The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Chapter 261 Fishing Master

Xie Junchen's eagerness to show off shocked Hai Qingfeng. He could even fish?

How come I've never seen him fishing?

Trying to appear more important than you are is not a good idea; you might end up embarrassing yourself.

Hai Qingfeng patted him on the shoulder and kindly reminded him, "You can fish?"

Xie Junchen disdainfully pulled his hand away, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain, his tone arrogant, "Do you think I'm a piece of trash like you?"

These words stunned Hai Qingfeng, and he was speechless for a long time. Huo Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaoxiao covered their mouths and laughed.

"Miss Song, who are they?" Lei Xiao'an came out and saw a group of strangers. Xie Junchen was behind Hai Qingfeng and didn't see him at first, until Xie Junchen turned around.

Lei Xiao'an strode forward and sincerely thanked him, saying, "It's you, sir. Thank you so much. I've been wanting to thank you for saving me last time, but I didn't know your name."

Xie Junchen glanced at Lei Xiao'an. He had fair skin and looked delicate and frail. He wondered why Yueyue would look at him differently. Did he have some secret?

Xiao Zhou had investigated and found that he was just an ordinary person working at a company.

"You're welcome. I'm Yueyue's friend. It was Yueyue's idea to save you. You should thank her."

Xie Junchen stood beside Song Shuyue, his back straight, speaking with an air of self-righteousness. This gave Lei Xiao'an the impression that he had a close relationship with Miss Song, silently asserting his status.

"Let's go inside first."

As soon as Song Shuyue spoke, everyone followed her inside. Huo Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaoxiao walked beside Song Shuyue. "Shuyue, when did you become so familiar with them? Especially Xie Junchen, could it be that you two..."

Huo Xiaoyu looked at Song Shuyue with a smile and asked tentatively.

Song Shuyue said helplessly, "Don't make wild guesses. He and I are just friends. He has helped me twice."

"Oh." Huo Xiaoyu lowered her head. She had thought it was Yueyue's boyfriend. She was just overthinking things again.

"Miss Song, your home is truly magnificent, with beautiful scenery and a grand, retro feel. If I lived here, I would feel that my behavior would become more elegant."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and smiled at Xie Junchen. He still remembered the blunder that happened last time.

Xie Junchen glared at him but did not reply.

Song Shuyue: "Thank you. I also really like this house. I'm so grateful to Xie Junchen for parting with it."

Gu Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, "Yueyue, you said this house originally belonged to Mr. Xie?"

"Yes."

Xie Junchen echoed, "It has nothing to do with me now."

"Yueyue, your pond is so beautiful, with green lotus leaves. I remember a poem that goes something like this: 'A small lotus bud just shows its pointed tip.' Those tender tips make my hands itch to pick them."

Huo Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, "I live in a villa, a modern European style, where have I ever seen anything like this?"

"You can pick it if you like," Song Shuyue said to her without hesitation.

Hai Qingfeng interrupted, "How can you let someone pick such beautiful lotus tips? Miss Huo, you really have no appreciation for beauty at all. All you think about is cruelly destroying flowers. How heartless!"

Huo Xiaoyu glared at him. She was just saying it; had she ever really thought about taking it off?

This person is so annoying!

"I'm just kidding. You have an appreciation for beauty and art? I don't see it at all."

As she spoke, her playful and teasing gaze swept over him.

Hai Qingfeng felt a blatant insult from this woman.

"That's because you're blind," he swore.

He thought Huo Xiaoyu would be hurt by his words, but to his surprise, the next second, Huo Xiaoyu launched into a tirade of abuse at him.

"You're blind, your whole family is blind! Why are you cursing me for no reason? You have no manners at all."

"you!"

Xie Junchen stopped the two of them, saying, "Alright, if you two are not convinced, then have a fishing contest and see who catches more."

The housekeeper and servants have already brought the tools.

Song Shuyue: "Alright, since we're all here to have fun, let's all have some fun and go fishing together."

Huo Xiaoyu snorted coldly, "I'm not going to argue with someone with such low character."

Hai Qingfeng was very indignant and really wanted to go over and teach this ungrateful brat a lesson, but Xie Junchen stopped her.

Song Shuyue and Xie Junchen sat together.

Song Shuyue asked, "Are you good at fishing?"

Xie Junchen replied confidently, "Yueyue, I'm a fishing expert. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Xie Junchen sat to Song Shuyue's left, and Lei Xiaoan sat to her right.

Lei Xiao'an was also very curious about just how skilled this fishing expert was.

Upon hearing this, Hai Qingfeng's lips twitched. This guy, does he lie without even thinking?

He claims to be a fishing expert, but he's never seen him fish.

The result was that Xie Junchen was proven wrong; the first fish caught by Song Shuyue was a very fat one.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't like fishing, so she contracted to cook and grill fish, and the housekeeper and servants cleaned the fish together.

"Yueyue, you're amazing! That fish is huge!" Gu Xiaoxiao praised.

"Thank you."

Hai Qingfeng chuckled and joked, "Hey fishing expert, have you caught any fish yet?"

Xie Junchen glared at him irritably and continued fishing. Lei Xiao'an had been staying at Xifeng Garden Residence for some time, coming in the morning and leaving in the afternoon.

"Miss Song, my fish has taken the bait."

Lei Xiao'an was overjoyed and pulled out a super big fish.

Song Shuyue: "It's really big."

Xie Junchen's hands, gripping the fishing rod, were sweating slightly. Isn't fishing a simple thing?

He used to go fishing with his business partners and caught a whole bucket of fish, so why is it not working here?

"I caught one too. It's not as big as yours, but I'm still very satisfied."

Hai Qingfeng said with a smile.

I wasn't particularly interested in fishing, but it became more interesting with so many people, especially since someone even suggested making a bet.

Xie Junchen remained silent and quietly fished; he simply didn't believe it.

One fish after another was pulled up by Song Shuyue, greatly diminishing Xie Junchen's confidence. The blow was so great that his eyes even turned red. Everyone else present caught fish one after another, but he was the only one who didn't bite.

That's really weird.

"There are so many fish, can we finish them all?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.

These fish are all rare species, not only for viewing but also for eating, and they taste delicious. However, they have already caught more than twenty fish, which adds up to several hundred thousand yuan.

Xie Junchen didn't catch a single fish, and the fishing expert from before has now been thoroughly humiliated.

Song Shuyue couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I think that's enough, Xie Junchen, why don't you stop fishing?"

Xie Junchen was unconvinced and stubbornly said through gritted teeth, "No way! I will definitely catch a fish."

Hai Qingfeng clicked his tongue twice, and Huo Xiaoyu sneered, "You're still gloating here? Go and persuade him, or he might really go mad."

Hai Qingfeng rolled her eyes at her, "No way!"

With Song Shuyue around, how could he dare to go astray? He would even look around to make sure no one was watching before he lost his temper.

The fish were already grilled and laid out on the table. The chef had also prepared a lot of other delicious food. Song Shuyue asked someone to bring some wine.

Hai Qingfeng dared not try to persuade the fishing expert who was blinded by greed.

After glancing at Song Shuyue, Song Shuyue walked over and patted him on the shoulder. She saw that Xie Junchen looked stubborn and unwilling to give up.

It was strangely funny.

"Thank you, Junchen. Stop fishing. You can have all the fish I catch, okay?"

Xie Junchen felt somewhat ashamed and lowered his head. Song Shuyue did not see the excitement and joy in his eyes after his initial shame.

"Yueyue, am I very embarrassed?"

Song Shuyue: "No, it's normal. Fishing is all about luck. Maybe you're just not having the best luck today. Let's eat together."

"it is good."

After a few words from her, Xie Junchen stood up and followed her over.

"This fish is delicious! Miss Gu's cooking skills are really good."

Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "This fish was grilled by Xiaoyu, I dare not take credit for it."

Hai Qingfeng's expression froze, and he stopped chewing.

"Try it."

Song Shuyue placed a plate of fish in front of him, and Xie Junchen nodded.

Hai Qingfeng wanted to say something, but under Xie Junchen's warning look, he could only eat the fish.

"Miss Song, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, I should go back now, my sister is still waiting for me at home."

Lei Xiao'an was about to go home, and Song Shuyue stood up. "I'll see you off, and I also want to tell you something."

"it is good."

"You guys eat first, I'll be right back."

Xie Junchen watched the two of them leave together, feeling a little uncomfortable and secretly jealous. What was Lei Xiao'an doing coming to Yueyue's house every day? Were they making some kind of deal?

The unknown is the most agonizing and unbearable.

Xie Junchen drank one cup of wine after another, and by the time Song Shuyue returned, he was already slightly drunk.

Huo Xiaoyu and Hai Qingfeng had somehow become close friends and were drinking together.

Gu Xiaoxiao's face was a little flushed from drinking. She hugged Song Shuyue and asked her to drink together. Song Shuyue did not refuse. It was a rare moment of happiness for her, and she also felt that she had drunk a little too much.

I really can't hold my liquor; after just two drinks, my head was spinning.

"Yueyue, do you know? I love my boyfriend very much, but recently I've found that he doesn't seem to love me as much anymore, so we're planning to get married."

Song Shuyue was shocked and pinched her cheek.

"Xiaoxiao, you can't act impulsively. Sometimes, even if you're married, it won't solve anything."

As Gu Xiaoxiao thought about it, she became a little sad and began to sob softly.

"Yueyue, I know that, but... I really like him. We've been together for almost three years. I can't let go of him, so I want to get married. Yueyue, you'll support me, right?"

Gu Xiaoxiao appears strong on the outside, but she is actually more fragile than anyone else inside, and she is also the most indecisive one.

Song Shuyue knew she shouldn't interfere in other people's cause and effect issues.

But she couldn't help but remind her, "Xiaoxiao, to be honest, I don't support your marriage. If possible, I hope you can put your mind at ease and think carefully about what you really want. Sometimes, it's better to do nothing than to make a decision blindly."

Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her eyes filled with sadness.

"Yueyue, you don't understand. You've never been in a relationship. If you had, and truly liked someone, you probably wouldn't have said such things."

"..."

Song Shuyue did not refute her because Gu Xiaoxiao was already drunk and her mind was not clear.

There is no use in talking more.

Want to date?

She never thought about this question when she truly liked someone.

Her heart pounded uncontrollably for a few seconds. Perhaps influenced by the prevailing mindset of the time, she found it perfectly normal for her to be in a relationship.

That's a terrifying idea.

Xie Junchen's burning gaze remained fixed on Song Shuyue, and he couldn't help but step forward.

"Yueyue, can I ask you anything?"
