When Yan Jin came back home, Yan Lun had already known that he had gone out.
Yan Lun sent a servant to call him over.
Yan Jin came to him as requested.
Yan Lun looked at him seriously, “Where did you go?”
“I went to a friend.”
He was lying. Yan Lun knocked on the floor with a crutch, giving Yan Jin a thrill of horror.
Yan Lun looked at him with a gloomy look, “When did you make friends with that vixen from the Song Family?”
“The vixen?”
“That she is.”
Yan Jin was confused, but Yan Lun looked serious. He knocked on the floor with the crutch hard and said, “Don’t play dumb in front of me. I know you were with Song Yunxuan this afternoon.”
Yan Lun had no favorable feeling of Song Yunxuan.
He was mad when he learned that his grandson went to Song Yunxuan.
Yan Jin made no secret of the fact that he went to Song Yunxuan, “I did meet her this afternoon.”
Yan Lun’s eyes narrowed, looking at Yan Jin crossly, “Tell me, why did you meet her?”
Yan Jin pursed his lips and seemed to be worried about his grandfather being harsh on him. He said in a low voice, “Grandpa, I did it for you.”
Yan Lun’s eyes widened angrily, “We’ve stayed out of the way of the Song Family. It’s nonsense for you to meet Song Yunxuan for my good.”
Yan Lun knew what Song Yunxuan was. He also knew that she had recently fought against Shao Tianze.
Yet he didn’t want to get involved.
To his surprise, his grandson knocked on Song Yunxuan’s door when he stood by.
He was mad at it.
If Shao Tianze knew Yan Jin went to Song Yunxuan, he would deem that the Yan Family had been on Song Yunxuan’s side.
This would do the Yan Family no favors.
He was not happy about his grandson making trouble for their family.
Yan Lun pursed his lips and said to Yan Jin, “You should know. It won’t do any good to our family.”
“Grandpa, do you mean I went to Song Yunxuan?”
Yan Jin looked closely at Yan Lun’s eyes.
Yan Lun had a great deal of life experience. Although his eyes were muddy because of illness, he could see through a person right away.
“Betting on Song Yunxuan at risk is not worth it.”
Yan Jin pursed his lips slightly, “Grandpa, what do you mean?”
Yan Lun dropped the last veil, “I mean, if you want to be in charge of our family, I can let it happen.”
Hearing these words, Yan Jin’s eyes narrowed with a spark.
He did want that.
As the only legal successor of the Yan Family, he had no brothers to compete for an inheritance, but some relatives had always expected to get a slice of the cake.
He did not want to give financial help to any distant relatives who were not in use to him at all.
He pondered for a second and said as if he had figured out Yan Lun was lying, “Grandpa, it’s not like that. I didn’t go to her because I want to take over anything from you.”
Yan Lun knew these were just pretty words.
Looking back at Yan Jin’s upbringing, he had not exactly been a good grandfather.
But his health got worse and worse recently. Yan Jin was his only choice to be his heir.
He had to let him be in charge of the family one day.
Yan Lun frowned slightly and said patiently, “Yan Jin, you’re my grandson. I’ll give everything to you. It’s not that you take it from me. I’m willing to give them to you.”
To reduce Yan Jin’s suspicion, Yan Lun continued, “You’re my only grandson. You’re my perfect heir. Even if you refuse, I’ll hand over everything to you anyway.”
“I understand, grandpa.”
Yan Jin said docilely and submissively.
Seeing Yan Jin being such meek, Yan Lun didn’t feel joy. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, “Good for you.”
“I know, Grandpa.”
Yan Jin listened carefully to whatever Yan Lun said.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Yan Lun to make Yan Jin talk.
Yan Lun knew it well.
After pondering for a while, Yan Lun said, “Since we’re now on the same page, I’ll let what you did today slide. You are my grandson, and we are family. You can share everything with me. Don’t hesitate if you have anything to tell me. Do you understand?”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I understand. I’ll be frank when it’s time.”
Yan Jin showed respect to his grandfather.
Yan Jin’s perfect behavior and nice attitude stopped Yan Lun from saying anything more. He nodded, “Good. I am feeling a bit under the weather. I’ll take some rest in my room.”
“Let me take you upstairs.”
Yan Jin offered to accompany Yan Lun upstairs.
Yan Lun waved his hand, “No, thanks. The nurse would do that. Didn’t you say that you want to visit the company? Why don’t you go do that?”
“Can I go?” Yan Jin asked him with a surprising look.
“Sonner or later it will be yours. Of course! You can go there whenever you want.”
Yan Lun seemed open-minded, “Go ahead. I’ll call Secretary Wang.”
After saying that, the nurse helped Yan Lun upstairs.
Yan Jin watched them behind.
Until they stepped into the lift, Yan Jin said gently, “What an old fox.”
He referred to Yan Lun.
Yan Lun did not allow Yan Jin to take over the Yan enterprise at first. He even did not allow him to go there.
Moreover, Secretary Wang, who worked in the Yan enterprise, was Yan Lun’s henchman.
As long as Yan Jin paid a visit to the Yan enterprise, Secretary Wang would certainly report everything to Yan Lun.
Yan Lun was angry once Yan Jin went to the company. He warned Yan Jin that it was the last time.
But his attitudes changed drastically after Yan Jin went to Song Yunxuan today.
Not only did he promise to let Yan Jin take over the whole family, but he also called Secretary Wang to help Yan Jin to be familiar with the Yan enterprise.
This was way too unusual.
Yan Jin slightly lowered his eyelash.
Long eyelashes covered his eyes.
…
Song Yunxuan went back to her office after Yan Jin left.
Mei Qi followed her.
When they were at the office, Song Yunxuan asked Mei Qi, “When did Yan Jin come?”
Mei Qi answered, “Half an hour before you come back.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes.
Seeing Song Yunxuan fall silent with lowered eyes, Mei Qi asked her, “Manager Song, is there any problem?”
Song Yunxuan shook her head, “No. I just have a feeling that he is so much fun.”
Mei Qi said, “Manager Song, have you heard a rumor that the Yan Family would never confide?”
“What is it?”
Song Yunxuan felt curious.
Song Yunxuan had forgotten the Yan Family’s history completely. She wouldn’t have recalled a thing if she hadn’t heard from Zang Linger.
Now Mei Qi talked about the rumors about the Yan Family.
She really didn’t know anything about it.
Mei Qi could tell it from Song Yunxuan’s look.
Mei Qi said, “Actually, many servants in the Yan Family believe Yan Lun’s daughter wasn’t Yan Jin’s birth mother.”
Song Yunxuan narrowed her eyes upon hearing it, “Is this a rumor?”
Mei Qi nodded, “It is.”
Song Yunxuan laughed and looked at Mei Qi, “Have you investigated it? Is it a ‘real’ rumor, or is it just a rumor?”
This question was somewhat complicated. Mei Qi twisted his eyebrows slightly and asked Song Yunxuan, “What do you mean, Manager Song?”
“In many cases, people spread rumors and listen to rumors too much. The rumors will become the truth. In some other cases, the truth may turn to be a rumor while spreading too much.”
Mei Qi understood. He asked Song Yunxuan, “Which one do you think it is?”
Song Yunxuan took a breath, “How do I know? It is the secret of the Yan Family, right? Assistant Mei.”
Mei Qi chuckled upon hearing her words, “Perhaps.”
Although Song Yunxuan did not admit it, she was clear that the rumor was true in her mind.
She knew why Yan Jin came here to meet her personally.
She could also predict how he would be treated when he was back in his family.
