"Chairman."
"Speak."
"The Fang family sent an invitation to invite you to Mr. Fang's birthday banquet tomorrow evening."
Wen Zhiyan's hand, which was signing, paused. "Fang Miaomiao's adoptive parents?"
"Yes." Xin Xuanlai nodded and added, "It is said that Wen Jialan will also be there."
"Wen Wenzhan?" Wen Zhiyan thought of the gossip he had seen not long ago, which said that Miaomiao had seduced Wen Wenzhan.
"Chairman, you might not know, but Young Master Wenzhan and Fang Jialan Fang Yan are dating."
Wen Zhiyan signed his name on the document.
The Fang family, interesting.
"Then, Chairman, should we decline or something?"
"What about Madam?"
"No news has been received. Since Fang Yan went back to the Fang family, Madam has rarely attended banquets hosted by the Fang family." Xin Xuanlai guessed, "So, Madam will likely not attend this time either."
Wen Zhiyan looked up at the clear blue sky outside, and his tone changed: "Tell the Fang family that I will attend the banquet."
"Okay, Chairman." Xin Xuanlai continued to report, "The matter with the driver has nothing to do with the Old Madam."
According to his investigation, it was all a coincidence. When the Old Madam was shopping with Miss Xie, a naughty child ran out and accidentally bumped into Miss Xie.
To ensure Miss Xie's comfort, the Old Madam quickly called the driver.
Coincidentally, the number she dialed was the driver who was supposed to pick up Madam.
All these things indicated that it was just a coincidence.
Wen Zhiyan leaned back in his chair, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.
Hearing the regular knocking sound from the phone, Xin Xuanlai knew that the Chairman was doubting the possibility of this matter.
Let alone the Chairman, even he himself found it far-fetched, but the investigated situation all pointed to this, and he was very troubled.
"What is Xie Wanqing's current situation?"
"Her ankle was sprained. After getting medicine at the hospital, she returned to the Xie family villa to recuperate. The Old Madam has also been staying quietly at the Ran family during this time."
"Alright, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Zhiyan rubbed his temples. He felt that something was being overlooked, but he couldn't recall what it was for a moment.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Fang Miaomiao entered with a glass of hot milk. "Are you busy? Am I disturbing you?"
"No, is there something you need?"
"Well... I might not be home for dinner tomorrow night, so I wanted to tell you in advance."
"May I be so bold as to ask what it is?" Wen Zhiyan said quickly, afraid of pushing her too hard, "You don't have to say if you don't want to."
"It's nothing, why can't I say it? I, uh, the Fang family, it's Fang's father's birthday, and he asked me to go."
"I won't be home that day either."
Hearing this, Fang Miaomiao subconsciously blurted out, "You won't be home? What about the child?"
"This is also something I'm a bit troubled by." Wen Zhiyan rubbed his head. "I originally hoped you could help look after him at home, but since you have plans, you should go ahead and handle your business. As for An'an,"
Fang Miaomiao looked at him.
"I'll check the time, and either I'll have to leave An'an at home alone, or An'an will come with me."
"Isn't there a nanny at home?"
"You know, I've always disliked outsiders in my home. The nanny leaves after finishing her tasks, so there's no one to look after him."
"Then what about Xin Xuanlai?"
"He's sick and just called me to ask for leave."
"Oh, this."
Are all coincidences so precise?
Is this a trick to fool her?
However, Wen Zhiyan's eyes showed no trace of guilt.
It was as if she were judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
"Then what should we do?" Fang Miaomiao thought of the little one curled up at the door last night, looking so pitiful, and her heart softened for a moment.
"It's alright, I'll take him with me." Wen Zhiyan said indifferently, "An'an is very well-behaved and won't cause trouble."
It wasn't that Fang Miaomiao was overthinking.
How could someone with limited mobility manage taking care of a child?
"How about I take An'an with me when I go out for business?" Fang Miaomiao tentatively asked.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"No, An'an is quite well-behaved, and he's very smart. Ordinary matters can't trouble him."
Whether it was an illusion or not, Fang Miaomiao heard a sense of product promotion.
"Yes, An'an is very smart, so don't worry about him staying with me. Rest assured, I will bring him back safely tonight."
"I believe you."
"Okay, then you go ahead and busy yourself. I won't disturb you anymore."
After she left the study, she really wanted to slap herself.
What was she doing? She only came to inform him that she wouldn't be home for dinner tomorrow night, but it ended up with her taking Wen Yan'an with her?
It was truly beauty that could lead people astray.
Fang Miaomiao saw Wen Yan'an in the living room, pretending to read a book but with his eyes not on it. "Little friend An'an, what are you doing?"
"Reading."
Fang Miaomiao walked over and looked at the book in his hand with a half-smile. "Reading?"
Wen Yan'an looked down, his earlobes turning red. "I..."
Fang Miaomiao didn't expose him. "Good boy, keep reading. I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
Now, Wen Yan'an was also a lifesaver for her.
If she brought Wen Yan'an, perhaps those monsters and ghosts at the banquet wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her.
Thinking this, Fang Miaomiao felt her mood improve considerably.
Wen Yan'an's chubby little hands instinctively shifted the book to a different angle. "Where are we going to play?"
"Someone is celebrating their birthday, and they invited me. It's an elder, and I can't refuse, so I'll take you with me."
Wen Yan'an nodded thoughtfully. "Do we need to prepare a birthday gift?"
See, this is the son of a wealthy family; his considerations are more comprehensive than hers.
"I forgot."
The two then hurried to the mall.
Fortunately, the appearance fee for her variety show had already been deposited into her account, otherwise, she would have only been able to gaze at gifts wistfully.
After selecting for a long time in the tea shop, they chose a set of tea ware that looked elegant and exuded a sense of grandeur.
"Yo, who do I see? It's the fake daughter kicked out by the Fang family. How can you know your foundation comes from the Fang family, so you're eagerly buying gifts to beg the Fang family to take you back?"
A young girl in a short designer skirt and a voluminous hairstyle stood contemptuously in front of Fang Miaomiao. "But can you go back? Will the Fang family directly kick you out?"
"You, do you have something to do or not?" Fang Miaomiao asked with a bit of boredom. "If not, please move aside, I need to check out."
"Fang Miaomiao, you dare to ignore me." The explosion-haired girl pointed at her nose incredulously and said, "Do you know who I am? Do you know that if you provoke me, you will die a horrible death."
