Chapter 215
After Liu Yanling left, Xiao Jingrui did not say much, but stood aside with Jin Yu, quietly observing how Yan Minnan dealt with the situation.
Yan Minnan lived up to everyone's expectations. He walked straight to the elders and started to settle accounts. He sat down next to Jin Ling and said, "If that's the case, then we should move out of the family. Anyway, we don't care about the so-called glory of the Yan family."
The elders never expected that the other party would look down upon the honor they regarded as a treasure, which made them feel ashamed. The old man who had talked to Yan before retorted with a look of dissatisfaction: "Yan Minnan, you have to think clearly. Once you move out of the family, our Yan family will no longer be your backing. If anything happens in the future, don't expect our Yan family to help you!"
Yan Minnan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and asked, "Who in the Yan family today can be called a talent that can be cultivated?"
Yan Minnan's words were very direct and frank, which made the faces of the elders present extremely ugly. In fact, the Yan family did lack outstanding talents at present, and the only one who could stand out was Yan Minnan himself. However, at this moment, this person declared in front of all the elders that he would remove himself from the family tree.
The others had understood the deep meaning behind Yan Minnan's words, but the elder clan elder seemed to have completely failed to grasp the meaning. For Yan Minnan, he would not be threatened by the Yan family at all. It could even be said that in his eyes, the Yan family was more like a burden that dragged him down. If there was a chance to get rid of this identity, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.
It was useless for that man to understand. He was just there to make up the numbers and had no say at all. He could only watch everyone's decision. He had already decided to discuss with his wife and children after returning home whether he could leave Shanghai and live somewhere else, such as across the sea. His family still had some money now, and he was not afraid that his family members would be bullied if he suddenly went to other places. The most important thing was that he was afraid that one day he would be liquidated within the Yan family.
Yan Minnan didn't try to beat around the bush with the old man and said directly, "Since you've agreed, let's go and remove the family tree tomorrow. By the way, I believe that the Yan family is a man of their words. I will move the graves of my great grandfather and his family out. I hope that no one will stop me by then."
Yan Minnan looked at everyone and said, his eyes were firm and indifferent, as if telling everyone that he was ready for everything.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment. They knew that Yan Minnan did not come back simply to seek justice, but to completely draw a line with the Yan family. They understood that if they continued to stop him, it might lead to a bigger conflict.
Finally, an old man stood up and broke the silence: "Okay, in this case, we will go to the ancestral hall together tomorrow and remove your family's genealogy." His voice carried a hint of helplessness, but more of a compromise.
Yan Minnan nodded slightly, showing his satisfaction. He turned and left, leaving the group of people looking at each other with mixed emotions in their hearts.
Jin Yu did not interfere too much in the matter of Yan Minnan removing the Yan family's genealogy. This was indeed Yan Minnan's family affair, and as a brother-in-law, there was really nothing for him to interfere. After all, this matter was not about his sister being treated unfairly. If this matter was related to his sister, or if his sister had been hurt, then he, Jin Yu, had the right to take action.
After the old man finished speaking, he took his people away. However, the man who had just quarreled with Yan Minnan didn't want to leave at all. He felt that his rights had been violated and his dignity had been insulted. He had no intention of letting Yan Minnan and his family go so easily.
The old man didn't care at all that the old men left, and still stood there and said, "This matter can't be let go like this. What do you mean by there is no one left in the Yan family? I tell you, you can remove the family tree, but you must compensate our Yan family."
His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if the whole world owed him something. Yan Minnan looked at him coldly, and a feeling of disgust surged in his heart. This person was greedy and selfish, only thinking about gaining benefits from others, but never considering whether his behavior was right.
Yan Minnan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Compensation? What qualifications do you have to ask for compensation? The Yan family has no descendants now, so what contributions have you, the so-called clansmen, made to the family? What does it have to do with my family? You actually want compensation from me?"
The old man was speechless, but he still refused to give up and continued to pester: "No matter what, your family's current courtyard has always been managed by our Yan family. We have been helping for nearly twenty years. You can't just remove the family tree and not pay us for our help. This is too unfair to us!"
Jin Ting was stunned when he heard this. There is actually such a way to ask for compensation in this world! Yan Minnan was also so angry that she laughed out loud, but her eyes were full of coldness. She said coldly: "Money for helping to manage? Very good, then let's settle this account carefully. Where are the items that my Yan family once owned now? Since you claim to be helping our family manage property, you should know the whereabouts of these items. If you can't hand over these items, it can only mean that you are stealing from the public!"
Yan Minnan's words left the old man speechless. He widened his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, but he could not refute. In fact, the Yan family did have a lot of property and precious items, but except for the part that was robbed by those foreign devils, most of them fell into the hands of the Yan family. Among them, Yan Xing and the old man were the biggest beneficiaries.
Although they knew they were in the wrong, the Yan family did not show any remorse. They took advantage of the fact that Yan Minnan had no evidence and continued to accuse her unreasonably. One of them even shouted, "Who knows, will you come up with a fake and let us take the blame for you? I tell you, if you don't pay compensation, don't even think about removing the family tree easily!"
Yan Minnan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile. He looked at the people in front of him coldly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He disdained to argue with these people, because facts speak louder than words. He turned to Jin Yu and said firmly: "Brother, let me see today when is the best time to move the graves, and where is the best place to move Grandpa and the others." After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added: "By the way, after the end, we will give it as it should be, and this rule cannot be broken."
Yan Minnan's resolute attitude shocked everyone. He not only had the courage to face the injustice in his family, but also the determination to uphold the dignity of his ancestors. His firm belief and decisive actions made everyone present look at him with awe.
