Chapter 159 Sixteen Clever Ideas
Yan Ting didn't have much contact with the character Yan Lao through Yan Ting's previous life.
All I know is that he's a cunning old fox who schemed against everyone, including Yan Nan.
She found it amusing that the outside world always thought this old man was genuinely grooming Yan Nan.
Putting everything else aside, just considering blood ties alone, Yan Nan could not possibly be the successor favored by Elder Yan.
No matter what, Yan Nan is a collateral relative, so how could Old Man Yan willingly hand over the Yan clan's foundation to an outsider?
"If I really wanted to settle accounts with you, what could I do?" Old Yan said in a deep voice, "It's not good that you have such a rebellious nature at such a young age."
“It’s better than just accepting it.” Yan Ting smiled. “If I were afraid of the Yan family settling scores later, I wouldn’t be standing here.”
"Old man, you don't dare to touch me, and you can't touch me."
The atmosphere around them suddenly fell silent.
A moment later, a coughing sound came from behind the screen.
"...How arrogant!"
Yan Ting smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
She was telling the truth.
Because of Chen Xiao's presence, Elder Yan dares not touch her now.
Moreover, Yanting has never been one to be manipulated by others.
If she's having a hard time, then everyone will have a hard time together.
This is what Chen Xiao taught her.
Having spent so much time by Chen Xiao's side, Yan Ting had long since learned his vindictive style; if she was unhappy, no one else could be happy either.

Bai Zhi knew he had been deceived by Yan Ting when he learned about Yan Ting's situation.
Tan Yi was furious: "What was Tingting thinking, staying in Hong Kong all by herself?"
Si Munan comforted her, "She does this because she knows what she's doing. Your staying in Hong Kong will only make her worry."
Tan Yi sighed, "I'm so useless." If she were really that capable, she wouldn't have left Yan Ting to face those wolves and tigers alone.
These people arrived in Jingzhou the day before yesterday.
Upon arriving in Jingzhou, a group of people stood at the port waiting for Bai Zhi and his companions.
Si Munan observed these people calmly.
The more I looked at it, the more turbulent my heart became.
These people are all extraordinary.
Stock market geniuses, hacker prodigies, oil tycoons, and industry giants, among others.
Seeing their respectful attitude towards Bai Zhi, Si Munan suddenly realized that Chen Xiao's status might be even more noble than he had imagined.
Looking at the tall and solemn building before him, Tan Yi asked in shock and a hint of confusion, "Is this... a castle?"
A castle of this lavishness seems only a king could afford to live in.
The driver said casually, "This was a birthday gift given to Chen Meng by a wealthy man a few years ago."
birthday present?
Tan Yi remained silent for a while.
For the first time, she truly understood what it meant to be outmatched by others and richer than others.
"Chen Meng rarely stays in this castle. He prefers to live in a Chinese-style courtyard house, the kind where he can grow vegetables."
Tan Yi: ?
Growing vegetables?
For some reason, she thought of Yanting.
Yanting really enjoys growing vegetables.
The yard is full of cabbages, radishes, potatoes, and cucumbers.
The news of Chen Xiao's return to Jingzhou was kept secret, but since such things are uncontrollable, it wasn't even three days before the secret was kept secret, and everyone in Jingzhou's elite circles knew that Chen Xiao had returned.
After several years, Chen Xiao finally returned to Jingzhou.

When Lu Huai returned to the Lu family, he was immediately and severely reprimanded by Old Master Lu: "Kneel down before me."
Lu Huai stood there expressionless, motionless.
Old Lu's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
"Lu Huai, I told you to kneel down, did you hear me?"
Seeing this, the butler advised, "Young master, you should quickly apologize to the head of the family and say that you won't do it again next time."
Lu Huai remained silent; he simply stood there.
Old Lu was even angrier when he saw his wooden expression.
He roared furiously, "Are you not going to listen to your own grandfather anymore? You think you're all grown up and want to fly away?"
Lu Huai's thin lips moved slightly.
There was a bang.
In the end, he knelt heavily on the cold floor.
Looking at his grandson kneeling on the ground, Old Lu felt a tightness in his chest from anger.
"You went to Hong Kong without even saying goodbye, and you even got into a fight with that Sheng family kid over a woman. You've really grown some guts."
Growing increasingly angry, Old Lu grabbed a stick from the side and struck Lu Huai hard on the back.
Lu Huai let out a muffled groan as he was hit.
"Grandpa." Gu Qianqiu ran in without anyone noticing.
She knelt down beside Lu Huai and pleaded with him, "Grandpa, please forgive Huai this time. He didn't mean to make you angry."
To everyone's surprise, Lu Huai shoved her away, saying, "Get out of here."
Gu Qianqiu, who had been pushed down, stared at Lu Huai in astonishment.
However, all she received was Lu Huai's disgusted and cold gaze.
Lu Huai stared at her coldly.
If it weren't for this woman, he wouldn't have been hypnotized at all.
He almost forgot about his feelings for Yanting because of this.
Upon seeing this, Old Lu cursed, "You bastard!" He then struck Lu Huai on the back with another stick.
Lu Huai's face turned pale.
This time, Gu Qianqiu did not plead for her.
She lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness and indifference within them.
Meanwhile, Sheng Yuanze was also scolded by his father.
Sheng's father looked at Sheng Yuanze with a gloomy expression: "I know you've always been absurd, but I never imagined you could be this absurd."
Sheng Yuanze still had bruises on his forehead. He looked at his father and smiled slightly, saying, "I just took after you."
"..." Mr. Sheng was speechless for a moment.

Yan Lan looked at Yan Lin in the hospital room and said coldly, "Yan Lin, what exactly do you mean?"
Yan Lin smiled and asked, "What do you think I mean?"
Yan Lan's eyes darkened: "Don't tell me you've really fallen for Yan Ting."
Yan Lin paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Like? What do you mean by liking? Does wanting to devour her count as liking? Does wanting to break every single bone in her body count as liking?"
Yan Lan warned, "Yan Lin, don't forget our deal."
If Yan Lin dares to ruin her plans, she will absolutely not let him off.
Yan Lin sat there leisurely, and said in a light tone, "Don't worry, I won't break the contract. After all, I am an honest and trustworthy person."
"..." Yanlan chuckled.
If Yan Lin were truly honest and trustworthy, then everyone in the world would become honest and trustworthy.
Two people with ulterior motives together have a total of 1,600 schemes.
Before leaving, Yan Lan said to Yan Lin, "I advise you not to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a woman. Yan Lin, you and I are truly on the same path."
Watching Yan Lan's departing figure, the smile that had been on Yan Lin's face quickly vanished.
He thought of Yanting's unusual behavior that day, his eyes filled with a terrifying intensity.
That wasn't the Yanting he longed for at all.
The current Yanting is just a fake.
