After a long wait, Mrs. Qin's condition finally stabilized.

The family outside the operating room breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Qin was sent to the ward.

Outside the ward, Shen Yunzhong stopped several people who were about to enter the room to visit.

"Your grandpa's side is not going well."

Shen Yunzhong's voice broke the brief silence.

"He kept it a secret from the hospital and was forced to be discharged.

He suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage on the plane. Although he was rushed to the hospital immediately after getting off the plane, he remains in a coma and has not yet regained consciousness.

Shen Yun once again told everyone a piece of bad news that was like a bolt from the blue.

After that, Shen Yun suddenly pointed his spearhead at Yan Lan again and said viciously,

"It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, this unlucky star, your grandfather wouldn't have rushed to go abroad."

"Dad, how can you blame my sister-in-law for this?"

When Qin Shengsheng heard this, he felt full of self-blame, his eyes slightly red, and he hurriedly defended Yan Lan,

"Grandpa wanted to go abroad. Was it his own decision or was it me who sent him there?"

"I do have some responsibility for this matter."

Upon learning that the old man was in a coma, Yan Lan felt sadder than anyone else. The scenes of her previous interactions with her grandfather kept appearing in her mind, and she was filled with regret.

She should have thought long ago that her grandfather was old and in poor health, and was not suitable for recuperation abroad, let alone long-distance flights.

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Seeing Yan Lan blaming herself, Qin Shi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Just now when Shen Yunzhong was yelling at Yan Lan, he had already clenched his fists, suppressing his inner anger.

If he hadn't considered that his mother was still in the operating room and her life was in danger, he would have rushed up to argue with Shen Yunzhong.

At this moment, he could no longer bear it and shouted loudly,

"Shen Yunzhong, don't forget who was the one who insisted on sending Grandpa abroad. I don't think you want Grandpa to stay in the country at all. You are the culprit who harmed Grandpa."

"It was your grandmother's decision to let your grandfather go abroad."

Shen Yunzhong was choked by Qin Shi's words and his face turned pale and red. He sneered and said calmly,

"If you have anything to say, just tell your grandma."

As he spoke, he raised the phone in his hand with a proud look on his face.

Only then did Qin Shi notice that the call on the other end of the phone had already been connected.

The expressions of Qin Shi and Qin Shengsheng, brother and sister, became somewhat solemn. Compared with Old Man Qin, Old Madam Qin usually had a serious face, rarely showed emotions, and was not very close to the brother and sister.

Yan Lan's attention was unconsciously drawn to the small cell phone. She felt both nervous and curious, wondering what the old lady of the Qin family's attitude would be.

An old lady with a slightly serious face and meticulously combed white hair appeared in the video.

"grandmother."

Qin Shi and Qin Shengsheng both called out softly, with a hint of awe in their voices.

Before Yan Lan could speak, Qin Shi beside him said hurriedly,

"Grandma, this is Yan Lan, my wife."

Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin Shi hadn't introduced her in time, she really didn't know how to address the old lady of the Qin family.

"If I heard correctly just now, do you think I harmed your grandfather?"

Madam Qin's slightly majestic and cold voice came out clearly from the receiver of the mobile phone. It was obvious that she had heard all the conversations just now.

She sat in a luxuriously decorated yet somewhat cold and lonely room, with a row of bookshelves filled with various precious antiques behind her.

Her eyes passed through the screen of her mobile phone and swept across everyone one by one. Her eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if she could see through people's hearts.

Yan Lan noticed that her gaze seemed to have deliberately skipped over him, never staying on him for a moment from beginning to end, as if she were air.

"Grandma, that's not what I meant."

Qin Shi lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and depression in his voice.

He clenched his fists slightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, trying to suppress his inner dissatisfaction.

"Qin Shi, you are still the same as before, just as impulsive, speaking and doing things without thinking."

Madam Qin snorted coldly, frowning tightly, and the wrinkles on her face became more and more obvious.

"How can I trust you to leave the group in your hands when you're like this?"

The tone was as if he was examining a useless object, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with his grandson.

Qin Shi remained silent. From childhood to adulthood, Old Madam Qin and Shen Yunzhong had always been very critical of him and had never given him the recognition he deserved. He had long been accustomed to the feeling of being denied.

But at this moment, being scolded like this in front of his wife, he still felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"grandmother……"

Qin Shengsheng's eyes were full of worry, and she wanted to explain a few words to help her brother, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Old Madam Qin.

"Shengsheng, go inside and see your mother again. I have something to say to your brother and your father."

Madam Qin's tone left no room for doubt, and a hint of irresistible majesty flashed in her eyes.

Qin Shengsheng also bit her lip lightly, looked at her brother and Yan Lan helplessly, then turned and entered the ward.

Yan Lan stood there, feeling somewhat bewildered, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

She was about to follow Qin Shengsheng into the ward when her hand was suddenly grabbed by Qin Shi.

Qin Shi lowered his voice and said, "You stay. You are my wife. There is nothing that grandma wants to tell me that you cannot hear."

He spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, with a certain firmness, loud enough for Shen Yunzhong and Old Madam Qin on the phone to hear.

He held Yan Lan's hand tightly, and at the same time told his grandmother that Yan Lan was his wife.

Yan Lan tried to break free gently, but found that she couldn't get free for a while.

"Are you Yan Lan?"

Madam Qin's voice came from the phone, carrying the scrutiny that only a superior could muster.

Her eyes finally fell on Yan Lan through the screen, as if she was looking at a commodity waiting to be sold.

"You look pretty good. Since Qin Shi has spoken, you can stay."

There was a hint of reluctant agreement in his tone, as if it was a great blessing for Yan Lan to stay.

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly. We are all listening."

Shen Yunzhong's face was filled with an earnest smile. He leaned forward slightly and spoke to Old Madam Qin on the phone, his eyes flashing with unconcealable anticipation.

"Yun Chong, a lot of things have happened recently. I will take care of the old man."

Old Madam Qin sat upright on the chair, the sunlight outlined a layer of cold and hard outline on her figure. She paused, then said in an orderly manner,

"As for domestic affairs, I have already informed the other members of the board of directors that you will take over the group as acting chairman. Qin's management will be fully handed over to you from now on."

Her tone was steady, but every word she said was like a heavy hammer, stirring up waves in everyone's hearts.
