Married to the Male Lead’s Hidden Rich Brother

Chapter 37

“Of course, I don’t feel that way. If I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t let go. I let go because I don’t need it,” Father said he wanted to give the company to Xiao Ye, then let him have it! This company wasn’t founded by him, so he didn’t care who ended up with it. If he had the ability, he could create his own world.

Zhou Qiaoqiao patted his shoulder and laughed heartily, “Indeed, you treat money like dirt! Ahahaha…”

Yan Wei: “…” What are you laughing at? You’re the one who treats money like dirt now! When it comes to choosing a husband for the Yan family’s son, their perspectives are different!

With this in mind, Yan Wei glanced at Shang Qiwen. Then he thought again, his own Qiaoqiao probably couldn’t imagine this, so does Qiaoqiao not know that he can also fight for these assets?

The somewhat serious atmosphere disappeared under Zhou Qiaoqiao’s laughter. Yan Ye curled his lips and said, “Big brother.”

Yan Wei sighed and stopped dwelling on these matters. He just glanced at Shang Qiwen. What kind of person was Yan Wei? He was sent abroad in high school, raised funds with Feng Xiuan at the age of 18, and made his first investment at the age of 19, which turned out to be profitable.

His subsequent development was even more unstoppable. Although he hadn’t graduated from university at the age of 21 and the company was just beginning to grow, he still returned home without hesitation to help support the family business.

This shows his ability!

Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at those people and nodded vigorously, “Okay.”

Yan Yifei wanted to stop them from leaving, but he suddenly noticed Zhou Qiaoqiao and furrowed his brows as he asked Yan Wei, “Who is she?”

Yan Wei didn’t hide it and truthfully said, “My fiancée.” As he spoke, he raised Zhou Qiaoqiao’s left hand, and the shining platinum engagement ring on it sparkled.

Yan Yifei almost covered his face and screamed, but the shareholders behind him were all shocked, looking at them in astonishment. These shareholders hadn’t fully recovered from Yan Wei’s six-year delay tactics, and now they thought, it turns out they weren’t the ones who drove the person away; it was just that the person didn’t bother to argue with them? They couldn’t win!

Yan Yifei held back his scream, realizing that Yan Wei’s fiancée was not decided by them. He felt annoyed and asked with a slightly unpleasant tone, “Which Zhou family is she from?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately showed a lovely smile and said, “The Zhou family.”

“The Zhou family?” Yan Yifei furrowed his brows and asked Yan Wei, “Which Zhou family?”

Yan Wei smiled at Zhou Qiaoqiao and said, “Don’t be mischievous.” Then he turned back to Yan Yifei and said, “The Zhou family! In this world, there are thousands of Zhou families, and you wouldn’t recognize them if I told you.”

That meant she was just an ordinary person, and Yan Yifei became even more displeased.

Even if his son couldn’t eat or sleep and was listless every day, he had money, looks, and a slightly cold personality but was attentive. His son couldn’t match up with any young lady from any family?

“You immediately…”

“Dad,” Yan Wei timely interrupted Yan Yifei’s words and looked at him calmly. In that moment of silence, Yan Wei continued, “You know I won’t listen to you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Yan Wei held Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hand and turned around. Yan Yifei shouted from behind, “Where are you going? Are you going to be with her? Then you won’t get a single penny!”

“Zhou Qiaoqiao wanted to turn back, but Yan Wei held her tightly. Zhou Qiaoqiao struggled, and Yan Wei frowned. He lowered his head to look at her; he knew she would be distressed. But he still sighed and said, ‘Qiaoqiao, it’s okay. As I’ve said before, having you is enough for me, and I mean it.’

‘You don’t understand,’ Zhou Qiaoqiao pushed him, still wanting to turn around.

Yan Wei chuckled and said, ‘How could I not understand, but it’s okay.’

‘What do you understand?’ Zhou Qiaoqiao frowned and glanced at him. With her wrist being held, she couldn’t turn around smoothly, so Zhou Qiaoqiao turned back and shouted to Yan Ye behind her, ‘Little brother! Take us down the mountain!’

Yan Wei: ‘…’

Take us down the mountain!

We’re going down the mountain!

Down the mountain!

Mountain!

Several people at the entrance felt as if Zhou Qiaoqiao’s shout echoed in their ears. Yan Wei looked at the taxi that had already disappeared and smirked.

Oh, right! They couldn’t go back that way because it would take a very long time…

Yan Wei recalled for a moment how long it took them to climb up that cement road that vanished into the darkness at the end.

Half an hour? 45 minutes?

‘Yan Wei, we can’t get a Didi here. Let’s ask your little brother for help!’ Zhou Qiaoqiao tugged at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei felt ashamed of his self-righteousness just now. He thought Zhou Qiaoqiao was being unfair to him.

He wanted to stand up for her…

Sighing, Yan Wei shouted without looking back, ‘Xiao Ye.’

Yan Ye immediately understood and approached, saying, ‘Coming.’

In the end, Yan Wei still took Zhou Qiaoqiao and got into Yan Ye’s car. Zhou Qiaoqiao leaned out of the car and waved goodbye to Yan Yifei, almost making him vomit blood.

Is this woman provoking me now? Is she trying to provoke me!

Yan Wei pulled her closer and said, ‘Qiaoqiao, my father still doesn’t like you. If you say goodbye to him so happily, it will only make him angrier.’

Zhou Qiaoqiao turned around, puzzled, and asked, ‘Why?’

Why?

Yan Wei thought for a moment and said, ‘Probably because of people’s prejudice.’

Advertisements

‘Right!’ Zhou Qiaoqiao said, ‘He won’t have prejudice against me in the future. When he thinks back to today, he will think I am polite!’

Yan Ye: ‘…’ But now she’s making him furious! Did my brother find a foolish person?

Yan Wei pondered for two seconds and answered, ‘Qiaoqiao is right.’

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled, and Yan Ye fell silent even more: ‘…’ Is my brother also foolish?

‘Your house is beautiful,’ Zhou Qiaoqiao said. She noticed the house earlier; next to it was a huge swimming pool. The yard was bustling with people, and women were wearing eye-catching dresses.

Although it was nighttime, the villa was tall, large, and very beautiful in style.

‘It’s alright,’ Yan Wei replied casually.

Zhou Qiaoqiao’s eyes rolled, and she leaned on the front seat and asked Yan Ye, ‘Are you really together with the woman from earlier?’

Yan Ye didn’t like it when others mentioned this matter. It made him irritated just by hearing it, so he replied without controlling his tone, “Why are you asking this???”

Zhou Qiaoqiao turned back and said pitifully to Yan Wei, “Your younger brother yelled at me.”

Yan Ye immediately felt embarrassed and said softly, “…I didn’t yell at you, but does this matter have anything to do with Qiwen?”

Yan Wei leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest. He remained silent for a moment after hearing Yan Ye’s words, then said to Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Come back and sit. Some things are other people’s choices, and they bear the consequences, good or bad.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao obediently sat back, and Yan Ye took a deep breath and asked, “Big brother, do you think Qiwen is not good enough?”

“When did she get divorced?” Yan Wei asked him, but Yan Ye didn’t answer. Yan Wei chuckled and said, “She got married immediately after the divorce. That’s her freedom. But anyone with a little conscience wouldn’t rush into marriage like that, or even have a child. She got divorced, and within a month, she had your child. And the fact that the child can be confirmed means that the child is at least 10 days old. This matter not only embarrasses Xiangli’s family and the Shang family, but also embarrasses our family and you, Yan Ye.”

Yan Ye: “…”

Yan Wei continued to ask, “How did she get pregnant?”

Yan Ye remained silent and didn’t answer. Yan Wei coldly said, “If it was done openly and honestly, you wouldn’t hesitate to tell me. Yan Ye, whom do you think you’re being sorry for?”

It hasn’t been a month since Shan Lingtong lost her child, and you already have a child with Shang Qiwen. The harm Yan Ye has caused Shan Lingtong is more than the 0.2% that money can account for.

Shan Lingtong seems to be a forbidden topic for Yan Ye, but because Yan Wei is the one talking, he doesn’t dare to retort and can only clench his fists.

Seeing that Yan Ye shut down Yan Ye’s arguments in just a few sentences, Zhou Qiaoqiao dared not speak anymore. She could feel that Yan Wei was very angry with Yan Ye!

Yan Wei reached out and touched her head, giving her a smile. In that moment, Zhou Qiaoqiao felt relieved. Yan Wei’s comforting was always simple but powerful. As long as Yan Wei was there, Yan Ye wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.

Yan Ye silently drove the two of them to the Song’an City residential area. He watched as Yan Wei helped Zhou Qiaoqiao out of the car, and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, do you think I’m in the wrong? I like Qiwen, and I want to be with her.”

Yan Wei sighed and turned to look at him, saying, “You can make your own decisions. Xiaoye, you’re already 28 years old. It’s different for me. I’m certain about who I want to be with. But you have to ask me even about the person you want to be with. Do you really know what you want?”

On the way back, Zhou Qiaoqiao asked Yan Wei beside him, “When you said you were certain about who you wanted to be with, were you referring to me?”

Yan Wei smiled and patted her head, saying, “Qiaoqiao, I even brought you home to meet my father.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao was momentarily stunned, then realized, “Ah, I met the parents!!!”

When the two of them returned home, Zhou Qiaoqiao collapsed on the sofa, and Yan Wei went to close the doors and windows and turned on the air conditioning. Without looking back, he said, “Go take a shower first! Get up quickly, don’t lie on the floor… Zhou Qiaoqiao, don’t sleep here.”

Zhou Qiaoqiao got up and went upstairs, collapsing on the bed. Suddenly, she remembered the hot search that Shang Qiwen mentioned, so she quickly took out her phone and checked. She saw the hot search topic.

“[Popular Star Forced to Miscarry]”

Shan Lingtong wasn’t famous, she was only a D-list celebrity, so this popular star had nothing to do with her level of fame. There was only one hot search related to Shan Lingtong, so Zhou Qiaoqiao clicked to see.

Then, she immediately decided to attribute this matter to Shang Qiwen.

    Hello translator Nim, thank you for this chapter 😁
    There are something that bother me in this chapter.
    This sentence for example: He thought Zhou Qiaoqiao was being unfair to him and wanted to stand up for her。
    In the novel I think the author made a mistake, the sentence make no sense. It should be ” he thought that qiaoqiao felt that he was treated unfairly and she wanted to stand up for him. ”
    And also the part where they are in the car, who is angry to whom ?

      I think the sentence is correct, though. If you read the things before this sentence, there was a dialogue that says Yan Wei not inheriting a single penny, then ZQQ wanted to say something:
      Yan Wei held Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hand and turned around. Yan Yifei shouted from behind, “Where are you going? Are you going to be with her? Then you won’t get a single penny!”
      “Zhou Qiaoqiao wanted to turn back, but Yan Wei held her tightly. Zhou Qiaoqiao struggled, and Yan Wei frowned. He lowered his head to look at her; he knew she would be distressed. But he still sighed and said, ‘Qiaoqiao, it’s okay. As I’ve said before, having you is enough for me, and I mean it.’

      ‘You don’t understand,’ Zhou Qiaoqiao pushed him, still wanting to turn around.
      —This is where he felt that ZQQ was being unfair to him. I think maybe the author made a mistake in using the sentence when they said “and wanted to stand up for her”, because I tried using other the translation app got the same sentence. Maybe I’ll edit that to make it clearer.
      Regarding the other sentences, I’m so sorry. I was really sick this week and wasn’t very clear-minded when I was editing. Thanks for pointing it out.

        It’s ok sansukini sama. I read the novel in Chinese but I’m unable to translate it in English. I’m always grateful that there are translator taking projects.
        Sometimes the sentences in Chinese don’t even make sense. 🤣 English is not easy for me too. 🤭 You are doing an amazing work. I can alone be full of respect for you translation. Thank you very much for the explanation and your hard work. 🥰
