The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

Chapter 687: Chapter 645: A Trip to the Ye Family! (4)

"Yino, how many people are in your family?"

"Yino, how old are you?"

"Yino, what do your parents do?"

"Yino, when did you and Fan start dating?"

「In the living room of No.1 Villa.」

Thanks to her long-term consumption of Spirit Water No. 1, Wei Shuying looked more like Jiang Yino’s sister than a potential mother-in-law. She hugged Jiang Yino, laughing as she peppered her with questions about her family. Although her requirements for a daughter-in-law had nothing to do with such things—given No. 1 Group’s current power and wealth, there was no need to find a match of equal social status—as a mother meeting the girl who could very well become her future daughter-in-law, she felt it was necessary to get to know her.

Facing Wei Shuying’s questions, Jiang Yino answered every one with a smile. Even when speaking of her unremarkable family background, she showed no hint of unease. She remained poised and confident, neither obsequious nor arrogant.

This made Wei Shuying increasingly satisfied; it seemed impossible to find any fault in Jiang Yino. Indeed, she had previously tried to pair Qin Fan with Xu Jiayi, but his firm refusal had made her give up the idea. Eventually, Xu Jiayi faded from her thoughts. Now, meeting the first girl Qin Fan had ever brought home, she was genuinely delighted. After their conversation, she grew even fonder of Jiang Yino.

Her looks, while not devastatingly beautiful, were still exceptionally attractive. Her disposition, though not yet exuding an air of nobility, possessed a purity that was incredibly rare these days—something Wei Shuying couldn’t fault. Her manners and conduct clearly showcased a good upbringing. These qualities alone were enough to leave Wei Shuying with no complaints.

When the conversation shifted from family matters to casual chatter, the two got along even more wonderfully, their laughter filling the entire living room of No.1 Villa.

As for Qin Fan, well, he had become invisible. He occasionally tried to join the conversation, but to his dismay, neither Wei Shuying nor Jiang Yino paid him any mind. Feeling a mix of amusement and irritation, he ended up consuming most of the Spirit Water No. 1 and Spirit Fruit No. 1 on the coffee table.

"Hey, hey, hey! You brat, take it easy! Even though our family isn’t short on money, you can’t be so wasteful!" Wei Shuying exclaimed with a playful scolding, noticing in the middle of her laughter with Jiang Yino that the Spirit Water and Spirit Fruit on the coffee table were half-gone.

"It’s not like I’m not paying," Qin Fan retorted smugly, pulling out a bank card and placing it on the table. He added, "What a world we live in!"

With that, he let out a mock sigh of dejection and stood up, heading toward the kitchen. Although he was being teased by his mother and ignored by both her and Yino, the room was filled with warmth. It was a rare kind of warmth that many people longed for, the very kind Qin Fan had craved for hundreds of years.

Watching Qin Fan’s retreating back, Wei Shuying burst into hearty laughter. Even Jiang Yino was amused and let out a chuckle.

Not long after, Qin Fan and his father, Qin Chu, emerged carrying dishes to the dining room.

"Dinner’s ready!" Qin Fan called out casually, a far cry from the cold and ruthless Lord Qin known to the world.

"Let’s go, Yino, time to eat!" Wei Shuying said with a laugh. She took Jiang Yino’s hand, and the two of them stood up from the sofa and walked to the dining room.

On the dining table were five dishes and one soup, but no exotic delicacies. Such things had long become mundane for the Qin family, who had returned to the simplicity of home-cooked meals. All the dishes, prepared to Qin Fan’s taste, gave off an enticing aroma.

"Yino, I didn’t know you were coming, so his dad and I just whipped up some of Fan’s favorite dishes! Let’s make do for tonight. Tomorrow, Auntie will take you out to properly enjoy the cuisine of Jiangzhou!" Wei Shuying said softly with a laugh as they sat down.

"This is wonderful, Auntie! I’m not picky at all!" Jiang Yino replied with a smile. She then stood up, walked over to the soup pot, and began ladling soup into bowls for everyone.

At this proactive gesture, Wei Shuying and Qin Chu exchanged looks of satisfaction. From the moment Jiang Yino had stepped through their door, they had been viewing her as their future daughter-in-law. Both of them knew that since Qin Fan had brought her home, she was undoubtedly the one he considered his other half. After all, they understood their son and his way of doing things. Qin Fan had only been studying in Jinling for half a year, meaning his relationship with Jiang Yino was just as new, and they were both still very young. However, Qin Chu and Wei Shuying didn’t dwell on those details. They knew their son was unlike ordinary people; his choices always had meaning.

Parents know their children best. Their son, who didn’t even bat an eye at the advances of girls like Ji Yuchen and Xu Jiayi, had now personally brought Jiang Yino home to meet them. This meant it was practically a done deal. At that very moment, the couple even began to think about finding a suitable time to meet Yino’s parents.

The room was filled with joyful laughter. As the homely meal drew to a close, Qin Fan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a wet napkin, and said, "Dad, Mom, I need to step out for a bit. Yino, please keep them company for me."

"What? You just got back and you’re already leaving?" Qin Chu frowned. Wei Shuying also turned to look at her son.

"I’m making a trip to the Ye Family," Qin Fan said with a gentle nod and a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, the furrowed brows of both Qin Chu and Wei Shuying tensed for a moment before quickly relaxing. Qin Fan hadn’t said much—only that he was going to the Ye Family—but they both knew this visit wasn’t a simple matter. Most likely, it was about the earlier incident at the Jinling Mansion.

Thinking of this, Wei Shuying bit her lip and said, "Alright, go ahead. Listen carefully to what Elder Ye has to say; his experience far surpasses ours. If you need to yield, then yield. From the past to the present, your dad and I have never expected much from you; we just want you to be happy and safe!"

She hadn’t intended to say all this, but the memory of the tumultuous, high-society-shaking incident at Jinling Mansion made her unable to hold back. To be honest, when they first heard of Qin Fan’s lawless and audacious behavior there, the couple couldn’t believe it. Only after multiple confirmations were they forced to accept the truth. Afterward, they had a video call with Qin Fan that lasted over three hours. During the call, he laid many things out in the open to keep them from worrying too much. After all, some things couldn’t be hidden forever; it was only a matter of time before they were discovered. Of course, this confession did not include his rebirth, the trip to Japan, or anything related to Cultivation. Even so, it still caused Qin Chu and Wei Shuying several days of anxiety and sleepless nights. In the end, it was only after Elder Ye Congjun’s visit to No.1 Villa that they found some peace of mind. So now, when Qin Fan mentioned going to the Ye Family, they immediately connected it to the Jinling Mansion incident.

"Mm, I know. Don’t worry, I have this under control. Alright, it’s getting late, so I’ll head over now," he said with a light, easy smile. He nodded to his parents. Before Jiang Yino could say anything, he turned to her and gave her a small, reassuring nod.

Reassured by his gesture, Jiang Yino held back what she was about to say. Instead, she just said, "Come back early!"

"I will. I’m heading out now."

With that, Qin Fan stood up and strode out of the house.
