Chapter 311 Internal strife, secrets, and family scandal
Lan Xingyue's family could not sense Zhou Nan's free and easy spirit, but Zhou Nan's sarcasm fell on Lan Xingyue's ears.
Lan Xingyue became angry, glared at Zhou Nan and said coldly, "Don't say that you and Lan Ruo are not married. Even if you are married, it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks about the Lan family."
"Haha, aunt, don't be angry. I'm just discussing the matter. It's not my turn to say anything about the Lan family's affairs, so I said from the beginning that I would only make one suggestion." Zhou Nan also smiled lightly, "Anyway, I feel that if you let it go,
It seems unreasonable for a descendant of the Lan family to stay outside."
"Besides, it's not good for the reputation of the Lan family."
"How can the reputation of the Lan family be improved if an illegitimate child of unknown origin is brought in? Now the Lan family has become notorious in Hong Kong..." Huang Weixiong glared at Zhou Nan angrily and thought to himself, who are you, you kid?
What a silly bird! How much face do you have to give me and you really think you are a person?
Lan Xingyue and Huang Weixiong were "tit for tat" with Zhou Nan. Seeing that her man had received a "cold look" because of the Lan family's affairs, Lan Ruo couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't help but sneered, "Auntie, what do you think we should do?
?Ignore it? Will people agree?"
Lan Xingyue curled her lips and said indifferently, "Just ignore her! Let her do whatever she wants. How can we, the Lan family, be afraid of a bank employee like her? In a word, this child, I
I firmly deny it or acknowledge it. If this child is allowed to enter the house, I..."
Before Lan Xingyue finished speaking, Lan Ruo stood up angrily and said angrily, "Auntie, don't go too far. It doesn't matter whether you recognize this child or not. As long as he is my father's flesh and blood, my mother and I will recognize it."
, what does it matter if you don’t admit it? You alone can’t represent the Lan family!”
Seeing that Lan Ruo was very excited, Zhou Nan quickly grabbed her little hand and pulled her down, then quietly glanced at Lan Tiancheng. But Lan Tiancheng narrowed his eyes and seemed indifferent. Zhou Nan secretly shook his head, feeling
What a good old fox! He is testing the bottom line of the fight between his daughter and his son!
Lan Tiancheng's mentality was probably like this. He wanted to see how far the two half-siblings could get into trouble because of this family business, and whether they would really fight each other, or even fight each other. So,
He has remained strangely silent.
Lan Ruo sat down again angrily.
Lan Jingzhong remained silent with a dark face. In fact, his heart was on the verge of breaking out. No matter what mistakes he made, he was always the eldest son of the Lan family and the legitimate heir. As a younger sister, Lan Xingyue had no face at all.
Leaving him alone and even humiliating him over and over again made Lan Jingzhong unable to bear it no matter how weak she was.
Moreover, no matter what, the child is innocent. Since he is his own flesh and blood, Lan Jingzhong will never give up his responsibility and let his son become a real "bastard".
Lan Jingzhong's lips trembled, she slowly raised her head and glared at Lan Xingyue, her breathing a little short.
"Xingyue, over the years, I have always been very tolerant to you...why? Am I afraid of you?" Lan Jingzhong suddenly roared angrily, and his expression turned a bit as ferocious as thunder.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Lan Xingyue, you're going too far! You're going too far!" Lan Jingzhong roared, waving his arms, and in a loud voice, "What am I doing for? I'm doing it for the unity of the Lan family, for
We are close relatives, brothers and sisters from half-mothers!"
"I don't want my brother and sister to turn against each other because of a little family fortune, so I try my best to be patient and meet your family's various requirements. But what about you? How do you treat me? You go even further and treat me like an idiot!"
"I can stand up to you Lan Xingyue, I can stand up to you Huang Weixiong, and I can stand up to your whole family!" Lan Jingzhong gasped, "You Lan Xingyue cannot represent the Lan family. I will handle my problems myself."
, I don’t want you to make irresponsible remarks! I just want to take this child home, let me see what you can do?!"
"You don't admit it? Who do you think you are? Humph, since you've broken your skin, I can tell you that I can also deny you as my sister!"
Lan Jingzhong suddenly became uncharacteristically furious, venting out his forbearance and dissatisfaction over the years like a storm. Lan Xingyue was speechless for a while.
Lan Ruo's lips moved and she was about to say something to comfort her father, but she felt Zhou Nan squeeze her hand and shut up.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became filled with the smell of gunpowder. Several servants of the Lan family hurriedly hid in another small living room, not daring to show their faces again. A fierce "civil war" broke out in the master's house. If they were servants,
If you don't have a good eye, you will definitely become someone's punching bag.
However, Lan Tiancheng looked at his furious son with some surprise. From childhood to adulthood, from youth to adulthood to middle age, Lan Jingzhong has always been humble and gentle, with a gentleman's style. This is the first time that he is so strong and rude like today.
.However, Lan Tiancheng felt a strange feeling of joy at the corner of his mouth.
From a fundamental point of view, although Lan Tiancheng does not want to see the internal strife between Lan Jingzhong and his sister, he is even less willing to see Lan Jingzhong being weak and bullyable. If Lan Jingzhong was not so weak and gentle, maybe Lan Tiancheng would have destroyed the Lan family long ago.
The property was completely handed over to him.
As long as Lan Tiancheng gives all of his 50% equity in Lan's Enterprise to Lan Jingzhong, Lan Jingzhong will hold 70% of Lan's Enterprise, an absolute controlling stake, and he won't be afraid of Lan Xingyue even if she makes a fuss. The big deal
, split the equity and let Lan Xingyue's family get out.
But if that happens, the Lan family will really break up and fall into pieces. The split is not a big deal. The key is that Lan Jingzhong's ability to control such a large industry is really poor. Leave it entirely to him, and Lan Xingyue will take care of it.
"Destruction", after the split, the Lan family industry may be on the way to decline.
This is the outcome Lan Tiancheng tries his best to avoid.
Lan Jingzhong failed to live up to expectations and did not have the ability to independently control Lan's enterprise. Lan Tiancheng sighed secretly many times. He also had other thoughts, wanting to hand over half of the shares of Lan's enterprise to Lan Xingyue.
The company is dominated by Lan Xingyue and Lan Jingzhong is the assistant. The two brothers and sisters work together to pass on the Lan company.
But Lan Tiancheng knows his daughter too well. Not only is she ambitious and has big plans, she is also ruthless. Once the equity in her hands exceeds that of Lan Jingzhong, the fate of Lan Jingzhong and his family in Lan's enterprise will be in danger.
Who knows, the ruthless Lan Xingyue will gradually expel Lan Jingzhong from Lan's Enterprise, thereby turning Lan's Enterprise into his own industry.
Lan Xingyue is so cruel and has such methods. Her son is no match for her daughter. This is what Lan Tiancheng has been worried about for more than ten years.
Originally, Lan Tiancheng planned to train Lan Ruo, let Lan Ruo grow up slowly, and calmly take over Lan's enterprise. Although the granddaughter's character is equally gentle, she has Lan Tiancheng's own perseverance and determination in her heart. If Lan Ruo really takes control of the situation, Lan Xing
Yue may not be able to make any noise.
But Lan Ruo later met Zhou Nan and voluntarily gave up her inheritance rights to Lan's Enterprise. She also left Lan's Enterprise and went to the mainland to run an industry founded by her husband.
…
…
Lan Tiancheng thought about lightning.
At this time, I heard Lan Jingzhong continue to make violent revelations.
He has endured it for so many years, and there are so many negative emotions accumulated in his heart. Once it fully breaks out, he will not be able to stop it for a while.
"And you, Huang Weixiong, you keep saying that I have disgraced the Lan family, but who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to dictate to me in the Lan family?"
"You Huang family are just servants of our Lan family. It was because of your father's contribution to the Lan family that the Lan family gave you some properties and married Xingyue to you. So many years have passed.
, it seems that you have forgotten your origin..."
"You..." Huang Weixiong didn't expect that Lan Jingzhong would turn his face so completely today. He could say anything and be so aggressive. He was choked by Lan Jingzhong's words, his face turned red, and he couldn't say a word.
I can't say it out loud.
"What am I? What's wrong with me?" Lan Jingzhong roared almost with all his strength, "I've had enough! I've had enough of you!"
"Have I lost the face of the Lan family? What kind of good thing are you, Huang Weixiong? Don't think that I don't know about all the tricks you are doing outside! The woman you are raising outside has a twelve-year-old child, really
Do you think everyone else is a fool?!"
Lan Jingzhong waved his hands angrily and sat down again, panting heavily.
As soon as he said these words, Lan Tiancheng was stunned. Lan Ruo and Zhou Nan were also surprised. Huang Weixiong looked shocked, while Lan Xingyue suddenly turned pale. She turned to stare at her husband and her lips trembled slightly, "Huang Weixiong, eldest brother
Is what you said true?"
"Say! Say it!"
Under the attention of everyone in the Lan family, Huang Weixiong would be lying if he said he was not guilty or panicked. He did not expect that such a secret matter was hidden even by Lan Xingyue and her son. How did Lan Jingzhong know about it?
Huang Weixiong's face twitched, and he was afraid to look directly into his wife's angry eyes.
Lan Xingyue has been with him for so many years, and she has understood everything from the details reflected in his expression. I have to say that this Lan Xingyue is really an extraordinary woman. Although she is almost furious in her heart, she still can't help it.
Because she knew that at this time, her family had to unite with the "outside" and strive for their own interests in Lan's enterprise, and they could not mess up their position.
As for Huang Weixiong... let's wait until we get home to settle the score with him.
The angry and sinister light in Lan Xingyue's eyes flashed away. She gritted her teeth tightly and sneered, "Brother, are you crazy? How could Weixiong have a woman outside? You can't be messy.
He said, you have to provide evidence."
"Besides, even if he has a woman outside, that's another matter. Don't worry, if he really has a woman and a bastard outside, I will never let him go, and I will never let him take the bastard away.
Take it home!"
"I will divorce him and kick him out! I can't spare him!"
Lan Xingyue's voice was gloomy and cold. Huang Weixiong sat there and trembled subconsciously. He knew his wife too well. She was ruthless. Once her affairs were exposed, she would do anything. She would never do anything.
What kind of favor do you have for him?
At this level, the whole family was exposing each other, and Lan Tiancheng knew that if he didn't come forward, things would become impossible to end.
Therefore, Lan Tiancheng patted the coffee table next to him very promptly and interjected angrily, "What do you want to do? What do you look like? Expose each other? Attack each other? The younger sister disrespects the elder brother, and the older brother laughs at the younger sister.
What's it like?"
"You still think the Lan family is not chaotic enough? Do you still think the Lan family is ugly enough?"
"Huang Weixiong, put your matter aside for now, and I will settle the accounts with you later. If you really have a mistress outside, and I feel sorry for Xingyue, then I'm sorry, but don't blame me, my father-in-law, for being unkind."
Although Lan Tiancheng's voice was not loud, it was extremely cold and stern.
Although Lan Tiancheng is not satisfied with his daughter, and can even say that he hates her for being cruel and greedy, she is his biological daughter after all. Back then, he married Lan Xingyue to Huang Weixiong, but now Huang Weixiong repays her kindness and is playing outside.
How could he not make Lan Tiancheng angry when he fell in love with a woman?
…
…
Zhou Nan has been watching with cold eyes, and at the same time hinted that Lan Ruo also remained silent. No matter what, it is always a matter of "gratitude and hatred" between the elders, and as juniors, it is not easy for them to intervene.
But when it was time to speak, Zhou Nan was naturally not humble.
The moment Lan Tiancheng's questioning gaze came over, he smiled understandingly and said, "Grandpa, actually I think there is one most important question that I haven't clarified yet."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Lan Tiancheng calmed down his excited and confused mood, nodded and said softly.
"Grandpa, I think it must be verified as soon as possible whether that child is my father's flesh and blood. To be on the safe side, I suggest that my father do a paternity test with that child... As long as the test results prove that it is indeed my father's blood, then it's okay.
It’s easy to say, let’s find a way to bring the child back to the Lan family.”
"If it's not... haha, then it means there is some kind of conspiracy behind this, and then there is another way to deal with it."
After listening to Zhou Nan's words, Lan Xingyue's family remained silent. But Lan Jingzhong frowned secretly. He did have sex with Qi Meiyun, more than once, and counting the time, this child should be his. Besides,
While Qi Meiyun was living with him, she basically stayed in seclusion and had no contact with outsiders.
But Lan Jingzhong cannot say this publicly.
I just think what Zhou Nan said makes sense. Even if he wants to take this child back, he still has to do a personal appraisal... Even if Zhou Nan doesn't mention this, Lan Tiancheng, the head of the Lan family, will give such an order.
Who is the Lan family? How could they let a strange child in so casually?
The Spring Festival is just around the corner, but we have to say that because of Lan Jingzhong’s scandal, the Lan family is not having a comfortable Spring Festival. On New Year’s Eve, the family gathered together for a reunion dinner with an unpleasant atmosphere.
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Lan Xingyue's family did not come to Lan's house to celebrate the holidays. It was said that the family went to Macau to celebrate the New Year. But in fact, it was Huang Weixiong who went to Macau miserably alone.
After returning home that day, under Lan Xingyue's questioning, Huang Weixiong had to confess truthfully. Lan Xingyue was furious and immediately stated that she wanted to divorce Huang Weixiong and restricted Huang Weixiong to "cleanse and leave the house" immediately. Huang Weixiong did not dare to follow Lan Xingyue.
Yue "argued" something, so she had no choice but to run away from home and go to Macau, also in order to quickly transfer her mistress and illegitimate son in Macau.
Lan Xingyue is ruthless. Once she knows the exact address and detailed information of the daughter, she can do anything. Even if she divorces Huang Weixiong, she will not let that woman go easily.
In order to take precautions, Huang Weixiong did not dare to neglect and rushed to Macau.
Zhou Nan was a little upset while staying in Hong Kong. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he contacted the county and learned that Ningshan County was going to hold an investment promotion conference in Hong Kong. Something suddenly changed. The municipal party committee leaders raised objections.
Zhang Qiang had to give up this plan temporarily.
Since the investment press conference was in vain, Zhou Nan wanted to rush back.
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Ruo was talking to Zhuo Lan in the living room. Suddenly she saw Zhou Nan coming down from upstairs, so she stood up and said with a smile, "Are you up? Don't want to sleep for a while?"
Zhuo Lan also stood up and smiled and said, "Xiao Ruo, go out with Zhou Nan for two days. After a long time, come back. Go out to meet friends and go shopping. Don't stay bored at home all the time!"
Lan Ruo smiled and said, "Okay..."
Zhou Nan also smiled and said, "Xiao Ruo, mom, I'm ready to go back. The county is too busy with work. The county office called me several times in a row. There is a lot of work waiting for me to go back to deal with. I have to hurry up and go back.
Besides, the vacation is over and I have official duties, so it would be inappropriate for me to be away from my job for a long time."
Lan Ruo was a little disappointed, but it was expected.
Zhuo Lan frowned and said, "How many days have you stayed here? Why do you have to go back so soon? It's hard to come here and stay for a few more days. Your father has been here for the past two days..."
Zhuo Lan hesitated to speak. She originally wanted to say that Lan Jingzhong was dealing with that woman's affairs in the past two days, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that it was not appropriate to say this to her son-in-law, so she swallowed the words again.
At this moment, Lan Xingyue suddenly rushed in with a gloomy face and menacingly. Yes, he just "rushed" in, bringing with him a gust of cold wind.
Lan Xingyue stood up hastily, without saying hello to Zhuo Lan, and shouted to Zhou Nan with a cold face, "Young man named Zhou, you are so insidious and vicious, you actually did such a thing behind the back of the Lan family!"
"On the surface, he pretended to regard money as dirt, but secretly he was targeting the Lan family's property! No wonder he tried so hard to abduct our Lan Ruo, but it turned out that he was planning on the Lan family's property."
Zhou Nan glanced at Lan Xingyue, who was furious, and understood why Lan Xingyue was doing this.
Lan Ruo frowned and said in a deep voice, "aunt, what are you talking about inexplicably? How could you say that about Zhou Nan!"
