Qiao Chuchu stood up straight, her expression filled with concern: "It's fine, I know why you're angry."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan became interested: "Oh?"
Qiao Chuchu bypassed him and stood in front of Ji Yan Chuan: "Stay away from my son—this gentleman!"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
Ji Yan Chuan froze, looking at Wei Sheng Wen Zhan with absurdity: "Mr. Wei Sheng, you're just letting this crazy woman lose her mind in front of you? Her mental state isn’t great, and she could fly up and kick you at any moment."
Qiao Chuchu snickered: "Don't worry, the soles of Qiao Grandpa’s shoes will always stay close to you."
Ji Yan Chuan’s expression darkened: "Crazy woman, don’t push it too far!"
Qiao Chuchu refused to back down: "I can go further. Want to try?"
Ji Yan Chuan: "..."
He clenched his fist, his murderous intent evident in his eyes.
He had failed to have Qiao Chuchu dealt with, and had originally thought of letting her off, but now this person was still jumping around in front of him!
Looking for death, huh?
Qiao Chuchu sensed Ji Yan Chuan's murderous intent and stared back at him without fear.
[Originally, I didn’t plan to have any interactions with the Wei Sheng family, since they're all ruthless characters, but now, this Mr. Wei Sheng Wen Zhan, who looks exactly like my son, is being angered to death. Can I just sit by and watch? Can I let my daughter live in widowhood?!]
[I can't!]
[Besides, Ji Yan Chuan looks all fine and dandy now, but how he will eventually anger my son to death, I still remember it clearly.]
[Ji Yan Chuan showed Wei Sheng Wen Zhan the photos of the four people from the Wei Sheng family who had passed away. To provoke him, Ji Yan Chuan even told him how his brother and sister had died.]
[Originally, Wei Sheng Wen Zhan had already been on the brink of death from exhaustion after working non-stop for seven days straight, with no time to sleep, having to take over the work of his deceased siblings. Being pushed by Ji Yan Chuan, he was directly angered to death.]
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s eyes swirled with deep meaning, and he shot Ji Yan Chuan a sidelong glance.
So, he thought Ji Yan Chuan was just a reckless fool, but turns out, he’s someone who knows how to hit people where it hurts.
He liked dealing with such villains.
Just as he was thinking, Qiao Chuchu suddenly beckoned to him with a finger: "Come a little closer."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan furrowed his brow imperceptibly.
No one had ever called him like that.
Yet, he still patiently leaned down, bringing his ear closer.
Qiao Chuchu spoke in a mysterious tone: "Mr. Wei Sheng, stay away from this Ji Yan Chuan. Don’t do business with him, don’t talk to him—just be polite on the surface. He’s up to no good and his character is terrible. His family is just as bad, all driven by self-interest! They’re bad, bad people! And he’ll curse you! Ruin your fortune!"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
Is this how she’s trying to persuade him?
Interesting.
He said with interest, "So you can tell fortunes?"
Qiao Chuchu nodded seriously: "A little. I can read faces. Have you heard about Sister Yucan’s car accident? I predicted it through fortune-telling, that’s why I saved her."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s thin lips curled up, his tone even more languid: "Oh? Then what do you think of me? What kind of person am I?"
Without thinking, Qiao Chuchu replied, "You look like someone about to die."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "?"
Qiao Chuchu quickly corrected herself: "I mean, you look like someone people would fall in love with!"
[Can’t let him know that next year he’ll be the one to anger Ji Yan Chuan to death, or else his year will be ruined.]
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "..."
His year was already ruined.
Ji Yan Chuan stood opposite the two, watching them.
Standing together, they created a strangely mismatched pairing.
Although Wei Sheng Wen Zhan was older, he didn’t look it at all. His skin was firm and wrinkle-free, resembling a cold, pale vampire who had crawled out of a coffin, exuding the aura and presence of a mature man.
Standing at about 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a sharp suit, he stood next to Qiao Chuchu, slightly lowering his head to listen to her speak.
Due to the significant height difference, he didn’t want to lower his body too much, so instead, Qiao Chuchu stood on tiptoe to get closer to him.
Together, they looked like royals who had seen bloodshed and could manipulate everything, listening to a delicate young lady sharing her naive little secrets.
Ji Yan Chuan grew more and more displeased: "Mr. Wei Sheng, would you care for breakfast with me?"
He glanced at Qiao Chuchu: "Just the two of us. I have business to discuss with you."
Qiao Chuchu nervously looked at Wei Sheng Wen Zhan and muttered softly: "He was sent by his family. Believe me, this project will not end well—it’s all a trap. Of course, what I’m saying is up to you, but please think carefully."
[Trust me, trust me! He’ll harm you! Though he can’t hurt you now, he’ll team up with his family and slowly lure you into a trap! He has the male lead halo! Once you get involved, it’s game over for you!]

Wei Sheng Wen Zhan smiled faintly but didn’t respond.
Qiao Chuchu made to leave: "I’ll go first."
"Wait." Wei Sheng Wen Zhan opened his phone and handed her his WeChat QR code: "Let’s exchange contact information."
Ji Yan Chuan: "?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan actually wanted to exchange contact info?!
What charm did this crazy woman have?
He glared at Qiao Chuchu, visibly upset.
Qiao Chuchu paused, feeling a little guilty: "No, thanks."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan: "...?"
Ji Yan Chuan: "???"
Did she just reject Wei Sheng Wen Zhan’s rare offer to exchange WeChat?!
Qiao Chuchu awkwardly smiled and backed away, saying, "I’ll go now."
[Don’t want to get involved too much. I just want to be closer to my son’s life and further from his life.]
Ji Yan Chuan sneered, glaring at her retreating figure: "Tch, truly clueless. Mr. Wei Sheng, we... eh? Where are you going?"
As Qiao Chuchu walked a few steps away, she suddenly felt a broad figure loom over her from behind.
Instinctively, she shrank her neck, and her phone was snatched away.
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan moved in front of her, holding her phone to her face, unlocking it with her face recognition.
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan opened her WeChat, scanned the QR code, added her as a friend, and handed the phone back to her: "Thank you."
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan walked past her briskly.
She stood stunned, looking at his retreating figure, then at her WeChat.
[He really forced me to add him?!]
[Is this what they mean by the Wei Sheng family always getting what they want? Forcing things even when they’re not sweet?]
Wei Sheng Wen Zhan added a note to her contact and didn’t even look back.
He never cared whether the fruit was sweet or not, as long as it was in his possession.
He’d been calling her son for thirty minutes and had held back from saying anything, but when it came to adding WeChat, she rejected him.
Hmph.
Qiao Chuchu helplessly put her phone back, then turned around and collided with Pei Youchuan’s cold gaze.
He was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, several male friends by his side, looking like he had been standing there for a while.
