Chapter 86-87

Chapter 86: The Yan Corporation Changed Hands ... She had seen Yan Jinyu make a move. She couldn’t deny that she despised what her mother had done. But no matter what, she was still her mother. She was also Yan Jinyu’s mother. She was afraid that Yan Jinyu wouldn’t be able to hold back and would be labeled as a mother killer. She was more afraid of the family turning against one other. “Sister…” Everyone looked at Yan Jinyu, including Yin Jiujin, who was holding her hand. Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu’s beautiful eyes that were smiling. His black eyes suddenly became more obscure, and he instinctively held her hand tightly. He did not interrupt. Seeing this, Min Ting looked at Yan Jinyu with his almond-shaped eyes. This Miss Yan was indeed not simple. Just a simple sentence made him feel a chill in his heart. 　 　 Yan Jinyu naturally sensed everyone’s surprised gazes, especially Yin Jiujin’s appraisal. With her sharp senses, she had already sensed it at the first moment. It was just that she didn’t take it to heart. She smiled at Yan Jinyun. “Don’t worry.” She was angry, but not to the point of losing her mind. She was now the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, and she was still engaged to Yin Jiujin. Of course, she wouldn’t do anything that would harm her reputation. Besides, they were related by blood. If they treated her badly, she could not really kill them. Although she had killed countless people, she still had her bottom line. Of course, the premise was that they were not too much for her to tolerate. She looked at Fu Ya with smiling eyes. “Mom seems to like to make her presence known? Oh, no, I should say that Mom doesn’t seem to have a good memory?” Fu Ya and Yan Qingyu were both shocked to see Yan Jinyu like this. They did not know what she was going to do, but for some reason, they felt that what she said next would definitely make them regret it! What did she mean by not having a good memory? This was Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya’s doubts, as well as everyone else’s. Had Yan Jinyu already taught them a lesson before this? 　 　 Others might not know, but Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya remembered. Yan Jinyu was really not to be trifled with. During this period of time, they had avoided her and tried their best not to bump into her! But today… “I originally thought that since you guys gave birth to me and the Yan Family was valued by my grandparents, it was very likely that they would hand it to Yun’er in the future. I’ll leave you guys some face and preserve the Yan Family’s face. For this, I’m prepared to leave quietly. Why can’t Mom be more docile?” “Could it be that in Mom’s eyes, I’m very stupid and easy to bully? I think Mom, you might have gotten something wrong. I don’t want the Yan Corporation’s shares. It’s me who doesn’t want them. It’s not that I can’t afford to! As long as I want to, the Yan Corporation will change hands in no time. Mom, do you believe me?” She smiled at Yan Qingyu, whose expression had changed drastically. “How about Dad? Do you believe me?” “From your expressions, I think you believe me.” “Hey, you guys are so timid. I’m lying to you. I’m not that capable!” Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were speechless. “…” Everyone. Initially, they were shocked. They did not expect such a turn of events. Now, they were not sure which of her words were true. Huo Siyu smiled. Beauty Yu was really… Well done! “However, regardless of whether I have the ability or not, since it’s the shares that Grandmother left for me, I can give it to whoever I want. I don’t like others to dictate my decisions.” When she thought of Yan Jinyun’s almost crying look just now, she almost couldn’t control her temper. “I want to give the shares to Yun’er, but she only can decide if she wants it herself. Mom, don’t interrupt anymore. Otherwise, if I’m in a bad mood, I might immediately sign the equity transfer agreement and then hand it over to someone else. I believe there are many people in North City who want the Yan Corporation’s shares. Oh, I forgot to mention that it seems to be 13% of the Yan Corporation’s shares. It’s not a small amount.” Fu Ya was so angry that she was speechless. No, she did not dare to speak. She was afraid that she would anger this brat and she would really give her shares away. Look at the people present, many of their eyes were waiting with glowing eyes! 　 　 After Yan Jinyu finished speaking, she looked at Yan Jinyun and smiled. “Yun’er, I’m saying this for you to hear. Do you understand what I mean? If you don’t want these shares, I’ll give them to someone else. When you take over the Yan Corporation, you’ll have a headache with so many shares in the hands of outsiders. Don’t have any hopes of getting lucky. I’ve always been a person who keeps my word.” “You… Are you threatening me?!” Yan Jinyun was angry. Why was she behaving like this? She didn’t want the shares and yet, she was forcing her to take them! Yan Jinyu knew that it was impossible for her to watch the Yan Corporation’s shares fall into the hands of outsiders! Yan Jinyu shrugged. “If you think it’s a threat, then so be it. I’ll only ask you one thing now. Do you want the shares?” Yan Jinyun gritted her teeth and glared at her. “Yes!” “That’s right. Don’t look like I’m forcing you into prostitution. Be happy. This is 13% of the Yan Corporation’s shares. Many people are thinking about it.” “…” Fu Ya, who was thinking about the shares. This brat had scolded her indirectly! It had to be said that Fu Ya was really thinking too much. Yan Jinyu didn’t have the mood to scold her indirectly. Yan Jinyu usually couldn’t be bothered to scold people, but once she wanted to scold someone, she wouldn’t beat around the bush. She would scold them directly. “Don’t feel so burdened. Just take it as my second birthday present for you. Just accept it.” Yan Jinyun stared at her for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, “…Thank you!” What else could she do? Did she have to watch as the shares fell into the hands of an outsider? 　 　 “I forgot to remind Dad and Mom. Since it’s my birthday gift to Yun’er, as elders, you can’t snatch it away. Yun’er is already 18 years old. She’s already past the age where she has to pass her presents and birthday money to her parents. Besides, if word gets out that you are coveting your biological daughter’s things, it won’t be good for your reputation.” Yan Qingyu: “…What nonsense are you talking about! Are Mom and Dad that kind of person?! Since you don’t want it and Yun’er is willing to accept it, Mom and Dad will only be happy that you two sisters are close. We don’t care about anything else!” Fu Ya said nothing. No matter what, the shares were finally in Yun’er’s hands. They were getting what they wanted. Even though the process was extremely stifling. “It’s naturally best if Dad and Mom think that way.” Then, Yan Jinyu said, “Speaking of which, I’m actually not worried that Dad and Mom will have any ideas about those shares. The Empire Group’s headquarters is still in North City. Brother Nine and I will stay in North City for a long time. With Brother Nine helping me look after them, Dad and Mom won’t dare to have any thoughts.” “…” Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya. So if that’s the case, why did you say all that nonsense just now?!? It’s not like they were stupid enough to offend Master Nine! Now, how could they not understand what Master Nine felt about this brat! Not to mention Master Nine’s protection, even without Master Nine, this brat was obviously not someone to be trifled with! Seeing that the two of them had been forced to such a state by Yan Jinyu, Yan Ruyu sighed as she tried hard to suppress the corners of her lips that were about to curve up unconsciously. She coughed dryly and said, “Since Yu’er wants to give the shares to Yun’er, Auntie can’t persuade you too much.” With her perception, seeing Yu’er like this, how could she still think that she was really someone who grew up in an orphanage in a small town and couldn’t take care of herself when she returned to North City? Putting everything else aside, just based on Yu’er’s bearing and a few smiling words, she would be able to intimidate her brother and sister-in-law. Her future should not be too bad either. Furthermore, Yu’er had Yin Jiujin protecting her. However, seeing Yu’er like this, she had also settled one of her worries. They had rushed back because they had received Uncle Yan Xin’s call and learned that Yu’er had returned to the Yan Family. They were worried that she would be bullied. Once this was over, she might not be able to come back ever again. “Since everyone is here, I’ll hand over the rest as well.” When Yan Ruyu said that, everyone looked at her. Most of them were there to watch the show. In comparison, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were not so relaxed. They tensed up and prayed that Yan Ruyu would not say anything that would harm their interests. 　 　 “Your grandmother gave 13% of her shares to Yu’er in the Yan Corporation. Your grandfather naturally left the same shares for Yun’er too. The two elders have the same kind of love for you and your sister. They didn’t favor one over the other.” Yan Ruyu was actually saying this for Yan Jinyun’s sake. After all, Yan Jinyun had always felt that the two elders were biased. Of course, Fu Ya must have contributed to Yan Jinyun’s prejudice. Indeed, once Yan Ruyu said that, Yan Jinyun’s expression couldn’t help but become complicated. Yan Ruyu glanced at her and continued, “The two elders mean that I can transfer the shares to you two when you’re 18 years old. Since Yu’er’s shares were given to Yun’er, Yun’er has 26% of the shares now.” She looked at the livid Yan Qingyu. “If I remember correctly, Brother has 30% of the Yan Corporation’s shares, right?” “I still have 20%.” The Yan Corporation was considered a family business, and the shares were mostly in the hands of the Yan Family. “I have my own job. My salary is enough to support the family. Our family doesn’t spend much money. Moreover, we stay overseas all year round. If anything happens to the Yan Corporation, we won’t be able to rush back in time to help. So, I’ve decided to give Yun’er 10% of my shares. I’ll leave the remaining 10% to Yu Xiao. If Yu Xiao is going to be useless in the future, with the Yan Corporation’s shares, he won’t starve to death.” Yu Xiao’s lips twitched. Why did she have to insult him? Mother! Yan Ruyu’s last words were a bit humorous, but at that moment, who still had the mood to care if her words were humorous? 26% plus 10%, Yan Jinyun had 36% of the Yan Corporation’s shares. She had 6% more than Yan Qingyu, the chairman of the Yan Corporation! Clearly, Yan Ruyu, who still had 10% shares, was on Yan Jinyun’s side. In other words, if the Yan Corporation had another 5% shareholder supporting Yan Jinyun, it meant that the Yan Corporation was about to change hands! This was not only a big matter for the Yan Family but also a big matter for the entire North City! Everyone gasped when they realized that. This news was humongous! *** Chapter 87: What’s Yours Is Mine ... “How can that be?” Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya said in unison. Yan Jinyun initially thought that it was impossible. In her opinion, even without Yan Ruyu’s 10% shares, the Yan Family would still be hers sooner or later. It was not because of her identity as the successor, but because she had the confidence to completely control the Yan Family. However, after seeing Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya’s tacit excitement, she retracted her rejection. There was hurt and determination in her eyes. She didn’t say anything but looked at Yan Jinyu. Others didn’t understand what Yan Jinyun meant, but Yan Jinyu did. Yan Jinyun was asking her. Yan Jinyu chuckled and said, “Since it’s Aunt’s token of appreciation, Yun’er will accept it.” She looked at Yan Ruyu. “However, we can’t let Auntie suffer a loss either. I’ll buy the 10% shares that Auntie gave Yun’er according to the market price and I’ll leave the details to the lawyer. What do you think, Auntie?” We… Yan Jinyun pursed her lips in silence. Yan Ruyu stared at Yan Jinyu without any response. Yan Jinyu smiled. “Auntie, don’t worry. I can still fork out this bit of money. Even if I can’t, isn’t Brother Nine here? I can borrow it from him too.” She looked up at Yin Jiujin, who had been staring at her, and asked with a smile, “Brother Nine, you’ll lend me money, right?” 　 　 Staring at her smiling face, Yin Jiujin’s eyes flickered slightly as he pinched her fingertips. “I’ll take care of you in the future.” Yan Jinyu’s expression froze slightly. She didn’t know why, but after hearing his words, her heart seemed to suddenly beat faster. However, her emotions were quickly controlled by her. She blinked and asked, “Brother Nine, you mean that if I want to use money in the future, I can only ask you for it? It’s not a loan?” Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but raise his other hand and poke her forehead with his index finger. “Silly.” Then, he said, “You’re my fiancée. You’ll be my wife in the future. Besides, didn’t you just say yesterday that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me? Don’t you understand the meaning of a lifetime?” Yan Jinyu rubbed her forehead in a daze. “I understand. Why don’t I?” “Then tell me, what does that mean?” “That means whatever’s yours is mine too. Hehe, Brother Nine, am I right?” “…it means we don’t have to separate our belongings so distinctively.” “Isn’t it the same? What’s yours is mine. It’s just that there’s no distinction between us!” “…” Yin Jiujin. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with that. Yan Jinyu chuckled again, looking especially silly. Huo Siyu, who was at the side, couldn’t bear to look at her. 　 　 She really wanted to shout,?Beauty Yu, are you someone who lacks that bit of money? Wake up! Yan Jinyu didn’t care if she was smiling foolishly. She only knew that she was very happy now. There was actually such a person in this world who did not know her background and clearly had doubts about her. Not only did he not check on her or ask her about it, he even indulged her so much. How could she not be happy? Because she was happy, she looked at Yan Ruyu again with an even brighter smile than before. “Aunt, you also saw that I don’t lack money, so this matter is settled.” Yan Ruyu was dazzled by her smile. Then, she sighed, “Since you’ve said so, let’s do as you say.” It was hard to say now. It would be troublesome if Yu Xiao made a fuss about it when he grew up. She might as well settle the score now. Even though the possibility of Yu Xiao becoming insensible and harassing her with these shares was very small. “The Yan Corporation will hold a shareholder’s meeting tomorrow morning. I’ll have to trouble Aunt to come personally,” Yan Jinyun said. Yan Ruyu looked over. Yan Jinyun didn’t avoid her gaze. She maintained her posture as the top socialite in North City and said without changing her expression, “Yun’er thanks Auntie for the shares.” It seemed like Yun’er was confident that there were people in the Yan Corporation supporting her. She was someone who could control the situation. It was better for the Yan Family to be handed to her than to her father. Yan Ruyu nodded in satisfaction. 　 　 “You don’t have to thank me. I sold it at an explicit price. Let me know when the meeting is. I’ll be there on time.” “Alright, thank you, Auntie.” “Yun… Yun’er, what are you doing?!” Fu Ya was the first to shout out in anger. Yan Qingyu was so angry that he couldn’t speak properly. In other words, with Yin Jiujin standing beside Yan Jinyu at such an occasion, the situation would only be worse if he spoke. “What does Mom think I’m going to do? Speaking of which, I’m the Yan Family’s heir to begin with. The Yan Corporation will be mine sooner or later. What’s the big deal about it being earlier or later? Mom, don’t worry. Even if I become the head of the Yan Family in the future, I’ll still give you your allowance as usual. You can go out to play cards and shop like before.” “How can it be the same?!” When her husband was in charge, she had always been the wife of the head. When her daughter was in charge, she was considered the mother of the head of the household for the time being. But after her daughter got married? Could it be that she had to find a live-in son-in-law?! The daughter she raised was naturally married to an outstanding man. There was no way an outstanding man was willing to become a live-in son-in-law! Besides, if her husband was forced to abdicate by her biological daughter, she would definitely become a laughing stock in North City! All the wealthy ladies she knew envied her for having a husband who loved her, a sensible and outstanding daughter, and a harmonious family. If her daughter fell out with her husband and even became enemies, she would lose a lot of face! Obviously, Fu Ya had never thought that when she encouraged Yan Jinyun to marry into the Yin Family, Yin Jiujin would never become their live-in son-in-law. 　 　 Yan Jinyun hid the emotions in her eyes and said calmly, “How is it different? Does Mom think that I’m an ingrate who won’t care about you after taking over the Yan Corporation?” “Even if I really inherited the coldness in your bones and don’t care about you, doesn’t my father still have 30% of the Yan Corporation’s shares? The annual dividend is not a small sum. It’s enough for you and my father to retire.” Yan Jinyun’s words were actually a little spiteful. She had never thought of seizing power so quickly. After all, she was only 18 years old and had a long life ahead of her. She did not intend to take her aunt’s 10% shares, but their reaction was so strong as if she was not their daughter but their enemy. Hence, she did not want to go according to their wishes. “You! You! You…” Fu Ya almost fainted from anger. However, she didn’t faint because Yan Jinyu’s words had diverted her attention. “Since we’ve made things clear, I’ll have to trouble Aunt for the rest. I’ll be leaving first.” Lin Zimu had already brought her luggage down. Yan Ruyu was silent. Her throat felt a little choked up again. After a while, she nodded. “Alright, go ahead.” She looked at Yin Jiujin. “I’ll have to trouble Master Nine to take care of Yu’er in the future.” Yin Jiujin glanced at her and nodded. “Yes.” However, no one felt that his attitude was bad. This was because most of the people present wouldn’t even get a look from Yin Jiujin, let alone a nod and response. Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu’s hand and turned to walk out of the small courtyard. As soon as they turned around, they saw the old man who appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard. “Miss Yu.” The old man held his walking stick and said with a choked up voice. Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and restrained the emotions in her eyes. She smiled and called out, “Grandpa Xin.” “Miss Yu, are you… leaving the Yan Family? You only came back after 16 years. Are you leaving after staying for only two months?” “…Not really. I’ll be staying in North City for a long time. Even if I leave North City in the future, I’ll be able to get through to you on the phone. You won’t be unable to find me like you used to, so you don’t have to worry, Grandpa Xin.” The old man’s body trembled as he held his walking stick. “Yes, it won’t be like before. That’s good, that’s good…” Although he was an elder of the Yan Family, he was only a servant after all. He could not take charge of the family’s matters after all. Therefore, even if he heard about Miss Yu’s situation in the Yan Family these few days, he could only try his best to force himself not to ask about it. He thought that no matter how much Young Master and Young Madam disliked Miss Yu, they were still Miss Yu’s parents after all. At least, they wouldn’t treat Miss Yu too harshly. At least, it was better for Miss Yu to stay in the Yan Family than to suffer outside. Who knew that they… 　 　 He had wanted to take advantage of the two young ladies’ coming-of-age ceremony to join in the fun, but instead, he had witnessed such a scene. Young Master had long gone astray. He knew it from the moment Young Master disregarded Old Master and Madam’s wishes to marry this Young Madam. However, he did not expect Young Master to be so far gone. Yan Jinyu felt a little stifled, and the smile on her face didn’t look as natural as before. Yin Jiujin pinched her palm as a form of consolation. Then, he looked up at Yan Xin, “Little Yu will live with me in Mount Jing in the future. If you want to see her, you can go to Mount Jing to look for her directly.” To Mount Jing… This was not a privilege that anyone could receive. Even Min Ting, who had a good relationship with Yin Jiujin, had only stepped foot into Mount Jing once! The way everyone looked at the old man instantly changed. The young people did not know Yan Xin, but the older ones did. However, after so many years, Yan Qingyu had long changed the Yan Family’s head. They thought that Yan Xin, the Yan Family’s former butler, no longer had any status in the Yan Family. They didn’t expect Master Nine to treat him so politely… Master Nine’s attitude towards the old man was probably mostly because of Eldest Miss Yan. After the series of events just now, they no longer felt that Eldest Miss Yan was a simple person. Although they couldn’t understand why a person who grew up in a remote orphanage could have such courage, no matter what, they couldn’t deny that they wouldn’t underestimate Eldest Miss Yan anymore. Moreover, she had Master Nine backing her up. Since Yan Xin was someone Eldest Miss Yan treated with respect, they naturally didn’t dare to underestimate him. “You…” Yan Xin looked at Yin Jiujin.” You’re the Yin Family’s Second Young Master, right? “Very few people dared to address Yin Jiujin as “you ” now. Most of them addressed him with honorifics. This discovery made everyone realize Yan Xin’s importance even more clearly. Yin Jiujin nodded slightly. Yan Xin smiled kindly, “I’ve always wanted to thank you in person. Thank you for bringing Miss Yu back.” “You’re being too polite. Little Yu is my fiancée. It’s what I should do.” He was very glad that he had done that back then. Otherwise, the girl would not be held in his hand like she was now. She would still be in some unknown corner of the world.
