Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Taking a look at Young Master Chen's loose, plump body, Yan Jing couldn't help but say sarcastically:

"Why, are you worried that your lover outside won't be able to serve you well?"

Young Master Chen frowned. What he disliked most was Yan Jing's sarcastic nature. He had hated her since he was young, and now that he was older, it was even more annoying.

Just as he was about to retort, the maid knocked on the door and said that the Fourth Master was waiting downstairs and wanted to see him.

The Fourth Master, Chen Muchu, is the eldest son of the second wife and the current head of the Chen family. He controls the Chen family's assets and profit distribution.

Although Yan Jing and Chen Dashao were brother and sister-in-law, they did not dare to neglect them. They immediately changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests and went downstairs.

"Fourth brother is here?"

Young Master Chen was all smiles as he greeted people while walking downstairs. He looked sober and his steps were steady, as if the drunken staggerer wasn't him.

"Brother, sister-in-law~"

Chen Muchu, who was sitting on the sofa, bowed slightly and greeted him.

Chen Muchu is nearly 40 years old, with thick black hair, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a light-colored custom-made suit that is straight, giving him a gentle and elegant scholar-business temperament.

Yan Jing looked at her brother-in-law a few more times with an almost obsessive look, then lowered her head, hiding the deep resentment in her eyes.

Young Master Chen sneered, as if he didn't notice.

He quickly crossed the coffee table and patted Chen Muchu on the shoulder:

"It's been a while since we last met. Fourth brother is a very busy man. What brings you here today?"

The smell of alcohol was right in my face.

Yan Jing also sat down leisurely on the sofa beside her, with a dignified posture but a hint of coquettishness.

Chen Muchu frowned and said nothing more. He only said:

"I heard from the servants that my elder brother is here, and I have a few questions for my elder sister-in-law."

Yan Jing was surprised: "Ask me?"

Young Master Chen also sat down on the other side suspiciously, looking at Yan Jing and then at Chen Muchu:

"Is this woman causing trouble?"

Yan Jing shouldn't have the courage to do that.

"Brother, you may not know that the Chen family's business has recently been subjected to fierce suppression from its peers. The development of upstream and downstream businesses has been hindered, many cooperation contracts have been terminated, and performance has declined sharply."

Chen Muchu's face did not look good:

"I heard a little rumor and wanted to ask my sister-in-law if she had offended anyone recently."

"what?"

Yan Jing was a little confused for a moment: "How, how does this have anything to do with me?"

She was a little puzzled:

"Fourth brother, you're joking. Not to mention me, even your eldest brother rarely participates in family business... You can't blame us for this business matter."

It turns out that Chen Muchu came with bad intentions today.

Oh, she had a pretty good plan. What's wrong with the business? What does it have to do with her? Are they planning to just grab an innocent person like her and make her take the blame?

Young Master Chen's expression wasn't looking good either.

No matter how bad Yan Jing was, she still held the title of his wife. If Chen Muchu went too far, then, in a rounded form, it would be tantamount to looking down on him.

Chen Muchu remained unmoved, his expression only becoming more gloomy.

"But we did receive news that you, sister-in-law, have offended someone you shouldn't have. This is not groundless."

"Sister-in-law, you should think carefully about what you have done recently, who you have offended, or what you have said that you shouldn't have said..."

Seeing Yan Jing still looking unconvinced, he warned:

"Sister-in-law, don't blame Fourth Brother for being rude. They're coming at us with such force this time, and many orders are still pending...Sister-in-law is also a member of the Chen family, and our interests are one. If you don't want to be dragged down with them, you should speak up as soon as possible."

"We'll discuss it later. We can either go and apologize or try to make amends. In short, there's still room for redemption."

"Otherwise, I will have no choice but to exercise my rights as the head of the family and force my eldest brother and his wife to leave the Chen family completely. You won't have to live in this old house anymore!"

After saying that, the eyes behind the lenses stared at Yan Jing sinisterly.

Yan Jing was stared at by this oppressive gaze, her mind blank, but she had to think nervously. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head, and she remembered what she had said to Chen Jiayi that day...

But, how could this be possible?

If this speculation is true, it means that Lin Ruchu knows about this, and Lin Ruchu is taking revenge on the Chen family and on her?

No, no, no, that wouldn't happen. First of all, besides her and Deng Dayan, the only people present that day were Chen Jiayi and her family of three. As long as these three didn't say anything, how could Lin Ruchu know?

Could it be that Deng Dayan had let it slip?

It's not completely impossible. After all, she and Deng Dayan are not on solid terms.

But even if Lin Ruchu knew that it was she who instigated Chen Jiayi to oppose her, how could she have the energy to clean up the Chen family? If that woman Lin Ruchu had this ability, how could the Lin family's business go bankrupt?

It's really impossible no matter how you think about it.

Her expression was so unpredictable at that moment that Chen Muchu had already made a judgment in his heart. Young Master Chen's heart also skipped a beat.

As a couple for many years, how could they not understand what Yan Jing's behavior meant?

He immediately slammed the table:

"Yan Jing, what on earth did you do? Why don't you explain it to Fourth Brother right away? Do you really want our whole family to suffer?"

Yan Jing was so frightened by the slap that she trembled all over and came to her senses in an instant.

Then he calmed down and said, "What can I do? I remembered that day when my second brother's daughter Jiayi came to me and asked for her father's inheritance... Of course I can't give it to her."

"But this is still a family affair of the Chen family, and it wouldn't be nice to make it public. I just answered the question and sent her family away safely. I even gave her a pair of my dowry bracelets as compensation. Does that count as offending anyone?"

She turned to Chen Muchu and said, "If this is considered an offense, then the blame cannot be placed solely on me. Don't you agree, Fourth Brother?"

Chen Muchu hesitated for a moment after hearing this. If what Yan Jing said was true, then her decision that day was correct, because the decision to withhold Second Brother's things and not give them to Second Sister-in-law and her daughter was indeed made by the old man and the old lady in front of the whole family.

Even the eldest sister-in-law gave Chen Jiayi a pair of bracelets, which was considered a favor to the Chen family.

But no matter how I think about it, this doesn't seem right.

He was not completely unaware of the recent controversy on the Internet surrounding his good niece and his ex-sister-in-law.

At least his daughter often told him jokes about it.

Judging from Chen Jiayi's current abilities, she was able to obtain the Chen family's old house, so she obviously didn't have the ability to deal with the Chen family. Then was it Lin Ruchu, his incredibly beautiful former sister-in-law?

Are you dealing with the Chen family to support your daughter?

Chen Muchu shook his head, feeling that it was not the case.

First, Lin Ruchu has never thought about this money for all these years, so why would she come out to support Chen Jiayi when they have fallen out?

Besides, his thoughts were similar to Yan Jing's. If Lin Ruchu had this ability, how could she have been driven out by the old man and the old lady?

With such means and such a character, it would be too late for the Chen family to keep him.
