Chapter 415: Not so rebellious

~7 min read 1,340 words

Yan Qingxue advanced by retreating, simply acting the white lotus to the extreme.

Yan Ershen was so angry that her seven orifices were smoking, but she had bitter words that she couldn't speak.

"Little Tian, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Xu Tian's arm and walked toward the outside of the Yan family courtyard with a limp.

Xu Tian followed Yan Qingxue without changing his expression, and didn't lower his voice to say to Yan Qingxue until they walked out of the monitoring range of the Yan family old house.

"Performance is not bad."

"How is it? My acting skills are okay, right!"

Yan Qingxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and threw the bracelet accessories in her hand into the trash can by the side of the road.

"Very potential to be an actor." Xu Tian nodded and said: "Before, your Second Aunt's family often used this trick to frame your godparents in front of Grandpa and Grandma. Now we do this, it's just letting them eat their own bitter fruit."

"You're right, but can Grandpa and Grandma really believe what I said?"

Yan Qingxue still had doubts.

"Even if they can't fully believe it, once the seeds of suspicion are planted, the rift between them will only grow larger and larger."

"I hope so." Yan Qingxue took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got in: "Actually, I don't care about Grandpa and Grandma's view of me. If it weren't for my parents, I would wish I could never have contact with them for the rest of my life."

"There's no need to be so extreme. They are your Grandpa and Grandma after all. The reason they treated you like that before was also because they were instigated by your Second Aunt's family."

"Before your godparents were framed, he also valued your family very much."

Although the Yan patriarch had all the problems of a feudal family head, he was not a bad person after all.

Xu Tian still didn't want Yan Qingxue to always hold a hateful attitude toward them.

The child wants to support but the parents are not there. He didn't want Yan Qingxue to regret her current impulsiveness in the future.

"Fine, then I'll listen to you." Yan Qingxue shrugged indifferently: "Actually, Grandpa and Grandma treated me quite well when I was a child, and they didn't favor Hongyu just because I was a girl. My calligraphy was taught by Grandpa himself, Hongyu didn't even have this treatment..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qingxue seemed a bit melancholy.

"But why did everything change after I grew up?"

"Forget it, don't talk about this!"

"I'm hungry, let's go eat a late-night snack."

She said with feigned ease.

"Tossing around all night and not eating anything, not to mention having to look at the disgusting faces of Second Aunt and Yan Hongyu, it's really more tiring than working overtime."

Just when Yan Qingxue and Xu Tian intended to eat a late-night snack, the banquet at the Yan family old house was forced to stop because of the episode just now.

The Yan family elders left the banquet early on the excuse of physical fatigue after Qingxue left, and other guests found excuses to say goodbye when they saw the atmosphere was wrong.

Yan Ershen originally wanted to take this opportunity to publicize the fact that Yan Hongyu was about to cooperate with the Meilan Art Troupe, so as to stabilize his position in the group, but she was messed up by Yan Qingxue, not to mention the plan failed, and she was not a human being in front of the Yan family elders. After the party dispersed, she went upstairs in a gray way.

Yan family master bedroom on the second floor.

"Old man, who do you think was lying just now?" The Yan matriarch was still depressed because of what happened at the banquet just now.

"Wanwan and Hongyu both said that Qingxue deliberately framed them."

"I think Wanwan is a bit strong sometimes, but she shouldn't be so rebellious as to say she wants to take power. What's more, Hongyu is a child we watched grow up, he shouldn't lie either."

"But Qingxue again..."

"Hmph, in order to maintain his mother, what can he not say?" The Yan patriarch snorted coldly: "Then do you think Qingxue deliberately framed Second Aunt's family?"

"With Qingxue's temper and brain, does she have the ability to make up such a flawless lie?"

"I estimate that it must be Second Aunt who said something unpleasant and was heard by Qingxue."

Hearing this, the Yan matriarch frowned and remained silent.

Indeed, as the Yan patriarch said, Yan Qingxue's personality had always been straightforward and had no scheming, so it was indeed unlikely that she would frame Second Aunt.

The Yan patriarch continued with an unhappy expression.

"Second Aunt's family is now hard-winged, thinking that they have the power, and even I don't put them in their eyes!"

"Not to mention that my body is still strong now, even if I am really old or sick and have no strength to intervene in the company's affairs, they shouldn't have this idea!"

"I'm not old and confused yet, they have already calculated to this point. In the future, when we are both old and have no mobility, they are afraid that they will be eager to send us on the road!"

The Yan matriarch was startled and hurriedly said.

"Second Aunt's family shouldn't be so rebellious..."

"Wanwan has always disliked Xiaya, and the Second and Eldest families have long accumulated grievances. Today she saw Qingxue show off in front of us, and it's normal to complain a few words..."

"I feel that Wanwan can't say that this family can only be decided by her. I guess that girl Qingxue is also biased, and her words are exaggerated..."

"Even if they can't say such things, can you be sure they don't have such thoughts in their hearts?"

The Yan patriarch sneered.

"Looking at the famous families around us in Jiangcheng, how many children have made absurd things for the sake of family property?"

"Sigh..." The Yan matriarch shook her head helplessly: "Actually, it's understandable that Wanwan wants to be the head of the family early. After all, the Yan family's company and family property can only rely on the Second family to inherit."

"But in such a situation now, do you think I'm not uncomfortable?"

"The eldest son I trusted and valued so much before actually embezzled public funds and did things that eat inside and out. How can I, as a mother, not feel pain?"

"Now I put all my hopes on the Second family, and I really don't want any more changes."

Even if Yan Ershen's behavior was indeed not decent, the Yan matriarch still favored the Second family in her words.

"Who said the family property can only be inherited by the Second family?"

The Yan patriarch disagreed with the Yan matriarch's idea.

"The eldest is unreliable, isn't there still Qingxue?"

"I think Qingxue's recent performance may not be incompetent as a head of the family."

"Qingxue has indeed made progress recently, it's just a pity that her temper..." The Yan matriarch obviously didn't agree with cultivating Yan Qingxue.

"She is still young now, and when she is older, she will naturally be stable."

The Yan patriarch continued.

"In any case, we cannot determine the heir too early, otherwise I'm afraid the things Qingxue said today might all come true..."

There are plenty of examples of people being stripped of power and sidelined, dying in depression because they determined their heir too early.

Although the Yan Family Patriarch was not greedy for power, he also didn't want to hand over all the family business he had built to his son too early.

It would be fine if the second son's family were filial, but if they were blinded by power, he and his wife might end up in a miserable situation in their later years.
