The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 504: Yan Family Father and Son (Second Update)
Ever since he learned about his background, Jiang Nuo knew that one day he would meet this man, but he never expected it to be in this manner.
Sigh...
Although he had no expectations for his biological father, he never thought they would be at odds one day.
A few days later, it was Old Master Yan’s birthday celebration.
On that day, before the banquet began, Yan Shanchuan made several calls to Zhan Zhengtong from the study, but she didn’t answer and directly hung up.
He frowned, feeling somewhat displeased.
The door to the study suddenly opened, and Yan Hao burst in: "Hey, the old master wants you to come down quickly!"
"Why didn’t you knock before coming in?"
"There’s no secret in your study, why knock? Or are you up to something bad that you don’t want others to know about?" Yan Hao leaned against the door, speaking casually.
"What kind of attitude is this?"
"What attitude? A son’s attitude towards his father? The old master asked me to also find out when Mom is coming back. As the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, it’s such an important day, and she doesn’t show up. What does that mean? Does she still want to be the Yan family’s daughter-in-law? I’ve told you long ago, you shouldn’t marry that woman, you’re just shallow, seeing her beauty and rushing toward it..."
"Get out!" Yan Shanchuan pointed at the doorway and coldly ordered.
"Tch! Go then!" Yan Hao turned and left.
Besides throwing a tantrum, what else can you do? Hmph! Isn’t he just being forced by his Aunt Dongfang to run to the tea house and apologize to him?
Click-click-click...
Just look at his lousy state, I have no idea how his mom and Aunt Dongfang found him appealing back in the day.
"Bang—"
Yan Shanchuan slammed the door shut hard, angrily throwing his phone to the ground.
"Zhan Zhengtong, go ahead and never come back for the rest of your life if you dare!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Downstairs, there was a thriving scene of singing and dancing.
Old Master Yan, all smiling kindly like a Maitreya Buddha, sat on that Taishi chair. Around him were a few old masters of similar age, none other than the other three patriarchs of the Four Great Families: Old Master Ying, Old Master Yue, Old Master Lu, etc., chatting together.
Yan Hao went downstairs and immediately flashed an elegant smile, walking towards Old Master Yan: "Grandpa, Dad is busy right now, he’ll be down in a moment."
"Your dad, always busy with nonsense, even on such an important day. The other old masters have all arrived, and he won’t even come down to meet them." Though his tone seemed reproachful, it actually conveyed closeness, and anyone with insight could tell that the Yan family father and son had a very good relationship.
Old Master Yan seemed to dislike having such a young person like Yan Hao hanging around with them old folks, urging him to quickly find some young company.
"Then Grandpa Ying, Grandpa Yue, Grandpa Lu, you all have a chat with my grandpa first, I’ll go find A-Feng and the others..." Yan Hao was familiar with these old masters, after all, he and their grandsons were known as the "Kyoto Four Young Masters," frequently visiting each other’s homes, so of course, he was familiar.
"Go on, go on, A-Feng and the others are on the lawn outside, who knows what they’re up to," Old Master Ying said with a smile.
"What can they be up to? Those few youngsters, could they have anything serious to do? If they aren’t planning tomorrow’s outing, they’re eyeing some pretty girl, hoping to pursue her," Old Master Yue remarked with a distressed look, "My Youqi is just too much, in such a short time, he’s already changed several girlfriends, I can’t even remember the faces of the young girls."
"Hahaha... it’s normal, my Pudding is the same. They’re young and playful now, not serious. It’s Old Master Yan who’s fortunate, his grandson is obedient and capable, I heard he started his own business early on?" Old Master Lu laughed, "I heard from Pudding that A-Hao has the knack, he found several partners and landed some big project, worth billions."
"Don’t mention it!" Old Master Yan chuckled, "What big project, we don’t even know how much was lost. That kid, still young and brash, he’s got the keen sight but lacks experience, easy to be fooled. The project, who knows how much was lost. But, for a family like ours, losing a few billion is not a big deal, as long as he can learn the skills, it’s better to suffer a bit when young than to suffer after establishing a family and career."
"Yes, yes, indeed! Youngsters today should do more, suffer more, that’s how they grow strong and skilled!"
"Our boy doesn’t make the cut, only knows about women, it worries me."
"Don’t worry, if Youqi doesn’t make it, you still have Youxi, don’t you? Your Youxi is well-known in our circle for being capable. Is he planning to stay long this time?"
"Stay long, stay long, he’ll need a lot of guidance from the younger generation in your family, he’s still young. Last time, he fell for some woman at first sight, but it turned out she was married, and he wouldn’t give up, insisting on marrying her, causing her family to come and have a word... sigh... no matter how capable, when it comes to feelings, he gets confused!"
"I heard about this, isn’t it the grand-aunt of the old Mu family in Capital City? I heard she’s quite young with a high status and married to some celebrity."
"Sigh... I also don’t understand what these old families are thinking? Though in this day and age, we shouldn’t be so feudal, but what kind of place is the entertainment circle? It’s full of all sorts of people, finding someone from that circle isn’t it tarnishing the family name?"
"It’s not just about tarnishing the name, the key is not to spoil the family ethos. If you set such a precedent by bringing someone from the entertainment circle into the family, what happens afterwards? If one after another, more are brought in from the entertainment circle, what will the family become then?"
...
The group of old masters was discussing there.
When Yan Shanchuan came downstairs, he happened to hear the old masters discussing whether the Mu family’s "grand-aunt" should have married someone from the entertainment circle, and whether the head of a big family should permit the family disciples to marry someone from the entertainment circle.
The old masters’ opinion was that it’s okay for a man to have fun with an entertainment industry woman before marriage, but she’s not to be taken as a wife. The entertainment circle, what a place! Smoky and chaotic, best not brought into the household, spoiling the vision.
After marriage, if you secretly maintain an affair with such a one, people might turn a blind eye, but if the wife’s family objects, then don’t maintain it, to avoid family discord over an unclean woman, which isn’t worth it.
Yan Shanchuan was listening attentively when the butler quietly approached and whispered in his ear, "Master, we just got in touch with Lady, and she said her gift has already been prepared and sent over. As for herself, she is not feeling well and inappropriate to attend."
Though Yan Shanchuan somewhat knew in his heart, he still couldn’t help but clench his jaw, "What did you say?"
"Master, it wasn’t me saying it, it was Lady who said she wasn’t feeling well and it was inappropriate for her to attend in person..." The butler didn’t dare to continue because he could clearly feel the chill emanating from his master, sharp enough to freeze to death.
As an old butler who had served the Yan family for decades, he knew that in situations like this, you mustn’t speak rashly, otherwise the one to suffer would only be yourself.
Yan Shanchuan didn’t actually mishear; he just didn’t want to believe it.
