Chapter 427: Why Should I Care if the Whole Family Lives or Dies
"These old bones of mine, if I die, then so be it. Cough... cough..." The Old Man coughed twice before continuing, "But this family cannot fall apart, it cannot fall into the hands of those with ill intentions! Si Jue, I beg you, even though you’ve left the Yan Family, the blood of the Yan Family still flows within you... you can’t just watch this whole family be destroyed!"
Yan Sijue gradually sensed something was wrong: "What do you mean, Ya Zhuo wants to harm you and the entire Yan Family?"
Currently, besides Yan Yaohao, who else possesses the power to control the Yan Family? Only Yan Yaohao has the motive and ability to harm the Old Man.
"I have no evidence, but I have this intuition..." The Old Man sighed with sorrow, "I was blind, I raised a thankless wretch..."
Yan Sijue curled his lips, "You are truly unfortunate, why do you keep raising thankless wretches?"
Hearing his sarcasm, the Old Man smiled bitterly, "Si Jue, as long as you promise me to leave a way out for this family, I’ll write a will for you right now... Everything belonging to the Yan Family will be all yours! Only you can counter Ya Zhuo... only you..."
Yan Sijue remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, "Don’t you know that I’ve never been interested in those things belonging to the Yan Family? Besides, I’ve been expelled from the clan, even with your will, no one will acknowledge it. By then, I’ll not only have to deal with Yan Yaohao but also with the envy and jealousy of this entire family. To not disappoint your expectations, I can’t even really take action against these people... You sure know how to cause me trouble. Perhaps you think you haven’t used me thoroughly enough before, so you’re squeezing me one last time to make it worthwhile?"
The Old Man’s face showed urgency: "No! Si Jue, that’s not what I mean! Cough cough... I know this is nothing difficult for you! I..."
"So what if it is, I have no interest at all," Yan Sijue’s voice was cold, "Why should the life and death of this family concern me? If I were willing to accept your legacy, it would only mean I want revenge on these people, and by then, I would do worse than Yan Yaohao... have you considered that?"
Yan Yaoting and those people, haven’t they often stabbed him in the back secretly? He is unwilling to act merely because he doesn’t want to bother, but if given the chance, he doesn’t mind making these people suffer. Actually, while it was cruel of Yan Yaohao to make Yan Yaoting infertile, he was quite pleased with the outcome.
The Old Man gasped for breath, speechless for a long time.
Yan Sijue suddenly laughed, "I once thought that when I tell you the truth, you’d surely regret it... but now it seems, even if I had told you the truth from the start, the outcome wouldn’t change. In your eyes, there’s only the family, only your own glory... you’ve never truly cared about your children and grandchildren, so now none of them care about your life or death, only about your little inheritance. Even Ya Zhuo, whom you carefully nurtured, wants to harm you... have you ever thought about the reason?"
The Old Man’s eyes widened further.
"You’re already in this state, don’t worry about so much. Your children and grandchildren, those worth anything will find their own paths, and those who aren’t, even if no one harms them, will find their own way to ruin. As for you, since you’re already not long for this world, if I were Yan Yaohao, even if I hated you to the bone, I wouldn’t do anything to you. I’d just let you linger on, watching helplessly as this family falls apart, and then die in bitter regret and unwillingness."
