When Xie Lanzhi was carrying Qin Shu upstairs, his sleeve was gently pulled.

He lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shu pursed her red lips and whispered, "Lina and Yuan Ya's injuries are not light, and grandpa's complexion is not very good either."

"Don't worry about them!"

Xie Lanzhi frowned slightly, and his tone was particularly cold and heartless.

Qin Shu asked tentatively: "Grandpa doesn't care either?"

Xie Lanzhi had a cold face and said nothing. He quickened his pace, stepped onto the stairs, and went straight upstairs.

As soon as the young couple went upstairs, the tense old lady Guo hurriedly called out to the servants, "Quick! Pour me a cup of tea! I'm dying of thirst!"

Several concubines also started shouting at the same time.

"And me! My legs are almost broken!"

"I was so scared today. Lao Wu was shot and her blood was all over me!"

"It's so bloody! Stop talking! Where's the water? Bring me some water quickly, my throat is about to smoke..."

Old Master Guo's eyes were as deep as a pool of stagnant water, shining with wisdom, yet flashing with a hint of sadness.

After all, she was the Fifth Concubine who had been with him for 10 to 20 years. Even though they had been separated for more than ten years, it was impossible for Old Master Guo not to be deeply moved when he saw her die in front of his own eyes.

He called softly, "Hong Yan?"

Li Hongyan, who had just helped Qian Lina up from the ground, responded: "Grandpa——"

Old Master Guo lowered his eyes and said calmly, "You go to collect the body of Old Five on behalf of the Guo family. She has no children, so just send her off. She has relatives still alive at home, so you can also take care of them."

Li Hongyan opened his mouth slightly, and was stunned for a long time before nodding and saying, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

Qian Lina, who was complaining to her cousins ​​about her eldest cousin being too cold-blooded and heartless, heard the conversation between her grandfather and her husband and quickly glanced at the expressions of everyone in the room.

She walked forward, put her arm around Li Hongyan, and asked in a startling tone, "Grandpa, are you asking Ayan to represent you? Do you want to train him to compete with my eldest cousin for the family fortune?"

The sadness on Old Master Guo's face was instantly replaced by anger: "Shut up!"

Qian Lina hid behind Li Hongyan, stuck her head out and made a face.

"Why else would you let A Yan do this? It makes us seem like we are coveting the family property."

Old Master Guo covered his heart and said unhappily, "With your status as the eldest cousin, can you collect the body of a concubine?"

Qian Lina pouted and said, "Although our A Yan is not a legitimate child, he is also the third son of the Li family. Why should he condescend to collect the body of your concubine?"

Old Master Guo was so angry that he picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Qian Lina's head.

"You useless thing! You made me say something clearly!"

Qian Lina retracted her head, avoiding the blow from the pillow, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm stupid. If you don't explain it clearly, I won't understand!"

Old Master Guo sneered and said, "It was your eldest cousin who asked A Yan to be his agent. He will manage the Guo family's assets in the future and go to Beijing every quarter to check accounts with your young cousin's wife!"

Qian Lina's eyes flickered slightly, without any joy in them, and she pulled Li Hongyan out.

"No! We won't do such a thankless job!"

Old Master Guo roared, "Stop right there!"

Qian Lina and Li Hongyan did not stop, and even quickened their pace.

"Lina, where are you going?"

A cold and deep voice came from the second floor. It was Xie Lanzhi.

Qian Lina stood still, an expression of regret appearing on her scarred face.

She slowly turned around and looked up at Xie Lanzhi, who was standing upstairs. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he was full of authoritative oppression.

Qian Lina laughed dryly: "Cousin, I don't want to go anywhere, hahaha..."

Xie Lanzhi's eyes, which could see through people's hearts, stared at Qian Lina, as if he wanted to see through her appearance and reach the depths of her soul.

Xie Lanzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the smiling tiger Li Hongyan, and said indifferently: "Ashu and I will leave Hong Kong in the next few days, and there will not be many opportunities to come back in the future. The Guo family needs to find a qualified successor. You studied financial economics abroad, and Ashu also praised you highly. You are the full agent of the Guo family. Grandpa and I are very relieved."

Qian Lina stopped smiling and asked with a complicated expression: "Are you serious?!"

Xie Lanzhi was playing with a flat box of ointment in his hand. His face was stern and his voice was casual. He said, "Grandpa is old now. He shouldn't work too hard. We, as his children, must take on some of the responsibility."

Qian Lina still looked resistant: "What if a few cousins-in-law get jealous and try to trip up my A-Yan behind my back?"

She really didn't want to take on such a thankless job!

Xie Lanzhi, who was standing upstairs, looked down at Qian Lina, staring at her as if she were a fool.

“Ahem…”

Zhong Man coughed twice, and when everyone looked over, she spoke with a smile.

"Cousin Lina, I'm not planning to get married in this life, and I have enough money to spend. I don't have enough time to eat, drink and have fun every day, so how can I have time to trip you up?"

Qiu Lingling raised her chin and said with a haughty look, "I don't have a husband! Even if I want to find one in the future, I will marry a man with the same profession as me. I can't possibly interfere in family affairs."

Yuan Ya stretched out her hand weakly: "I, I'm still in school, I don't want to..."

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Du Yi, who had been sitting on the sofa like a transparent man, stood up.

He walked forward and put his arm around Yuan Ya's shoulders affectionately, which scared the little white rabbit so much that it shuddered all over.

Du Yi looked at Old Master Guo, his fair and gentle face full of seriousness: "Grandpa Guo, I want to marry Yuan Ya. After she marries me, I will not get any of the Guo family's assets. The assets of the Du family may not be as extensive as those of the Guo family, which is enough for us and even the next generation to squander as much as we want."

Old Master Guo glanced at the timid Yuan Ya and saw that although she was uneasy, she did not resist Du Yi much.

He pondered and said, "Yaya is still young, we'll talk about your business later."

Du Yi saw that there was a play, and nodded readily: "Okay -"

Qian Lina was furious: "No! You guys are bullying my A Yan alone!"

Xie Lanzhi's eyes, hidden in the dim light and shadow, half-closed their eyes, staring at Qian Lina and Li Hongyan.

"Lina, it's not just Li Hongyan, it's also you. You don't have to act crazy to avoid suspicion. Your teacher is known as the most famous economist in the Chinese community and is the dean of the School of Economics and Finance. Don't waste your talent. I will give you a portion of the dividend shares under my name. With what you have learned from A Yan, I believe that the Guo family will move to a higher level."

The deep, powerful voice echoed in the huge living room, carrying with it unquestionable authority.

Old Master Guo took the teacup from the servant, drank most of it, and then slowly stood up.

"It's settled. I'm old and don't want to struggle anymore. I also want to live a few more years. Maybe I'll have a chance to see my great-grandson get married and have children."

The old man looked at Qian Lina and Li Hongyan kindly, "We are all family. Your eldest cousin is confident in you. You and A Yan both have real talents and knowledge. It's better to work hard for your family instead of working for others. The more you earn, the more dividends you will get!"
