CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 511: THE OPPORTUNITY ARRIVES!

Yan Ruyi adjusted her mood and pushed open the courtyard door to enter.

Old Lady Yan was joyfully opening the New Year’s gifts sent by Yan Qianyi.

Suddenly, she heard Yan Ruyi’s voice, "Grandma, Happy New Year."

Old Lady Yan was startled, looked up toward the entrance, and her smile immediately stiffened.

Yan Ruyi seemed much better than when she had just been released from prison, and she gave Old Lady Yan a slight smile.

"I came to give you and Dad New Year’s greetings. These gifts are just a small token of my appreciation."

With that, Yan Ruyi carried the gifts forward.

Old Lady Yan didn’t say a word, her gaze darting around as if she was looking for something.

Yan Ruyi placed the gifts on the coffee table and asked, "Grandma, what are you looking for?"

Old Lady Yan ignored her, but then her eyes suddenly fixed on a golf club that Yan Hong had carelessly left in the corner.

She picked up the club and started hitting Yan Ruyi with it, "Get out! You’re not my granddaughter!"

The club struck Yan Ruyi’s arm hard.

"Ah!" Yan Ruyi cried out in pain and dodged, clutching her arm.

Old Lady Yan kept chasing and hitting her, "Get out right now!"

"Grandma! Stop hitting me!" Yan Ruyi pleaded. "I am still a member of the Yan Family; you can’t treat me like this!"

"We of the Yan Family don’t have a heartless woman like you!" Old Lady Yan cursed as she hit. "If it weren’t for Qianyi, you would have poisoned me long ago! Get out!"

Old Lady Yan showed no mercy.

Yan Ruyi, about to burst with anger, gritted her teeth, "I hope you show some restraint!"

Now, she truly regretted not having directly killed Old Lady Yan!

If it weren’t for Old Lady Yan’s interference, she would have already moved back into the Yan Family’s home.

As she dodged, Yan Ruyi looked around.

Seeing there was no servant in the living room, she was about to grab the club when Yan Hong’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Mom! Stop it!"

Yan Ruyi’s expression changed, and she immediately started crying pitifully.

"Grandma, please don’t hit me anymore. All the things I did before were instructed by Mom; I didn’t understand anything. To atone for her, I will definitely take good care of you and Dad from now on. Please give me a chance, will you?"

"Stop nonsense! Get out immediately!"

Old Lady Yan was unmoved, seeing through Yan Ruyi’s pretense of enlightenment.

Just earlier, Yan Ruyi was about to resist, but only when she heard Yan Hong’s voice did she start crying.

Yan Hong strode up, spreading his arms in front of Yan Ruyi, "If you keep hitting, someone might die!"

Old Lady Yan glared at Yan Hong, "Let her get out of my house right now, or I’ll beat her to death!"

Yan Ruyi cowered behind Yan Hong, clutching his arm, the picture of misery.

"Dad, I only came with gifts to greet you and Grandma for the New Year; I didn’t plan to stick around."

Old Lady Yan yelled, "A weasel giving a New Year’s greeting—surely no good intentions! Take your gifts and get out!"

"Mom, don’t be like this. Put the club down first. Ruyi is still my biological daughter, and the blood of the Yan Family flows in her veins!"

"You won’t move out of the way?" Old Lady Yan asked, "Fine, then I will hit both of you together!"

Having said that, Old Lady Yan swung the baseball bat towards the two people.

"Ruyi, get out of here quickly!"

Yan Hong didn’t dare to fight back, pulling Yan Ruyi as they fled outside.

Once outside the villa, Yan Ruyi embraced Yan Hong and burst into tears.

"Dad, what should I do? Grandma refuses to forgive me. Everything before was really mom’s doing, and now I just want to stay by your side and grandma’s side, to honor you both and atone for my mom’s sins, but grandma is not willing to give me this chance... What should I do..."

Yan Hong sighed and patted Yan Ruyi’s shoulder for comfort, "It’s alright, she will calm down eventually. You still have your father."

Hearing this, Yan Ruyi managed a smile.

In prison, her mom had taught her how to soften Yan Hong’s heart, how to make him feel pity for her.

Now that Yan Qianyi did not recognize Yan Hong, it gave her a chance to get closer to Yan Hong.

Men, they can’t stand to see a woman’s tears, much less their own daughter.

The so-called woman who plays the adorable child lives the best life; that was precisely the point.

Yan Ruyi, sobbing, lifted her head, "Thank you, dad, for believing and forgiving me. In the future, Yangyang and I will certainly honor you well. Although Yan Qianyi doesn’t care about you, you still have me. Everything will get better!"

Yan Hong nodded, "Yes, it will get better. That rebellious girl won’t be arrogant for long!"

Yan Ruyi wiped away her tears, "I just saw her at the entrance. She’s pregnant, isn’t she?"

"Yes, she’s due in a few months."

"Dad, our chance has arrived!"

Yan Hong, confused, "What chance?"

"Isn’t she visiting the group less now?"

"Yes."

"People say a woman loses her smarts for three years when she’s pregnant. We can take this opportunity, while she’s distracted by her pregnancy and childbirth, to take back control of the group."

Yan Hong suddenly realized, "Ruyi, you’re really clever! I hadn’t thought of that."

Yan Ruyi smiled, "I will help relieve father’s worries."

"But... what should we do? Right now everyone in the group listens to her, and I can’t get a word in."

"I’ll think of a way. Ever since Qu Yang facilitated the cooperation between Qu’s and Ning’s, he has gained significant influence at home. I’ll discuss this matter with him."

"What help can he offer?"

"Dad, Qu’s pharmaceutical processing factory has been cooperating with Yan’s for decades, and Yan Qianyi, after taking over, hasn’t canceled the cooperation. Do you understand?"

Yan Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I still don’t see how it connects to regaining control of the Yan Group. Even Qu Yang’s dad is now ingratiating himself with Yan Qianyi, disregarding his old friend."

"That’s why I mentioned Yangyang. Think about it. Under Yan Qianyi’s management, if something goes wrong with the medicine, leading to people’s deaths, having made such a huge mistake, can she still sit securely in that position?

Even if the group’s executives still support her at that time, can the public opinion, media, and the victims let her off?

At that time, won’t your opportunity as the second-largest shareholder arise?"

Yan Hong’s eyes lit up, "Ruyi, you’re truly clever! This way, she indeed won’t be able to continue managing Yan’s, and I would have a chance to return!"

"I’ve said, I will help dad seize back the power. Leave Qu Yang’s side to me to handle; you don’t have to do anything, just enjoy the success."

"But..." Yan Hong hesitated, "Doing this will also cause a lot of damage to Yan’s."

"Dad, no pain, no gain. This is the only way now to bring her down. Once the incident happens and as long as she steps away from Yan’s, even if it is to give the public an explanation. When you take over management, performing some good deeds will also win people’s hearts."
