Chapter Ninety-Four: The Successor
I don't know when Lu Dao started, Song Tian fell in love with Yan Qi, in Yan Chao's opinion at that time, the eldest brother was obviously interested in Song Tian, the two used to be very close, and there seemed to be many secrets between the two of them, just when he was about to give up with a hopeless attitude, he suddenly heard that Yan Qi and Song Tian had a falling out, and the cause seemed to be the tonic soup that people didn't know after drinking it, no one knew what Lu Dao was for Song Tian, who was gentle and reserved, would use such a stupid way to keep Yan Qi, I don't know what happened that night.
Yan Qi was determined to break with Song Tian, no matter how Song Tian begged in a low voice, he could never get him back.
He only knew that when he broke into the door that night and found Song Tian who was lying in the bathtub and cut his wrists, his heart was already hurting and he couldn't extricate himself, since the eldest brother couldn't give her happiness, then he would give it! He will use his life to take care of this weak and beautiful girl!
Song Tian peeked at Yan Chao, only to see that his expression was cold and severe, and his heart was also very bottomless, I don't know if he would keep thinking about her and Yan Qi's previous affairs, tears immediately appeared in his eyes, and his eyes began to lose focus and become confused.
Yan Qi came back to his senses from his thoughts, but found that Song Tian beside him had been stiffening his back without any movement, and hurriedly looked at her face, and was immediately shocked, "Tian Tian! Tian Tianβ"
Song Tian was like a puppet doll that had lost its soul, and kept muttering to himself, "Ah Chao, I am a sinner...... I did that,...... I don't deserve to live in this world......"
Listening to her incoherent muttering, Yan Chao was so frightened that the six gods were lost. How similar to what she said when she committed suicide before!
"You're not! You're not! You are the purest and most beautiful girl in the world! You are the one I love the most! Don't listen to the nonsense of those ignorant people, they don't understand, they don't understand you at all......" Yan Chao hugged her tightly, the fear of losing her had occupied all his mind, and his mouth couldn't stop softly comforting.
"What about the second brother? Don't you come down to eat? Is it really affectionate and full of water? Yan Xin said with a big grin as he gulped down the soup.
"You're a girl, Sven." Wu Hua glanced at her with disgust.
"Auntie, that Song Tian is so hypocritical, I don't like it at all." Yan Xin pouted and complained.
"What's the use of you not liking? Your second brother can do it if he likes it. Wu Hua smiled, his expression open-minded, as if everything was none of his business.
In fact, Yan Chao's marriage has nothing to do with her. Yan Qi and Yan Chao's mothers died young. She is Yan Maoqian's successor, and after marrying Yan Maoqian, she has never given birth, after all, she is not her biological mother. For the two stepsons though care. But he can only abide by his duty and not offside. For fear of falling into the hands of others, whether it is their work or life, she has always not asked too much. In contrast, several of Yan Maoqian's nephews and nieces are more emotionally close.
"Ah Yue, come, drink another bowl of soup, this is what I stewed for an afternoon, you studied hard abroad, and there was no one to take care of you, you are getting thinner and thinner." Wu Hua lovingly served Yan Yue a bowl of soup.
Yan Yue, who was not serious outside, was a sensible and obedient baby at home, obediently took her soup, and thanked her very politely, which made Wu Hua smile and squint even more.
"Does it taste good?"
"Well, it's still the soup made by the eldest aunt that tastes like home." Yan Yue said with a smile.
"Auntie, don't worry about it, my third brother's temper can't starve him anywhere, besides, isn't there still a big hair and a little hair?" Yan Xin took a bite of the food.
"After all, it's two big men, where will they be careful? Ah Yue, why don't I ask your uncle to arrange another girl for you to take care of? At least you can be careful in your diet and daily life! Among the several children of the Yan family, Wu Hua has a special preference for Yan Yue, for no other reason, she has always wanted to have a child of her own, and Yan Yue, who has no father and no mother, has become the best object for her to express her mother's affection.
"If I want to eat home-cooked food, I will go home, the class over there will be over soon, no matter how good the food made by others, it will not be able to make the taste of the eldest aunt, not to mention that there is a girl by her side to take care of her, which is not good for me and her reputation." Yan Yue smiled shyly, if people outside see it, I'm afraid that the glasses will be shattered, and the most undisciplined Yan Sangongzi will still care about reputation?
"You kid, you just have a sweet mouth." Yan Yue coaxed Wu Hua into a smile in just a few words, "Now there are fewer and fewer good children like you, those dumb boys and brothers only care about their own happiness, where would they think of any reputation, I really don't know which girl will be lucky to marry a good child like you in the future." β
Yan Yue smiled, his face was slightly red, he looked really shy and shy, which made Wu Hua like it more and more, but it was a pity that his relatives did not have girls of the right age, otherwise no matter how he was, he would not have let this fat water flow into the fields of outsiders.
"The third brother is really annoying, you have been the most likable to adults since you were a child." Yan Xin pouted.
It's no wonder that the Yan family turns a blind eye to Yan Yue's bad reputation, his performance at home is so good that he can't catch a flaw at all, and the Yan family naturally feels that the so-called bad reputation is a basin on Yan Yue's head that is deducted from those people who are psychologically distorted, out of envy and jealousy.
"You little girl, you actually ate my brother's vinegar," Wu Hua smiled and nodded her forehead, "I still think my aunt doesn't hurt you enough?" β
"No, my aunt loves me the most, better than my parents and my parents." Yan Xin grabbed her hand and coquettishly.
"Aunt Wu," Yan Qi shouted strangely as he walked into the restaurant, interrupting the warm and warm atmosphere here.
"Let's sit down and eat," Wu Hua smiled at him, and then instructed the subordinate standing aside, "Give the eldest young master a bowl of soup." β
After Yan Qi walked into the restaurant, the original happy atmosphere changed abruptly, as if such a silent atmosphere was worthy of the Hainan Huanghuali furniture in this room for more than 200 years.
Yan Xin is a young man after all, how can he stand such a depressing and dull atmosphere, and desperately glance at Yan Yue.
"I just saw that grandpa's complexion is not bad, what did the doctor say?" Yan Yue smiled back at her, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth elegantly with a napkin.
"It's not an old problem, blood pressure rises as soon as the weather changes, and it has always been controlled by taking medicine, but that day I played a game of chess with Zhuang Lao at home, probably because I lost ugly, and I fainted in a hurry, we were worried that he would have a stroke, so I called you back with a roar." Wu Hua sighed, "Although it's nothing big now, after all, he fainted, and his body still needs to be well maintained for a while." β
"You're almost over your studies in the U.S., have you ever thought about staying abroad or coming back?" The whole family knows that the only weakness of Yan Qi is Yan Yue, who has always been cold and serious, and only in front of this cousin will he ask so eloquently.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Yan Yue smiled.
Yan Qi knew that he had never been able to understand the psychology of this younger brother, even if he really had an idea in his heart, he could pretend to be ignorant and innocent, so he had to sigh, "Although the family needs you, as long as you are happy." β
When the sky falls, my big brother will support you.
"The people of our Yan family, especially men, must have their own responsibilities and responsibilities, and cannot only pursue one-sided happiness." Yan Maoqian entered the door with a cold air.
"I'm back." Wu Hua hurriedly got up to help him take off his coat and hang it up, and personally served him a bowl of hot soup, and instructed his subordinates to add another pair of chopsticks.
"Don't be busy, I've eaten." Yan Maoqian waved his hand, but he still took the soup in Wu Hua's hand and sipped it one bite at a time.
"Ah Yue, you will come back after reading, your eldest brother is in politics, and the rest of our Yan family's industries depend on you, you have taken care of it well over the years, and it is logical that you will come back to take over." Yan Maoqian and Yan Qi came out of the same mold, they are both stable and serious, they have been accustomed to being in a high position over the years, and they have spoken to their families with some arbitrariness.
"Uncle, there is a second brother in the family's property." Yan Yue smiled, how well-behaved and obedient he looked.
"Yan Chao?" Yan Maoqian frowned, "He doesn't have that ability, I'll let him help you on the side." β
"This is not good, he is an elder brother, and he is young and orderly......" Yan Yue looked embarrassed.
"When did you become so pedantic?" Yan Maoqian looked displeased, "At that time, your father's ability was above mine, so I gave up business and entered politics, our family's tradition is that the capable live there, and what is the order of the young and the young is all nonsense." β
The Yan family is a real big capitalist family, the old man Yan has been switching between the two roles of capitalist and politician all his life, and when he was old, he wanted to hand over the family industry and officialdom resources to his two most proud sons, who expected that Yan Mao had an accident at a young age, and Yan Mao moved into politics, so over the years, it has been the old man Yan who has been struggling to support the huge family industry at the age of more than 80 years, and it is no wonder that under careful maintenance, there will still be such and such problems.
Let Yan Yue take over the family business, is the result of the discussion between the old man Yan and Yan Maoqian, Yan Yue's talent has been seen by the two of them over the years, although his actions seem to be disorderly, and there are a lot of nonsense, but he has a strong sense of the overall situation, accurate investment vision, and even better than his deceased father, the Yan family's huge business empire will only be reassuring when it is handed over to him.
Although the Yan family is a red capitalist, the old man Yan has also been in a high position, and Yan Maoqian has also achieved a position at the provincial and ministerial level, but after all, it is a false position, with the net worth background of the Yan family, it is impossible to cut a big cake in the political pattern.
But they themselves know that these job titles on their bodies are like knights abroad, a symbol of honor and status, and a noble pass, but it does not mean that they are the ones who cut the cake. (To be continued......)
