Chapter 508: 508 Holding Ye Wanlan’s hand, the Capital Circle’s Crown Prince! [2 updates]

How precious is the opportunity to interview at Shenzhou University?

Although qualifying for an interview doesn’t guarantee admission to Shenzhen University, such chances are rare indeed.

Ye Wanlan missed it, and I’m afraid there won’t be a second person as kind-hearted as she was in this lifetime.

Even if Shenzhou University ultimately doesn’t accept her, she would have grown in her experiences at the Global Center.

How could Ye Wanlan not understand such a simple concept?

She truly is a frog at the bottom of the well, short-sighted.

"Alas..." Old Master Kang’s gaze was heavy, "Your grandaunt is such a person, not leaving heirs for the Kang Family, nor caring for her own daughter, her nature is too cold."

Zhu Qingxian had neither family background nor brought any benefits to the Kang Family, had it not been for Kang Mufeng’s stubbornness and the fact that it was modern society, he would have wanted to drive this woman out of the Kang Family long ago.

"Grandpa, aren’t I still here?" Kang Lejia cooed, "Dad, Mom, and I will always be on your and Grandma’s side, so there’s no need to bother with irrelevant people anymore."

"Good, good!" Old Master Kang was charmed, his mood blooming, "Lejia is sensible. Forget about others, let the butler pack up. Grandpa and Grandma will accompany you to the Global Center for the interview."

In his heart, Old Master Kang’s disappointment in Kang Mufeng grew.

He himself was a feudal man, believing that everything in the family should rightfully be inherited by the eldest son.

Kang Mufeng had no interest in the family business and was always out and about with Zhu Qingxian, for reasons unbeknownst to anyone.

Initially, Ye Wanlan had given him a glimmer of hope, but since she repeatedly rejected his goodwill, Kang Lejia was the only one he could entrust the Kang Family to with peace of mind.

Kang Lejia also kept an eye on Old Master Kang’s expression, lowering her head to hide the smile in her eyes.

Ye Wanlan would never know what she truly lost and missed out on.

**

This year in Jiangcheng, the changes were earth-shattering.

The Fang Family found their true daughter, the Sheng Family was reclaimed by the rightful heir, the eldest son of the Zhou Family awoke, the second son lost power, and the Qin Family was even taken over by the second daughter, Qin Zhi.

The Xu Family’s situation was rather tragic, being reported during another gray transaction, their trade chain collapsed in an instant, soon to be annexed by the other four major families.

Now in Jiangcheng, there were only the Four Major Families left in a powerful stand.

Few knew that all these changes came from the hands of Ye Wanlan.

The news that the Jiangcheng Lin Family was heading to Yunjing was also known to the sect leaders of the Zhou, Sheng, Fang, and Qin families, who came to extend their congratulations.

"Miss Ye, there’s really nothing I can help with for your trip to Yunjing," Zhou Heyuan said with a smile, "but if Miss Ye needs anything, just let me know, and the Zhou Family will definitely be there."

Sheng Huaiqian also nodded: "Without Miss Ye’s help in the past, I wouldn’t be standing where I am today."

Qin Zhi stepped forward, bowing deeply to Ye Wanlan: "Miss Ye, thank you."

For the first twenty years of her life, because of her gender, she received unfair treatment from family and society.

She thought that her life would end in an arranged marriage.

It was the appearance of Ye Wanlan that gave her the chance to take power.

"Why so formal as if it’s a farewell to death?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, speaking unhurriedly, "At Pulling the Sky Company’s anniversary celebration, I welcome you all to attend."

During the winter holidays, under the leadership of Fang Qingli, Pulling the Sky had already entered Yunjing.

With the backing of the Xiang Family and Zhaoyan Group, Pulling the Sky’s development went smoothly.

But to further expand into the international market and become a globally renowned luxury brand, there was still some time needed.

Catika, Seres, and Freya Yinnide, the three top luxury brands, remained towering mountains.

"Definitely," Fang Qinghan said with a smile, "My little sister is now more formidable than our entire family, after this busy period, I will definitely visit her in Yunjing."

Ye Wanlan nodded slightly: "Farewell, everyone."

**

Shenzhou only has flights to the Global Center from Yunjing International Airport, so Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli naturally also followed Lin Huaijin and Khor Peiqing to arrive in Yunjing first.

She had already purchased a villa in Yunjing early on, far away from the city center and the locations of the Five Great Families.

"Eh?" Lin Huaijin was surprised, "Ah Lan, this house looks exactly like the old house your grandmother left behind."

Ye Wanlan hummed in assent, "The furnishings inside are the same too."

"Ah Lan, you are considerate." Khor Peiqing smiled, "Your uncle has been fretting the whole way to Yunjing about not being accustomed to the local conditions, my ears are almost calloused from hearing it."

"Hold on, with such a good location and convenient transportation, how much did the housing cost?" Lin Huaijin’s heart became anxious again, "Ah Lan, you don’t earn money easily, don’t go bankrupt!"

"It’s not bought, it was given by a friend." Ye Wanlan set down the luggage, "Uncle, rest assured. In the few days that Wenli and I are not here, I’ve also found a friend to keep you company and stave off boredom."

Lin Huaijin nodded, then began to curiously wander around the house.

"Sister, which friend did you find?" Lin Wenli was a bit curious, "Not that bad guy, right?"

"That bad guy?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "Why do you sound like Qinqin?"

Lin Wenli: "..."

Damn, I spoke too hastily and let out what was on my mind.

"Not that bad guy, but a friend of that bad guy." Ye Wanlan shouldered her bag, "Let’s go, they will take good care of uncle and aunt, don’t worry."

"Miss Ye! Young Master Wenli!" Bing He stood in front of the car waving, "All ready, we can leave at any time."

Lin Wenli, holding his bag and ready to sit in the back row with Ye Wanlan, found that the back seat was already occupied by a bad guy.

His hand stiffened for a moment, he pursed his lips, and had no choice but to take the passenger seat.

Yan Tingfeng, with his excellent hearing, although ten meters away, still heard Lin Wenli’s murmur of "bad guy."

He pondered thoughtfully.

It seemed he needed to implement a new plan.

**

This house was indeed identical to the Lin Family Old House from the inside out, and Lin Huaijin quickly relaxed.

Sitting on the sofa, he began reading the newspaper as usual.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked at that moment.

"Who is it?" Lin Huaijin was somewhat puzzled, "We just arrived in Yunjing and don’t know anyone. Could it be the neighbors coming over?"

"It must be the friend Ah Lan mentioned." Khor Peiqing wiped her hands, "I’ll go open the door. This child, thinking too thoroughly every day."

She walked forward, opened the door, and standing outside were four individuals who had specifically come to Jiangcheng to deliver the exam papers to Ye Wanlan that day.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Xu, we meet again." Xiang Shaoyu took the initiative to greet, "It just so happens we are all on vacation recently, so we came to chat with you both and also explore Yunjing."

"That’s very gracious of you." Lin Huaijin beckoned, "Come in, have a seat."

"Hello, Uncle Lin!" Rong Yu greeted with a smile, "Uncle Lin, this is my elder brother."

"Ah, hello!" Lin Huaijin was also very cheerful, "Hello to all of you."

Huo Yixing, not one for many words, struggled for a while but finally managed to say, "Uncle Lin, Aunt Xu."

Khor Peiqing also nodded with a smile.

"Peiqing, I’ve finally noticed something off," Lin Huaijin suddenly pulled Khor Peiqing to one side, lowering his voice.

Khor Peiqing glared at him, "What is it?"

She was curious about what Lin Huaijin had noticed too.

"Xiao Yan has always called me uncle, and I never found it strange before, but I realized something today!" Lin Huaijin frowned, "He should be calling me Uncle Lin."

Khor Peiqing sighed, "Go play by yourself."

It took him so long to realize; she truly didn’t know how Lin Huaijin managed to chase her down back in the day.

"Uncle Lin, if you like these things, what’s the point in just looking at pictures?" Xiang Shaoyu glanced at the newspaper that Lin Huaijin was reading, folding up his fan, "I’ll take you to see the real thing now."

Lin Huaijin, looking perplexed: "Ah?"

This was the Xiang Family’s business, was it really something he could just go and see?

"No, no, I was just speaking offhandedly." Lin Huaijin hurriedly waved his hand, "Don’t take it to heart."

"Uncle Lin, don’t be so polite with him," Rong Yu spoke heartily, "He’s the Capital Circle’s Crown Prince, there’s nowhere in Yunjing he can’t go."
