Chapter 290: Chapter 283: Reverse Scale

Xiao Mei tugged at Yu Bin, intending to make him shut up. However, Yu Bin misunderstood and thought Xiao Mei was yielding under pressure, which made him even more agitated. He ditched any formalities and started calling Bai Yiran by her name directly, "Bai Yiran is really outrageous, making my Xiao Mei suffer for a babysitter..."

"Yu Bin." Leng Yichen’s voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the fervent Yu Bin, his voice low, carrying sarcasm and coldness.

"Uh..." Yu Bin froze, feeling a chill when he heard Leng Yichen’s voice.

Leng Yichen glanced at his watch on his wrist, then looked up again at the few people at the dining table, saying indifferently, "Bai Yiran and I are going out for dinner. We’ll be back in about two and a half hours."

Everyone was momentarily confused about what Leng Yichen meant and why he suddenly said such a thing.

Xiao Mei had a bad premonition, quickly speaking with a forced smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, enjoy your time together."

Leng Yichen didn’t even bother to give Xiao Mei a glance, fixed his gaze on Yu Bin, and spoke, "I hope all of you can leave within these two and a half hours. When Yiran and I come back, I don’t want to see any of you."

Leng Yichen’s words were like a giant stone, instantly hitting every person present.

Xiao Mei’s parents looked as if they had eaten something disgusting, their faces ugly. Xiao Mei’s father’s face turned reddish, having never been driven away in front of others in his life.

Xu Juan’s face was even more twisted together, "Yichen! What are you saying!"

Leng Yichen’s expression was indifferent, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "I think I’ve made myself very clear, Aunt."

Xu Juan’s face stiffened, hurriedly speaking, "Is it because I said before that Yiran can’t have children... Yichen, you know your aunt’s mouth is reckless, I meant no harm, just feeling sorry for you... I’m your aunt, to me, you and Yu Bin are the same, both like sons to me, I care for you! I’m thinking, what if Yiran can’t..."

Xu Juan’s words were cut off by Leng Yichen’s piercing gaze, quickly changing her tune, "I’m only thinking for your good... Yichen, after all, I’m your aunt..."

As Xu Juan spoke, she increasingly lost confidence, seeing the disdainful expressions and terrible looks from Xiao Mei’s parents towards her. Xu Juan felt stifled inside.

Bai Yiran came downstairs after changing her clothes, noticing the unfriendly gazes Xu Juan and the others cast towards her. Although they weren’t very friendly before, now it was even worse.

"What’s going on?" She merely went upstairs to change clothes, did she somehow offend everyone downstairs?

Xiao Mei saw Bai Yiran in a light blue dress with a necklace featuring an angelic diamond pendant. Her high heels were the latest seasonal style, her hair loosely yet elegantly draped. If Bai Yiran was beautiful and graceful in her casual and business attire before, she now seemed imbued with an ethereal charm.

Xiao Mei couldn’t help but grit her teeth, how could she not be jealous of such a woman!

Ever since Bai Yiran came downstairs, Leng Yichen’s gaze had never left her, gently taking her hand, "It’s fine, let’s go."

"Okay." Bai Yiran understood that Leng Yichen must have said something to those people while she was changing, or they wouldn’t be glaring at her like that. However, she didn’t plan to get involved any further, not willing to engage in thankless tasks anymore.

As Leng Yichen led Bai Yiran out, Yu Bin finally couldn’t hold back, "Brother! We grew up together; does our bond not compare to a woman you once dumped?"

Yu Bin’s words made Bai Yiran’s footsteps slightly pause, her hand in Leng Yichen’s trembling slightly.

Leng Yichen halted, there was no doubt Yu Bin’s words had touched Leng Yichen’s Achilles’ heel.

Because this statement would inevitably remind them of those unbearable days.

"Sister Liu, arrange for someone to watch them! If anyone utters another word of nonsense, throw them out! No matter who it is!"

Leng Yichen’s statement about "no matter who" made Xu Juan and Yu Bin’s hearts sink, clearly indicating them, showing they underestimated Bai Yiran’s position in Leng Yichen’s heart.
