Chapter 328 - Tattle

Translator: Lonelytree

After Yan Yiging heard his son’s words, he was silent for a moment before he asked faintly, “So what? Even if that cow belongs to your friend, we don’t have to rob it. We can just buy it directly. Isn’t that enough?”

When Yan Siming heard this, he frowned and was silent for a moment.

Businessmen valued profits!

Their family was not short of money, but no one would complain about having too much money.

‘When his father heard about this good thing, naturally, he would want it.

Yan Siming was silent for a moment before he said, “Dad, how much do you think you will pay to buy the Little Cattle King?”

Yan Yiqing was stunned for a moment before he thought about it and said, “Let’s make it three million!” At this point, he suddenly reacted. “This is not right. You said that the owner is your friend? What kind of friend is this? Why would your friend be a farmer?”

He remembered what Liao Guohui told him. The owner of the cow was just an ordinary farmer. She didn’t have any special background or connections.

Yan Yiqing believed Liao Guohui. After all, the man must have done an investigation lest he offended someone he shouldn’t.

However, after he chatted with his son, Yan Yiging was suspicious. Yan Siming was a City Z dignity. Why would he be friends with a country bumpkin?

Yan Siming said, “Dad, my friend who grows strawberries, used to work in a big company in City Z. But for some other reason, she left City Z and went back to her hometown to farm.”

Hearing his son’s explanation, Yan Yiqing still felt that something was wrong. He frowned and asked with confusion, “Then what made your friend leave City Z?* Without waiting for Yan Siming’s answer, Yan Yiging added, “No, wait. Yan Siming, is your friend a man or a woman?”

Yan Siming’s eyes flashed, and then he said indifferently, “It’s a woman!”

“A woman” Yan Yiqing thought of something and then asked seriously, “Half a year ago, didn’t you buy a big company in City Z? It’s the Huiqing Group. You made the purchase for a woman.”

“Yes!” Yan Siming answered lightly, “Dad, do you have anything else to ask?”

Yan Yiging was slightly stunned. A moment later, she said in a serious and sharp tone, “Yan Siming, this woman made you go crazy and acquire a big company.

“Tt seems like this woman has a special relationship with you. I heard from Liao Guohui that you demanded he withdraws his investment from Taoyuan Village. Is that correct?”

“Yes!”

Yan Siming’s expression became gloomy and cold.

Yan Siming secretly gritted his teeth.

“This Liao Guogui is really cunning. I’ve just warned him, and he instantly went to find my father to plead for mercy!

“This is more than that. He found protection from my father! Once the Yan Family agrees to cooperate with Liao Guihui, I won’t be able to stop him anymore.

“So, tell me, what exactly is the relationship between you and that woman?” Yan Yiging asked sharply with a frown, “Also, when I heard you and your grandfather quarreling, you two mentioned Taoyuan Village and Xiao Lingyu a lot. So is your friend Xiao Lingyu”

“Yes!” Yan Siming said lightly, “Xiao Lingyu isn’t my ordinary female friend either, but the woman I want to pursue.”

“What?” Yan Yiging was shocked, “You want to pursue this woman?” However, he was confused, “But why would you quarrel with your grandfather about this? Our family doesn’t care about backgrounds when it comes to marriage. As long as her family is clean, we will welcome her at any time.”

The Yan Family was already powerful enough. They didn’t need to rely on political marriage to stabilize the Yan family’s power.

Yan Siming didn’t answer his father. Instead, he thought for a while and tried to persuade him, “Dad, I advise you and Liao Guohui to stop the development of Taoyuan Village because you will never succeed!”

Gong Tianhao was at Taoyuan Village. If the villagers of Taoyuan Village didn’t want to move… if Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to move, Gong Tianhao would do anything to please her. Once Gong Tianhao had decided upon that, no one could do anything to Taoyuan Village.

Yan Siming’s persuasion confused Yan Yiging.

He asked, “Son, are you trying to stop us?”

“No!” Yan Siming said truthfully, “Dad, if you don’t want to fall here, then stop working with Liao Guohui immediately. Otherwise, you will lose everything.”

“Son…” Yan Yiqing was even more confused. He was about to ask for more, but the call was hung up. Yan Yiqing frowned after his son hung up on him. He then made a call.

“Liao Guohui, I want to ask you. Did you encounter any problem when you tried to develop Taoyuan Village?” Yan Yiqing asked directly.

‘Once he knew his company had risen back from the dead, Liao Guohui went to find his lover to enjoy himself.

‘While he was flirting with his lover, he received a call from Yan Yiqing. It caused his heart to tense up.

He said nervously and carefully, “Problems? Of course not!”

“Really?” Yan Yiging expressed his doubt.

Liao Guohui said, “Master Yan, I already told you the problem I encountered. Chairman Yan asked me to stop developing Taoyuan Village, or he’d make me go bankrupt.”

After saying this, he paused for a moment and rolled his eyes. Then, he carefully asked, “Master Yan, did I offend Chairman Yan in some way? I heard… I heard… that he did this because of a woman.

“But, L… I really didn’t know that one of his girlfriends was in Taoyuan Village. Otherwise, no matter how bold I am, I wouldn’t dare to go against Chairman Yan, much less gamble with the livelihood of the employees of my company.

“Master Yan, this news is devastating for my employees. They kept crying once they found out. They couldn’t believe Chairman Yan would destroy their lives for the sake of a random fling…”

Liao Guohui spoke very carefully, but he didn’t forget to slander Yan Siming.

Yan Siming’s philandering was well-known in City Z.

The speed at which he changed girlfriends was like changing clothes. Sometimes, he could change them within a day.

Liao Guohui understood philandering men. He believed that Yan Siming was not really going to bankrupt his company for a woman, and that was just an excuse. He wanted to take over his company instead.

Yan Siming was going to make so many people lose their jobs and families for the sake of a fling. In short, Yan Siming was a tyrant.

‘When Yan Yiqing Heard Liao Guohui’s words, his eyes flashed.

He understood his own son. Yan Siming wouldn’t lose his temper like this over a fling.

On top of that, after Yan Siming took over the Yan Family business, their business soared by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, the Yan family never interfered with Yan Siming’s control and strategic planning of the Yan Group.

Yan Siming had the final say in every decision of the company.

However, someone was complaining to him about his son. The Yan Family always looked after their own. Therefore, Yan Yigin was very unhappy.

He warned in a deep voice, “Liao Guohui, what my son does and what he should do is none of your business. Plus, he forbade you from developing Taoyuan Village because his friend is the owner of the Little Cattle King, Xiao Lingyu!”

“What?” Liao Guohui was stunned, ‘How can there be such a coincidence?’

“So, when he found out that you were going to demolish Taoyuan Village, shouldn’t he protect his friend?” Yan Yiqing said coldly.

“Of… of course…” Liao Guohui’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

“Also, Liao Guohui, in the future, I don’t want to hear you slander my son’s name again!” Yan Yiging said coldly, “Or this cooperation is over!”

‘This man wants me to question my son for some money? Is he crazy?”
