Qingyou looked at Grandpa Yan and the others with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
If I were still an ordinary person from the Fourth District, I probably wouldn't even be able to get through the Yan family's gate.
While Qingyou was looking at the Yan family, they were also sizing her up.
There were no fluctuations of unusual energy on his body, but he carried an indescribable powerful aura, which certainly did not make him seem like a simple ordinary person.
Grandpa Yan looked at his granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and a loving expression appeared on his face.
He smiled and said, "Qingyou, you're back."
Qingyou had no time for pretense and went straight to the point: "I've come back to visit my grandmother."
"Find someone to guide you down the road."
Grandpa Yan's smile froze; he clearly hadn't expected his granddaughter to be so disrespectful.
He suppressed his displeasure and said, "You just got back, there's no need to rush to see your grandma. Go to the living room and have a cup of tea first."
Qingyou said to him in a distant and indifferent manner, "I don't have anything to talk about with you, so there's no need for tea."
Seeing that Qingyou was unresponsive, Grandpa Yan frowned and said, "This is your home, and I am your grandfather. How can we not have anything to talk about?"
Qingyou scoffed, "Grandpa, don't try to act all high and mighty with me. We all know each other perfectly well!"
“When my dad left the First District, he severed ties with the Yan family.”
She added meaningfully, "You probably know better than I do how he died."
“I don’t have the time or energy to play along with your act here, so let’s all be straightforward and stop hiding our true intentions like clowns.”
Qingyou's words completely disregarded the Yan family's reputation, and the faces of the Yan family's higher-ups turned ugly.
The younger generation who came to join in the fun also felt that Qingyou's words were too much, and at the same time, they thought that she was a savage from the fourth district who did not understand any rules, which was why she was so bold.
Old Master Yan couldn't keep up the act any longer, and the smile on his face disappeared. "Qingyou, are you really going to break ties with the Yan family?"
Qingyou looked at him and said, "Didn't I already break off relations with the Yan family a long time ago?"
This was the first time Old Master Yan had been so bluntly criticized, and he was speechless for a moment. "You!"
"Do you really think that developing a powerful weapon will allow us to fly?"
He said with a stern face, "Without a background or identity in the First District, you don't even have a chance to protect your achievements."
"Don't forget your surname. Don't be fooled by the Gong family's kid and hand over your things. You'll only suffer the consequences."
This granddaughter is even more unruly and amiable than her son.
Qingyou looked at Old Master Yan with a half-smile, "Do you think that if I stay in the Yan family and hand over my things, I won't suffer any losses?"
"What the Gong family gave me, will you give back?"
"Given the shameless nature of your Yan family, if you want to get your hands on my things, you'll just keep them all for yourself."
She pouted, "I'm not stupid."
Faced with such blatant sarcasm, Old Master Yan and the others couldn't keep their composure.
An elder sneered, "Just because you have a little talent, you've completely forgotten who you are."
Qingyou retorted, "You do have the surname Yan, but you don't even have this much talent. How dare you talk back and belittle me?"
With the exception of a few individuals, she felt a strong aversion to the rest of the Yan family.
The elder was furious at being rebuked and pointed at Qingyou, saying, "You, you, you're simply outrageous! I'm your elder!"
That brat is so disrespectful and arrogant.
Qingyou rolled her eyes. "I don't consider myself a member of your Yan family, so don't try to act like an elder in front of me."
"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you guys."
She looked at the head of the Yan family and said, "I'm going to see my grandmother."
The head of the Yan family was also furious; his granddaughter's personality was simply too unpleasant.
The fact that they immediately confronted them shows that their resentment towards the Yan family runs deep.
Judging from what she said earlier, she probably also knows that her parents' deaths were related to the Yan family.
In that case, it's impossible to win them over directly through family ties.
Therefore, his expression turned colder. "If you want to see it, I'll have someone take you to see it."
He said to the butler, "Take her to the old lady's courtyard."
The butler respectfully replied, "Yes!"
Then he gestured to Qingyou in a "please" manner.
Qingyou didn't look at anyone else and followed the butler straight away.
Watching her departing figure, the Yan family members all wore expressions of anger.
Seeing that one of the clan elders was about to lose his temper, Old Master Yan said, "Let's talk about this in the meeting hall."
Those who wanted to speak kept quiet.
Once the group returned to the conference hall, they launched into a tirade of complaints about Qingyou.
Boss Yan was naturally displeased with Qingyou's attitude, but he was happy to see her so arrogant, offending the higher-ups of the Yan family right from the start.
As soon as he sat down in the conference room, he looked at Grandpa Yan and said, "Dad, given Qingyou's attitude, it seems our appeasement policy won't work."
Grandpa Yan glanced at his eldest son.
He knew what his eldest son was thinking, and originally he didn't want to resort to violence unless absolutely necessary.
Before the cataclysm, his most favored and valued son was actually his third son.
Who would have thought that after the cataclysm, the intelligent and talented third son would turn out to be an ordinary person who could never awaken his superpowers?
Adding to the fact that his wife's family suddenly discovered a mutated mineral, the Yan family couldn't resist the temptation and ended up killing the entire family.
The third son has always had a good relationship with his maternal family, so if this matter is discovered, it will be a hidden danger for the Yan family.
All he could do was support his eldest son and suppress his third son.
Who knew the third son would be so tough, directly announcing that he was severing ties with the family and taking his wife and children to the fourth district.
But the eldest son didn't let it go; he secretly colluded with people from the Fourth District to kill the third son and his wife.
He had previously thought that as long as Qingyou didn't know about these things, he would use family affection to win her over.
Now that she not only knows, but also has such a bad attitude, showing obvious resentment and hatred towards the Yan family, he has no choice but to resort to coercive measures.
Most of the high-ranking officials present agreed with what Old Master Yan said, and so they all tried to persuade him.
After a moment, Old Master Yan sighed heavily, "So be it. Since Qingyou has no sense of belonging to the family and harbors such deep resentment, and doesn't want to treat us as family, then the appeasement policy we mentioned before has to be abandoned."
With a helpless expression, he added, "Let's go with the second option."
Yan Laoda was not surprised by his father's decision.
This father of his doesn't care about family ties; he only cares about what's best for the family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up on her third child, whom she once valued most.
After thinking for a moment, Old Master Yan instructed Yan the eldest, "I'll leave this matter to you."
He clearly didn't want to show his face and act like a wicked grandfather in front of Qingyou.
Old Master Yan inwardly despised the old man for being hypocritical; when it came to playing the villain, he let him come.
However, he didn't mind and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll go arrange for someone."
Hmph, he will definitely make sure Yan Qingyou never returns, and all her talents and intelligence will be used for his own purposes for the rest of her life.
