Desire possesses, unable to escape from the palm of my roommate's uncle

On Feng Zhi’s birthday, the four girls had fun outside all afternoon.

After finishing their lunch in the commercial street at noon, the four of them took a quick stroll to digest their food and then headed straight to the video game hall.

Jiang Wanyi bought a few hundred coins and stood in front of the coin pusher with Fu Miaoxi for ten minutes.

"Xixi, do you think we can blow hundreds of them out of here?"

Fu Miaoxi glanced at the four groups of people who were pushing coins. One group was a father with his six-year-old daughter, two groups of couples, and a high school student who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She thought about it and whispered to Jiang Wanyi, "I think if those two couples leave, there's still a good chance."

"Really? Why do I feel like the high school student's is easier to push out?"

"The one that the high school student was playing with had very few coins and was easy to push out, but basically, you had to push four coins to get one out, so it was a losing proposition."

"But you see, those two couples are secretly competing with each other because they didn't pay much attention to timing and technique when throwing, which resulted in the layer of coins behind them being too thick."

"They don't have many coins left. Once they push out the front ones, we'll push out the back ones."

The two couples quickly spent all their coins and left some for the claw machine game.

Under Fu Miaoxi's guidance, Jiang Wanyi successfully lifted a large stack of gold coins from the coin pusher after inserting more than fifty coins. The pile of gold coins fell down with a loud noise, causing several coin pushers nearby to start shaking.

Fu Miaoxi took the opportunity to throw a dozen or so to the side, and then pushed out a bunch of them.

The four of them divided nearly 900 coins equally and completely let themselves go in the arcade.

Lu Zhaozhao and Jiang Wanyi took over the dance machine and danced so happily that their hair was disheveled like Mei Chaofeng.

Fu Miaoxi actually found a music game co-branded with an anime in this arcade. She had a rare moment of free time for entertainment and started typing on the keyboard.

Feng Zhize is determined to catch all the claw machines in the entire arcade, big and small.

After watching the movie in the evening, Feng Zhi and Fu Miaoxi, two veteran anime fans, took photos in front of the character posters and posted them on their Moments.

Feng Zhi posted a nine-grid photo that included his day's itinerary, thanking his roommates for accompanying him on his birthday.

Lu Zhaozhao and Jiang Wanyi mostly posted photos of themselves as a couple or as a group of four.

When Fu Miaoxi saw that all the materials had been sent out, she sent a photo she took of four people sitting in the seats of a movie theater, and a photo of herself holding a standee of an anime character.

Jiang Qingyan never checked his Moments, as he thought it was a way to kill time.

Helplessly, when he talked to Fu Miaoxi on the phone at night, he asked Fu Miaoxi what she was doing. Fu Miaoxi said that she was selecting photos to post on WeChat Moments.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qingyan waited and waited, and looked through all the photos in Jiang Wanyi's circle of friends until he finally got Fu Miaoxi's call.

The circle of friends that Fu Miaoxi posted was very simple, with a heart as the text and two pictures.

But Jiang Qingyan looked left and right and was not very satisfied.

Thinking back to the last time when Fu Miaoxi talked about the boy she liked, the first person she thought of was actually an anime character, Jiang Qingyan felt that it was necessary for him to correct this little girl's view on love.

Maybe she didn't find the one who moved her heart in real life, so she turned her attention to the imaginary characters?

After all, who would spare the time to entrust their emotions to someone else when life is in a mess?

Before Jiang Qingyan could figure out what was going on, he flipped through the calendar and suddenly realized that there was an important moment in a few days.

It was his father, Jiang Chunshan’s birthday.

It is also the only day in the year that Jiang Qingyan has to return to the old house.

On this day, his elder brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Wanyi's parents, will also come back from abroad to celebrate Jiang Chunshan's birthday.

Out of selfishness, Jiang Qingyan didn't really want to see his father, but as an adult, it was not worth wasting too much emotion on attending a family dinner.

Therefore, he simply asked Li Zhen and Chen Jue to clear their time that night, and drove back to the Jiang family's old house as usual.

But Jiang Wanyi, who was at school, was very nervous, feeling a little uneasy amidst her joy.

On the one hand, she could see her parents whom she hadn't seen for three or four months. On the other hand, every time at such a banquet, her grandfather and her uncle met, he would inevitably say a few sarcastic words to her uncle.

Deep down, she strongly disapproved of her grandfather's behavior, but her father and uncle turned a blind eye to it, and as a junior, she didn't want to step out.

Fu Miaoxi noticed that Jiang Wanyi was distracted and was a little puzzled.

Jiang Wanyi smiled and said, "It's okay, Xixi. My parents have returned to China. I'm going home tonight."

It wasn't that she wanted to hide it from Fu Miaoxi on purpose, but she felt that Jiang Qingyan might not want anyone, especially Fu Miaoxi, to know how unexpected his birth was.

Jiang Qingyan and his elder brother Jiang Qingyu are half-brothers, but few people in the outside world know this.

The main reason is that the two brothers are very similar in appearance. Jiang Qingyu looks gentle, while Jiang Qingyan is more refined and noble.

And no one knows that President Jiang had remarried. After all, that was more than 20 years ago.

More than 20 years ago, Jiang Qingyu's mother died of depression after wasting several years because she did not receive good care after giving birth.

During the years when she suffered from postpartum depression, Jiang Chunshan cheated on her. After getting drunk, he forced an employee in his company and used this as a threat to demand that the female employee be his underground mistress for a long time.

The same year his first wife died, the female employee discovered she was pregnant. Jiang Chunshan blamed the death of his first wife on the female employee, believing she was the reason he failed to take good care of his first wife.

Therefore, female employees were not allowed to have abortions, let alone leave him. They were forced to give birth to the child and use their own life and the child's life to repay what they owed to the Jiang family.

The female employee was tortured by Jiang Chunshan to the point of mental disorder and has been staying in a sanatorium for more than ten years.

Since she was born, Jiang Qingyan has been looked down upon by Jiang Chunshan.

But Jiang Qingyu and the Jiang family's servants are not blind or stupid. To put it bluntly, the only person wrong in this matter is Jiang Chunshan.

He single-handedly destroyed the happy lives of two families, yet he deceived himself into thinking that he was not at fault, and instead blamed the mistake on a powerless woman and a child.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingyan himself was also very capable. After he became an adult, he began to gradually swallow up the Jiang family's huge industry. With Jiang Qingyu's non-competitiveness, within a few years, he became the actual person in charge of the Jiang family.

"Ayan, you've worked hard lately." Jiang Qingyu brought his wife and chatted with Jiang Qingyan in the living room of the old house. "The suburban project has been in preparation for many years and is now on the right track."

Jiang Qingyan shook his head, indicating that it was no big deal.

Jiang Qingyu was not annoyed by Jiang Qingyan's indifferent attitude. After all, his younger brother had always been so indifferent.

He smiled and started chatting with Jiang Wanyi about family matters.

"Dad, Mom, you won't be returning to the US until after New Year's Day?" Jiang Wanyi said happily, "Then do you want to go to school and watch the New Year's Day play our drama club is rehearsing? We've adapted the story of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu."

Jiang Wanyi turned to Jiang Qingyan excitedly: "By the way, uncle, you should go too!"

Jiang Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, having a hunch that it had something to do with Fu Miaoxi.

"Xixi is also in the cast, she plays Concubine Yu!"
