Zhuo Lan walked over slowly, the wet wind blowing a tousled strand of hair on her forehead.

Walked up to Lan Jingzhong and said quietly, "Jingzhong...... Actually, I want to open it too, and I can't blame you for it. If you want to blame it, blame me for not being angry. ”

"However, I can accept this child, but I definitely can't accept you to take her into the Lan family. This is resolutely non-negotiable. She can give her whatever she wants, but she is not allowed to exist......" Zhuo Lan hesitated, her voice soft but firm and decisive.

The "she" she said was a woman who Lan Jingzhong was suddenly exposed outside this time, Qi Meiyun, a 29-year-old bank clerk.

From the initial reaction of a strong desire to die and insist on divorce, to the current calm mind and even the initiative to express "understanding", Lan Ruo's mother Zhuo Lan's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn.

In fact, the invisible change of Zhuolan's attitude is inevitable. In Hong Kong's high society, it is not uncommon for successful men to raise one or several women outside, especially for wealthy people like Lan Jingzhong, and it is common for red flags to fall at home and fluttering colorful flags outside.

Since these days, friends have also persuaded her family to explain, and Zhuo Lan has slowly accepted this reality that makes her helpless. Looking back now, Lan Jingzhong is a very good and responsible man, at least there was no deviant behavior before this - and the appearance of this woman and this illegitimate child is also based on the premise that Zhuo Lan has not been able to give birth to the heir of the Lan family for a long time.

Therefore, Zhuo Lan's attitude has softened since yesterday, since the matter has come out, if she continues to make trouble, she can only let the family disintegrate, which will make that woman cheaper. I'm afraid the woman would have liked that.

But although Zhuo Lan took the initiative to extinguish the war, Lan Jingzhong really had a knot in her heart that could not be solved.

"Zhuolan...... I don't want to talk about this right now, can I be quiet? Lan Jingzhong turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Lan, sighed, and stared at the lights in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly.

Zhuo Lan's expression froze, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet hatefully, glanced at Lan Jingzhong in shame, and turned around angrily and hurried away. She didn't expect that a large number of her adults would no longer pursue the matter, but Lan Jingzhong, the "culprit", took it up, and her attitude became not embarrassing, embarrassing, or lukewarm.

What do you mean? You found a woman outside, and you gave birth to a child, and the cow got up? It's really a little face to open a dyeing workshop, none of the men in this world are good things, they are all eating in the bowl and looking at the pot...... Zhuo Lan's shame, Lan Jingzhong actually saw it in his eyes, but his mood at this moment was very complicated and messy, and he didn't want to say a word.

No one knows that he doesn't have a deep relationship with this Qi Meiyun, and it's not like the outside world legend that he has been hiding in the golden house outside for several years. He had known Qi Meiyun for two years, and it was purely accidental that he had a relationship with this woman.

It was once when he got drunk after socializing, he called Qi Meiyun by accident, and then the two of them did a good thing at Qi Meiyun's house. Since then, Lan Jingzhong felt a little sorry for Zhuolan, so he didn't contact Qi Meiyun much, but later Qi Meiyun took the initiative to find him again, and the two had a relationship three or two times.

Lan Jingzhong faintly felt that the purpose of this woman's relationship with him was not so simple, but just when he made up his mind to give Qi Meiyun a little money and was ready to break up with her completely, Qi Meiyun said that he was pregnant and insisted on giving birth to this child.

And so there was this child. Originally, Lan Jingzhong didn't want to make this matter public, and was going to quietly give Qi Meiyun a sum of money to let her mother and son leave Hong Kong to live in the United States, but there was an accident - an entertainment tabloid in Hong Kong took the lead in poking out the news, and it immediately made a fuss in Hong Kong, a place with a big palm, and became a hot topic of public opinion discussion for a while.

With the current power of the Lan family and Lan Jingzhong's identity, his influence is no less than that of some first-line entertainment stars, so the scandal about him spreads quickly.

In this way, it will be fried. Especially in the Lan family, Lan Jingzhong's wife Zhuo Lan wanted to die or live, and Lan Jingzhong's sister's family also tossed up, doing three things and two things, and finally chased the old man Lan Tiancheng into the hospital in anger.

Zhuo Lan's anger lies in her husband's betrayal, and Lan Xingyue's husband and wife are making trouble because Lan Jingzhong suddenly has an illegitimate child, and the Lan family has an heir, how can the family property still be the turn of the Huang family?

Therefore, Lan Xingyue desperately "made trouble" at home, saying that she resolutely refused to recognize the identity of this child, and even sent people around to inquire about the whereabouts of Qi Meiyun's mother and son, fortunately, Lan Jingzhong knew in advance and "collected" Qi Meiyun's mother and son early, otherwise, the crazy Lan Xingyue's family didn't know what would happen.

For Lan Jingzhong, having a son unexpectedly is naturally extremely happy. However, he felt in his heart that this son came suddenly, and Qi Meiyun's attitude as a woman made him a little uncomfortable - she not only wanted money, but also seemed to have a strong intention to join the Lan family.

This woman is very ambitious. This is what Lan Jingzhong is most annoyed by in recent times.

He also thought about giving Qi Meiyun a sum of money to let her go abroad, and then the child left behind the Lan family, and there was no relationship from now on, but where would Qi Meiyun be willing to do it?

In the end, Lan Tiancheng also meant this, but Lan Jingzhong talked to Qi Meiyun many times but didn't negotiate properly, anyway, Qi Meiyun's attitude was very resolute, she resolutely would not give up her son - although she didn't say that she wanted a name, but since she didn't give up her son, it was equivalent to asking for an identity from the Lan family.

Lan Jingzhong stood in the cold wind and pondered for a long time, slowly combing his messy mind. He is now quite dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, these doubts and depression in his heart are not enough for outsiders, no one comes to discuss, he himself thinks about it and is upset, and he can't make up his mind.

Ay...... Lan Jingzhong sighed and slowly turned around, but unexpectedly found that Lan Tiancheng was standing behind him with his hands on his chest with awe-inspiring eyes, and it seemed that he had been standing like this for a while.

"Father, you are not in good health, you just came out of the hospital, why did you come out, hurry back to your room to rest, I will accompany you back to your room." Lan Jingzhong smiled reluctantly, and reached over to help Lan Tiancheng.

Lan Tiancheng shook his hand with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "I haven't reached the point where I can't help but be weak. Jingzhong, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this? You're fifty years old, why don't you have any idea? Well? ”

"Our house is already messy enough, and you make such a fuss again, it's just adding fuel to the fire."

Lan Jingzhong hesitated, and laughed quietly, "Father, don't worry about this, I will solve my problem." ”

"You solve the fart." Lan Tiancheng was annoyed and burst into a foul mouth, "How do you solve it?" It's been so long that you can't even make up your mind! If it weren't for me, if it weren't for me to live in the Lan family, it would have been chaotic a long time ago......"

"Let me ask you, where is that woman now? Where is the child? Tell me, and if you can't handle it, I'll teach you how. ”

Lan Tiancheng's voice was very gloomy.

Lan Jingzhong was taken aback. He knew his father Lan Tiancheng's ruthless methods, and with his huge energy in Hong Kong, he could completely make Qi Meiyun's mother and daughter disappear in Hong Kong, thus eliminating the huge hidden danger of civil strife in the Lan family this time.

Of course, Lan Tiancheng still wants to stay with this child. In any case, this is the descendant of the Lan family, even if he is an illegitimate child, it is better than letting the Lan family's great family change his surname to Huang in the future.

"She ......" Lan Tiancheng didn't say anything about it, Lan Tiancheng glared at his son, who had been honest all his life, and said in his heart, you can be honest and honest, be honest all your life, but in the end, you got a woman outside, causing so much trouble.

"Jingzhong, our family can't be in chaos now. The top priority, you have to settle this woman, make her demand, how much money does she want to give up? If you tell her, just say that I said it, as long as she is willing to give up the child, I will give her as much as she wants. Of course, it can't be overdone. She doesn't get a penny for an inch, and she doesn't get a penny......"

"Hmph, if you want to blackmail our Lan family, she can try it."

Lan Tiancheng's voice was a little gloomy.

Lan Jingzhong sighed lightly and nodded, "Well, father, I will deal with it as soon as possible." It's just that Xingyue ...... over there."

Lan Tiancheng waved his hand in annoyance, "She's gone too far lately...... While I'm still alive, you two brothers and sisters are fighting over the family property...... If I'm going to die, is there still a restraint in cannibalism? ”

"You don't have to worry about her, she's there, I'll talk to her. If it can't be discussed, then there is only one way......" Lan Tiancheng said this, and then he was silent, and suddenly turned around and strode away.

Lan Jingzhong looked at his old father's slightly clumsy tall back, and his heart trembled. He knew in his heart that Lan Tiancheng would definitely make a move, and if he couldn't handle Qi Meiyun's affairs well, the old man would definitely intervene.

For the sake of the stability and non-division of the Lan family, he will take action, even if the means are excessive.

………… That side.

By the time Lan Ruo was done, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. It's been this time, and it's obviously not suitable to go to the Lan family again, so I had to stay in a hotel. Of course, she didn't live in a hotel, Zhou Nan had already stayed in a hotel adjacent to the Guanhao Group Building.

Moreover, Zhang Ying, who was in charge of arranging rooms for the two, didn't know whether it was accidental or intentional, so he only arranged a suite for the two.

The people of Feiteng International took Lan Ruo to the hotel, and when they entered the room, Lan Ruo found that she and Zhou Nan were in the same room, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

She and Zhou Nan have long been indistinguishable from each other, but because they are not married yet, they still have to take care of their face outside. Zhang Ying's arrangement is obviously ...... Lan Ruo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thought of this.

But there was nothing she could do at the moment. Zhou Nan had already fallen asleep, and she couldn't change rooms temporarily. So he hurriedly changed his clothes and took a shower, tiptoed to bed, and curled up beside Zhou Nan, but found that Zhou Nan was looking at him with his eyes open with a smile, and couldn't help blushing and saying angrily, "You bad guy, you were pretending to be asleep just now!" ”

Zhou Nan smiled, and reached over to grab Lan Ruojiao's silky and tender body, "You come back to change clothes and take a bath, walking around, if I don't wake up, then I will really become a pig." ”

Lan Ruo noticed Zhou Nan's strange hand, and couldn't help but say angrily, "I'm so tired today, don't make trouble, hurry up and rest, I want to rush back to Lan's house early tomorrow morning...... Husband, I really can't rest assured. ”

Seeing Lan Ruo talking about business, Zhou Nan sighed, his face was straight, he sat up and said with a smile, "Xiao Ruo, when you are busy at night, I will briefly learn about the situation of the Lan family through the people of Feiteng International......

"It is said that your father is anxious now, not only your aunt's family is chasing after her, but the woman named Qi Meiyun is also entangled with her...... It seems that he wants your Lan family to give him a name. Zhou Nan said softly.

Lan Ruoqiao's face was cold, and she sneered, "She's dreaming." How can it be? Even if my dad agrees, my grandfather won't agree, I won't agree, I definitely won't! ”

"Xiao Ruo, the question now is not who agrees and who opposes. The problem now is that when that woman has this child, she stands on reason, the Lan family can't come hard, if you come hard, it will make a big fuss, and it will be bad for the reputation of your Lan family......"

"Besides, I estimate that if there is a big trouble in the end, public opinion will definitely be on the side of that woman, and the final result may be that your father is under pressure from public opinion and bows to that woman......"

Lan Ruo listened quietly, and suddenly sat up wrapped in the quilt and said softly, "Husband, do you mean that this woman has bad intentions from the beginning?" ”

Although Zhou Nan didn't say it explicitly, that's what he said in his words. Lan Ruo was so smart, how could he not hear it.

Zhou Nan smiled, "I'm just hearsay, plus my own guess." ”

"Xiao Ruo, although I haven't been in contact with your father for a long time, I intuitively feel that your father is a person with a sense of family responsibility, and his surname is more ...... is relatively honest, and can even be said to be a little weak, otherwise your aunt's family would not be so strong in the Lan family. ”

As soon as Zhou Nan said this, Lan Ruo sighed softly and nodded, "Well, that's the case, Daddy is a little weak and indecisive, so my aunt's family bullied him, and my grandfather can't be too partial, his daughter and son are his own flesh and blood......"

"With your father's surname and character, it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to find a second wife outside, and he may not be able to control it for a while, but if he makes up his mind to divorce your mother, and then marry another young woman and have a son, I think it may not be a big surname."

"The biggest possibility is that this woman is more proactive...... The purpose is naturally for the sake of your Lan family's family business. Zhou Nan also sighed, "Xiao Ruo, I'm afraid to accompany you back tomorrow, but I suggest you be tougher and stop worrying about this and that...... Especially for your aunt's family, I always feel that the current situation of the Lan family is the result of your own failure to grasp it. ”

"Although they are all flesh and blood, but a daughter is a daughter, and your aunt has already married outside, then, in the Lan family, she can't dominate. Besides, the current Lan family not only has your grandfather, but also your father, and your father is in the prime of life, so no matter how you say it, the Lan family can't make her turn to call the shots. ”

"You ......" Zhou Nan said this, and he smiled and said no more.

Lan Ruo sighed faintly, although there was no interface, she knew in her heart that what Zhou Nan said made some sense.

The reason why Aunt Lan Xingyue's family is so arrogant is now in the Lan family, and the weakness of Lan Jingzhong and his wife is an important factor. In a sense, it can be said that Lan Xingyue is spoiled.

Now Lan Xingyue's family of three occupies important positions in the Lan family and controls part of the industry of the Lan family. Lan Xingyue holds 10% of the equity of Lan's enterprise, if it were not for Lan Tiancheng's "deterrence", I am afraid that after these years of operation, Lan Xingyue's husband Huang Weixiong and son Huang Junjie have become shareholders of Lan's enterprise and entered the board of directors.

80% of the shares of Lan's enterprise are controlled by the Lan family, 50% under the name of Lan Tiancheng, 20% under the name of Lan Jingzhong, and 10% under the name of Lan Xingyue. The remaining 20% is held by Guanhao Group. Originally, there was still a shareholder, but the Hong Kong company has already transferred its equity to Guanhao Group, namely Feiteng International.

In Zhou Nan's plan, if Lan wants to re-enter the situation where the Lan family controls the Lan family's enterprise, the 20% stake held by Guanhao Group alone is far from enough. Therefore, she must infiltrate it through various ways, and slowly acquire the assets of Lan's enterprise through capital operation to increase her equity share.

And in this way, it is necessary to get the secret support of the old man Lan Tiancheng.

Although Zhou Nan has not had much contact with Lan Tiancheng, he vaguely feels that this generation of business tycoons, who has been dominant in Hong Kong for decades, has his own plans for the future of Lan's enterprise. Judging from the current situation, there is no successor to the Lan family, and the most suitable and reassuring successor is still Lan Ruo.

At the beginning, Lan Ruo took the initiative to announce that he would give up the inheritance of Lan's enterprise, but Lan Tiancheng did not object, and uncharacteristically expressed his support, which made Zhou Nan feel a little strange. Thinking about it later, there are only two reasons for this - first, Lan Tiancheng is not at ease with himself, if he is unreliable, the Lan family's family business will be inherited by Lan Ruo, and in the end it will be equivalent to falling into the hands of his own Zhou family, so it is better to hand it over to his daughter Lan Xingyue.

Second, Lan Tiancheng has other deep-seated plans and plans, and this period of time may be a transitional period for him to investigate and deal with it calmly. Zhou Nan didn't believe that a figure like Lan Tiancheng would have no plans in the face of the huge business he had created.

It must be said that Zhou Nan's judgment is very accurate. The scheming Lan Tiancheng has other arrangements. It's just that he feels that his body is still strong and can still control the situation of the Lan family, so he has no plans to disclose his plans for the time being.

What Lan Tiancheng thinks about is not only the question of who to hand over the Lan family's family business to and who to pass it on, but also how to further expand and strengthen the Lan family's enterprise. He couldn't help but want the Lan Enterprise Kingdom that he had created to fall into ruin soon after his death.
