Chapter 109 The White Lotus Tactic is Outdated
"Are you going back to Yancheng?"
Yan Nan sat cross-legged on the couch, looking at the silver-haired old man opposite her. "Something has happened in Yancheng, so I have to go back."
Old Yan stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
The housekeeper, Yan, was making tea nearby.
His posture was elegant and standard, and his tea-pouring movements were fluid and graceful, clearly indicating that he had been trained by a wealthy family.
A fresh and delicate tea aroma lingers around the nose.
Old Yan suddenly coughed, and his body trembled violently along with the cough.
"Master Yan." Steward Yan immediately came over and gently patted his back.
"It's alright," Old Man Yan waved his hand.
He looked at Yan Nan and asked very slowly, "What's going on with the Yan family?"
Yan Nan wasn't surprised that Old Man Yan wanted to know about what was going on there. He simply said, "I don't know the specifics either, but my father made some fundamental mistakes, so he's been arrested by the police."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Yan closed his eyes briefly, then said, "Useless."
Yan Nan pursed her lips.
“Your father is too scheming and jealous. He has ambition, but he doesn’t have the ability to support it. I pretended not to know what he did back then, but I never expected him to be so disappointing.”
At this point, Old Man Yan let out a long sigh.
“You are much better than your father. You are ambitious, capable, and courageous. It’s just that you need to change your personality.”
Yan Nan remained noncommittal.
That's just how she is; how could she possibly change?
Everyone understands this principle, and it's impossible for Elder Yan not to.
"Go back and take care of the affairs at the Yan family's place as soon as possible, and come back after you're done." Old Master Yan's health was deteriorating day by day.
Therefore, they could only try their best to hand over the family business to Yan Nan completely within the limited time available.
Furthermore, he planned to include Yan Nan in the family genealogy, making him Yan Xu's son.
This way it's more legitimate.
Yan Nan nodded, exchanged a few words with Old Man Yan, and then left the bedroom.
After Yan Nan left.
Old Yan took a sip of tea.
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that she wasn't worried or anxious at all when she heard that her father had been arrested."
Butler Yan saw things very clearly: "Young Master Nan possesses the mindset that a person in a position of power should have."
Elder Yan did not reply to this, but suddenly said, "If Yanshan cannot be protected, then just abandon it."
Butler Yan hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this damage the reputation of the Yan family?"
“If we hadn’t run into that person, it wouldn’t have been impossible to pull some strings.” Old Yan’s eyes were deep. “That person wouldn’t have allowed Yanshan to leave.”
The housekeeper remained silent.
He naturally knew who the old patriarch was talking about.
It was Mr. Chen, of course.
If it were someone else, I could argue with them.
But in front of this man, whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you have to obediently coil up.
"I just didn't expect that Mr. Chen would actually take a fancy to Yanshan's daughter."
Steward Yan had been to Yancheng once, so he naturally knew the situation there.
"That Miss Yanting is not Yanshan's daughter."
"Oh?" Old Yan glanced at him. "What's going on?"
"The child was switched at birth, but the specifics are unclear. The real child was an orphan and an actress." For a family like theirs, the identity of an actress was naturally beneath their dignity.
But Old Man Yan squinted and said, "Wrong baby? How could there be a wrong baby?"
Wealthy families are always very careful and cautious when having children; how could they possibly mix up the babies?
Butler Yan: "Does the old patriarch mean that someone deliberately switched the two children back then?"
Old Yan remained silent.
Seeing this, Steward Yan asked softly, "Old Master, should I go and investigate?"
"No need," Elder Yan said calmly. "These are all old stories. Since things have come to this, let's leave it at that."
-
"Wow, that's awesome!" Tan Yi looked at her best friend with admiration: "You did such a big thing without making a sound."
"You're really amazing."
"It should have been done a long time ago. There's not a single good person in the Yan family."
Yan Ting watched the bartender prepare the drinks and smiled faintly, "It's not all my doing."
"I know, I know," Tan Yi said with a smile. "It has something to do with your Mr. Chen, doesn't it?"
Yan Ting lowered her eyelashes and said in a slow and unhurried tone, "Without him, I could not have brought down Yanshan."
Yanshan, Yanshan, is like a mountain that has always weighed on her.
And this mountain was finally toppled.
"Ladies, your cocktails are ready." The bartender pushed two cocktails in front of them.
Tan Yi picked up his glass, took a sip, and said with great enthusiasm, "Such a joyous occasion should be celebrated sometime."
Yan Ting didn't think too much about it; she picked up her cocktail and took a small sip.
at this time.
A familiar voice sounded.
"Yanting".
Yan Ting looked up and saw Xu Rou standing not far away.
Xu Rou looked at the Yanting Pavilion in front of her and felt nauseous.
If she could, she really wanted Yanting to disappear from her world forever.
But no.
Yan Ting casually rubbed the rim of the wine glass with his fingertips, ignoring Xu Rou.
Xu Rou's eyes darkened.
"Yanting, I know you dislike your father and the others because they care more about me, but you can't wrongly accuse your father for no reason!"
She looked pitiful again.
Wearing a clean white dress, she certainly looked pitiful standing in the brightly lit bar.
Especially the men.
Tan Yi scoffed, "Little sister, stop playing the victim. What era are we living in? That 'white lotus' trick is so outdated."
Xu Rou's expression stiffened slightly.
But she quickly composed herself, looking as if she was about to cry, and said, "Your father and the others raised you with such care and hardship, why are you forcing me like this?"
The people around immediately looked on with expressions of anticipation.
They had all heard about what had happened to the Yan family recently, but who knew they would be there to watch the drama unfold today.
Yan Ting didn't speak, but simply watched her perform quietly. Tan Yi knew her best friend could handle it, so she also stopped talking and stood there watching the show.
Even the most convincing one-person show can feel awkward.
Xu Rou gritted her teeth secretly.
She pinched her thigh, her eyes brimming with tears: "Yanting, could you please have mercy on my father this time?"
she knows.
As long as Yanting agrees.
Yanshan definitely has a chance to be saved.
This time, Yanting spoke up.
She looked away and said in a calm voice, "Do you really think the police would wrongly accuse an innocent person for no reason?"
Xu Rou choked.
The image of the police should not be tarnished.
But she also hoped that Yanshan could come out.
So for a moment, Xu Rou could only think resentfully, "That bitch Yan Ting is really troublesome."
Yanting: "If Yanshan hadn't done those things, you wouldn't need to beg me; the police would have released him on their own. But since the police dared to arrest him, it means he did those things."
and……
The sins Yanshan committed back then were not limited to these.
And Li Qian.
Yan Ting thought of the information Chen Xiao had given her a few days ago, her eyes darkening.
Xu Rou knew that even if she knelt before Yan Ting now, Yan Ting would not give in.
It is an indisputable fact that Yanshan has been sentenced this time.
