Chapter 36

Unless someone else has a child.

With this in mind, Yan Wei looked up at the door and saw Shang Qiwen walking elegantly in a floor-length red dress.

Yan Wei narrowed his eyes slowly. She’s here in the Yan family? Before he left, his parents clearly didn’t like her, especially their unwillingness for her to have any contact with Yan Ye.

15% is not a small amount! And Grandfather also has many descendants. By transferring 15%, Grandfather himself is left with only 2%. What reason would make him decide to transfer the shares so quickly?

Unless this heir might already exist. And because of this share, his parents can tolerate someone they don’t like.

“Big Brother, you’re back?” It was Shang Qiwen who came out with a soft voice.

She looked at Yan Wei, touched her belly, and then looked up with a smile, saying to him, “Are you also here for Yan Ye’s birthday party?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes. Her hostility towards Yan Wei was too obvious…

“He is not your big brother.”

Amidst the noisy commotion, Yan Wei’s words rang out like a thunderbolt, causing all the noise to freeze.

Looking at Yan Wei again, one could see his cold and piercing gaze. He looked at Shang Qiwen coldly as he spoke again, “I am not your big brother. Don’t call me that anymore.”

Shang Qiwen felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her face turning as red as blood. She hated Yan Wei even more for humiliating her like this. Back then, when she was alone, she asked Yan Wei to bring her to the Yan family. He disagreed and simply found a hotel to send her away.

Now that he was saying this in person, it was as if he was stomping on her face.

If it weren’t for Shang Qiwen’s memories of her past life and the support she received, she wouldn’t have realized that if Yan Wei didn’t die, he would be Yan Ye’s biggest enemy. The Yan Wei in Shang Qiwen’s memories was powerful like a god, but there was never any mention of such a person in the book.

With Shang Qiwen’s memories from her past life, Yan Wei passed away early. His health had always been poor, and he had died when Yan Ye was 30 years old.

Without Yan Wei, the Yan family seemed to have suffered a lot, and Yan Ye grew up as a result.

He had been entangled with Shan Lingtong for over ten years before finally achieving success. Because of this, Yan Ye didn’t have time to have a child before the age of 35, and the 15% share of the Yan family’s patriarch eventually went to Yan Ye’s second uncle.

Naturally, this also led to a bloody battle in the business world. In Shang Qiwen’s memories from her past life, Yan Ye eventually achieved success, although he couldn’t recover the final 15% share from his grandfather. But the shares he ultimately acquired from Yu Yao were enough to stabilize his position in Yu Yao.

Therefore, after driving away Shan Lingtong, Shang Qiwen immediately thought about having a child. With a child and the shares secured, Yan Ye could no longer abandon her. Moreover, seeing Yan Wei’s healthy body and rosy complexion, would he really die at the age of 30? It was too difficult. It was better to take the initiative to ensure her own position.

Now, although the banquet hadn’t started yet, it had already been agreed to announce the news of Yan Ye’s future tonight. The identity of second young mistress of the Yan family would eventually fall into Shang Qiwen’s hands.

What is Yan Wei? Just a stray dog expelled from the Yan family, someone who would have to rely on her and Yan Ye’s mercy to survive. What qualification did he have to come here and act arrogantly?

Yan Wei didn’t care at all about what Shang Qiwen was thinking. For him, this woman was too insignificant, not even worth Zhou Qiaoqiao’s hair. Not to mention her actions, which disgusted Yan Wei.

Yan Wei looked at Yan Ye, disappointment evident in his eyes.

Yan Yifei, seeing Yan Wei’s reaction, sneered and said, “You indeed have no right to be Qiwen’s big brother. Since you dislike the Yan family so much, then get out of here.”¹ STFU! I really hate this Dad. Hmp!

Yan Wei remained silent and lowered his head for a while before saying, “I don’t dislike her.”

Yan Yifei felt relieved when he heard Yan Wei’s softened words. Then, Shang Qiwen said, “Big Brother, I heard from the manager that news about you and Shan Lingtong trended online. Do you need my help to take it down?”

Yan Yi fei’s fleeting sense of relief disappeared…

Yan Wei looked at Shang Qiwen coldly. The Yan family was in the entertainment and media industry, and Shang Qiwen wanted to debut. For the Yan family, there were already plenty of resources available.

Zhou Qiaoqiao sighed inwardly. It seemed that Liu Yun had still chosen to become a celebrity. In the novel, she wore Zhou Qiaoqiao’s body because she had no money and chose to become Yan Ye’s lover, gaining resources from him and eventually becoming popular in the entertainment industry.

Now, even though she had transmigrated into Shang Qiwen’s body, she ended up walking the same path. Clearly, she had money now…

Liu Yun, who had been a working-class person in the modern world, transmigrated into the body of a wealthy young lady. Naturally, she was happy and satisfied. She was a vain person. In the novel, when she transmigrated into Zhou Qiaoqiao’s body, she chose to entangle herself with Yan Ye, who had hurt her, in order to debut and make money. Now, transmigrating into Shang Qiwen’s body, she could have avoided this path, but she still chose it.

In reality, it was because she enjoyed the feeling of being admired and paid attention to, not to mention the readily available resources!

Thinking about the news Shang Qiwen had shown him earlier, Yan Yi fei felt frustrated. The news about Shan Lingtong’s affair and forcing her to have an abortion… all those hurtful comments were unbearable. Moreover, Yan Wei remained calm and composed, which made him even angrier. He scolded, “We have always favored you since childhood. The only time we let you down was when we dismissed you six years ago. If you have any grievances, take it up with the adults…”

Shang Qiwen felt pleased when she heard this and raised an eyebrow at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei only glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao, who looked up at him with a worried expression. He smiled gently at her, trying to reassure her.

“Father,” Yan Yi fei wanted to interrupt, and other people from the company also gathered around, feeling that they should give their eldest brother some face.

Yan Yifei had been neglecting the company for a long time, coupled with his poor health, his mind was always preoccupied with various messy matters. Since he seemed to be making an unreasonable scene, Yan Yifei, who was still the CEO, became even more biased.

Even though the shareholders of the company had sided with him, even though Yan Ye was trying to persuade him, Yan Yifei continued to complain about Yan Wei’s lack of understanding and ruthlessness.

“Father.” Yan Wei’s voice interrupted him.

Different from Yan Yifei’s voice, Yan Wei’s voice was deeper and carried a sense of authority. Just this one word made Yan Yifei stop talking.

As Yan Ye had said, Yan Wei naturally possessed an air of nobility and a regal aura. Even though they both used the word “Father,” Yan Yifei would only consider Yan Ye’s call as a child’s call, but Yan Wei’s voice would subconsciously make Yan Yifei listen.

Yan Wei looked at Yan Yifei and chuckled softly. “Do you really believe that if I hadn’t let go six years ago, you could have really driven me away?”

Yan Yifei frowned, and the shareholders behind him also frowned.

Yan Wei sighed and spoke softly, “That year, we were discussing a 4.5 billion investment project in a meeting. That project was the total revenue of Yu Yao that year, and 3.5 billion of it was raised by Mr. Zhou. In the end, Yan Ye took over that project and successfully increased Yu Yao’s annual revenue from 3 billion to 6 billion…”

Why did they say that Yan Wei was the king of Yu Yao? Why did they say that even though Yan Ye took over Yu Yao, it was under Yan Wei’s control that Yu Yao truly achieved the milestone of over 10 billion? Because that project was negotiated and acquired by Yan Wei. It was only plucked away by someone else before the fruits of success were harvested.

Therefore, it was because of Yan Wei that Yu Yao had its subsequent development. Even if it wasn’t Yan Yifei who took over, someone else would have achieved similar results.

Yan Wei had paved the way for Yu Yao…

Everyone understood in their hearts, what does Yan Wei want to say now? Does he want to claim that he is the hero of Yu Yao?

The shareholders whispered in their hearts, but they also sneered. Even if it’s true, so what? Yu Yao has no connection to him anymore, and it’s been said that his shares have been taken back by the Yan family.

The gap between him and Yu Yao has become insurmountable.

However, he would never have expected that they would hear what Yan Wei said next…

He said, “That project, I found the people and negotiated it myself. But the other party had one condition…”

No one knew about this matter, so when everyone heard this, they looked at Yan Wei in surprise. Yan Wei continued, “Mr. Zhou’s condition was that I must be involved in the entire project, or else he would withdraw his investment midway.”

Yan Yifei: “!!!”

Everyone: “!!!”

At that moment, the air fell silent. What did Yan Wei’s words represent? That year, the largest investment of the company, a significant portion of it came from Mr. Zhou. If he were to withdraw his investment and it couldn’t keep up, the investment would collapse entirely. It could even bring down the mighty tree that is Yu Yao…

Yan Ye: “…But, but Mr. Zhou, he never…”

Yan Wei lifted his eyelids and looked at Yan Yifei, saying, “I asked him not to say anything. After I left, I provided a guarantee to Yu Yao.”

Everyone: “…”

Zhou Qiaoqiao, seeing everyone’s silence, looked up with a puzzled expression and asked Yan Wei, “Is that really impressive?”

Yan Wei chuckled at her earnest question. He never expected that his girlfriend would be the one to deliver the final blow.

Qiaoqiao!

Yan Wei reached out and pressed her head firmly, saying, “I don’t know, but that year all of Yu Yao’s funds were tied up in that project. If it was delayed, it would have caused difficulties and been detrimental to the company. So, if I didn’t want to leave, no one could force me out.”

“That’s great,” Zhou Qiaoqiao said.

Yan Wei was puzzled, “…Great for what?”

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled and said, “It means that when you left, you didn’t feel too sad!” Since you had a choice, it means you weren’t hurt too badly that day.

Yan Wei smiled at her. Qiaoqiao, she’s truly his lovely Qiaoqiao!

Sansukini: Really, this kind of family. First, they let Yan Wei worked for them, fired him when they thought he would die sooner or later, and now, trying to kick him when they think he’s down. Especially this Dad. ugh! Karma is just around the corner.
