Chapter 470: 470 but harming him, that’s not okay.
“The ugly things you’ve done remain a secret for now, but if you keep pushing your luck, that might not be the case anymore.”
“You!”
“Yan Shixiu, try to be a bit more polite, this is the Lian Family.” Lian Zhongjin couldn’t help but chi in to help.
“This place… is not the Lian Family anymore.” Yan Shixiu reminded Lian Zhongjin, “Just ten minutes ago, this place beca my Yan soone’s property.”
“You should at least consider the old lady’s sake.”
“It is precisely for the old lady’s sake that I haven’t exposed all these ssy scandals, keeping the outside world from knowing that the Lian Family has a facade of glitter, but is rotten within.” Yan Shixiu held Shi Lan’s hand, speaking calmly and with asured strength.
“You…”
This ti, Lian Yinseng couldn’t hold back anymore, he grabbed his wife and intended to leave, but they were stopped by Zhong Yide.
“Don’t rush off,” Zhong Yide said, “Yunlian indeed served your Lian Family for forty years, but she doesn’t owe you anything. If next ti, Mada Lian encounters Yunlian and still calls her a servant, I will release the video of the scene you caused at the art gallery, and then let’s see who will be embarrassed. No need for to spell it out, right?”
Mada Lian turned pale upon hearing this.
“You’re going too far!” Lian Yinseng stord off with his wife, and their children followed their parents out.
The once heated banquet hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
The old Mada Lian was stronger than imagined; even in such a situation, she didn’t fall ill or see her blood pressure rise.
“Yan Shixiu, aren’t you being a bit too harsh? The Lian Family hasn’t wronged you!” Lian Zhongjin said anxiously, “Even if my older brother did sothing inappropriate, it was out of concern for a nephew from an uncle.”
“Concerned about what?” Yan Shixiu imdiately countered.
Lian Zhongjin glanced at Shi Lan by Yan Shixiu’s side.
“I have no plans to return to your Lian Family, can you not be overly sentintal and self-righteous, thinking I need your concern? I do not need any of you to worry about my marriage, and my woman does not need any of you to acknowledge her.”
“When my wife gave up everything for , the Lian Family mbers couldn’t even muster the courage to acknowledge my mother. You so-called relatives that suddenly popped up, what right do you have to ddle in my life?”
“You don’t need relatives; you have your reputation, and that’s enough.”
After saying all this, Yan Shixiu gripped Shi Lan’s hand tighter.
“I didn’t an to make everyone uncomfortable, but it’s better to clear things up now than to harbor grudges later,” Yan Shixiu concluded, having already prepared to leave.
Nobody spoke, but at that mont, the old Mada Lian suddenly asked, “You just called grandma, do you really still acknowledge as your grandma?”
“Mom!” Lian Zhongjin hastily called to her, reminding her, “His purpose for coming is to embarrass us!”
“Apologies for speaking too harshly. I simply ca to make my stance clear, that is all,” Yan Shixiu reiterated his purpose.
Everyone looked at Yan Shixiu and his wife, then at Zhong Yide and his companion, knowing in their hearts that there were indeed significant problems with the Lian Family in recent years. They all lived under the oppression of Lian Yinseng, but no one had the courage to defy him.
“Since we’re not on the sa wavelength, An Lan and I have prepared a gift for you as an apology, and we will be departing now.”
“Shi Xiu…” The old Mada Lian hastened to call him back, her voice trembling, “Please sit a while longer, as your grandmother, I ask of you.”
Yan Shixiu, leading Shi Lan, didn’t hesitate or turn around: “I’m sorry, but that would be unfair to my wife.”
After saying that, the couple made to leave, but then Shi Lan tugged at him, and they stopped. Shi Lan addressed everyone present, “If possible, please let’s not contact each other again. The Yan Family mbers betrayed and hurt him, I think that’s already the biggest hell, don’t make the light he just saw at the exit dim again, it’s too cruel.”
“It doesn’t matter how you view . Even if your entire family despises , I won’t live to prove anything to you. But hurting him, that’s not acceptable.”
After finishing her speech, Shi Lan took Yan Shixiu’s hand.
Yan Shixiu smiled at her, then drew her into his embrace: “Let’s go ho.”
The couple, protective of each other, stood firm in their stance.
Yan Shixiu was there today to make his position clear to everyone, to show that when it cos to matters involving Shi Lan, he would not compromise one iota.
And with that, the couple left decisively.
“So cool.”
“That’s really too cool.”
“I like this cousin of mine.”
So of the younger mbers of the Lian Family whispered from a corner.
They had been enjoying the thrill from the mont Yan Shixiu confronted Lian Yinseng, and now with Yan Shixiu’s cool departure, he was enviably impressive.
The old lady was still sad, but Madam Chen consoled her: “Mada, don’t bla Shi Xiu. Take things slowly. Even if you don’t like him, I have to say, what Lian Yinseng did to Shi Xiu has crossed the boundaries expected of an elder.”
“That child has suffered a great deal. Along the way, it was Little An Lan who took care of him, understood him, and clung to him through thick and thin. Don’t bla him for his offense today, he has endured to his limits. If anyone tries to separate him from Little An Lan, they might as well take his life.”
“I understand now,” the old lady said, “I know all about it now, Yunlian, and you, too. I’m unaware that my oldest son has caused you trouble at his house as well.”
Madam Chen slightly turned to face the composed Zhong Yide beside her, “I have soone to stand up for now, so I don’t feel aggrieved.”
“I owe you an apology. Over the years, you’ve worked selflessly for the Lian Family, especially in my oldest son’s affairs, with all your heart and effort, but I didn’t expect my son to have no gratitude in his heart and instead made you suffer.” The old lady said while wiping her tears, “It’s my fault for not raising my son properly, all this is because of my indulgence.”
“Since Shi Xiu also ca to make a scene today, let take this opportunity with everyone here to say sothing. Lian Yinseng is your older brother and uncle, but he has no right to ddle in your lives, your work, your choices. Over the years, my inaction has caused you younger ones to suffer, hasn’t it?”
“From now on, whatever you want to do, don’t care about him or his feelings. Whatever you want, just do it. As long as I’m alive, I’ll stand by your side.”
“Second brother, fourth brother, I know the oldest wants you to abandon your jobs to help him in Yancheng, but I don’t agree. You don’t have to listen to this older brother of yours.”
“You also tell , what you truly feel in your hearts.”
“Mom, the older brother has his own difficulties as well,” Lian Zhongjin continued to speak on behalf of Lian Yinseng.
