Chapter 388: 388 was directly thrown out of the Lin Family, whereabouts of the King of Yan【2 more updates】 Chapter 388: 388 was directly thrown out of the Lin Family, whereabouts of the King of Yan【2 more updates】 Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang ca to the Lin Family of Jiangcheng with Kang Mufeng and Zhu Qingxian, intending to bring Ye Wanlan back to the Kang Family. This news had reached the ears of everyone in the Kang Family.
Kang Lejia was the only daughter of the second branch of the family and had been the apple of her parent’s eye since childhood. She could not comprehend or accept that Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang wanted to bring soone back who had no blood relation to their family.
“I acknowledge that you won last year’s physics team competition. You are very impressive and gifted,” Kang Lejia said, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “To be frank, dostic physics competitions are just child’s play.”
Ye Wanlan still did not look at her.
“I passed the preliminary entrance test for the Global Center last year.” Kang Lejia’s eyes glinted with contempt. “Ever heard of GPC?”
GPC, the acronym for Global Physics Competition, was hosted by Shenzhou University and open to those over sixteen.
This was the ultimate stage where all physics prodigies could compete against each other.
“You might have beaten Harbor City No.1 Middle School, but that’s because I wasn’t interested in dostic competitions,” Kang Lejia continued. “With your level, could you even make it to the finals of the GPC?”
The difficulty of the GPC was at least ten tis that of the dostic high school physics competitions.
Kang Lejia hadn’t watched the high school physics competitions, but knowing Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang wanted to bring Ye Wanlan back to their family over this had filled her with incredulity and anger.
Ye Wanlan suitable?
Finally, Ye Wanlan glanced her way. “Rest assured, I have no ti or desire to return to a minor family.”
“Minor family?” Kang Lejia burst into laughter. “Do you even know what a minor family is? Even if you multiplied all of Lin’s assets by ten, it wouldn’t compare to our Kang Family, and you still think you’re too good for us? Do you really think a branch can represent the Yunjing Lin Family?”
The Lin surna was not only widespread but also carried significant influence.
However, not everyone with the surna Lin was a direct descendant of the Yunjing Lin Family, even though they shared the na, the status difference was vast.
The Kang Family was the most prominent family in Harbor City, growing rapidly, and had established solid connections with the Global Center enterprises, their influence even exceeding the Zhou Family of Jiangcheng.
Admittedly, Shenzhou was in a period of peace, but in reality, there were frictions of varying degrees in many parts of the world.
As a pharmaceutical enterprise, the Kang Family was crucial.
Even the Su Family of Yunjing would procure supplies from the Kang Family; could a branch of the Lin Family compare?
Kang Lejia simply couldn’t believe that Ye Wanlan didn’t want to return to the Kang Family.
“Fine, then please relay this to everyone in your family,” Ye Wanlan smiled. “If you want back, there’s only one condition—everyone in the Kang Family must take my surna.”
“How dare you!” Kang Lejia exploded in rage. “What’s so great about your surna?”
Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently: “So, you can leave now.”
“You…!” Kang Lejia couldn’t manage to utter another word as a bodyguard who had just stepped forward lifted her up and threw her out of the gate of the Lin Family Old House.
“Miss Lejia!” The Chief Guard was shocked and hurriedly helped Kang Lejia back up.
With a “bang,” the iron gate closed, shutting out those who didn’t belong.
“Miss Wanlan, the Kang Family has really gone too far,” Steward Lin was also furious. “They give you such treatnt while trying to get you back.”
“Their issues don’t concern us,” Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly. “Don’t ntion this to grandmother.”
Steward Lin understood.
“Yeah, um,” Ye Wanlan made a call. “Send an additional team here at the old house, don’t allow any unfamiliar faces to even get close to the premises.”
She hadn’t overlooked Lin Weilan’s condition.
Lin Weilan’s spirit seed better day by day, but her body was gradually weakening.
Recently, Lin Weilan had been falling asleep for longer durations.
Two days ago, Lin Qin had tried to wake Lin Weilan for a al as usual, but there was no response for a long ti.
Although Lin Weilan eventually woke up, it left Lin Qin anxious and worried.
Ye Wanlan didn’t want these irrelevant people disturbing Lin Weilan anymore.
Outside the iron gate, Kang Lejia was furiously flushed with anger: “Such terrible manners!”
“Miss Lejia, don’t be upset,” the Chief Guard said quietly. “The old master and madam still favor you the most. They ca to Jiangcheng to have another bargaining chip in the family, and to pave the way for you at the Global Center by taking her in.”
“I doubt that,” Kang Lejia snorted coldly. “This Ye Wanlan is the daughter of Zhu Qingxian and another man, and she has no blood relation to our Kang Family. What gives her the right?”
“Miss Lejia, rest assured, even if she does co back, she won’t affect your status,” the Chief Guard mused for a mont. “Besides, if she’s under your watch, it might even turn out to be a good thing.”
Kang Lejia’s eyes narrowed as she took in his words.
“Isn’t Miss Lejia supposed to visit the headquarters of Pulling the Sky Company to view their new products for this quarter?” the Chief Guard added. “The major show just ended a couple of days ago, so it must be crowded now.”
Kang Lejia grunted, dusting off her clothes: “Let’s go.”
Her main purpose for coming to Jiangcheng was to see and purchase the new products released by the Pulling the Sky Company.
With her status, even if it was a top luxury brand, a simple phone call from her would make the brand deliver new products directly to the Kang Family for her selection.
However, she had just noticed Pulling the Sky Company’s existence because of that major show and had yet to beco a top-tier VIP custor without such privileges, and was even unable to make an advance reservation.
Ye Wanlan’s matter quickly faded from Kang Lejia’s mind.

In the evening, Lin Weilan returned with Lin Wenli and Lin Qin.
Her eyes were bright, and she appeared energetic, walking steadily.
“Mom, a new year brings new spirits,” Lin Woyu smiled. “When Qinqin and the others take their college entrance exams, I’ll wear a cheongsam with you to greet them.”
Lin Weilan just smiled: “Sure, that sounds lovely.”
After dinner, she called Ye Wanlan to the garden.
“Ah Lan, cough cough…” Lin Weilan coughed a few tis. “What do you think about… about Madam Kang?”
Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, “Grandma, you shouldn’t worry about such troubleso matters. She isn’t acknowledging , but I have you, my uncles and aunts, which is quite fine.”
After a mont of silence, Lin Weilan sighed, “That’s true, better not get involved in problems of the previous generation.”
“Grandma, I always believe my father hasn’t died,” Ye Wanlan said softly. “I will find him and uncover all the secrets. Please wait for .”
There seed to be a tear in Lin Weilan’s eyes as she patted Ye Wanlan’s hand, smiling: “Of course, I’ll wait.”
anwhile, Yan Tingfeng was provided a dedicated guest room at the Lin’s house, and he settled there.
Just when he was about to address so affairs, he received a call from Xiang Shaoyu: “Calling so late, is there an ergency?”
“Brother, about your request last ti to find King of Yan’s Gold-threaded Black Iron Armor, there’s so progress,” Xiang Shaoyu spoke. “A collector in the Northwest owns hundreds of the shards; it seems he might have taken a whole set, but he’s extrely eccentric, and it seems unlikely he would accept just money.”
The land of King He Jia was in the Northwest, and with Shenzhou bordering the Northern Lands, it was sensible for his relics to appear there.
“Oh?” Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow. “Eccentric?”
“He has an extre passion for Shenzhou culture,” Xiang Shaoyu said helplessly. “He even adamantly claims his past life was as a Shenzhou person. I once traveled to the Northern Lands to attend an auction but couldn’t bring back the items because I was on his turf.”
“Oh?” Yan Tingfeng’s eyebrow rose higher. “Did he consult a Psychic?”
“I reckon even the Psychic might think he’s not quite sane,” Xiang Shaoyu paused. “Also, he’s a fanatical fan of Princess Yongning; he even claims he must have been a follower of hers in his past life.”
Yan Tingfeng’s brows lifted even higher: “Interesting, so unless I bring sothing of Princess Yongning, he might not give those Armor Shards?”
Xiang Shaoyu sighed again: “I’m afraid that might be the case.”
Yan Tingfeng fell silent, thinking for a long while, then looked towards Bing He and Tie Ma: “Do you two have any thoughts?”
Bing He blurted out: “Young Master, this collector sounds just like you! You should use love to influence him!”
Tie Ma: “…”
He twitched his forehead and silently moved away from Bing He.
Indeed, he shouldn’t have expected anything sensible to co from Bing He’s mouth.
“What does ‘sa fan’ an?” Ye Wanlan pushed the door open holding a glass of milk, just in ti to catch such a sentence.
Bing He pulled out his mo, speaking solemnly: “Sa fan ans liking the sa idol. The gentleman likes Princess Yongning, and so does the collector, making them ‘sa fans.'”
Tie Ma: “…”
“If we exchange Princess Yongning’s items, he’ll definitely give us King of Yan’s armor,” Xiang Shaoyu’s voice ca through the phone again. “But our existing relics of Princess Yongning are also extrely precious; once given away, they’re gone.”
Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows: “We don’t necessarily have to give sothing.”
She planned to et this “fanatical fan” herself.
“Not give sothing?” Xiang Shaoyu was baffled. “Then what should we do?”
She couldn’t possibly excavate Princess Yongning from the ground and bring her to the Northern Lands, could she?
