Yan Jinyun was originally in a good mood, but when she heard her words, her good mood completely disappeared.
âAre you leaving just as Sister arrived? Why? Do you not like her that much? No matter what, Sister and I are your biological children. Sister is your daughter, not your enemy!â
âSister doesnât even live in the Yan Family anymore. She only came back once now, but you donât like her that much? Other peopleâs daughters who have been married will come home for the new year too. Even if their parents donât like them, they will still meet them. Sister isnât married yet!â
âNot to mention Sister, Master Nine personally came to visit. Why are you turning around and leaving like this? Are you giving Master Nine a hard time?â
âMom, donât you know what Master Nine means in North City? Go out and ask around. Which business family doesnât want to hook up with Master Nine? Others think of ways to meet him whom they canât even get to meet, but you just donât want to meet him. Do you think that our Yan Familyâs business is so big that we can be condescending?â
âDestroying the Yan Family is just a matter of words to Master Nine. Have you been a wealthy lady for too long and have become arrogant?â
âNot to mention North City, even in the capital, no one would dare to give Master Nine such an attitude. Mom, youâre really capable. You want to be that number one person!â
âIf the Yan Family offends Master Nine, not to mention having money to continue playing cards, it would be good enough for you to even live on the streets.â
Yan Jinyunâs gaze was a little sharp. In addition, what she said frightened Fu Ya.
âI-I simply donât know how to face Jinyu. I didnât think too much about it. I donât have any intention of neglecting Master Nine either. Itâs just thatâ¦â
âYou also know why Jinyu left the Yan Family. Iâm afraid that if she sees me again, sheâll remember what happened on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony and come back to settle the score with the Yan Family.â
âItâs good that Mom still remembers how Sister left the Yan Family. So, since Mom knows and still knows how to avoid it, I think youâve realized your mistake. Shouldnât you apologize to Sister in person?â
Say sorry to that wild girl?!
Fu Ya was furious and almost couldnât help but say the words in her heart. She only retracted her words when she saw Yan Jinyunâs cold face.
Fu Ya didnât forget that she still had to curry favor with Yan Jinyun.
She went out to play cards every day and even asked Yan Jinyun to give her money.
She didnât dare to anger Yan Jinyun now.
Seeing her unwilling look, Yan Jinyun was suddenly extremely disappointed.
âForget it. Mom can go wherever you want.â Perhaps she would make Yan Jinyu feel uncomfortable if she stayed here.
Hearing her say that, Fu Yaâs eyes lit up. Then, she said, âThen the money for playing cardsâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted, âYou only know how to play cards all day. Donât you know how to stop on the first day of the new year?â Yan Qingyu came downstairs.
He glanced at Yan Jinyun and quickly turned his gaze to Fu Ya. âYou play cards every day but youâve never won once. Why? Did the money come from the wind? If you want to play cards in the future, go and work to earn money yourself!â
âQ-Qingyu, what do you mean by that?â
âLiterally!â
Yan Qingyu glanced at Yan Jinyun. âYou donât have to give her pocket money in the future. Iâll give her a million dollars every month. She has food and clothes at home. One million dollars is enough for her to spend outside!â
âIf she doesnât work, she would think that money is so easy to earn. She squandered the money that others earned by working overtime. Does she really think that one is not tired for working so hard?â
Yan Jinyun pursed her lips and looked at him without saying a word.
She didnât know if it was what she thought, but she didnât dare to hope.
Her father had been cold to her for too long. He had rarely spoken to her in the past few months.
It was true that she had to work overtime to earn money.
She had just taken over the Yan Corporation, but she had already dealt with the internal problems in such a short time and even made the Yan Corporation quickly get on the right track. It didnât come from nothing now that the Yan Corporationâs development was also getting better and better.
In the first month, she only slept for three to four hours every day.
This was still good.
At the worst, she didnât sleep for three days.
Her mother would ask her for money almost every three days. It was always half to a million dollars.
It wasnât that she couldnât fork out the money, but it was inevitable that she would feel disappointed if she did it too many times.
She stayed up late and worked overtime but her mother had never said a word of concern to her.
Other peopleâs mothers would definitely not be like this. Just as she knew, Feng Yuanâs mother was not like this.
Feng Yuan wanted to achieve results after joining his company. Naturally, it was very tiring too.
However, at least, when he worked overtime in the study every day, her aunt would send him supper and hot milk and tell him that he didnât have to push himself too hard and take things slow.
This was what she had accidentally heard on the phone with Feng Yuan a few times.
She rarely called Feng Yuan when she was busy. Be it when she was busy or when Feng Yuan was busy, the few times she called him, she happened to hear her aunt send Feng Yuan supper and told him not to stay up too late.
She was actually a little envious.
She was also disappointed and aggrieved.
However, she had no one to talk to, and her pride did not allow her to talk to anyone.
It was easy for her to misunderstand that her father was feeling sorry for her now.
She did not dare to think too much about it. She was afraid that it was just her own wishful thinking.
âHow will that do? What can one million do? Yan Qingyu, you canât treat me like thisâ¦â
âYou donât want it? Alright, if you want to spend money in the future, go earn it yourself.â
âYan Qingyu, how can you treat me like this? How did you promise me back then? You said that you would treat me well for the rest of my life, so I ignored your motherâs objections and insisted on marrying into the Yan Family. Now that Iâm old, you despise me, right?â
âIf you want to think that way, I donât care either. If you find it meaningless to stay in the Yan Family, you can leave too. You can get a divorce anytime.â
Ignoring Yan Jinyun and Fu Yaâs shock, Yan Qingyu continued to say without changing his expression, âWhen people calm down, they will think about many things.â
âI was busy with other things in the past and didnât have the time to think so much. Now that Iâve been free for a few months, Iâve thought about a lot of things that I canât figure out.â
âWhat I canât figure out the most is, why did I insist on marrying you back then? Come to think of it, is there anything outstanding about you?â
âYouâre living the life of a rich lady. Itâs reasonable that you spent my money previously. Iâm your husband. I promised to take care of you for the rest of your life. Naturally, I wonât go back on my word.â
âBut what about the money Yunâer earned?â
âThatâs right. She has the obligation to support me and you. Sheâs still in charge of the Yan Corporation now and is the richest and most influential person in this family. However, how can one live like you? Youâre a mother, not a parasite of the family.â
âYou donât do your job every day and even ask your daughter for money every other day. Thatâs fine. After all, all these years, youâve also developed the habit of being extravagant. However, you used to care about your daughter. What about now?â
âWhat do you take your daughter for now? A money-making tool? The God of Fortune who gave you money to spend?â
âNot only do you not care about your daughter at all, but you also want to curry favor all day. You donât know your place even during the New Yearâs Eve meal. Do you think thatâs a banquet where you have to curry favor?â
âOf course, I donât have the right to criticize you. Iâm not much better than you either.â Yan Qingyu didnât look at Yan Jinyun when he said this.
He didnât know if it was because he didnât want to or⦠he didnât dare to.
âIâll move to the old residence today and live in the old residence in the future. If youâre still willing to stay in the Yan Family, itâs up to you whether you want to stay in the main residence or the old residence. You can also leave the Yan Family.â
âIf youâre willing to take that one million dollars a monthâs pocket money, Iâll transfer it to your account on time. If you donât want itâ¦â
âYes, I want it!â
Fu Ya gritted her teeth. âYan Qingyu, youâre ruthless!â
âYou want me to leave the Yan Family? No way! Since Iâve married into the Yan Family, I wonât leave for the rest of my life!â She already couldnât raise her head in North City. If she left the Yan Family again, how could she still have the face to meet those acquaintances in the future? Besides, what was she going to rely on if she left the Yan Family?
âIf you want to stay in the old residence, go ahead and stay yourself! I will live wherever I live since I marry into the family!â After saying that, Fu Ya ran upstairs angrily.
Yan Qingyu had no intention of responding to Yan Jinyun. He turned and left.
He was headed for the old residence.
Yan Jinyun bit her lip and called him, âDad!â
Yan Qingyu stopped in his tracks but didnât turn back.
âI know that youâre still blaming me for seizing your power, but you also know the situation at that time. If I didnât take over the Yan Family, even if Master Nine couldnât be bothered with you treating Sister like that, you would still have offended Master Nine in the eyes of outsiders. Those people who cooperated with the Yan Family would give up on continuing to cooperate with the Yan Family because they were afraid of Master Nine. You know very well what would happen to the Yan Corporation then.â
Yan Qingyu turned back to look at her. âSince youâve seized my power, do it properly. I donât want the Yan Family to be wasted by someone who seized my power in the end.â
âYou canât earn all the money. I wonder why you work so hard for it.â
âYou donât have to misunderstand what I said to your mother just now. Itâs just that I donât like her style of doing things. It has nothing to do with you.â
âIâll never forget that my power was snatched away by the heir I meticulously nurtured. You even made me unable to show my face in North City from now on! So, donât think that I can let it go.â
âHowever, I knew that I didnât have the ability to take the Yan Corporation back from you. I had once thought of resorting to unscrupulous means. After calming down for a few months and analyzing the pros and cons, I gave up on this plan.â
âMaster Nine values Jinyu and Master Nine even brought her back to the Yin Family. It seems like she has received the Yin Familyâs recognition.â
âShe has Master Nine as her backer and sheâs on your side. Itâs equivalent to you getting Master Nineâs help. I know my limits. With Master Nine as your backer, I canât beat you guys, but I really canât ignore it.â
âIn that case, Iâll stay in the old residence in the future. Out of sight, out of mind.â
Yan Jinyun stared at him and bit her lip without saying a word.
Yan Qingyuâs gaze flickered for a moment before he turned to leave.
âDad, Sister is here. Thereâs no hurry for you to move to the old residence. This is the first time Sister has been at home for the New Year in 16 years. Although New Yearâs Eve has passed, today is the first day of the new year. The meaning is similar.â
âDonât you want to see her?â
Yan Qingyu paused. âThereâs no need to.â
âItâs not like we have a deep relationship. Besides, if it wasnât for her, would my power be snatched away by my biological daughter? Before she came back, everything in the Yan Family was fine. Ever since she came back, nothing went smoothly for me.â
Yan Jinyun was furious when she heard that. She was about to speak when someone beat her to it.
âYo, everyoneâs here.â
Yan Jinyun and Yan Qingyu froze at the same time.
They looked over and saw Yan Jinyu standing at the entrance with a smile.
Zhao Ling, who was leading the way by her side, was trembling in fear. She looked very frightened. It seemed like Yan Jinyu had long been standing there, but Zhao Ling didnât speak up to notify them. Zhao Ling was so nervous and scared because she was afraid of being punished by her, the head of the Yan Family.
Didnât that mean that Yan Jinyu had heard everything?
Yan Jinyunâs heart tightened, âS-Sisterâ¦â
Yan Qingyuâs pupils were constricted. If one looked closely, they would notice that he was a little flustered and at a loss.
He was about to leave in a hurry, but he could not take a step now.
