Chapter 1709: Chapter 16: Yun Boss and Little Cousin Extra (Part 2)
Jing Hanchuan was speechless; the crabs they’ve been raising this year, Yun Hezhi didn’t take less, and today he took quite a few more.
...
Crabs are cold in nature and not suitable for people with colds or fevers, so all these crabs were sent to the Fan Family.
Fan Mingjue then realized that the crabs his daughter often brought home before were probably given by Yun Hezhi; he’s not a big fan of them and usually gave them to the Jiang Family. But now the situation is different, since it’s a gift from his son-in-law, he naturally has to eat them.
The Fan Family cooked the crabs and naturally invited Yun Hezhi to stay for dinner at home.
Yun Hezhi also took the opportunity to tell the Fan Family that his parents wanted to come to Beijing to meet them.
The Fan Family is not foolish; Yun Hezhi’s family is in Pingjiang, coming and going would be tiring and torturous.
It’s definitely a rather formal meeting, likely hoping to finalize things between the two of them. The couple’s relationship is stable, and the Fan Family is satisfied with Yun Hezhi, so meeting up is no problem.
This matter was soon settled.

News of Fan Zhengyu’s lifelong event reached the Jiang Family first.
Before Fan Mingyu could speak, Jiang Jinsang directly said:
"Yun Boss’s parents came personally? They must be sincere. We can’t be rude. My cousin doesn’t have a brother, so as her cousin, I have to help elevate the occasion."
He spoke with confidence, but everyone knew what he was really thinking. He still harbored resentment over last time when Yun Hezhi outsmarted him and wanted to give him a hard time.
"Xiaowu, Zhengyu’s matter is serious. Don’t go causing trouble." Fan Mingyu was afraid he’d do something rash.
"Mom, maybe I should go too, I’ll keep an eye on Fifth Brother." Tang Wan laughed.
In the end, the couple went together.
Later, they heard that someone from the Jing Family might come that day.
The Jiang brothers only have one cousin, Jiang Yanting also said he wanted to go.
Then Jiang Chengsi somehow heard Jiang Jinsang was going to make trouble, and wanted to join in the fun, especially since if the Jing Family members were going, it would be a lively occasion; even Qi Zeyan joined in.
Qi Zeyan shamelessly said:
"Although I’m not a blood brother to Yanting or Xiaowu, I’ve always seen Zhengyu as my own cousin."
Fan Zhengyu was speechless:
I meet you only a few times a year, now you’re claiming a connection?
...
This matter quickly spread around the small circle, and over by Jing Hanchuan, he inexplicably received a call from Duan Linbai, who started with:
"I heard you’re in a feud with the Jiang Brothers?"
"Who told you that?"
"That’s what everyone’s saying, they are many in numbers, can you handle it alone? If not, I’ll come to help you."
"..."
As the story spread, it completely changed in nature — originally a joyous event, it turned into sounding like a powder keg ready to explode, as if two groups were about to brawl.
In the end, it seemed like it was no longer about Yun Hezhi and Fan Zhengyu meeting the parents, but a matter between two groups.
But the two concerned parties were busy with their rehearsals and performances, too occupied to care about these things; since they aren’t part of the inner circle, they couldn’t receive immediate updates, leading to them being oblivious as rumors swirled outside.
**
On the meeting day, the location was set by Yun Hezhi, at a farmhouse in the Beijing suburbs.
The location was recommended by Jing Hanchuan, close to where both families lived, so they didn’t choose the city center; having home-cooked dishes seemed suitable.
Yun Hezhi and his parents arrived a bit early; he greeted everyone at the door, only to find a whole bunch of people arriving unexpectedly.
Jiang Jinsang coming was expected, but why did Jiang Chengsi and Qi Zeyan show up...
This was understandable, they all treated Fan Zhengyu as their sister and came to support the occasion, but he couldn’t understand when Jing Hanchuan’s group arrived, including the Jing Madam Sheng Aiyi, who was his benefactor and mentor for his development in Beijing, but...
Why was Duan Liubai here to join the fun too!
Did this matter involve him?
He directly said:
"This is my farmhouse, I’m here for an inspection."
The private room Yun Hezhi reserved wasn’t big enough to sit everyone, so in the end, he sent all the ’irrelevant’ people like Jiang Chengsi, Qi Zeyan, Duan Liubai... to another private room.
Qi Zeyan and Duan Linbai were rivals; when they met, they would clash. When these two crossed paths, it was like a solar collision, making the atmosphere extremely awkward.
Jiang Chengsi was just there to watch and enjoy the drama, observing the two of them.
They both have children now, why were they still fighting when they met? How deep was the grievance they held since childhood?
