Country Love: My stepmother, Yang Xiaoyan, told me to tone it down.

Chen Yannan greeted them.

"Oh dear, this house doesn't look impressive from the outside, but the interior decoration is quite nice, like something out of a big city."

Chen Mingxing sat down, took the watermelon his daughter gave him, and took a bite.

The air conditioning was on inside, while the sun was blazing outside – a stark contrast between hot and cold.

"Dad, when are you planning to leave?"

"Yannan, I've only just arrived, and you're already planning to kick me out?"

Chen Mingxing was speechless, then quickly said, "The more you act like this, the more it means something's wrong. I'm going to investigate thoroughly to find out if the villagers kidnapped you and are preventing you from leaving Ivory Mountain, hmph!!"

"Dad, I've told you so many times, no one kidnapped me, okay?"

Chen Yannan shook her head, her head aching.

"No one kidnapped you, why don't you leave?"

"I told you before that I met my boyfriend here."

"Yes, I remember now. Where is he? I need to see him!"

Chen Mingxing solemnly stated.

"He's at the company. Let's arrange to meet up tonight."

"Do you even know what kind of background that kid has, or who his family is?"

"He has a mother named Yang Xiaoyan, who is quite young, and a younger sister who seems to live in Shanghai."

Chen Yannan recalled.

I'm not entirely sure about the specifics; I just heard it from someone else casually.

"Alright, let his mother come tonight too, so everyone can get to know each other!"

Chen Mingxing said.

If the daughter lies, she is very likely to be exposed if there are many people around.

"Mr. Yang is quite busy and may not have time to have dinner with us."

Chen Yannan said.

"See? I told you, your boyfriend is fake. You must have some unspeakable reason for staying in Ivory Mountain. No way, I'm calling the police right now!!"

"Dad, why are you wasting police resources by calling 110? Fine, fine, let Mr. Yang have dinner with us tonight."

Chen Yannan was completely convinced.

She went outside and called Xu Hui to discuss dinner that evening.

"I'm sure I have no problem with that. As for Mr. Yang, I'll ask if he's available."

"Ah."

Chen Yannan hung up nervously.

Now, she deeply regrets lying about having a boyfriend.

Now we're in a bind!

Xu Hui arrived at the group's finance office.

Yang Xiaoyan had a face mask on, doing her health regimen.

"Xiaoyan, there's something I need to tell you."

"What are you yelling for? You have no manners! I've told you so many times, but you still won't change!"

"Stepmother."

"explain."

"Chen Yannan needs help..."

Xu Hui briefly explained the situation.

Yang Xiaoyan was shocked when she heard this.

some days ago.

I just accompanied Xu Hui to Yan Dongdong's house to meet his parents, and now I'm going to meet Chen Yannan's father.

"Xiao Hui, you've got quite the business, haven't you? You're not missing a single girl in Ivory Mountain, you're flirting everywhere, sowing your seeds all over the world. Have you considered the consequences?"

Yang Xiaoyan was greatly surprised and learned a lesson.

"There's really nothing between me and Chen Yannan, I swear, he's not really my boyfriend."

"Xiaohui, have you ever thought about why she contacted you instead of Yongqiang, Zhao Yutian, or Bai Qingming pretending to be her?"

"She's a bit more familiar with me in Ivory Mountain, don't get the wrong idea."

Xu Hui proved his innocence.

"Hmph, you and Xiangxiu are always exchanging glances, I can't even bear to look at you!!"

The thought of their sordid affair disgusted Yang Xiaoyan, yet she also wanted to join in.

"Stepmother, please, just this once!"

Xu Hui came over and wrapped his arm around Yang Xiaoyan's arm, swaying it back and forth.

"Okay, okay, it's a deal. I'll help you this time!"

Yang Xiaoyan said angrily.

Actually, she went to the dinner party to see how far Xu Hui and Chen Yannan's relationship had progressed.

Deep down, she still cares about Xu Hui.

"Thank you, stepmother, you're so good to me!!"

boo...

When she wasn't looking, Xu Hui kissed her on the cheek.

"..."

Yang Xiaoyan was stunned.

If Xu Hui were a child, it would be one thing, but he's already in his twenties.

If he were my biological son, that would be one thing, since he has no blood relation to me.

This intimate gesture made her both angry and embarrassed.

It's not easy for it to flare up.

"Xiao Hui, behave yourself!!"

"It's precisely because I consider you my mother that I dare to do this. What a pure mother-child bond we share. What are you thinking?"

"Who said I'm overthinking? I didn't say you were wrong..."

Yang Xiaoyan was stunned.

After all that, I realized I was the one in the wrong; it's outrageous.

Chapter 97 Do you want to die if you mess with Yang Xiaoyan? (2/4)

7 p.m.

Kaiyuan Brilliant Hotel.

Xu Hui and Yang Xiaoyan arrived early, waiting for Chen Mingxing and his daughter to come over.

Before anyone arrived, Yang Xiaoyan started looking at the hotel's financial statements again.

The Brilliant Hotel is under the Shenhui Group, and Yang Xiaoyan loves managing the money.

"Xiao Hui, the hotel's revenue is good. Since you can't manage it all, let Qiu Ge take over from now on."

Yang Xiaoyan's wishful thinking was evident.

Xu Hui didn't care at all.

From now on, they and their daughter will be my own, so what's wrong with them managing the money?

That's perfectly reasonable.

"It's up to you."

"Xiao Hui, you were quite nice this time!"

Yang Xiaoyan was very happy.

Not a moment.

Chen Mingxing and his daughter have arrived.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Xu Hui greeted him.
