"Ring, ring, ring..."
Lan Rui's cell phone rang.
He suddenly felt that he had found someone to vent his anger on.
He took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID showed that it was the person he sent to find his sister. His anger subsided in an instant. Instead of answering the call immediately, he hung up the call.
"Mom, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Every time Lan Rui received a call like this, he would go to the lawn. It was spacious there, and even though there were many trees planted on the edge of the lawn, if he stood in the middle of the lawn to answer the phone, someone hiding behind the trees would not be able to hear what he said.
He felt it was safer than his father's study.
The wife of the head of the family seemed not to hear what he said and continued to coax the doll in her arms.
Lan Rui bent down and tentatively helped her up.
The wife of the head of the family had no intention of refusing.
Lan Rui helped her up and said softly, "Mom, I'll take you for a walk in the pasture."
My mother suddenly burst into tears. My grandmother and two aunts must have heard about it. Since he was not at home, they would come and cause trouble for my mother.
Although Aunt Ling was there, she was just an employee after all and could not stop the three masters.
His grandmother can be considered a strong old lady.
"Be good, baby. Mommy will take you out for a walk and some sun. It will help with calcium absorption."
The head of the family's wife coaxed the doll in her arms while following Lan Rui's footsteps.
The mother and son left the room.
"Madam, Young Master."
Aunt Ling came over.
"Master, where are you taking my wife?"
Aunt Ling saw that Madam's eyes were still red and there was sadness in her eyes.
"Auntie Ling, I'm taking my mom out for a walk. No one needs to follow."
"Master, it's hot outside."
"It's afternoon now, the sun isn't that strong anymore. It's not good for my mom to stay in the room all the time. She needs to go out and get some sunlight more often."
The wife of the head of the household had very fair skin, the kind of pale white that was rarely caused by sunlight.
"Then, Young Master, please take good care of the Madam."
Aunt Ling did not stop her.
In this family, the young master is the one who is really good to his wife. After all, they are biological mother and son.
Lan Rui hummed.
He took his mother's hand and led her downstairs.
The mother and son were still on the stairs when they saw the old lady and the third wife come in.
The third wife was talking as she walked, and the old lady looked very unhappy.
Without even asking, Lan Rui knew that the Third Wife was saying bad things about his mother, saying that her crying disturbed others and was depressing.
"Lan Rui, shouldn't you be in the company at this time?"
The Third Wife saw Lan Rui leading his mother downstairs and said something with a forced smile. Without giving Lan Rui a chance to respond, she added sarcastically, "You're the vice president of the Lan Group and have a busy schedule. If you keep coming home, your work will have to be assigned to my Lan Bin. He's not the vice president, but he's doing the vice president's job. And you and your son haven't given him a promotion or a raise. You're treating my Lan Bin like a beast of burden."
Lan Rui said coldly: "If Third Aunt feels that Lan Bin has suffered a loss, she can just ask him to resign."
Lan Bin is just his assistant in the Lan Group and hasn't even gotten the position of manager.
The father who was in charge of the Lan Group was resentful towards his biological son because of Hei Ruyue's sowing discord, but in the company, his father still relied on him very much and put him in the position of successor.
The children of the second and third wives were all suppressed by him in the Lan Group.
Lan Bin is a capable person, but his father refused to give him a high position and only let him be his assistant.
Lan Rui knew in his heart that his father was testing him. Lan Bin was of similar age to him and was not bad in ability. If he could not control Lan Bin, his father would not hand the Lan family over to him.
The tasks he usually assigned to Lan Bin were all trivial matters, and the truly important documents would never pass through Lan Bin's hands. He also had a special assistant by his side, who was his confidant and loyal to him.
The third wife choked.
If Lan Bin leaves the Lan Group, the Lan Group will truly be the world of my uncle and his son.
The third wife was unwilling and felt it was unfair.
The Lan Group is not the private property of the eldest wife, but belongs to the entire Lan family. Why is it controlled by my uncle and his son?
"Mom, listen to me. I just said that, and Lan Rui treated me like that. Mom, you and Dad are still here. If you two were gone for a hundred years and Lan Rui was in charge, it would be unknown whether our third branch could still live in this manor."
Lan Rui's face was dark.
He hates his third aunt the most.
He is very talkative and likes to stir up trouble in front of his grandmother.
Grandma became increasingly mean to his mother, and that was all thanks to Third Aunt and Hei Ruoyue.
Third Aunt and Hei Ruyue have a very good relationship.
"Lan Rui, watch your attitude. This is your third aunt, an elder."
The old lady said something to Lan Rui indifferently, then asked, "What's wrong with your mother? I told you to send her to a resort in the suburbs to recuperate, and have Aunt Ling go with her to take care of her. What else are you worried about?"
"She's causing trouble every other day, so you have to go home more often and don't have to take care of the company's affairs? Lan Rui, you are the young master, and the burden and responsibility of a young master are very heavy. Your mother is a drag and will drag you down."
"She holds a doll and calls her baby every day. The baby was lost by her, yet she still has the nerve to call her baby. If it weren't for her, my precious granddaughter wouldn't have been missing for more than 20 years."
The old lady still felt sad when she thought of that lovely granddaughter who looked so much like her.
Even though she has other granddaughters now, Lan Qing still has a place in her heart.
"grandmother!"
Lan Rui said seriously, "My sister's disappearance cannot be blamed on my mother. My sister is missing, and the person who is most heartbroken is my mother. For more than 20 years, all you have done is blame my mother and shed a few tears when my sister is mentioned, and then you just go on with your lives."
"But what about my mom? Look how sad she is. You keep blaming her. Is it really her fault? If there's anything wrong, it's that my mom shouldn't have married my dad! It was clearly my dad who got involved in the bad love affair that harmed my sister and my mom, and you're still putting the blame on my mom."
"You're bullying her because she's losing her mind now, right? You're bullying her because her family has no one left, right? My mom still has me. As long as I, Lan Rui, am here, I won't allow anyone to bully my mom again!"
Lan Rui stared at the old lady coldly.
"Mom, look at the look in his eyes. He looks like he wants to eat you alive. And you're his grandmother!"
"Someone come!"
Lan Rui suddenly shouted in a deep voice.
Two bodyguards came in soon.
It's his bodyguard.
"Kick the Third Madam out!"
The Third Madam's expression suddenly changed as she screamed, "Lan Rui, how dare you! I'm your Third Aunt, your elder! How dare you kick me out?"
