Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 373: Meet at base 359, Mr. Yin

Chapter 373: Meet at base 359, Mr. Yin

The plan was for the family to go check out the base, but within just ten minutes, a whole bunch of people had already been invited.

In the afternoon, Butler Zhong arranged the new seven-seater business vehicle that had been purchased.

The last time Butler Zhong was taking inventory at home, he mentioned to Yan Yueqing that they hadn’t yet bought a car.

Without a second thought, Yueqing generously transferred several million to the family account for Butler Zhong to handle the arrangement.

Considering she had two children, plus a driver and a nanny, the ordinary five-seater car would definitely not meet the requirements, so Butler Zhong directly chose a seven-seater business vehicle with comfort in mind.

The interior was spacious, and between the driver’s seat and the rest area in the back, there was a soundproof partition that could be raised, ensuring even urgent conversations could be had without worry of being overheard.

Each seat came with its own electric massage function, allowing one to lie back comfortably and arrive at the destination refreshed.

The vehicle departed from Number One Manor, stopping at the Bai Family’s gate to wait for Ji Nuannuan to join them.

The girl, bright as the morning sun, had specifically changed into a beige tracksuit and greeted with a smile, "Sister Yue~"

Yan Yueqing pulled her into the car and fastened Nuannuan’s seatbelt for her, "Why didn’t you bring Zai Zai with you today?"

Ji Nuannuan replied, "I’m not sure if the animals at the stray animal base are afraid of strangers? Zai Zai is big and lively, and it wouldn’t be good if his enthusiasm scared the little ones."

Indeed, most of the animals sent to the stray animal base were skinny little cats and dogs.

Malnourished and sick, they would naturally be frightened at the sudden sight of a big, sturdy dog.

"Nuannuan, you are so thoughtful."

Jun Yan showed strong enthusiasm for Ji Nuannuan’s arrival, actively finding topics to chat with her.

By comparison, Jun Lii and Yan Wang were much quieter.

Although they didn’t speak much, they listened carefully to the conversation among the three, occasionally chiming in with a few words, making the atmosphere in the car the most comfortable.

Upon arriving at the base, Jun Lii was the first to step out of the car, his right hand gentlemanly bracing the top of the car door to prevent Yueqing from hitting her head when getting out.

"Wow, the base has really changed!"

As soon as Yueqing got out of the car, she was stunned by the scene before her.

"Last time we came, the base’s perimeter walls were old and damaged, and the barbed wire wrapped around them was all rusty..." Jun Yan glanced over, "This time, it’s all been repaired into big white walls, which look quite imposing."

The old perimeter walls had been repaired and repainted, and the heavy iron gates that squealed at a push had been replaced with electric sliding doors.

Above the gate, "Moon Project Stray Animal Base" nine new characters stood solemnly in the wind, conveying a sense of majesty.

Before even entering, another car with Magic Capital license plates slowly drove up.

Yueqing smiled and said, "Zixian is here."

Jun Lii hummed indifferently, his tone flat.

The car stopped, and a young man stepped out from the driver’s seat.

He was at least 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a luxurious black suit, and when he opened the door, his Fida Baily diamond watch on his wrist was inadvertently revealed.

But there was no show-off intention, and after helping Min Zixian open her door, he smoothly slid down his sleeve to cover the pricey accessory.

Walking side by side, the two resembled the protagonists of an old-fashioned novel, pleasing to the eye and dazzling.

Min Zixian waved cheerfully at her, "Sister Yueqing~"

"Are you here? Was there any traffic on the way?" Yueqing made small talk.

"It wasn’t bad," Min Zixian said with a smile. "Let me introduce everyone, this is my boyfriend, Yin Risheng."

Yin Risheng was very handsome, but his expression remained somewhat aloof.

However, upon closer inspection, his deep gaze was always wrapped in several strands of tenderness towards Min Zixian.

Hearing her introduce him, the corners of Risheng’s mouth lifted slightly, suggesting he was in a good mood.

"Hello, my name is Yin Risheng, and today I’m accompanying Zixian to visit the Animal Base for a look."

"This is Sister Yueqing whom I’ve mentioned to you before, and this gentleman is Mr. Jun Lii, along with their two children..."

Min Zixian introduced them very enthusiastically, seemingly untroubled by the arrangement of marriage, indeed more excited than shipping a couple.

When introducing Nuannuan, she hesitated for a moment, "This is..."

"This is Nuannuan, a little sister from our community." Yan Yueqing remembered that Min Zixian hadn’t met Nuannuan yet and took the initiative to introduce her, "She came today with the same purpose as you, wanting to see what the Base is like."

Yin Risheng nodded politely as he greeted them.

He was comparatively mild-mannered when facing Yan Yueqing and Nuannuan.

But when he reached out his hand to Jun Lii, his tone was noticeably cooler, "Mr. Jun, hello, I’m Zixian’s boyfriend, Yin Risheng."

Jun Lii found it somewhat amusing.

The young man was clearly jealous!

Honestly speaking, the Jun and Min families had a precedent for arranged marriages from long ago.

If things were to follow convention, he too would eventually get engaged to Min Zixian as per the arrangement.

However, Jun Lii was never one for following the beaten path from the bottom of his heart; he found the Min Family’s relentless pushiness more irksome than anything else.

Min Zixian had a pleasant personality, free from the spoiled princess syndrome that came from overindulgence, and they could make simple conversation on the rare occasions they met.

But that was the extent of their relationship.

As for the idea of engagement, Jun Lii had none whatsoever.

Not to mention that he later fell head over heels in love with Ah Xing...

In the past few years, the Min Family’s influence gradually dwindled compared to the Jun Residence, making Min Qiusheng somewhat anxious, wanting to settle the arranged marriage sooner.

After Jun Yan appeared, he even made a special trip to propose that if the Jun Family didn’t mind Jun Lii having an illegitimate child beforehand, they’d have Zixian marry in early to take on the matriarch’s role and so forth...

That really infuriated Jun Lii.

At the time, he also had memory issues and didn’t know who Jun Yan’s mother was, even suspecting someone had tampered with the sperm bank to have his son.

But in the end, Jun Yan was his flesh and blood!

He was not some random cat or dog, and there was no need to feel any remorse towards the Min Family because of his existence.

It was the first time Jun Lii issued an expulsion order, instructing his subordinates not to let the Min Family appear before him again.

There was peace for a while until Min Zixian took the initiative to visit and apologize, unexpectedly developing a fondness for Jun Yan.

Jun Lii was very aware that there was no spark between Min Zixian and himself.

She was simply fond of the child, Jun Yan, nothing more.

Still, Jun Lii didn’t entertain the thought of marrying Min Zixian just because she was warm and caring towards Jun Yan.

The Min Family, on the other hand, thought that the girl had found a new way to win over the Jun Residence, so they became more compliant, no longer pressing the issue, just waiting for the day Min Zixian would return with good news!

Now, after all the twists and turns, both of them had found their true loves.

She and Yueqing had met the last time at Zhongxing, getting along so well they were almost like best friends.

It was Yin Risheng, however, who didn’t know how much Min Zixian had told him?

Meeting for the first time today, the jealousy and resentment in his eyes were scarcely containable.

Jun Lii replied politely and amicably, "Mr. Yin, hello."

Yin Risheng thought: Is this the scumbag Zixian talked about, who secretly had a child with her idol and then shirked his responsibilities?
