Chapter 991 It was clearly your Yan family that harmed her.
"Heh..." A barely audible sneer escaped Yan Bei's throat, carrying endless sorrow and mockery.
He slowly raised his hand, brought the cigarette to his lips, and took a deep drag. The pungent nicotine instantly filled his lungs, causing a violent cough, but it also calmed his almost boiling blood a little.
He stubbed out the cigarette with such force that it seemed he wanted to crush the ember along with something in his heart into the crystal ashtray.
The knuckles turned white from the exertion, and the veins on the back of the hand became visible.
Finally, he slowly leaned back in his chair, his deep eyes like frozen pools, gazing out the window at the illusory prosperity.
The magnificent skyscrapers outside, though reflected in his eyes, held no warmth, only a desolate, lifeless emptiness.
Years of understanding crumbled; kinship, reverence, family honor... all became a huge irony.
After a while.
Only his heavy, suppressed breathing remained in the office, isolated from the distant city noise outside the window, forming an airtight cage that trapped him in this sudden, chilling truth.
His eyes were as cold as the Siberian wind, and the low pressure emanating from him could almost freeze the air.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Yang Jian walked in.
Seeing that Yan Bei looked unhappy, she quickly asked, "Young Master Yan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Yan Bei did not respond.
Yang Jian knew that Young Master Yan must be in a terrible mood right now.
So she didn't dare ask any more questions, and quietly put down the documents she was going to show Yan Bei before leaving.
As Yang Jian walked out of Yan Bei's office, he muttered, "Young Master Yan, what's wrong? I haven't seen Young Master Yan in such a bad mood in a long time. He should stay away from us, or he'll be in trouble."
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Yan Jiangshan and Yang Juan arrived at Liu Shaohua's residence.
"Why are you here?" Liu Shaohua asked.
Yan Jiangshan curled the corners of his lips. "Did you see Yan Bei?"
"Yan Jiangshan, did I see Yan Bei break the law? Do I need you to interrogate me like this?"
“Seeing him isn’t illegal, but you said things you shouldn’t have to him, and that’s wrong of you,” Yan Jiangshan said seriously.
"Yan Jiangshan, I don't know what you're talking about? What is it that you shouldn't say?"
Yan Jiangshan curled the corners of his lips. "Did you tell Yan Bei the truth about his mother's death?"
Liu Shaohua smiled. "Yan Jiangshan, shouldn't Yan Bei already know about this? Did he need me to tell him?"
“If you don’t tell him, no one will.”
“That’s right, that’s what I said. He has the right to know about this. Why are you keeping it from him? His mother’s death was caused by your Yan family.”
"Shut up," Yan Jiangshan said sternly. "What's it to you?"
“Whether it’s related or not, is what your father did right? Otherwise, Xiao Bei’s mother wouldn’t have died. What did your Yan family take her for? Why did you hurt her when you were family?” Liu Shaohua said.
Yan Jiangshan paused, "Do you think I wanted this to happen? I knew it at the time. I only found out later. If it happened even once, I definitely wouldn't let Xiao Bei's mother leave me."
Liu Shaohua curled the corners of his lips and looked at Yang Juan standing to the side. "Her death doesn't seem to have affected you much. Haven't you found a new partner?"
"I was heartbroken when Xiao Bei's mother passed away. No normal person would be heartbroken forever! More than ten years have passed, and any normal person should have let go by now."
"Yes, you've let it go, but I still haven't. I know I'm the one who wronged Xiuhua. If I hadn't done those messy things back then, Xiuhua would definitely be with me. She wouldn't have died."
"Liu Shaohua, what's the use of saying all this now? Why did Xiuhua marry me back then? Because you weren't worthy of her love at all."
Liu Shaohua smirked, "Your Yan family are murderers. Did you think you could keep it from Yan Bei? He must be heartbroken to know that his grandfather killed his mother!"
"Liu Shaohua, my family's affairs are none of your business. Let me tell you, from now on, you should stay out of the Yan family's business," Yan Jiangshan said.
"Yan Jiangshan, is this what you came to me about today?"
Yan Jiangshan stood up. "Let me tell you, I was also very saddened by Xiuhua's death, but this matter ends here. If you hadn't told Yan Bei about this, I wouldn't have come to find you."
"Yan Jiangshan, does your son not want to talk to you anymore?"
"Liu Shaohua, I'll say it again, mind your own business in our family."
"Ha! I don't care at all. I just want Yan Bei to know what he needs to know."
Yan Jiangshan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Liu Shaohua. "Let me tell you, this is the first and last time. If you interfere in the affairs of our Yan family again, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, Yan Jiangshan stood up and said to Yang Juan, "Let's go."
After Yan Jiangshan left, Liu Shaohua curled the corners of his mouth, "Let the father and son fight amongst themselves for a while! This is going to be a good show."
Yan Jiangshan at this time.
Got in the car.
He let out a long sigh. "It seems that Liu Shaohua really did tell Xiao Bei about this."
"Jiang Shan, don't worry. I'll talk to Xiao Bei for you, and he'll definitely understand."
“He’s different from other kids; he’s quite individualistic and won’t forgive me so easily. I understand how he feels,” Yan Jiajiangshan said.
"Alright, don't think about it anymore. You're not feeling well, taking care of yourself is the most important thing," Yang Juan comforted her.
Yan Jiangshan nodded. He sighed, "After all these years, it still couldn't be kept a secret. This is something I expected. I wonder when Xiao Bei will stop caring about this."
Yang Juan grabbed Yan Jiangshan's hand, "Give him some time, after all, this happened quite suddenly."
"Okay, fine!" Yan Jiangshan closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, looking dejected.
Yang Juan didn't say anything more. She knew there was nothing she could do about it; it was complicated. All she could do was offer some comfort to Yan Jiangshan.
She didn't know exactly what had happened before. But she believed what Yan Jiangshan said. She believed in his character; he must have been kept in the dark at first.
She understood Yan Bei's feelings; anyone would be heartbroken in this situation. One was his grandfather, the other his mother—family members had harmed each other. Even as an outsider, she found it hard to comprehend.
What she had to do was to resolve the conflict between Yan Bei and Yan Jiangshan.
