Chapter 381: Chapter 355: Xiao Xi’s Grand Ceremony (Thanks to Hua Piao Ling’s He Shi Bi for the update)

Yu Minglang saw that Xiao Qian had been chatting with Mother Yu for quite a while, so he went over and took her away to drink with Eldest Brother and Yu Mingxi, filling a small cup for Xiao Qian as well.

“Should I really be drinking?” Xiao Qian looked at the normal-sized wine glasses in front of the siblings and then at her own mini glass, feeling utterly disregarded.

“We’re celebrating today, so just drink a little.” Yu Minglang filled up Xiao Qian’s cup, evil schemes bubbling in his heart.

He wondered if Qianbao would get a little tipsy and collapse into his arms like a drunken queen, creating a drunken embrace scene. Oh, he couldn’t even bear to think about it. If she clung to him affectionately, what would he do? He’d have to cooperate with his fiancee. Even if he didn’t take the final step, there would still be plenty of benefits.

While pouring the wine, Yu Minglang felt that he was hiding his true intentions.

However, the other three people sitting around the small table, including Xiao Qian, all saw through his scheme from his green eyes, the strange evil smile at the corner of his mouth, and the obviously malicious gaze.

They were just too lazy to expose him. Eldest Brother even felt a bit sorry for his younger brother. Now that he was finally getting a wife at such an advanced age, he was still so short of what he wanted that every little advantage felt like winning the lottery. It would be heartless to expose his foolishness.

Xiao Qian lowered her eyes, secretly contemplating something.

In her previous life, alcohol had helped her win over the saintly and virtuous Yu Minglang. Would she have to resort to this tactic again in this life? That would be too unoriginal. But looking at this idiot-Yu Minglang was holding his wine glass, pretending to be calm, and giving her a slight smile.

Ah well… it didn’t matter if the method was new or not, as long as it was effective. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time waiting for him to figure it out.

Yu Mingxi watched the undercurrents swirling between her family members and sighed.

“It would be great if Second Brother were here. We haven’t gathered together in a long time.”

“Second Brother went to look after his child. His son got sick.” Eldest Brother explained.

Upon hearing this, Yu Minglang remembered the situation.

He reached out his hand, palm up towards Yu Mingxi, who was confused.

“What now?”

“Where’s the engagement gift? Eldest Brother gave my daughter-in-law a car; Second Brother gave a card, and Mom sent a set of house-”

“What house?” Xiao Qian was taken aback, as she hadn’t heard about this.

“Before, Mom bought several houses from Eldest Brother at the price of 300 RMB per square meter using her own private money. She chose one with a good location for you. Tomorrow when we have time, let’s transfer the ownership to your name.”

300 RMB… Xiao Qian immediately looked at Eldest Brother, who spread his hands.

“I’m used to being exploited.” As the only cunning businessman in the family, he had come to accept this fact.

Only then did Xiao Qian realize that she had become a rich woman upon getting engaged, having a car, a house, and savings…

“I actually don’t need a house…”

“Just keep it and rent it out. Save the money for buying clothes or something later. If you don’t accept it, the Old Lady will be unhappy. Don’t worry, she has money. It’s all saved up.” Eldest Brother spoke the truth. Despite being just a doctor and marrying a stern Old Man, Mother Yu had inherited quite a fortune from her own family.

In the beginning, when Eldest Brother started his business, it was Mother Yu’s private money that she lent to her son. Otherwise, relying on Father Yu’s meager salary, the family wouldn’t have been able to maintain such a standard of living.

“See, even your daughter-in-law says your family doesn’t lack money.”

“Don’t give me that! You make more money by just shouting than I do with my salary. Hurry up and give me the gift, and don’t try to change the subject.”

The thick skin of Yu Minglang wasn’t a recent development, and the Yu siblings were used to it. Xiao Qian pretended to not know the shameless fellow, distancing herself from the conversation while drinking.

Yu Mingxi put a handful of peanut shells in Yu Minglang’s hand and said, “You should kneel down in gratitude.”

“Kneel your ghost! Hurry up, Yu Mingxi, if you don’t show any appreciation for my engagement, when you get married, Qian Bao and I will give you a bag of melon seed shells in return!”

Seeing there was no escape, Yu Mingxi reluctantly admitted.

“I sent the gift out long ago.”

“Where is it? Qianbao, did you see her name on the gift list? There are only a few such occasions in a lifetime. We shouldn’t miss the chance to fleece the fat sheep. Don’t be fooled by her appearance as a yellow-haired brat. She’s actually the wealthiest. The Old Lady has given her a lot, and her own salary isn’t small. She doesn’t spend much money, so she has savings. Hai Zhao has also bought her quite a few funds, making her incredibly rich.”

Xiao Qian had never actually looked at the gift list, as it was filled with names of unfamiliar people. She would have to return whatever she received eventually, so the thought of it made her headache.

“Don’t bother looking. My gift can’t be written down. If Dad finds out, he’ll kill me.”

“When has our father ever beaten you? You’re just making things up. Whenever there was trouble, it was me who got hit!” Yu Minglang couldn’t help but feel that this gift absolutely could not be spared when he thought of all the beatings he had taken for his silly sister throughout his life.

It was all bought with blood and flesh!

“This time it’s different… I seem to have caused quite a big problem. If he finds out, he’ll definitely punish me. So after drinking, I have to leave before someone tells him.”

“What kind of gift is it that you have to be so secretive?” Yu Minglang asked, puzzled.

Xiao Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pointed at Yu Mingxi in surprise.

“You didn’t… do that, did you?!”

What could cause the doting Father Yu to get angry?

What kind of gift couldn’t be written on the gift list?

Combining Yu Mingxi’s reaction with her suspicions, Xiao Qian seemed to have guessed something.

Everyone sitting around the small table was highly intelligent. Xiao Qian only needed to give them a clue, and based on previous conversations between her and Yu Mingxi, Eldest Brother and Yu Minglang immediately understood.

“Xiao Xi, what did you do to our aunt?”

Eldest Brother asked.

“What could I have done? She’s my own aunt. Even if she wanted to use me as a pawn and create a rift between my younger brother and me, I couldn’t have found a bunch of people to beat her up, right? Look at me, do I seem like that kind of person?”

“Yes!”

Xiao Qian, Yu Minglang, and Eldest Brother all answered in unison.

Yu Mingxi covered her face with her wine glass, “You all think I’m terrible.”

“You almost ruined your own brother’s engagement banquet. What can’t you do?” Yu Minglang didn’t overestimate his sister, because she was, indeed, just that sort of person.

Otherwise, how could she be nicknamed Yu Sanfeng?

“You guys underestimate me. Chen Daxian, the fortune-telling stall owner, you tell me, what did I do?” Yu Mingxi asked Xiao Qian.

After some consideration, Xiao Qian said, “If you didn’t send someone to beat her up… you must have found someone to intimidate her using something she’s afraid of. If it wasn’t her child, then it was her husband.”

Yu Mingxi took a coin out of her pocket and handed it to Xiao Qian, “Indeed, you studied psychology. You can really tell fortunes. Here’s your fortune-telling fee..”
