Chapter 40: The Yun Family’s Current Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Zhen was brought to a private room above the venue by Su Yan and Shi Qing. Yun Zhen politely did not say anything about the rather luxurious private room. He quietly found a place to sit down and smiled at Su Yan and Shi Qing.
After a moment, he sighed. “Your relationship is as good as ever.”
“You know?”
Yun Zhen nodded and took out a photo from his phone. It was a little girl who was drooling. “Sister Yun Xi looked good when she was young. Now that she’s grown up, she looks even better. I’ve kept all of her photos.” As if he thought of something fun, Yun Zhen continued, “When you were young, Third Uncle bought a piece of stinky tofu. You thought it was too smelly and hid it in Grandpa’s closet with Third Brother. I remember it very clearly.”
Looking at Yun Zhen’s expression, he did not look like the kind of person who wished for her to die so that he could get her father’s inheritance.
After Yun Zhen reminisced for a while, he sighed faintly. “Alright, I’m going to talk about serious matters now.”
Su Yan’s body trembled as she thought, Here it comes.
“Yun Xi, since you already know your identity, then quickly return to the Yun Family with me. Right now, the Yun Family’s situation… isn’t too good.” Yun Zhen’s voice was very low. Under Su Yan’s surprised gaze, he continued, “The Yun family is currently being attacked from both sides. The younger generation in the family are unable to make ends meet. Sigh, it’s also troublesome.”
Yun family?
Enemies from both sides?
Su Yan and Shi Qing looked at each other. This was different from what they had previously thought. What was going on with the Yun family?
“Ever since Great-Grandpa passed away, Grandpa took over as the head of the Yun family. However, Grandpa has no ambition, and his methods are not as straightforward as Great-Grandpa’s. The higher-ups of the Yun family have also left behind many historical problems. It can’t be helped, Grandpa can only let the Yun family not decline, but it’s impossible to advance further.
“He was waiting to see which son will grow up first so that he can take over his position.” Yun Zhen sighed again. “It’s a pity that as the eldest son, my father has no interest in the family business at all. He spends all his time in the entertainment industry. Second Uncle is resourceful and cunning. It’s a pity that he was schemed against and died young.”
Yun Zhen’s second uncle was Su Yan’s biological father, Yun family’s Yun Yi. From Yun Zhen’s regretful tone, it wasn’t hard to tell that Yun Zhen and Yun Yi’s relationship was quite good.
“Second Uncle is elegant and handsome. I really don’t understand why someone would harm him.” Yun Zhen continued, “Third Uncle wanted to inherit it, but his methods aren’t good. He’s not born for business, so Grandpa can only continue to hold on for these few years and wait for our generation to grow up.”
After coming out from his sorrow, Yun Zhen smiled again. “It’s a good thing that I’ve found you now. In the future, if we work together, we will definitely be able to return the Yun Family to its peak.”
“Isn’t the status of the Yun family high enough?” Su Yan looked at Yun Zhen, trying to see some flaws in his expression. Unfortunately, the sincerity on Yun Zhen’s face made Su Yan find it hard to imagine that this person would lie to her because he coveted money.
Seemingly very happy that Su Yan would take the initiative to ask questions about the Yun family, the smile on Yun Zhen’s face became even warmer. “Although the Yun family is ranked second, they have no successors. It’s like a pavilion in the air, unable to last long.”
Yun Zhen turned to look at Shi Qing, whose eyes were unfocused. “If the Yun family is powerful, then the car accident that happened to Shi Qing will not happen a second time.”
As soon as he said this, Shi Qing’s expression turned cold. “It will never happen again.”
Yun Zhen did not insist and nodded along with Shi Qing. “Yes, it won’t happen a second time, but it’s inevitable that something else will happen. In the past few years, you’ve experienced many assassination attempts, big and small. Do you want my sister to experience all these with you in the future?”
Shi Qing immediately fell silent. It was indeed not safe to be by his side. His identity and his body proved that he could not live a peaceful life like a normal person.
Realizing that Shi Qing was not at ease, Su Yan reached out to hold Shi Qing’s hand, which was bulging with veins, and stroked it comfortingly. “It’s okay, believe me.” Then, she turned to look at Yun Zhen. “If I return to the Yun family, what are you going to do next?”
Yun Zhen lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, “Take over the work in Grandpa’s hands and then deal with all the higher-ups of the Yun Family.” Yun Zhen did not want to tolerate those uncles who were clinging to their post without doing any work and not let other people take it.
“And then? If you deal with the higher-ups of the Yun family one by one, the rest would have been prepared by then.” Su Yan tucked away the hair that had fallen in front of her eyes. “If the entire higher-ups of the Yun family were dealt with together, the Yun family would definitely be in chaos. The gains would not make up for the losses.”
She thought that Yun Zhen would be worried about this, but who would have expected Yun Zhen’s eyes to light up. He looked at Su Yan as if he was looking at an immortal.
“Then Sister Yun Xi, do you have any good ideas?”
Su Yan choked.. She did have a way, but why would Yun Zhen ask her? But looking at Yun Zhen’s sparkling eyes, she could not bring herself to reject him.
