Jiang Qianhui smiled awkwardly. So Xie Qingyi had been telling Zhan Yanxun this behind his back.

No wonder Zhan Yanxun said she was arrogant and domineering, and that she was pretending.

Jiang Qianhui could feel the anger in Zhan Yanxun's eyes as he looked at her.

He should still be busy in a meeting at this time. He came back so quickly and looked at her with that kind of gaze. He must really be afraid that his mother will be wronged.

Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "We have a chef at home."

Xie Qingyi was taken aback; she thought he was going to scold Jiang Qianhui.

After all, she could sense that her son was very angry, and his eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Jiang Qianhui.

“There are only a few people in our family, why would we hire so many chefs? Just because you married into the Zhan family and became a young mistress doesn’t mean you can be extravagant and wasteful. After all, you can’t even have a child, what right do you have to enjoy such luxuries?”

Yan Lan and her group pretended to mediate the fight.

“Yanxun, Mom’s words may be harsh, but you know she’s been hoping you two would have a child soon after you got married. Now that Qiansui can’t have children, Mom is heartbroken, which is why I’m saying this. Qiansui must be upset too, which is why she’s doing this. Don’t blame Qiansui; we’re all women, so I can understand how she feels.”

Jiang Qianhui scoffed coldly from the side, thinking that Yan Lan was really good at talking.

He seemed to be mediating the fight, and he seemed to be speaking up for her, but every word he said was meant to condemn her to shame.

"Sister-in-law, can you understand how I feel? The way you said it makes it sound like I'm deliberately getting back at Mom."

Jiang Qianhui retaliated directly, showing that she didn't care about her current image in Zhan Yanxun's eyes.

She just couldn't stand the way she used PUA tactics.

"Chiho, I'm trying to help you."

"Really? You're very helpful. Don't help me anymore. I don't need it. Thank you."

Xie Qingyi trembled with anger and pointed at Zhan Yanxun, saying, "Look at her attitude."

"Sister-in-law, Mom said she hasn't had lunch yet, so could you please take her out to eat?"

Yan Lan was stunned. That's it?

"Yan Xun, of course I want to go out to eat. Otherwise, am I supposed to just sit here and starve to death?"

"You can go."

Xie Qingyi wanted to say something more, but she knew Zhan Yanxun's temper.

Yan Lan helped her up and said, "Mom, let's go eat." She didn't forget to turn to Zhan Yanxun and say, "Yanxun, talk things out, don't hit me. Qian Sui didn't mean to disobey Mom, you must talk to her nicely."

Jiang Qianhui was speechless. How blind she must have been in her past life to think that Yan Lan was helping her and to believe her PUA tactics.

Jiang Qianhui became increasingly speechless, but she didn't want to let them affect her appetite.

She needs to rest during her pregnancy and eat well.

Jiang Qianhui acted as if nothing had happened and continued to sit down and eat hot pot.

Eating duck intestines right in front of you, and slice after slice of tripe, the taste is simply amazing.

Completely ignoring Zhan Yanxun standing to the side.

"Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

While scalding the tripe, Jiang Qianhui said nonchalantly, "What's there to explain? It's just that I'm not qualified to be your Zhan family's daughter-in-law. You should hurry up and find another daughter-in-law for your mother. Look for someone who meets your sister-in-law's standards. I think Qiao Weiwei is the same type of person as your sister-in-law, and your mother will definitely like her."

Zhan Yanxun's face grew increasingly gloomy.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Jiang Qianhui looked up at Zhan Yanxun. This wasn't the explanation he needed. What was it then?

"You spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on gifts for a young male live streamer. What are you trying to do?"

Jiang Qianhui didn't expect Zhan Yanxun to bring up this matter. She had spent tens of millions of his money yesterday, and he hadn't said a word.

He spent hundreds of thousands today. He's really stingy.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you could spend the money as you pleased? Why are you going back on your word today, questioning even a mere few hundred thousand? Mr. Zhan, you're making millions in business every minute, don't you think you're losing money?"

"I never lose money here, and I don't need a green hat."

Jiang Qianhui understood. This proud man had a strong sense of pride and was afraid she would cheat on him. It was ridiculous that someone like him would act so unreasonably.

Jiang Qianhui ignored him and continued eating her hotpot.

"How long are you going to keep making a scene?"

"President Zhan, what you're saying is far too unfair. I've worked so hard to prepare this huge feast, how is this a fuss?"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"I'm sorry, I'm naturally slow-witted and can't guess what you're thinking."

Zhan Yanxun's face was gloomy. In the past two years, he had never had to worry much. Jiang Qianhui had always been able to handle things properly for him in both work and life. Although he didn't love her, he couldn't deny that she was indeed a very capable assistant. But now, her lazy attitude really made him angry.

"You really don't want to go to the Zhan Group anymore? You just want to stay at home as a rich housewife and give gifts to male streamers?"

"I think it's quite appropriate, and giving gifts to male streamers isn't illegal, right?"

Seeing Jiang Qianhui's listless attitude, Zhan Yanxun felt uncomfortable all over.

"I can promote you and make you the company's CFO."

Jiang Qianhui didn't expect Zhan Yanxun to back down, but she is indeed a talented person.

"President Zhan, this is true sincerity when negotiating with others."

“I just don’t want you at home making a mess of things. I don’t have the energy to deal with these trivial matters.”

"President Zhan, you haven't eaten yet, would you like something to eat?"

Jiang Qianhui just wanted to eat properly. She knew Zhan Yanxun didn't eat spicy food and hoped he would leave quickly. Even if he offered her good terms, eating was more important than being an emperor.

Even the most important things have to wait until she's eating.

Zhan Yanxun had been watching Jiang Qianhui eat with great relish.

He never eats strong-flavored food, but now he actually has some ideas about it.

Zhan Yanxun sat down next to Jiang Qianhui and began to eat.

Jiang Qianhui was dumbfounded, because she knew that Zhan Yanxun never ate greasy or spicy food, only light and refreshing food.

She was trying to get rid of him, not wanting to have dinner with him.

Zhan Yanxun took a bite of the meat slice, choked, and frowned, saying, "Why would you want to eat something like this?"

"What's wrong with hot pot? Hot pot is just so delicious."

Seeing Zhan Yanxun choke, Jiang Qianhui ate even more happily.

He ate heartily right in front of Zhan Yanxun, enjoying his meal immensely.

Zhan Yanxun looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "You like to eat this so much, how come I've never seen you eat it before?"

"You don't like to eat it anyway."

This was the truth, but Jiang Qianhui paused for a moment when she said it.

In her previous life, she did indeed accommodate Zhan Yanxun in every way, even her own tastes. But the two of them were fundamentally incompatible, weren't they?

"It's nice to change things up once in a while."
