Ran Jie ignored everyone at the meeting and left the conference room, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment.
After a while, a senior executive cautiously asked the chairman, who was sitting at the head of the table, "Chairman, shall we continue today's seminar?"
Although the seminar for signing artists is supposed to be a forum to hear everyone's opinions, everyone present knew perfectly well that Ran Jie was the one who ultimately made the decision.
After all, whether an artist can bring profits to the company depends on Ran Jie's guidance.
In the past, the chairman trusted Ran Jie very much and never interfered with this matter.
However, the chairman's behavior in this matter concerning Jian Ruoxi seems somewhat strange.
"Who is this Jian Ruoxi? Could she be some kind of relative of the chairman?" someone whispered.
"The chairman knows Ran Jie's temperament, and has never sent people in so blatantly before."
"I think the chairman probably also wants Ran Jie to take Jian Ruoxi with him."
They couldn't help but gasp; the chairman had gone a bit too far.
The chairman, sitting at the head of the table, naturally knew how difficult it would be to get past Ran Jie, but since Lu Shen was also watching him closely from behind, he had no choice but to take it seriously.
After some thought, the chairman made a decision that shocked everyone: "We'll discuss the signing of artists at a later date."
Meanwhile, inside the hospital.
The doctor is giving the elderly woman in the VIP ward a final check-up.
"The old lady has been resting very well these past few days and is ready to be discharged from the hospital at any time."
The old lady looked at her eldest grandson with some pride, "See, I told you he could be discharged, but you didn't believe me."
After hearing the doctor's words, the old lady couldn't help but get out of bed to pack her things, wishing she could go home right now; she didn't want to stay in the hospital for even a second longer.
"What about Li Anran?" In the past two days, Lu Shen noticed that Li Anran's emotions seemed to have stabilized a lot.
The doctor quickly replied, "Ms. Li, staying in the hospital now will not help your recovery much. It would be better for you to go home as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Li Anran entered.
These past two days, after she felt a little better, whenever Lu Shen wasn't around, she would come to the old lady's bedside to "show filial piety" and make the old lady very happy.
Whether or not she can successfully enter the Lu family and become the young mistress of the Lu family is still a matter of considerable influence for the old lady.
"Did I say that? I heard my name just now," Li Anran asked the doctor who had spoken earlier.
The doctor was sensible and didn't dare to speak at this moment. In the end, it was Lu Shao who decided whether Li Anran would stay or leave.
Before Lu Shen could speak, the old lady excitedly waved to Li Anran, "I was just wondering when you were coming over, come quickly to Grandma's side."
Holding Li Anran's hand, the old lady scrutinized her closely, unable to get enough of looking at her.
This genuine heiress is much more pleasing to the eye than that Jian Ruoxi.
"The doctor just said that you've recovered almost completely, and you can come back to the Lu family with me."
Li Anran was overjoyed, but tried her best to remain calm on the surface, looking expectantly at Lu Shen, who remained silent to the side.
“Grandma, this is not appropriate,” Lu Shen said directly, refusing the request.
Hearing this, the old lady became somewhat displeased.
"Why is it inappropriate? An Ran is not going to marry you sooner or later. She should have held your engagement banquet when she returned to China, but it has been delayed until now because of some unrelated people."
The old lady got angry as soon as she saw Jian Ruoxi's face. Not only did Jian Ruoxi's face look the same as that woman's, but they also both came from the entertainment industry, which the old lady hated the most.
If she hadn't fought hard back then, she would never have been able to marry into the Lu family.
Looking at Li Anran's aggrieved expression, the old lady could always think of herself when her marriage was almost ruined.
“Grandma, Ruoxi has been a member of the Lu family for three years after all, so she can’t be considered an unrelated person.”
He doesn't want to erase any memories of those three years.
When the doctor saw that they were talking about their family matters, he withdrew at the appropriate time and closed the door for them. Then, some curious nurses came up to him and said, "Doctor, what are they saying in there? Can you tell us?"
Of course, what they mainly wanted to hear was about Lu Shen.
These nurses and female doctors looked forward to Lu Shen's arrival every day, feeling happy that they could see Young Master Lu earlier than Li Anran each day.
"You'd better not ask about this. It's not something you need to know. Go and do your own things."
After driving away everyone who had gathered outside the ward, the doctor took a deep look inside and couldn't help but feel relieved.
"After today, Miss Li will no longer need to work at our hospital, right?"
He also had to worry about her safety every day to prevent her from having another relapse and suddenly harming herself. As a doctor, he had to keep his mind on things during this period, which was really not easy.
Inside the room, the old lady glared angrily, pointing at Lu Shen's nose and cursing, "He's just an actor. If it weren't for your grandfather's insistence, I would never have let someone like that into the Lu family."
Lu Shen frowned involuntarily; he was clearly displeased that his grandmother had mentioned Jian Ruoxi.
The old lady could tell her grandson was angry, but relying on her status as an elder and Lu Shen's respect, she became even more unrestrained in her speech, thinking that no matter what she said, her A-Shen would not hold it against her.
"After being a daughter-in-law of the Lu family for three years, I still feel that I have disgraced the Lu family."
Lu Shen could no longer hold back and retorted, "Grandma, you've gone a bit too far."
"Is that all? I haven't even said the really harsh things yet." The old lady couldn't calm her anger at the thought of living under the same roof as Jian Ruoxi for three years.
"Shen, don't tell me you still want that woman back?"
Chen Shen did not answer this question.
But Li Anran paused noticeably, and her silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
So, is this what Lu Shen really wants? She's become this inhuman and ghostly state, and Lu Shen still wants that woman to come back. What about her?
She has already lost so much because of Lu Shen, what should she do?
Li Anran reached out and gently patted the old lady's back to help her breathe, saying, "Grandma, don't worry, talk it out slowly."
“I understand Ah Shen’s thoughts. Ah Shen feels that it’s not appropriate for me to live in the Lu family’s house before we are engaged.”
"This is also because Ah Shen was thinking of me."
The old lady was very pleased with Li Anran's feigned magnanimity and understanding. The more she looked at this daughter-in-law, the more she liked her. It was clear that those who had been raised in wealthy families were different.
Look at her demeanor; this is how a young mistress of the Lu family should be.
The old lady held Li Anran's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Anran, no matter when the engagement banquet is held..."
"In Grandma's eyes, you are the only daughter-in-law of the Lu family."
