"Wenlan, why are you here?" Hong Lu's eyes flickered with surprise when she saw Wen Wenlan. "Aren't you filming?"
Wen Wenlan shook his head. "There was an issue with the crew, so they gave us a break."
Hearing this, Ran Lian felt even more heartbroken. "You have this rare chance to rest, and you come running to me."
"Grandma, isn't it natural for me to visit you?" Wen Wenlan said apologetically. "Grandma, I'm sorry I didn't make it back when you had your surgery."
"No need, it's fine," Ran Lian patted Wen Wenlan's hand kindly. "Good child, as long as you come back to see Grandma, Grandma is happy."
Hong Lu watched them chat happily, a complex emotion stirring within her. "Mom, why don't we go back to Yu Garden and talk properly? You forgot, you're being discharged today. Your second sister-in-law has already prepared a banquet at home, and many people will be coming to Yu Garden. We can all celebrate together."
"Look at my memory, I actually forgot about this. No wonder Wan Qing didn't come to see me at the hospital today. It's because of this. Besides, why go to such a fuss? It's just being discharged."
Ran Lian's words were chiding, but the smile on her face was undeniable.
"Not at all, this is a big event," Hong Lu said with a smile. "As long as Mom is happy, we, your children, are happy to do anything."
"Alright, alright, you and Zhi Jia are truly thoughtful. You are indeed my favorite children."
"Shall we go home then?"
Ran Lian nodded. "Okay, let's go home."
"Grandma, I'll help you."
The three of them got into the car and headed towards Yu Garden.
In the car, Hong Lu glanced at Wen Wenlan from time to time. Seeing that he seemed to have no particular expression, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wenlan should not know what she had done.
If he knew, he wouldn't be sitting calmly in the car with her, but would be asking her with red eyes why she had done such a thing.
As she was thinking, her phone vibrated.
It was a message from a man.
The eldest son of the Fang family.
Didn't the Fang family only have an only daughter, Fang Yan Huan? When did another one pop out…
Hong Lu's thoughts abruptly halted.
She remembered. This Fang family was not *that* Fang family.
However, wasn't the eldest son of that Fang family abroad for a long time, and hadn't he said he would never set foot in China again? He hadn't even returned when his own father passed away.
What was he doing back this time?
"Hong Lu."
Hong Lu snapped back to attention and met Ran Lian's slightly displeased gaze.
She quickly adjusted her smile. "Mom, what is it?"
"What were you thinking about just now? Wenlan and I called you several times, and you didn't respond."
"I'm sorry, I went to deliver breakfast to Zhi Jia this morning."
"Yes, and then what?"
"Then a man in his thirties, very handsome, barged into the office and demanded that Zhi Jia convene a shareholder meeting."
"Nonsense, can a shareholder meeting be convened just like that?"
"But he holds a lot of Wen Corporation's shares."
"How many?" Ran Lian's tone was casual, showing no concern for the man.
"Over 20%."
"What?" Ran Lian looked at Hong Lu with a hint of shock. "How much did you say?"
"Mom, it's not about the shares right now."
"Mom, perhaps we should go back and discuss this with Grandpa," Wen Wenlan said calmly.
"Wenlan?"
"Mom, Grandma has just recovered. She can't handle any more shock."
"No, my good grandson, I can," Ran Lian grabbed Wen Wenlan's hand and said. "I want to hear it. Hong Lu, tell me, who is that person, and why does he have so many shares of Wen Corporation?"
"That person's name is Fang Zhi Huan."
As soon as the words fell, Ran Lian's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Back to the hospital."
Hong Lu: "........."
Was this name so terrifying that just hearing it made one faint?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wen Renhe sat in his seat, glancing at Ran Lian lying on the hospital bed, and then spoke.
"Dad…"
Hong Lu had no choice but to briefly recount what had happened in the car and at the office that morning.
"Fang Zhi Huan?" Wen Renhe was also somewhat taken aback. "Isn't he abroad?"
When did he return? And how did he manage to buy so many shares of Wen Corporation without anyone knowing?
"Why didn't any of you tell me about such a big matter?" Wen Renhe thumped his cane in anger.
"Dad, it's not that we didn't want to tell you, but it happened so suddenly. We never expected something like this to occur," Hong Lu said with red eyes. "Fang Zhi Huan caught us completely off guard."
Wen Renhe closed his eyes. "How is Ran Lian?"
"Grandpa, the doctor said Grandma just had a bout of anger. They advised us not to agitate her and to let her rest well."
Wen Renhe sighed. "What a disaster, what a disaster."
Hong Lu tentatively asked, "Dad, who exactly is this Fang Zhi Huan? And how did he get so many shares? I always feel that if someone wasn't behind this, an outsider like him wouldn't have been able to achieve this."
"Wenlan."
"Grandpa."
"Drive. I want to go to Ming Shan Apartments."
Hong Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and she remained silent.
Wen Wenlan opened his mouth, but decided to obey Wen Renhe and drove him to Ming Shan Apartments.
"Who is it?"
Fang Miao Miao opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Wen Renhe and Wen Wenlan. "Dad, Wenlan, what are you doing here?"
Wen Renhe didn't speak and walked inside. "I'm looking for Wen Zhi Yan."
"Zhi Yan is in the study."
Wen Renhe didn't even look at Fang Miao Miao. "Where is the study?"
As he spoke, the study door opened.
"Father, please come in."
Wen Wenlan looked at Wen Zhi Yan, then at Wen Renhe, and then quietly walked to Fang Miao Miao's side.
Fang Miao Miao raised an eyebrow. *Why are you coming to me?*
Wen Wenlan pointed at the two of them, indicating that he didn't dare go anywhere else.
"Father, please come in."
The study door closed.
Wen Renhe sat on the sofa and looked at Wen Zhi Yan. It seemed like a long time since he had looked at his fourth son so intently.
"What do you want to ask?" Wen Zhi Yan poured him a cup of tea.
"When did you set up this scheme?"
"Not long ago."
"How long is 'not long ago'?"
Wen Zhi Yan smiled. "Father, why bother? Asking these questions won't improve your mood."
"Zhi Yan," Wen Renhe's tone was full of helplessness. "How did our relationship become like this?"
Wen Zhi Yan shrugged. "Father, what's the point of talking about this now?"
"I'm asking you, when did Fang Zhi Huan return?"
Wen Zhi Yan smiled and shook his head. "Father, you know our family's relationship with Fang Zhi Huan. Do you think I would know when he returned?"
Wen Renhe frowned slightly. "Fang Zhi Huan hates our Wen family, but he doesn't hate you."
Wen Zhi Yan remained silent.
Wen Renhe compromised. "When will you return to Wen Corporation? Didn't we agree last time that you would return to work at Wen Corporation?"
"Father, do you think we can still save the current Wen Corporation?" Wen Zhi Yan spread his hands. "I don't think I have that much capability."
