“My dear, you only see the surface. The Yan family isn’t inactive; they did try, but found themselves powerless, so they gave up.” Qiao Qiao leaned against the flower wall, reaching out to pluck a rose and playing with it. “Because the Yan family doesn’t lack daughters, or rather, the Yan family doesn’t lack descendants. Yan Zimeng has a pair of twin sisters and a brother, and of course, there are even more cousins.”
"But even if she has a lot, she is still the daughter of the Yan family. It's inevitable that her parents are saddened by doing nothing."
Qiao Qiao chuckled and said, "Baby, what are children in those wealthy families? They're just tools to maintain favor or for marriage alliances. They're pampered when they're useful and discarded when they're no longer needed. Of course, that's not always the case, but that's how it is in most cases. That's why there are so many feuds among wealthy families."
Le Yao sighed, and had to admit that Qiao Qiao was right.
“Let me tell you more about the Yan family,” Qiao Qiao said, sitting down next to Le Yao. “That post online was right. The Yan family has always depended on the He family for survival. There are different levels of wealthy families. The He family, the Nangong family, and our Qiao family are all in the first tier… Yan Zimeng’s mother, Wen Yan, is best friends with He Rong. He Rong didn’t like Yan Chenggong, so she pushed Wen Yan to her. Later, Wen Yan gave birth to their eldest daughter, Yan Zimeng. He Rong felt a bit guilty about this, so she hoped her son could marry Yan Zimeng. But unfortunately, they didn’t get engaged, and you ended up getting the better deal…”
Le Yao pouted. Marrying Nangong Jue was a bargain for Han Binglan, but a hassle for her, Le Yao.
“The Yan family originally wanted to use Yan Zimeng to win over the He family and the Nangong family, but…” Qiao Qiao shrugged, “When she couldn’t win over Nangong Jue, she lost her effectiveness with the Yan family.”
"I heard about it when I went back this time. It seems that one of her younger sisters has gotten together with Fu Haikuo, who is Fu Yunshen's older brother. He will be the next head of the Fu family if things go as expected. If the Yan family and the Fu family form a marriage alliance, they will rise to a higher level."
“Yan Zimeng committed murder, the kind that could arouse public outrage. If the Yan family gets involved, they will be dragged down with it. So, all the Yan family can do is distance themselves.” Qiao Qiao said, handing over her phone. “Take a look. The Yan family already issued a statement yesterday.”
Le Yao took a look and saw that the Yan family had issued a statement saying that Yan Zimeng had left the Yan family three years ago, so the Yan family knew nothing about her current actions.
In short, it's about severing all ties completely.
"Although this is a bit cold-hearted, it is also a smart move, after all, Yan Zimeng was indeed determined to go abroad three years ago."
Le Yao nodded, this could be considered Yan Zimeng's own fault.
Next, Qiaoqiao explained to Leyao the relationships among the other prominent families in the capital, which were quite intricate and complex, with many things affecting the whole situation.
"Alright." Qiao Qiao stood up. "You'll gradually learn about these relationships once you go to the capital. Now, come with me."
Where are you going?
"Our shop is all renovated. Now we'll go inspect it, check on the staff, and finally discuss the opening." Qiaoqiao gestured for him to enter. "Then, Chef Han, please."
