Upon hearing these words, Ruan Qing’s body stiffened, and his figure, prepared to leave, froze in place.
It was clear that Yang Chenyan meant to exclude him from the funeral.
The Yang family was quite large, with its own cemetery on the back mountain. Without the permission of the Yang family, others couldn’t even enter the funeral scene.
Otherwise, given the original owner’s temperament, he wouldn’t have tolerated staying in the Yang family.
The steward standing nearby suddenly felt at a loss when called upon. He walked up to Ruan Qing, cautiously spoke, “Mr. Yu, you see, this...”
The steward’s voice didn’t dare to escalate, and he didn’t dare to say anything forceful.
After all, directly insulting the Third Young Master and only receiving the words “escort the guest” was already a relatively lenient treatment. This person in front of him was the only one who received it.
It was important to note that the meanings of “drive out” and “escort the guest” were worlds apart. If it were someone else, they would probably have already been dragged out.
And those who were dragged out, hardly any of them walked out of the main residence of the Yang family alive.
Ruan Qing turned his displeased face to look at the man sitting in the main seat, gritted his teeth, and said, “Yang Chenyan! Don’t go too far!”
“What did you call me?” Yang Chenyan looked at Ruan Qing and spoke with an expressionless face.
Although Yang Chenyan’s tone and expression didn’t carry any explicit threat, it was evidently a naked threat.
After all, the steward was still standing beside Ruan Qing. Once the words he spoke were not to Yang Chenyan’s liking, he might really be escorted out.
By then, he wouldn’t even have the chance to accompany Yang Chenfeng on his final journey.
Ruan Qing bit his lip, and ultimately, he yielded, saying, “Third Brother.”
This “Third Brother” was obviously an acknowledgment of his identity as a member of the Yang family and a sign of his submission to the person in front of him.
However, Yang Chenyan still wrinkled his brows in dissatisfaction, feeling uneasy, though he couldn’t pinpoint the source of his dissatisfaction.
According to seniority, the person in front of him should call him Third Brother. Besides calling him Third Brother or by his name, there was no other way to address him.
Yang Chenyan attributed all of this to the fact that he woke up too early and didn’t get enough sleep. After all, he had never woken up before noon, but today Yang Chenjin woke him up early in the morning.
All for the sake of having someone eat breakfast.
And he really hated it when people talked to him while he was eating.
Hmm, if it weren’t for Yang Chenjin, he wouldn’t have endured this.
“So many things for just a breakfast, it’s so annoying.” Yang Chenyan impatiently adjusted his collar, his tone full of impatience. “Sit down.”
Ruan Qing took a deep breath upon hearing this, seemingly suppressing the anger within him, and sat back at the dining table.
He picked up his chopsticks and continued eating breakfast.
The players discreetly glanced at the man sitting in the main seat and then at the young man suppressing his anger. They felt that something was off, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.
In any case, this widower named Yu Qing was more special than they had imagined.
Moreover, being the lover of the eldest young master himself, he might know more than other NPCs.
It would be best to find an opportunity to inquire.
On the other hand, Yang Chenyan didn’t seem indifferent to his elder brother’s death. Not even allowing the lover of his elder brother to move on to find another partner clearly contradicted the information given by the instance.
The people at the table had various thoughts, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense and strange.
Only Ruan Qing, with a gloomy expression, continued to eat breakfast. Others didn’t move much, and even Yang Chenyan remained still.
Everyone just watched the young man next to the little girl eat.
The young man ate at a moderate pace.
Because it was June, he wore a short-sleeved T-shirt, exposing his slender arms.
Under the light, his skin appeared even more fair and delicate, and with his leisurely movements, he looked exceptionally elegant.
Providing a visual delight.
Even the food on the table seemed more delicious.
Indeed, everything a beauty did was beautiful.
Moreover, the young man’s slender fingers and joints were distinct. Perhaps due to the recent grip on the chopsticks, they had a lovely pink hue, making them look delicate and pretty.
The Yang family’s chopsticks were black. If the skin were a bit darker or more yellow, they would appear dull or yellowish against the black chopsticks.
But not for the young man. Against the black backdrop, his fingers looked even fairer.
The black chopsticks in his hands even carried a sense of elegance.
It seemed not meant for eating, more like it’s meant to be used.
Yang Chenyan paused slightly, shifted his gaze away, picked up the clean chopsticks beside him, and started eating.
However, as soon as the dish touched his lips, he deeply frowned, and eventually, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, he forced the food down.
His expression was as if someone had a knife to his throat, forcing him to swallow it.
It seemed like he wasn’t eating food, but drinking poison.
After taking a bite, Yang Chenyan put down the chopsticks. He looked at Ruan Qing and snorted, “Indeed, someone from a small and humble background finds this terrible dish delicious. You probably haven’t had much in your usual life.”
Ruan Qing seemingly ignored him and continued eating his breakfast.
Yang Chenyan became displeased. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?”
However, Ruan Qing still ignored Yang Chenyan, completely dismissing him.
Seeing that the person pretended not to hear, Yang Chenyan’s expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and spoke, “Yu! Qing!”
“Huh?” Ruan Qing seemed to have just heard, looking up at Yang Chenyan with a puzzled expression, “Were you talking to me just now?”
Intentional.
Certainly intentional.
Everyone present could see it.
After all, the confusion on the young man’s face was too fake, apparent at a glance.
“It seems like you really don’t want to stay in our Yang family.” Yang Chenyan sneered and looked at the steward standing nearby. “Steward, escort the guest out.”
The steward trembled at being called, nervously approached again.
Ruan Qing took a deep breath, tried to suppress his anger, and put on a fake smile on his delicate face. “Third Brother, you misunderstood. I just thought you were talking about someone else.”
Yang Chenyan spoke coldly, “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Ruan Qing nodded, the smile on his face extremely fake.
Yang Chenyan didn’t like people defying him, nor did he like anyone contradicting him.
However, when the person in front of him complied and followed along, he became even more irritated.
Inside him, it felt like there was a burning fire that couldn’t be extinguished.
Frustrated, he felt like overturning the table.
Indeed, getting up early was truly unpleasant.
The next time Yang Chenjin woke him up so early, he would definitely kill him.
Absolutely!
Yang Chenyan, in his irritable state, angrily kicked one of the legs of the dining table.
The entire table shook violently from the force of his kick.
