After seeing Zhou Shoujun and Zhou Ruiyuan off, Shan Dandan locked the door opposite, glanced at her godmother and Su Jianwei who were reunited with their family across the street, and lowered her head silently.
"Dandan, what are you doing? Come in." Lin Yulan waved to Shan Dandan at the door.
Shan Dandan smiled and walked towards Lin Yulan with brisk steps.
The afternoon on the first day of the Lunar New Year is always leisurely. Although Shan Dandan had something on her mind, she gradually put it aside while helping Lin Yulan make pastries.
Now that things have come to this, let it be.
Tomorrow, no matter what the result is, she is willing to accept it.
Shan Dandan did not return home that night. After dinner, Lin Yulan and Rong Wanting watched TV and chatted at home; Su Jianwei and Shan Dandan took the twins, who had always wanted to go out and play, to the most lively place in the city to play.
Whenever she sat with Lin Yulan, Rong Wanting never took her eyes off her.
"Is there something dirty on my face?" Lin Yulan looked at Rong Wanting in confusion.
Rong Wanting smiled and shook her head, and there was heartache in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yulan.
"Your uncle and your cousins will come over tomorrow, and we'll go out for dinner together."
Lin Yulan pursed her lips subconsciously.
"Sister Yu, you don't have to be nervous because your mother is here."
Rong Wanting held Lin Yulan's hand and said gently, "You were still young at the time, so you can't remember it clearly."
"Mom's family, the Rong family, was once a prominent family in Shanghai. In the late 1940s, due to the war, your grandfather took your eldest and third uncles to Hong Kong. Your second uncle studied in Country M. I was determined to become a businessman to save the country, so I stayed in Shanghai."
"Later, I married your father and agreed to have two children: one would take his surname, Zhou, and the other would take mine, Rong."
"Do you remember your name?"
Lin Yulan nodded. Her father once said that.
"Rong Yu."
Rong Wanting smiled and said, "That's right, Rong Yu."
"This name was given by your grandfather. At that time, you were the only little girl in the entire Rong family, so he named you Rongyu. The beautiful jade of the Rong family will also be the honor of the Rong family."
However, this piece of beautiful jade from their Rong family was lost when she was five years old.
Lin Yulan nodded. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be very favored when she was a child, but she didn't expect to be so favored.
"The old man gave you this name when you were born. When you turned one, he gave you 5% of the shares of the Rong Group."
Rong Wanting's tone was filled with pride. "Don't underestimate this 5% stake. You were the only one of your generation who owned shares in the group."
"Even your eldest cousin, who is about to inherit the Rong family, only owns 5%, and the other younger generations only own 2% at most."
Lin Yulan looked at Rong Wanting in surprise.
Rong Wanting smiled and said, "Mom still has 22% of the shares. With yours included, the two of us are also major shareholders of the Rong family."
She originally only had 15%, and the subsequent 7% was bought from her third brother, who is now far away in Country E and has the best relationship with her.
Her eldest brother, the current head of the Rong family, holds 40% of the shares, and the remaining shares are all distributed among the Rong family members.
Rong Wanting can be said to be the largest shareholder of the Rong family besides Rong Huanian.
Lin Yulan nodded.
She had been running around for the factory during this period, so of course she had heard of the Rong family's name, not to mention that she had previously cooperated with Rong's Department Store and delivered goods to it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yulan suddenly remembered someone, Rong Jingsheng, who was introduced to her by Mu Shiming before.
He seemed to be the eldest cousin that Rong Wanting had mentioned, and the one who was about to inherit the Rong family.
She sighed again that the world was really too small.
"There will be two banquets in Hong Kong City on the fourth and fifth days of the New Year. You and Weiwei will go with me to attend them."
Rong Wanting held Lin Yulan's hand and said, "I want to take this opportunity to tell everyone about your return. I, Rong Wanting, finally have a successor."
Although Zhou Ruiyuan is also her child, Lin Yulan and Zhou Ruiyuan have had different plans for the future since birth.
Although Rong Wanting and Zhou Shoujun are taking care of two children at the same time, their focuses are different.
Rong Wanting has always known that Zhou Ruiyuan belongs to the Zhou family and that he is going to take over Zhou Shoujun's job.
But now that her daughter is back, everything she has in the Rong family, including the connections and wealth she has accumulated, does not have to be given to the Zhou family, but can be transferred to her daughter.
The Zhou family is not the only one.
Rong Wanting never wanted to get involved in the Zhou family's affairs. It was their business whether the father and son wanted to support and take care of the Zhou family, and she would not get involved.
She married Zhou Shoujun and was never from the Zhou family.
"I……"
Lin Yulan has always believed that she can do things according to her ability. Her current ability is only enough to manage the small factory she owns. If she were to get to know the people mentioned by Rong Wanting, she would definitely show her weakness.
"I might embarrass you."
Lin Yulan still expressed her concerns.
To put it bluntly, she has lived as an ordinary cook in the past few decades. Now if she were to wear fancy clothes and attend a high-end dinner party, she would just be seen as a clown in the eyes of others.
She has no confidence in herself.
Rong Wanting held Lin Yulan's hand and shook her head, "You won't be embarrassed."
"You are the eldest daughter of our Rong family. No one dares to laugh at you."
It’s not that no one laughed, it’s that no one dared to laugh.
