Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 42 - 42 Prideful Mother.

In the big hall room of the 'Yan Resident", many people were sitting there when Yan Luhan and Mu Jiang were quarrelling.

"You two, stop now. How can grown-up people like you be so childish?! Can't you see your elders are here?" An extremely angry voice spoke up as she glared at them. The two men became quiet when they heard her For a minute, they forgot that they were before a lot of people. 

Su Mengsi looked at Yan Luhan as she spoke in a gentle voice, "Xiao Lu, what did Sheng Ruming say? Will he come tonight?" She asked as she observed his face.

Yan Luhan coughed slightly as he told his mother, "Ma, Sheng Ming said he will come. He is busy so he told us not to arrange for a party..." 

"What?! He won't come? Then why did you tell at first that he'll come?" Su Mengsi asked in a doubtful voice as she peeked at the woman seated beside her. Wei Airan's face became gloomy as she listened to them.

"Let me finish first, won't you? Sheng Ming told us not to arrange a party but to make it a simple get-together between us. He said he is extremely busy." Yan Luhan told them slowly.

When Wei Airan heard it, she heaved a sigh. "At least he is coming tonight. In the past month, he has just come for a few hours to meet me as he was very busy. I only could see him for two days as his working schedule was very tight." Her tone had a tinge of sadness as she told them.

Suddenly, Mu Jiang opened his mouth and blurted out, "Of course he was very busy. I don't know which medicine he has taken as he worked hard like a donkey. Didn't aunt Wei see his achievements?! Ah! The 'Sheng Industry and Corporation' have become very famous overnight only for his great contribution. Who doesn't know about it in our social circle? Precisely, he has to work to death for this."

"What donkey?! It is called a hard worker. Aunt Wei, don't be mad. This fool always talks like this." Yan Luhan stomped on Mu  Jiang's right foot as he spoke up.

When madam Sheng heard about his son's praise she was gloating in her mind. Her face had a touch of pride as she spoke up, "It's nothing. Just some trivial achievements, nothing to be mentioned about. If you can work hard like him, I'm sure 'Yan Business Group' can be more successful if you put a bit more effort." 

Wei Airan spoke in a gentle voice; not sounding sarcastic or arrogant but Su Mengsi clenched her hands tightly when she heard it. Her smile became stiff as she listened to her. She didn't like anybody to give such advice to her children. 

Yan Ruomin patted her mother's hand to make her calm down. She ensured her by her eyes.

"If brother Ming is coming then shouldn't we make some arrangements for it? Even if we don't make it a party, we can make it a little special." Yan Ruomin told them as her face had a bashful smile as if she was shy.

Su Mengsi immediately echoed her daughter, "Yes, we should do it. Airan, what do you say?" 

Wei Airan became cheerful as she spoke up in haste, "Definitely." Then she thought she shouldn't waste any more time as she stood out. But then she remembered it was Yan Luhan's farmhouse where he would come. So, she looked at him and said straightforward, "Luhan, give me your farmhouse's address."

"Sure. Aunt, wait a second." Yan Luhan opened his phone as he messaged her the address.

Su Mengsi and Yan Ruomin exchanged side glances as they stood up simultaneously.

"Aunt, let me go with you. I can help you with the works." Yan Ruomin spoke with a coquettish voice and walked up to her. 

"Yes, Airan. Let Ruoruo help you there. I'll come after a while." Su Mengsi had an amicable smile as she urged them to go.

"Okay then. Ruo dear, let's go." Wei Airan said as she strode up ahead while Yan Ruomin followed her behind. 

Su Mengsi glanced at the four men in front of her and walked away to the second floor.

Four men were sitting in the sofa area but only Mu Jiang and Yan Luhan spoke up from first to last.

Feng Shaoling had an expressionless face while Feng Alin had up a humorous face as both of them seized up the two brave men in front of them.

Suddenly, Feng Alin burst into laughter as he pointed his right hand towards Yan Luhan and Mu Jiang.

"Hey! What are you laughing for? Huh! Is it funny?" Mu Jiang became angry as he ran up to Feng Alin and began to kick him.

Feng Alin was not someone to be trifled about. He also began to give back the beating to him. It was like the bantering between friends so nobody cared to stop them as they fell in the ground and rolled on top of dirty carpet.

Feng Shaoling and Yan Luhan stood up as they walked outside. Feng Shaoling glanced at him for a while as he spoke up, "I guess you only told him about a gathering between us brothers. Won't he be angry?"

"So what if he becomes? It's not like I've committed anything wrong. I just talked and coincidentally Aunt Wei heard me, that's it. You shouldn't think about him so much. It's not like you are his..." Yan Luhan stopped at the critical moment while he was mocking Feng Shaoling but when he saw his dark expression. "Okay, chill! I was joking." He told him as he rubbed his nose. Whenever he felt guilty, he would rub his nose. It was a habit of his from his childhood.

Behind them Mu Jiang and Feng Alin came while arguing like cat and dog. "Let's go." Feng Shaoling said slightly as he started to walk ahead. Feng Alin followed him as he showed a middle finger to Mu Jiang.
