Chapter 69: The Two Brothers Fight Against Each Other

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Inside the private room, Nan Yan looked at the disconnected phone call with a hint of helplessness.

...

Then she looked at Shen Junqing with some hesitation and asked, “Third Brother, is it okay to have more people joining us for dinner?”

Nan Yan felt that both Qin Lu and Shen Junqing wanted to be her brother. While she didn’t mind having two more brothers, calling both of them “brother” would be confusing.

So, she took the liberty to change Shen Junqing’s title to “Third Brother.” After all, others called him “Third Young Master,” so his rank should be the third.

Shen Junqing didn’t react much to the new title. Lazily leaning his head, he smiled provocatively, “Sure, is it Grandma who is joining us?” He had heard Nan Yan using that title during her phone call.

“Mhm.”

Not long after, Old Madam Qin couldn’t wait any longer and pulled Qin Lu to the upper floor to find Nan Yan.

When Nan Yan opened the door and saw the two people outside, a touch of surprise flickered in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled faintly, “Grandma, you’ve arrived so quickly.”

Old Madam Qin directly held Nan Yan’s hand, smiling, “Yes, we happened to be nearby looking for a restaurant, and when we found out you were here, we immediately came over.”

Nan Yan nodded with a smile, then looked at Qin Lu and obediently said, “Big Brother.”

“Mhm. Who else is joining us for dinner? Your Fourth Brother?” Qin Lu calmly stared at them, pretending not to know that Nan Yan was with Shen Junqing.

“No.” Nan Yan replied indifferently, “It’s another brother.”

“Do you have several brothers, Yan Yan? Do they all like you?” Old Madam Qin wasn’t fully aware of the situation in the An family.

She thought that only An Family’s parents treated Nan Yan poorly.

Although she had seen An Mulin before, he didn’t say a word and didn’t show any dislike towards Nan Yan.

She believed that a beautiful and well-behaved girl like Nan Yan would surely be loved by her brothers.

Qin Lu frowned slightly. He was just about to remind his grandmother not to mention anyone related to the An family, so as not to upset Nan Yan. However, he heard Nan Yan’s indifferent response, “I only have one Fourth Brother.”

The others, she didn’t plan to acknowledge them.

“The other brother inside is someone I can get along with.”

Mhm, anyone who can help her earn money is someone she can get along with.

Old Madam Qin, having seen numerous scandals and power struggles within the wealthy families, suddenly felt even more pity for Nan Yan.

She pitifully patted Nan Yan’s hand and smoothly changed the subject, “Oh, oh, will it be inappropriate for us to join you?”

“It’s fine, he said he doesn’t mind.” Nan Yan said, glancing at Qin Lu.

Shen Junqing didn’t mind Grandma coming over, but Nan Yan didn’t know if he minded Qin Lu’s presence.

But she thought they wouldn’t start fighting in front of her…

“Nan Yan, does it take this long to open a door?” Shen Junqing’s voice came from inside the room.

“I’m coming.”

Nan Yan replied and turned to Old Madam Qin, saying, “Grandma, please go in first.

Shen Junqing was lazily playing with a glass of water, and when he saw Qin Lu suddenly enter, his hand jerked, almost dropping the spinning glass.

Fortunately, he caught it in time.

Then, Nan Yan and Old Madam Qin entered, and only then did Shen Junqing place the glass back on the table, supporting himself with both hands on the table, smiling at Qin Lu, “Young Master Qin, are you inspecting the place?”

Shen Junqing truly didn’t believe that Qin Lu would be interested in a young girl like Nan Yan.

After all, in their eyes, Nan Yan was still too young. She had just turned eighteen and hadn’t even started university. If he dared to make a move, he would be seen as a beast.

He also didn’t believe that Qin Lu, such a mature and stable person, would make such a mistake.

Perhaps, he wanted to raise her?

Qin Lu didn’t respond to his comment and pulled a chair to sit across from him. “Third Young Master Shen, aren’t you too free?”

Shen Junqing curled his lips and said lazily, “Yeah, I’m so free every day. Young

Master Qin, don’t you already know?”

After Nan Yan helped Old Madam Qin to sit down, she glanced at them indifferently.

She didn’t care about the tit-for-tat attitude between the two of them. After asking Old Madam Qin about her preferences, she ordered the dishes directly.

Qin Lu looked at Shen Junqing and said in an unhurried tone, “Young Master Shen, don’t talk nonsense. You can go find your friends to pass the time. Yanyan is still a student, don’t disturb her.”

Shen Junqing sneered, “Young Master Qin, aren’t you being too nosy? Do I need your permission to play with my little sister?”

“You both are not married, and not even officially together.”

Qin Lu’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice became colder, “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t care, but there are issues with Shen Third Young Master’s character. I’m worried that Yan Yan will be influenced by you.”

Being directly attacked, Shen Junqing slammed the table and angrily retorted,

“You’re the one with character issues! That’s defamation!”

“Show me the evidence, or I’ll sue you for defamation.”

Qin Lu nonchalantly leaned back on his chair, “Do you want me to list Shen Third Young Master’s romantic escapades?”

Shen Junqing was speechless.

Damn, those were just for disguise…

As a result, he really ruined his own reputation.

Who could he complain to about this bitterness?

“Yanyan is still young. Third Young Master Shen, don’t lay your hands on young girls.”

“Get lost…” Shen Junqing fell silent and didn’t want to talk. Then his eyes shifted, and he smirked in retaliation, “Young Master Qin doesn’t seem to be any better than me.”

“You’re just taking advantage of the fact that Yan Yan hasn’t lived in the capital, deceiving her innocence.”

“Do you want me to tell Yan Yan everything about you?” Shen Junqing raised his eyebrows and threatened him.

He thought that Qin Lu would be nervous and stop him.

However, Qin Lu ignored him and looked at Nan Yan, who was talking to Old Madam Qin.

“Little one, don’t forget what you promised your brother.”

Yan Yan was taken aback. She hadn’t expected the argument to suddenly involve her.

What promise did she make to him?

For a moment, Yan Yan couldn’t recall what she had agreed to.

Seeing her confused look, Qin Lu reached out and pinched her cheek as if punishing her.” You forgot?”

“No, I haven’t.” Nan Yan slapped his hand away.” I will study hard and get first place in the exam.”

After a pause, she added, “I won’t embarrass your brother.’”‘

Back then, Qin Lu had offered to transfer her to a better class. She had rejected him and even agreed to do well in her exams to prove that she would not be affected in Class Four.

It just so happened that she had signed an agreement with the ignorant people from Class Four.

She would just get first place in the exam to make Big Boss Qin happy.

Feeling a little despondent, Shen Junqing suddenly discovered the difference in Nan Yan’s attitude towards him and Qin Lu.

How could Yan Yan be so well-behaved and cute in front of Qin Lu but cold and unaffectionate in front of him?

Why did it seem like she favored Qin Lu?

“Nan Yan, do you also think Third Brother is not good?” Shen Junqing asked with a touch of sadness.

Nan Yan was speechless.

Were these two competing for her affection?
