When Lan Xi woke up, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She supported herself on the edge of the bed and crawled up. She couldn't control her expression because of the pain in her back.
Lan Xi stood up slowly. She was already sweating. She reached out to open the curtains. The rain had stopped. The clouds in the sky looked very beautiful, neither blue nor pink.
The air smelled pleasant of wet earth. She took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the bedroom.
The living room was filled with the sweet aroma of radish. Bai Yun heard the noise and came out: "You're awake! Do you want to drink now?"
"Well, drink it now! I don't have much appetite!" Lan Xi moved slowly, sat down in front of the dining table, and waited quietly for Bai Yun to bring her soup.
The soup was stewed until it was milky white, with pork ribs hanging at the bottom. Bai Yun guessed that Lan Xi had no appetite, so she only gave her a few pieces of radish and tofu.
The radish was very sweet, which whetted Lan Xi's appetite. Bai Yun later felt lucky that she had cooked other dishes, as she had not expected Lan Xi to eat so much.
"You are so heartless! You don't even care about the injuries on your body!" Seeing her eating happily, Bai Yun sitting next to her sighed.
Unexpectedly, Lan Xi laughed: "You don't know what a beating can bring you. It's just physical pain!"
After seeing Li Yulan off, Bai Yun saw the trending search and probably guessed that Lan Xi’s beating was related to this incident.
Seeing Lan Xi like this, she felt a little distressed. When did her own child have to suffer physical pain in exchange for what he wanted?
She didn't know that wealthy families were much more cruel than this, and Lan Xi had paid the least among the vast majority.
"The first phase of the project is progressing smoothly, and the benefits are better than we expected!" After Zhu Lingling came back in the evening, she took out the report for this period.
Jiang Xing gave it to her and exaggeratedly expressed his admiration for Liu Hongxia.
Lan Xi looked it up and down, then put it aside. "Let's wait and see. It's only been a short while. How's Liang Qinyin?"
"Listen honestly, she said she wanted to rest early today, so she asked me to come back first!"
Zhu Lingling has been taking the young lady from the Liang family around these past two days, touring Shanghai and eating out. The originally spoiled eldest daughter has been very obedient recently, which gives her a bad feeling.
Lan Xi stood up from her seat, holding onto the armrest of the chair: "Let our people keep a tight grip, and don't let anything happen!"
"knew!"
"The gentleman seemed to have proposed to stop cooperation with the Yang family, but the Yang family did not agree!" Coming out of the study, Zhu Lingling reported on the progress of Lan Ting'an.
Lan Xi took small steps forward, feeling a little nervous about the medicine in her backpack. "No matter what, let's wait for the old man's follow-up. If he doesn't move, it won't be too late to switch to this side."
"What are you two talking about in the study? It's time to eat!" Qin Xiangnan was sitting at the dining table and had already started eating with Cheng Chiyan. When he saw the two people come out, he urged them.
Zhu Lingling walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and waited for Lan Xi to sit down.
"You guys eat! I've already eaten!" Lan Xi refused and walked towards the living room.
The slow pace made Qin Xiangnan frown: "Are you injured?"
Cheng Chiyan also discovered the problem after Lan Xi came out of the office.
"It's nothing. I was beaten by the old man. Otherwise, who do you think can hurt me?" Lan Xi said lazily, walking a little hard.
Cheng Chiyan put down the bowl in his hand and wanted to carry her to the sofa. Zhu Lingling reached out and hit the back of his hand: "It's easy to tear!"
Lan Xi's injury was on her back, and no matter what posture she took, it would easily tear the wound that she had bandaged with great difficulty.
Qin Xiangnan glanced at Cheng Chiyan, then at Zhu Lingling, who was obviously unhappy, and turned to Lan Xi and said, "Your old man is so cruel!"
Lan Xi knelt down on the carpet with difficulty and ate some fruit from the fruit bowl on the coffee table. "That's the old man of the Lan family, the one who would kill his own son."
At night, Lan Ting'an was also summoned back to the compound and was also whipped in the ancestral hall. Lan Xiangfu stood in front of the altar, wiping his lover's tablet carefully with a handkerchief.
In the quiet ancestral hall, the sound of the whip was particularly harsh. Lan Ting'an was not as patient as Lan Xi, and he fainted 10 minutes into the flogging.
The butler felt helpless towards this cowardly and incompetent young master, feeling that he simply couldn't control his temper and hold back his anger: "Sir? How about..."
"Go on!" Lan Xiangfu looked at the tablet and said mercilessly.
The executioner looked at Lan Xiangfu, raised his whip and hit the unconscious Lan Ting'an.
A week later, the Lan Group issued a new announcement, revoking Lan Ting'an's position as chairman of the Group and retaining his status as a common shareholder on the board of directors.
When Zhong Hua saw this, he finally understood what Lan Xi meant by doing all this.
Zhong Mingsheng sneered beside him: "Lan Xi used this trick well, she even took down her own father!"
"What do you know!" Zhong Hua slapped her grandson on the back of the head again. She looked at the announcement on the computer with a serious face:
"It's Lan Ting'an's own fault. First of all, he shouldn't have brought the mistress with him, and secondly, he shouldn't have thrown the hairpin. Lan Xi didn't give him a chance, but if he had a little common sense, he would have known not to do that!"
Zhong Mingsheng was unconvinced. He said with a sullen face, "What kind of person is his father? Doesn't she know? She knew she would be fooled, but she still did this! If she didn't do it on purpose, what else could she do?"
"There are dirty things going on between families. All your weaknesses will become opportunities for others to attack you. If you have the ability, you should not have any weaknesses at all. If you have the ability, you can avoid all the open and hidden attacks!"
Zhong Hua knew that his grandson was not convinced. The Zhong family spoiled him terribly, so naturally they didn't let him suffer too much. Whatever he disliked was always written on his face.
