"Yan Xi, his life is in your hands."
Yan Xi had always known that Yan Jiapeng was insane, but she hadn't expected him to so brazenly use Yan Yi to achieve his goals.
Yan Yi was Yan Xi's bottom line.
No matter how Yan Jiapeng treated Yan Xi, she could ignore it.
But they shouldn't have touched Yan Yi.
Seeing the photo, a wave of hatred surged within Yan Xi.
Yan Xi felt no hatred when Yan Jiapeng used Yan Yi to force her to marry Fu Yanting.
Yan Xi felt no hatred when Yan Jiapeng schemed against her and hurt her to achieve his goals.
But they repeatedly troubled Yan Yi, using him to threaten Yan Xi, which made Yan Xi furious.
Yan Xi called Yan Jiapeng.
Yan Jiapeng seemed to have expected her call, answering almost instantly.
Yan Xi suppressed her anger and demanded, "What exactly do you want?"
"Xixi, I've already said that you need to get Fu Yanting to go easy on the Yan family. If this continues, the Yan family will go bankrupt."
Yan Xi wanted to laugh. Her and Yan Yi's lives combined weren't as important as a single Yan Corporation.
Yan Xi really wanted to question Yan Jiapeng: were she and Yan Yi truly his biological children?
Why was he so heartless towards her and Yan Yi?
"What if I don't agree?"
Yan Xi asked calmly.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite. Yan Yi is frail and often ill, but he is Fu Yanting's brother-in-law. If I sell this news to the media, letting people know of Yan Yi's existence and identity..."
Not only would Yan Yi be harassed and unable to rest properly, but his life would also be in danger.
Who knew how many enemies Fu Yanting had?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended to be in a coma and lain in bed for so long.
Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair.
Why did she have such a cruel and heartless father?
"Xixi, you're a smart child. You know what to do without me telling you."
After speaking, Yan Jiapeng hung up the phone.
On the other side.
Li Qin arrived at the Yan residence. Kong Yalan had some connections in high society and naturally knew Li Qin's identity, treating her with great enthusiasm.
Li Qin got straight to the point.
She said, "Mrs. Yan, I know you and your husband haven't been very good to Yan Xi, and she won't listen to you."
Kong Yalan didn't expect Li Qin to be so blunt. She didn't dare to say much, unsure of Li Qin's purpose for visiting.
She could only let out a dry chuckle.
"To be honest, I don't like Yan Xi either. That girl looks innocent and harmless, but in reality, she's difficult to control."
"Mrs. Fu, then what is your purpose for coming here today?"
"I heard you have a younger daughter who is well-behaved. My goal is simple: I want Fu Yanting's fortune. If you can make Yan Xi divorce Fu Yanting and let your younger daughter marry him, once Fu Yanting dies, all his fortune will be ours, and we'll split it fifty-fifty."
These past few days, Kong Yalan had been racking her brain, trying to figure out how to break up Yan Xi and Fu Yanting and have Yan Xiao marry Fu Yanting.
Now, Li Qin had come to her. Although Li Qin's demand for fifty percent of the fortune was a bit audacious,
Fu Yanting was a difficult person to deal with. Relying on them alone, let alone scheming against Fu Yanting, they wouldn't even have a chance to get close to him.
At this moment, it seemed like a pretty good opportunity.
Although Kong Yalan was unwilling, she had to agree to Li Qin.
After careful consideration, Kong Yalan and Li Qin hit it off, agreeing to cooperate.
Li Qin nodded with satisfaction seeing Kong Yalan's cooperativeness.
These Yan family members were all so reasonable, why was that Yan Xi so unruly and stubborn?
"Mrs. Yan, in a few more days, it's the Fu family's matriarch's birthday banquet. There will be a great opportunity then, you must seize it."
Kong Yalan was also a shrewd person. Upon hearing Li Qin say this, she immediately understood Li Qin's intention.
Li Qin got up to leave.
What she wanted was always Fu Yanting's life.
Now, Kong Yalan was being used by her. If it succeeded, she would get fifty percent of Fu Yanting's fortune. If it failed, Kong Yalan would be the one who orchestrated it, and she would have nothing to do with it.
Li Qin could extricate herself from the situation.
Yan Xi paced back and forth in the room. Seeing her brother lying weakly on the sickbed, with Yan Jiapeng monitoring him,
Yan Xi was furious.
Right now, nothing was more important than her brother's life.
She remembered the last time Yan Xiao went to Yan Yi's ward to provoke him, almost costing Yan Yi his life.
Yan Xi dared not take any more risks.
She couldn't care about anything else and went to Fu Yanting's study.
At this moment, Fu Yanting was sitting at his desk, smoking. Seeing Yan Xi, he quickly put out his cigarette.
Then, looking at Yan Xi, he teased with a playful smile, "Didn't I tell you to come to my room to find me? Can't wait already?"
Yan Xi wasn't in the mood for flirting with Fu Yanting.
She walked up to Fu Yanting and asked, as if commanding, "Are you suppressing the Yan Corporation?"
Fu Yanting raised an eyebrow, not responding.
He knew very well that given what Yan Jiapeng had done to Yan Xi, Yan Xi was already deeply disappointed in him. If she hadn't been threatened by Yan Jiapeng, she definitely wouldn't have interceded for the Yan family.
Fu Yanting's eyes looked sharply at Yan Xi. He remained silent, waiting for Yan Xi to speak first.
Yan Xi said, "Please spare the Yan Corporation, don't take action against it. I'll agree to anything you want."
Fu Yanting frowned. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Can you tell me the reason?"
If she told him the reason, would he spare the Yan family?
Fu Yanting was a cold-blooded animal devoid of emotion. Even if she told him, he wouldn't spare the Yan family for the sake of Yan Yi.
Yan Jiapeng, however, could use Yan Yi to constantly and without limit threaten her.
Yan Xi still had to bear everything alone.
"After all, it's my maternal family. Even if you don't show consideration for the monk, you should show it for the temple."
Fu Yanting knew Yan Xi wasn't telling him the truth.
Weren't they, husband and wife, supposed to be honest with each other?
Fu Yanting hated being deceived more than anything in his life.
Yet now, Yan Xi was lying to him right in front of his face.
Fu Yanting's displeasure was evident.
"What makes you think I'll give you this face?"
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly.
She hadn't expected that even when she took the initiative to ask, Fu Yanting would refuse her so heartlessly.
Thinking back to the IVF procedure at the hospital last time, by estimation, her period seemed to be several days late.
Yan Xi gathered her courage and said, trying to test him, "What if I said I'm pregnant with your child?"
