The old lady is still in the hospital. She will have to undergo another full body check-up in the next few days. She can be discharged only if she is fine.

When Zhou Xixiang arrived at the hospital with the appointment documents as vice president of Huayu, he was met with strong opposition from the old lady.

The old lady still couldn't swallow this humiliation. Seeing her son resign as a director and Huayu's equity being lost, she could not rest in peace even in death.

Zhou Xixiang advised: "In fact, Qingwen's return to Huayu now is better for Huayu's development than her going to any other institution."

"She can't create any momentum. It's the same wherever she goes. The most she can get from holding shares is some dividends."

The old lady calculated in her heart and said with a serious face, "What I can't forgive is that she suddenly showed up at the shareholders' meeting and made the Zhou family lose all their face!"

Zhou Xixiang informed Li Qingwen of the result over the phone and told her that her grandmother would need some time to digest it.

Li Qingwen understood that without the old lady's nod, this matter would have no result.

The popularity of Huayu Bank had just died down when Huayun Investment Bank, which was independently managed by Zhou Yongan overseas, suddenly made the news - Huayun Investment Bank was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

For a time, Zhou Yongan's name was all over the major search engines, and financial circles at home and abroad were talking about this Wall Street upstart, his amazing performance and radical market strategies.

The news popped up automatically on the phone screen, and it was hard for Li Qingwen not to pay attention.

In the photo, he is wearing an expensive suit with a white shirt underneath, and his smile is greedy yet very charming.

I wonder if he has paid attention to the recent developments of Huayu Bank.

Ever since I deleted all his contact information, there has been no news at all.

Li Qingwen once again went to the hospital carrying a fruit basket. Only Aunt Lan was there to keep the old lady company.

As people get older, their appearance makes people feel distressed, not to mention that they are in the hospital now.

After Li Qingwen informed the purpose of his visit, he was easily allowed into the ward.

The old lady sat at the head of the bed, her silver hair draped behind her, looking haggard: "What equity adjustment?"

Li Qingwen handed over a document. The old lady took a look and found that all the properties under Zhou Yongan's name would be given to Li Qingwen because of the divorce, including his 2% stake in Huayu.

Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry, Li Qingwen immediately said, "Please be patient. I am here to discuss this with you."

The old lady looked at the property division document from the property notary office in her hand, and glanced at the time and date of the contract: "Yongan, you are really my good grandson. You are preparing for a divorce, but you still go to handle the distribution of the divorce property."

Li Qingwen: "As long as I don't deal with it, it will still belong to Yongan."

"What are your conditions?"

"Let me go back to Huayu, and at the same time, you promise not to interfere in the company's affairs." Li Qingwen said.

The old lady snorted and laughed: "What if I don't agree?"

Li Qingwen analyzed: "If this 2% is separated from the Zhou family's equity, then I will have 32% of the equity, and the Zhou family will only have 32.3% of the equity. I think anyone who wants to sabotage Huayu will find a way to support me as the largest shareholder. By then, I don't need to tell you about the situation of the Zhou family... So I came to discuss this with you."

The old lady was about to get angry, but she suppressed her anger with her last words.

The old lady had no choice at all. She would definitely choose this. 2% of the shares is not something she can just give up: "Are you really willing to give it up for a position?"

Li Qingwen: "Without gain, there is no talk of giving up."

The old lady was speechless for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at her deeply. She clearly had such good cards in her hand that were enough to deal with the Zhou family, why didn't she use them?

Isn't it her intention to prove the identity of her grandmother?

Don't you want to wipe out Huayu?

Before Li Qingwen left, the old lady stopped him and said, "When you have time, give Zijin a call and look for her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come to see me. Now Chunsheng has gone to the mountains and eats vegetarian food every day. Doesn't she care about him?"

Not quite understanding what the old lady meant, Li Qingwen agreed anyway.

When I really called Luo Zijin, I found out that she never answered calls from anyone. No wonder the old lady was willing to let her try.

Since the call didn't go through, Li Qingwen called Zhou Xixiang and asked for the address of his grandmother's house.

Zhou Xixiang said, "Mom is probably not at grandma's house right now. Even if she is, she should come out. Otherwise, with so many things happening in Huayu these days, my uncle and his family will call and ask about it."

Li Qingwen asked: "Then do you know where she might have gone?"

Zhou Xixiang sent Li Qingwen an address: "When my mother ran away from home when she was young, she always went to this place."

The address is in Licheng, a village near the edge of Licheng.

Li Qingwen glanced at the time. If they set out now, it would be almost evening when they arrived there.

I didn’t expect that my mother-in-law would get so angry when looking at such an optimistic person.

Two hours later, Li Qingwen parked his car in an open area, got out of the car and ran straight to the place where there were lights.

She opened the photo album on her mobile phone, found the few photos of Luo Zijin, and asked the local villagers.

Luo Zijin had finished dinner and was sitting on a bamboo chair by a grassy stream, holding a fishing rod in his hand and a flashlight tied to his forehead.

Several children held fishing rods and as soon as Luo Zijin brought up the fishing rod, they scooped up the crayfish.

The children screamed with joy: "Another big lobster!"

Li Qingwen's appearance obviously scared Luo Zijin. She didn't expect Li Qingwen to find this place.

After throwing the fishing rod and the lights to the children, Luo Zijin took off the flashlight, held it in his hand, put away his childishness and regained his maturity.

"Aunt Luo, why don't you answer the phone?" Li Qingwen hesitated for a moment and then shouted.

When Luo Zijin heard her distant name, he sighed and said, "I'll go back when I've had enough fun."

The two walked in the dark fields. The sky in the village was much darker than in the city. Li Qingwen said, "Your family is very concerned about you. Let's go back tomorrow."

"Care about me, why would you come here if you care about me? Who was the one who told you I was here, why didn't he come?"

Luo Zijin recalled that when he was young, Zhou Chunsheng would always come here. This time, it has been almost a month and he still hasn't come.

She had already made up her mind that she would wait here until Zhou Chunsheng came. If he didn't come, she would live here for the rest of her life.

"You know that my eldest brother is very busy and can't leave. Because of me... After Father Zhou stepped down as chairman, he went to the mountains." Li Qingwen said.

Luo Zijin turned her head and said, "Didn't the old lady go to the hospital? Why wasn't he with her in the ward?"

What the family was thinking was, "Is the old lady's condition... serious?"

The old lady fell ill, and as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she left her mother alone. She felt guilty about it. The longer the time went on, the more Luo Zijin dared not go back to face the matter.

"The old lady's condition is stable. She asked me to call you back." Li Qingwen said.
