The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

All the Yan family members present were well aware of Yan Ling's abilities, which were on a completely different level from those of Yan Qing, who ranked second.

If Yan Ling is capable of leading the Yan family to expand their territory, then Yan Qing is at best a ruler who can only defend a city. Even that is only under the premise that other families don't have many talented people. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the Yan family to maintain its current prestige.

Therefore, Yan Wuxiao's original idea was that after Yan Ling stepped down, Yan Qing would take over as the head of the family, while Yan Ling would serve as Yan Qing's deputy and assist him.

In this way, his lineage can suppress the second lineage without damaging the overall strength of the Yan family.

But now Yan Ling wants to leave the Yan family. Wouldn't that be handing over the Yan family of Haicheng to those old guys in the capital?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Ling'er, do you think the position of head of our Yan family is something you can sit in whenever you want and not sit in whenever you don't want to? I'll give you a chance. Take back the treasonous words you just said, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

As Yan Wuxiao finished speaking, Yan Qing, who had been beaming with joy, was instantly stunned and couldn't help but look up at Yan Wuxiao.

"Grandpa, why? Just like the eldest son said, it is the father's fault if the son is not taught. Xiao Fan has such inappropriate thoughts about Xiao Yu, and he is to blame. It is only right that he resigns from his position as head of the family, and it would even be reasonable to expel him from the Yan family."

"Shut up!"

Looking at his grandson, on whom he had placed so much hope, Yan Wuxiao was almost driven mad with anger.

I originally thought Yan Qing was a decent person, but now it seems that compared to Yan Ling, he is worlds apart and not even in the same league.

Yan Wuqian, on the other hand, realized what was happening and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of his most outstanding grandson, he is quick-witted and his strategy of retreating to advance was truly brilliant.

It seems I, this old man, have to lend him a hand.

"Brother, Xiaoqing is right. This wretched child has committed such a grave error, and as his father, I must bear the responsibility. Therefore, I also believe that he must be removed from his position as head of the family and expelled from the Yan family along with this wretched child, as a warning to others!"

"Great-grandfather..."

Yan Haochen and Yan Fan were completely dumbfounded, having no idea why even their second great-grandfather had agreed to their father's actions.

Are they still half asleep today, or has the world completely gone mad?

Just as the two were about to speak, Yan Ling looked at them, shook her head, and gestured for them to be quiet.

In an instant, the two had a sudden inspiration and chose to keep quiet.

How could those two possibly see through their schemes in front of these old foxes?

Since my father and great-grandfather said that, they must have their reasons!

"Second brother, you fucking shut up too!"

Yan Wuxiao was about to go crazy with anger. What kind of idiots are these? What time is it? They are still thinking about fighting for power and profit.

Did he really think Yan Wuxiao couldn't see through the second brother's little scheme? It was nothing more than a feigned retreat!

Has this guy forgotten what it means to share both prosperity and adversity?

As Yan Wuxiao erupted in anger, the entire ancestral hall of the Yan family fell silent. After a long silence, Yan Ling finally spoke.

"Grandpa, what Ling'er just said was after careful consideration. Xiao Fan has suffered too much since he was a child. Although he has received the best education in the years since he was found, he has missed the best time for education. His future achievements will be limited to this. I am not even sure if Xiao Fan can survive in society if he is expelled from the Yan family."

"As a father, I can't just stand by and watch him suffer. I believe I'm capable enough to protect him for the rest of his life, even if I'm the only one who can do it."

Yan Ling's words instantly moved Yan Fan to tears. He had originally thought that his father's previous words were purely out of scheming, but he never expected it was for him...

Standing to the side, Yan Haochen's face was as pale as paper. He could almost feel the mockery in the eyes of all the Yan family members present.

Yes, he really is his own son. For his own son, the father was willing to give up a life of luxury and start from scratch to build a better future for him!

But what about me? Didn't my father ever think about what would happen to me if I left his protection?

"As for Hao Chen, he has received the best education over the years and his grades in all aspects are outstanding, which is obvious to everyone. After he finishes his studies, he will be sent to Yan's company for an internship. With the abilities he has shown, it will not be a problem for him to become the head of a branch or the general manager of the group."

As she spoke, Yan Ling cast an apologetic glance at Yan Haochen.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, your father will have to trouble you. But I believe you are very capable. With your abilities, even without my protection, you can still make a name for yourself. But your brother is different. He is not capable enough. Without my care, he might not be able to survive."

In fact, in Yan Ling's heart, his adopted son Yan Haochen was really outstanding, far more outstanding than his biological son Yan Fan. Therefore, he believed that even without his protection, Yan Haochen could still make a name for himself.

As for her own son Yan Fan, he is truly incompetent. She has already let down his mother, and she has let him down even more. Therefore, she absolutely cannot let him go hungry in his next life.

Yan Ling's words instantly made Yan Haochen's already pale face turn even paler. He finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot!

Is he outstanding? No, he's very ordinary. So ordinary that if he didn't have Yan Ling's protection, he probably wouldn't even be able to beg for food on the streets!

His previous excellent performance was purely due to money and his status as the eldest young master of the Yan family, all so that Yan Ling would pay more attention to him instead of Yan Fan, this wild child from the countryside!

But now, he's being asked to rely on his own abilities to actually fight a real battle?

Just as Yan Haochen was regretting it so much he couldn't breathe, Yan Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, followed by a soul-wrenching pain. In just an instant, he was drenched in cold sweat.

The pain came and went quickly. Before anyone except Yan Ling, who was watching Yan Fan closely, noticed anything amiss, he had already returned to normal, but his eyes were filled with confidence and ambition.

Yan Fan knew very well that he was no longer the ordinary and incompetent Yan Fan who could only gain attention by imitating Ye Linyuan!

He is from five years in the future!

Five years later, Yan Fan was able to barely exchange a blow with Ye Linyuan!

Of course, it's limited to just one move, but the Ye Linyuan of today is not the Ye Linyuan of five years from now who has almost unified the power of the eight major families. What's more, he also has the advantage of being able to foresee the future!

This time, Ye Linyuan, I will make you grovel at my feet, Yan Fan!

While thinking about the bright future, Yan Fan slightly raised his head, glanced at Yan Ling, his eyes filled with emotion, and then looked at Yan Haochen, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.

If things had unfolded as they did in his previous life, he and his father would have been expelled from the Yan family today, while Yan Haochen would have remained in the Yan family. However, it wouldn't be long before his original genius persona would be exposed!

The Yan family originally took him in part because he was Yan Ling's adopted son, and partly because they valued his abilities. But now that Yan Ling is no longer with the Yan family, and he no longer possesses the abilities he had previously demonstrated, the result was predictable: he was quickly kicked out of the Yan family's home.

Even though his father was kicked out of the Yan family, his father did not give up on him and treated him as before, even better than when he was in the Yan family!

But this bastard who dominated the first half of his life eventually colluded with Ye Linyuan, pushing the entire Yan family, including him and his father, into destruction!

He was kicked out simply to get revenge on the Yan family!

This is an ungrateful viper!

Now that he knew what would happen in the future, he absolutely could not let his father repeat the same mistakes!

"Wait! Father, hear me out!"

Just as Yan Fan was reborn and ready to rise against the odds and dominate the world, Luo Qingyue and Luo Qingxuan appeared at the entrance of a scenic farm on the outskirts of Sencheng, escorting Pei Sijing with a group of people.

"Luo Qingyue, the head of the Luo family, requests an audience with the two seniors!"
