It was the same usual threat that she had given Yu Zheng Tong various times in the past. If it was when Kang Mao Lan still had the share that was valuable, Yu Zheng Tong would listen to her more. But now that he was feeling extremely tired and knew that he might not even keep his company anymore, he simply passed a look at his wife but said nothing.
"Yu…"
"Why do you even come to the party, Kang Mao Lan?" Yu Zheng Tong spat out and then walked away. He was already feeling so repressed that he couldn't even do anything else right now.
Kang Mao Lan was so enraged that she nearly stomped her legs in public. She always showed her temper when they were at home and never hid the fact that she had bad temper in front of Yu Zheng Tong. All this time, he would always coax her and let her do whatever she wanted to do.
But today, she had just realized something: Yu Zheng Tong had a temper too.
"Damn, annoying man!"
Cursing a few more words, Kang Mao Lan returned back into the party. She was so annoyed that she wished that she could find some of her old friends to talk about some matters and also have them helped her.
Yu Yan watched from the sides as her father ventured into the crowd once more. She looked at her husband. "His temper had flared up."
"It's hard to keep one's feeling in check and with his world falling apart, do you still hope for him to keep his view straight and tolerated such a woman?" Long Ying shook his head. it was an impossible request.
He looked at his wife and added, "Do you want to help him?"
"No."
Yu Yan's answer was firm. She still could remember many things from the time when she was young to the time when she grew up. The wonderful time she had with her father was limited to the time when she was still very young. At that time, he willingly brought her to many places just to entertain her.
In her eyes, he was the best father in the world.
But when he started to give her cold shoulder because he was busy and her mother started to ask him to not care about her, she could remember her father's face at that time. He looked at her with hollow and indifferent expression before pushing her away.
The young her didn't understand it but when she was older, she understood.
He no longer regarded her as his daughter anymore from the moment her mother ordered him to do so. From that moment, her father had died and her mother had also died. She didn't have any parents anymore and even now, she didn't have any.
They were no longer suited to even carry the name.
Right now, Yu Yan couldn't give him any chance anymore. He was already too late, too late by two decades. She was already an adult and there was no need for a father figure in her life anymore.
"Alright, if that's what you want." Long Ying silently rubbed Yu Yan's hand tender and brought her hand to his lips.
Yu Yan was stunned. She glared at him. "We're in public."
"You're my wife."
"You'll attract a lot of enemies if you keep on showing PDA."
Long Ying merely smiled. He no longer cared that much about what other people thought when they saw them. Besides, being stared at for no reasons at all was something that was extremely common for him. Flaunting his love was something that he didn't mind doing all the time.
Yu Yan shook her head and walked inside. She checked the clock and noticed that it was still a few minutes before New Year. The people there were gathering around and it seemed that they were also waiting for Long Family to start the countdown.
She was about to find a corner when her eyes caught the sight of Yu Xin and Bao Tu. The two of them were dressed lavishly and looked elegant. However, the tired expression on their faces were quite clear. It seemed that they were unable to rest properly because of their problems.
"They're hiding it well." Yu Yan thought when she saw them.
Long Ying narrowed his eyes. "That woman is pregnant."
"Eh?" Yu Yan was stunned but she saw Long Ying nodded his head. She blinked her eyes and felt that Yu Xin's timing was really bad. Problems have just cropped out at Bao Gold Family Company and yet she was expecting a child.
When she was trying hard to get pregnant to tie Bao Tu with her, she couldn't get one even after trying for a long time. On the other hand, when problems started to crop out and threatening to destroy her life, Yu Xin instead got pregnant, which make it difficult for her to go through with whatever she originally planned.
"Do you want to greet them?" Long Ying asked.
Yu Yan shook her head silently. She had no intention to bother with Yu Xin as long as the other party didn't try to create trouble for her. It was already more than enough that her childhood days were spent with her feeling aggrieved because of what Yu Xin and her own parents.
There was no need for her to torture herself even more just because of that matter and bothered with that annoying woman anymore.
"Alright."
Long Ying would also not bother with Yu Xin's life without Yu Yan's consent. But of course, there would be still some undercurrent that occurred under the tide that he would not say to her.
While Yu Yan saw Yu Xin and ignored the other party, Yu Xin obviously also saw Yu Yan. Her eyes blazed with hatred when she saw Yu Yan's back. Oh how much Yu Xin wished that she could step forward and clawed Yu Yan for making things turn back to her.
If not because Yu Yan's husband exhorting a lot of money from her husband, she knew that the situation wouldn't be this dire.
No company was willing to offer their collaboration to Bao Gold Family Company, making it increasingly difficult for Bao Tu to keep up with the demands' rate that was cropping up from time to time.
