"I'm just taking care of her as a junior. Your thoughts are too dirty," Yan Haojue retorted to his father without politeness.
"Alright, alright, Ye Wan. We believe him. He wouldn't lie. Since he said he sees you as a junior, it must be true. I've never seen you treat any other junior in the family so well, nor have you ever cooked for them," Old Yan found it very strange.
"Don't just talk about me. Aren't you the same? Have you ever been so patient with any other junior in the family?" Yan Haojue calmly countered.
Old Yan thought about it and realized that the juniors in the family were all troublesome. They had been petty-minded since childhood and were not likable.
But Ye Wan was different. Ye Wan was well-behaved and kind, truly making one feel for her.
"You two should eat more," Ye Wan said, quickly serving them food, not wanting the father and son to bicker.
Actually, she didn't dislike this father and son. It was strange, really. She had never been close to people since childhood, but when she was with this father and son, she felt very comfortable and intimate. She didn't mind interacting with them like family.

Because of the matter of returning the Jin residence to Jin Lan, Jin Qing and Chu Weixian had a disagreement. Jin Qing said she wanted to move out, but Chu Weixian refused to budge, saying he had grown attached to the place. In reality, he just wanted to hoard the old Jin family mansion.
The Feng Shui and location of the old Jin family mansion were exceptionally good, it occupied a large area, was designed with extreme ingenuity, and had a history of several hundred years. It was passed down from the Jin family ancestors. The villa they were currently living in was built during the Republic of China era. In short, it was extremely valuable.
Jin Lan wanted it, so he should just have it? On what grounds?
"Ah Qing, talk to Jin Lan. It's a waste for him to live alone in such a big place. Our family of three, and then we can bring my parents here to live out their retirement," Chu Weixian said.
"And will you also want to move in your brothers and sisters, along with their families?" Jin Qing's heart sneered inwardly. If she hadn't tried her best to stop him over the years, stubbornly refusing to let the Chu family members move in, Chu Weixian would have brought his entire family here long ago.
When he first proposed it, she wasn't unmoved, but some things that happened later made her abandon that idea. She had one condition: if he brought any member of the Chu family, they would divorce!
That's why the Chu family members hadn't been able to come over all these years.
However, the elder Chu couple had always been restless, even going so far as to accuse her of being unfilial, hoping Jin Qing would compromise. But she wasn't foolish; it was easy to invite a god, but difficult to send one away. They wouldn't be welcome here.
"That definitely won't happen. It's just my parents; they are indeed old now, and they miss their grandson too." Chu Weixian had never stopped trying to brainwash Jin Qing, but his wife was stubborn and simply refused to agree.
"There's something you might not know. The old residence was originally left to Jin Lan by my grandfather. My parents and I are just guests! So, it's nothing wrong for Jin Lan to want it back," Jin Qing said indifferently.
"What? Isn't this favoring sons over daughters? How can your family have such old-fashioned ideas! Such a big house should at least be divided equally between you and your brother. If you don't think for yourself, you should think for Xiao Yu, right? He's your own son. How can a brother be more important than a son? You need to leave him some property," Chu Weixian brought up Chu Yu again.
Jin Qing applied skincare products while saying coldly, "My property in the future will all belong to my son. If he wants the house, I will naturally help him buy a good one. You don't need to tell me this."
