Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 150 Hidden Families, the Jiang Family

Chapter 150: 150 Hidden Families, the Jiang Family

"Song Qinglong is so arrogant and conceited," Old Master Yan said, shaking his head in disgust. "He thinks he can revive the Song Family without his father-in-law’s support. Doesn’t he realize that it’s easy to turn one billion into two billion, but starting from scratch is a whole different ballgame? Just getting food on the table would be a problem, let alone the capital to do business."

"The same situation, and yet I handled it completely differently! The Yan Family is also an established family, and the children never lacked for food or clothing from a young age, but we definitely didn’t have the foundation of the Jiang Family. When the Yan Family was in decline, your mother came with twenty billion to invest. After that, I felt every penny the Yan Family earned belonged to her."

"After all, given the dire straits the Yan Family was in back then, if it had been anyone else in charge, just managing to preserve a portion of the family wealth would have been considered a feat! Grandpa isn’t someone who doesn’t know gratitude, and is well aware that he didn’t have the power to turn the tide on his own! The fact that we made it through was entirely thanks to the power of the Jiang Family’s capital..."

Old Master Yan, recalling the events of more than twenty years ago, still found them as vivid as if they had happened yesterday.

"Your mother always contacted us from her side, as she belongs to the Jiang Family. After giving birth to you, she left you with the Yan Family and then returned to the Jiang Family... Don’t blame her. How could we confine a Jiaolong that soars through the skies to a place like ours? The world is so vast; she has her own pursuits and battlefields. Staying would have been a waste of her talents..."

Yueqing nodded: "I understand."

Though she grew up without her mother by her side, she never lacked for maternal love for even a day.

Her father, Yan Ming, gave her everything he could, replacing her mother’s love with his own.

Don’t think that growing up in a single-parent family must cause great psychological trauma to a child. Are unhappy families any better?!

Old Master Yan was very satisfied with the child he had raised: "After your father passed away and Grandpa’s health started to decline, you were still young, and the family had no pillar of support left. Your eldest uncle proposed that I adopt a child to stabilize the situation. I made it clear to them that the Yan Family’s current status was all thanks to your mother’s support, and no one should even think of coveting that money! They agreed readily, even choosing the most well-behaved child in the clan, Yan Kang..."

"Who knew, wealth moves the heart, and in the end, they still hankered for it! Yueqing, Grandpa has already had Steward Yan make arrangements over these past two years, transferring quite a bit of property into Wangwang’s name... If I weren’t afraid of being too obvious and provoking their murderous intent, I would wish to leave the entire Yan Family to Wangwang!

What a pity... Grandpa is getting old... and it has taken so much effort just to ensure Wangwang’s safety. Of the wealth, in the end, probably only three-fifths can go to Wangwang... The rest... is likely to end up in Yan Kang and your eldest uncle’s pockets!"

Upon hearing this, Yueqing frowned: "Grandpa, don’t worry about these things anymore. I’m back now, and I will make sure the Yan Family isn’t taken away by them!"

Old Master Yan nodded, his eyes filled with relief: "If you think like that, Grandpa couldn’t be more reassured! It is your property, after all. It absolutely must not—"

He spoke with urgency and suddenly coughed sharply twice.

Yueqing hurriedly brought him some tea: "Grandpa, have some water."

Old Master Yan took a few sips to moisten his throat: "Speaking of the Jiang Family again, they have a huge influence abroad, like the ES Bank in Sweden, which, your mother mentioned, is also one of the Jiang Family’s businesses. There, the daily transaction volume easily reaches several hundred billion – it’s terrifying just to hear about it."

Several hundred billion?

All right, Yueqing admitted that her perspective had been narrow!

Honestly, when she first received five hundred billion as start-up capital from the system, even though Tong Bao had mentioned that all the fund sources were legitimate and there was no fear of investigation, she still worried that such a large amount of capital might disrupt the market.

Now, hearing her grandpa mention it, Yueqing laughed...

Disrupt the market?

The money she had spent was nothing compared to their daily turnover!

The world is like a giant pyramid cake, with the people at the bottom forever unable to glimpse the lives of the elites at the top.

Ordinary people, earning a few thousand yuan a month, look at the Forbes list and think the title of the world’s richest rotates among just a few individuals.

In reality, many aristocratic families at home and abroad wouldn’t bother competing for a spot on any ranking list.

They had many business dealings that couldn’t be made public, their own exclusive patents.

To give a simple example, netizens all know that there are many wealthy individuals in Saudi; one moment they’re building ice rinks in the desert, the next they’re thinking of leaving their mark on the moon... But have you seen them on any rich people’s competition lists?

If Yueqing were to invest the entire one hundred billion, it might surprise the Hua Country Business District, but in the grand scheme of the capital world, it would be just a small ripple.

It’s preposterous to judge a life one has never experienced based on one’s own understanding.

(So don’t say Yueqing’s money is disrupting the market anymore. I just want to write a refreshing story where she spends money freely, can’t I? If I wanted to conform to reality, why would I still write about systems! Picking out logical flaws in the plot is fine, but don’t be too ridiculous.)

Old Master Yan said, "I remember when your mother sent you back to Hua Country, she also gave you ten billion for pocket money. I have no idea where you’ve spent it all."

"I invested it," Yueqing replied subconsciously.

"Oh? What did you invest in? Tell Grandpa about it?"

Yueqing tried hard to remember but finally admitted the blanks in her memory, "I can’t remember."

"You..." Old Master Yan chuckled, saying no more.

His granddaughter had been away for so long, and it was normal for her to have some unclear memories now that she had just returned.

Seeing her grandfather’s knowing look, Yueqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Jiang Family around, the money from Tong Zi could at least be accounted for...

She started to tell the truth, "Grandpa, I bought Zhongxing to give to Wangwang, which cost over ten billion."

Old Master Yan almost thought he had heard wrong!

"How much?"

"I transferred a total of twenty-eight billion. My actual expenditure didn’t go that high, so the extra was treated as an additional investment!"

Old Master Yan’s eyes widened!!

No!!

Just how much pocket money did Jiang Yu give you?!

Yueqing said, "Grandpa, you want me to take back the Yan Family, and I think that’s OK! But if I act suddenly now, what might Yan Kang do? After all, he has been managing the group for nearly ten years, and even if his reputation is tainted by gambling, he still has a big uncle behind him."

Yan Kang, a tool, a mere puppet person...

The old master’s brother, her great uncle Yan Jun hidden in the shadows, was the true mastermind wanting to control the Yan Family.

In ten years, a number of core elites in the group had been replaced by the great uncle with his own people.

For Yueqing, who was new to the scene, satisfying those people was almost an impossible task.

Yueqing said, "I plan to start a few small companies first, make some achievements, and it would be best if both sides could have projects that intersect, to facilitate my taking over the Yan Family later on."
