Zhu Lingling glanced at him.
She! She disdains to explain to him that no one knows Lan Xi’s goodness!
"Leave quickly after eating, don't stay too long!" Zhu Lingling glanced at him and put away the food on the table!
Cheng Chiyan packed up and got into the elevator only to remember that he hadn't done anything yet!
Just as I was about to go back, my phone vibrated:
[I've arranged for your grandma to be transferred to this hospital. Here's the phone number!]
It was a message from Lan Xi.
Cheng Chiyan stood in the lobby on the first floor, feeling confused about Lan Xi. She was a cold-hearted woman, but she was very thoughtful in her work!
"Miss, Madam called and said the company has made arrangements for you to sit in on the project meeting tomorrow!"
Seeing Lan Xi slumped on the lazy sofa, Zhu Lingling took a blanket and covered her with it.
"Okay! Got it!" Lan Xi closed her eyes and agreed in a low voice.
"Mr. has been running to the old man's place these past two days! The old man hasn't been seen yet!" Zhu Lingling reported the developments at the old house.
"Madam seems to have found another one these days! This time the boy is very young!" Zhu Lingling looked at the information on the tablet and felt a little embarrassed to speak.
Lan Xi smiled with her eyes closed, then opened her eyes and reached out to pick up the milk: "How young is that? It can't be that old that is illegal!"
"Not really, but it's smaller than you, Miss!" Zhu Lingling handed over the tablet.
Lan Xi took it, flipped it over, and said with a smile, "This couple seems to be having a lot of fun!"
Her eyes rested on the man's school, and Lan Xi suddenly said, "Isn't this Cheng Chiyan's school?"
Zhu Lingling nodded, she noticed it too!
Lan Xi rubbed her nose and handed the tablet back:
"After all, he's his own son. The old man will meet him sooner or later. But if Lan Ting'an thinks he can get any explanation from the old man, he's too naive!"
…
"Dad, how could you do this to me?" Lan Ting'an came to see the old man for three consecutive days before he saw him.
The old man sat on the mat, closed his eyes and fiddled with the beads in his hand, without saying a word.
"I have worked hard in the company for so many years, even if I have no merits! Yes! I know I can't compare to you, with your foresight and strategy! I can be among the top echelons in this huge Hai City, but I also let the Lan family hold this high position for ten years!"
Lan Ting sat opposite the old man, his face full of grievance.
The old man still didn't say anything and sat there calmly.
Lan Ting'an looked at the old man like this and couldn't help but keep telling his grievances:
"They say it's easy to conquer an empire but hard to keep it. The Lan family is having a hard time right now, with so many families eyeing us covetously. If we take a wrong turn, we'll be shattered to pieces!"
"Back then you said you wanted to form an alliance with the Li family, saying that your family's status was unstable and that marriage was the only way out. I followed your advice and went for the alliance."
"This caused Lan Qi's mother to get pregnant before marriage and earn the disdain of others. She worked so hard to raise our son alone. Now you say that the shares should be given to Lan Xi. Is this fair?"
Lan Ting'an felt very sad when he thought of his first love, and his voice was even choked with sobs.
Bang!
A stack of photos was thrown in front of Lan Ting'an, and the old man spoke: "Take a look at these first!"
The butler behind him walked forward and placed a tablet in front of Lan Ting'an, and then the picture started playing.
"Mr. Lan, I beg you, please give Ting'an back to me, okay? He is my son's father! How can we live without him?"
The woman knelt in front of Mr. Lan, crying bitterly.
Judging from the picture, this was more than 20 years ago, when Lan Qi was not yet born and Lan Qi's mother came to meet Grandpa Lan.
Seeing that Mr. Lan didn't react, the woman gritted her teeth and pressed the dagger to her belly: "If Mr. Lan doesn't agree, then there's no point in giving birth to this child!"
Mr. Lan still didn't react and sat calmly at the table reviewing documents.
The woman was stunned when she saw this scene and was in a dilemma.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time, until Mr. Lan closed the folder and looked up at her: "How much?"
"What?" The woman was dumbfounded, and then a flash of joy flashed across her eyes.
"The engagement between the Lan and Li families cannot be cancelled. You can leave Ting'an for any amount of money!" The old man's voice was very calm.
Anger flashed across the woman's face: "The relationship between Ting'an and I cannot be measured by money!"
The old man seemed to glance at him, and his expressionless face seemed to reveal a mocking tone: "Two million!"
"Mr. Lan!" The woman wanted to say something.
"Five million!" The old man added lightly!
The woman began to hesitate. Five million was very valuable twenty years ago!
The old man knew the woman was moved by her expression. "You have to know that if this child doesn't exist, you won't have any leverage!"
"Five million is five million!" The woman thought about it and agreed without hesitation.
