Triplets: Daddy, Please Pamper Us Lightly-Chapter 531 - 530: The Secret That Canโt Be Told_1
Yan Family.
Yan Ling sat on the sofa, appearing oblivious to Yan Qianhong nearby. She quietly asked Aunt Lan about her life in the Yan household. ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.๐ฐ๐ ๐ฆ
Aunt Lan wanted to say something, but when she saw Yan Qianhong next to her, she swallowed her bitterness. She softly asserted that everything was alright.
Yan Ling, naturally, did not believe Aunt Lanโs words.
A middle-aged woman barely in her fifties, was now so frail she seemed fainter than an octogenarian.
If this was considered alright, then no one in this world was living a good life!
Yan Ling comfortingly patted the back of Aunt Lanโs hand, earnestly saying, "Aunt Lan, Iโm not the same girl who could be easily bullied anymore. I can protect you. Whatever matters you have, you can feel safe to tell me."
Aunt Lan felt a mixture of emotion and helplessness.
It wasnโt that she didnโt want to speak. She feared that if she did, it would bring trouble to Yan Ling.
She was old now, halfway into her grave.
Enduring a bit of grievance didnโt matter to her, but Yan Lingโs future was long, and she couldnโt risk it ruined by such shameless and ruthless individuals like Yan Qianhong and Xu Wenjuan!
With these thoughts, Aunt Lan forced a weak smile on her face, "Miss, I genuinely am fine. Iโm living well in the Yan household!"
Seeing that Aunt Lan was determined to hide the truth, Yan Ling couldnโt help but sigh in resignation.
She knew, the problem wasnโt with Aunt Lan. It was Yan Qianhong standing nearby.
His intimidation was keeping Aunt Lan silent!
To discover more, Yan Ling chose to change the topic, "Aunt Lan, are the orchids my mother planted all those years ago still alive? Could you perhaps take me to see them?"
Mentioning the orchids brought a genuine smile to Aunt Lanโs eyes.
She responded with a warm laugh, "Your motherโs favorite pot of orchids... Iโve always cared for it meticulously. Miss, are you going to see the flowers? That pot of orchid is on the balcony of my room. Let me take you there..."
And with those words, Aunt Lan stood up and led Yan Ling toward her room on the first floor.
Yan Qianhong originally wanted to stop them, but upon second thought, recognized that they would be more relaxed if he didnโt interfere, making his next move easier.
They disappeared into a room in the corner, and Aunt Lan cautiously closed the door behind them.
Only after she was certain that there were no sounds of approaching footsteps, did she frantically pull Yan Ling and started, "Miss, you must leave immediately. Itโs not safe here!"
Hearing these words, Yan Ling instinctively furrowed her brows, lowering her voice to question, "Aunt Lan, do you know some secret you canโt tell me?"
Aunt Lan nodded, trying to avoid arousing Yan Qianhongโs attention with short but dense sentence. "Last night, the master paid me a visit, he wanted me to lure you back home with the excuse of a serious illness. I refused, so he had me beaten to this state..."
As she reached this point, Aunt Lanโs voice started to quicken, "Miss, you must go now. Yan Corporation is bankrupt. The Yan family is buried deeply in debt, and the master has no solution to these troubles. I suspect he wants to use you to solve these problems just like how he used your mother twenty-some years ago!"
At these words, Yan Lingโs expression instantly changed, "What do you mean he wants to use me like he used my mother twenty years ago? What did Yan Qianhong do to my mother back then?"
