Chapter 130 The Doctrine of the Mean
Mr. Fang and Fang Yulong looked at each other without changing their expressions.
This one is different from what you imagined, isn't it?
Originally, they planned to test Ye Yan's depth.
Others may not know the inside story, but they both know that Ye Yan and Qin Zhongmou have a close relationship.
Ye Yan also has absolute strength and controls the overall situation.
On the one hand, this test is to see what Ye Yan has up his sleeve, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Ye Yan will take action to intimidate some villains in the family.
But no one expected that Ye Yan would retreat to advance again.
"Ahem...Mr. Ye, I heard that your clinic is about to open?"
Seeing that Ye Yan did not play by the rules, Mr. Fang immediately changed the subject.
Ye Yan nodded.
"Not bad!"
Old Master Fang took a deep breath and said, "But I also heard that the Luo family has announced that your clinic is doomed to fail!"
"I really want to see if the Hall of All Beings can withstand the pressure..."
Before he finished speaking, the others instantly understood what he meant.
"That's a good idea!"
"Mr. Ye, although the Fang family has some cooperation with the Hall of All Beings, this cooperation can only be fully launched once the Hall of All Beings officially opens!"
"We are looking forward to hearing from you and wish Mr. Ye a prosperous opening!"
Ye Yan glanced at Old Man Fang with a half-smile.
"No need to go to so much trouble. Whether the clinic opens or not has nothing to do with the Fang family's choice!"
"The Fang family can just take this opportunity to withdraw without forcing themselves."
After he finished speaking, Ye Yan suddenly stood up and walked away.
Fang Yulong suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Ye, please calm down. Our Fang family definitely does not mean that..."
Mr. Fang's expression suddenly froze.
The other senior members of the Fang family present were furious.
"How arrogant! Do you really think that our Fang family must have Young Master Qin?"
"Humph, is this Qin Zhongmou's sincerity? Compared to the Tianwu Sect, it's far inferior!"
Ye Yan paused, his lips slightly raised.
"I never said that the Fang family must choose Qin Zhongmou, they must choose me!"
"But as long as you choose me, I will give you everything you deserve!"
"If I don't give it to you, no one has the right to snatch it away!"
"Don't do these meaningless little tricks in front of me in the future."
At this moment, Mr. Fang finally panicked.
"Mr. Ye, please stay!"
However, Ye Yan turned a deaf ear and walked out with big strides.
There were still sarcastic voices coming from behind him, and Mr. Fang's face became more and more gloomy.
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Yulong, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and catch up!"
When Fang Yulong arrived at the gate, Ye Yan had already gotten into the car and left.
Inside the car, Jin Linger's heart sank when she saw Ye Yan's expression.
"Why, the negotiations with the Fang family were not going well?"
Ye Yan took a deep breath.
"Powerful and aristocratic families, who have held high positions for a long time, have their worries and concerns, which is natural."
"There is no shortage of people who would like to add icing on the cake, but few are willing to help when times are tough."
Jin Ling'er couldn't help but frown.
"But... there's no reason! The Fang family has long been on the same boat with Young Master Qin!"
Ye Yan shook his head slightly.
"No, they never turned to Qin Zhongmou, but to the Qin family behind Qin Zhongmou!"
"Judging from the Fang family's current attitude, Qin Er's situation in the capital is probably not very good."
At first, Jin Ling'er didn't quite understand.
But soon, she received news from Jin Shanhe.
Just as Ye Yan guessed, Qin Er did encounter trouble in the capital.
He was not only suspended but also under investigation.
Even the Qin family behind him did not seem to support him and turned to show goodwill towards Luo Tianshen.
To be precise, it is a gesture of goodwill towards the Tianwu Sect behind Luo Tianshen, and even towards all the hidden sects.
Ye Yan sighed.
"This is the tragedy of the aristocratic families! They only care about profit and protecting their own rights."
"No matter how outstanding Qin Zhongmou is, he cannot compare to the interests and future of the family."
Jin Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little worried about Qin Zhongmou.
"So what should we do now? Unfortunately, the Jin family has a shallow foundation and cannot help Young Master Qin..."
At this moment, she was indeed worried.
If Qin Zhongmou falls, the Jin family will probably be in trouble too.
However, Ye Yan smiled and casually stretched his hand out of the car window, feeling the warmth of the wind.
"Don't worry, Qin Er won't be defeated so easily!"
"Speaking of which, he hates those powerful families and the privileged class even more than I do."
"If he wants to play, let him do it."
Jin Ling'er was confused and didn't quite understand what Ye Yan meant.
But there was at least one thing she understood, that was that Qin Zhongmou probably had a backup plan and there was no need to worry too much.
"As for the Fang family..."
If we fall out with the Fang family and lose the Fang family's supply of medicinal materials, the opening time of the clinic will be postponed indefinitely.
The most important thing is that the Fang family’s attitude can change a lot of things.
The smile on Ye Yan's face became even more intense.
"You don't understand the mind of that old fox from the Fang family!"
"If we go along with him and show him our cards, he'll only look down on us and continue to be a fence-sitter. If we're ever at a disadvantage, this kind of person won't mind stepping on us a few more times."
"By retreating in this way, he will become fearful and will not dare to confront us directly or make up his mind to join the Tianwu Sect."
Jin Ling'er frowned: "You mean, you're deliberately teasing him? But it's impossible for him to truly surrender like this..."
Ye Yan sighed lightly and shook his head.
"Rely on me? Do I need you?"
"Everything is just a matter of interests!"
"When he realized who could bring him greater benefits, his heart was more sincere than anyone else's!"
For a moment, Jin Ling'er felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the Jin family stood firmly on Ye Yan's side.
If they were like the Fang family, only considering interests and trying to please everyone, they would never be trusted by Ye Yan.
of course.
It is precisely because of the Fang family’s status as a powerful and aristocratic family.
It was destined that they could not trust Ye Yan unconditionally and stand on the same side with him.
Just as Ye Yan expected.
Even though most of the senior members of the Fang family were willing to join the Tianwu Sect.
But Old Master Fang still secretly instructed Fang Yulong to try his best to build a good relationship with Ye Yan, especially to ensure that the supply of medicine to Zhongsheng Hall was not cut off.
Fang Yulong was puzzled: "Grandpa, you clearly have many concerns about joining the Tianwu Sect. Why are you unwilling to stand firmly on the side of Qin Shao and Ye Yan?"
There was no expression of joy or anger on Mr. Fang's face.
"You don't understand, this is the survival rule of the powerful and aristocratic families!"
"Even if we lose the bet on Tianwu Sect, with you here, the Fang family will still stand firm!"
"But if we place all our bets on Ye Yan and Qin Zhongmou... our Fang family can't afford to lose!"
At this point, he sighed.
"Originally, I wanted to test Ye Yan and get more key information from him in case of emergency."
"But this little fox is trying to advance by retreating, putting me in a dilemma..."
On the other hand, the news of Qin Zhongmou's precarious situation in the capital spread throughout the wealthy circle of Jiangdong.
Tang Yuerou seemed to have received the news as well, and asked Ye Yan to meet her, her tone full of worry.
In the evening, Ye Yan rushed to the restaurant where he had an appointment.
But the first person he saw was not Tang Yuerou, but Tang Yuerou's cousin He Yuelian.
He Yuelian looked unhappy, and the contempt and resentment in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Why are you here? Where's Yuerou?"
Ye Yan was a little confused and asked casually.
He Yuelian snorted coldly: "Don't look for her, she won't come!"
"Ye Yan, if you really like Yue Rou and wish her well, you should stay away from her in the future!"
"You don't want her to be implicated by you, to have her family destroyed and her life ruined, right?"
