin Family’s main business is the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is very normal."

Yan Yueqing was at a loss for words...

Lin Qiming continued, "But don’t lump me together with someone like Lin Chengxiang; he’s a total jerk! He just wants to dominate others!"

"How so?"

"I’m willing to be a zero for love, can he do that?" Lin Qiming blurted out with a smidgen of pride.

Is this something to be proud of?!!!

But before Yan Yueqing could react, Lin Qiming’s face turned cold, "Lin Chengxiang is a pervert; he doesn’t have feelings, just wants to drag people into the abyss, forcing them to succumb with money and power, even resorting to coercion..."

This was the most despicable aspect...

What Lin Chengxiang loved was not the untouchable beauty but the feeling of pulling them into his grasp and crushing them mercilessly.

To see someone nearly ascended to a pedestal, be dragged down by his grimy hands into endless hell, struggling in vain, until even the last glimmer of light in their eyes faded away...

That was the process he enjoyed.

"There used to be a very popular grassroots star in the circle, who was... he didn’t last long before he committed suicide..."

Lin Qiming sighed, "He wanted to recruit Qian Yezhou into Lin Family’s legal team, I know Lin Chengxiang’s true intentions all too well, but without evidence, I could only drive him away..."

"And after he left the capital, the Lin Family’s people?"

"They all sided with Lin Chengxiang..." Lin Qiming’s eyes grew darker, "He guessed my intentions towards Qian Yezhou, decided not to recruit him for the time being, but instead tortured him with all sorts of petty methods, making him think that it was all my doing... Yue Bao, he wanted to use Qian Yezhou’s hand to send me to jail!"

Yan Yueqing understood, "From Qian Yezhou’s perspective, he only offended you, and Lin Chengxiang has been wanting to recruit him, so the people sent after him were probably related to you?"
