Chapter 411: 411 Their father and daughter are already so miserable!

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the hospital room was already filled with reporters.

Because Yan’s father was "unwell," the reporters present did not dare to get too close. Each of them stretched out their arms as if fearful of missing any crucial information.

Yan’s father sat on the hospital bed with a bedside table in front of him, on which lay his reading glasses and some important reminders.

The reporters, observing his sluggish demeanor, couldn’t help but feel a surge of sympathy. His adopted son was extremely wealthy, now one of the richest men in Asia, yet his foster father faced bankruptcy, severe illness, hospitalization, and neglect—a complete moral decay.

"Dad, don’t be afraid. Now that everyone is here, let’s get started," Yan Ziqing reminded Yan’s father.

Yan’s father looked very nervous, his hands somewhat trembling.

He slowly put on his reading glasses and then said to the reporters: "Thank you, all the journalists, for visiting and making this old man look less miserable. My name is Yan Changming, and I am fifty-six years old. You all know about my family situation—a son and a daughter—I won’t go into that separately."

"I called you here today mainly because of my adopted son’s situation. Honestly, I don’t blame him, I really don’t. Last night I thought it over the whole night, and I feel that most of the blame lies with me for not raising him well and not making him understand our family’s love for him."

"It wasn’t always like this with Shi Xiu. He used to be very filial, but everything changed after he married the eldest Miss of the Shi family three years ago."

"At that time, the Yan family was facing bankruptcy. I had so many employees to take care of, and I begged him to help manage the Yan family, but he was unwilling because he didn’t want to shoulder the debts with us. I had no choice but to sacrifice my daughter. However, during the reception, he took his sister’s place, and also got involved with the eldest Miss Shi that night. Although the Yan family was saved, he then demanded that I transfer all the Yan family shares to him."

"For so many years, the media has portrayed me as greedy, and I haven’t defended myself, but all I wanted was to retrieve what was mine. What is so wrong about that?"

"Because he has the protection of the Shi family, I have suffered in silence for many years, controlled by him. I don’t understand why he hates me, his foster father, so much. It’s over now, I may indeed not be a good father, but his mother has always been good to him, and yet, he still wants to obliterate our entire family."

"And his sister. I admit, Ziqing did many wrong things, but she was pressured by her elder brother. The girl has no business acumen, but if she didn’t struggle, she would have been driven to death by her older brother."

"You wouldn’t know what our family has endured all these years."

"The media has reported him as a talented young man, saying he is capable and promising, but who knows what ruthless acts he has committed behind the scenes against his own family?"

Yan’s father said, and began to weep.

The old man slowly wiped his tears, looking deeply distressed.

"I am old now and don’t want to fight anymore, I just want to live out my days peacefully. Since Yan Shixiu is not accommodating, then I have no choice but to turn to the media to express my demands; I want five hundred million in alimony. After having tormented our family for so many years, I think this amount is just and fair."

"I know Yan Shixiu holds tremendous power now, but I still hope that everyone can help this old man out and not corner our family into a helpless situation."

That moment, Yan Ziqing also stood by the side, secretly wiping her tears and added: "I know everyone looks down on me, saying I’m vulgar and lack the grace and tact needed for business. But I can’t just watch helplessly as my parents lose everything, so that’s why I had to make a scene, hoping my elder brother would back off, but he doesn’t care about anyone."

"Our family... where did we go wrong?"

"We raised him, provided him with a luxurious life, let him graduate from prestigious schools, and gave him a very bright future. But what has he done? He’s destroyed our entire family."

"We now have nothing, elder brother, for the sake of how the Yan family has raised you all these years, spare me and dad. You can torment me, but please, stop tormenting dad, his health can’t take it..."

The journalists present were profoundly heartbroken, moved to tears by what they heard.

"We always thought that you all were living a lavish life among the elites, and never imagined it was so tragic,"

"Don’t worry, we will definitely support you and seek justice for you and your daughter."

"We will expose Yan Shixiu’s true face and give you and your daughter a satisfying explanation!"

"Sue Yan Shixiu! Sue Yan Shixiu!"

Seeing the reporters so stirred up, the father and daughter exchanged glances and then started to cry even more intensely.

"Yan Shixiu is simply a beast in human clothing. We in the media must unite to expose his hideous true nature."

"Yes! We need to unite. This incident must not be suppressed by Shuangshi!"

Han Hao watched the scene unfold and realized that this father and daughter duo were masters at manipulating emotions.

With their acting, now the whole world knew Yan Shixiu as an ungrateful brute.

However...

Were things really that simple?

Just when the reporters were getting agitated, four young people in professional suits walked into the hospital room, claiming to be Yan Shixiu’s legal team, and had a few matters to confront the Yan family father and daughter about.

"To drive a father and daughter to such a state, and you still have the face to show up?" a reporter angrily pointed at the members of the legal team.

"Exactly, have you no conscience?"

"Get out, the truth is already out there. Tell Yan Shixiu to prepare 500 million, or see us in court!"

The young people holding briefcases were not frightened by the scene before them but said, "Since when did one-sided statements represent the truth?"

"They are already so pitiful!"

"Does being pitiful mean we don’t need to follow evidence?" the young woman leading them retorted forcefully.

"Big brother’s cronies have come again," Yan Ziqing said at that moment, very helplessly, though she merely wanted to make all the reporters present firmly stand by their "weaker" side.

However, the young people, calm and composed, just smiled at the father and daughter, "It seems today, you won’t shed tears until you’re in the coffin."

"Reporters at the scene, there’s no need to get agitated. What is the truth? Let’s sort it out, and then we’ll know, won’t we?"

"I really don’t understand why, even now, people still believe their error-riddled crying testimonies."

"We all heard what Yan father said earlier. Now, let’s follow his logic to sort this out; since you and your daughter are so convinced it’s Yan Zong’s fault, you shouldn’t be afraid of a confrontation, right?"
