Yan-3 handed over another name list.
âPresident Yan, when we were at the old mansion, I found out that many of them are actually moles Yan Yuan and Yan Ming have inserted to our side.
Theyâre all here.â
Yan Ruo roughly scanned the list and circled a few names.
âThereâs no need to touch these people. Itâs not time yet. You can handle the rest. â
Yan-3 turned around and was about to leave. He did not expect to meet someone he was not expecting.
âAh, Elder Mrs. Yan!â
The person who came was Elder Mrs. Yan. There was no one by her side to accompany her, and no one knew how long she had been listening.
âYan-3, youâre a good child. Youâve suffered.â Elder Mrs. Yan had a kind expression on her face as she comforted Yan-3 gently.
âGrandma.â Yan Ruo quickly stood up. âWhereâs A-Yao? Didnât she accompany you?â
âl brought you some soup. A-Yao went to your kitchen to heat it up.â As Elder Mrs. Yan spoke, she sat on the chair in Yan Ruffs study.
Yan-3 knew that it was time for them to talk. He quietly left and closed the door.
Elder Mrs. Yan casually picked up a sheet of a document from Yan Ruffs desk.
âIâd be surprised if it was really Yan Yuan who set this up.â
Yan Ruo had been by Elder Mrs. Yanâs side for a long time, and he knew that what she was going to say next might be to plead for Yan Yuan.
âYouâve done very well this time. Iâm sure he wonât dare to mess around again after this trial. Grandmaâs helped you this time, so can you promise me one thing?â
Yan Ruo knew that if he had not informed Elder Mrs. Yan beforehand, she would have been the one to give the order to interrogate Yan-3.
If that was the case, Yan-3 might not be able to come back in one piece and continue working.
âGrandma, if itâs about Er-ge, you can rest assured that I wonât go too far.â Yan Ruo knelt in front of Elder Mrs. Yan and made a promise to her.
However, this did not seem to be the answer that Elder Mrs. Yan wanted to hear.
âRuoâer, heâs still a descendant of the Yan Family. If he doesnât have a good life outside, heâll eventually bring shame to the family.â Elder Mrs. Yan saw that Yan Ruo did not say a word and knew that her request was a little too much. However, she had no choice but to use her status as a grandmother to ask for a promise. âPromise grandma that youâll let him live.â
Yan Ruo pursed his lips.
In fact, he had never wanted Yan Yuan to die.
However, Yan Yuan had actually put his hand on Xiao Lin no matter whether it was his own plan or someone elseâs instigation.
This was something Yan Ruo could not tolerate no matter what.
The wound on his arm that he had used to shield Bai Lin was still aching. He could not imagine what kind of harm Xiao Lin would suffer if he went even half a step wrong in his plan. He could not imagine what he would do if his injury this time were on Xiao Lin.
However, he really did not want his grandmother to be sad.
The study room fell into a strange silence.
Outside the door, Yan-3 and A-Yao who was carrying a bowl of soup were looking at each other. The two of them were trying to signal each other to leave.
In the end, the two of them reached a compromise and stopped at the door, one on the left and one on the right, to continue eavesdropping.
âWe canât keep the Zheng Family anymore.â Yan Ruo changed the topic.
âZheng Youâs been abandoned by the Zheng Family. I will not marry her.â
Elder Mrs. Yan did not have any opinion on this matter. She only nodded her head to indicate that she would not interfere.
âRuoâer, you really like that girl called Bai Lin, donât you?â
Yan Ruo nodded with certainty. âYes.â
Elder Mrs. Yan had raised Yan Ruo by her side for many years, so she naturally knew that he would never express his likes and dislikes too clearly.
He never mentioned the food he liked or the subjects he hated, nor did he show any special treatment.
She knew that this was a form of self-protection that Yan Ruo had developed in the Yan Family.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As long as he hid all these, he would not be caught at his weak spot.
However, the way Yan Ruo was looking at her and his tone of voice now made Elder Mrs. Yan feel that he had not only grown up, but he was also able to face his true feelings.
He was no longer the child who had been forced to eat the meat of his beloved puppy.
Elder Mrs. Yan was pleased with Yan Ruffs change. At the same time, she was also curious about what kind of girl Bai Lin was.
âWhy donât you pick a day and bring Miss Xiao Bai to have a meal with grandma?â
