Chapter 1038: Chapter 1035: Indissoluble Blood Ties

It was hardly likely that Yan Yuan could be easily fooled!

Yan Yuan pulled a chair over with a backward motion and sat down on it with a thud.

The man was already half a body shorter, yet his aura and presence were in no way diminished.

"Bo, tell me honestly, do you really plan to sever ties with us?"

Dark eyes fixed determinedly on Yan Bo’s face, his piercing gaze seemed as if it wanted to bore through him.

Not many could withstand such an intense stare from Yan Bo, but Yan Bo was one of those few who could.

He met Yan Yuan’s inquiring eyes, seemingly indifferent, and arched his eyebrow slightly.

"Brother, I have no other choice, do I?"

Instantly, Yan Yuan’s face was filled with rage, "What do you mean you have no other choice?"

At that moment, Yan Yuan resembled a pot of fiercely burning flames, while Yan Bo remained as calm and gentle as usual, only slightly paler due to excessive blood loss.

"Brother, we are both smart people. On this issue, the pros and cons, the possible scenarios of advancing or retreating, we both understand them perfectly clear. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to play dumb. Perhaps, you think it’s okay to continue turning a blind eye and let things drag on. But the love between Xiao Hua and me can’t withstand such wear and tear."

Yan Yuan’s anger flared even more at those words, probably too frustrated, he raised his fist and swung it heavily.

Yan Bo thought he was going to hit him, hesitated for a moment, then instinctively moved slightly aside.

But Yan Yuan’s fist didn’t swing toward him; instead, it landed heavily on the bed.

"You!" Yan Yuan was markedly upset, pointing at Yan Bo, "You talk to me like this for a woman?"

Mentioning Tong Xiaohua finally brought a ripple across Yan Bo’s face.

"What’s wrong with doing it for a woman? If Mom and Dad treated your assistant this way, would you stand it?"

Yan Yuan’s expression changed, "She is different..."

A rare sneer surfaced on Yan Bo’s face, "Why does everyone think that their women are different from others, and my woman has to be vulgar and unwelcome? Brother, you’re just luckier than me!"

Having said that, Yan Bo slightly closed his eyes, his face showing signs of weariness.

"Brother, my stance is clear now, there’s no need for anyone to persuade me anymore! About my injury, don’t tell our parents, so they won’t worry."

A flicker of anger passed through Yan Yuan’s eyes, but probably because Yan Bo had made his point too clear, he didn’t have a good reason to lose his temper anymore.

He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to quell the anger in his heart.

"You’re still worried about them worrying? Right now, you’re already driving them crazy!"

Yan Bo stared back at him, "Brother, I’m sorry! If I could turn back, I would have done it long ago."

In the past, whenever Yan Bo saw those love-at-first-sight films, he couldn’t help but scoff at them.

But life had taught him a hard lesson with reality.

The idea of love at first sight always sounded like a clichéd plot from romantic films, yet he had experienced it himself.

Just one look had made him abandon the thoughtfulness that a successful businessman and a son of the Yan Family should have.

No matter how heavy the fame or family affection weighed on one side of the scale, it seemed, as long as Tong Xiaohua was placed on one side of the scale, it would forever tilt towards her.

There’s no reason, no rationality at all!

Yan Yuan bore his anger and looked deeply into Yan Bo’s eyes.

The two equally stubborn men gazed at each other for a dozen seconds, and finally, it was Yan Yuan, the older brother, who gave in first.

"Alright, let’s set this aside for now. I came here early in the morning to talk to you about your injury,"

Yan Bo immediately responded, "Brother, I’ll handle this myself. I don’t need your intervention."

At such a time, Yan Bo was a good brother, considering Yan Yuan’s special situation and position, aware that even a slight movement could provoke a full-scale assault from the hostile faction.

Yan Yuan looked at him deeply again, and after a long pause, he finally said, "It seems, you have investigated that construction company?"

"I passed out last night and only woke up this morning. It was Xiao Hua who rushed over during the night and asked her dad to help investigate,"

Yan Bo did not conceal this, after all, Tong Xiaohua and her parents were as kind to him as his own parents and brother.

He and his parents and brother are blood relatives, so their kindness is a blood instinct.

Yet for the parents of Tong Xiaohua, their kindness toward him was an extension of their love for her, making their exceptional kindness all the more valuable.

Yan Yuan fell silent!

He knew well, whether it be Tong Xiaohua or her parents, they were incredibly good to his younger brother, just as they had previously taken out a significant amount of cash to help Yanhuang through hard times, and now were helping to find the real culprit.

Such big troubles, in today’s utilitarian society, even biological parents and children may not go to such lengths.

"However, I don’t plan on letting Uncle Tong continue to help. This matter was originally my own, and he has been retired for nearly a year. I don’t want to make him enter into troubles and disputes because of me."

Of course, those troubles probably didn’t amount to much in the eyes of the elder Tong, but Yan Bo also had his pride. He was not just a brat. If he caused trouble, should the elders clean up his mess? What kind of situation would that be?

Yan Yuan nodded, acknowledging his approach.

In every aspect, Yan Yuan did not want his younger brother to owe too much to the Tong Family, but under the current circumstances, these were words he decidedly could not say.

"If you need my help, just ask. Don’t think that by declaring our relationship severed, we can actually cut off that blood relationship."

For this younger brother, Yan Yuan truly had a love-hate relationship, wanting to hit him but reluctant, wanting to scold but finding himself unable to outwit him!

"Brother, I have a clear idea about this matter, just pretend you don’t know," Yan Bo said. "Next year, there will be a new cadre in F City, right? You need to be careful yourself. As for my issues, if you see them, act as if you haven’t, and if asked by others, just say you don’t know, maintain as much detachment as possible."

This serious speech of Yan Bo actually made Yan Yuan laugh.

"Xiao Bo, are you speaking out of anger? What does it mean to maintain as much detachment as possible? You are Yan Yuan’s brother, even if you officially sever ties with us in the newspapers, that’s just your unilateral wish. Even if you are an utterly despised villain, the fact that I am your brother cannot be denied."

Yan Yuan appeared to have completely forgotten his earlier anger, now laughing sincerely.

However, Yan Bo did not laugh.

"Brother, I mean it, don’t interfere in this!"

Yan Bo patted his hand, "Alright, this issue started because of me, and naturally, I have ways to handle it. I won’t let the Lu Family catch any leverage. I’ve been in the game this long, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock if I couldn’t handle even this?"

Yan Bo spoke urgently, "Brother... it’s not related to you..."

Yan Bo smiled and shook his head, "Aren’t you determined to sever ties with us? Why are you now so eager to take the fall for me?"
