Chapter 74, The Wedding

Yansheng has always been tight-lipped about his mother's affairs, never daring to utter a single word.

“It’s true,” Yansheng sighed. “She really is my mother.”

"The old man never married, but he was never short of women when he was young."

"Whether she's climbing into his bed for money or genuinely loves him, he'll accept her either way."

"To prevent women from coveting a higher position, his principle was to remove the mother and keep the child. Once a woman gave birth, she had to leave the Yan family forever and could not see her own child."

“My mother was forced to leave the Yan family and go to the M country after giving birth to me, and she has been living abroad all these years.”

Wen Hanyun still couldn't believe it and shook her head. "Then why did you never tell me?"

"So, you went on a business trip... just to see her?"

“No, it was just a coincidence that I was going that way,” Yan Sheng shook his head, a hint of fatigue on his face. “In order to prevent the old man from knowing that I still have contact with my mother, I rarely go abroad to see her. Otherwise, it would be easy to be discovered.”

“I sent her money because she has been living alone abroad all these years. Her father is irresponsible, but I need to give her someone to rely on.”

"I see..." Wen Hanyun nodded thoughtfully. "Then... how is your mother doing now?"

"You're in good health," Yan Sheng said, his mood brightening as he saw the gloom on Wen Hanyun's face dissipate. "My mother also said... she wants to meet my fiancée."

He pinched Wen Hanyun's earlobe. "I don't even dare let her know that you've unilaterally suspended my status as your fiancé."

"Yansheng..." Realizing she had made a big blunder, Wen Hanyun reached out to pinch him, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

Yan Sheng smiled and grabbed her mischievous hand. "Then, beautiful lady, would you be willing to reinstate my status as your fiancé?"

His lips gently pecked her hand, then his dark eyes slowly approached, seemingly possessing a bewitching power that caused her to gradually close her eyes.

A kiss, filled with pent-up emotions, lingered tenderly until Wen Hanyun's face flushed red, before he slowly released her, breathing heavily.

"Hanyun, when I'm discharged from the hospital, let's go visit Mom together, okay?"

“Okay…” Wen Hanyun nodded.

.

After returning to China, the two became busy again.

Yan Sheng's investigation led to the imprisonment of Yan Mingchong, who had been secretly plotting against him in Country Y.

The information Wen Hanyun possesses clearly accuses Yan Zhe of contracting HIV due to his promiscuous private life. This is enough to make Yan Zhe lose face in high society circles, lose any opportunity to cooperate with bigwigs, and naturally lose his status as one of the heirs of the Yan family.

Yan Chengyuan, who was already not a threat in Yan Sheng's eyes, lost the help of his eldest brother Yan Mingchong, and his only son Yan Zhe's life was completely ruined. He was like a fish about to die on the riverbank, struggling with his last bit of strength.

Just as he was trying to reveal all his cards and drag Yan Sheng down with him, the police seized his villa on charges of illegal fundraising.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the phone call that Wen Hanyun overheard in Y Country about Yan Zhe's conspiracy with him that Yan Sheng had already prepared for a counterattack.

He spread rumors that he had been shot abroad, which made Yan Chengyuan lower his guard.

Because of Yan Mingchong's selfish motives, he did not communicate with Yan Chengyuan in advance about this assassination attempt, leading Yan Chengyuan to mistakenly believe it was an accident.

In order not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he went all out and made a big move.

In fact, Yan Sheng received the news quickly and secretly returned to China ahead of time. He collected all the evidence of Yan Chengyuan's illegal fundraising and submitted it to the police, cooperating with them by providing family information and addresses of Yan Chengyuan's family.

Yan Chengyuan was detained in his villa, his residence was sealed off, and his illegal assets were inventoried on the spot.

This is what Yan's mother saw when she got home.

She returned from a gathering of her wealthy friends, having just gotten a new haircut and pampered herself with a makeover, dressed in jewels. As soon as the driver dropped her off at the villa, she found the door wide open.

Curious, she walked inside and saw a serious-looking police officer handcuffing her husband.

Hearing that Yan Chengyuan would be in prison for at least four years, she suddenly aged more than ten years, and all the youth she had maintained through decades of skincare was completely wiped out...

To make matters worse, the housekeeper called and said that Old Master Yan knew that Yan Zhe had contracted AIDS. In order to save face for the Yan family, he forbade them from appearing in public as members of the Yan family and from attending family banquets at the old house.

Isn't this just a disguised way of kicking them out?

It's over, everything is ruined for their family.

Yan's mother was helpless, because she was always just an appendage, a vase cultivated specifically for a marriage alliance. Once her husband lost his aura of wealth, she would no longer have any value.

After clearing away all the debris, Yansheng's career progressed smoothly.

With the support of the Qin family and Weiland, his reputation within the Yan family and the entire business circle has now reached the level of Old Master Yan and Master Qin back in the day, and there are even signs that he may surpass them...

After Wen Hanyun's return, the MOON'HEART band, just as everyone expected, quickly became popular both at home and abroad. With their talent of making one hit song after another, they quickly rose to become the newest band with the highest daily average sales in recent years.

The marriage of Wen Hanyun and Yan Sheng complemented their already outstanding careers. Wen Hanyun's status as a wealthy fiancée caused the band's popularity to soar, and also boosted the stock price of the Yan Group.

.

Today is the wedding day of Wen Hanyun and Yansheng.

There weren't many guests. Besides Wen Hanyun's parents and Grandpa Yan, there were also the two's closest friends.

During the ceremony of kowtowing to both sets of parents, the couple had just finished serving tea to the old man when an unexpected woman appeared.

Her distinctive burgundy wavy hair made Wen Hanyun recognize her immediately.

Wen Hanyun truly never expected that the invitation Yansheng had given her to visit her mother back then would be fulfilled at their wedding!

Happy wedding.

She stepped forward, took their hands, and then clasped them together.

"Auntie..." Wen Hanyun blushed deeply, recalling the misunderstanding.

"Silly girl, it's time to change how you address me." The woman affectionately pinched Wen Hanyun's nose.

"mom......"

"Hey." She responded with a smile, walked to Yansheng's side, accepted the tea offered by the two newlyweds, and gracefully avoided glancing at the old man.

Wen's mother cried uncontrollably at the scene, and even Wen's father, who was usually somewhat materialistic, had tears welling up in his eyes...

Their daughter, who has grown from a tiny little thing into a beautiful young woman, is about to be entrusted to another man.

The two exchanged rings and kissed amidst applause and screams.

Yan Sheng's fingers caressed Wen Hanyun's ring finger, which was adorned with a ring. He leaned close to her ear and whispered with a laugh, "Hanyun, after planning for so long, I've finally got you wrapped around my little finger..."
