Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 9: The Ass Reward Has Arrived

Shen Jintai got out of the car bleakly. As soon as he got out, the heat from outside rushed towards him. He fastened his buttons and watched Yan Qiuchi's car drove off.

The air conditioner in the car was too cold. It was a normal physiological response to the excitement! It wasn't what Yan Qiuchi thought!

This misunderstanding was really embarrassing. He wasn't some prodigal kid who reacted to lust. He was a 1! His "head" wouldn't rise for another 1!

Mrs. Yan was in the middle of sending off her sisters when she saw Yan Qiuchi's car coming from the distance. After sending off her sisters, she immediately followed Yan Qiuchi upstairs: "So fast. Did you send him home properly?"

Yan Qiuchi said "Nn" and continued to walk to his room.

Mrs. Yan said: "Wait a minute. I have something to tell you."

They both went to the study.

Mrs. Yan: "I heard that you invested in the TV series that Xiao Jin is participating in?"

"This is one of our company's main film and television projects this year." Yan Qiuchi said: "I know what you are going to say. I have always kept public and private issues separate. The casting is the responsibility of the producer and the director. I will not interfere. Don't worry."

"That's good," Mrs. Yan said solemnly: "Xiao Jin has a lot of issues at home right now so he can't help it. It's also pitiful that he's trying to make a comeback. He hates acting the most, yet now in order to make a living, he has to do what he doesn't like. Even if you don't like him, don't embarrass him. In any case, you both grew up together. Now that he's experiencing difficulties, we must try to help him."

Yan Qiuchi only responded with a: "Nn".

The mother son pairs have always been relatively distant. Usually, they had nothing to talk about when they were together. It was strange that they were biologically related as their relationship was even worse than that of strangers.

Since it was her birthday today, it was rare for her son to be so filial to her. She went on to ask: "You are not young anymore. Why haven't you fallen in love? I heard that you like an artist in your company named Bai Qingquan. Is this true?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiuchi said directly: "You shouldn't listen to Shen Jintai's words. Don't take them seriously."

Mrs. Yan was a little unhappy in her heart. For Shen Jintai's sake, she barely squeezed out a smile and said: "Look at me. In a blink of an eye, I'm already fifty. Time flies by so fast. It only seems like yesterday that I was young woman and you were still a little baby who just started preschool... Speaking of this, I remembered when your Aunt Lin was pregnant with Jintai. The two of us discussed that if she gave birth to a girl, she would become my daughter-in-law in the future. In ancient times, this would be an arranged marriage."

Yan Qiuchi said: "Mom, if you have nothing else say, I'll going to change my clothes. Dad and the others are still waiting for me."

Mrs. narrowed her smile and gave Yan Qiuchi a hard pat on the shoulder, which cause her to hurt her hand. "Have you grown taller recently?" she frowned.

Yan Qiuchi: "Mom, I'm twenty-five."

"Oh..." Mrs. Yan smiled wryly: "Time really flies."

Shen Jintai felt indescribably embarrassed and returned home with a blushing face.

Just as he was about to enter the house, Lin Xu, who was next door sitting on the balcony called out: "Sister!"

What god damn* sister.

*Big-headed ghost (姐你个大头鬼啊) = it's basically cursing/swearing and depending on which dialact could refer to an unlucky person or thing or a rich person.
