Chapter 423 “To Love is to Hate (1)”
“Miss Bai Yan, you don’t have to pay attention to him.” After saying that, the senior coldly shot a warning stare at his third son before returning his attention to the woman. That smile could only be called majestic in how warm it was, “Please don’t take offense over my foolish son’s word. Our Wang family would love to have you be our guest of honor!”
This family is still headed by me, Wang Yufan, how can I allow anyone else to start deciding things while I’m still here?
“Father,” struck with an idea, Wang Deqiu takes this opportunity to ask, “Do you know the whereabouts of a Dragon Fruit? I heard one appeared in the city some time ago….”
Dragon Fruit?
Startled for a second, Wang Yufan (Chief) appears to be contemplating on whether or not to say: “Its true a Dragon Fruit appeared not long ago in the auction house, but it was obtained by the An family.”
“An family?” Groaning with an unsightly expression, Wang Deqiu’s expression could only be called terrible when turning to face the woman: “Miss Bai Yan, I’m sorry to say, but the relationship between our Wang family and the An family isn’t very good. Now that the Dragon Fruit’s been obtained by their side, I fear….”
Hmm, their information is consistent to what I have as well. No matter, this Dragon Fruit will be mine regardless of whoever has it! Caressing her chin, Bai Yan appears to be thinking up a solution.
“These matters are of no concern, I will deal with it.” As she said that, a gleam of dangerous light seems to be beaming out of her eyes like someone ready to kill.
“Mother, if it’s okay, can I go rest first? I’m tired.” Pursing his lip pitifully, Bai Xiachen looks up at his mother with those big innocent eyes of his like he’s pleading for a yes.
“Okay, you go ahead.” There’s no way Bai Yan wouldn’t notice the enraged gaze coming her way from the bastard. As such, she deliberately returns a smirk of her own to counter the ill intent.
Unbeknownst to the others though, that smirk only appeared somewhat gloating on the surface, but the underlying intent was that of danger and murder. If Wang Deyi had pushed this even further, it’s not beyond the realm of him being killed on the spot due to his impudence!
Fortunately Bai Yan’s attention span didn’t last long on the man, otherwise that oppressive aura invisible to all the rest would’ve likely made her target wet himself already, that’s how heavy it was.

“Father, I will also take my leave first then.” Hurrying to cup his hand at the senior, Wang Deyi immediately ran away with his tail behind his legs. Nevertheless, the anger and venomous gaze in his eyes said all that needs to be told – he’s not going to let this end.
Damn this Wang Deqiu, it was not easy to kick him out back then. Now he even brought a helper back with him. I can’t let this continue!
……
Inside the western wing’s study room.
Wang Deyi had only just pushed open the door when he was greeted by a middle-aged man already inside. Their looks were very similar, only one was more masculine and gloomier.
“Big Brother!” Seeing his elder brother acting so nonchalant still, Wang Deyi could no longer hold back his temper, “Wang Deqiu is back again and he even brought an alchemist back with him. Why are you acting so calm still? We need to figure out a solution, otherwise he would once again get in our way!”
Turning around casually, Wang Deyuan (First) only showed a disapproving smile at his third brother before closing that book in his hand, “And what of it? There’s no reason to be so anxious, he can’t do anything to impact us at this point.”
The position of the future heir to this household can only be mine now! The reason is no other, that’s what he gets for having a useless son and not taking a new wife after losing his last. Without a good heir, Father would never allow the future of the family to befall someone so incapable even if it’s two generations down!
“Big Brother, you still don’t understand. Old Two brought back a beautiful girl this time, and she’s the alchemist mentioned in the letters! What if Father changes his mind due to the Dan pills?”
