Chapter 576 - 574: Cruise Ship
"Little sister, so you were here all along!"
Just as Yan Ya and her daughter were speaking, a middle-aged man, about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, handsome and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked over.
"Hmm!"
Upon seeing him arrive, Yan Ya nodded with a slightly indifferent expression.
Meanwhile, Qingyue flashed a sweet smile and obediently greeted him, "Sixth Uncle!"
This man was none other than Old Mr. Yan’s sixth son, Yan Jun, the legendary bookworm of the Yan Family.
Back in the day, Old Mr. Yan assigned a fairly successful company to this son who had returned to the country after completing his doctorate abroad.
As a result of his meddling, the company’s performance plummeted within half a month, eventually leading to its closure.
Ever since then, the rest of the Yan Family mocked him as a "bookworm," supposedly only good at reading and nothing else.
Yan Jun was well aware of this reputation, so he chose to take up teaching at Diannan University and never involved himself in the family’s business matters.
"Such a good kid!"
Yan Jun replied with a smiling demeanor, seemingly fond of Qingyue.
"Where’s Fifth Yan?"
Yan Ya casually asked.
"Fifth Sister just met a piano star and is chatting with them,"
Yan Jun replied with a bit of helplessness.
Whenever Fifth Sister was mentioned, he was always at a loss.
"Haha!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ya let out a slightly sarcastic laugh.
Recently, the Yan Family had been anything but peaceful, with all sorts of chaotic issues arising.
None of Yan Ya’s six siblings were easy to deal with!
Take the eldest Yan for example...
During the grave relocation incident, Boss Yan conspired with outsiders to steal the old master’s golden silk nanmu coffin.
Upon learning what had transpired, Old Mr. Yan flew into a rage and directly revoked Boss Yan’s inheritance rights.
He even transferred Boss Yan’s group shares to Yan Ya’s name.
If it weren’t for the other family members intervening, the patriarch might have expelled Boss Yan from the family records.
Since then, Boss Yan has been diligently working within the group.
After work, he must return home on time and check in with the patriarch.
And as for the second Yan, he’s currently embroiled in a divorce with his C-list celebrity wife.
The reason?
The second Yan had gotten involved with another young celebrity and was caught by the paparazzi.
As the divorce dispute intensified, it was eventually the patriarch who stepped in to appease the second daughter-in-law.
Nevertheless, the second Yan didn’t fare well, with his dividends being stopped by the patriarch.
Currently, he’s working diligently alongside his eldest brother in the group.
It’s unclear how long this diligence will last.
In contrast to his two unreliable older brothers, the third Yan has been far more low-key.
With remarkable achievements, her position in the group has been steadily rising.
However, she’s also troubled by a divorce issue.
It’s not her who wants a divorce, but her husband.
As a regular employee of the Yan Group, her husband has been under immense pressure from their marriage over the years.
Currently, he’s unable to cope, hence his desire to divorce Third Yan.
In comparison, the fourth Yan is genuinely quiet.
This brother has entirely opted out of Yan Family’s internal struggles.
His daily joy comes from spending his dividends and tampering with antiques, living rather free and easy.
The fifth Yan, whom Yan Ya just inquired about...
A week ago, she divorced her wealthy husband.
The reason is that her wealthy husband’s sexual orientation seemed to have shifted, and he was caught in an indescribable video.
Unable to bear the peculiar looks from others, Fifth Yan directly filed for divorce.
This suited her wealthy husband just fine, and the two parted amicably.
As for the sixth Yan, Yan Jun...
He has been teaching at the university, rarely involving himself in family matters, and thus lacks much presence.
"I’m here for business. I don’t understand why the patriarch sent her along with me."
Yan Ya spoke expressionlessly.
"Fifth Sister just divorced; Father probably wants her to come and unwind with you."
Yan Jun replied with a smile.
"Does she really need to unwind?"
"Didn’t you see how cheerful she was when she got divorced?"
Yan Ya said, unable to resist massaging her forehead, looking rather helpless.
Yan Jun shook his head and laughed.
When Fifth Yan was divorcing, she looked thrilled and excited.
If unfamiliar, one might think she had just gotten married!
"Sixth and Seventh, why did both of you come here?"
Truly speaking of "speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!"
A woman whose appearance had a sixty to seventy percent resemblance to Yan Ya, only slightly shorter but with a fuller figure, smiled as she headed toward the deck.
Who else could it be but Yan Ya’s fifth sister, Yan Tong?
Alongside her was a tall, slim, and handsome middle-aged man.
The two approached Yan Ya and Yan Jun.
"Old Zhang, let me introduce you..."
Yan Tong gestured toward Yan Jun and said with a smile, "This is my sixth brother, Yan Jun, whom you’ve just met."
Then she pointed to Yan Ya and Qingyue and continued introducing, "She’s my younger sister, Yan Ya, and her adorable daughter, Xiaoyue."
When the middle-aged man looked at Yan Ya, his eyes flashed with amazement.
Compared to the enthusiastic and straightforward Yan Tong, the quietly elegant Yan Ya before him looked like a fairy descending from the heavens!
He eagerly introduced himself, "Miss Yan, hello!"
"My name is Zhang Songkang, and I’m a pianist!"
"Hello!"
Yan Ya glanced at him and slightly nodded as an acknowledgment.
Nearby, Yan Tong pulled Qingyue toward her, vigorously pinched Qingyue’s delicate little face, and then laughed, "Old Seventh, I’m telling you, Old Zhang is an extraordinary pianist!"
"He’s held solo concerts in Eagle Country, Ox Country, Cat Country, and many other countries and is now working at the music academy in the Capital City..."
Yan Tong listed Zhang Songkang’s achievements like precious gems.
However, Zhang Songkang’s attention remained fixed on Yan Ya.
As the atmosphere among them grew increasingly subtle, suddenly someone shouted, "Look over there, what is it?"
Upon hearing the shout, Yan Ya and the others followed the direction of the voice.
Not far away, a white man was pointing to the right front of the cruise ship.
Yan Ya and the others, like everyone else, followed the direction of his finger with their gaze.
Seen not far from the cruise ship on an island stood a blood-red building along the shore.
The architecture had an antique aesthetic, unmistakably in the typical style of Dragon Country.
"How strange, why is there a... Divine Temple here?"
Zhang Songkang frowned, puzzled, and murmured to himself.
