Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 149: 149 Old Master Yan: A small company? How small?

A small company?

Old Master Yan was delighted upon hearing this!

His granddaughter used to show no interest in business, and even when she was sent abroad to be with her mother, she was inconsistent, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two.

She didn’t learn the essence of the Jiang Family’s business acumen, but rather got involved in a vigorous romance.

After his son passed away, with no heir left for the Yan Family, the old master focused his hopes on Yan Yueqing, but she was too young and had no ideas of her own, so he had no choice but to reluctantly adopt Yan Kang.

Later, when Yan Kang committed those disgraceful acts, Yueqing suddenly woke up one day, saying, "Grandpa, I want to go learn business!" The old master was so pleased that he immediately sent her, baggage and all, to the Jiang Family, his heart full of soaring hope!

Then, in one day, he received three phone calls from Jiang Yu: "Hopeless, she can’t learn a thing!" This left the old master deeply disappointed.

After the birth of Yan Wang, the old master looked at his tiny great-grandson and had ideas once again; however, when the doctor said the child was frail and might not live past ten years... it made the old master so regretful he could beat his chest and stomp his feet.

In the past two years, Old Master Yan had secretly arranged many things, preparing in advance what should be left for his great-grandson; as for the rest, he could only leave it to Yan Kang to build as much as he could...

In short, the old master’s heart, caught between hope and regret, nearly leaped out with myocarditis.

Now, hearing that Yan Yueqing had acquired a small company?

Damn it!

The once silent heart was excited once more!

"What small company? How small is it?" Old Master Yan asked eagerly, "Do you want Grandpa to invest some money for you?"

"No need, no need," Yan Yueqing waved her hand, "Just buying a small company to test the waters."

"I see," Old Master Yan said with a smile, "It seems you’ve saved quite a bit of money in the entertainment industry."

Back then, that person who occupied the shell of his darling granddaughter insisted on entering that darn entertainment industry, even to the point of severing ties with the family. Who would have thought that after going in, she would ruin his granddaughter’s reputation completely? Thank goodness Yueqing came back and even inherited the money that person earned, otherwise Old Master Yan would have died with his eyes wide open in dismay!

Yan Yueqing smiled awkwardly.

Grandpa thinks it was money earned in the entertainment industry?

Actually... it’s because of this BUG in the system...

The old master continued, "What kind of small company is it?"

"Emmm... It’s Zhongxing Media, the one I used to be with."

Old Master Yan paused, "Zhongxing? That company isn’t small at all! Acquiring it must have cost a pretty penny, didn’t it?"

So formidable in the entertainment industry? Earning several billion in just a few years as a minor celebrity?

Old Master Yan found it unbelievable!

Yan Yueqing couldn’t expose the system, but knowing she had so much money, her grandfather would eventually sense something was off. She thought of an excuse: "It’s a joint venture, the big money was put up by the other party, I just have a share..."

Old Master Yan felt even more that something was amiss upon hearing this, but she had just said it was an acquisition...

Oh!

It’s the Jiang Family, isn’t it?

Old Master Yan patted her hand and said mysteriously, "If you don’t want to say, Grandpa won’t ask. It’s just that, Yueqing, the relationship between the Jiang Family and our family isn’t as awkward as the outside world says, and you don’t need to take those rumors to heart."

"Ah? The Jiang Family?" Yan Yueqing immediately associated it with the "lady with the surname Jiang" mentioned by Housekeeper Mu.

She sat up straight, trying to soften her tone, "Grandfather, can you tell me about the Jiang Family?"

"You’ve forgotten everything?" Old Master Yan thought she was just confused as she had just returned. "The Jiang Family is the family of your mother, Jiang Yu."

Mother? Jiang Yu?

Yan Yueqing tried to recall this person in her mind, but surprisingly found... she couldn’t remember anything?!

Could it be related to the original plotline? Would she have to meet the person in question before her memory would awaken?

Yan Yueqing frowned, "I’ve forgotten a bit..."

"Is that so?" Old Master Yan said, "No matter, your grandfather will tell you! The Jiang Family was once one of the top families in Hua Country. The Imperial Court might change every hundred years, but they had endured for a thousand. When Hua Country was first established, the Jiang Family voluntarily donated three-quarters of their wealth, then moved abroad with the entire family..."

"Such a large family, but after going abroad, they vanished without a trace. Many families in the country that had been suppressed by the Jiang Family then spread rumors abroad that they had finally been wiped out by the passage of time! I won’t lie to you. When I first heard about the Jiang Family, I too heard it from their mouths, thinking that this behemoth had met its end overseas..."

"It wasn’t until your mother, Jiang Yu, appeared that your grandfather understood... The power of a hidden family is far greater than we imagined! Their development abroad had exceeded what it was when they left Hua Country. Their assets had at least doubled... And there’s something else. You met a girl named Du Mansheng on the show, didn’t you?"

Yan Yueqing raised her lashes, "What about her? Does she also have ties to the Jiang Family?"

"No." The old man waved his hand, "The man she married is called Song Qinglong, an ungrateful wretch! When the Song Family got into trouble, the Du Family, to honor a promise, married off their only daughter to them and even provided financial and other support... But in the end, they raised an ingrate."

Yan Yueqing was truly shocked, "Grandfather knows about their family issues too?"

"The Du Family has business dealings with our family. I even visited them a few years ago," Old Master Yan recalled Song Qinglong’s demeanor with disgust, "Everyone knows that I plan to leave the Yan Family to Wangwang. Song Qinglong followed suit, even wanting me to persuade Mansheng to leave all their assets to their daughter. I choked him off, and he didn’t dare say much more. Later, I also reminded Xiao Du, warning him that Song Qinglong’s overseas businesses were dangerous... After all, it’s their family matter, and it’s not polite to be too nosy."

Yan Yueqing smiled, seeing the old master as clever as a fox.

But he was right in doing so!

Business relationships don’t need to get too entangled with family affairs.

Who knows how much Father Du really understands about Song Qinglong’s issues?

Some people, after all, only care about their interests and won’t listen to others’ advice.

Like some love-struck friends you’ve warned to death, but with just one call from the scumbag, she would happily tell you, "I knew he loves me!" Even after running back to the jerk, she’d complain about you, "Baby is the best, not like my friend who advised us to break up!"

Then there are parents whose kids are terribly behaved, but when problems arise, they only defend them! They can come up with all kinds of excuses and justifications.

Especially when visiting someone’s home, their child destroys expensive toys or make-up, and the parent takes the lead in creating a fuss, "He’s just a child!"

Old Master Yan was seventy years old, and he hadn’t even sorted out his own son, Yan Kang, yet; how could he go pointing out someone else’s family matters?

If Father Du was willing to dote on Song Qinglong, wouldn’t he become the bad guy?

So he merely gave a warning. How the other party handled it was none of Old Master Yan’s concern or interest.

"I mentioned Song Qinglong because their situation is very similar to our family’s," Old Master Yan said. "In the beginning... the Yan Family had its difficulties too, but your mother, with a vast amount of funds, resolutely brought the Yan Family back to life and even maintained its position as the richest in C City."

"Ah?!"

Yan Yueqing was genuinely shocked!

Her mother was so wealthy?! She had never heard of this before!
