Marriage Seduction Addiction

"You're siding with him?" Old Master Yan finally looked at him properly. "Who are you? Do you think I don't know you? I've watched you grow up. If you're willing to side with him, then you're not Yan Fengqi."

"Sigh," Yan Fengqi sighed, "I really can't hide anything from Grandpa. But Grandpa, there are always exceptions—"

"What exception?"

Yan Fengqi pushed up his glasses and chuckled softly. "He is the heir carefully selected and groomed by Grandpa, while I am the abandoned son of Grandpa's landlord. Grandpa values ​​him and looks down on me. In Grandpa's eyes, there is probably a world of difference between us. Yet this person, whom Grandpa values ​​so highly, actually took the initiative to shake hands and make peace with me, all for the purpose of dealing with you, Grandpa. I can hardly imagine how angry you would be if you knew the truth. To be honest, this reason alone is enough to convince me."

Old Master Yan's face was already unpleasant, and upon hearing Yan Fengqi's words, a fierce aura seemed to emanate from every wrinkle on his face.

"Do you really think you can accomplish anything by joining forces?"

Yan Fengqi chuckled again, slightly raising his chin to look at Old Master Yan, and said, "We never thought about accomplishing anything. According to his purpose, he couldn't accomplish anything, so isn't that right? Look at what the Yan family has become under his control. The reputation of the Yan family has been almost ruined by his matricide... Grandpa, this good grandson you value most has never thought about accomplishing anything! Oh, not really. Perhaps the only thing he wants to accomplish is to let Grandpa watch the people and things you are most proud of and care about fall from the clouds, be trampled into the mud, be cursed by the whole world, and eventually be worn away—coincidentally, I also want to see that."

After slowly uttering the last few words, Yan Fengqi carefully examined Old Master Yan's expression before slowly standing up and preparing to leave.

Just as he reached the door, Old Master Yan spoke up again: "So, Yan Yi has already sided with him all along?"

Yan Fengqi didn't turn around, but said, "Isn't it obvious? He even helped Yan Yi take care of the child. Yan Yi probably sided with him much earlier than I did. Come to think of it, they really are a bunch of heartless ingrates. If there's a chance later, perhaps we should really get tested together to see if the Yan family bloodline you inherited from, Grandpa, carries this kind of gene—"

After saying this, Yan Fengqi chuckled again, then opened the door. After meeting the gloomy gaze of Butler Li outside the door, he raised an eyebrow slightly and went straight downstairs.

The remaining housekeeper, Li, stood at the door, watching Old Master Yan's body trembling slightly inside the room, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Yan Fengqi quickly went downstairs and walked out of the main building. Looking at Yan Shiyu, who was still sitting on the corridor, he leaned against the door and said, "The reporters outside are almost besieging the Yan family, but you are so leisurely that you can sit here and drink tea."

"What do I care about what others do?" Yan Shiyu said.

Yan Fengqi glanced at him, then quickly said, "What about Tang Xu and your sister? Are they no longer your concern? The old man is trying to get his hands on them. Although he seems like a toothless tiger now, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone him. You'd better be careful."

"Thank you for reminding me," Yan Shiyu said calmly.

Seeing this, Yan Fengqi just chuckled and, too lazy to say anything more, walked straight down the steps, got into his car, and left.

Although the two had reached a consensus on certain issues, that consensus stemmed solely from the Yan family and Old Master Yan. Despite their blood ties, their alliance was merely based on mutual interests, with no further connection whatsoever.

It was already extremely difficult for Yan Fengqi to even think of reminding him.

Not long after Yan Fengqi left, another person walked out of the gate; it was Steward Li.

Butler Li has worked for the Yan family for decades, and is extremely loyal to Old Master Yan. At the same time, his thoughts are extremely compatible with Old Master Yan's. Therefore, over the years he has managed the Yan family in a way that perfectly suits Old Master Yan's wishes, and is a person who is completely on Old Master Yan's side.

Yan Shiyu noticed his approach but didn't even glance at him.

Butler Li stood in front of him and spoke bluntly: "How could you do such a thing? Have you forgotten the days when you were starving and freezing in that rural area, rolling in the mud every day? Have you forgotten who rescued you from that quagmire? The old man has been strict with you all these years, but that strictness is because he has high hopes for you. He hopes you can succeed and continue the glory of the Yan family—he is the greatest benefactor in your life! Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, if it weren't for Old Master Yan, what kind of life would you be living now?"

After he finished speaking, Yan Shiyu remained unmoved.

Butler Li continued, "As for your mother's death, that was your own choice, not something he forced you to do. Besides, she was already terminally ill at that time. Wasn't that a relief for her? How can you blame the old man for this?"

Yan Shiyu finally turned to look at him, her expression unwavering. "When did I ever pin this on him? From beginning to end, it was all my fault. All the online storms were directed at me, weren't they?"

“You know perfectly well that you are the embodiment of all of Old Master Yan’s hard work! You destroyed yourself with your own hands just to destroy the embodiment of Old Master Yan’s hard work! How could you be so ruthless! Everything he did was in the hope that you could become a qualified heir of the Yan family.”

"Including that car accident, right?" Yan Shiyu turned to look at him.

Butler Li's expression suddenly froze, as if he had been stunned for a moment, before he asked again, "What did you say?"

Seeing his reaction, Yan Shiyu curled his lips into a smile. "It seems you were involved. Well, you manage the entire Yan family, so it's not surprising that the food I ate that night passed through your hands."

"You got into a car accident yourself, and you're blaming the old man for it?" Butler Li said angrily.

“That’s right, I’m going to hold him responsible.” Yan Shiyu said slowly, “I imagine you were all quite disappointed that I didn’t kill anyone that night, right? After all, you set up this scheme to make me commit another major crime so you could completely control the rest of my life. But things didn’t go as planned.” (End of Chapter)
