The poor husband I picked up turned out to be from a wealthy family

Chapter 1242 A Pleasant Evening

After a meal.

Shen Qing and Yang Juan sat on the sofa chatting.

Sister Zhang brought over some fruit.

"Madam, Madam, please have some fruit."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhang."

Shen Qing picked up an apple and handed it to Yang Juan, saying, "Mom, try this apple, it's very sweet."

"Okay." Yang Juan smiled and took the apple. "Qingqing, is your head alright now?"

"It's nothing serious, just a superficial injury."

"That's good. We were worried about you at home. We wanted to come and see you as soon as possible, and we were relieved to see that you were alright."

"I haven't even had time to visit you all, and now you have to come and see me," Shen Qing said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Qingqing, what are you saying? You’re injured, it’s only right that we come to see you. Besides, we know you’re very busy and don’t usually have time. We don’t need you to take up your time to visit us. We’ll let you know if we need anything,” Yang Juan said.

"That's okay!"

Shen Qing said, "By the way, Mom, Dad's 66th birthday is in a few days. I'll take you to buy some clothes tomorrow so you can wear them on that day."

"No need, I have plenty of clothes, and I have many new clothes that I haven't worn yet."

"Mom, it's okay. I'll pick out an outfit for you to wear for Dad's birthday."

"Alright then!" Yang Juan felt embarrassed to refuse, after all, it was her daughter-in-law's filial piety.

Yang Juan continued, "By the way, I heard Xiao Bei and Xiao Peng say that they're going to throw a really grand birthday banquet for your dad that day."

"Yes, if we're going to do it, we should do it in a grand way. This time it's our 66th birthday."

"Your dad found out about this and he was very happy. People get older and like excitement."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Mom, we'll get one for you when you turn 66."

"No need for that. I'm a woman, I don't need to do that."

"Mom, what's with all this talk about women? If it's a woman's job, then it's a job."

"You are such a filial child."

"Mom, I know that relationships are reciprocal. You've been very good to me, so I believe you're doing this for the best."

Shen Qing knew very well that although Yang Juan was not her biological mother-in-law, she was sincere towards her and the child.

Yan Bei and Yan Jiang were standing nearby.

They chatted while drinking tea.

Shen Qing knew.

Yan Bei hadn't had such a pleasant conversation with Yan Jiangshan in a long time.

She hadn't seen such a scene of filial piety between father and son in a long time.

Seeing this now, they couldn't help but smile.

On the other side, Yan Bei and Yan Jiangshan sat facing each other at the tea table.

A set of fine purple clay teaware rests quietly on a pear wood tea tray, the rising steam carrying a delicate tea aroma that permeates the air.

Although Yan Jiangshan is already sixty-six years old, and has been retired from the business world for many years, he is still in good spirits, and his eyes are still sharp and deep. He has only lost some of the sharpness of his youth, and gained more of the peace and wisdom that comes with the years.

He picked up the small teacup, took a sip, and gazed at the distant lights of the city outside the window, his eyes filled with a sense of tranquility.

"Xiao Bei, I heard that the company's project in the east of the city has run into some trouble recently?" Yan Jiangshan spoke first, his voice not loud, but with an undeniable penetrating power.

Yan Bei nodded slightly, his handsome face showing little expression. Only when facing his father would that icy coldness melt away slightly.

"Well, some of the existing shareholders have some concerns, and the marketing department's risk assessment is also rather conservative." He stated succinctly, his tone calm and revealing little emotion.

Yan Bei didn't want to talk to his father about his work.

But after talking to his father and hearing some of his father's advice, he felt much more at ease.

Yan Jiangshan put down his teacup, his fingertips gently stroking the rim. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It's normal to have concerns. Nothing is ever perfect."

He paused, looked at Yan Bei, his eyes gentle yet powerful, "But in business, sometimes you have to see opportunities where others can't see them, and dare to act when others hesitate. Of course, this isn't blind; it's based on your judgment of the market and your confidence in your own strength."

Yan Bei listened quietly without interrupting. His father didn't say much, nor did he offer a direct solution, but every word he spoke hit the nail on the head.

Although Yan Bei had not personally experienced the "back then" he described, he could imagine the courage and foresight his father had shown in overcoming all opposition.

“Risk assessment is necessary, but we shouldn’t be confined by it,” Yan Jiangshan continued. “You have to learn to distinguish between real risks and imagined fears. Those long-term shareholders have weathered many storms and are naturally inclined to seek stability, which is understandable.”

"..."

Yan Jiangshan spoke earnestly to Yan Bei.

Yan Bei listened very attentively.

Every time I hear my dad say something, his thinking changes a little.

Having been in the business world for so many years, he understands some things.

I'm just annoyed by some things I don't quite understand.

He knew that these things were inevitable.

Therefore, I can only solve it step by step on my own.

Yan Bei picked up the teacup, and the warmth of the tea slid down his throat, soothing his heart.

Even these seemingly casual words of conversation from his father always seemed to clear his mind and bring clarity to his thoughts. It was a wonderful feeling.

"I understand, Dad." Yan Bei's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible relaxation and firmness.

Yan Jiangshan looked at his son, a relieved smile on his face. "Good. Remember, the men of the Yan family must have the courage to steer the ship and the confidence to brave the waves."

……

Shen Qing was chatting with her mother-in-law.

The children were also doing what they liked on the side.

The warm and cozy scene in the living room was vividly displayed.

. . . . . .

Early the next morning.

Shen Qing got up very early.

Because she's taking her mother-in-law shopping for clothes today.

After she finished tidying up, she went downstairs.

Sister Zhang downstairs has already prepared breakfast.

Shen Qing reminded her, "Sister Zhang, did you make breakfast for my in-laws?"

"Don't worry, madam, I've already finished it."

"That's good."

At this moment, Yang Juan also came out.

"Qingqing, get up."

"Hmm, Mom, how did you sleep last night? Did you adjust well?"

"Mmm, you slept well."

"Breakfast has been ready for a while now, let's get ready to eat," Shen Qing said.

"Uh-huh."

Yang Juan sat down.

A moment later, Yan Jiangshan also came over.

Shen Qing said, "Dad, please sit down too!"

"it is good!"

After a while, Yan Bei and the two children also came down.

They all walked towards the dining table.

They took their seats at the dining table in turn.

Sister Zhang also brought out the breakfast.

Shen Qing said, "Mom, after we drop An'an and Kang Kang off at school, we'll go shopping."

"it is good!"

At this moment, Yan Jiangshan spoke up, "Qingqing, you take your mom shopping. I'll be back in a bit. Then you can take your mom home."

“No problem, Dad! But if you want to come shopping with us, we can take you along,” Shen Qing said with a smile.

Yan Jiangshan waved his hand, "I won't go with you. It would be ridiculous for an old man like me to go shopping alone."

"What's the big deal? But since you don't want to go there, I'll take Mom back after we finish shopping."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today."

"It's okay, Dad!"
