Chapter 87: A Man Who Listens to His Wife Has Good Luck

Du Lian Shuang, who had been worrying over how to tell her friend about Liao Jing Yi, was also delighted when she heard this. She turned to look at her own sister in law. Seeing her give a nod, she excitedly grabbed Yin Bai Lu’s hand.

“Don’t blame your sister for not thinking of you when there is something good. Our An An really has the real skills. Ordinary people might not even be able to invite her. It’s only because of our friendship that I can get her to squeeze you in. Other people would have to line up obediently and wait their turn.”

Du An Rao: “…” This was way too exaggerated. She was nowhere near the level where people had to line up for her.

Yin Bai Lu had already been tempted. After being pushed like this by Du Lian Shuang, she became even more eager and raised her head to look at her husband with expectation.

Liao Yu Qian let out a sigh. Since Du Lian Shuang had put it that way, for his wife’s sake he had to go through the motions.

“Then I’ll trouble Miss Du.”

Du An Rao nodded modestly. She did not start by talking about his daughter. Instead, she carefully studied his physiognomy.

After a while, she suddenly knitted her brows, and her expression grew more and more serious.

Everyone saw the change in her expression. Yin Bai Lu was the impatient type and was the first to step forward and ask: “Miss Du, is there something wrong with my husband?”

Du An Rao gave her a soothing smile: “Auntie and my aunt are good friends. Just call me An An. From Mr. Liao’s physiognomy, it looks like he has run into some troublesome obstacles in his career recently.”

Liao Yu Qian raised his brows, smiling yet not smiling: “It seems President Xi just mentioned that.”

“Yu Qian.” Even Yin Bai Lu could hear that he was clearly tearing her down, so she immediately shot him a glare to make him shut up.

Du Lian Shuang also could not stand anyone doubting her precious niece. On top of that, she was already extremely close with the Liao couple, so she immediately arched a cold brow and spoke in a mocking tone: “Looks like President Liao doesn’t think much of our An An’s abilities. In that case, we shouldn’t force ourselves on others. It would be a pity if we put in all this effort and the person doesn’t appreciate it.”

It had to be said that the people who knew you best were the ones who knew exactly how to handle you.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Lian Shuang finished speaking, Yin Bai Lu put on a live show of exploding on the spot.

“Liao Yu Qian, if you can’t speak properly, then shut up. No one will treat you like a mute.”

Liao Yu Qian: “…”

Poor President Liao could afford to offend Du An Rao, but he did not dare offend these two ancestors. In order not to end up sleeping in the study tonight, he bravely swallowed his pride and chose to shut his mouth.

The corners of Du An Rao’s mouth twitched twice. She was having a hard time holding back her laughter.

[So this big boss is actually henpecked in private. Is this what they call a cute contrast? Hahaha… But a man who listens to his wife usually doesn’t have bad luck. Isn’t he lucky to have run into me?]

After warning her disobedient husband, Yin Bai Lu took a deep breath and slowly returned to her gentle elder’s look.

However, her words still unconsciously carried the authority of the head of the household: “An An, just say what you want. Don’t mind him. And what Mr. Liao? Call him Uncle. He’s so old already and still acts all high and mighty, arguing with a junior. He really isn’t embarrassed at all.”

Liao, who was being accused of acting all high and mighty because of his age: “…”

“Okay.” A smile she could not hide hung on Du An Rao’s face. “Uncle Liao’s eyebrows press down over his eyes. They droop slightly and are a bit messy, and his Marriage Gate is slightly damaged and tinged with blue. That is exactly the look of someone plagued by petty people.”

“Plagued by petty people?” Yin Bai Lu’s expression changed a little.

“Yes. This area of the eyebrows is called the Siblings Palace, also called the Friends Palace. From this spot you can not only see the relationship between siblings, but also the relationships between friends, peers, close female friends, and colleagues. Uncle Liao’s eyebrows droop slightly and are messy, but his ears are small and stick out a little. To be frank, Uncle Liao probably isn’t as easygoing in daily life as he looks on the surface.”

Although Du An Rao said this gently, everyone present was sharp. How could they not hear what she really meant?

Yin Bai Lu froze for a moment, then seemed to think of something. She gave her husband a meaningful look and asked, although she already knew the answer: “Then what kind of person do you think your Uncle Liao is in his daily dealings?”

“He is smart and capable, full of strategies, and handles matters with ease. When he takes one step, he has already calculated a hundred more to make sure nothing can go wrong. But at the same time, he is also very strong and decisive. Once he decides on something, he won’t listen to other people’s opinions, and he acts all on his own, domineering and self important.”

As soon as Du An Rao finished speaking and before Liao Yu Qian could say anything, Yin Bai Lu couldn’t help clapping her hands. “Exactly, exactly, every word is right!”

This actually surprised Du Lian Shuang a little. “So he is that kind of person? But I always thought he spoiled you quite a bit.”

“That’s because you have all been fooled by him.” Yin Bai Lu rolled her eyes, feeling like she finally had a way to vent years of pent up frustration.

“He only looks easy to talk to. When there’s a real disagreement, eight or nine times out of ten I’m the one who has to compromise in the end. You have no idea how many times I’ve thrown a tantrum at him over this. But every time this guy admits his mistakes enthusiastically, and then next time he still dares to do it again. He absolutely refuses to change!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Not only was Liao Yu Qian stubborn and bossy, but he was also good with words. Every time their opinions differed, he would come to her again and again to nag at her, explaining it this way and that.

Yin Bai Lu wasn’t very good with logic and didn’t like those long, roundabout arguments full of big principles. Most of the time she would get confused by his words and end up muddleheadedly agreeing with his view.

“Having a husband who is stubborn and likes to lecture you with big principles is really a scary thing. Many times I wonder if I picked out a father for myself.” When she said this, Yin Bai Lu reached out and held Du An Rao’s hand, feeling more than ever how precious this girl was.

“All these years, you are the only one who has seen his true face. Even my daughter thinks I’m just being unreasonable when I throw a little tantrum at him now and then, when it’s clearly his problem.”

Listening to Yin Bai Lu complain full of resentment, Du An Rao couldn’t help laughing. “Mr. Liao’s personality is a bit strong, but he still has a clear sense of right and wrong about many things. Otherwise, Aunt Yin, you wouldn’t have put up with him for so many years.”

Yin Bai Lu froze. What Du An Rao said was true.

To put it bluntly, Liao Yu Qian was a little bit in between good and evil, but he had bottom lines, weaknesses, concerns, and human warmth.

Even though he had some gray businesses that could not be put on the table, he still managed to stay within the boundaries and had never stepped over the line.

The fact that there was no murderous aura or foul energy on him proved it. But once you get your hands on certain things, it is very hard to stay completely untouched. With the slightest carelessness, you can become a target others want nothing more than to get rid of.

Because of this, none of the Liao family at this moment realized that beneath the calm surface, murderous waves were already surging. Danger had long been lurking at their side.

“And also, Auntie, you just said that all these years, eight or nine times out of ten you are the one who compromises when you argue. But isn’t there still one or two times left?”
