Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 198 Fainting

Although the Shen Family could afford this sum, being extorted and willingly giving were not the same thing.

She was unquestionably displeased.

Yun Yue’s extravagant and unbridled expression was particularly glaring in Wei Jiping’s eyes.

No wonder Shen Xuan often complained about Yun Yue; she truly was arrogant and dismissive of others.

A high school student, he didn’t know where she got her confidence from; at least he had never seen anyone as arrogant as her.

He had been deceiving and strategizing in the business world for many years and today, unexpectedly, she had outmaneuvered him.

Listening to the surrounding whispers, he had to donate the ten million whether he liked it or not.

"Ten million is too little. I’ll add on another five million," he suppressed his dissatisfaction, his profound gaze with a hint of warning landing on her face.

So young yet making enemies everywhere, to put it nicely, it’s youthful ignorance, to put it harshly, it’s sheer arrogance. He was curious to see how far she could go.

The Lin Family wouldn’t protect her forever, and Mayor Wei also had his limits.

"It seems the Shen Group makes more money than I thought," Yun Yue said, her lips curving into a wicked smile as she indifferently withdrew her gaze.

A mere fifteen million. Shen Jiping could indeed afford it without flinching.

But this was the price for Bai Hui repeatedly embarrassing Aunt Xiang, hoping she would understand.

He Minzhen’s lips curled slightly; her manner of speaking was strikingly similar to hers.

Just as dismissive, just as carefree, just as whimsical.

After the donation, Wei Guohang came over to chat with them until the banquet ended at ten o’clock.

"Yueyue, why don’t you stay here tonight and go to school with Wei Xuan tomorrow?" He Minzhen held her hand with a reluctant expression. Although it was their first meeting, she inexplicably liked her.

"No, thanks. I want to go back to sleep," she declined, her hands tensing inside her pockets.

"Okay then," He Minzhen reluctantly agreed, watching until she got into Lin Xiang’s car and left the Wei Family’s home.

With all the guests gone, He Minzhen finally had a moment to ask the person next to her, "Brother Wei, how does Yun Yue look..."

Wei Guohang paused mid-step up the stairs, his brow furrowed and his voice low and serious, "You noticed it too; I thought I was overthinking it, but I’m not quite sure."

He had met Yun Yue in Rock Village during a poverty alleviation visit. Back then, her features were still very childlike; he just thought they looked somewhat alike.

As she grew up, elegant and graceful, she increasingly resembled her, which made him suspect, leading him to investigate her multiple times. Eventually, he caught her red-handed and realized she was not simple.

He remembered when she disappeared for two years in her teens. She had privately contacted him asking him to take care of Liu Lanfang and then went silent.

After two years, when she returned, her entire temperament had drastically changed.

She was easily irritable, obsessed with sweets, always enveloped in a low, bloody pressure that ordinary people dare not approach. She used to smile before, but afterwards, she never smiled again - mostly it was just a cold and extremely perfunctory smile. Only recently had her smiles become more frequent.

He knew she was good at fighting, but he didn’t know where she learned such defensive yet violent and bloody martial arts...

She knew a lot, her brain was unusually smart; if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he’d hardly believe it.

Hearing this, He Minzhen’s curiosity intensified; she planned to find an opportunity to investigate further.

Immediately after, he turned his head, asking with uncertainty, "You want to investigate her?"

He Minzhen nodded, "What if she really is her daughter?"

She had disappeared for nearly 20 years, continuously without any news; this time, she finally noticed that Yun Yue resembled her and wanted to try a theory.

If she was indeed dead, and Yun Yue was really her daughter, she shouldn’t be left to suffer outside.

"I wouldn’t recommend it," Wei Guohang shook his head. Seeing her confused, he added meaningfully, "You won’t find out anything, and she’ll discover you."

He Minzhen was somewhat shocked. It seemed that Brother Wei had already investigated and had been discovered. Did she really have that capability?

"But..." She was not willing to give up like this, unable to investigate, not knowing where to start.

Suddenly, a person popped into her mind, and the anxious expression on her face eased. Perhaps she knew whom to approach now.

Seeing her expression, he knew she had thought of another method and, reminding her once more before he turned around, he entered the house.

The BMW business car drove smoothly on the streets of Lan City.

Inside the car, it was very quiet. Both of them quietly observed the person playing with the phone, his brows furrowed.

Both of them were frightened.

They didn’t know she was acquainted with Mayor Wei, and they looked very familiar.

Although neither of them spoke, both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Yun Zhonghai always thought she was reckless and brash, like a local ruffian. Meanwhile, in the parents’ meeting, she was the one who ranked first, got called out for praise, and scored full marks.

He hadn’t expected her relationship with Mayor Wei to be so good; if he had known, he wouldn’t have been so nervous!

He felt a bit resentful towards her. Knowing Mayor Wei was a big deal that she kept to herself could have greatly benefited the Lin Group.

Back at the Lin Family home, Lin Xuanze was watching TV in his pajamas on the couch.

Feeling someone entering, he glanced and then returned his focus to idly sipping his milk.

He sat with his legs crossed, switching through TV channels with the remote without purpose.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and saw Yun Yue walking in with a lazy stride, her eyes half-closed like a cat that had just woken up.

"There’s milk on the table from Grandma for you."

Yun Yue lazily walked over and picked up the cup. The temperature was just right, but the color seemed a bit off. Without giving it much thought, she drank it down.

"..."

She realized the taste was wrong only after swallowing.

Spicy!

Extremely spicy!

"..."

She didn’t get a chance to speak as her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"?!" Lin Xuanze was just about to burst into laughter when she collapsed in front of him. Her head hit the ground with a crisp yet hefty sound that turned his face pale.

His voice slightly trembling, feigning calmness with fear, he said, "Get up! Stop pretending to be dead!"

The person on the floor didn’t react. From this angle, he could even see the pallor of her face, and an inexplicable panic rose within him, making his legs feel weak, unsure of what to do.

He hurriedly went over and shook her, but there was no response.

Panicking, he shouted up the stairs, "Grandma, Sister Li, come quickly!"

Liu Lanfang had already gone to bed, but she awoke to his panicked shouts, appearing in the living room with Sister Li.

Lin Xiang arrived before them and, seeing Yun Yue unconscious and pale on the ground, hurried over.

"What happened? I just went to park the car, and she was fine. Why did she faint suddenly?" Lin Xiang quickly dialed 120, checking her condition, as her eyes rolled back.
