Chapter 16: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
After calming down, Madam Yan thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think about me taking Lu Miaomiao as my goddaughter?"
Thinking about how Yan Chen's health had become weak before, she was furious and suspected that Lu Miaomiao was not just lustful, but wanted to harm Yan Chen.
However, Lu Miaomiao and Yan Chen had no grudges against each other, so there was no reason for her to harm Yan Chen for no reason.
She suspected that Lu Miaomiao was acting under someone's orders.
So she wanted to keep the person at home, which would make it easier to keep an eye on them without alerting them too much, and see if she could catch the mastermind behind it all.
However, she did not want to see Lu Miaomiao continue to harass Yan Chen by taking advantage of her status as Yan Chen's wife, so she wanted to temporarily take Lu Miaomiao as her goddaughter.
After Madam Yan finished speaking, she added meaningfully, "The old man is taking your cousin back to China."
Madam Yan had a good relationship with her husband, and her son was also quite outstanding. If there was anything that bothered her over the years, it was the relationship between the patriarch of the Yan family and his cousin, Yan Chen.
Originally, Yan Mingxuan had an older brother who was a painter of some renown. He was a womanizer and a staunch non-marriage advocate, spending his days wandering around. However, the old man doted on this son more.
However, at that time, the old lady was still alive, and the old man was not yet senile. He knew that his eldest son, Yan Mingli, could not keep the company, and Yan Mingli was unwilling to be bound by it. So he handed the company over to Yan Mingxuan to manage.
Of course, Yan Mingli wasn't treated unfairly either.
Yan Mingxuan is a capable man. Under his management, the company continues to grow, and Yan Mingli can continue to live the life he wants. Even if the old man has some favoritism towards Yan Mingli, it doesn't matter much.
If things could continue like this, that would be great.
However, just as Yan Chen was born, Yan Mingli had an accident and died.
The old lady was already in poor health, and after the shock, she fell seriously ill and has been living in the hospital ever since.
The old man was also greatly shocked. For some reason, he felt that Yan Chen had caused Yan Mingli's death.
Madam Yan was almost driven to her death by anger.
I've heard of people bringing misfortune to their fathers and mothers, but I've never heard of someone going beyond their parents to bring misfortune to their uncle!
However, the old man stubbornly believed that Yan Chen had caused Yan Mingli's death, so he always disliked this grandson.
Fortunately, Yan Mingxuan was clear-headed and protected his wife and children, so the old man didn't make them suffer too much.
After the old lady found out about this, she also gave the old man a good scolding, and the old man toned it down a bit.
Unfortunately, the old lady didn't last long and passed away.
The old man is getting more and more senile.
Even when Yan Mingxuan was in poor health and was preparing to hand over the company to Yan Chen, he strongly opposed it and wanted Yan Mingxuan to hand the company over to Yan Chen's cousin, Yan Xiu.
Speaking of Yan Xiu, Madam Yan felt that there was much to say.
Yan Mingli was not married; Yan Xiu was one of his girlfriends who was later sent back to the Yan family.
At that time, the old man had not yet recovered from the grief of losing his eldest son. Without even doing a DNA test, he directly identified him as Yan Mingli's son and doted on him.
However, Yan Mingxuan was not so confused. Despite the old man's objections, he insisted on having a DNA test done on Yan Xiu, which proved that Yan Xiu was not Yan Mingli's son at all.
Even so, the old man insisted on keeping him.
Yan Mingxuan assumed that the old man was so heartbroken by his elder brother's death that he transferred all his love for his brother onto the child. He thought it would be good for the old man to have some comfort, so he did not insist on sending the child away.
Who would have thought that the old man would eventually become so confused as to let him hand over the company to Yan Xiu!
This made Yan Mingxuan feel very unbelievable and very puzzled. Even if the old man was senile, he shouldn't have thought of handing the company over to an outsider!
No matter how much he dislikes Yan Chen, Yan Chen is still his own grandson!
Moreover, Yan Chen is outstanding in every aspect, and he is not the kind of spendthrift who would bankrupt the company.
Yan Mingxuan began to suspect that there might be something he didn't know, so he secretly investigated.
The investigation revealed that Yan Mingxuan, whose health was already poor, was so angry that he almost ended up in the hospital.
The old man doted on Yan Xiu so much because Yan Xiu's mother was the daughter of his first love!
Over the years, he not only doted on Yan Xiu to the core, but also secretly loved Yan Xiu's mother as if she were his own daughter.
Now they're even trying to snatch the company from their own grandson and hand it over to the grandson of their first love!
It's clear how much he still misses his first love, while he's probably long forgotten his wife who shared his joys and sorrows and worked tirelessly for the company.
Yan Mingxuan was filled with anger. How could the old man treat his mother like this?
He even suspected that the old man might have cheated on his wife back then.
That Yan Xiu was also very ambitious; he actually wanted to compete with Yan Chen for the family fortune.
Enraged, Yan Mingxuan swiftly forced Yan Xiu to slink away from the country without even needing Yan Chen to lift a finger.
The old man was so angry that he threatened to sever ties with him and eventually went abroad with Yan Xiu.
After that, the Yan family became quiet.
Now, the old man probably heard the news of Yan Chen's car accident and is itching to take Yan Xiu back to China.
Madam Yan suspected that Lu Miaomiao was orchestrated by them to ensure that Yan Chen would never wake up.
But thinking about it again, it seems a bit unreasonable.
If the old man had received news of Yan Chen's accident earlier, he should have taken Yan Xiu back to the country immediately and seized the company while Yan Chen was unconscious.
Since they've only just decided to come back, they must have just received the news.
However, it's certain that nothing good will come of the old man and Yan Xiu returning.
There was another reason why she wanted to take Lu Miaomiao as her goddaughter: she was afraid that when the old man returned, he would use this incident to target Yan Chen.
Whether you force Yan Chen to take responsibility or let him and Lu Miaomiao break up and then question his character, it will be quite disgusting.
If she takes Lu Miaomiao as her goddaughter first and resolves this matter, she can also prevent the old man from making a fuss about it again.
Yan Chen wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but then he heard Madam Yan mutter, "This matter needs to be handled quickly and in a grand manner. We also need to inform the Lu family first. Lu Quanyuan is a smart man, and I'm sure he won't object."
Yan Chen lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and refrained from further objection.
Madam Yan felt that she was the one who caused this trouble, so she wanted to resolve it as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for Yan Chen.
So she immediately went downstairs to talk to Lu Miaomiao about it.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but ask, "Yan Chen, can't you forget Yun Qing?"
Yan Chen gave an irrelevant answer, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with Yun Qing."
Madam Yan understood, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it.
When it comes to feelings, you can't just forget them.
However, she believed that Yan Chen knew what he was doing.
Not long after Madam Yan left, Yan Chen's phone rang.
He glanced at it and answered the call immediately.
On the other end of the phone, Yun Qing was a little stunned, never expecting him to answer. After a moment of hesitation, she asked softly, "Yan Chen, why haven't you replied to my messages? Are you alright? I'm so worried about you..."
Then she heard a cold laugh, and then the phone was hung up.
Yun Qing: ...Did Yan Chen answer her call just to give her a cold laugh?
