"You win." Xiao Lan glanced at the phone on the ground and pursed her lips.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguard bent down, picked up the phone, and smashed it to the ground, shattering it into pieces. He then pointed to the doorway with his chin.

Little Blue slunk away.

The bodyguard immediately took out his phone and called Wei Qiao.

"Understood, I will send more people over," Wei Qiao instructed. "Remember, you absolutely cannot let any more people in."

“This can’t go on like this.” Rong Mo pondered for a moment. “Wei Qiao, spread the word and have all the media companies under the Rong Group write press releases to announce Zhi Qiu’s return to the Rong family in a high-profile manner and publish positive articles.”

"Is it alright?" Rong Mo glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu. "Before, you wanted to return to the Rong family quietly, but now it seems that being low-key is definitely not an option. Your brother and father can't stand by and watch you be so easily accused and slandered."

“Okay, brother, you can decide.” Shen Zhi Qiu nodded. “Originally, I was thinking of keeping a low profile and protecting Niannian and Zhaozhao to the greatest extent possible, not wanting them to be targeted at such a young age.”

But I was too naive; people can be treacherous.

"Knowing Autumn".

Suddenly, Rong Hong's somewhat anxious voice rang out from the doorway.

He walked in hurriedly.

Perhaps the atmosphere in the room was too serious, because Niannian, who was lying on the bed playing with her little toes, suddenly pouted and burst into tears.

Shen Zhi Qiu heard her crying, turned around and saw her baby wiping away tears with a wronged expression, her little face slightly red, her eyes blinking as she looked at Shen Zhi Qiu.

Just as Shen Zhi Qiu was about to step forward and hug Nian Nian, Rong Hong rushed over, bent down and hugged Nian Nian in his arms, gently comforting her, "Nian Nian, baby, be good, don't cry, don't cry, Grandpa is here, Grandpa is here to keep you company."

As she spoke, she casually grabbed a tissue from the bedside table and carefully wiped away Niannian's tears.

Niannian stared at Rong Hong with her big, round eyes, stopped crying, and then tentatively reached out to touch the beard on Rong Hong's chin before bursting into tears again.

"Sigh, why is she crying again?" Rong Hong looked at Shen Zhi Qiu helplessly. "She stopped crying when she saw me just now, why did she suddenly break down like this? What should we do?"

"Dad, your beard pricked her hand." Rong Mo smiled helplessly, but also felt a little sorry for her.

"Ah?" Rong Hong was a little embarrassed and quickly moved his face away. He smiled and said to Niannian, "It's all Grandpa's fault. Grandpa will shave all his beard in a little while, okay? My darling."

Niannian still had tears on her eyelashes, and she looked at Rong Hong with a pout, feeling a little wronged. Then she looked at Shen Zhi Qiu for help.

Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and stepped forward, gently patting Niannian's round little head, coaxing her tenderly, "Niannian, this is your grandpa, have you forgotten? Grandpa loves Niannian the most, Niannian, can you let grandpa hold you for a little while longer?"

Niannian put her chubby little hand in her mouth and bit it, then looked at Rong Hong with a sweet smile.

"Haha, she smiled at me!" Rong Hong was overjoyed, almost dancing with excitement. "Niannian is so good, Grandpa loves Niannian the most."

After coaxing her for a while, Niannian started to feel sleepy. She tilted her little head and slowly rested it on Rong Hong's shoulder, smacking her lips as she fell asleep.

"Dad, put her down, she's quite heavy. Niannian is asleep, she won't wake up anytime soon," Shen Zhi Qiu said to Rong Hong in a low voice as she watched her fall asleep.

Rong Hong nodded quietly, walked slowly to the crib, and gently put Niannian down, afraid of waking her.

Thankfully, Niannian was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.

Just then, the nanny returned carrying Zhaozhao, who was also sleeping soundly.

Everyone quietly withdrew, leaving the postpartum nanny to look after the children.

Just as everyone was sitting in the living room preparing to discuss their next move, Wei Qiao's phone rang again.

Wei Qiao frowned, took out her phone, and quickly answered the call.

Rong Mo gave him a look, and Wei Qiao then turned on speakerphone.

"Brother Wei, these paparazzi have somehow found Miss Yan Yan's location again, and they've been harassing her again."

A social media influencer was the first to sneak over, even disguising himself as a doctor to try and get information out of Ms. Yan. However, Ms. Yan saw through his ruse, and he became enraged and even tried to hit her. Luckily, the caregiver returned from the restroom and quickly notified me.

"How is it now?" Wei Qiao asked, suppressing his anger.

"Miss Yan insists on being discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home so as not to cause us any trouble. I'm in a bit of a dilemma because she lives alone, and a caregiver can't go home with her to take care of her," the bodyguard said anxiously.

"Did the doctor say I can be discharged?" Rong Mo pondered for a moment before asking the key question.

"I asked the doctor, and he said I can be discharged and go home to recuperate, but I won't be able to walk and will need someone to take care of me."

"Alright, arrange for someone to take Miss Yan Yan back to the Rong family's villa," Rong Mo decided.

After hanging up the phone, Rong Mo instructed Aunt Zhao to tidy up the guest room.

Seeing Rong Hong's confusion, Rong Mo explained, "Yan Yan fell and injured herself while attending Zhi Qiu's family reunion banquet. It's only right and proper that we take care of her. Since no one is looking after her, I'm worried that paparazzi might stake out her house and harass her. People these days will do anything for clicks; it would be troublesome if something happened."

"At least if we recuperate here, everyone can help look after us. Outsiders won't be able to get close to the villa. I've already transferred more people from Wei Qiao to strengthen security measures, ensuring that no one has a chance to sneak in and harass Zhi Qiu."

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Jia walked out of the study with a serious expression. When she saw Shen Zhi Qiu, she looked at her with some heartache.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhi Qiu was the first to notice Lu Jia and sensed something was amiss.

“Shen Yanshan is doing an online interview program with a local media outlet in Nancheng.” Lu Jia pursed her lips. “But I was focused on Xinxia Media just now and overlooked the others. I found out a bit late, but it has already spread on TikTok.”

Shen Zhi Qiu frowned. She had already guessed that Shen Yan Shan would cause trouble, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

“I’ve already disconnected the live stream once, but they must have hired experts too. They’ve been upgrading their firewall and switching between different lines.” Lu Jia frowned. His home computer was only equipped with the most basic configuration, and he immediately regretted not having prepared better beforehand.

"It's nothing. I want to see what he has to say." Shen Zhi Qiu sneered and opened the live stream.
