Chapter 358: Affronted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yan Ruo seemed to be a gentle and refined person who was easy to get along with. He seemed to be gentle to everyone and everything, but gentleness was a useless quality in the Yan family.

Yan Yue often returned to the Yan family’s main residence and interacted with the direct descendants of the Yan family since she was also a relative. She had always felt that it was very rare for Yan Ruo to be able to maintain such gentleness and clarity of mind.

She had almost never seen Yan Ruo publicly defend or speak up for anyone in the Yan family. He seemed to always represent neutrality and mediation, and he had almost never argued or provoked any disputes with the other members of the Yan family.

In other words, everything Yan Ruo did was for the long term and for the big picture.

“l don’t think we need to be too close. Your father holds an important position in the headquarters, and I don’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings in front of everyone.”

This was what Yan Ruo had told her personally a few years ago. At that time, he was so calm and self-contained, and his rationale deeply fascinated her.

Today, he openly challenged Yan Yuan and questioned the birthday gift he had brought in front of everyone, Elder Mrs. Yan, the extended Yan family members, the entertainment industry’s celebrities, and the political world’s big shots.

This was something that would never happen on Yan Ruo. It was something that exceeded Yan Yue’s understanding of Yan Ruo.

Her fingers that were holding the wine glass were so tight that her fingertips were slightly white.

She was not someone who knew nothing about the Yan family. She was even more aware of the conflicts between Yan Ruo and Yan Yuan than many of those who were present, and she was even more aware of how Yan Ruo had strategized and endured in order to reach his current position.

All that Elder Mrs. Yan did was already a sign that she had completely handed over the power of the family head to Yan Ruo. She only lacked the opportunity to make it public.

It was also because of this that Yan Ruo, who did not have the position of the head of the family but had complete power of the position, stood at the heart of the struggle. His parents had no power to begin with, so many people around him were jealous and many wanted to take a piece of the pie from his hands.

Yan Ming and Yan Yuan must have done many things behind his back, and

Yan Yuan had even shown his malice in the open many times.

Was this not worth being even more careful?

Was Bai Lin that important to him that she was worth him having a conflict with Yan Yuan on such an occasion?

What would Elder Mrs. Yan think? What would the elders of the Yan family think? What would the senior executives of the Yan family’s companies think? What would the high society think?

Yan Yue was really affronted.

Yan Ruffs words could even shake his power and status. Would those seniors

in the company still trust him? Would they think that he was immature, irrational, and difficult to take on great responsibilities by opposing his second brother for a woman?

Would the people who supported him in the past change sides?

Yan Yue did not dare to think about the consequences.

‘Which part of Bai Lin is worthy of Yan Ruo? Why’s he willing to go to such lengths for her? Where did I lose…’

Yan Yue’s vision gradually became blurry. She asked herself repeatedly in her heart, but she could not get an answer in the end.

The Bai family was nothing in front of the Yan family. What if Bai Lin was Ella? What benefits could Yan Ruo get from protecting Bai Lin like that? Could she even help him in his career and in his power struggle?

No! She was not even able to help with anything!

“Second Young Master Yan was the one behind Fourth Young Master’s disappearance this time. Those people are directly related to Second Young

Master. It was also Second Young Master Yan who was behind the incident in Traveler.’

This was the news reported by Yan Yue’s people.

Even though she could not find out more, it was enough to make her apprehensive.

Bai Lin dared to embarrass Yan Yuan openly in such a banquet, which would certainly infuriate him. Yan Ruo speaking up for Bai Lin would only further enrage Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan was eight years older than Yan Ruo, and had always been a ruthless character.

If this incident caused Yan Yuan to attack Yan Ruo again, would Yan Ruo still be able to escape unscathed like before?

It was all Bai Lin’s fault…

If anything happened to Yan Ruo because of this, she would definitely not let this woman off!

Yan Yue turned her head, her long hair covering the intense killing intent and hatred in her eyes..
