Fu Yan Ting waited anxiously in the car, unsure if what Xin Yi told him was true. Had Yan Xi really returned? Was she really staying here? How should he greet Yan Xi when he saw her? These questions became a dilemma for Fu Yan Ting.
Just as Fu Yan Ting was lost in thought, a Maybach pulled up to the hotel entrance. Yan Xi was about to get out of the car when she turned and saw Fu Yan Ting's vehicle. She hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to be so low-key; his car was still the same one from five years ago. That's why Yan Xi recognized it immediately.
Seeing Xiang Bin Bin, who was in the passenger seat, chatting with his boyfriend on video, Yan Xi said, "I suddenly remembered I have a few things left to take care of. You go back and keep Zi Tong company."
"Haven't you finished all your business? You're still going out? You're really risking your life to make money." Just now, he had accompanied Yan Xi to meet a director who insisted Yan Xi drink with him. Fortunately, Xiang Bin Bin had stayed by Yan Xi's side, allowing her to narrowly escape. Yan Xi didn't want Xiang Bin Bin to know about Fu Yan Ting's presence. She explained calmly, "Yes, I have some things to do. You go keep Zi Tong company." Yan Xi's attitude was resolute. Xiang Bin Bin knew that once Yan Xi made up her mind, she wouldn't change it. He could only sigh helplessly and compromise.
After Xiang Bin Bin got out of the car, he also saw Fu Yan Ting's conspicuous Cullinan. Xiang Bin Bin, who had been somewhat drunk, sobered up instantly upon seeing Fu Yan Ting's car. Without a second thought, he hurried upstairs to find Yan Zi Tong.
Yan Zi Tong opened the door and leaned casually against it, raising an eyebrow. "What are you doing here, drunk?"
"Big Brother, your scumbag father is here." Xiang Bin Bin tried his best to remain calm. But damn it, how could he stay calm? It was Fu Yan Ting! Although Fu Yan Ting didn't appear in public often, he always had a presence in the public eye.
"Which scumbag father are you talking about?" Yan Zi Tong wasn't as agitated. He looked at Xiang Bin Bin and snorted, asking, "The one you're referring to?"
Xiang Bin Bin was already on edge, and hearing Yan Zi Tong's words made him even more unsettled. "Damn, Sister Yan is amazing, her love life is so rich!" Yan Zi Tong thought Xiang Bin Bin was just drunk and talking nonsense and didn't take his words to heart. Xiang Bin Bin had done similar things before when they were abroad.
Yan Zi Tong glanced at Xiang Bin Bin, then yawned. "I'm going to sleep. I stayed up too late last night and need to catch up on sleep now."
"Big Brother, why were you up so late? Aren't you afraid your mommy will find out and confiscate your computer?" Xiang Bin Bin's mind was completely racing, and he was led astray by Yan Zi Tong. Hearing Yan Zi Tong's words, he asked with concern. Yan Zi Tong rolled his eyes. He seriously doubted how Xiang Bin Bin had grown up. With his intelligence, he wouldn't even need to pay an "intelligence tax" when he went out. Yet, Xiang Bin Bin was completely unaware that he was being looked down upon by a five-year-old.
Xiang Bin Bin spoke again, "Big Brother, don't forget our purpose for coming to Yan Cheng. You can't let yourself get distracted by the internet and delay important matters."
"Otherwise, what do you think I was up late for last night?" Yan Zi Tong said calmly. If his sister hadn't been in poor health, their mother wouldn't have returned to Yan Cheng to find Fu Yan Ting. However, their mother was soft-hearted and certainly wouldn't bear to act against Fu Yan Ting, so the role of the executioner fell to him. Sigh. For his mother and sister, he was carrying out a great act of patricide.
"Ah, no, why am I getting sidetracked with you? Big Brother, your scumbag father, Fu Yan Ting, is here. He's waiting right outside the hotel." After saying this, Xiang Bin Bin recalled Fu Yan Ting's ruthless actions in the past and shivered. He looked at Yan Zi Tong and asked, "Big Brother, do you think Fu Yan Ting already knows we tampered with his car and is here to settle the score?"
"Uncle, be more confident," Yan Zi Tong said, unable to help but comfort Xiang Bin Bin when he saw how worried he was. Hearing Yan Zi Tong's words, Xiang Bin Bin's lips curved upwards. He knew Yan Zi Tong was the best, a little warm guy. Every time he encountered trouble, Yan Zi Tong would comfort him like this. Although he had no blood relation with Yan Xi, he was still very happy to have met Yan Xi in his lifetime, and though not family, their bond was closer than family.
As Xiang Bin Bin was lost in thoughts of a beautiful future, Yan Zi Tong poured a bucket of cold water on him. "Uncle, turn that question you just asked into a certainty." Hearing this, Xiang Bin Bin's whole demeanor changed. Xiang Bin Bin gritted his teeth, "Don't forget, you were involved too."
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I already shielded myself, so the surveillance cameras can't see me."
"What about me?"
"You didn't pay me, so why should I help you?" Yan Zi Tong said righteously. Xiang Bin Bin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't understand why Yan Zi Tong, whose mother Yan Xi wasn't short of money, seemed so obsessed with money.
"I don't care. Fu Yan Ting is your father, and you have more influence with him. If you don't help me, I'll sell you out. If he dares to do anything to me, I'll tell him you were involved too." Yan Zi Tong didn't take Xiang Bin Bin's unskillful threat to heart at all. He was contemplating whether to speed up the plan. After all, the doctor had told him his sister's body couldn't hold on much longer. He didn't want to trouble his mother; they had been in Yan Cheng for three days, and his mother hadn't acted against Fu Yan Ting. Yan Zi Tong was quite certain his mother still loved Fu Yan Ting and couldn't bring herself to act against him. Therefore, he had to proceed with plan B.
Yan Zi Tong returned to his room and looked out the window. Sure enough, Fu Yan Ting was standing there, leaning against his car, an undeniably striking figure. Yan Zi Tong pouted. He was indeed a scumbag. He couldn't even stand still properly, and he had to attract attention. No wonder his mother left him. When his mother was with him before, she must have suffered a lot of grievances. Despite his young age, Yan Zi Tong conjured up all the scumbag scenarios he could imagine. Then, Yan Zi Tong clenched his fists tightly. He vowed to become strong and tall to protect his mother and sister.
Ever since he learned that Fu Yan Ting could see from the surveillance cameras that it was Xiang Bin Bin who had tampered with his car, Xiang Bin Bin had become extremely uneasy. He felt that Fu Yan Ting would come looking for trouble.
