Chapter 2276

Yu Yan said, "Then why didn't you notify me beforehand?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "We told Aunt's husband, and he agreed to us doing this."

Yu Yan shook his head helplessly; since his brother-in-law had agreed, he had nothing more to say.

His two children had been afraid of him since they were young because he was too strict. By comparison, they were much closer to their aunt and uncle, telling them about many things, while he was the last one to know; he had already gotten used to it.

Since his brother-in-law had agreed, there was no problem with this matter; the situation must be under Gu Shanmin's control. On this point, Yu Yan still admired this brother-in-law very much.

Yu Yan said, "Since your uncle agreed, then it's fine. This You Jiayu should indeed be taught a lesson; he did such disgusting things, and it was self-inflicted. However, if you see Elder You, don't tell him about this matter; his health is poor, do you understand?"

The relationship between Elder Yu and Elder You was quite good, so every year during the New Year, Yu Ruizhi and the others would pay a New Year call to Elder You. Now it was the end of the year, and it wouldn't be long before the New Year, so they would be paying a New Year call to Elder You again.

Elder You could no longer walk and had some hemiplegia from a stroke; his physical condition couldn't compare to Elder Yu's. If he were to know that You Jiayu had done such a shameful thing, he really might not be able to catch his breath.

Because You Jiayu was good at studying, he had once been Elder You's favorite grandson. If others had an accident, that would be one thing, but if the news of You Jiayu's accident reached Elder You's ears, he would definitely be very disappointed.

Yu Ruizhi said, "Of course I won't tell Elder You about this kind of thing."

Yu Yan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Sigh, the You family doesn't have many talents now; it's truly a case of each generation being worse than the last. I originally thought You Jiayu was the most outstanding one among the You family's third generation, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."

Yu Yan sighed for the You family, but he immediately thought of his own family. Compared to the You family, the Yu family could be considered to have a succession of talents, especially in recent years, where the performance of Yu Junchu, Yu Ruizhi, Yu Ruoqiu, and others had been very eye-catching, becoming the backbone of the Yu family.

Yu Ruizhi had once been considered inferior to other third-generation family members, but now he had considerable achievements in the business world, and his actions were becoming more and more steady; in recent years, he had even started charity work. Even Premier Nan would mention Yu Ruizhi's name when meeting Yu Yan, making Yu Yan feel proud of this son.

Thinking of this, Yu Yan felt very gratified. He certainly knew that their outstanding performance in recent years was inseparable from Su Xinghui; they had made a good friend. Having such a friend was a blessing for the Yu family.

It seemed that the Yu family could at least maintain its prosperity for several decades.

By comparison, other red families didn't have as many talents as the Yu family. Some red families had even declined; after the elders in their families withered away one after another, there were no talents of sufficient weight to hold up the family, and they became indistinguishable from the masses.

There were only a dozen or so red families that could still remain glorious, and the Yu family could be considered one of the leaders among them. This was not only because Elder Yu was still alive, but also because the Yu family had good family education, which had produced numerous talents, making the Yu family one of the most glorious families among the red families today.

Yu Ruizhi said, "Yes, with a descendant like You Jiayu, if Elder You knew, he would definitely be angered to the point of fainting; this is simply destroying his lifelong reputation in one fell swoop!"

Yu Yan took the opportunity to educate his son, saying, "So your actions must be restrained; take You Jiayu as a warning and don't repeat his mistakes. Your every move also concerns our Yu family, this big family."

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "Dad, I know. I'm not the person who doesn't know the importance of things like I was before."

Yu Yan nodded with gratification and said, "Ruizhi, you are indeed doing very well now. When I went to see Premier Nan that time, he praised you in front of me, saying that you donated a lot of funds and materials during the flood fighting and disaster relief, making a huge contribution to the relief effort."

Rarely hearing his father praise him like this, Yu Ruizhi was a bit unaccustomed to it. He said, "Dad, actually I didn't do much; the things I donated were all things Xinghui told me to do."

Yu Yan said, "Xinghui is a person with long-term vision. You must cherish having such a friend and learn more from him in the future."

Yu Ruizhi nodded. He took a stack of materials out of his bag and handed them to Yu Yan, saying, "Uncle told me to give these things to you. He said the You family should soon know that You Jiayu's matter is related to our Yu family, and people from the You family will come to find you. You can make some preparations in advance after reading these things."

Yu Yan took the stack of materials. These materials were printed emails from You Jiayu's mailbox. Yu Yan flipped through the contents of those emails, his expression becoming more and more solemn. Just now, listening to Yu Ruizhi talk about You Jiayu's actions, he hadn't had an intuitive impression, but now that he had seen these materials, he knew what You Jiayu had actually done.

After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I know."
