Chapter 787: Chapter 788 Yan Family People_1

Thank you, Brother "_Ye Zi.," for your support and for being here!

"Sir, we need to take this raw stone to the back for cutting. Could you please let Boss Tang know?" The only staff member who recognized Li Changlin was there, and since Tang Hongyuan was on the phone, it was not good to disturb him.

Therefore, the staff member approached Li Changlin directly.

Li Changlin glanced sidelong at Tang Hongyuan and, seeing him still engrossed in his phone conversation, said indifferently, "There’s no need for all the trouble. Just get a cutting machine here, and we’ll do the cutting in this place."

In fact, Li Changlin did not want to attract so much attention.

But the situation was out of his hands now, and he didn’t want any accidents along the way, so he couldn’t let the raw stone out of his sight.

Although Li Changlin’s thoughts might have seemed a bit far-fetched, the tricks in gambling on stones were too deep, and he had to guard against them!

"This, this seems a bit against the rules!" The staff member smiled sheepishly and immediately turned to look at a middle-aged man in his forties beside him.

The middle-aged man, dressed in grey, also slightly frowned upon hearing Li Changlin’s request.

However, they wouldn’t refuse a customer’s request as long as it was reasonable.

So after pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man instructed the staff member to hurry and prepare the tools.

Since the guest wanted to do the cutting in the hall, he naturally would not object.

If good things could be cut from the raw stone, it might even help advertise his store.

And if there was nothing in the raw stone, it wouldn’t be his loss anyway.

"Brother Li," Tang Hongyuan had finished the call on his end, "Everything is arranged. The people from the Tang Family will be here soon."

"Good, I’ve already told them to do the cutting here," Li Changlin smiled and nodded, then introduced Tang Hongyuan to the raw stone store owner.

As the one paying, Tang Hongyuan naturally had the say. Li Changlin had no desire to put himself forward.

Tang Hongyuan exchanged pleasantries with the raw stone store owner, uttering the insubstantial niceties of "long-admired" and "pleased to meet," while a man familiar with Tang Hongyuan had already strode over.

"Tang Hongyuan, since when has the Tang Family started gambling on stones? I must remind you, it’s not so fun. Be careful not to fall flat on your face!" The newcomer was a young man not yet thirty, a playboy who came with a not-so-friendly air.

Seeing this person, Tang Hongyuan couldn’t help but change his expression and said in a low voice, "Wang Wenhuan, mind your own business!"

It seemed, Tang Hongyuan and this Wang Wenhuan were not on good terms.

"I don’t want to deal with your mess. It’s just that this matter involves Jing’er, and I don’t want to see you squander the Tang Family’s assets!" Wang Wenhuan was the legitimate son of the Wang Family from the provincial city. He had always been infatuated with Yun Jing from the great provincial city’s Yun Family. However, as Wang Wenhuan was fervently pursuing Yun Jing, Cheng Yaojin got involved out of nowhere, and the Tang Family directly proposed a marriage to the Yun Family.

Compared to Tang Hongyuan, Wang Wenhuan was naturally no match.

Although he was a legitimate son, he was not the eldest, and he would have no chance to inherit the Family’s property in the future.

Yun Jing did have a fondness for Wang Wenhuan, but she couldn’t defy the Yun Family’s decision.

The Tang Family was a jeweler’s Family, one of the largest and most influential families in the entire Nanfu Province.

Apart from the Chen Family, the richest family in the capital of Nanfu Province, perhaps only the Yan Family could contend with them.

The Yan Family had also established itself with jewelry, and naturally, they were business rivals of the Tang Family in the industry; in fact, this was the reason why Tang Hongyuan and Yan Xueyi had competed in Jincheng for the jade stone.

Seizing a piece of jade stone for oneself meant diminishing one opportunity for the other side.

In such matters, it was impossible for members of the two families to stand by and watch the other succeed.

"Nephew Tang, you really are spirited!" Just then, a calm voice sounded, and Yan Xiaozhong, who was in charge of the Jade Antique Market in the capital for the Yan Family, came over smiling, accompanied by several people.

These days, Yan Xiaozhong was extremely happy, extremely thrilled.

Recently, after Yan Xueyi had an accident in Jincheng that left him vegetative, the Second Branch of the Yan Family, which had initially had no hope for family power, seemed to see the door of power beckoning to them.

The Yan Family Main Branch only had Yan Xueyi, while Zeng Yi was a girl and had also taken her mother’s surname, making it obvious that she couldn’t inherit the Yan Family business.

Therefore, during this period, Yan Xiaozhong had been connecting with the family elders, hoping to gain their support and force his father to shift the inheritance rights to the Second Branch.

Being a son of a Family Head too, if the Main Branch could inherit the family business, why couldn’t the Second Branch!

This matter had been planned by Yan Xiaozhong for many days, and among the family elders, some had already nodded, agreeing to find a time to bring up the issue of the heir with the Family Head.

Once this was successful, he, Yan Xiaozhong, would become the next Family Head of the Yan Family.

Although Yan Xiaoren, the elder brother, was technically the eldest son, since his son had had an incident and was without an heir, it was surely only a matter of time before he was stripped of his inheritance rights!

"So it’s Uncle Yan!" On seeing the newcomer, Tang Hongyuan’s expression changed slightly, and he promptly raised his hand in a respectful greeting.

"Members of the Yan Family?" Li Changlin’s gaze grew sharp, and he was also somewhat apprehensive whether Zeng Yi had informed her family about his affairs.

If the Yan Family knew that he had incapacitated Yan Xueyi, he wondered if they would fight to the death with him!

Thinking back on that day’s events, to be honest, Li Changlin did have some regrets.

But unfortunately, because of Zeng Yi, Li Changlin really couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless.

In fact, Yan Xueyi was but a minor irritant; since he had already decided to spare him that day, closing off the other’s thinking was really superfluous!

Shaking his head inwardly, Li Changlin naturally maintained a hint of caution in his heart.

If the Yan Family knew of such an enemy’s existence, he would probably have no choice but to take decisive action and completely eradicate the Yan Family!

Because of the Chen Si incident, Li Changlin’s heart had already undergone a tremendous change.

Although he had let Chen Si go that day, if that fellow dared to seek revenge, Li Changlin wouldn’t hesitate to take ruthless action anymore.

"Nephew Tang, that raw stone is quite fine indeed; just now, I was also planning to bid, but I didn’t expect Nephew Tang to be so decisive. If anything good comes out later, you must certainly sell it to Yan!" Yan Xiaozhong scoffed with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, a mocking glint flashing across his gaze.

"Uncle Yan cracks a joke. My Tang Family is in the jewelry business too; there’s no reason to let go of a good find once it’s revealed." Tang Hongyuan couldn’t quite discern Yan Xiaozhong’s intentions yet, but he was already on alert inside.

This guy had a reputation as a ’smiling tiger,’ so he’d better be careful not to be outsmarted by him.
