Chapter 670 Do You Understand Me?
For anyone, only after climbing over a tall mountain could they see the scenery at a higher place. If they couldn't climb over it,
If they couldn't climb over it, they would only be able to reach that place in their life.
Currently, Qin Sheng was the mountain in front of Yan Chaozong. It was a mountain that had troubled Yan Chaozong for several years. It was more like an inner demon in his heart. If he couldn't climb over this mountain, he would naturally suffer a blow. He might become muddle-headed and useless from then on. This was what Old Master Yan didn't want to see. After all, his expectations for Yan Chaozong were not limited to this.
Therefore, Old Master Yan dared to give it a try and let Yan Chaozong fight bravely. He was the only grandson of Old Master Yan. He was going to lead the Yan family to create a bright future. He had to get through this. This was also his biggest test.
Yan Chaozong, who had been feeling uneasy and dared not tell his family, could only struggle in secret. Today, he finally got the full support of the family. He was in an extremely good mood, as if he was a proud person.
After Yan Chaozong sent Old Master Yan and Second Uncle Yan back to the villa, Yan Chaozong went back to the city. His father had something to talk to him. Yan Chaozong guessed that it was about marriage. After all, his parents had been urging him for a long time. They were even more anxious than Old Master Yan.
After Yan Chaozong left, Old Master Yan and Second Uncle Yan sat in the study and chatted without any barriers. The eldest son of the Yan family was like his mother, who was aloof from worldly affairs and obsessed with learning. The second son of the Yan family was more like Old Master Yan. The reason why the second son of the Yan family could get to where he was today was that the Old Master taught him step by step.
Old Master Yan was quite satisfied with his second son. Although his second son didn't meet his highest requirements, he had tried his best. However, Second Uncle Yan had no son, only two daughters. Therefore, all of their hopes could only be placed on Yan Chaozong. Old Master Yan and Second Uncle Yan even tried their best to cultivate Yan Chaozong. Yan Chaozong's previous performance had always been very satisfactory. However, until this matter happened, it completely disrupted their rhythm and caused Yan Chaozong to more or less degenerate these few years.
Now, they had to make a choice. They could either give up on Yan Chaozong or give him their full support. Giving up was equivalent to giving up on all the painstaking efforts he had put in over the years. He would more or less feel some regret and loss. However, it was very difficult for them to find a new successor. Even if they found one, it would be difficult for them to get close to him even though he was still a descendant of the Yan Clan. The only advantage was that the Yan Clan would not be caught in an unknown storm. There would be no losses if there was no risk.
There were two possible outcomes for supporting Yan Chaozong with all his might. If he won, Yan Chaozong would be a brand new Yan Chaozong. His abilities and strength would be improved in all aspects. Moreover, he would be recognized by almost everyone. Moreover, he would obtain sufficient resources from this storm, especially the resources from Sijiu City. In the future, he would also be able to take over all of the Yan Clan's connections. This was the best outcome. No matter how much the Yan Clan would lose, it would be a gain in the long run.
The other outcome was losing. Yan Chaozong might not be able to recover from this setback, and the Yan Clan would suffer even greater losses. From then on, they would be reduced to a nobody. Moreover, Yan Chaozong might even die. No matter what price the Yan Clan had to pay, they would not be able to protect him. This was the worst outcome.
One was the best, and the other was the worst. The Yan Clan had chosen to support him with all their might. Naturally, they were taking a risk and gambling. However, why did they have to gamble?
Because it was the general trend. The Goddess of Luck was obviously favoring them. The Qin Clan was already in a difficult situation. How could they have the energy to deal with them? They were just an insignificant straw among all the straws that had crushed the Qin Clan.
"Dad, this is really a big gamble. If we lose, the Yan Clan might go back decades. Do we really have to gamble like this?" Second Uncle Yan asked uncertainly because he wasn't someone who liked to gamble. He liked to scheme and take advantage of the situation. Only by going with the flow would he be able to reap the greatest benefits. Although the Yan Clan had enough allies this time, if it was just the Qin Clan alone, it would be a challenge of a higher level.
Old Master Yan's wrinkled and weathered face was full of determination. He replied, "What else can we do if we don't gamble? We have no other choice. Do you think the Qin Clan will let Chaozong go? Obviously, the possibility is very small. Are we going to give up on Chaozong? Obviously, they won't. Then we can only gamble. Moreover, the winning rate is very high now. We may not lose. If we win, everyone will be happy. The Yan Clan will then enter a new height. If we lose, we will go back decades. No family can have a smooth life. They always have to experience setbacks in order to reach new heights. "
Second Uncle Yan nodded silently and said, "Dad, it seems that you have thought it through."
"I've lived my whole life and experienced everything. For the future of the Yan family, it's not a big deal to lose a grandson and go back a few decades. I won't end up begging on the street, right?" Old Master Yan said calmly.
Second Uncle Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In this case, let's gamble."
At this time, Old Master Yan suddenly said something that no one understood. He murmured to himself, "Moreover, there are some things that I already know."
Second Uncle Yan frowned slightly. When he wanted to ask more, the Old Master had already waved his hand to indicate that he could leave. Second Uncle Yan walked out of the study with doubts.
It was already very late when Yan Chaozong returned to the city from Sheshan. His parents lived in a high-end villa community in Jing 'an. With the financial support of the Qin Clan, his father was in charge of a cultural research institution. He had been studying all his life and could be considered as a real cultured person.
His mother was born in a rich family. However, his mother's family was no longer what it used to be. Now it was just a second-rate family attached to the Qin Clan. Yan Chaozong did not have much contact with them. Now his mother was in charge of the Yan Clan's charity work. Compared with his second mother who was in charge of the financial department in the headquarters of the group, his mother obviously had no say in the family.
Yan Chaozong never interfered with his parents' lives, nor did he have any opinions. He felt that it was fine as long as they were happy. As for other things, it was enough for others to handle. Besides, they still had him as their son. This was their greatest asset.
"Zong 'er, you haven't been home for dinner for a long time. If you continue to be like this, I will be angry." Yan Chaozong's mother was graceful and elegant. She had maintained herself well. It was obvious that she was born in a rich family and had never suffered.
Yan Chaozong held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, Grandpa and Second Uncle wanted to talk to me tonight. Didn't I tell you about it? I will come back tomorrow night to have dinner with you. By the way, I heard that you liked an old object some time ago. It seems to be an emerald bracelet worn by some Empress Dowager in the Qing Dynasty. I will ask someone to send it to you later. "
Upon hearing this, Yan Chaozong's mother was very happy and said, "Wow, our Zong 'er is so good to me, unlike someone who only knows to deal with those old guys every day. He doesn't even have time to talk to me. I really don't know why I was so blind back then."
It was obvious that she was mocking the eldest brother of the Yan Clan, who was sitting on the sofa and reading. The eldest brother took off his reading glasses and stared at his wife. He said, "What am I talking to you about? You only know how to buy and buy. Look at the things you have bought. Which ones are useful and which ones have you used? "
The two of them began to bicker back and forth. Yan Chaozong did not interrupt, nor would he help either of them. This was their way of life. After all, both of them knew very well that they loved each other deeply. Back then, his father and mother did not get married through a marriage between two families, but through a free relationship.
Obviously, Yan Chaozong's father could not win against Yan Chaozong's mother, so he could only vent his anger on Yan Chaozong. He said, "Come here, I want to talk to you."
Yan Chaozong walked over unhurriedly and said half-jokingly, "Dad, are you going to introduce me to someone's daughter or relative again? I have said that as long as the Old Master thinks it's okay, I will meet them."
Of course, the eldest brother of the Yan Clan was most afraid of the Old Master of the Yan Clan. He said angrily, "Don't use the Old Master to pressure me. I want to talk to you about something serious."
Yan Chaozong's mother was very sensible and said, "You two have a good talk. I will go to the kitchen and ask Sister Song to make soup for you. Drink some later."
After Yan Chaozong's mother left, there were only the father and son in the living room. The father and son had never had any disputes. The Yan Clan loved this son very much, but he could not do anything about many things. This was because the Old Master had raised him since he was a child. Sometimes he felt that this son was closer to his brother than to him. However, this was his character, and he did not know how to get close to him.
"Dad, what's wrong? What's the matter? Just say it," Yan Chaozong asked directly. He thought that there was something wrong with his father's research institution and he wanted his help.
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan frowned and said, "You are not young anymore. It is time for you to get married. How have you been living these two years? Although I did not ask, it does not mean that I do not know. You are ruining yourself."
"Dad, you don't have to worry about some things. I know what to do. Some roads have to be walked by themselves," Yan Chaozong interrupted his father. He did not want to talk about these things.
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan continued, "There are some things that I also know. When it is time to lower your head, you have to lower your head. If you take a step back, you will have a bright future. If you continue to struggle like this, I am really afraid that one day you will be gone. Your mother and I only have one son. Do you really want us to send you off?"
Yan Chaozong subconsciously understood what was going on. His expression changed instantly and he said, "Dad, tell me the truth. Who told you these things?"
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan shook his head and said, "Don't ask me who told me this. I will not tell you."
Yan Chaozong was a little angry. He had already made up his mind to find out who it was. When the time came, he would definitely not let them go. However, he did not want to argue with his father. He just said, "Dad, this matter is not as simple as you think. I have already discussed it with Grandpa and Second Uncle. They will tell me what to do. Don't think too much about it."
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan let out a long sigh and said, "You are my son. How can I not think about it?"
Yan Chaozong laughed and said, "What's the use of thinking about it? Do you really understand me?"
This sentence directly stunned the eldest brother of the Yan Clan. The eldest brother of the Yan Clan was instantly speechless. Although they were father and son, sometimes they were even more polite than strangers. Did he really understand this son of his?
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan wanted to say something, but Yan Chaozong had already stood up and left. He said, "I will go and get some soup for you."
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, his phone received a text message. He slowly picked up the phone and saw that it said, "Hubby, when will you come to see me and my baby?"
The eldest brother of the Yan Clan looked uncertain. Seeing that his wife had already walked out of the kitchen, he quickly deleted the text message.
