Chapter 58: with translation of chapter title

Su Xiyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she closed her eyes, and asked fiercely:

Do you believe it or not!

Seeing Su Xiyan baring her teeth and claws, Yan Moci couldn't help chuckle; he quickly approached and, before Su Xiyan could react, lightly poked her rosy lips.

I believe, but if you want to make me a fool, you'll have to pay something, right?

I'll consider these as interest.

Su Xiyan's eyes widened instantly; she had never seen such a shameless person!

He's already taken advantage of her, yet he still says it's just interest!

Su Xiyan muttered through gritted teeth:

Hmph! Capitalist, Scrooge! If I'd known, I should have drugged you and made you run away!

Then everyone will see what kind of dog's tail grass the legendary high-and-flower is when it's shameless!

Yan Moci said calmly and composedly:

I heard that back then, Glory Fortune almost went extinct at the hands of Rong Shengtian, and all the major medicine merchants in Jingdu were waiting for Rong Shengtian to produce his ancestral thousand-year wild mountain ginseng to save Glory Fortune.

But unexpectedly, Rong Shengtian went to the countryside for a trip, and upon returning he suddenly had several dozen boxes of rare, centuries-old wild precious medicinal herbs.

Among them, several varieties were said by experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to have long been extinct, unique specimens.

After that, Glory Fortune made a comeback, yet their board list added a major shareholder who never showed up in person but alone held half of Glory Fortune.

Having said that, Yan Moci stared straight at Su Xiyan, "I wonder if Yan Yan knows about this?"

Su Xiyan looked away, refusing to admit, "Heh, how could a country bumpkin like me possibly know the secrets of the noble families in Jingdu's High Society?"

Yan Moci nodded, "Oh, but I heard that the major shareholder, Rong Shengtian seems to call her, Boss Bai."

Su Xiyan walked to the bed, pulled up the covers and dove in; after pulling the covers over her, her muffled voice came from under the blankets,

"What Boss Bai, Boss Black, I'm exhausted after a busy day, I'm going to sleep!"

Seeing Su Xiyan determined to stay silent, Yan Moci smiled and stopped pressing.

However, after Su Xiyan fell asleep, Yan Moci's gaze grew deeper.

Yan Fanqing, he would never let this matter go like that.

Early the next morning, Dongzi reported to Yan Moci:

Boss, our people have already checked; before several surveillance storage cards were taken yesterday, nearby cameras captured the image of Young Master Fanqing.

That bottle of liquor was brought by the people of Young Master Cheng Ye; it was originally in the hand of the person we knocked out, but after we took that person away, the bottle disappeared.

When we found it again, the empty bottle was in the trash bin in the backyard.

Yan Fanqing narrowed his eyes dangerously, a gloomy flow in his gaze, "Did they find any fingerprints?"

Dongzi shook his head, "We checked, only Young Master Cheng Ye's prints, but not Young Master Fanqing's."

Yan Fanqing gave a cold snort, "Hand the bottle over to Steward Liu, have Steward Liu handle it."

Don't let Su Xiyan handle such dirty work.

Dongzi nodded, "Yes!"

Dongzi hesitated, "What about Young Master Fanqing's side?"

Yan Moci's tone sounded as if chilled with ice, "Keep an eye on him; investigate the previous car accident thoroughly from his person."

Dongzi, "Yes!"

After saying that, Dongzi recalled another matter,

Right, boss, you previously said you wanted to wipe out the Su Family side, but a small problem came up.

Yan Moci frowned, he looked at Dongzi unexpectedly and said:

"It's just a tiny tea merchant; you can't even handle that?"

Dongzi also found it strange, he spoke while sweating coldly:

It's like this: at first, when we wanted to suppress the Su Family, it was indeed easy.

but as we continually dug deeper into eroding the Su Family's industries, our actions were obstructed by two forces.

Yan Moci turned his head to look at Dongzi, "Two sides? And both sides have power?

Which two families?

Dongzi, "One is the Feng family; I've checked that Su Xiyi is currently on fire with the Feng family's eldest young master, Feng Yan, and Feng Yan seems intent on revealing her identity."

And the other is, that certain Su Family.

Yan Moci's gaze suddenly deepened, "That certain Su Family? What's going on, how did these two families become related?"

Dongzi shook his head, "It's not certain yet; the Su Family side is being kept especially tight-lipped.

But boss, I suspect it's very likely related to that daughter who went missing 20 years ago.

Upon hearing Dongzi's words, Yan Moci fell into silence.

If that girl really reappears, then he...

And Yan Yan....

Yan Moci said in a low voice, "You may go first."

Dongzi silently withdrew.

As Su Xiyan returned to her room with a popsicle in her mouth, she saw Yan Moci sitting alone on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She handed Yan Moci a popsicle, "Want some?"

Yan Moci shook his head,

Then he suddenly looked at Su Xiyan and asked softly, "Yan Yan, why did you ask me about the Jade Ruyi last time?"

Su Xiyan's eyes flickered for a moment, but she kept a calm smile, "I just thought that Jade Ruyi was quite unique and beautiful."

Yan Moci smiled, "That Jade Ruyi belonged to my mother."

Su Xiyan suddenly raised her eyebrows,

No way....

That Jade Ruyi belongs to Yan Moci's mother, so what's the deal with hers?

No way it's that cliché; she and Yan Moci are actually siblings, right??

This is way too melodramatic, right??

Incest could get your legs broken, you know!

Su Xiyan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Yan Moci say:

"That Jade Ruyi was originally a pair; do you remember me telling you the story of those two socialite best friends?"

"One of them was my mother."

Su Xiyan nodded, indicating she had already guessed,

Then she heard Yan Moci quietly say:

"Since my mother's niece's daughter was born, she brought me to see her in secret, and split this pair of Jade Ruyi into two pieces."

"One piece is with me, the other is with that girl."

Yan Moci's words were like a bomb dropped in Su Xiyan's heart; she never imagined she would discover her own background in such an unexpected situation.

And what Yan Moci said next shocked Su Xiyan on the spot.

"I once arranged a childhood engagement with that girl, and that pair of Jade Ruyi served as our betrothal token."

Su Xiyan thought:

This arranged marriage came,

It's, quite sudden.

Before she could recover, she heard Yan Moci continue:

"Yanyan, if I tell you, the girl I was engaged to who went missing for years is very likely to have been found."

"What are you going to do about it?"
