However, it's no wonder Yan Yuan wouldn't be easily fooled!
Yan Yuan pulled the chair over and plopped down on it.
Despite being half a head shorter, the man's imposing presence and aura remained undiminished.
"Xiao Bo, tell me honestly, are you really planning to sever ties with us?"
His dark eyes were fixed on Yan Bo's face, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through him.
Few people can withstand Yan Bo's intense gaze, but Yan Bo is one of those few.
He met Yan Yuan's interrogative gaze and raised an eyebrow indifferently.
"Brother, I had no other choice, did I?"
Yan Yuan's face instantly filled with anger. "What do you mean you have no other choice?"
At this moment, Yan Yuan was like a raging fire, while Yan Bo remained as calm and gentle as ever, only his face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
“Brother, we’re all smart people. We’ve weighed the pros and cons, the potential consequences of moving forward or backward, and everything that’s going to happen. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to pretend we don’t know anything anymore. Maybe you think it’s okay to keep turning a blind eye and dragging this out. But my relationship with Xiaohuai can’t withstand this kind of dragging.”
Yan Yuan's anger intensified, probably because he was still furious. He raised his hand and threw a heavy punch.
Yan Bo thought he was going to hit him, so he was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously moved away a little.
Yan Yuan's fist did not strike him, but instead landed heavily on the bed.
"You!" Yan Yuan was furious, pointing a finger at Yan Bo, "You're talking to me like this because of a woman?"
When Tong Xiaohuai was mentioned, Yan Bo's face finally showed a hint of emotion.
"So what if it's for a woman? If your parents treated your assistant like that, could you stand it?"
Yan Yuan's expression also changed, "She's different..."
Yan Bo rarely showed a sneer, "Why do you all think that your women are different from others, and that my woman has to be vulgar and undesirable to you? Brother, you're just luckier than me!"
After saying this, Yan Bo closed his eyes slightly, revealing a tired expression on his face.
"Brother, I've already made my stance clear, so there's no need for any of you to try to persuade me! As for my injury, don't tell Mom and Dad, so they won't worry."
A flash of anger crossed Yan Yuan's eyes, but perhaps Yan Bo had made his point too clear, so he couldn't afford to lose his temper.
He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the anger in his heart.
"You're worried they'll be concerned? You're already causing them a lot of trouble!"
Yan Bo stared at him, "Brother, I'm sorry! If I could turn back, I would have done so long ago."
In the past, Yanbo would always scoff at films that depicted love at first sight.
But life taught him a harsh lesson.
Falling in love at first sight sounds like a tired trope from a romantic movie, but that's exactly what happened to him.
With just one glance, he abandoned the sense of gain and loss that one should have as the young master of the Yan family and a fairly successful businessman.
No matter how much fame, fortune, or family ties weigh on one side of the scale, it seems that as long as Tong Xiaohuai is placed on this side, the scale will always tilt in Tong Xiaohuai's favor.
There is no reason, no logic whatsoever!
Yan Yuan suppressed his anger and stared intently at Yan Bo.
The two equally stubborn people stared at each other for more than ten seconds, and in the end, it was Yan Yuan, the eldest brother, who gave in first.
"Okay, let's put that aside for now. I came here early this morning to talk to you about your injury."
Yan Bo immediately replied, "Brother, I'll handle this myself. You don't need to get involved."
At this time, Yanbo is a good younger brother. Considering Yanyuan's special situation and position, even the slightest disturbance could trigger an all-out ambush by the opposing faction.
Yan Yuan gave him another deep look, and after a long while, he said, "It seems you've investigated that construction company?"
“I was unconscious last night and only woke up this morning. Xiao Huai rushed over overnight and asked her father to help check.”
Yan Bo did not hide anything, after all, Tong Xiaohuai and her parents were no less kind to him than his parents and brother were.
He and his parents and brothers are, after all, blood relatives, and it is their blood instinct to treat him well.
But Tong Xiaohuai's parents only loved him because of his family, so their actions in doing this were especially commendable.
Yan Yuan fell silent!
He knew perfectly well that Tong Xiaohuai and her parents were incredibly good to their younger brother. They had done so last time by giving Yanhuang a large sum of cash to help him through a difficult time, and they were doing the same this time by helping him find the real culprit.
This is a huge problem; in today's materialistic society, even biological fathers and sons might not be able to go to such lengths.
"However, I don't intend to let Uncle Tong continue to help. This matter was originally my own business, and he has been retired for almost a year. I don't want to get him into trouble and disputes again because of me."
Of course, those troubles were probably nothing in Boss Tong's eyes, but Yan Bo was also a person with self-respect. He was not a little kid. What kind of person would he be if he caused trouble and his elders had to clean up his mess?
Yan Yuan nodded, agreeing with his approach.
From any perspective, Yan Yuan did not want his younger brother to receive too much favor from the Tong family. However, at this time, he absolutely could not say such things.
"If you need my help, just ask. Don't think that just because you say you're severing ties, we can actually cut off that blood relationship."
Yan Yuan truly had mixed feelings of love and hate for his younger brother; he wanted to hit him but couldn't bear to, and he wanted to scold him but couldn't win the argument!
"Brother, I know what's going on here, just pretend you don't know. The leadership of F City will be reshuffled next year, so be careful. As for my affairs, just pretend you didn't see them. If anyone asks, just say you don't know anything. Disclaim as much information as you can."
Yan Bo's serious words made Yan Yuan laugh in exasperation.
"Xiao Bo, are you saying this out of spite? What do you mean by trying to distance yourself as much as possible? You are my brother, Yan Yuan's brother. Even if you really publish an ad in the newspaper to sever ties with us, that's just wishful thinking on your part. Even if you are a heinous villain, you can't erase the fact that I am your brother."
Yan Yuan seemed to have completely forgotten his anger from just now, and his smile was now very sincere.
However, Yan Bo did not laugh.
"Brother, I'm serious, don't get involved in this!"
Yan Bo patted his hand. "Alright, this matter started because of me, so I naturally have a way to handle it. I won't let the Lu family find any fault with me. Your brother has been around for so many years, if I can't even handle something like this, wouldn't I become a laughing stock?"
Yan Bo panicked, "Brother...it's none of your business..."
Yan Bo smiled and shook his head. "Weren't you determined to sever ties with us? Why are you so eager to take the blame for me now?"
