Chapter 902: Chapter 899 Break Up Sooner Rather Than Later!

Yan Yuan and Yan Bo might have looked alike, but in terms of personality and temperament, they couldn’t have been more different.

Although Yan Bo was a dominant figure, his gentle appearance and proper elegant manners were highly deceptive. Such a man could easily gain the trust of others.

On the other hand, Yan Yuan looked like someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Even now, sitting at the table in front of the elder whom his younger brother had stressed must be treated well, he still wore an expression that brooked no jest.

But that was expected. When had the Eldest Young Master of the Yan family in Capital City ever needed to bow and scrape for anyone’s favor? It was always others who rushed over to curry favor with him!

It could only be said that Yan Bo, the youngest of the Yan family, was somewhat of an anomaly in terms of personality.

The Tong family were all silver-tongued, and so was Yan Bo. As such, once everyone sat down at the table, Yan Yuan’s somber and dignified presence became quite conspicuous.

Tong’s mom, as an elder, didn’t want to be too imposing, for fear of embarrassing the Yan brothers and making her own daughter uncomfortable. So, she signaled her daughter to pour tea for Yan Yuan, and then, smiling at him, said,

"Mr. Yan is really too polite. Coming all this way and even hosting us for a meal."

"Auntie Tong, you’re the one who’s being too polite. Xiao Bo has been working hard on his own in L City, and he often relies on Uncle and Auntie Tong for care and assistance. It’s only right that I come in person to thank you," Yan Yuan replied.

It wasn’t that Yan Yuan didn’t know how to speak; it was just that he couldn’t be bothered to, unless necessary.

After exchanging courtesies with Tong’s mom, he thanked Tong Xiaohua, who had poured tea for him.

Tong Xiaohua smiled at him, filled everyone else’s cups with tea, and then sat back down in her own seat.

Yan Bo, sitting between her and Yan Yuan, saw her sit down and quickly reached out to hold her hand under the table, offering reassurance.

Eldest Brother Tong, aware of Yan Yuan’s reputation, didn’t inquire about what the other man did for a living. As for his own occupation, he was confident that Yan Yuan was fully aware.

Having scrambled through society for so many years, he could tell that Yan Yuan was being overly polite towards his family of three.

What did that imply?

He could only hope he was overthinking it.

In any case, his belief in Yan Bo remained. If Yan Bo dared to pursue Eldest Brother Tong’s precious daughter, he must have the capacity to smooth out all troubles and secure a stable future for her.

Tong’s mom had noticed the same things he had, though she wasn’t quite aware of Yan Bo’s family background, assuming instead that this elder brother simply couldn’t accept their family’s social standing.

Only Tong Xiaohua, the person actually involved, failed to perceive Yan Yuan’s exaggerated politeness, as at that moment, all she could do was feel nervous.

As Yan Bo’s brother, Yan Yuan certainly noticed the slight disapproval beneath his big brother’s occasional faint smiles, feeling somewhat helpless but without any intention of giving up.

That day, after making arrangements with Tong’s parents, Yan Bo returned to the company and phoned Yan Yuan to lay his cards on the table. Hearing that his younger brother had a girlfriend made Yan Yuan quite happy at first, but as soon as he found out that the girl was the daughter of a gangster boss in L City, Yan Yuan fell silent.

After a long pause, a deep voice from the other end of the phone finally spoke, "Bo, are you just looking to enjoy being in love, or do you wish to be with her forever?"

Yan Bo hesitated for a moment, suppressing the displeasure in his heart. "Big brother, my feelings for her, they should be the same as how you feel about your assistant!"

Although the two brothers had contrasting personalities, they often discussed many things with each other, so Yan Yuan knew pretty much everything there was to know about Yan Bo and that assistant.

There was another pause on the other end before he finally said, "Xiao Bo, you should really think this through carefully. For a family like ours, accepting her will be very difficult."

Yan Bo knew it would be difficult, but if he could give up the person he liked just because it was difficult, it probably couldn’t be called liking at all.

"Big brother, Uncle Tong, Auntie Tong, and Xiao Hua have really helped me a lot recently. Otherwise, being alone in L City, it would be tough to even have a hot meal or a warm soup."

Yan Bo continued along the lines of what Yan Yuan had said, and the parents of the Tong Family picked up the conversation. In this way, the four of them exchanged pleasantries in a polite back and forth.

Tong Xiaohua, afraid that she might make more mistakes the more she spoke, simply took on the role of a waitress instead, ceaselessly pouring tea and passing water to everyone seated until the waitress brought up the meals, and only then did she sit down and timidly begin to eat.

One could only say that at this moment, she was far too young. In these kinds of meet-the-parents scenarios, if you put her in the same situation later on when she became more assertive, things would be very different.

During the meal, Tong Xiaohua ate with caution, while the others dined with courteous restraint.

Even if Yan Bo was talented and good at keeping conversation pleasant, it was very difficult to change one objective fact.

That was, from a traditional standpoint, the Tong Family and the Yan Family were two households mismatched in social status.

If social classes truly existed in this society, then the Tong Family would probably belong to the very bottom layer, and even if the Tong Family had wealth and power, it could not change their grassroots essence.

The Yan Family, on the other hand, occupied the very top layer of classes. Even if, in terms of wealth, Old Yan’s family might not have as much as the Tong Family, in terms of influence, one could only say that one was on the level of a missile’s power and the other was just like a hand grenade.

On the surface, during this first encounter between the two families, everyone was talking and laughing harmoniously, but deep down, everyone understood that the meal hadn’t actually changed anything.

After the meal, the Yan brothers escorted the Tong Family of three to their car and watched it drive away before Yan Yuan and Yan Bo turned to walk to their own car.

Yan Bo was unfamiliar with L City, so Yan Bo drove them back to the residence.

After the car had been on the road for a while, Yan Yuan spoke with profound meaning.

"Xiao Bo, I have nothing against Xiao Hua, this girl. But still, I’ll say it again, while your feelings for each other are not deep, better break it off."

Yan Yuan said this very seriously, and as for the reasons, he believed that with his brother’s IQ and EQ, it was impossible not to understand.

The dinner just now had allowed Yan Bo to thoroughly understand his brother’s intentions, so hearing him say this now wasn’t a surprise at all.

"Big brother, why didn’t you and your assistant break up earlier, then?"

Yan Yuan’s expression darkened, "Xiao Bo, is it the same? She was just poor, and having Dad accept it was just a matter of time, but Xiao Hua, that girl, her family is gangsters. Have you made that clear? You can’t be so naive as to think that if you don’t go into politics and choose to go into business instead, the kind of wife you find would have no effect on the Yan Family, right?"

Yan Bo fell silent, and after a while, he sighed.

"Brother, I understand what you’re saying. But just like you, if I could control it, I would not have let myself dive headfirst in, without any chance to turn back!"

It was also upon meeting Tong Xiaohua that Yan Bo realized there really was someone in this world who would make you disregard any consequence, even to the point of losing all basic rationality.
