In recent years, Yan Mingxuan has been managing the Yan Group alone, while Yan Youting only occasionally attends important occasions.
"That makes sense. He should be given a break to improve his interpersonal relationships. But someone needs to manage the company too!"
Yan Youting glanced around and his gaze landed on Yan Yuze.
"Dad, don't look at me! I have to take care of Ningning until her leg is fully healed. Besides, I have a ton of cases piled up!"
Besides, he has no idea how to manage a company! He'll lose a fortune...
"Dad, don't even think about Second Brother, he's busy filming TV dramas!"
Yan Xiluo immediately ruled out Yan Chenyu, knowing that Yan Chenyu's ambitions lay elsewhere.
"It seems like only Fifth Brother is relatively free, while Fourth Brother is very busy with work and has to stick to his post every day!"
Yan Yinran's eyes darted around, and a brilliant idea struck her.
After all, Yan Yixing was just a foodie who loved eating, drinking, and having fun; among his older brothers, he was the most idle. Yan Yixing did have a good head for business, but he had absolutely no interest in managing a company.
"In comparison, the fifth brother is indeed more relaxed. For the sake of your eldest brother's marriage, we can only ask the fifth brother to come back and manage the company for a while."
Li Shuwen agreed with their analysis. In her eyes, only Yan Yixing had no proper job, so it was a good opportunity to bring her back and get her back on track.
"You know what, Yixing is actually quite natural at business, he just loved playing more than his brothers since he was little. Look at the company documents we gave him a few years ago, he did just as well as Mingxuan."
Yan Youting had always thought that Yan Yixing was a good prospect for business, but every time he talked to him, Yan Yixing would find another topic to dodge the question.
"Alright, let's eat first. We can talk about this later, or the food will get cold."
Li Shuwen felt that it was best not to discuss other things while eating, and to just focus on eating.
Everyone quickly started eating.
"Ningning, drink more of this soup. It's good for your legs. The recipe was given to me by Luoluo. I made it especially for you."
Jiang Xuening sat next to Li Shuwen, and Li Shuwen specially placed Jiang Xuening's stewed soup next to them.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I really like what you make. I'll drink more."
Jiang Xuening is very well-behaved and has a gentle voice. It feels really warm to be pampered like this.
"Ayan, Yueyue, Jiu'an, please eat whatever you want, don't be shy. I'm far away from you, so I won't serve you any food."
She loved all the younger generations equally.
"good."
"Uh-huh."
After dinner, the sunset and the evening glow merged together, and the pink sky turned into a rich, deep pink, making it even more beautiful and sweet.
The boys all went to the living room to chat with Yan Youting, play cards, and play chess.
The girls were all taking pictures with Li Shuwen in the backyard. The scenery was so captivating that every girl couldn't help but take a few more photos.
Time passed little by little.

That evening, Yan Yinran came to Yan Xiluo's room carrying a gift box.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Come in!"
Yan Xiluo had just finished showering and was wearing her home clothes.
"Sister, this is a gift I prepared for you. I should have given it to you a long time ago, but I was petty and immature before, which is why it took so long. It's not an expensive gift, but I participated in making it myself. This lamp is based on the Aurora Glass Lamp that was very popular a couple of years ago. I hope you will like it!"
Inside is a crystal table lamp. It looks ordinary, but the materials are actually very expensive. They are all rare crystals in various colors. The typhoon ring is made of deep-sea pearls. The lamp wick inside is also adjustable in brightness, and it can emit both yellow and white light.
The main body is made of white crystal, with crystal pendants of other colors placed around the perimeter of the lamp.
When the light is turned on to its maximum, the entire lamp will reflect a variety of colors, and by adjusting the brightness, you can even see colors that resemble the aurora borealis.
Yan Xiluo gently opened the gift box and saw the aurora glass lamp that Yan Yinran had prepared for her. She could tell at a glance that the crystals inside were all-natural and of very high quality.
The deep-sea pearls are all perfectly round and flawless. Putting aside the price of a finished product, the raw materials alone must have cost at least several million.
However, what Yan Yinran didn't know was that this desk lamp was designed by Yan Xiluo herself, and the finished product was a hundred times better than the one Yan Yinran had. Yan Xiluo certainly wouldn't tell her that and spoil her mood.
On the contrary, she felt that she had put a lot of effort into it and really liked the somewhat immature desk lamp in her hand.
The Aurora Glass Lamp she created was auctioned off for an astronomical price, and it was the only one of its kind.
It's impossible to make an exact replica of the Aurora Glass Lamp anymore. After all, crystal is a natural material, and it's impossible for every piece to be exactly the same, whether in terms of crystal structure or quality.
At the time, all she knew was that it had been auctioned off to a wealthy family for a high price. As for who it was from, she still doesn't know, because she wasn't present, and the auction was also subject to a confidentiality agreement.
"Thank you, Ranran, I really like this gift!"
Yan Xiluo smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm glad my sister likes it. This can't compare to the real thing. I heard that the real thing was auctioned for 500 million! I only saw a picture of it on the auction list and copied it from there."
This was the first time Yan Xiluo had called her Ranran so affectionately, and Yan Yinran was very happy. She knew that Yan Xiluo had truly accepted her.
Surprisingly, Yan Xiluo didn't look down on the gift she gave her. She felt that what she made was worlds apart from the real thing... because the real thing had three rare gemstones from extinct mines, and that type of gemstone was simply impossible to buy! They were basically all collected at high prices.
"I like everything you gave me, but the gifts are too expensive and made you spend too much money."
She knew that Yan Yinran had saved a lot of money, but she hadn't earned any yet, so she felt that she shouldn't let her spend money next time.
"It's no trouble at all, sister. Everything I enjoy now, including what I had before, belongs to you. These things should have been yours to begin with. Besides, any one of the things you gave me before is more valuable than anything I gave you..."
The better Yan Xiluo and her family treated her, the more she felt that she had made mistakes before and that her thinking was very problematic.
She knew that Ahui had a problem, and she had rarely contacted her during this period.
"Alright, this isn't something you or I can control; it's fate. It's not about the price, it's about the thought behind it. From now on, I'll keep the lamp you gave me on my bedside table."
Yan Xiluo carefully took out the lamp and placed it on the bedside table near the balcony, then gently plugged it in.
