Yan Sheng did not speak, but on the other side, Yan Jun's face was already taut. He threw away the spoon in his hand unhappily.
"Clang... "
The spoon smashed into the plate, making a piercing sound.
The people on the table all looked at him, their eyes filled with surprise.
Yan Jun did not seem to mind at all. His body leaned back in the chair, his arms crossed.
His narrow and long Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Meeting Yan Qing's gaze, he said coldly, "do we need an outsider like you to interfere in our family matters? "
One sentence instantly excluded Yan Qing.
"You! " This made Yan Qing's heart burn with anger. His amber-colored eyeballs almost spat out flames. Just as he was about to flare up, he was stopped by Yan Youcheng.
"Qing 'er, Xin Yu is your sister-in-law after all. Don't be rude. " Yan Youcheng pressed on the back of Yan Qing's hand and advised him earnestly.
The first half of his sentence was for Yan Qing to hear, but the second half was for Yan Jun to hear.
Unfortunately, Yan Jun did not pay any attention to him. His dark eyes that were as deep as the night were staring at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing knew very well that he had yet to accomplish his major task, so he could not anger Yan Youcheng at this time. He could only pretend to be an obedient child in front of him.
Therefore, he took a deep breath and averted his gaze, not bothering to argue with Yan Jun. "I was the one who misspoke. "
These five words were spoken through gritted teeth!
However, Yan Jun merely swept a glance at everyone on the table. He was not in the mood to eat, so he got up and left.
Ji Xinyu looked at her son and knew that he was protecting her. She was both touched and a little self-reproachful at the same time.
If she had not been so impulsive back then, perhaps she would not have owed Yan Qing anything... ...
But even if time had reversed and given her another chance to start over, she would still have fired at Zhou Lingfang without hesitation.
There was no right or wrong, only what was right and what wasn't.
Yan Sheng could see through her thoughts. He sighed and tightened his grip on Ji Xinyu's hand.
Xia Jinqi, who had been playing the role of a bystander all along, suddenly felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Yan Youcheng was helpless.
The mistake from back then had already been made.
His son and grandson were on bad terms, and the family was in a mess. But he still wanted to do his best to protect this family.
Ji Xinyu was helpless.
It was supposed to be a life for a life. Zhou Lingfang murdered her son and could get away with it for 20 years. She only wanted to avenge her son, but she attracted Yan Qing's hatred. In the end, it was her fault.
How did the world become like this?
Yan Qing was also helpless.
Faced with his father's duplicity and favoritism towards Yan Jun, faced with the enemy who killed his mother, not only could he not take revenge, he had to force a smile and eat with her at the same table.
Yan Sheng was even more helpless.
His biological father personally chased away his mother and picked up a younger brother whom he did not even acknowledge and raised him by his side.
Because of this younger brother, his own biological son had even died prematurely.
Xia Jinqi swept her gaze over everyone on the Table One by one.
She discovered that although they all lived under the same roof and sat down to eat at the same table, there was not much love between them, but the hatred between them was long-lasting.
However, it was for profit, for money, and for power.
It was these things that tightly bound them together. They were beaten until their heads were bleeding, and none of them were willing to let go.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinqi could not help but sigh in her heart.
In fact, wasn't she also in this vortex?
The only difference was that she still had Yan Jun..
But when she thought of Yan Jun's words just now and his cold gaze, Xia Jinqi felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
Would Yan Qing become a permanent barrier between them?
