1.336 If Im Being Scandalous, I Would Have Done It with Someone Else

Upon hearing her very offensive comment, Mrs. Yue and Yue Tingfengs expression completely changed to show that they were not having any of it. However, this time, Yan Qingsi did not wait for both of them to speak for her. Instead, she laughed hysterically and said, Well, you wouldnt find anything scandalous or unprofessional within my crew. Im pretty sure youll find more in a corporate setting right? I mean, youd probably know a thing or two about being scandalous, since you could climb the corporate ladder with little to no effort? Please dont be offended, I didnt mean to say it was you.

Zhou Nings expression instantly turned cold at her remark. She said in response, Of course I dont. Im not an actress like you. You guys

Yan Qingsi interrupted Zhou Nings reply and said, Well, I dont either. Since Im backed by the entirety of the Yues family, and seeing that my boss is here, no one would even dare think about being unprofessional. Me on the other hand? Well, even if Im being scandalous, I wouldve done it with someone else right?

Yan Qingsi turned and smiled at Yue Tingfeng. She said, Dont you think so, Boss?

Yue Tingfeng blushed at her comment as he thought about what happened that night with her. He cleared his throat and replied, Of course, no one would dare scandalize the Yue familys spokesperson. If you want to do something scandalous, do it with me then.

Both of them were flirting as if no one was around.

Yan Qingsi nudged Tingfeng a little, turned back, and said, I thought a person like you wouldnt be interested in trivial gossip in the entertainment world. If you would really like to know, I dont mind telling you though.

Zhou Nings lips tensed up. As a person of her own status and seeing how important her reputation meant to her, if she were to probe deeper, Qingsi would have labeled her as a gossiper.

Its fine. Thank you, Zhou Ning replied.

Feeling the tension in the room rising, Mrs. Helan frantically said, The foods already here. Please help yourselves everyone, except Miss Yan since besides her, everyone is family around this table. Hope you dont mind, Ill be helping myself to some food now.

Hearing this, Yan Qingsi gave Mrs. Helan a very complicated glare. She could not shake the feeling that Mrs. Helan was sidelining her out on purpose, especially when she pointed out that she was not one of them. It was an intentional shunning!

Dont worry Aunty Helan. Qingsi has me, Yue Tingfeng replied with a grin.

Mrs. Helan smiled in response. Her smile was warm and generous.

The only sounds that could be heard at the table were the sounds of Mrs. Helan and Helan Xiuses laughter. Not a single soul said anything.

Yan Qingsis plate had been piled up as high as it could get as both Mrs. Yue and Tingfeng were busy placing delicious food on her plate. There was no need for her to move a single muscle. She kept her head lowered and ate in silence. The meal tasted bland to her as she could feel tears welling up in her eyes.

Mrs. Yue pinched at Yan Qingsis shoulder and said, When did you become so skinny? You should be eating more.

Yan Qingsi simply nodded and said, Yea

Youre awfully quiet today brother. Is something bothering you? Helan Xiuse asked.

The mental strain was noticeable on Helan Fangnians face as he simply replied, Its nothing, just the case that Im working on.

Helan Xiuse pouted at his response. Its very rare for us to eat as a family these days, so stop thinking about work. Here. This is your favorite squirrel squid dish. Give it a taste.

The both of you sure have a great relationship, Mrs. Helan smiled and said, When Xiuxiu came back home, the first thing she told me was that she wanted to be Miss Yans personal assistant and you had apparently refused her offer. So she was quite unhappy. However, I had scolded her. Its my fault for spoiling her too much since she was little. She always had a habit of being honest and blunt and not giving anything much thought. How can I allow my naive kid to be so troublesome to Miss Yan. Since you guys are quite used to keeping things in the dark, and there were things best kept hidden from everyone, its not appropriate for Xiuxiu. I had disciplined her since. Hope you dont mind Miss Yan.

This statement made Mrs. Yue furious as she bit down her chopsticks hard. She rolled her eyes and placed her chopsticks down. As if that statement was not obvious at finding flaws in Qingsis career. She angrily exclaimed, I dont quite understand what you mean by keeping things in the dark, and what do you mean by things best kept hidden from everyone. My son had been telling me that I would leave my home without my old brain. So please do me a favor and explain everything as simply as possible.
