“Yes,” Lin Yuqing said with a smile, “We don’t want to let our daughter suffer, but she…”
"Xiaoyou, that's not right of you!" Lu Ming narrowed his eyes. "You should accept the things your parents give you! It's a matter of etiquette as a junior!"
Lu Ran clenched her fists, then slowly relaxed them, paused for a moment, and gently took the document.
Lin Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she smiled with delight.
"I...I'll sign it," Lu Ran said softly, "but could I take a closer look?"
"Of course!" Lin Yuqing quickly agreed. "After you finish eating, go back to your room and take a good look. You can look at it for as long as you want. If you need a lawyer's help, I have someone suitable here!"
"Sister-in-law, I have a few good lawyers here, you can..."
"No need!" Lu Ran suddenly looked up.
Lu Ming was taken aback. Although she still looked timid, in that instant when their eyes met, he clearly saw a resolute look he had never seen before in her eyes.
He was somewhat surprised and watched her quietly.
“No need for Uncle’s introduction,” Lu Ran took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yuqing, “Let’s… let’s use the lawyers from our company. After all, we’re all from the same company and are very familiar with the business.”
"Xiaoyou," Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "the lawyers at your parents' company handle important matters! Don't bother them with such trivial things!"
“This… shouldn’t be a small matter,” Lu Ran said calmly. “The Lu Group will be mine in the future, so now… I should naturally have a better understanding of personnel and business. Let’s start by getting to know lawyers.”
"you……"
Lu Ming's expression changed.
Could it be that this girl is planning to embezzle it?
But he didn't dare show anything in front of Lin Yuqing.
He clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and sneered, "Fine, whatever Xiaoyou says goes! Well then... you can study this document carefully!"

A few days later, Huo Junyu received a scanned document while he was at the store. It was the very document that Lin Yuqing wanted Lu Ran to sign.
He read it through from beginning to end and found some flaws.
Just then, Huo Junyang called.
"Hey, bro!"
Huo Junyu cut to the chase and asked him, "What's the deal with this document?"
"It was Aunt Yuqing who insisted that Lu Ran sign!"
"But this document...something's not right."
Huo Junyang chuckled, "You have a sharp eye! You noticed something was off after just one look."
"What exactly happened?" Huo Junyu asked. "Why would you want to transfer the shares to overseas assets and insist on paying in US dollars?"
“This was Ranran’s idea!” Huo Junyang replied. “Ranran requested that these shares be inherited in the form of overseas assets; this was her only requirement when she signed the agreement.”
Huo Junyu thought about it and understood.
This is not unprecedented; previously, a minor shareholder of the Huo family also requested to do the same because he wanted to immigrate.
But the process is very complicated.
It takes a long time and involves complex procedures; it could take one or two years to complete.
It turns out that Lu Ran was deliberately stalling for time!
“Brother, now you understand Ranran’s intentions, right?” Huo Junyang rarely spoke in such a deep and serious tone. “Ranran… she really is a good girl. She didn’t dare to go against Lu Ming’s wishes, and she wholeheartedly wanted to give everything back to Xiaoyouzi.”
"So, brother..."
"So, it's time to tell Mianmian the truth."
Huo Junyu's voice was low and deep. After saying those words, he felt much more relaxed.
Huo Junyang asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure that Mianmian is Xiaoyouzi?"
"yes."
Huo Junyang knew that his older brother had always been the type of person who wouldn't speak rashly without being absolutely certain.
“When Mianmian went to Southeast Asia before, her medical examination report was with her uncle.”
"What?"
"It's quite a coincidence, Uncle Shan was under a lot of work pressure and was overworked a couple of days ago, so he went to the United Hospital for a checkup. I secretly had someone keep a copy of his test sample. And then..."
Huo Junyang was stunned on the other end of the line. "And then, they're father and daughter?"
"99.99%," Huo Junyu said calmly. "Which non-biological father-daughter pair do you think could arrive at this number?"
Huo Junyang was stunned for a long time. After he came to his senses, he kept sighing about the unpredictability of fate, the wonder of destiny, and the arrangement of fate.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Junyu was pondering whether to talk to Jiang Mianmian first or to talk to Jiang Youcai and Su Aiqian first.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian entered the supermarket listlessly.
"What's wrong?" Huo Junyu hurried over and took out a bottle of the most expensive beverage from the refrigerator.
Jiang Mianmian glanced at him, took the drink, and smiled helplessly. "This is the most expensive! If we did business like you, we might as well close down!"
"I think it's a good idea," Huo Junyu said seriously. "With the door closed, it'll just be the two of us in the shop, and I can do some things I like to do..."
"Huo Junyu!"
Jiang Mianmian's face turned bright red.
What she feared most was this man saying the most inappropriate things while wearing the most serious face.
Huo Junyu laughed, put his arm around her waist, and looked at her tenderly, "You look unhappy, what happened?"
"I'm not unhappy, just a little worried," Jiang Mianmian said softly.
"My mom needs to have a physical examination before being discharged from the hospital, and she'll get the report today."
"Oh..." Huo Junyu's expression was complicated. "Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that my mom is getting old and might find out something else... Ugh, pshaw, pshaw, that's just nonsense!"
However, Jiang Mianmian did feel uneasy, though this feeling rarely bothered her.
It's like a heart being suspended by a thin rope, which could break at any moment, but you don't know when it will break.
She gently leaned against Huo Junyu's chest, reached out her small hand to hug him, and listened to his heartbeat, which made her feel a little more at ease.
Huo Junyu stroked her hair and said softly, "It's okay. I'll go to the hospital with you this afternoon after the report comes out."
"Um."
"Don't worry, Auntie is usually in good health, all her indicators are definitely normal."
That's what he said, but he always had a bad feeling about it.
Perhaps everything will end this afternoon, and it will also begin this afternoon.

Led by a nurse, Jiang Youcai arrived at the doctor's office. Upon entering and seeing the doctor's serious face, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mr. Jiang?" The doctor pushed the test report in front of him. "Your wife needs to undergo further detailed examinations."
"Wh...what do you mean?" Jiang Youcai was taken aback. His first reaction was, "Is this hospital trying to scam me by putting one test after another on me?"
"Her condition doesn't look very optimistic based on the medical report." The doctor tapped the table. "Of course, we'll have to wait for further test results before we can come up with a specific treatment plan."
"ah?"
“Mr. Jiang,” the doctor glanced at him, “if Mrs. Jiang has timely surgery and chemotherapy, this disease will not be so serious.”
Jiang Youcai's ears went blank, and his mind went completely blank.
