Chapter 290: Chapter 290: The Little Bun Who Acknowledges His Ancestors and Returns to His Clan
As their grandfather and grandmother returned to the capital to visit great-grandfather and great-grandmother, One Hundred Million Yan, the little dumpling, was currently having a blast in the large Masarello House.
Naturally, old Master Yan and old Madam Yan couldn’t help but love this sweet-talking yet playful and childish little boy. Even Yan Bo’s older brother and sister couldn’t help but dote on this nephew and grandson.
Yan Bo’s older brother and sister’s son and daughter-in-law were both working out of town, so their great-grandchildren who were staying in the capital were a pair of students, one in high school and the other in middle school. They doted on One Hundred Million Yan just like a treasure in their hands.
As such, from having only his mommy and his mother-in-law around him a month ago, the baby boy was now surrounded by a host of doting elders. It was like a lowly prince who had suddenly been crowned emperor.
Luckily, he had been educated by Zhu Qianying from a young age and had a strong sense of self-restraint. Otherwise, he could have turned into a tyrant within a few days.
But the nature of children is to explore. After playing in the Masarello House for two days, he had already explored every nook and cranny, and naturally, he started to have a yearning for the outside world.
"Great-grandfather, can baby boy go out and play?" The slightly depressed little dumpling tugged at old Master Yan’s arm and looked at him pitifully.
Of course, Yan Bo and his wife had hoped that their baby boy could spend more time with old Master Yan and old Madam Yan on this visit, for each additional day they could spend with them felt as precious as a stolen gift at their advanced age.
So, they had him stay at home these two days. Even if he wasn’t spending time with the two old folks, they tried to have him stay within their line of sight.
Five years ago, old Master Yan still showed some authority and dominance in front of Zhu Qianying, but now, he had completely lost all principles in front of this soft and adorable little dumpling.
"Go, go, have your brother and sister take you out to play!"
But it wasn’t a weekend. His brother and sister had to go to school.
Besides his brother and sister, the youngest people in the Yan household were Yan Bo and his wife, who were well into their seventies. How could they possibly play with the things that the children played with?
"Great-grandfather, brother and sister have to go to school..." The young master pouted and playfully swung old Master Yan’s arm.
He thought that his great-grandfather was just trying to brush him off, unaware that at such an old age, confusion was natural.
"Ha ha, look at great-grandfather’s memory, I totally forgot that your brother and sister have school..."
Young Master Yan took a glance at the room, seeing that other than great-grandfather and great-grandmother, it was just his own grandparents. It seemed that going out to play was a lost cause. Feeling down, he didn’t push further and just accepted his fate. He went to grab his scooter, then ran dejectedly into the courtyard to entertain himself.
Seeing his great-grandson so disappointed, it also made old Master Yan upset. So he couldn’t help complaining about his younger son,"Why didn’t Xiao Han and Ying’er come back together? If they were here, they could take baby boy out to play."
Yan Bo naturally couldn’t mention the fallout between his son and Zhu Qianying to old Master Yan. "Dad, it’s near the Spring Festival, and there’s a lot of work in the company. Xiao Han and Ying’er are both very busy."
"What rubbish company, that you have to do everything yourself!"
In old Master Yan’s eyes, the Yanhuang Group was nothing more than a mediocre company.
"In my opinion, Xiao Han is only thirty-three yeares old. It wouldn’t be difficult to find a job for him."
Yan Bo’s older brother had been transferred back to the capital for work a couple of years ago and was now a high-ranking official. Although it might not have been as high as old Master Yan’s peak position, he was still an important figure who could summon a pack of hounds with a single sentence.
To old Master Yan, going into business was always a crooked path, while entering politics was the right way. Therefore, these past few years, he had been tirelessly advising Yan Han to get back on the "right" path.
However, Yan Han, just like his father, wasn’t interested in the political scene at all. Being a politician often meant dealing with too many bureaucratic rules which clashed with his domineering and willful nature.
"Dad, Xiao Han is not a child anymore. We can’t control what he wants to do." Yan Bo himself had never tried to interfere with his son’s choices.
Even more than a decade ago when he and his wife decided to retire, they didn’t necessarily want their son to take over their businesses.
At that time, they had even planned to hire professional teams to manage the Yanhuang Group and Tong Family businesses. It was their son who took it upon himself to take on those responsibilities!
"Fine, fine. If you and he are both reluctant to give up that worthless company, what about Ying’er? Has she ever thought about what she wants to do?"
It was only then that Yan Bo remembered that he hadn’t mentioned his daughter-in-law’s profession to his father yet.
"Dad, you don’t need to worry about Ying’er’s work. She’s a jewelry designer and a pretty popular one at that."
As he said this, old Madam Yan, who had been sitting quietly at the side, became interested. After all, women of all ages are susceptible to the allure of jewelry and beautiful clothes.
"Xiao Hua, Ying’er is a jewelry designer? She’s so impressive?"
Old Madam Yan hurriedly fetched the iPad that baby boy usually used to play games. It stored quite a few pieces designed by Zhu Qianying, including a pair of anniversary rings she had designed for Yan Bo and his wife.
Old Madam Yan put on her reading glasses and looked carefully for quite some time, nodding approvingly as she did.
"That’s good, that’s good. Ying’er’s overseas studies have resulted in some success!"
Now, the excuse that the eldest young master Yan used to deceive his elders about his previous whereabouts had finally found a legitimate and perfect explanation.
Madam Yan also heaved a sigh of relief. She and Yan Bo had been worrying all the way here that old Master Yan and old Madam Yan would question too much about the whereabouts of Zhu Qianying and baby boy in the past few years.
If they had really asked, she didn’t have enough resources to come up with a plausible lie on the spot.
Luckily, old Master Yan and old Madam Yan, given their age and experiences, had seen and understood a lot already. They were experts in discerning when to question and when to turn a blind eye, having honed these skills to perfection.
Therefore, within their stay of two days, the two old folks and Yan Bo’s older brother and sister neither asked nor made any remarks that would make Yan Bo and his wife uncomfortable or left them speechless.
"Yes, Ying’er is quite talented in this area. Xiao Han tells me that she’s won quite a few awards in the past few years."
Madam Yan was fully satisfied with Zhu Qianying, her daughter-in-law. Every time she looked at this girl, she would inwardly curse her son for having such a gem, yet he had to go and make her lose her patience with him. As for warming up to her again, that would be a long and arduous process.
"Great! Next time, let Ying’er design a pair of couple rings for your father and me!" It turned out that old Madam Yan also had a fashionable heart.
