Chapter 24: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Yun Qing thought about it carefully. Although Yan Chen was quite indifferent to her now, since he took her home after she got drunk, regardless of whether he took her in because he couldn't stand her pestering him, she should see a glimmer of hope and become even more annoying by clinging to him.
After figuring it out, Yun Qing immediately increased the number of times she sent messages to Yan Chen, sending dozens of messages a day even though Yan Chen never replied.
As a result, the text messages look increasingly careless, with a lot of repetitive content.
For example, he would receive three messages every day asking if he had eaten properly, sent in the morning, noon, and evening.
One of the messages was a reminder to go to bed early, sent in the evening.
Two of the rules were to allow him to rest when he was tired from work, and to send the documents in the morning and afternoon.
There will also be a "Good Morning Kiss" emoji and a "Good Night Kiss" emoji.
Along the way, there will be separate messages: "I miss you," "Do you miss me?", "I miss you again," "Do you never miss me?", "I really miss you," and "I know you don't miss me..."
Although she would occasionally send other messages, the ones mentioned above were sent every day, making it feel like a complete routine with no sincerity.
Moreover, half of them were messages like "I miss you, but you don't miss me," which made Yan Chen suspect that she simply didn't have enough messages to reach the required number, so she came up with this method to make up the difference.
In any case, Yan Chen was not moved at all, and even became angrier the more she thought about her perfunctory attitude.
What's the point of just sending messages?
Yan Chen was seething with anger, and as a result, when Yan Xiu tentatively stretched out his claws, Yan Chen swiftly chopped them off.
Yan Chen didn't really take Yan Xiu seriously. If he really had that ability, he wouldn't have had to leave the country in such a sorry state.
The old man is easy to deal with; his weakness is Yan Xiu.
As long as Yan Xiu is under control, he will have no choice but to act cautiously.
Yan Xiu, who was met with a crushing blow the moment he took action, was so angry that he almost smashed things. Fortunately, he still had some sense and remembered that he was in the Yan family, so he held back in the end.
He barely managed to suppress his anger and prepared to leave.
However, he bumped into Lu Miaomiao at the stairwell. Because he was in such a bad mood, he didn't even try to help her up when he saw her fall.
Lu Miaomiao plopped down on the ground, wincing in pain. When she looked up at Yan Xiu, who was expressionless and showed no remorse, she was filled with rage.
However, she didn't want to make a scene over such a small matter. Although Yan Xiu was not liked by Yan Mingxuan and his wife, he had the old man's support.
She couldn't guarantee that Madam Yan would stand up to the old man for her sake.
What if the eccentric old man kicks her out of the Yan family because of this?
Now that she lives in the Yan family home, even though Yan Chen has moved out, he always comes back to visit his parents, which gives her the opportunity to get to know him.
Lu Miaomiao suppressed her anger, got up and prepared to go back to her room, secretly cursing Yan Xiu a hundred and eight times in her heart.
Yan Xiu squinted at her retreating figure, lost in thought, before following her.
As soon as Lu Miaomiao opened the door, she felt a strong force push her inside. After she steadied herself, she turned around and saw Yan Xiu enter her room and close the door.
She was startled and quickly took two steps back, demanding sharply, "What do you want to do?"
Yan Xiu resumed his gentle and refined demeanor, and said in a mild tone, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Then, under Lu Miaomiao's suspicious gaze, he asked, "You like Yan Chen, but unfortunately Yan Chen doesn't like you, right?"
Lu Miaomiao was hit where it hurt and was about to explode.
Yan Xiu spoke first, "How about we cooperate? I'll help you get Yan Chen, and you help me stop Yan Chen from targeting my company."
"Is Yan Chen targeting your company?"
Lu Miaomiao was new to the circle of the wealthy and hadn't made many friends. Although she could tell that the Yan family was not harmonious, she didn't really know the specific reasons for their discord.
I just imagine it must be related to family wealth; aren't all wealthy families like that?
Hearing Yan Xiu's words, she was somewhat surprised. How did it become that Yan Chen was targeting Yan Xiu's company? Shouldn't it be that Yan Xiu wanted to fight Yan Chen for the family fortune?
Seeing that Lu Miaomiao had taken the bait, Yan Xiu was very satisfied, but said helplessly, "I have my own company. Although it can't compare to Yan's, it's enough for me to live a carefree life. But Yan Chen seems to be very worried that I will compete with him for Yan's."
"I came back to China this time to accompany my grandfather. Although he has an eccentric temper, he missed his son and grandson after being away for so long. However, Yan Chen seems to have misunderstood that I came back to fight him for the family fortune. He even targeted my company because of this, which caused me a lot of trouble."
"Right now, all I want is to protect myself."
Lu Miaomiao was skeptical. "Why should I believe you?"
Yan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know that I am not a biological child of the Yan family? Even if I wanted to seize the family property, how could I possibly compete with Yan Chen? No matter how much my grandfather loves me, his own grandson is still Yan Chen. He would never help me seize the family property. I know my place."
Lu Miaomiao truly didn't know that Yan Xiu wasn't the biological son of the Yan family. Now that she suddenly learned this, she was filled with shock, and because of this, she began to believe Yan Xiu's words.
Yan Chen appears to be a cold and ruthless person, and it's quite possible that he might preemptively target Yan Xiu to prevent any potential problems.
Lu Miaomiao pondered for a moment, then made a decision in her heart, "Can you really help me get Yan Chen?"
Yan Xiu smiled with satisfaction, "Of course."

Yun Qing originally wanted to go even further and harass Yan Chen at his door, but these past few days she has been dragged along by Madam Lu to help Lu Shaoan choose a marriage partner.
Madam Lu also brought up the fact that Lu Miaomiao was Madam Yan's goddaughter, hoping to raise Lu Shaoan's status and find someone with a better family background.
Yun Qing has a role in this.
In the novel, Madam Lu also helps Lu Shaoan choose a marriage partner.
Moreover, at that time, Lu Miaomiao was not Madam Yan's goddaughter, but Yan Chen's wife, and her status was even more noble. Although Lu Miaomiao did not have a good relationship with the Lu family, she was busy being affectionate with Yan Chen and had not yet had time to completely break with the Lu family.
Therefore, it does not prevent Madam Lu from using her status to choose a better marriage partner for Lu Shaoan.
Madam Lu also took Lu Yunqing with her to invite the young lady she had chosen and her mother out for a visit, to test the waters first.
Then she encountered a rich young lady who disliked Lu Yunqing. She not only openly mocked Lu Yunqing, but also directly ridiculed her for losing such an outstanding fiancé.
Lu Yunqing was furious about this, which made her even more aggressive in her pursuit of Yan Chen.
Knowing full well that Yan Chen dislikes blurring the lines between public and private matters, she still used the excuse of discussing cooperation with Yan Chen to harass him at his company, and even tried to have something happen between them in Yan Chen's office.
As it happened, Lu Miaomiao, who came to the company to see Yan Chen, bumped into them. Lu Miaomiao was very unhappy about this, and you can imagine how angry Yan Chen was.
As a result, Lu Yunqing was thoroughly humiliated.
Yan Chen immediately ordered the security guards to throw her out of the company and instructed them to prohibit her from entering again.
