Hearing this, Qin Shi frowned suddenly, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.

Madam Qin's meaning was obvious: she wanted to completely hand over the Qin family to Shen Yunzhong's care.

"Grandma, mother is awake."

Qin Shi's tone was calm.

"Mother has been serving as acting chairman for many years. Shouldn't you consult her opinion before making any decisions?

After all, mother is the only child of you and grandpa."

He raised his head slightly and looked straight at Madam Qin on the phone screen.

Qin Shi knew clearly that this was not only about fighting for his mother's due rights, but also about the future direction of the Qin Group.

He recalled his mother's busy figure in the group when he was a child, and the days when she worked day and night for the development of Qin's. Now his mother's hard work seemed to be easily transferred to others, which made him unable to sit idly by.

When my mother and father were together, there was a huge uproar in the family.

I heard that my grandfather was strongly opposed to this marriage, but my grandmother agreed with it, and her attitude was very firm at that time.

In the end, my grandfather couldn't persuade my grandmother and mother, and after considering many things, he agreed to the marriage.

And now, facing such a major decision on the group's affairs, Qin Shi couldn't help but wonder, doesn't grandma consider his mother's feelings?

"Your mother has been in poor health these past few years, and your father has been assisting her."

Madam Qin's expression was indifferent, and her words were full of unquestionable toughness.

"As for you, you've been with the group for so long, yet you haven't been able to help your mother. This clearly shows you don't have the management talent in this area. The board of directors and I made this decision after careful consideration."

Her tone grew colder.

Yan Lan felt the hand holding her tremble slightly.

She glanced at Qin Shi and saw that he was pursing his lips tightly. At this moment, an irresistible impulse surged in Yan Lan's heart.

"Madam, you are wrong."

Yan Lan took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, his voice clear and firm,

“It’s not that Qin Shi was without talent.

In the past few months, he has brought Qinqi back from the brink of bankruptcy. In addition, he has also facilitated the cooperation between Qin and X Research Institute.

She raised her chin slightly and looked directly at Old Lady Qin on the phone screen.

"I think you've been abroad for too long and you're no longer familiar with the situation back home."

When saying this, Yan Lan could feel the dissatisfied look from Shen Yunzhong.

But she couldn't care less about these things. At the moment, she was full of thoughts of clearing Qin Shi's name and hoped that Old Madam Qin would reconsider her judgment of Qin Shi.

"How dare you! How dare you talk to your elders like that?"

Shen Yunzhong scolded loudly, his voice echoing in the slightly empty corridor.

He took a step forward and pointed at Yan Lan. In his opinion, Yan Lan, a junior, dared to openly refute Old Madam Qin. It was simply uneducated.

Qin Shi also looked at Yan Lan beside him with some surprise. His eyes widened slightly, full of surprise.

The two of them were still angry yesterday and had been in a cold war for a while. But now, she stood up without hesitation and argued for herself.

Qin Shi was surprised and moved by the woman's transformation.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He was originally feeling a little depressed because of what Old Madam Qin said, but at this moment he suddenly felt like the sky was clearing up after the storm.

This feeling of being protected by the people you care about is like the warm sunshine in winter, which warms your heart and is really nice.

"Are you calling me an old-fashioned antique?"

The kindness that had been maintained on Old Madam Qin's face instantly cracked, and was replaced by anger after being offended. Her eyes shot towards Yan Lan like ice knives.

"You're just a little nurse, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about managing a company?"

She had already asked Shen Yunzhong to obtain all the information about Yan Lan.

In her eyes, Yan Lan was just an illegitimate daughter of a mistress, of humble origin.

Getting pregnant before marriage at such a young age was such an "immoral" behavior that she felt contempt for it.

Not to mention that she had severed ties with her family. In the eyes of the traditional and conservative Mrs. Qin, this was an act of treason.

At this moment, Yan Lan actually dared to contradict her, which made her dislike Yan Lan even more intense, and her tone became even more sarcastic.

“Grandma, I’ve already told you.

She is my wife.”

Qin Shi took a step forward, protecting Yan Lan firmly behind him, as if building an indestructible wall. His eyes were full of determination. He met Old Lady Qin's gaze directly and said firmly,

“Her words are what I mean.

I am also a member of the board of directors, and I do not agree with Shen Yunzhong serving as acting chairman."

"I don't recognize her as your wife."

Madam Qin's voice was sharp and cold, and she looked at Yan Lan with disgust in her eyes.

"How can an uneducated illegitimate daughter be worthy of being the future young lady of our Qin family?"

She paused for a moment, her tone becoming more stern, "I'll have someone abort the baby in her belly."

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Yan Lan. Yan Lan subconsciously protected her stomach with her hands, anger in her eyes.

"Grandma, that's my child. You can't decide what to do with my wife."

Qin Shi's brows were tightly furrowed, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly, his voice trembled slightly with anger, and the rage in his heart was already burning.

He never expected that his grandmother would be so cruel as to say such words.

"Since you want this wife and this child."

Madam Qin was not moved at all, her tone remained firm, leaving no room for compromise.

"Then I will formally inform you that from today onwards, you are no longer a member of the board of directors."

Her eyes were cold. In her eyes, anyone who disobeyed her will would be punished, even her own grandson.

"Mother, I don't agree with your decision."

Just as Qin Shi and Old Madam Qin were arguing with each other and the atmosphere was tense, the door of the ward slowly opened with a creak.

Mrs. Qin looked pale and sat weakly in a wheelchair. Qin Shengsheng, with a worried look on his face, carefully pushed her out.

The faces of both mother and daughter were filled with anxiety, and it was obvious that they had heard the argument outside in the ward.

"Why did you come out?"

Shen Yunzhong's face suddenly changed, and he quickly took a few steps to meet her. He stretched out his hand and tried to push Madam Qin back to the ward, while he kept saying,

"Don't worry, Mom won't harm us."

There was a soothing tone in his voice. Normally, Mrs. Jin always listened to him, but this time, Mrs. Qin was unusually firm. She pushed the other person's hand away.
