As soon as they left the main house, Lan Zheng whispered to Ye Junbo, "Dad asked us to go to his study right away. He's afraid the situation might have changed, so we have to change the plan we agreed on."

Ye Junbo nodded calmly without saying anything.

Lan Zheng looked at him twice and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, being five years older than him is just five years older, but this calmness and composure makes her a little bit better than him.

The two of them strolled to Lan Rui's study.

Lan Rui leaned against the desk, seemingly in deep thought. Only when he saw his son and son-in-law come in did he sit up straight.

"dad."

Ye Junbo shouted.

Lan Zheng asked directly, "What happened? What news did Dad receive?"

Lan Rui didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Has your mother arrived at Mingchen's place?"

"It's already late. They've arrived a long time ago. My brother said that when my mom arrived, she felt sorry for him because he drank too much last night, and she was making him some hangover soup. As her son, I didn't even get to drink the hangover soup my mom made."

Lan Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "When I had social events in the past, no matter how late I came back, your mother would always be waiting for me. If I drank too much, she would also make me some hangover soup. It's been over twenty years, and I haven't had any soup made by her personally, not even a hangover soup."

Not to mention nourishing soups and the like.

He could feel that Shen Yimo had softened her attitude towards him a little, at least she didn't ask for divorce from him so often now, but she was still unwilling to forgive him.

"Dad, Qingqing's soup is delicious too. I'll ask Qingqing to cook for you someday."

Lan Rui smiled and said, "Okay."

I can’t drink the nourishing soup made by my wife, but it’s nice to drink the soup made by my daughter.

"I just received the news that Hei Ruyue had a miscarriage."

Lan Rui got to the point.

Lan Zheng's face was gloomy. "She miscarried, so she miscarried. Dad cares about her so much, are you worried about her having a miscarriage? Do you want me to buy some supplements for Dad and send them to her to replenish her body?"

"No wonder Mom didn't even want to make you a bowl of soup. Your mind is on someone else. Is it because Hei Ruyue and my third uncle had an affair that Dad's heart is bleeding? One is the woman you love, and the other is your own brother. You have been betrayed by family and love. It's not just your heart that is bleeding, it's a heavy hemorrhage. Your aorta has been injured and the bleeding won't stop."

Lan Rui glared at his son with a dark face.

Ye Junbo tried to calm his eldest brother-in-law down, saying, "Brother, listen to what Dad says first. Hei Ruyue had a miscarriage, and Third Uncle has had a vasectomy. It's impossible for Hei Ruyue to get pregnant with Third Uncle's child again. She can't have a child from the Lan family, so it'll be very difficult for her to become the head of the Lan family. Maybe the Hei family's head will change his strategy and stop integrating into the family, and instead go straight for severing ties."

Lan Rui looked at his son-in-law with admiration.

Lan Zheng definitely knows more about the situation of the Lan and Hei families than Ye Junbo. It's good that Ye Junbo thought of this.

As for his son's impulsiveness and scolding him directly, Lan Rui could accept it. Who told him that he used to act so well that everyone thought he and Hei Ruyue were a couple?

"Junbo, don't explain for him. He just feels bad for Hei Ruyue. Otherwise, why would he call us over when she had a miscarriage? The baby in Hei Ruyue's belly isn't yours. Why are you so anxious? Why are you so distressed? The one who should be anxious and distressed is my Third Uncle."

"Lan Zheng, is this how you view your father and me?"

Lan Rui couldn't help but growl with a dark face.

Lan Zheng stopped his sarcastic remarks, but still looked at his father angrily.

"Junbo's analysis just now is exactly what I was thinking. I think the same thing. The Hei family head originally wanted to drag us down bit by bit. Last time we discussed that so-called project, we also agreed on when to discuss it again. Now Hei Ruyue has a miscarriage, and your third aunt has just killed your third uncle. If Hei Ruyue wants to have another child from our Lan family, she won't have that chance unless she goes to your second uncle."

"They want to integrate into our Lan family by having children and gradually take over everything in the Lan family. This path will not work. They will probably just tear each other apart, just like Junbo said. Hei Mingyu suffered a loss at the hands of the two of you last night. With these old grudges and new hatreds added together, the storm will be very intense."

"Dad asked you two to come here just to tell you something, so you can have some peace of mind. Lan Zheng, Dad has something to tell you, but you keep questioning him. Dad won't tell you anything, and you say he's arbitrary and tyrannical and won't tell you anything. What happened to the promise that when you grow up, you'll be able to share Dad's worries?"

"Lan Zheng, I know you love your mother and have always been on her side, but you are the young master of the Lan family, the future of the Lan family. Your determination is not enough. As the head of a large family, you must remain calm when encountering things. Don't panic, don't be emotional, and don't act impulsively."

Lan Zheng pursed his lips, turned his face away, and stopped competing with his father about whose eyes were bigger.

"The Hei family must have known about your third uncle's vasectomy. Lan Zheng, Jun Bo, you two should mainly protect the two girls in our family. Dad can handle the rest. If I can't, I'll ask you for help."

"In the coming days, be extra careful when traveling. Don't let your friends from City A come over for now, to avoid getting involved in the dispute between our two families."

“Dad, our Jun family is not afraid of trouble.”

Ye Junbo said in a low voice, "I am the son-in-law of your Lan family. It is impossible for me to stay out of this matter."

Lan Rui said, "Dad's point is that the Mu and Yang families should try not to get involved. They are ordinary people and cannot withstand such shady retaliation. The Yang family has the Ouyang family's protection, and the Mu family has your Jun family's protection. They are very safe in City A."

Ye Junbo nodded and said, "I'll tell Qingqing later that Father Mu and the others don't really want to come over. They're worried that if they come, it will make you uncomfortable and feel that it will take away Qingqing's filial piety towards you."

Lan Rui's expression was filled with gratitude. "The Mu family are all very considerate and good people."

After helping them raise their daughter and their daughter recognized them, the Mu family still suppressed their feelings and asked Qingqing to return to them and be filial to them.

They owe the Mu family too much.

Lan Rui didn't want the Mu family to be involved because he owed them too much.

Of course, we still have to arrange for someone to secretly protect the Mu family. The man surnamed Hei is cruel and ruthless, and he knows Qingqing's feelings towards the Mu family. If they kidnap the Mu family, they will be in a passive position.

"Qingqing's jewelry store, your mother still insists on buying shares, right?"

Lan Rui didn't dare to talk to his wife about this matter, for fear that their relationship would become even more strained.

He just mentioned it to his daughter, and he probably told Yi Mo as well. Yi Mo didn't treat him well for several days.
