"Let's focus on training our elites for now! Give them a break for a while. Then, send some people to find out where Ah Ji and Ah Mao are. At least... give me a definite answer about whether they're alive or dead, right?"
He/She should have stopped this from the very beginning! She was too soft-hearted back then! Otherwise, Yan Xiluo wouldn't have survived until now!
Yan Xiluo is really a huge problem now!
Ha! His/her child has to die? Their children are all alive and well? Is that fair? Doesn't your Yan family just prefer daughters?
Then he/she will definitely kill their daughter! As for those stupid sons, they're easy to deal with. We'll just grab them and burn them alive, hahaha! And we'll make them watch helplessly as their children are burned to death by him/her all at once!
He/She will make them suffer worse than death! They will never have an easy time! They will definitely be punished!
Li Shaochuan, Lan Jingyan, you insisted on getting involved, so don't blame him/her for being ruthless!
He/She shed tears as he/she thought about it, and then went to get a cigar to smoke.

Lan Family Villa
"Grandma Lan, this is the last time you'll get an injection. It might hurt a little, just like before, but it'll be over soon. Can you bear with it? I'll give you that kind of candy from last time later, okay?"
Yan Xiluo sat by Deng Ling's bedside, gently and patiently coaxing her. Even though she had been given so many acupuncture treatments, she knew that Deng Ling was still afraid of pain and needed to prepare her mentally beforehand.
"Okay, with my darling Luo Luo here, Grandma isn't afraid of pain at all! The candy you always give Grandma is so delicious! Can you give Grandma some more?"
Seeing how considerate Yan Xiluo always was to her, she felt that Lan Jingyan had really found a treasure! And every time she coaxed her like a child, she would give her candy after the injection because she was afraid that she would be in pain.
She said that eating the sweet candy made the pain go away. And she always thought the candy was especially delicious, with many flavors and a soft, chewy texture.
"Pfft... So Grandma likes that kind of candy? I'll make you some more when I have time. But these are handmade, so they don't keep for long, and there are no additives in them."
Yan Xiluo was amused by Deng Ling. She realized that Deng Ling really liked the candy she gave her. Deng Ling had never asked her for more candy before, and she thought that Deng Ling didn't like it.
So I only made a small batch each time, and it was all made with fresh fruit juice.
"Oh, I see. No wonder Luo Luo only brings a little each time, enough for two or three days. My darling Luo Luo is so thoughtful, she actually makes it for Grandma herself! A Yan wouldn't do that. It seems granddaughters are better. This grandson... has only one advantage, the only advantage is that he found me such an excellent granddaughter-in-law, hahahahaha!"
Deng Ling was somewhat surprised to hear this. These candies were actually made by Yan Xiluo with great care every time.
Thinking of this, she thought of her grandson, who had never laid a hand on her before!
Indeed, my granddaughter-in-law is the best! Deng Ling held Yan Xiluo's hand with satisfaction.
"Hehe, Grandma, if you say that, Ayan might be sad!"
Yan Xiluo spoke in a lighthearted tone, laughing and chatting with Deng Ling.
"He's not that fragile! He should be happy about what Grandma just said. After all, when I praised you, I was also indirectly praising his good taste, wasn't I?"
Deng Ling chatted and laughed with Yan Xiluo, and didn't forget to glance at her grandson to see his reaction.
"Yes, yes, yes! Grandma is right. When you praise Luo Luo like that, it's the same as praising me!"
Receiving a look from Deng Ling, which clearly meant he wasn't allowed to resist, he naturally agreed immediately. Since Deng Ling was finally feeling better, he definitely wanted to keep her in a good mood.
"Grandma and your Grandpa Yan have recovered from their illnesses. After a few more days of recuperation, it will be time to talk to the Yan family about your engagement ceremony and Luo Luo's family reunion. The Yan family will officially announce her identity to the media."
Deng Ling's eyes were filled with hope; she could dance properly again! And she could move around freely again.
Finally, we can see Lan Jingyan and Yan Xiluo get engaged!
"I think next month's Mid-Autumn Festival would be great. It's a time for family reunions, suitable for getting to know relatives, and also a good day for an engagement. Zhiguo and I, or perhaps both our families, could get together for a meal and discuss this together. Or, next month's Luoluo's birthday would also be nice! That would be a triple celebration!"
Lan Weikun looked at the calendar and thought that the best day next month would be the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.
Later, he saw that the next few days were Yan Xiluo's birthday, and choosing that day might be even better!
"But... isn't getting engaged too early? Luo Luo will be going to school in September. Won't this make the news have any impact on her at school?"
Deng Ling suddenly thought of this problem: what if those jealous people do something to harm Yan Xiluo? Or what if they keep trying to curry favor with Yan Xiluo? Wouldn't she be unable to concentrate on her studies?
Although she was also anxious for the two of them to get engaged, so that she wouldn't have to worry about such a good granddaughter-in-law running away, she still had to think about Yan Xiluo's sake after weighing the pros and cons!
“Grandpa, Grandma… I’ve actually already earned my doctorate… but I haven’t told my family about it yet, and Ayan doesn’t know either.”
Yan Xiluo was exceptionally talented from a young age, learning everything very quickly. Sometimes she could even learn on her own without any guidance. When she was young, she often skipped grades because of her strong learning ability, which made those subjects too easy for her.
At the time, Lin Zhengzong and Yang Mei both thought that their ancestral graves had been blessed with good fortune... that such a young genius had emerged!
Looking back now, it turns out that the smoke coming from those two families wasn't coming from them, but from the Yan and Li families...
"I see? But it's not surprising. Luo Luo is exceptionally talented and a big shot in every industry. It's not surprising that she got her doctorate at eighteen!"
While not entirely unsurprised, Deng Ling was still somewhat taken aback, as she had always assumed Yan Xiluo might still be in school.
But thinking about it again, with Yan Xiluo's abilities, it's quite normal that she has already obtained a doctoral degree.
"Although very few people can get a doctorate at the age of eighteen, you can count them on your fingers. But I think it's only natural for Luo Luo, which is the same as A Yan's. A Yan also got her doctorate at the age of eighteen."
Lan Weikun was absolutely smitten with this granddaughter-in-law. Yan Yinran had never given him this feeling before. He liked people not just because they were capable and talented, but most importantly because of their character and values.
He had heard plenty of stories about Yan Yinran's past misdeeds. Even if Yan Yinran was indeed the daughter of the Yan family, their two families might not necessarily become in-laws.
