Chapter 88 - Night Talk

It took Yu Yan a few hours to finish looking at the first book. By then, the number had reached several hundred millions of yuan and Long Shao Han was so agitated that he directly left. It seemed that he wouldn't return back home anymore for the day.

"I didn't know that you actually deal with so much money." Yu Yan glanced at Long Ying.

"Long Family standing is not any lower than Zhang Family," Long Ying responded simply.

Not any lower than Zhang Family?

Yu Yan then recalled that Feng Mian once showed to her the ranking of the most influential and richest family in the nation. If she was not wrong, Zhang Family was placed at 10 and Feng Mian was already feeling enormous pressure. However, back then, she actually told her that she didn't know whether the ranking only calculate Zhang Liang's family or it also included their long distance relative.

As for Long Family… wait, was there any Long Family in the ranking?

Since she didn't really care about that ranking, Yu Yan didn't pay any attention. She silently took out her phone while she made her way back to the bedroom and searched for the ranking that Feng Mian showed to her.

The name Long Family immediately attracted her attention.

Eight place?

Yu Yan was speechless. Looking at the family name that was written there, she was absolutely sure that it was the same as Long Ying since she was very familiar with how his name was written. But never in her wildest dream would she think of associating this powerful family with Long Ying.

She never saw him wore branded clothes and he didn't have chauffeur. Not to mention, he was a troublemaker who kept on making trouble in the past.

When Long Ying walked out of the bathroom, he noticed his wife was staring at him. "What is it, Yan'er?"

"Are you really related to that Long Family?"

Long Family that was famous was a family that was mainly based in City A. It was a large corporation that basically could control the economy of the entire city and influence the other cities that had its business. In other words, Long Family was the overlord in City A.

They also had a branch in the Capital City but their family members mostly spend their time in City A. Challenging those who had deep roots in the Capital City would be too difficult.

"Yes."

"Really?" Yu Yan was surprised. She might not know much about the business world but her grandfather did tell her a bit about Long Family. From what she knew, Long Family only had two young masters and neither one of them as named Long Ying. There were indeed some rumors that there was the third young master of Long Family but no one had ever seen him, so the rumor had long died out.

Long Ying nodded. "What do you know about Long Family?"

"I only know it's a family with the main business lies in firearms. It's also the best weapons' supplier for military and had several other businesses." Yu Yan paused. "Is the firearms had some relation with Dragon Clan?"

"Dragon Clan is basically the subsidiary of Long Family and we deal on the dangerous underworld dealings. At the same time, we're also the one who controls the flow of weapon in and out on the street." Long Ying's eyes flashed a bit when he told Yu Yan about this.

He didn't really want her to know about this, but she would surely know sooner or later. After all, he wouldn't be able to hide his marriage forever from his parents and he would have to bring Yu Yan to meet with them later.

The information was indeed a lot and it took Yu Yan some time before she could digest everything. "If it's the subsidiary of Long Family, it means that everything that happens in Dragon Clan has to be in line with what Long Family desire?"

"Yes."

"And to make sure that you'll never betray them…"

"Dragon Clan Head has to be from the main lineage but we're also people who could never inherit the position of the head." Long Ying looked at Yu Yan deeply. "What do you think when you see my uncle?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have something you want to ask?"

"Ah, I did think that you look like the splitting image of your uncle." Yu Yan paused for a bit. "I'm also wondering whether everyone from your family had silver pupil."

She had only met with Long Ying and his uncle but never his parents or siblings. Because of that, she didn't know whether it was genetic or just some people in their family who were actually different from each other.

Long Ying showed a smile. "Not everyone from the Long Family had silver pupil. If we all have silver pupil, I'm sure the media would have already hype it greatly."

Well, that was true.

The people from Long Family had appeared in the public and there was not a single one of them who had silver pupil. Even if there was any, it was more likely that the news was suppressed down and not let out unless it was necessary.

But thinking about what Long Ying said, Yu Yan asked carefully, "If you're related to the Long Family. The current Long Family Head is…"

"My father."

Yu Yan's eyes widened as she stared at Long Ying with disbelief. The Long Family Head, the one who was known to be a very talented person and an aloof person actually had a third son?

Long Ying could guess what Yu Yan was thinking. "I'm not a b*stard son. My father only has one wife and he's a loyal man. However, there's some tradition of our family that might not be that acceptable to the public."

"What kind of tradition?"

"I'll tell you at other times. You need to sleep." Long Ying pointed at the clock, which showed that it was already close to midnight.

Yu Yan pouted. She still wanted to know more about Long Ying's family but from the way it looked like, he was not willing to share more than this to her. However, just the fact that Long Ying was actually from an influential family already shocked her greatly.

"Come here." Long Ying pulled Yu Yan to his embrace as he lied down on the bed. His silver eyes were staring straight at the woman in his arms. "Why don't you tell me more about your family?"

"Don't you already investigate me?"

Yu Yan had seen how efficient the men in Dragon Clan worked, so she could guess that he must have already done background check. Besides, how would Long Ying let just any woman got close to him like this? He must have already finished his background check long before she even got close to him.

Long Ying pursed his lips. "I only know some basic information that's available to public. As for what actually happens inside your residence, I can only infer based on the readily available information."

Yu Yan looked up, her eyes locked gaze with Long Ying's silver eyes. The color was so beautiful that she refused to look away. Even in the darkness, the silver pupil perfectly reflected her figure in front of him. It was as if there was only her in his field of vision.

"I… have normal childhood." Yu Yan said slowly. "At least, until my sister entered elementary school and start to show her talent. At that time, it's clear that her stellar result attracted my parents' attention. Before I know it, they no longer pay much attention to me and then I began to stay with my grandfather a lot.

From elementary to junior high school, my home is where my grandfather is. He also taught me a lot of things and even played a lot with me."

"What do you learn from your grandfather?"

"Grandfather usually taught me things regarding business and also finance. I don't have any interest to build a company back then but my grandfather told me that the skill will be important because it can help me from getting scammed. Because of that, I learn a lot."

Yu Yan smiled bitterly. The young her was quite naïve as she believed her grandfather's word without second thought. Back then, she learned how to differentiate the number and also what was categorized as normal purchase and also the additional purchase that was done to cover up embezzlement.

He also gave her a lot of examples and showed her their report. Even now, she didn't understand how her grandfather could get so many examples. But thanks to those, she managed to learn what an ordinary child would never be able to learn in their young age.

"My grandfather wished for me to enter my uncle's company after I graduated from university, but since I can't enter management faculty, I ended up not entering his company. Grandfather didn't force me and let me stay in City F even though my parents disagree." Yu Yan yawned.

She knew that she was quite good at calculation because of her grandfather. After all, he had taught her a lot even though she was nothing more than a brat. 

Closing her eyes, Yu Yan snuggled closer to Long Ying. "And it's only thanks to him… I can live peacefully….zzz."
