"Cough cough cough!"
Yan Chengjun was worried that Yan Miao would be lonely eating alone, so he picked up his bowl to eat with her when he heard the news that shocked him!
That mouthful of food got stuck in his throat, almost choking him to death!
Even Yan Miao felt a little sorry for her father.
The original daughter wasn't a daughter at all; she was a younger sister!
My cousin isn't just a cousin, he's my own brother!
The relationships are in complete chaos, and the culprit is none other than his own mother—Old Mrs. Yan!
What a terrible thing!
"Butler, please ask the old lady and the other woman to go back to the annex for dinner. Don't disturb our family of three's private conversation!"
Before Old Madam Yan could come up with a new idea, Yan Chengjun directly told them to leave.
The housekeeper, who had just emptied Yan Qingqing's room, secretly glanced at Old Madam Yan.
Yan Miao saw all of this.
After receiving a look from Old Madam Yan, he immediately looked at Yan Chengjun with a troubled expression, "Sir, a family should be harmonious. If Miss sends Old Madam to the annex for dinner on her first day back home, people outside will say that you are unfilial."
"It's not good for the young lady's reputation either..."
I almost forgot about you, but you popped up on your own!
[The butler wasn't truly loyal to my father! He was an informant planted by the old witch next to him, and his true identity is the old witch's cousin! She orchestrated the injury of the old butler, using the excuse that he was too old to retire, which convinced my father to hire a new butler.]
[Who would have thought she had planned this all along? Sending her cousin into the Yan family was all to monitor my father's every move! Otherwise, why would Old Madam Yan have rushed over to make a scene the moment she heard news of me? But my father did stand his ground for once; the old hag cried and screamed, forbidding me from returning. My father threw a huge tantrum, and she was relegated to the annex.]
[But the butler is clever; he's not as foolish as the old hag. He's kept a low profile all these years, never speaking up for her unless absolutely necessary. He seems like a loyal servant, but in reality, he's secretly colluding with the old hag and Yan Cheng, leaking countless company secrets!]
[The reason Dad can't catch the leaker is because that person is in the house! Every time, the butler sneaks into the study, takes photos, and sends them to Yan Cheng, who then leaks the company secrets. He deliberately tries to salvage the situation during a crisis, which is why he can stay in his position as the company's vice president.]
Oh wow!
Yan Zhao's eyes widened immediately.
It turns out there's no one trustworthy in their family. Looks like he'll have to cling tightly to his sister's coattails!
Ultimately, he was in power, and Yan Chengjun remained as steady as a mountain after hearing this.
Upon hearing him chuckle, the butler immediately had a bad feeling.
"I brought you in here not so you could go around gossiping about the family. If I hear even the slightest bad word about Miaomiao outside, none of you here will have a good time!"
Yan Chengjun scanned the three of them.
Yan Qingqing lowered her head guiltily. How did he know she was going to use this trick? It seems it won't work now!
"Since you care about the old lady so much, why don't you go work for her? That would fulfill my filial duty!"
"Sir, I was too talkative. I've been with the Yan family for so many years, and I've always been thinking of you. I didn't mean anything by it! How could I go to the old lady's place?"
The butler immediately begged for mercy.
"Sung-kyun, the steward is devoted to this family, you're being far too aggressive!"
Grandma Yan was extremely flustered.
Things are getting out of control!
"Don't you like Yan Qingqing? Let her move in with us! If you're interested, I can even hold a ceremony so she can become your godmother. After all, she's not a real member of the Yan family. You can keep her if you like, but not as the eldest daughter of the Yan family!"
If Yan Qingqing were to appear in public as the eldest daughter of the Yan family, wouldn't that embarrass Miaomiao?
He would never allow anyone to harm his precious daughter!
Wow, that's brilliant!
Yan Miao couldn't help but give her father a thumbs up, "That's brilliant!"
[Dad's clever! If we just kicked Yan Qingqing out, that old hag definitely wouldn't agree and might continue causing trouble. So throwing her into the annex is the best solution. It shuts her up and keeps the enemy under our noses.]
[But the fact that Yan Qingqing is being recognized as the godmother must have infuriated the old hag! Hahaha! If Dad didn't not know that Yan Qingqing is the old hag's biological daughter, I would have really thought Dad was deliberately trying to annoy the old lady, hahaha!]
"Dad, how can you be so heartless? We've been father and daughter for 22 years!"
Yan Qingqing turned pale with fright.
She knew that as long as Yan Chengjun spoke, even if he was her mother—
No, even Grandma Yan couldn't stop it!
"When you framed Miaomiao just now, did you forget that I've loved and cherished you for 22 years? Now you have the nerve to bring it up? I've never treated you badly over the years, and no one in the family has ever wronged you! Even your second brother has been punished by me many times because of you. The whole family has pampered and loved you, yet you don't know how to be grateful and do such a heartless thing. Have you lost your conscience?"
Yan Qingqing collapsed to the ground in despair.
"Wang Ma—"
At Yan Chengjun's command, Wang Ma, along with the security guards who had been waiting outside, escorted the three of them out.
However, while Grandma Yan was very polite in inviting them, the other two were simply dragged along by hand!
She's an elder in the family, and the fact that the young lady was finally found made her so excited that she cried buckets of tears.
These heartless bastards are pulling this stunt; can't they tell the difference between the king and the queen?
Yan Chengjun breathed a long sigh of relief; he could finally have a proper talk with his beloved daughter.
As for those irrelevant bystanders who dare to deceive or scheme against him, he will not let them off easily!
"Miaomiao, are you doing well out there?"
Seeing his daughter wolfing down her food, Yan Chengjun felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
These dishes, which he considered ordinary, were rare delicacies in his daughter's eyes.
"Of course!"
Yan Miao gave a nonchalant reply, her chopsticks quickly reaching for the Australian lobster she had been eyeing for so long.
Yan Zhao, with great tact, handed the plate of Australian lobster to her.
Yan Miao smiled at him.
"The Taoist priests have all treated me very well, like their own daughter. Although their conditions are not as good as the Yan family's, they have raised me safely and peacefully, and I have not suffered any grievances over the years."
Yan Miao has been raised in a remote rural Taoist temple for many years.
When Yan Chengjun went there, there was only a young Taoist priest guarding the temple, waiting for her family to arrive.
The other Taoist priests all went on their travels.
Although the Taoist temple was dilapidated, the young Taoist priest behaved very well and kindly. When Yan Chengjun offered to pay for the temple's repairs, he refused outright.
They only said that the Taoist priests had specifically instructed them before they left—everything is predestined!
He had no choice but to give up, thinking that when the Taoist priest returned from his travels, he would definitely pay a proper visit to express his gratitude and do his part in helping him!
Looking back now, Miaomiao's unusual qualities were also her destiny!
