The news only took an hour to ferment in Li City and immediately caused an uproar.
Just as Yan Si came out of his bachelor apartment, he received news that his father wanted him to return to the old residence.
The moment he entered the living room, he saw a few elders sitting on the sofa with grave expressions.
"What's going on? Why are you in this state?"
He deliberately tried to lighten the mood and sat on the sofa in a carefree manner.
Father Yan came down the stairs, his usually gentle face extremely dark.
He tossed a financial newspaper to Yan Si and sat down on the sofa beside him.
"Take a good look at it yourself."
Yan Si flipped through it and threw the newspaper back onto the sofa in front of him. He looked as if nothing serious had happened.
"Yan Si, only a portion of the reason why Yan Corporation has its current status is because of ability. However, based on today's news, you clearly want to harm the future of Yan Corporation."
The second uncle of the Yan Family who had spoken was a stylish man in his 40s. He was tall, muscular, and lean in his clothes. He wore a small ponytail all year round and had a tuft of mustache. He was quite the character.
Yan Si glanced at him lazily and impudently. "Second Uncle, what's the meaning of this? When it comes to doing business, when you reach a certain level, you need to win together."
Second Uncle disagreed with him. He snorted and turned his face away.
A slightly plump man beside him took the opportunity to reply, "Yan Si, your second uncle doesn't agree with the merger and wants to acquire it."
Yan Si suddenly sat up straight and picked up the newspaper to read it carefully.
Under the huge photo, there was a line of small words: Yan Corporation has a chance of merging with Ya Jie Technology. Are the two giants of Li City completely monopolizing the business market?
After reading it, he threw the newspaper back and suddenly sneered.
After a long time, he said, "No acquisition is required. I want to marry her."
These words sounded like an order, but also like a solemn notice.
When the others heard this, they looked at one another.
Mother Yan, who came in from outside, heard this and was overjoyed.
"Who? Who are you marrying?"
"Xu Lan, daughter of the Xu Family."
The elders fell silent when they heard that.
Mother Yan sat down beside her father and said gently, "After all these twists and turns, it's still the daughter of the Xu Family."
She seemed to be very satisfied with this marriage, and it was obvious that she could not hold back the joy in her heart as she explained to the elders.
"Although the Xu Family is one level lower than our Yan Family, they're still from an aristocratic family."
One of the elders spoke.
"In that case, let's meet up."
Someone else chimed in, but Mother Yan was stumped.
She sighed slightly. "We've already met before. Yan Si refused to get engaged back then. Otherwise, he would have been married by now."
"Mom, we're not talking about the same person. I want Xu Lan, not Xu Yan."
Yan Si insisted on correcting her, and Mother Yan did not refuse.
"Sister-in-law, I remember that the Xu Family only has one daughter. Why did Yan Si mention two names?"
Second Uncle was suspicious and interrupted.
Mother Yan chuckled and explained, "I heard that the other one has been raised in the countryside. In short, both of his daughters are very beautiful and likable."
She looked at her son.
This rascal, finally someone was helping her manage him.
After receiving a clear answer, the elders dispersed.
A few days later, the Xu Family received a notice to meet at the banquet.
Xu Yan was overjoyed when she heard that they were going to have a marriage alliance. However, in the next second, her heart turned cold.
"They're asking for Lan'er. You should focus on your tea ceremony."
"Why should I? I am the eldest daughter of the Xu Family."
Xu Yan was completely unconvinced.
Father Xu did not take her words to heart.
That afternoon, Xu Yan returned from the tea garden and made a call.
That night, she went to the bar.
The moment she entered the private room, she was targeted.
"You look familiar."
"Aren't you Miss Xu, who was attacked by the Internet a while ago."
At the end of the corridor, two men in suits were smoking cigarettes as they looked at Xu Yan's private room.
"Seems like you're having fun. Can we hook up?"
"Forget about it, I'm afraid this kind of woman has been used before. I like virgins."
"I'm afraid you're infected by Young Master Yan. He still likes chicks."
"What do you mean?"
Confused, the man stubbed out his finished cigarette.
"She's coming out."
The other man did not answer his question. Instead, he gestured for him to look in the direction where Xu Yan had come from.
