Chapter 31 The Secrets of the Lan Family
No one expected Lan Sitong to drag Yuan Niaoniao into the conversation so directly, using foul language and showing no mercy whatsoever.
The three members of the Yuan family looked grim. Being schemed against by the daughter they had raised for many years was a disgraceful thing.
Yuan Yangyang, however, had no sense of shared honor or disgrace. She was engrossed in watching the drama unfold when she heard Lan Sitong drag Yuan Niaoniao into the mix, and her eyes lit up as she watched the spectacle unfold.
Lan Sitong completely ignored Lan Xingyao's warning and spoke ill of the Yuan family members.
"Don't tell me you don't know. In today's events, I was at most an accomplice. From beginning to end, the one who contributed the most and wanted to make this happen the most was Yuan Niaoniao."
"You're talking nonsense. If you hadn't used your resources in the entertainment industry to lure Niao Niao, she wouldn't have done any of this. It was all your scheme. If it weren't for you, our family would still be fine."
Yuan Sicheng couldn't stand Lan Sitong shifting all the blame onto Yuan Niaoniao, and retorted indignantly.
"Ha!" Lan Sitong laughed at Yuan Sicheng's naivety.
She had always disliked the way the Yuan family doted on Yuan Niaoniao. Thinking of Yuan Niaoniao's scheming against her, Lan Sitong decided to go all out and expose Yuan Niaoniao's facade.
She wanted to see if the Yuan family would still dote on her as before once they learned Yuan Niaoniao's true colors.
She glanced at Yuan Sicheng with a flippant look and said in a contemptuous tone, "I admit, Young Master Yuan is not bad-looking, but he's not so bad that I can't live without him after just one meeting."
Lan Sitong raised her hand and brushed her long, wavy hair back, speaking confidently, "I, Lan Sitong, have seen a lot over the years. What kind of man haven't I seen?"
"If Yuan Niaoniao hadn't been constantly telling me how outstanding and caring you are, do you think I would have even noticed you?"
"If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Niaoniao and I are best friends, and that she's working so hard at her sales pitch, I wouldn't bother with you at all."
"I admit I was wrong today, but at most I was just passively accepting it. When a man comes knocking on your door, you can't just turn down a free lunch. You're all men, you should understand!"
"And the person who worked so hard to make it happen is your Yuan family's good daughter. This has nothing to do with me."
Lan Sitong was spoiled by her family since childhood, and acted recklessly without considering the consequences. With her words, she trampled on the face of the Yuan family and treated Yuan Sicheng like a piece of merchandise delivered to her door.
The Yuan family was furious, and Yuan Sicheng's temples were bulging with veins.
Ironically, she was absolutely right. The one who pushed her own brother into the fire the most and was the most enthusiastic was Yuan Niaoniao, the good daughter of the Yuan family.
This left them speechless.
However, no matter what Yuan Niaoniao is like, it's not up to Lan Sitong, who's cut from the same cloth, to come over and spout nonsense.
This isn't an apology; it's clearly an attempt to sabotage the event.
Lan Xingyao's face turned ashen. Before coming to the Yuan family, he had repeatedly warned Lan Sitong, but he never expected that she would not take his words seriously at all and would actually spout nonsense in front of the Yuan family head.
He brought her here to apologize and make amends, not to add fuel to the fire. Is Lan Sitong trying to humiliate the Yuan family because she thinks the relationship between the two families isn't tense enough?
Although the two companies are involved in different fields, there is no reason for them to make enemies!
She's really spoiled by her parents; she's completely immature.
He could tolerate her disrespect at home, as she was his sister, and he wouldn't hold it against her. But he wouldn't tolerate her behavior towards outsiders.
On the Yuan family's territory, in front of everyone in the Yuan family, they dared to spout such nonsense. Didn't they see that the fourth young master of the Yuan family looked like he wanted to eat people?
If it weren't for the Yuan family's good upbringing, and if he hadn't been there, Lan Sitong would probably have been kicked out with a broom long ago.
If this continues, we're bound to make a huge mess of things.
Just as Lan Xingyao was about to press Lan Sitong's head down to force her to apologize, a voice suddenly popped into his mind, striking a chord deep within him.
[I only knew that the Lan family's daughter was spoiled rotten and a lecherous woman, but I never imagined she was also such a good-for-nothing. How could she say something so brainless? Isn't she just making enemies of the Lan family?]
That's absolutely right. Lan Sitong really is brainless. She indulges in three vices: eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. She's a fool who only makes enemies and causes trouble instead of helping others.
Although she was his younger sister, for some reason, he could never develop deep feelings for Lan Sitong.
The reason I keep cleaning up her messes is because of my parents; I don't want to put them in a difficult position.
but.
Where is that sound coming from?
Lan Xingyao glanced around discreetly, his gaze finally settling on Yuan Yangyang, who was watching the spectacle unfold.
Besides his sister, Yuan Yangyang was the only woman present. Could the voice have come from her?
Just as Lan Xingyao was puzzled, the voice rang out again.
[This eldest young master of the Lan family is really unlucky. He already works hard enough working for Lan Sitong at the company, and after work he still has to clean up all sorts of messes for her.]
Working two jobs but only getting paid for one, and then getting blamed by your parents for not protecting your younger sister—you're the chosen one, the biggest scumbag!
Noticing Yuan Yangyang's pitying gaze, Lan Xingyao fell silent.
It really was Yuan Yangyang; was this her true feeling?
The Yuan family father and son: ...
What did they hear? Yangyang actually knows about these things that happen inside other wealthy families. How impressive!
[The Lan family parents are truly despicable; their favoritism knows no bounds. They neglect their capable and sensible son, yet they spoil that lecherous and dissolute young lady rotten.]
[In the eyes of Lan's parents, Lan Xingyao, such an outstanding and capable person, was merely someone who worked for Lan Sitong and cleaned up her messes. Who would have thought that the seemingly glamorous general manager actually owned no shares in the company?]
[Meanwhile, Lan Sitong holds 20% of the shares, spending her days eating, drinking, and having fun while waiting for her share of the money—living the life of a spoiled brat to the fullest. It's truly astonishing how different the treatment is under the circumstances! Two different treatments for the same family's children.]
Lan Xingyao was shocked.
Lan Xingyao was not convinced.
He still owns five percent of the shares.
Moreover, it had been agreed beforehand that the 30% of shares held by his mother were for him. At the time, because he had just taken over the company, his mother felt that he should not be too high-profile, so she did not immediately transfer the shares to him.
However, he also promised that once he had established himself in the company, he would receive all the shares.
Lan Sitong's shares were transferred to her by her father. When the shareholding ratio between the two of them was decided, Lan Sitong's shares were transferred to her.
His shares are still in his mother's hands. Over the years, his mother may have forgotten about them. Anyway, they are family, so the transfer of shares is just a formality, and he doesn't particularly care.
[Lan Xingyao's mother is truly ruthless. She even schemes against her own son. The shares clearly belong to Lan Xingyao, but she insists on keeping them under the guise of doing what's best for him, intending to leave them to her daughter!]
[By then, Lan Sitong will be the company's largest shareholder, and Lan Xingyao will just be a tool for generating revenue for her. This move is truly brilliant and ruthless!]
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet this woman is even more ruthless than a tiger. No wonder there's the term "tigress"—she only wants to devour her sons!
The Yuan father and son were dumbfounded, never expecting that the Lan family had such a secret.
