“Oh?” Old Mr. Ying’pu raised one of his already graying eyebrows, his lips curling slightly. How could he not catch the thoughts of this honest grandson! However, he carefully concealed the cunning smile in his eyes. “What do you mean? Are you planning to return and inherit the Ying’pu family?”
Ying’pu Cangxie was overwhelmed by this sudden and great joy. He hurriedly tried to push everyone aside, starting with his grandfather and those impertinent secretaries.
“So, in that case, I will…”
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a powerful female voice rang out, followed by a loud bang as the wooden partition between two guest rooms collapsed.
A mature and beautiful woman appeared, her face full of anger, with a helpless figure behind her.
“Mom?!” Shang Keixin was stunned.
“This is your moth…” Ying’pu Cangxie was about to ask, but before he could finish, the beautiful middle-aged woman had rushed in front of him, pushed Shang Keixin aside, and grabbed his collar, glaring at him. “What exactly have you found?”
“Let him go, Mommy!” Shang Keixin was frightened and called out.
“This is not what we originally agreed upon,” Old Mr. Ying’pu protested from the side about this unexpected arrival.
“I don’t care what you agreed on! You’ve casually brought home an heir. What if my gluttonous… no, stupid daughter runs away with him?”
Qin Fake gripped Ying’pu Cangxie’s collar and glared at the old man who was almost omnipotent in Japanese high society.
“Mommy… let him go! What are you talking about?”
Shang Keixin, who had been in a state of confusion and daze, finally showed a more lucid expression. She got up from the ground, grabbed her mother’s hand, and tried to make her release the unresisting Ying’pu Cangxie.
Seeing this, her mother let go of him but then pointed at his nose and said to Shang Keixin, “This guy is Ying’pu Cangxie, supposedly the heir to Japan’s most noble and prestigious family. Silly daughter, you’d better think carefully. If he really does that noble profession, he won’t be able to cook for you often!”
“Ah?!”
Qin Fake, true to her reputation as the legendary female judge who had sent countless villains to prison, hit the nail on the head, instantly pulling Shang Keixin from her reunion dream back to reality.
