Yan Sijue's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but grip the cup in his hand tightly.
He wasn't a fool; of course, he understood what Old Sir Yan ant by those words. While the Mu Family wasn't a significant family, its special status gave it considerable influence in City A. Becoming the Mu Family's son-in-law ant gaining an extrely powerful support.
This was the real reason he was willing to marry Mu Yiliang. But what he didn't know was, his grandfather had the sa idea.
"Henceforth, all the underground casinos in the Southeast will be handed over to you to manage," Old Sir Yan dropped another bombshell, "Consider this your second chance."
The Yan Family had their hands in both legal and illegal enterprises, and almost all the underground casinos in the Southeast involved the Yan Family, with imnse profits, but they weren't easy to manage.
Yan Sijue slowly nodded: "I understand, thank you, Grandpa."
"I don't care what thods you use. In a year, I want to see progress. If you succeed, I'll give you more opportunities. If not, don't bla the old man for not standing up when your brothers bully you."
"I understand," Yan Sijue responded mildly, placing the teacup to his lips for a sip.
Upon hearing Old Sir Yan's arrangent, Mu Yiliang imdiately looked at Yan Sijue, but his face remained calm, as if none of this was unexpected.
What was he thinking at this mont? Mu Yiliang was genuinely curious. Unfortunately, this man showed no signs of his emotions.
Old Sir Yan, however, didn't care about what kind of reaction this grandson had. After finishing his words, he nodded: "Then go back. Spend this month with your wife."
"Alright." Yan Sijue respectfully nodded, put down the cup, and quietly left with Mu Yiliang.
"Congratulations..." Mu Yiliang said softly after they exited the study.
Yan Sijue suddenly smiled, a faint smile, and his eyes sparkled for a mont.
"I should thank you. If it weren't for you, who knows when such an opportunity would have co."
"Not really... Even without , Grandpa would have given you this chance sooner or later," Mu Yiliang said, lowering her head.
He simply smiled and said no more.
At that mont, only Yan Yaoting and Su Yan were downstairs, as Yan Haixiang and others had left since there was nothing more to watch.
But even Yan Yaoting and Su Yan seed a bit off.
Yan Yaoting was currently staring intently at Su Yan's face, with such a greedy and predatory look as if he wanted to devour her at any mont.
Mu Yiliang was startled. She initially thought Yan Yaoting was just montarily captivated by Su Yan's beauty, but now it seed evident that he had clear intentions towards Su Yan! That kind of look, as a beauty herself, Mu Yiliang was all too familiar with.
Su Yan, of course, was even more aware, yet she continued to smile lazily, still standing at the staircase, unconcerned with Yan Yaoting's gaze. Instead, Yan Sijue's appearance brightened her eyes.
"You're out? Did Old Sir Yan invite you to stay for a al?" Su Yan stretched out her slender arm, lightly resting her chin, making her appear even more alluring.
"Yiliang and I are going back to eat," Yan Sijue was indifferent to Su Yan's beauty, not even allowing his gaze to linger on her face for more than a second.
"Old Sir Yan really isn't accommodating... Do you want to say a few words on your behalf?" Su Yan blinked.
Only then did Yan Sijue look at her, slightly curling his lips: "I fear Grandpa isn't soone who easily changes his mind."
The implication was clear; even Su Yan didn't hold enough sway with Old Sir Yan.
Su Yan's expression darkened.
