Chapter 131: Yang Wenguang’s Shock
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at Yan Aohan. "Brother Yan, tell me, if you suddenly found out your family wasn't simple, what would you do?"
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi. The Yan family was never simple. As the head of the three great hidden families, if they were simple, they would have been devoured long ago. "Control the power within the family. Become the only one with a voice. That way, no matter what happens, it doesn't matter. I control the family, so the family can only serve me."
Zhu Yanyi had no experience with family concepts. She half-understood what Yan Aohan said. "I found out our Zhu family isn't simple. Seeing the Zhu family members calculating others makes me feel unhappy."
Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi's head. "Actually, your Zhu family was never simple." To become a family, none are simple. Even the simplest family is not simple.
"Huh?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan, confused.
A faint soft light flashed in Yan Aohan's eyes. "Although it is said your Zhu family is a branch from Zhu City in the Shao area, think about it. If they had no ability, would most people in Gangan Village be from the Zhu family? Since they developed, they naturally have their own foundation. You just don't know because you aren't the rulers of the Zhu family."
Zhu Yanyi was stunned. She understood now. In her past life, she had heard her father say their ancestors came from Zhu City. She hadn't paid attention. Zhu City wasn't particularly developed. Many third- and fourth-tier cities rose later. Only Zhu City, though seemingly developing, remained silent. Yet, it couldn't be ignored. It seemed there were indeed unspeakable connections.
Zhu Yanyi's curiosity rose. Maybe she should visit Zhu City when she had time. Of course, it wasn't urgent now. There would always be a chance in the future. What she needed to do now was control the voice in the Zhu family. Just as Yan Aohan said, with a voice, she could truly get what she wanted. Even if the Zhu family was now a small family, it was better to hold the voice herself to cause trouble for others, rather than let others hold it to cause trouble for her.
Having figured it out, Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Thank you, Brother Yan. I know what to do."
Yan Aohan didn't ask how Zhu Yanyi would do it. He only said, "Having a decision is good, but you must act within your limits."
"Of course." Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "I am still young, only six years old. I can have my own ideas for now. If I really want to do something, I must wait until I grow up. I can't do it now." Zhu Yanyi didn't hide her thoughts from Yan Aohan. In fact, she knew she couldn't hide them. Although her age in past and present lives combined could make her Yan Aohan's grandmother, she found that in terms of scheming, she was no match for him.
Yan Aohan nodded satisfactorily. "Having an idea is like having a new game goal. Play slowly. Sometimes, cat and mouse is the most fun."
Zhu Yanyi's eyes lit up. Yan Aohan was guiding her on how to control what she wanted without getting addicted. Yes, it was like playing a game. Play if you want, drop it if you don't. If you get trapped, you aren't playing the game; the game is playing you. "Thank you, Brother Yan." Zhu Yanyi thanked him again.
