Chapter 362: Chapter 336: At the Engagement Banquet (Monthly ticket 1900+ update)

Poor Yu Minglang not only had to clean up the mess but also had to take off Second Brother Yu’s shoes and clothes. Just when he was about to lie on the sofa and space out for a while, Panpan woke up. She went barefoot from room to room, couldn’t find Dong Yi, and began to cry loudly in the living room. Father Yu was too drunk to be of any help, so Uncle Yu Minglang had no choice but to hold and comfort the kid. Usually, Panpan was a well-behaved child, but after not seeing Dong Yi, she felt deeply hurt. No matter how Yu Minglang tried to comfort her, she just kept crying and even kicked him hard.

Yu Minglang was skilled in dealing with bad guys, but when it came to handling a three-year-old kid, he couldn’t exactly use his martial arts techniques on his nephew. Even if Panpan kicked him in the eye, he couldn’t cry out in pain and just carried on trying to soothe her.

His hand hadn’t fully healed, so he couldn’t put in too much effort. With his one good hand, he carried the tantrum-throwing Panpan, exerting all his strength to finally get her to fall asleep.

Right after this ordeal, feeling completely drained, Yu Minglang received a text from Xiao Qian.

Instantly energized, he pitifully sent Xiao Qian a message.

Xiao Qian opened it and couldn’t help but laugh at Yu Minglang’s text.

He had written: “Xiao Mei, let’s just have one child, taking care of kids is exhausting.”

Xiao Qian looked at the sleeping Dong Yi and tiptoed out to the hallway to make a phone call.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ve been wronged… Panpan kicked me… Her little feet may be small, but they hurt a lot when they hit me, especially on my arm. Xiao Mei, I can’t do one-armed push-ups now, I’m seriously injured.”

“…” Of all things to worry about, he’s concerned about this!

Xiao Qian thought in astonishment, could this be the legendary strong sexual desire?

After chatting a bit with Yu Minglang, Xiao Qian struggled to fall asleep. So, she got up, took out her phone card, and replaced it with another one.

This card was arranged by Zheng Xu, and it was unregistered, with no caller ID or any way to trace its origin. It only had a small amount of call credit, and once it was used up, it could be thrown away without being traced.

Xiao Qian had over 20 such untraceable, anonymous phone cards.

Ever since she found out who was spreading negative rumors about her, she decided to use one card per day. Once it was used up, she’d replace it with a new one, without anyone being able to trace the source.

The phone cards were a gift from Zheng Xu for their engagement, obtained through special relationships. Xiao Qian had insisted on having them, despite Zheng Xu’s contempt and incessant mocking of her character.

Yeah, it was pretty annoying.

Xiao Qian inserted the phone card and dialed a number, not speaking when the call connected so that no one would know whose voice it was. She then placed the phone beside her pillow.

The call connected, and a tired-sounding woman picked up the phone.

“Will you ever stop?”

Xiao Qian deliberately made a noise to indicate she was still there.

“What do you want?”

Xiao Qian yawned. She didn’t want anything; she just wanted to torment this person.

In her sleep, Dong Yi dreamt of tormenting Second Brother Yu again and giggled delightfully.

Hearing the sudden sound effect in the middle of the night, the party on the other end of the line was frightened and quickly hung up.

Xiao Qian removed the phone card and threw it into the trash bin.

Hmm, there are only 5 cards left.

Which means there are only 5 days left until her Engagement Banquet with Yu Minglang.

She wanted to keep tormenting this person until the big day and then finally see her true face.

Oh, how she was looking forward to seeing those dark circles under her eyes. After causing mischief, Xiao Qian felt refreshed and slept soundly until noon.

While Dong Yi and Second Brother Yu had a falling-out, the engagement banquet for Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang went on as planned.

In the end, Dong Yi attended the engagement party after being invited. She had lost some weight, but after being consoled by Xiao Qian for several days, her emotions had stabilized, and she no longer became emotional whenever Second Brother Yu was mentioned.

Xiao Qian knew Dong Yi was still suffering from her unrequited love and couldn’t move on overnight. Even though Dong Yi never confessed her feelings, in her heart, she felt like she had experienced a lifetime of sorrow.

Mother Yu single-handedly took care of the engagement banquet, so Xiao Qian didn’t have to do anything except show up for the fitting of her dress. It was very convenient.

Xiao Qian’s engagement feast was held in a hotel in Qiang City owned by Big Brother Yu.

That day happened to be Yu Minglang’s birthday.

Being able to secure the love of his life on his 25th birthday was the best gift Yu Minglang could have received.

To organize the engagement banquet, Father Yu and Mother Yu had a huge fight.

Mother Yu wanted a grand event, especially since Xiao Qian’s reputation had almost been ruined before. Even though Xiao Qian and the youngest Yu Family member collaborated to strike back nicely, Mother Yu’s heart still wasn’t satisfied. She wanted a grand engagement banquet to wash away the grievances from being judged by their relatives.

She was also afraid that if the event was too small, the relatives would think the Yu Family looked down on Xiao Qian.

However, Father Yu thought it was unnecessary to care about what those trashy relatives said and just do what they liked. He felt that having a talented daughter-in-law like Xiao Qian, who had even performed so well on TV, was more than enough to impress their old friends and neighbors.

Most of those relatives lived far away, and he didn’t care what they thought or how they acted. Bothering to invite them would mean having to attend to their demands.

Neither party would budge in their argument, and they almost came to blows.

Yu Minglang couldn’t stand it any longer, so he called Xiao Qian, telling her that his parents were going crazy over the engagement banquet. Mother Yu was so angry that she threatened to leave the house, while Father Yu claimed that if she dared to leave, he would eat braised pork for ten days straight as revenge.

This matter had gotten out of hand, and Xiao Qian’s position in the family now seemed even higher than Yu Xiaoqiang’s, so they hastily asked for her help.

Xiao Qian went to the study room and had a two-hour talk with Father Yu and Mother Yu behind closed doors. When she came out, both of the old couple had been pacified. Mother Yu was convinced, and Father Yu was very satisfied. He thought Xiao Qian had a good sense of the bigger picture, although he did feel a bit regretful that he wouldn’t be able to eat braised pork for ten consecutive days.

With Xiao Qian’s mediation, Mother Yu finally compromised. As it turned out, Xiao Qian sided with Father Yu in this matter, not agreeing to a grand event. At first, Mother Yu didn’t agree, so Xiao Qian presented her with a hypothetical scenario.

“If we invite all those people over, where will they stay? We have to arrange accommodations for them, right? They’d also want us to help them find jobs, right? If we can’t arrange jobs for them, then we’d have to help them find suitable partners, right? After all this trouble, our family wouldn’t have to do anything else for half a month except attend to these people.”

Seeing that Mother Yu was still not happy, Xiao Qian decided to play her trump card.

“Auntie, just think about it. Imagine if all those relatives of ours from far away each brought someone like Wang Xiaohong and crowded around you -”

“No way!” Mother Yu got chills at the mention of Wang Xiaohong’s name.

“Let’s just have a simple event.”

Xiao Qian silently made a cross in her heart, thanking Wang Xiaohong for her contributions to their family..
