Early the next morning, Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo got up, washed up briefly, changed a set of clothes, and then ordered Chinese breakfast at the hotel. After dinner, Zhou Nan drove the car sent by Feiteng International and drove Lan Ruo to Lan's house.
.
On the way, Lan Ruo called the Lan family, but no one answered. Lan Ruo had no choice but to go straight to the Lan family villa.
In this high-end community where Hong Kong's upper class gathers, Lan's Villa is the largest, has the best location, and is extremely beautiful and luxurious. At the corner of the road, several hundred meters away from the gate of Lan's Villa, you have actually entered
Within the surveillance field of view of the Lan family security personnel.
Seeing a black Mercedes-Benz with an unfamiliar license plate speeding toward the main entrance of the Lan family villa, two uniformed security guards hurriedly ran out of the guard room, waving "warning signs" in their hands, signaling Zhou Nan to stop.
Zhou Nan slowly stopped the car and glanced at the Lan family villa in the depths. He realized that the Lan family was really impressive. There was surveillance a few hundred meters away from the gate, and security guards were set up in front of the gate.
Judging from the tightness of the security of the room, it is almost as good as the confidentiality center of the dictatorship.
Zhou Nan was cursing in his heart when two dark-skinned security guards ran up to him, made a gesture to Zhou Nan who was sitting in the car, came over and said something loudly in Cantonese, but Zhou Nan didn't understand.
But Zhou Nan could also guess what they meant. They were simply asking him who he was looking for, which member of the Lan family he was looking for, and his identity. They could call him to inform him and get permission from the owner before letting him go.
Zhou Nan smiled wryly and shrugged, rolled down the window, and Lan Ruo, who was sitting in the passenger seat on the other side, appeared in front of the two security guards.
As soon as Lan Ruo's stunning face appeared, the two security guards stomped their feet in surprise and stood at attention, waved and saluted, and quickly stepped aside to let the car pass.
Just kidding, Lan Ruo, the little princess of the Lan family, is back, why do you still need to report?
Zhou Nan slowly drove the car in and parked it under the parking shed on the side of the courtyard of the villa area. Then the two of them got out of the car and took out the gifts from the trunk, some dried seafood, sea cucumbers and abalone, which are specialties of Haidu City.
Fish fillets and some local specialties.
The Lan family is a wealthy family, so naturally there will be no shortage of anything. The so-called gifts are just a little thought from the two of them. They did not buy too much intentionally and did not spend much money. Anyway, just before leaving, Zhou Nan ran to the sea by himself.
I walked around the shopping malls and bought several thousand dollars worth of things without choosing.
Pushing open the floor-to-ceiling glass door, I walked into the living room on the first floor of the Lan family's conjoined villa. It was a coincidence that all the relatives of the Lan family, including Mr. Lan Tiancheng, were gathered in the living room and seemed to be discussing something.
.
Lan Tiancheng held an exquisite jade pipe in his hands, with green smoke curling between his mouth and nose. His face was cold and solemn, and he sat there with his legs crossed.
Lan Xingyue's family of three sat on a set of sofas opposite Lan Tiancheng. Lan Xingyue's face turned red and seemed a little excited, while her son Huang Junjie was sitting there with his head down absentmindedly, playing with his mobile phone, and her husband Huang Weixiong was sitting there.
Because he took advantage of his face, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, Lan Jingzhong stood there with an embarrassed expression, turning his head and looking out the window. His wife Zhuo Lan also pouted with a cold face, holding a crystal ball in her hand, half-smiling, half-angry, but not angry.
The first person who noticed Lan Ruo and Zhou Nan entering was Zhuo Lan. Zhuo Lan suddenly saw her daughter and prospective son-in-law, and you can imagine the surprise in her heart. She stood up suddenly and said in surprise, "Xiao Ruo, Zhou Nan, why are you back?"
Don’t say hello to the family!”
With that said, Zhuo Lan greeted him happily.
"Mommy, we came in a hurry. We happened to come to Hong Kong to deal with some matters, so we came back. Zhou Nan happened to be on vacation, so he came back with me to celebrate the Spring Festival."
Lan Ruo smiled and hugged her mother, while Zhou Nan smiled and walked over to Lan Tiancheng and others who had already stood up, greeting them one by one, "Grandpa, dad, aunt, uncle - haha, this is the outstanding figure."
Brother?"
Lan Tiancheng was also a little surprised. He smiled heartily, and the gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by a happy smile, "Zhou Nan, come on, sit down quickly. When did you arrive?"
Lan Tiancheng was not in a very happy mood at the moment. His son Lan Jingzhong suddenly gave birth to an illegitimate child, his daughter Lan Xingyue's family was having a great time, and his daughter-in-law Zhuo Lan couldn't stop. He was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital for several days, but he was still in a bad mood.
Can it get better?
At this time, he suddenly saw his beloved granddaughter Lan Ruo and his very satisfied grandson-in-law Zhou Nan, and his mood temporarily improved.
Lan Jingzhong smiled awkwardly and nodded to Zhou Nan. He was being "tried" by his family today and was feeling agitated.
Lan Xingyue's family was very polite. Lan Xingyue stood up with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Zhou Nan, come on, sit down quickly - well, this is your cousin Junjie. Unfortunately, he doesn't live up to expectations, but he can't compete with you.
.Junjie, please call me brother-in-law, your brother-in-law Zhou Nan is the founder of Feiteng Company and the real boss behind the scenes."
Lan Xingyue has no reason to be rude to Zhou Nan. First of all, because the strength of Feiteng Group is getting stronger day by day, if we really want to talk about it, I am afraid that although there is some gap between it and Lan's Enterprise, it is similar. Moreover, Zhou Nan is still so young and he is from the mainland.
An official will have a bright future.
Secondly, it was because of Zhou Nan's existence that Lan Ruo voluntarily gave up the inheritance rights of Lan's enterprise. To be honest, without Zhou Nan's support, Lan Ruo would not have been able to do this. How could anyone else be willing to voluntarily give up the inheritance worth hundreds of millions?
huge wealth?
Huang Junjie also smiled and shook hands with Zhou Nan and exchanged greetings. Only Huang Weixiong remained reserved and acted like an elder and simply said hello to Zhou Nan.
But overall, the attitude of the Lan family towards Zhou Nan is still very cordial and friendly.
Zhou Nan secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that if Lan Xingyue's family knew that he and Lan Ruo were secretly advancing the plan, they would immediately guess his true intentions. Once that time comes, they would definitely turn against each other and become enemies.
But Zhou Nan doesn't care. The reason why he wants to do this is actually for the good of the Lan family and to avoid the split of the Lan family's industry. Personally speaking, Zhou Nan can even let go of the billions of wealth in his own name.
, why would you still covet the Tulan family's family fortune?
Of course, at a deeper level, Zhou Nan also has his own selfish motives. He wants to lead the powerful alliance between Lan's Enterprise and Feiteng Group to create an unprecedented super economic aircraft carrier and a brilliant business empire standing in the east of the world.
"Come, Zhou Nan, sit next to me." Lan Tiancheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhou Nan chatting affectionately with Lan Xingyue's family.
Zhou Nan nodded and walked over with a smile, "Grandpa, are you in good health? I heard that you were hospitalized, but Lan Ruo was very anxious. If she hadn't booked a flight, she would have rushed back to Hong Kong immediately to see you.
Yours. Well, we arrived last night, and because it was quite late, we stayed in the hotel for one night."
"In addition, Lan Ruo also handled some company matters."
…
…
Zhuo Lan and Lan Ruo, mother and daughter, bit their ears and walked over slowly, and the family meeting continued.
Lan Ruo hesitated for a moment, then let go of her mother's hand, walked over and sat next to Zhou Nan. Although she was not really married yet, in her heart, she was already the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. In this kind of family occasion,
She must sit with her man to show her identity and attitude.
Lan Ruo's little gesture caught Lan Tiancheng's eyes. Lan Tiancheng's eyebrows raised and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhuo Lan, on the other hand, was a little disappointed and glanced at her daughter. How could she feel better after raising such a big daughter and now becoming an outsider? Especially now that her husband had an "affair" and she felt that she was the victim.
She needed her daughter's "consideration", but her daughter still went over and sat with Zhou Nan. How could she not be disappointed?
Lan Tiancheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Okay, let's continue talking. There is a problem with Jingzhong, which means there is a problem with our Lan family. The purpose of everyone getting together is to discuss how to deal with this matter.
.”
"Xiao Ruo and Zhou Nan already know what happened. You can also weigh in and share your opinions."
Lan Ruo blushed and said nothing, while Zhou Nan just smiled.
Lan Jingzhong hung his head with a blushing face. As an elder, he had made such a fool of himself and had his daughter and son-in-law to "judge" his behavior. As a father, he naturally felt embarrassed.
As soon as Lan Tiancheng finished speaking, Lan Xingyue said in a deep voice, "Daddy, I have told you before that this woman Qi Meiyun has ulterior motives. She must be plotting our Lan family's property. The origin of this child is also unknown, and we don't know yet.
Whose bastard... Big brother is too honest and kind, maybe he was deceived without knowing it."
"My opinion is to give her a sum of money and send her away. If she bothers her again... If I'm too embarrassed to come forward, I can solve the problem. In short, what kind of family is our Lan family? How can we let such a wild woman get involved?
Top? No, absolutely not, I firmly oppose bringing this child of unknown origin back to the Lan family."
Huang Weixiong immediately echoed his wife's words and said slowly and calmly, "Brother, it's better not to be too serious. For a woman like Qi Meiyun, she must have an agenda when she approaches you, eldest brother. I'm afraid eldest brother can't deny this either.
"
"To be honest, this kind of dirty woman can't be said to be useless, but it's not a good thing. I don't think the child she gives birth to will be my brother's flesh and blood. Brother, please don't fall in love with her.
This woman’s fault.”
Lan Xingyue and his wife sang together like this. Although they didn't directly say what happened to Lan Jingzhong, and their words were not unreasonable, Lan Jingzhong was still very embarrassed and angry after hearing this.
Although Lan Jingzhong now had a vague feeling that Qi Meiyun might not be a clean woman, but even so, Lan Xingyue and his wife despised Qi Meiyun in front of him, which was actually an invisible humiliation to Lan Jingzhong.
Wild woman, no one can help anyone, slut, bastard... These keywords are strung together, which is tantamount to mocking Lan Jingzhong for being tricked by a scumbag brother and creating a bastard of unknown origin.
In other words, if Qi Meiyun is despicable, who does Lan Jingzhong, who has a relationship with her, count?
But although Lan Jingzhong was angry, she couldn't reply for a while. Her lips trembled a few times.
Lan Tiancheng frowned secretly.
Zhou Nan stared at his father-in-law and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he was too cowardly. Lan Xingyue spoke so harshly, but he could still keep his composure. No wonder Lan Xingyue and his family could keep riding on him.
The dignified eldest son of the Lan family was being led around by his sister and brother-in-law.
In fact, this is also the key factor why Lan Tiancheng has been reluctant to make up his mind to "expel" Lan Xingyue and his family from Lan's Enterprise through forceful means. Because once Lan Xingyue and Huang's family leave Lan's Enterprise, they will inevitably
It caused civil strife and turmoil in the company, but his son was submissive and lacked the means to control the situation.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let Lan Xingyue help him manage Lan's enterprise. After all, Lan Xingyue is also the daughter of the Lan family.
But Lan Ruo couldn't hold back her anger.
Lan Jingzhong is her father. Even though Lan Jingzhong has countless shortcomings and shortcomings, he is still her father. Seeing her father being humiliated by her aunt's family, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
.
"Daddy, you should stand up and say something! I don't care what this woman is like or who she is, but if the child is my father's flesh and blood, then it is the descendant of our Lan family and cannot be left alone." Lan Ruoleng.
He glanced at his aunt coldly and said in an uncharacteristically tough tone, "Besides, I don't agree with aunt's opinion either. It's not that everyone only cares about money, and it doesn't mean that everyone will covet this member of our Lan family.
Do some family business."
Lan Ruo has always had a gentle temperament. Although her aunt's family was aggressive, she had previously been patient and polite to Lan Xingyue and Huang Weixiong for the sake of family unity and family ties. But today Lan Ruo's attitude was clearly a bit tough, which made Lan Ruo
Xingyue and his wife were somewhat surprised and were speechless for a moment.
After listening to Zhou Nan's words, Lan Ruo felt that she could not continue like this. If she continued to tolerate it like this, sooner or later the Lan family would be tormented by Lan Xingyue's family and eventually fall apart.
Therefore, when her mentality changes, her attitude will naturally change.
Zhuo Lan glanced at her ashamed and angry husband, sighed secretly in her heart, and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Ruo is right. I have already told Jing Zhong that as long as he no longer associates with that woman, he will not be with her anymore."
Let's make a clean break, I can agree to take that child in, and I will raise him, and he will be regarded as my and Jingzhong's son."
"I'm thinking about it now... I can't blame Jingzhong entirely. If I want to blame it, blame it on my stomach. I haven't given birth to a grandson to the Lan family in these years, so that the family is like this.
Not like family, not like friends, not like friends, it’s a mess.”
Zhuo Lan's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke.
Lan Jingzhong glanced at his wife and daughter gratefully, and felt warm in his heart. In fact, he had the same plan in his heart. The child would stay, and Qi Meiyun would give her a sum of money to let her go.
"Sister-in-law, you are very magnanimous. You are indeed a good wife and mother...you can actually accept such a bastard!" Lan Xingyue laughed mockingly after hearing this, "But I'm afraid that even if you, sister-in-law, have a lot, that woman won't give up.
Yo."
"That woman doesn't agree to give up the custody rights of this bastard at all. Give her a sum of money? Okay, how much should you give her? How much will she be satisfied with? She just came here for the Lan family's business. She will give her no matter how much you give her.
Won’t be satisfied!”
"Anyway, I firmly disagree with letting a bastard enter the Lan family! My surname is Lan too. If my eldest brother and sister-in-law insist on doing this, then I have nothing to say... I will never recognize his identity. You see
Let’s do it.”
As Lan Xingyue said this, she stood up angrily and was about to walk away. Huang Weixiong and his son naturally followed suit.
Bang!
Lan Tiancheng, who had been sitting silently, suddenly slapped the sandalwood coffee table next to him and said coldly, "Sit down! What are you making a fuss about? I'm still here in the Lan family, so it's not your turn to make the decision! Sit down.
!”
When Lan Tiancheng got so angry, Lan Xingyue's family didn't dare to push him any further, and quickly sat back down in their original positions.
Lan Tiancheng let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhou Nan, and said with a faint smile, "Zhou Nan, what do you think? You are also a county magistrate in the mainland. How to deal with this matter, grandpa will listen to your opinion.
"
Zhou Nan actually waited for Lan Tiancheng to speak. After all, he had not officially married Lan Ruo, and strictly speaking, he was not a real Lan family member, so he could not talk randomly about the Lan family's internal affairs.
"Grandpa, I am a junior, and I have nothing to say about the elders' affairs." Zhou Nan smiled, "But I have some personal opinions, so I will speak out. If there is anything inappropriate, please grandpa and the elders not to take offense."
.”
"That woman is not the key to the problem. The key to the problem is this child. If this child is really his father's flesh and blood, then there is actually nothing to say. After all, he is a descendant of the Lan family, and those who should be taken back must still be taken back. Even if it is
It has to be done at some cost!"
"Because Hong Kong is a place with sound laws, if someone wants to take legal action against the Lan family and cause a big fuss, the reputation of the Lan family will be affected. Besides, the father also has the responsibility to raise this child."
As soon as Zhou Nan said these words, Lan Jingzhong was naturally happy, but Lan Xingyue's face darkened. She looked at Zhou Nan with a sneer and said lightly, "The reputation of the Lan family will be affected only if you accept this bastard.
"
Zhou Nan turned a blind eye to the unkind looks from Lan Xingyue's family. He also smiled coldly and said, "After all, he is a child. There is nothing wrong with children. Auntie, don't always be a bastard. Even if you are not the flesh and blood of the Lan family, we still want to
Build up some moral integrity!"
Lan Xingyue suddenly became angry when Zhou Nan pushed back so rudely. Just as she was about to get angry, she saw Zhou Nan said coldly, "In the final analysis, it's money. If this child is really a flesh and blood of the Lan family, he will naturally
Take it back, he is still young, and there is no way to inherit the Lan family's family business... As for the future, if the Lan family really can't accommodate this child, I can ask Xiao Ruo to give him some Feiteng shares, so that he won't compete with anyone.
That’s all the family property.”
Zhou Nan's voice contained endless freedom, pride and sarcasm, and Lan Xingyue's face suddenly turned red.
