Yi Tianran smiled, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes. "Of course I'm punishing evil and giving back to society."
Weren't the Yi family convinced they could turn their fortunes around through real estate projects? She wanted to see if they actually had the ability.
...
Yi family.
"The successful signing of this real estate project is all thanks to Qilin's mediation!" Old Master Yi looked at his son with satisfaction, feeling more and more that he was a promising young man.
Unlike the good-for-nothing nephew of the third son, who indulges in sensual pleasures all day long and is a complete spoiled brat, relying on the family's power to cause trouble with a bunch of bad friends.
They are both of the same Yi family bloodline, yet they are worlds apart.
"Dad, it is my honor to serve the family." Yi Qilin was taught from a young age to prioritize the family's interests above all else.
Even though those uncles and elders all had their own agendas, because they all shared the surname Yi, they were bound to rise and fall together, so they had to help each other to bring the Yi family back to its peak.
"Hmph! Isn't that CEO of 'Dawn' very arrogant? Does she really think that just because we can't order their new materials, we have no other way to get them?" Mrs. Yi raised her chin arrogantly. "Once the Yi family becomes famous, one day I will trample that bitch under my feet and make her kneel down and apologize to me."
"Just behave yourself!" Old Yi frowned. "Last time you were provoked and ran off to fight Liu Ruyi, tearing her face and breaking her hand. She was just discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago. You should go and apologize to her."
"Why?!" Mrs. Yi was furious at the mention of this. "That shameless mistress not only made a fool of herself, but she also pretended to be rich and gave me fake jewelry, making me lose face and humiliate me. I will never let her live with me again!"
"Enough!" Yi Lao Si suddenly stood up, his face cold as he warned her, "Let me tell you, it's fine if we bicker and fight all the time, but we four brothers are of one mind and we absolutely cannot fall apart, otherwise I will divorce you!"
Mrs. Yi was so angry that her face turned red. "What did you say? For the sake of your fake half-brothers, you're even willing to abandon your wife! Fourth Brother Yi, do they have some kind of leverage over you?"
After all, they are a couple who have lived together for two or three decades. Sometimes, they even understand each other better than they understand themselves.
Yi Lao Si's face was gloomy. Recalling what the four brothers had done together back then, he still did not regret it.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a phone call broke the silence.
Yi Laosi picked up his phone to answer, but the person on the other end said something that made him turn pale and stagger to the sofa.
"Dad, what happened?" Yi Qilin asked worriedly.
Yi Laosi said in a hoarse voice, "We've been exposed."
"What?"
Yi Laosi held his head and said heavily, "Someone anonymously reported that we bought ordinary materials and passed them off as high-quality ones. Now the authorities have issued a warning that if we can't produce better materials within a week, the contract will be terminated!"
"Damn it!" Madam Yi smashed things on the table in anger. "It must be that bitch Liu Ruyi who harbors resentment and deliberately reported us to harm us."
“She’s not that stupid.” Old Master Yi rubbed his temples wearily and turned to ask his son, “Qilin, what do you think we should do next? We’ve already taken ninety-nine steps, are we just going to give up now?”
Yi Qilin clenched his fists tightly. "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to find suitable materials."
As a result, the family searched everywhere, but even on the last day, they still couldn't find the most suitable and advanced materials.
Just when they were in despair, they were fortunate to receive a turning point from an overseas Chinese businessman who had returned from abroad.
"I know a suitable building materials friend." Yi Tianran disguised himself as a man, wearing a beard, and appeared as a debonair businessman, introducing a warehouse for Yi Lao Si's family to use in an emergency.
However, "This building materials supplier has high-quality and advanced materials that meet your needs, but my friend had already planned to order it from someone else, so—"
Yi Qilin quickly said, "We can offer a high price, as long as we can buy these materials."
“In that case—” Yi Tianran slowly stretched out her hand and showed them a number.
Mr. and Mrs. Yi gasped in shock and nearly fainted on the spot.
The material is twenty times better than that of "Dawn"!
“Isn’t this taking advantage of someone’s misfortune?” Mrs. Yi blurted out.
Yi Tianran shrugged and said in a nonchalant tone, "This is the price my friend offered. He never likes to force people. If you're not willing, this batch of materials will be sold to someone else tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Yi wanted to consider it further, but Yi Qilin readily agreed: "We're willing. As long as we get the goods, the price is not a problem."
"Qilin—"
"Mom and Dad, don't just think about the immediate benefits. You have to think about the income after the project is completed." Yi Qilin didn't think the price was unacceptable, after all, they had no other choice.
The faces of Mr. and Mrs. Yi were contorted in disgust.
They thought to themselves that this expense was like cutting off a piece of their own flesh.
But since things had come to this point, they had no choice but to agree.
"Thanks to Mr. Yan for relieving our family's urgent crisis, you are a great benefactor to the Yi family. We must continue to cooperate in the future if there is an opportunity." Yi Qilin bowed sincerely to Yi Tianran.
"You're welcome." Yi Tianran waved casually, and left after discussing the details and signing the contract with them.
She went back to see her grandmother and gave her the check.
"It's a pity you didn't see the expressions on your fourth uncle's family's faces. They looked so aggrieved and pained, yet they still had to reluctantly pay the money." She had the so-called advanced materials in her hands, but she was determined to rip them off and make them grateful to her.
Grandma Yi smiled and shook her head. "It's my fault for being useless. I can't get justice for you myself. This old body of mine will eventually..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yi Tianran said coquettishly, "Grandma, you're in great health! When my doctor friend returns from abroad, I'll definitely have him come over to treat you as soon as possible. You'll live a long and healthy life."
Thanks to Yi Tianran's medication, the old lady's complexion has improved a lot recently.
"You..." She shook her head helplessly, "But it's alright, I'll keep all the money for you. You're my only granddaughter, and all of this will belong to you in the future."
Upon hearing this, a hint of ambiguity flashed across Yi Tianran's eyes.
As the first wife of the Yi family, Old Mrs. Yi should have inherited all the family property after her husband's death, which should have belonged to her biological daughter.
But with her aunt gone, the old lady's only bloodline was severed, and she was even poisoned by a beast.
She wanted revenge, she wanted to take back everything from the Yi family and return it to her grandmother, but she never thought about inheriting the Yi family.
If the old lady has a blood relative in this world who inherits everything from her, perhaps that can bring her some comfort!
