Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Weians appearance was just an episode. Yan Yue didnt take it seriously, but when he returned to Yans house, he heard a message from the housekeeper. His mother was interested in introducing Yin Ya to Lu Weian.

Although Yin Ya had half of the Yin familys blood in her veins, her father had been just a bodyguard for Yin Qinglan and had risen to power by falling in love with her. All these years, Yin Yas status had always been awkward and it was difficult for her to fit into Yan Yues circle. Now, as Yin Ya grew older every year, Yin Qinglan began to think about Yin Yas future. However, given Yin Yas background, it was difficult to find a suitable match. But when Yin Qinglan met Lu Weian, she came up with this idea.

The corners of Yan Yues mouth curved up in mockery as he listened. His mother really wanted the best for Yin Ya. He didnt care much about this news anyway. He had nothing to do with who Yin Ya wanted to marry, and it was even better if Yin Ya could marry into the Lu family. Ye Kang was joking earlier that Yan Hai was probably the only one who would dare to marry the Li family at this time. Now that Yan Yue thought about it, he thought it would be interesting if it was really as Ye Kang said.

Seeing that he was in an okay mood, the housekeeper told another piece of news. Yan Shihui wanted to see him.

Yan Yue paused, the mockery on his face deepening: “I see.”

Unlike Yin Qinglan, who hadnt done her motherly duty since he was six, Yan Shihui had somehow managed to do his fatherly duty. Although he had moved out of the Yan family mansion, he would come back to see Yan Yue from time to time and was very attentive to Yan Yues education. Yan Yue believed that when he was young, his father didnt have the idea of changing his heir. Otherwise, his father would have had the opportunity to raise him to be a fop, ignorant and lazy.

It was only as Yan Hai and Yan Qian grew up that Yan Shihuis heart gradually began to shift. Compared to the eldest son who was destined to have everything, the second son and the youngest daughter would be left with nothing after his death. What Yan Shihui probably wanted most was for Yan Yue and Yan Hai to have a good relationship and for the two brothers to work together to develop Hopewell, so that he could put his mind at ease when Hopewell was handed over to Yan Yue. However, Yan Yue had always hated the existence of Yan Hai and Yin Ya since he was a child, and refused to even play next to them. Yan Shihui could do nothing with Yan Yue, and with it, even Yan Yues inheritance rights to Hopewell were shaken.

After changing his clothes, Yan Yue went to Hopewells headquarters by himself, without taking An Jie. For so many years, Yan Yue had never set foot in Yan Shihuis new home. Father and son talked about things either in the Yan family mansion or at the Hopewell headquarters.

Upon receiving the news that Yan Yue was coming over, Yan Shihui put off all his arrangements for the afternoon. Of his three children, Yan Yue was the most like him, both in terms of personality and behaviour. Yan Shihui himself understood that it was the best arrangement for Hopewell to be handed over to Yan Yue. But the problem was that Yan Yue was too prejudiced against Yan Hai and he could foresee that once he was gone, Yan Yue would definitely suppress Yan Hai until he had no place in Zhongjing.
