The Villain's Wife Chapter 585 Elite

The Villain's Wife 585 EliteYu Helong would always choose peace. He would always prefer to be quiet and just let his hard work speak for itself. Of course, his father found this a problem. Someone who prefers peace over scheming is not an ideal businessman.

Yu Helong would avoid confrontations and would always calmly approached situations. But, he could not deny that he also had his own weaknesses. And that was his cowardice.
When Yu Helong knew that his sister had been poisoning their mother, he did nothing. It was because he didn't want his father to punish everyone. He knew how much old man Yu loves his wife. He also knew that her death could have devastating effects on the old man.
However, he couldn't watch the old man kill his sister. He couldn't just watch him tear this already damaged family apart. Yu Helong let out a deep sigh as he stared at his sister's distressed appearance. "Yanwan… when was the last time that you had a good sleep?" This was a rhetorical question.
Judging from his younger sister's appearance, it was clear that she didn't have enough rest. "Stop thinking about money and focus on yourself. The old man gave us enough to survive. Let's not be greedy and ask for something more."
"What do you mean? Helong… this is our right. We earn this right when they chose their business over us."
"It is your right to think that way and I will not waste my time arguing with you. I already said my part. You can think whatever you think. I will leave the company and that is final."
"You are a coward!"
Yu Helong didn't bother to correct his words. This was true. He was a coward. He is not afraid to go to war. He is more afraid to watch the effects of chaos. He is more afraid to build the bridges that were ruined because of small misunderstandings.
Yu Helong only pursed his lips as he watched his sister leave his office in anger. Maybe he was selfish and simple. But to Yu Helong, his priority is already his family. Jiang Ruo, Yu Jing, and his other children. They are the ones that matter most to him.
He would not do something stupid and endanger them. Not after what he discovered about Lily and her grandmother.
Another sigh left his mouth as he thought about the deal that Jiang Ruo made with Lily. That flash drive that was his, and it was he who discovered that Lily's grandmother might be close to their father.
When he did his research about Lily, Yu Helong stumbled upon photos of Lilian Facci. Of course, this was not surprising to him. What is surprising is the place where the photo was taken. It was in what seemed like a castle or a mansion.
The thing is, Yu Helong remembered seeing his parents having the same photo as Lilian. He even remembered one of the statues behind this photo He dug all of their family photos and found one with his parents on it.
It was taken in the eighties or so the date behind the photo said. After doing more research, he discovered that it was taken in an exclusive event in the nineteen-eighties. This event was said to be for the elite and people of influence.
Now… the presence of Lilian in those events in Europe is already expected. However, his parent's presence? Not so much. His parents are Asians, and they did not come from influential families in the East.
His parents started their company from a loan. They didn't have the proper education nor the training to do it. They were smart and hardworking, and that is the reason why they succeed, or so he thought.
After seeing the photo, Yu Helong also understood that his parents are very secretive people. They were not really the type that would show off their wealth and the only time that the old man would show his influence is during his birthday. It was the time where people that they haven't met before would show up to their door, smiling, bearing gifts.
Now that he really thought about it. He doesn't really know anything about their parents. He knew that the old man is strict and would value achievements. He knew that has many friends in Mainland China and Western countries.
Aside from that…. He knew nothing.
But then again, this should not be any of this concern. He already submitted his resignation and the old man already accepted it. Moreover, he already gave everything that he gathered to Lily, hoping that it will shed some light on the old man's weird behavior around her.
In the end, he could only hope that Lily will think to treat it as a piece of important information. He could only hope that Lily will soon contact him or his wife to inform them that she will agree to keep Yu Jing out of this.
The thought of Yu Jing instantly made him a little down. His son refused to go with them abroad because of Yu Entertainment. Of course, he understands this reasoning. After all, he just got out of a scandal and he is working hard to maintain his image.
However, when he told Yu Jing not to involve himself in the fight for an inheritance, the young man refused to answer him. Yu Jing only said that this will depend on the situation. He also didn't promise his father that he won't try to get some shares from their grandfather's company.
The conversation almost turned into an argument because Yu Jing insisted that they have the right to fight for the shares. This was because Yu Helong was the eldest son and he had been the CEO of the company for years. Even a toddler would agree that this is a very reasonable explanation.
Yu Jing failed to understand one thing.
If Yu Helong's suspicion about Lily and her grandmother being close to the old man is right. Then this could mean that the old man has a deeper reason in involving Lily in their family matters. And Lily… well... she is already a strong opponent.
But what about her husband? Would Zhou Jingren really stand and watch if Lily chose to acquire their company?
Yu Helong might be coward. But his survival instincts are on point.
