Chapter 186 Grandpa is the Master
The woman who went on a blind date with Xu Qingran turned out to be Feng Xiao.
This result was a little beyond Ye Yan's expectations, but on second thought, there were only a handful of people who could be a good match for a wealthy family like theirs.
But at the moment, what disappointed Ye Yan more than Feng Xiao’s identity was Lin Anyi’s behavior.
His premonition was right. How could Lin Anyi accept him so easily and even kindly invite him home to meet her? It turned out that she had not given up the idea of letting Xu Qingran marry a woman.
Before he could express his opinion, Xu Qingran's expression changed first.
"Ms. Lin, what do you mean by this? Are you going to tell Miss Feng in front of us that your son actually likes men?"
Lin Anyi was just gambling. She was gambling that Ye Yan would take the initiative to leave Xu Qingran after seeing her attitude, so she was not afraid at all that Xu Qingran would reveal his orientation in front of Feng Xiao, because Feng Xiao had already given her a guarantee before.
“Aunt Lin, I don’t care about the relationship between Qingran and Ye Yan. As long as he is willing to marry me, I am willing to be a generous wife.”
This is something that even Bai Wenwen can't do. How could Lin Anyi let go of such a good candidate for daughter-in-law? So today, she must make Ye Yan give up.
"She knows you like men. Xiaoxiao said she doesn't mind. As long as you get married and have children, she can tolerate Ye Yan's existence. Ye Yan, what do you think? You can't let our Xu family have no successors just because of your love, right?"
Lin Anyi smiled with a determined look. She knew Ye Yan well. She was willing to pay 600 million to terminate the contract if there was a disagreement. How could she be willing to be a shameful lover?
As long as Ye Yan said that he would rather break up than agree, she would succeed. As for whether Xu Qingran could marry Feng Xiao, it didn't matter at all. All she wanted was Ye Yan to leave Xu Qingran.
To be honest, her trick was quite effective. Ye Yan was really angry and wanted to roar at her and tell her "You're dreaming!"
However, he still wanted to give Xu Qingran a chance. Besides being angry, he also wanted to know how Xu Qingran would deal with Lin Anyi's determination to break them up.
So whether Xu Qingran lied to him about eloping with him on the spot or not, the answer will be revealed soon.
Ye Yan did not answer Lin Anyi's question, but quietly suppressed the bad emotions in her heart and waited for Xu Qingran's reaction.
Xu Qingran, whether your mother will get what she wants depends on your performance.
Ye Yan thought to herself, I hope he didn’t forget the promise he made.
He actually remained silent. This was not Ye Yan's character. Xu Qingran immediately realized that things were not that simple.
The Ye Yan he knew would normally be arguing with everyone and not giving anyone face. There was only one reason why he didn't respond, and it was hard to guess without careful consideration.
Xu Qingran smiled, took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Yan. Looking at Lin Anyi's strong attitude, a hint of success appeared in his eyes.
"Mom, you said Miss Feng is willing to be with me, even though I love Ye Yan and won't break up with Ye Yan. Do you know why she is so generous?"
Lin Anyi really didn't know the answer to this question. She thought for a moment and answered casually, "Of course it's because she likes you. So you and Ye Yan should think carefully about it. If you miss out on Xiaoxiao, it will be difficult to find such a suitable marriage partner. Grandpa introduced you to her. Grandpa is doing this for your future. Can you bear to see Grandpa disappointed?"
Every word Lin Anyi said challenged Ye Yan's bottom line, putting him in the position of an immoral lover of a wealthy family.
By the way, morally blackmail Xu Qingran.
When had Ye Yan ever been insulted like this? He could no longer bear it and was about to step forward to have a good argument with Lin Anyi, but Xu Qingran grabbed his arm and signaled him to wait.
Helplessly, he could only take a deep breath and grit his teeth to endure it for the time being. If Xu Qingran's handling method did not satisfy him, it would not be too late for him to express his opinion.
With a mother like this, Xu Qingran must have felt suffocated for the past 20 years.
He thought to himself that the oppression brought by a mother who always opposed him was not much better than the six years he had lived without support and had no food to eat.
"Who told you that grandpa introduced me to a blind date because he wanted me to get married? Or you could ask Miss Feng. I don't believe there is a woman so generous."
Xu Qingran didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. His calmness as if he had already prepared a plan made Lin Anyi feel a sense of foreboding.
So she turned to look at Feng Xiao, who had already placed the cake on the coffee table. When she saw that the topic was about herself, her face immediately showed a look of confusion, as if she had no idea what they were talking about.
"Aunt Lin, I know it's hard for you to accept that your son likes boys, but you can't drag me into this. I, Feng Xiao, am the future heir of the Feng family after all. How could I be so mean? You look down on me too much. Besides, I came here today because Grandpa Xu invited me. I'm not here to meet his parents."
“What?! You…!”
Feng Xiao's words were like those of a traitor who turned against his own side at the last minute, catching Lin Anyi and Ye Yan off guard.
What was going on? Was it that Lin Anyi was just talking to herself and Feng Xiao had no intention of doing that? Could Lin Anyi also be backstabbed?
Ye Yan, who had been silently suppressing her anger, suddenly relaxed a lot and started to watch the show.
"Mom, what else do you have to say now?" Xu Qingran looked at Lin Anyi with the attitude of a winner, as if he had known that Feng Xiao would not cooperate with Lin Anyi, calm and confident.
Lin Anyi was furious and pointed at Feng Xiao and said, "You little girl, you actually lied to me!"
Feng Xiao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Aunt Lin, you think too little of me. Xu Qingran and I only met once. How can you believe that I love him so much that I'm willing to be his wife? This is ridiculous."
"So you're working with them to embarrass me, right? Why?"
Lin Anyi felt that she had lost face and wanted to give Ye Yan a warning, but she didn't expect to be tricked by a few kids instead.
She couldn't understand why they reached such a cooperation after only meeting once. This was the first time she was cheated. Although it was just a small matter, the frustration it brought her was more serious than messing up a billion-dollar business.
"Why? If you had treated Ye Yan well today and not resorted to such tricks, wouldn't this have happened? He came to visit you with sincerity even after being bullied by you like that. As the wife of the chairman of the ATIM Group, you can be so petty. How can I trust you in the future?"
"I'm doing this for your Xu family! Dad, don't you care about your grandson? He's been listening to you since he was a child. Please persuade him!"
Lin Anyi gradually lost her initial confidence because of the humiliating words she spoke, so she wanted to get the old man to join her on the same front.
Unfortunately, she didn't know yet that her last hope had already collapsed.
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, the old man who had been sitting there in silence wiped his hands and stood up.
"Didn't I take care of him? I found Feng Xiao for him. However, I introduced them not to set them up on a blind date, but to let you know that there are many kinds of happiness in this world, and the most important thing is that your children are happy. If you don't make your children happy, you won't have a good life either. Why make things so hard on yourself? Just like Xu Rong was determined to marry you back then, how would you feel if I treated you the same way you treat Ye Yan today? You weren't as capable as Ye Yan back then. He has a net worth of 20 billion now, did you have that when you were 25? Compared to Ye Yan, the only thing you win is your gender."
The only winner is gender.
Lin Anyi, who had been proud for half her life, was left speechless by her father-in-law's words. She felt heartbroken but could not find any reason to refute.
