1.336 If I’m Being Scandalous, I Would Have Done It with Someone Else
Upon hearing her very offensive comment, Mrs. Yue and Yue Tingfeng’s 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 wouldn’t find anything scandalous or unprofessional within my crew. I’m pretty sure you’ll find more in a corporate setting right? I mean, you’d probably know a thing or two about being scandalous, since you could climb the corporate ladder with little to no effort? Please don’t be offended, I didn’t mean to say it was you.”
Zhou Ning’s expression instantly turned cold at her remark. She said in response, “Of course I don’t. I’m not an actress like you. You guys—”
Yan Qingsi interrupted Zhou Ning’s reply and said, “Well, I don’t either. Since I’m backed by the entirety of the Yue’s 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 I’m being scandalous, I would’ve done it with someone else right?”
Yan Qingsi turned and smiled at Yue Tingfeng. She said, “Don’t 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 family’s 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 wouldn’t be interested in trivial gossip in the entertainment world. If you would really like to know, I don’t mind telling you though.”
Zhou Ning’s 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.
“It’s fine. Thank you,” Zhou Ning replied.
Feeling the tension in the room rising, Mrs. Helan frantically said, “The food’s already here. Please help yourselves everyone, except Miss Yan since besides her, everyone is family around this table. Hope you don’t mind, I’ll 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!
“Don’t 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 Xiuse’s laughter. Not a single soul said anything.
Yan Qingsi’s 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 Qingsi’s shoulder and said, “When did you become so skinny? You should be eating more.”
Yan Qingsi simply nodded and said, “Yea…”
“You’re awfully quiet today brother. Is something bothering you?” Helan Xiuse asked.
The mental strain was noticeable on Helan Fangnian’s face as he simply replied, “It’s nothing, just the case that I’m working on.”
Helan Xiuse pouted at his response. “It’s 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 Yan’s personal assistant and you had apparently refused her offer. So she was quite unhappy. However, I had scolded her. It’s 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, it’s not appropriate for Xiuxiu. I had disciplined her since. Hope you don’t 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 Qingsi’s career. She angrily exclaimed, “I don’t 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.”
