Chapter 217 - Time Skip

Long Shao Huai will never make a move unless he was absolutely sure. If he didn't have definite evidence to bring Long Shu Ting down, there was no use to just cast suspicion.

"What if your third brother sell you out?"

"Him? He didn't even care about Long Family and since I didn't do anything, I don't think he'll even bother to put forth fake evidences." Long Shu Ting shook his head.

Zhou Xi An looked at her husband and simply sighed. She really didn't understand why this simple family had to be so complicated. 

…

Time passed swiftly.

Yu Yan didn't specifically pay more attention to Long Family but it was really impossible to miss the news. The newspaper practically hyped up about the death of Second Young Master of Long Family. He was involved in a gang's fight and ended up dying because of a shot to his forehead.

Long Shao Huai expressed that he loathed his son because of what he did as it had tarnished the family's name. In the end, the body was cremated and the ashes was scattered to the sea.

This piece of news become the sensation in City A for some time that almost everyone talked about it. Any other news, even those related to top celebrity was pushed down because of this. After all, this meant that the next family head of Long Family was already decided.

Long Shu Ting himself didn't show himself in many places. He expressed that he was hurt by his brother's action and thus will temporarily refuse any media that came to him.

Long Ying sneered at this. "He's just acting."

Yu Yan didn't know what the real relationship between the three brothers were, so she didn't want to jump into conclusion. She merely the spectator in this large scale drama that involved the entire city.

After the matter of Long Family passed, Yu Yan also received news from her talkative cousin that he had managed to buy the store and thus it was time for renovation and all. For that matter, Yu Yan passed it all completely to her little cousin.

She also got news that both Kang Mao Yao and Lei Huan were imprisoned. They would have to stay behind the bars for decades because of their crime. Even after asking for leniency, the result was still more than a decade.

The two of them lost hope.

On the other hand, Lei Xing Yi looked more relieved. When her parents were finally released from prison, she would have already settled everything that was necessary. They wouldn't be able to do anything to her anymore.

Kang San Hao was also engaged and invited a lot of people from military to come over for his engagement party. Yu Yan came and met with his wife, who was also very beautiful. Just like what Kang San Hai told her, she was a soldier and was also a lieutenant.

It seemed that they got close due to some missions when they were placed together.

Of course, after the party, Xiao Han Yu berated her second son for not getting married yet. He was only a few years younger than his older brother and yet he didn't even have a girlfriend.

The five of them (Kang San Hao, Kang San Hao's wife, Yu Yan, Long Ying, and Lei Xing Yi) then watched as Xiao Han Yu beat her second son with the feather duster. They all simply laughed as they knew that it would take some time for the famous Kang Family playboy to settle down.

Oh, right Yu Xin was not present during the engagement party because she was facing some troubles with her own family. Xiao Han Yu invited her but Yu Xin told her that she could not come.

Since neither one of them was in good relationship with her, they also didn't try to force her to come. In any case, they were relieved that they didn't have to meet with her. 

After the engagement party, Yu Yan spent most of her days working in the company and also staying at home. Sometimes, she would pay a visit to Dragon Clan base and helped Long Ying a bit, mostly to check their account book. 

Yu Yan thought that the days would pass quietly without any remarkable events. However, An Luo and San Xia asked for a long leave.

As for the reason….

"How many months?" Yu Yan looked at San Xia with suspicion. Over the past few days, An Luo had been treating San Xia with extreme care and even took the initiative to beat An Lin when the brat provoked his wife. That way, San Xia didn't have to move in the slightest bit.

If it was in the past, An Luo would have beaten up An Lin with his wife, so Yu Yan definitely recognized this peculiarity.

San Xia's face turned strange. "Uh, Madam, I…."

"Don't lie. I can clearly see that you're pregnant." Yu Yan rolled her eyes. She knew that they were trying to hide the matter from her because they were afraid that she would be jealous. However, she was not that petty. 

Even if she also long for a child, she would not be angry if her husband's subordinate were to have children. It was their business not hers.

"Two months," An Luo was honest.

Yu Yan tilted her head. No wonder that there was still no sign at all. "In that case, you have to be careful. The first three months are the most volatile stage."

"I will!" San Xia clenched her fist and made vow. The child was actually a little bit of an accident when she was exercising with An Luo but thinking about it, she was already over 30, so it was also time for her to settle down.

An Luo then looked at Long Ying. "Boss, is it possible for us to move to work more behind the scenes and not much dangerous work?"

Long Ying squinted his eyes. "Take care of the base in the Capital City."

"Yes, Boss!"

Right now, Long Ying and Yu Yan were staying in City A. They only stayed in the capital city before because Yu Yan worked in Zhang Corporation.. After she quitted, there was no need for them to stay there anymore.
