Chapter 249: The Anger of the Yang Family

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Anger of the Yang Family

Yang Yunlin knew that his father, who occupied a high position and stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, hardly ever became agitated or lost composure.

But when it came to the events of that year, his elderly father lost his composure, and it was very clear to him that his father harbored persistent grievances concerning those events.

In fact, this was quite understandable.

From any perspective, Yang Yuanshan had reasons for anger.

His own son died in the prime of life, his soon-to-be daughter-in-law was whisked away by someone else, and then gave birth to another man’s child, leaving the Yang Family’s face utterly lost, as if being slapped resoundingly.

Both emotionally and rationally, Yang Yuanshan ought to feel angry and think of revenge.

As the older brother, Yang Yunlin was no different; his younger brother died because of a woman, and he definitely took this matter to heart, not to mention the Yang Family’s loss of face.

Yang Yunlin’s inability to tolerate his daughter being with Luo Ziling also stemmed from another reason, an emotional one.

In those days, the Yang Brothers were legends in Yanjing’s circle of dissolute heirs, admired by virtually everyone on account of their exceptional qualities.

Yang Yunlin, Yang Yunfeng, and Ling Zhengping, Ling Ruonan’s own brother, as well as the Chen Family’s Chen Yining and Chen Yijing, and the Fang Family’s Fang Yinfa and Fang Yinhai, were the most famous young men of that time in Yanjing’s dissolute circle. They often hung out together, but Yang Yunlin and his brother had the closest relationship with Ling Zhengping and Ling Ruonan. They occasionally had conflicts with the Chen brothers and the Fang brothers.

In every respect, Yang Yunlin, Yang Yunfeng, and Ling Zhengping stood head and shoulders above the other rakes; they were all very handsome and therefore favored by many girls.

Ling Ruonan was the prettiest and most popular among the young women from the prominent families in Yanjing. Both the Yang brothers and the Fang brothers, as well as the Chen brothers, sought to court her. But Ling Ruonan had the closest relationship with the Yang brothers, and later the two families even arranged a marriage between Yang Yunfeng, who was close in age to Ling Ruonan. Yet even with the marriage arranged, these rakes still adored Ling Ruonan.

Yang Yunlin himself was quite taken with Ling Ruonan back in the day.

Ling Ruonan was deceived and taken away by an outsider, Luo Xusheng, which also left him with lingering feelings of resentment.

This was a significant reason for his vehement opposition to his daughter being together with Luo Ziling.

The other rakes felt similarly.

Thus, when the scandal involving Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan broke, it could be said that they had offended all the dissolute sons of Yanjing.

After the news of Ling Ruonan’s pregnancy and her defiance against marriage came out, Yang Yunlin and his younger brother Yang Yunfeng certainly couldn’t tolerate it. They led a group to seek out Luo Xusheng for revenge, but in the end, they didn’t manage to do much to Luo Xusheng and were miserably bullied by the highly skilled Luo Xusheng.

Of course, the incident eventually shocked the elders. After alarming the elders, Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan prepared to elope. Upon hearing the news, Yang Yunlin and his brother Yang Yunfeng chased after them in a car, ultimately leading to Yang Yunfeng’s death in a car accident.

The matter escalated even further, and Yang Shangming, who was then in charge of the Yang Family, and who was Yang Yunlin’s now deceased grandfather, personally intervened in the affair, insisting that Luo Xusheng pay with his life. Yang Yuanshan, as a father, also clamored for Luo Xusheng’s death and severe punishment for Ling Ruonan, demanding that Ling Ruonan come to the Yang Family to mourn for Yang Yunfeng as a widow.

After a fierce covert battle between several major families, Ling Jinhua, the Family Head of the Ling Family, and Ling Ruonan’s father, Ling Mingrui, managed to save Luo Xusheng’s life, though at a certain cost. Ling Ruonan also did not become the daughter-in-law of the Yang Family and eventually gave birth to a son.

Although the dispute ended with Luo Xusheng being banished from Yanjing and being “exiled” to the Tibetan regions in the west, never to return, and Ling Ruonan’s son was taken to the Northwest by his grandfather and also never allowed back to the inner lands, the Yang Family members have always felt this was a disgrace and never intended to let it go.

However, as time passed over the years and due to the compensations made by the Ling Family, the hatred slowly faded, but the Yang Family still could not tolerate Luo Xusheng and his son returning to Yanjing.

Now, Ling Ruonan’s illegitimate child had not only returned to Yanjing, but had also started a romance with a woman from the Yang Family. Yang Yunlin was furious when he learned of this. If it hadn’t been for his special affection for his only daughter, he would have wanted to capture Yang Qingyin and beat her to vent his anger.

Of course, the most enraged was Yang Yunlin’s father, namely the current Family Head, Yang Yuanshan.

Before Yang Qingyin returned, Yang Yuanshan had already been venting his anger with Yang Yunlin for half a day, insisting that Luo Ziling must be driven out of Yanjing at any cost, and Ling Ruonan must be punished, and the Ling Family must make reparations. Of course, he would never allow Yang Qingyin to be with Luo Ziling.

Yang Yuanshan, who had never lost his composure in any situation over the years, lost his composure in front of his son and granddaughter.

As he followed Yang Yuanshan out of the living room and into the courtyard, Yang Yunlin asked in a low voice, “Dad, how should we deal with that young man?”

“Since that bitch Ling Ruonan has secretly brought her illegitimate child back, she’ll have to bear the consequences herself,” Yang Yuanshan said with a cold smile.

“Should we spread the word?” Yang Yunlin asked quietly, “If it gets out, many will want the kid dead.”

“No,” Yang Yuanshan shook his head, “If the news leaks, then Ling Ruonan might just throw caution to the wind and bring her son to her side. In that case, dealing with the kid would become more difficult. I’m sure you already know, the boy is skilled in martial arts and medical arts as well, and could be as difficult to deal with as his father. With Ling Ruonan’s protection, it would be even harder to get him killed.”

“Dad, I understand,” Yang Yunlin nodded in sudden realization.

They wouldn’t leak this affair, so Ling Ruonan wouldn’t bring her son to her side for protection, which would complicate things.

“We should not get involved personally in this matter, let others handle it,” advised Yang Yuanshan, with a hint of a cold smile, “I think the people who least want this bastard to return are from the Ling Family themselves. Didn’t he have a conflict with Ling Haijun, that idiot? Then let’s find a way to make them destroy each other. If you were to act personally, it would be giving him too much credit, not to mention me.”

“Dad, I got it. I’ll have Uncle Yang Shubao take care of these matters,” Yang Yunlin responded immediately.

Yang Shubao was Yang Yunlin’s cousin, but the kinship was already from the third collateral line. This branch of the Yang Family had always been longing for more favor from Yang Yuanshan, so it was most appropriate for them to do these shady tasks.

After Yang Yuanshan left, Yang Yunlin immediately made a call to Yang Shubao, telling him to come to his office the next day because he had important orders to give.

But after hanging up the phone, Yang Yunlin couldn’t help but sigh. He was worried his beloved daughter would interfere.

“If Qingyin continues to meddle, it will complicate things.”
