"Wait a moment!"
Lan Zhenhua quickly walked to Gu Siyu and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Siyu. I have done many things to hurt you over the years. I just hope you can forgive me, such an irresponsible father."
Gu Siyu looked up and saw that Lan Zhenhua's cheeks were pale, his expression was listless, and he looked completely out of energy.
"Maybe your apology is sincere this time, but it's too late. There hasn't been a single happy day in my twenty years of memories! I'm sorry, I can't accept it!"
Lan Zhenhua grabbed Gu Siyu who was about to turn around and said sincerely: "It's okay, I will try my best to repair the relationship between us father and daughter. Give me some time, you believe me!"
Gu Siyu pulled her hand away and said apologetically, "No need, I'll take grandma back."
Ouyang Muqing glared at Lan Zhenhua angrily, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! You deserve it!"
Lan Zhenhua held his forehead helplessly, blaming himself for being so soft-hearted that he believed the lies of that woman Xia Qianhui!
Now that my daughter doesn’t recognize me, I can only blame myself for what I have done!
"Mom, you're my real mom! Can you at least say a few good words for me?"
Ouyang Muqing pounded his shoulders and said, "Oh, I'm tired. Siyu, let's go back!"
Gu Siyu nodded and helped Ouyang Muqing into the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped steadily in front of the door of the Lan family's old house.
Gu Siyu carefully helped her grandmother out of the car. Qin Haotian handed the keys to the housekeeper and followed her in.
After Ouyang Muqing returned home, he completely relaxed. "Hey, are you tired? I've asked the kitchen to prepare food. You should eat lunch before leaving!"
Gu Siyu knew that with such a huge change in the family, although her grandmother was pretending to be happy on the surface, she must be very sad behind the scenes! So she couldn't leave her grandmother no matter what, and she had to accompany her through the most difficult days.
"I'm not leaving. I've asked my tutor for a week's leave. I'll go back to school after this is over."
Ouyang Muqing asked worriedly, "Is this okay? Don't push yourself! I'm an experienced person and have seen all sorts of situations. You don't have to worry about me!"
It would be a lie for Gu Siyu to say that she was not worried, but she would never admit it in front of her grandmother. If she did that, she would definitely be sent back to school by her grandmother!
"No! I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid someone will come to take revenge! You see, Lan Yaxin is still outside, and Xia Qianhui has an accomplice, my adoptive mother, who is also outside. If the two of them team up to take revenge, I can protect you!"
Ouyang Muqing laughed dumbly and said, "You're worried about me, aren't you? How about this? You stay here today and go to school tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Gu Siyu patted her backpack and explained, "I brought my laptop and books with me, so I won't delay my work in the lab. Grandma, please stop trying to persuade me."
Seeing Gu Siyu's insistence, Ouyang Muqing had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay then! I'll ask them to clean up a room and you can stay here!"
Gu Siyu happily made a scissors hand gesture, "Yeah! Grandma is so nice to me!"
Ouyang Muqing touched Gu Siyu's hair lovingly and said, "Silly child, you are so kind to grandma! The Lan family owes you too much over the years. Fortunately, your father and your five brothers have come to their senses now. Your good days are still ahead!"
Tears flashed in Gu Siyu's eyes, and she asked curiously, "Grandma, why don't you persuade me to forgive my father and brothers?"
Ouyang Muqing smiled and said, "Will persuasion be of any use? If one day you truly forgive them, then forgive them. They deserve what they've suffered now! I don't know how many times I've tried to persuade them, but they just wouldn't listen to me!"
Gu Siyu was so moved that she almost cried as she nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Grandma is the only one in this world who understands me the most!"
Ouyang Muqing thought for a moment and said, "I plan to have your father come over this afternoon. Logically, tomorrow is Lan Yaxin's twentieth birthday party. The invitations have already been sent out, and it's too late to stop it now. So, what should we say and do at the birthday party tomorrow is crucial. We must not let anyone gossip about us!"
Gu Siyu nodded and said, "Yes! We really need to talk things over in advance about this matter, and don't let anything slip tomorrow."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Zhenhua and his five sons hurried to the Lan family's old house.
At this time, Ouyang Muqing had just finished his nap and felt much more energetic than in the morning.
"You all came together? Then take a seat! I have something I want to discuss with you."
Lan Zhenhua asked curiously, "What's the matter? Mom, just tell me!"
Ouyang Muqing said with a serious face, "What are you going to do tomorrow? The invitations have been sent out, so we have to do it. If we do, we have to have a strategy and we can't let anyone know!"
Lan Zhenhua had also thought about this when he was fighting with Xia Qianhui in the morning. It was really difficult for him to say this out loud!
"I can't say it, it's so embarrassing! I even want to sell No. 17 Cuihu!"
Ouyang Muqing glared at Lan Zhenhua with a look of dismay and cursed, "How could I have such a useless son like you! If you don't speak up, who will? Do I, an old woman at my age, have to clean up your mess?"
Lan Zhenhua gritted his teeth and was so worried that his hair was about to fall out!
"Okay, okay! Let me tell you! I really owed Xia Qianhui in my previous life, and she played me like this in this life!"
Ouyang Muqing finally nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it! Then you can cancel the birthday party, apologize to the guests, and then change it into a press conference to announce Lan Yaxin and Xia Qianhui's relationship."
Lan Zhenhua said worriedly, "Will this affect the company's stock price? I'm afraid the market will lose confidence in us and it will keep falling!"
Gu Siyu stood up and put forward a different point of view.
"I don't think so! Truth will come to light sooner or later. Tomorrow, the Xia Group will also announce that it has severed ties with Xia Qianhui and Lan Yaxin. We can grab some publicity before they do!"
"Then repackage your miserable character, Dad. Once more and more people support you online, the Lan Group's stock will only rise and not fall!"
Lan Zhenhua thought it sounded plausible and asked impatiently, "How do I package it? What should I say to the reporters? Have you thought about it yet?"
Gu Siyu took out a piece of paper and said, "Hold it here. Basically, all the questions the reporters will ask are here. Don't make any mistakes. If you make a mistake, you will make a fool of yourself and no one will believe us anymore!"
Lan Zhenhua took the paper, glanced at it, and patted his chest to assure him, "No problem! I've been the chairman for so many years, I won't embarrass you!"
Gu Siyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll cough to remind you then."
Lan Zhenhua jumped up excitedly, as if he had made millions!
"No problem! I'll listen to my daughter in everything!"
