Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Utter Disappointment_1

Yan Zixuan’s face broke into a satisfied smile as she watched Yan Ling under the barrage of criticisms from the guests.

This was the consequence of daring to compete with her!

Even though she was triumphant in her mind, Yan Zixuan outwardly stepped in to defend in a pretense of goodwill: "My sister couldn’t possibly have come without a gift, it must be on the way ..."

In saying that, Yan Zixuan was ostensibly helping Yan Ling, affirming she had prepared a gift.

In reality, it was a deliberate maneuver to put Yan Ling between a rock and a hard place, thus obliging her to present a gift.

Yan Ling furrowed her brows, about to outright admit she hadn’t prepared a birthday gift for Yan Qianhong. But before she could speak, she heard Yan Qianhong intervene: "I’ve already received the gift Yan Ling prepared!"

At these words, both Yan Ling and Yan Zixuan were stunned.

Yan Ling was perplexed since she didn’t know why Yan Qianhong would make such a statement?

Yan Zixuan, on the other hand, was surprised. Why would her father come to Yan Ling’s defense?

Yan Qianhong looked at the dumbfounded Yan Ling, his eyes gleaming with calculation.

Without waiting for her rebuttal, he took the lead: "Yan Ling, I know, you’ve always wanted to prove to me that you are no less than Zixuan! When Zixuan began dating Liang Sheng, you wanted to snatch him away. When Zixuan started a medical company, you joined Hongya Hospital as a chief doctor ..."

"Before, I always thought you were being childish and envious, but when you became the leading instructor of the new national cancer treatment program after I received the order for anti-cancer drugs, I realized that everything you did was just to get my attention!"

Yan Ling raised an eyebrow, "How did you find out about this?"

Yan Qianhong ignored the main issue: "Regardless of how I found out, I’ve seen your efforts. You are willing to support the Yan Corporation by utilizing your own medical skills. This is the best birthday gift I have received!"

Yan Ling: ...

Finally, Yan Ling understood why Yan Qianhong had insisted on calling her back.

He’d gone to great lengths to have her attend his birthday banquet.

Just to exploit her status as the instructor of the new cancer treatment program, to boost the reputation of the Yan Corporation.

She had seen shameless, but never this shameless!

He wanted her to endorse the Yan Corporation? Dream on!

"Mr. Yan, I think you might have misunderstood! I came here today merely to collect my mother’s legacy! As for everything else, I severed ties with the Yan Family five years ago. Whatever my position, it has nothing to do with the Yan Family!"

Having said this, Yan Ling ignored Yan Qianhong, who was nearly suffocating with anger, as she headed upstairs.

Soon, she reached the room in the farthest corner of the second floor, a room where her mother had once lived.

This room where her mother had stayed after falling ill was damp and gloomy.

Yan Ling switched on the light beside the wall, expecting to see her mother’s photos and belongings. Instead, she found an empty room.

Her eyes sank.

Clearly, Yan Qianhong had anticipated her coming for her mother’s belongings and had hidden them before her arrival.

As a chill ran down Yan Ling’s spine, she heard Yan Qianhong’s cold voice from behind: "Yan Ling, no matter how tough you become, you can’t escape my grasp! I advise you to behave and disclose the drugs prescribed in your cancer treatment program to me. Otherwise, you’ll never get your hands on your mother’s belongings in this lifetime!"

Upon hearing Yan Qianhong’s intimidation, Yan Ling was devastated.

She looked up at the man looming above her, then opened her mouth to reply one word at a time: "Fine! I’ll tell you!"
