Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 48 What else would you do if you came home from a business trip and didn't look for you

The florist greeted us politely a few more times, carefully confirming every detail before hanging up.

Yan Zhuoyu flipped to the calendar; today was July 24th.

She had been living too comfortably lately, even forgetting the anniversary of her mother's death. No wonder she dreamt of the accident last night; it was a reproach for her negligence.

Yan Zhuoyu put down her phone, no longer interested in browsing Weibo, and went to bed early after washing up.

The next morning, she got up and went to the Yan family.

Although the three-story villa is not as magnificent as the Pei family's, it has its own unique elegance. The bamboo grove in the courtyard sways gently and is full of greenery, which is similar to the Chinese courtyard style of Yunwan Garden.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, a flower shop delivery truck was parked outside.

The driver was the florist. She wore thin-rimmed glasses and appeared gentle and intellectual. As soon as she saw Yan Zhuoyu, she stepped forward with a bouquet of pure white roses and said, "Miss Yan, this is the bouquet you ordered."

As the florist handed over the bouquet, he subtly glanced at Yan Zhuoyu. Seeing that she looked normal and not haggard or depressed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a long-time customer of the Yan family for over ten years, the eldest daughter of the Yan family is undoubtedly a person of impeccable character. Liu Ye has practically watched her grow up, and the recent online discussions have made her somewhat worried.

"Thank you, Sister Liuye."

Yan Zhuoyu accepted the bouquet of white roses. Her white dress accentuated her gentle and elegant appearance. She smiled and said, "If Sister Liuye hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten such an important day."

The florist shook her head, hesitant to speak, as there were some things that were inappropriate for her to say. In the end, she simply patted the other person's shoulder in a comforting manner.

"What's past is past. Don't let it bother you anymore. Live in the present, cherish the people around you, and don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."

After Sister Liuye left, Yan Zhuoyu had just entered the courtyard when a soccer ball flew towards her.

A boy of about ten years old rushed forward like a calf, saying arrogantly, "It's you again! Who gave you permission to come to my house!"

Yan Zhuoyu deftly dodged the ball, easily controlling it at her feet, and calmly looked at her half-brother.

"I was wondering why the Yan family never kept guard dogs; it turns out you stole their livelihood."

Yan Longyu was stunned, and it took him several seconds to realize that he had been scolded.

His face turned red with anger, and he roared furiously, "You wicked woman! I'm going to tell Daddy to kick you out!"

Yan Zhuoyu remained unmoved, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings as she calmly asked, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom is in the kitchen..."

Yan Longyu stood with his hands on his hips, his height not even as long as Yan Zhuoyu's legs. It was hard to tell whether he was a late bloomer or had inherited his mother's height.

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhuoyu swiftly grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him into the swimming pool beside her.

thump--

Yan Zhuoyu kicked the soccer ball away and sneered, "Your mother isn't even here, what are you so arrogant about? You've only learned the first two words 'dog relying on its master'?"

The Yan family compound was purchased in full by Jiang Yuelin, and all the designs in the compound, including the swimming pool, were done by her.

However, since Jiang Yuelin passed away, the swimming pool has been abandoned due to lack of use. Yan Shuting was too lazy to spend money to have it cleaned every day, resulting in moss floating on the surface of the water and emitting a foul odor.

Yan Longyu choked on several mouthfuls of water before surfacing. He could swim, and after climbing ashore, he cried out loudly.

Yan Zhuoyu sat leisurely under the shade of a tree, coldly watching him wail and howl. Good, it saved her the trouble of going in and "inviting" Yan Shuting out.

Not long after, the stepmother was brought out in a tirade and dragged Yan Shuting along.

Yan Shuting looked at his son, who was covered in mud, with slight disgust and impatience, but still asked, "Xiaolong! Are you alright?"

The moment he frowned, his stepmother began her act.

"Zhuoyu, Xiaolong is just a child, he doesn't understand things yet. He must have been naughty and upset you again. Don't take it to heart, he actually wants to be close to you..."

Yan Zhuoyu sat to the side, her expression indifferent, ignoring her stepmother's words and not even bothering to lift her eyelids.

Yan Shuting rebuked him sternly, "How can you be so rude! Your elders are speaking to you, and you don't even have basic manners! As an older sister, it's your responsibility to be tolerant of your younger brother! How can you be so ungrateful? Don't you respect your father? Don't you care about this family?"

The stepmother wiped her son's face with a towel and said softly, "Yes, Zhuoyu, we all miss you very much and hope you can make this your home. We've always kept your room."

Yan Zhuoyu fiddled with the bouquet of roses in her arms, her eyes full of mockery: "That's why I say you're all family, each one more shameless than the last."

"On the anniversary of your mother's death this year, all of you should kneel before her and make up for everything you owe her from previous years."

The stepmother gave him a wink, and Yan Longyu immediately started crying and fussing: "Daddy, I don't want to go, I don't want to go!"

Yan Zhuoyu ignored her and stood up on her own: "I brought the Pei family bodyguards with me. If you don't want to leave, you can be carried away."

"Outrageous! The person is dead, and you're still spouting these empty platitudes!" Yan Shuting roared in fury.

However, the bodyguards ignored his orders and aggressively carried the two elderly people and the child away.

Yan Zhuoyu walked at the front like a bandit leader, with Lawyer Yue waiting outside.

She stopped and turned to Yan Shuting, saying, "Also, Mr. Yan, this house is my mother's estate, and it's registered in my name."

"Now, I'm giving you two choices: one is to accept legal punishment and pay the price for illegally entering a residence; the other is to pay the property usage fees over the years, totaling 80 million. Of course, Attorney Yue and the property management staff will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the property, and any damage will incur additional costs."

-

After finishing his business in Italy, Pei Weijin took the earliest flight back to Beijing.

Secretary Meng was already waiting outside the airport. When she saw her boss come out through the private channel, she felt a pang of regret. His relaxed moment with his wife was over. She put on a professional smile and went to greet him.

"Mr. Pei, would you like to go directly to the company, or return to the villa to rest?"

The doors of the black Cullinan slowly closed, and Secretary Meng looked at President Pei sitting in the back through the rearview mirror.

Before getting married, he would go straight to the company and work non-stop like a robot. But after getting married, he works from nine to five every day and rarely comes home late.

This time it should be the same...

Sure enough, Pei Weijin took out his phone and saw that the message he sent to Yan Zhuoyu this morning had not been replied to yet. He said, "Go back to the villa and go find Madam."

Secretary Meng paused on the steering wheel: "President Pei, Madam is not at the villa. She went to the Yan family home, accompanied by Attorney Yue and several bodyguards."

Pei Weijin frowned slightly, recalling the phone call he had overheard earlier. He knew that Yan Zhuoyu did not have a good relationship with the Yan family, and that she had brought bodyguards with her this time. Was Yan Shuting trying to set rules for his wife again?

Thinking of this, his face darkened: "Turn around and go to the Yan family."
