What was the point of having more people in the side branches? They still had to rely on the direct line of descent to support the colossal Yan Family.
Ever since Yan Yuanfei had died, it had been like a curse. The side branches had also started to meet with setbacks in various ways and gradually declined. They began to complain and pushed all the responsibility onto the direct descendants. They blamed Yan Yuanfei for dying early and causing a huge blow to their businesses too.
In the first few years when Yan Yuanfei had just left, the other branches would still bring their children over to celebrate the Lunar New Year with the duo every year.
Two years ago, the side branches had gathered to discuss and force the mother and daughter-in-law to adopt a son from them. At any rate, he would be considered a member of the direct lineage. They wanted to see if he could change the current situation of the Yan Family.
