Chapter 362: 362 But after all, I am your sister
After the morning eting ended, Yan Shixiu returned to his office. It was then Xun Yinghua knocked on his office door and said, “Boss Yan, the young miss… has arrived.”
“Let her in,” Yan Shixiu said.
Xun Yinghua let Yan Ziqing into Yan Shixiu’s office, only to see her walk in, take a seat in the sofa area, and say, “I can’t believe that my elder brother would treat an eighteenth-tier small artist better than his own sister. Could it be that, beloved elder brother, as long as soone is against , you will support her?”
“Elder brother, who are you relying on for your success today? If it weren’t for our parents sending you to that banquet…”
“So why did you give up the opportunity to attend that banquet in the first place?” Yan Shixiu countered.
Yan Ziqing was left speechless.
From Yan Shixiu’s words, it indicated that he might have overheard the conversation between her and their mother back then.
“If you had gone to the banquet back then, perhaps the situation today would be reversed, wouldn’t it?”
Yan Ziqing’s questioning attitude wavered with a hint of guilt.
“But I am still your sister in the end…”
“The mont you sold out, you were no longer my sister,” Yan Shixiu stated calmly, “Before that, I had already discussed with the professors at the research institute about returning ho to run the Yan Family business and to help our father through tough tis. But you, one unwilling to relinquish power and the other unwilling to sacrifice, only wanted shortcuts. Therefore, Yan Ziqing, do not talk to about gratitude. The fact that you’re even standing here is my greatest act of grace. If you co again to endlessly waste my ti, I won’t hesitate to talk to you about the grievances I’ve noted down—the hatred!”
After listening to Yan Shixiu’s words, Yan Ziqing’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
So many years had passed, he had known about the matter all along.
No wonder the caring and loving elder brother of the past years no longer existed. She had always thought it was because Shi Lan had taken her brother away, but now…
Her scalp tingled.
“Yinghua, see the guest out, and in the future, when this Miss Yan cos over, follow the procedures. Anyone who gives her special privileges to co up here again is to be dismissed imdiately.”
“At ho you’re my elder brother, and I, your sister. Shouldn’t you protect ? As mom and dad are getting old, it’s naturally your responsibility to look after the family. I believe I’m in the right.”
Yan Shixiu had no interest in listening to any more of Yan Ziqing’s nonsense and simply looked up at Xun Yinghua.
It was also the first ti Xun Yinghua witnessed a full argunt between the siblings and the first ti he realized what Yan Shixiu truly ant to the Yan Family mbers. Thus, his voice was cold as he said, “Miss Yan, please leave.”
“Who do you think you are to speak to like this?”
“I used to speak up for you in front of Boss Yan, because I thought you were his family. But from this mont on, I will no longer be polite to you. What kind of sister are you? What sort of family mber? In your eyes, betraying your own brother is justified, and leeching off him is natural, right? Get out, right now.” Xun Yinghua dragged Yan Ziqing out of Yan Shixiu’s office.
A few minutes later, Xun Yinghua returned to Yan Shixiu’s office and said, “Boss Yan, I really didn’t know before.”
Yan Shixiu ignored him.
“I won’t let her co near you ever again. What kind of person is she?”
…
After being kicked out of Shuangshi, Yan Ziqing realized that she had acted impulsively again.
Her visit today was not only to confront Yan Shixiu about why he had Huahai help An Lan but also to have Yan Shixiu attend her banquet. After last night’s embarrassnt at Tianwang, if Yan Shixiu also didn’t show up at her banquet, how could she continue to hold her ground in the entertainnt circle?
Thinking of this, Yan Ziqing took a deep breath. At this mont, she could only place her hopes on her mother, because if there was one person in the Yan Family who could persuade Yan Shixiu, it would only be her mother.
So, after returning to Tianwang Entertainnt, she made a phone call to Yan’s mother.
After listening, Yan’s mother sighed and said, “Your older brother has beco distant from us, and he may not be willing to listen to now. Do you really need your brother to attend?”
“Mom, people in the industry are laughing at , so I need my big brother to show his support for .”
After so thought, Yan’s mother eventually agreed, “I can only try.”
“Thank you, Mom. I’ll wait for your good news.”
It had been a long ti since Yan’s mother had a private conversation with her son. The first thing she said when she called Yan Shixiu was to ask if he had ti for Yan Ziqing’s cocktail party, “Shi Xiu, Mom knows she hasn’t done right by you these years, but you are always Ziqing’s big brother. When Ziqing is wronged outside, you as her older brother should stand up for her. I’m begging you, can you make it to the party?”
Yan Shixiu had long given up any expectations for the Yan family mbers and simply said, “I have a busy schedule that day and can’t get away, but I will have Huahai prepare a statent.”
However, the content of this statent would not be what the Yan family hoped, because he would never acknowledge the identity of Yan Ziqing and Tianwang Entertainnt.
But Yan’s mother thought Yan Shixiu had agreed to help Yan Ziqing, so she breathed a sigh of relief, “That will do, help your sister out.”
With just a few words, the mother and son ended the call.
At this ti, Xun Yinghua, who was there to report on work, had not yet left Yan Shixiu’s office.
Upon learning that Yan’s mother had called to plead on behalf of Yan Ziqing, she almost laughed out loud in disbelief.
“How shaless can you get?”
Just a while ago, Yan Ziqing was in the office, questioning her brother with such arrogance, and after returning, she had her mother co over to ask for favors. There really were such shaless family mbers in the world.
It turns out that in this world, the only person willing to give up her pri years, forgo her career, not care about status or consequences, and help and understand Yan Shixiu was An Lan.
Xun Yinghua also understood why Yan Shixiu could register to marry her in such a short ti of their acquaintance.
As Yan Shixiu’s family, the Yan family mbers are always thinking about power and wealth.
But An Lan was different; she was willing to stay behind the scenes, helping Yan Shixiu to consolidate his business and expand new territories.
“Mr. Yan, when the ti cos, I’ll make sure Huahai drafts an exceptionally brilliant statent.”
“Hmm.” Yan Shixiu remained calm throughout, as he had grown accustod to it.
After Xun Yinghua left Yan Shixiu’s office, she made a brief report to Shi Lan. It was supposed to be a day of great joy for the newlyweds, but Yan Shixiu had to deal with that heartless Yan family one after the other, and it was really infuriating to see.
They had anticipated this the night before.
Yan Shixiu absorbed all of Yan Ziqing’s firepower to prevent her from being troubled.
But how could she bear to see Uncle Yan’s heart riddled with a thousand holes?
…
On the other side, Yan’s mother relayed the conversation with Yan Shixiu to Yan Ziqing, and assured her, “Your big brother said that he will have Huahai issue a statent that day. Then, no one will look down on you anymore.”
