Chapter 151 Are you determined to protect that girl?
Lin Xuqiu clenched her palms in exasperation at his unyielding attitude.
She hadn't expected Yan Tingnan to be so direct and unabashed.
What makes him so confident?
Those videos and photos are enough to ruin Su Ruan's reputation and tarnish his reputation!
"Tingnan, are you determined to protect that girl, even disregarding the reputation of the Yan and Lin families?"
She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and raised her voice to make sure everyone in the room could hear her.
"Fine! Since you insist on seeing it, then I'll show it to everyone!"
"I just hope that after you read this, you won't regret pushing me to this point today!"
"dad."
She turned to Yan Hongyi, her tone somber and cold.
"It's not that I want to cause trouble today, but Ting Nan is going too far, treating my Lin family like nothing."
"If the Yan family cannot give the Lin family a satisfactory explanation today to save face, I am determined to release this video!"
Yan Hongyi slammed his cane down heavily, making a dull thud, and a storm brewed in the old man's eyes.
"Xu Qiu, think this through!"
"I've thought it through very clearly."
Lin Xuqiu showed no sign of backing down, displaying a resolute determination to burn his bridges.
"The Yan family must give the Lin family an explanation, otherwise, I would rather die a glorious death than live a life of dishonor!"
Yan Tingnan chuckled softly at that moment, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"What explanation does Aunt Lin want?"
"Let's be frank."
His tone was flat.
This is exactly what Lin Xuqiu was waiting for.
She took a deep breath, met his gaze, and clearly stated her conditions.
"First, the engagement is to be cancelled immediately, and the Yan family must make a public announcement to protect the reputation of the Lin family."
"Secondly, the Lin family wants to exclusively own 70% of the development rights for that piece of land in the east of the city."
"Third, the future logistics and transportation of Qingyan's Southeast Asian ports will be entirely handled by the Lin family."
"at last."
She paused, her voice growing even colder.
"I want to join the board of directors of Qingyan Group and permanently retain my seat."
The conditions were extremely harsh, far exceeding the benefits that the marriage itself could bring.
Gasps of astonishment filled the arena.
This is no longer about seeking justice, but about using this as an excuse to seize the biggest interests.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; no one dared to breathe.
Everyone was waiting for the Yan family's reply.
Yan Hongyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp glint concealed, and slowly rubbed the dragon head of his cane with his knuckles.
What a fine Lin Xuqiu.
For decades, her gentle and submissive demeanor, her lowered gaze and concealed expression, were all an act.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Yan family was hosting a banquet for all the famous people in the capital, he publicly launched an attack, demanding a price from the emperor.
Yan Hongyi, who had dominated his entire life, was ultimately forced to abdicate by his own daughter-in-law in public.
My face burns, and my chest feels heavy.
Land in the eastern part of the city, port logistics, board seats...
They have quite an appetite.
But then she realized that the Yan family did indeed owe her, and the Lin family did too.
Her eldest son, Ji Bai, was foolish back then, causing her to be a widow for half her life, and the Lin family also suffered a great loss as a result.
The Yan family is clearly in the wrong, and everyone is watching. If they don't make concessions to settle the matter, tomorrow's headlines will be about the complete destruction of the Yan family's reputation.
The scandal his eldest son caused over a woman years ago has become a thorn in his side that he can't get rid of.
If now it were to come out that a grandson had an affair before marriage, and the other woman was his great-grandson's ex-girlfriend...
The Yan family's reputation has been completely shattered, left to be trampled on by everyone.
Given the current situation, if we don't comply with her demands, she might actually release those filthy pieces of evidence in public.
Tomorrow, Qingyan's stock price and the Yan family's reputation will only suffer a more severe blow.
Weighing the pros and cons, the shrewd man made a decision in an instant.
Fine, give it to me.
Now that the storm has subsided, we can settle things slowly in the future.
He rubbed the dragon's head with his knuckles, a cold glint in his eyes.
After a long while, Yan Hongyi let out a deep breath.
He spoke in a deep and solemn voice, which dominated the entire room.
"Xu Qiu's request is open to discussion."
"etc."
Yan Tingnan suddenly spoke.
Yan Tingnan's calm voice interrupted Yan Hongyi's impromptu promise.
He stepped forward and stood face to face with Lin Xuqiu.
Under the lights, his figure stood out like a fir tree, blocking Yan Hongyi and Lin Xuqiu.
"There's nothing to discuss."
His gaze was piercing, fixed directly on Lin Xuqiu.
"Aunt Lin, have you finished stating your conditions?"
"Let's release the evidence."
"I'm also curious, what treasure is Aunt Lin holding in her hand?"
"Otherwise, I will bear this unjust accusation without any explanation."
Yan Hongyi frowned: "Ting Nan!"
The words contained a warning, but also a reminder.
Yan Tingnan, however, seemed not to have heard.
He turned his head and met Yan Hongyi's angry gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"grandfather."
"Trying to cover it up will only give others something to criticize."
He turned his gaze back to Lin Xuqiu, his tone gentle and polite.
"Aunt Lin, since the evidence is conclusive, why keep us in suspense?"
Lin Xuqiu's face suddenly turned cold.
"you!"
She hadn't expected Yan Tingnan to be so tough, daring to refute even the old man's offer!
"Tingnan, are you determined to humiliate yourself?"
Yan Tingnan's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
"It was you who insisted on making me famous."
"please."
He raised his hand, gesturing to the large screen, as if he were calmly inviting a good show.
Lin Xuqiu was thoroughly enraged by his nonchalant demeanor.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gave a wink to her trusted confidant who was controlling the screen behind the scenes.
The giant screen on the side suddenly lit up!
The footage is shaky, clearly taken from a hidden camera angle.
In the dimly lit lounge, two figures overlapped.
They kissed passionately, reluctant to part.
But it wasn't the scene of Yan Tingnan and Su Ruan getting entangled that I had imagined.
In the center of the scene, Lin Yiyao is firmly pressed against the door by Lu Zhuo.
Her dress strap slipped down, revealing a small patch of her fair skin.
Lu Zhu buried his face in her neck and kissed her fiercely and urgently.
Lin Yiyao's slender white fingers curled up, gripping the back of his slightly wrinkled shirt.
Instead of pushing her away, she tilted her head slightly and took the initiative to meet her.
It was so clear it made me blush.
Immediately afterwards, a conversation between Lin Yiyao and Lu Zhuo was heard in the video.
Say it again.
"I don't want to get married."
"Yan Tingnan is a good person, but he's not the one I want."
"what would you like?"
"We want the crazy ones, the wild ones, the..."
"I don't want you to be like this!"
The video ends abruptly there.
The screen went dark.
The guests were speechless, their expressions frozen on their faces.
All eyes turned to the Lin family.
The color drained from Lin Xuqiu's face instantly.
Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared at the screen in disbelief, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
She had planned everything meticulously, but she never expected that the bomb she had planted would explode in her own backyard!
Lin Li's vision went black, and he staggered backward before being hurriedly supported by the person behind him.
"This...this..."
He pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling, and he was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Su Ruan paused, the champagne glass hovering at her lips.
A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
So that's what they were waiting for.
Lu Zhuo and Lin Yiyao...
Yan Tingnanbu's scheme was indeed ruthless and ingenious.
She almost felt sorry for Lin Xuqiu.
He meticulously planned a major move, but it ended up ruining his own niece's reputation.
This plot twist is even more exciting than a melodramatic prime-time soap opera.
Huo Siyue gasped, abruptly covered her mouth, and frantically shook Song Shengsheng's arm beside her.
"Holy crap!! It's Yao Yao and Lu Zhuo?!"
"What kind of plot twist is this?"
Yan Tingnan stood there, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his gaze calm and composed.
"Aunt Lin."
"Is this the kind of disgusting evidence you're talking about?"
He looked calmly at Lin Xuqiu, whose body was trembling slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Aunt Lin just said that I kept a lover and humiliated the Lin family."
"But now it seems that the Lin family's daughter has someone she loves, and she and my brother are mutually in love."
"The one that needs an explanation is not the Yan family."
"Perhaps the Lin family should offer an explanation."
