Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 24 - 024 is really unlucky

The light blue suit, seems to be this season’s QL parent-child couture? Just one button costs tens of thousands, a luxury brand?!

Chen Ruyi subconsciously glanced at Yan Yueqing standing next to Jun Yan—

This woman was beautiful and well-dressed, but she didn’t have a single branded item on her!

So ordinary, she must be just passing by and has nothing to do with this richly dressed little boy.

She immediately quashed the idea of going over to strike up a conversation.

Seeing her mother looking very happy, Shi Moxi didn’t wait to be asked and repeated the story. At the end, she added specially, "Mom, the hallway was so dark, and Momo was very scared, but Dad has taught Momo to be grateful! So Momo didn’t leave by herself but stayed there with Brother Yan."

Her watery big eyes were filled with anticipation, as if waiting for her mother’s praise!

However, Chen Ruyi only glanced at her daughter indifferently and immediately put on a smile, walking towards Jun Yan, "So it was you who saved my Momo? That’s wonderful! Your name is Jun Yan, isn’t it? Are your parents around? I’d like to thank them in person for raising such a good child!"

The heavy perfume scent was very overwhelming.

Jun Yan frowned with an unfriendly expression, but it was obvious he was displeased.

Chen Ruyi was overwhelmingly enthusiastic!

Jun Yan!

His surname is Jun!

Could he be the legendary Little Crown Prince from the Beijing Circle?!

In the imperial capital where big bosses abound, although her husband’s assets exceeded a hundred million, in the circle he barely managed to squeeze into the fourth tier. To do business with those in the second and third tiers, how many smiles must she offer, how many benefits must she concede?

And the Jun Residence—steadily at the pinnacle of the first tier!

The family’s current head, Jun Lii, was a tycoon in the business world that struck fear into people’s hearts.

The department store they were in had a prime location in city C, valued at over ten billion! But for the Jun Residence, it was nothing more than a small country property far from the capital.

Such a family was beyond Chen Ruyi’s reach to inquire about.

However, a few years ago, rumors spread in the circle—the normally woman-averse Jun Lii had suddenly acknowledged an heir publicly!

And just two days ago, this heir arrived in city C...

Chen Ruyi had seen the secretly-shared photos of the Little Crown Prince.

Although taken from a distance, unclear, the figure resembled this little boy in front of her!

Considering Jun Yan’s attire and presence, how could he be raised by an ordinary family?

Even if he were not from that mammoth Jun Residence, this child’s parents must be wealthy or noble, and it was always good to make such connections!

Chen Ruyi’s smile was radiant; she didn’t care about her daughter at all.

Shi Moxi blinked, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Jun Yan replied with distance, "It was nothing."

Chen Ruyi was very happy, "Oh, Little Yan, such good upbringing! Are your parents around? Auntie will personally escort you back and properly thank you in front of them."

Little Yan?

Isn’t she being too familiar?

Jun Yan was displeased; how many times had he seen such women since he could remember?!

Each one, upon hearing his name, couldn’t help but come forward to cozy up, actually making a noisy fuss, louder than the flock of ducks kept by Grandpa!

He didn’t wish to say much, brushed it off with a few simple words, his little face tense, not mentioning his parents at all.

Chen Ruyi, not understanding the situation, insisted on pressing for details.

Yan Yueqing had wanted to leave, but seeing the air pressure around the Little Iceberg plummeting, she softened for some reason and positioned herself subtly between the two, speaking gently, "Little Yan, let’s go home."

Then the system suddenly woke up.

"Detecting a Cute Baby, does the Host wish to bind with it?"

Well, that’s something!

This cute baby even added a special skill for himself?

Yan Yueqing had not expected this pleasant surprise, which only made her more determined to help Jun Yan escape his predicament!

Just as Jun Yan was teetering on the edge of annoyance, he was suddenly soothed by this tender form of address.

Looking up, he saw the woman standing in front of him.

She had a slender silhouette but somehow possessed boundless strength.

Chen Ruyi stood up suspiciously, "You... who are you?"

Yan Yueqing smiled slightly, "I am his mother."

Mother?!

The Little Iceberg seemed slightly startled.

Those eyes, usually devoid of emotion, suddenly showed a hint of a ripple.

Chen Ruyi scrutinized her from head to toe. With that attire, could she really be the biological mother of this refined young master?

"Miss, even if you’re going to pretend, shouldn’t you make it more convincing? You’re dressed so plainly, yet your son is all in designer brands?"

"I was just downstairs at the cos shop having fun role-playing with my son," Yan Yueqing looked at Jun Yan’s clothes and smiled affectionately, "This high-quality imitation looks so real, my Xiao Yan looked even more handsome than the child stars on TV when he changed into it!"

My Xiao Yan...

The pride in those four words was palpable.

Jun Yan’s fingertips trembled slightly. Someone dared to claim to be his mother?!

His icy gaze swept over her face.

A mix of evaluative and scrutinous.

The woman stood her ground, speaking as if it was the most natural thing in the world when defending him.

After watching her for a moment, Jun Yan finally withdrew his gaze nonchalantly.

Although he did not want to admit it... He indeed didn’t dislike this feeling.

Chen Ruyi didn’t believe it at all and scoffed mockingly, "High imitation? Clothes can be imitated, but can elegance?"

Yan Yueqing didn’t pick up on her sarcasm and changed the subject, saying, "Momo was locked up, and Xiao Yan inadvertently found out. It was just a matter of lending a hand. You’ve thanked us in person already! You should be concerned about Momo now; being locked up so long, she must be scared."

This mother is so unreliable.

Her own daughter is still teary-eyed, yet she has time to flirt with others?

Chen Ruyi frowned.

Yan Yueqing forthrightly suggested, "If you still want to give thanks, why not just transfer money? We rescued Momo; a few thousand yuan to show your gratitude wouldn’t be amiss, right?"

Chen Ruyi was speechless; this was too mercenary.

Jun Yan, however, nodded in agreement in the background as if he found her words quite sensible.

Would the Little Crown Prince of the Jun Residence be short of money?

Improbable!

This response from him instantaneously demoted him from a high pedestal to the level of a marketplace in Chen Ruyi’s mind...

It seemed she might have bet on the wrong horse today?

Thinking she was betting on gold but it turned out to be a lump of mud?

Realizing that she had been so attentive to a commoner, Chen Ruyi was extremely displeased. She immediately retracted her smile, couldn’t be bothered to even be superficially polite, turned her head indifferently, and no longer paid any attention to Yan Yueqing and her son, taking Shi Moxi and leaving straight away.

The little girl was reluctant to leave, constantly looking back, unable to resist her mother’s pull, and departed with tears brimming in her eyes.

Once the two were far away, Yan Yueqing turned her head back, "Sorry for using your mother’s identity just now."

Jun Yan’s eyes were dark.

"No need to apologize," his lips pursed, his mature baby voice carried a measured grievance, "It’s me who should thank you..."

In his five years of life, it was the first time he understood what it felt like to be protected by a mother.

Yan Yueqing crouched down, concerned, "Do you want me to take you to your parents?"

Jun Yan shook his head, "No need, someone will come soon." He lifted his hand to check his watch, calculating the time, "It’s been twenty minutes."

Even if security hadn’t noticed yet, the bodyguards following him should have found out!

Indeed, just as the words left his mouth, a bodyguard hurried over from a distance, "Young Master Yan!"
