She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

The girl blushed instantly and staggered back two steps after being rebuked by Zhou Lan.

She finally lowered her proud head and said humbly.

"I'll go tell the president right away, Madam will be here shortly."

Zhou Lan's sudden arrival immediately displeased Shen Pei'an.

Shen Pei'an waved his hand, originally intending to have his secretary stop Zhou Lan from going back, signaling the shareholders to continue the meeting.

But then the secretary whispered something in Shen Pei'an's ear, and Shen Pei'an's face darkened. He had no choice but to interrupt the meeting and leave.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Upon seeing Zhou Lan in the office, Shen Pei'an immediately stormed over to her in a rage.

"Your good daughter has caused so much trouble outside, and now the entire Lin Group is cleaning up her mess, and you still want to come here and make a scene!"

Zhou Lan sneered and slowly stirred the coffee in her hand.

"Lin Group? What a joke! Since the group changed its name, when have you ever treated this place as the Lin Group? I bet the moment I die, the group will take your surname, Shen!"

In recent years, Shen Pei'an has rarely seen Zhou Lan speak so sharply. He knows that Zhou Lan's weakness is the Lin Group, so as long as he doesn't cross her bottom line, Zhou Lan has always turned a blind eye.

The sudden attack caught Shen Pei'an off guard.

He immediately came to his senses and flew into a rage.

"Zhou Lan, don't go too far!"

"Am I being unreasonable?" Zhou Lan tilted her head and looked at Shen Pei'an.

"Over the years, you've been using the Lin Group to launder the reputation of your businesses. I've also heard you're trying to get involved with political connections? What if I were to expose some of your scandalous affairs now? What would happen to your future?"

"Zhou Lan!" Shen Pei'an exclaimed in surprise.

He strode forward, squinted, and stared directly at Zhou Lan.

"Are you crazy? How dare you threaten me? Don't forget we're in this together. If anything happens to me, you won't get away either."

Shen Pei-an threatened coldly, and Zhou Lan glanced at Shen Pei-an and said coldly.

"Shen Pei'an, don't take me for a fool. Have you forgotten how you married into my family in the first place?"

Shen Pei'an took two steps back in shock, his face clearly showing his guilt.

He even started to stammer, "What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm saying," Zhou Lan said coldly.

She stood up. "Instead of wasting your time on meetings, why don't you go talk to the Fu family and tell them to marry Yu Yan as soon as possible!"

“You…” Shen Pei’an was speechless for a moment.

Zhou Lan continued, "You know what that Fu family brat did for us back then. If you want to clean up your mess, you'd better get those two married as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhou Lan turned and left.

Shen Pei'an stood there, clenching his fists tightly.

But after a while, he called his secretary in, looking rather dejected.

"Contact the Fu family's old residence; I want to see their patriarch."

After Zhou Lan left the Li Group, the butler who was driving her told her that the paternity test results were in, and Jiang Jiuge was indeed Lin Qingran.

Zhou Lan was not surprised by the result; she simply brought the report over and glanced at it.

She then instructed the housekeeper, "Make another report. Destroy this report and don't let anyone know about it except me, including Yu Yan. Also, in a few days it will be the second anniversary of Lin Qingran's death. As her mother, I want to hold another memorial service for her, move her grave, find an auspicious place, and give her a grand burial."

The butler was stunned. "Madam..."

"Do as I say, and don't worry about anything else."

-

In the hospital room, Lin Qingran was quietly organizing the paintings she would be using for her upcoming overseas art exhibition in a few days.

After a day of online commotion, Lin Qingran realized that things had achieved the desired effect, so she lost interest and simply tossed her phone aside, no longer paying attention to the progress of the matter.

Whether or not things end well is ultimately the Lin family's business.

At that moment, Susukino pushed open the door and walked in.

"Sister, breaking news."

He handed the tablet computer to Lin Qingran, who looked at it and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"The Fu family has actually relented?"

"Yes, even the official account of the Fu Group has released a message saying that Lin Yuyan and Fu Xiuheng are already engaged and will be holding their wedding soon."

Lin Qingran smiled and said, "Wouldn't people online be going to tear them apart with insults?"

Just as the rumors about Fu Xiuheng and Lin Yuyan were trending on social media, instead of clarifying the situation, they announced their marriage.

What about the self that once existed?

Is he a clown?

“There’s a rumor going around,” Bo Ye said sarcastically.

"I heard that Shen Pei'an came in person. After Shen Pei'an left, Old Master Fu went to the hospital. Fu Xiuheng's mother, Zhang Shuizhi, stayed at the hospital for a while before going to the Fu Group. I heard that Fu Xiuheng has also rushed to the hospital. As for who announced the marriage..."

Fu Xiuheng's father passed away early, and the family business was managed by Old Master Fu.

The old man was already in his sixties when Fu Xiuheng took over his work, allowing him to retire behind the scenes.

However, Zhang Shuizhi had always been dissatisfied with Old Master Fu's control of the government. She felt that the old man was autocratic and refused to give her any opportunities.

She always felt that as Fu Xiuheng's biological mother, she was naturally qualified to join the Fu Group.

This dissatisfaction with the old man was also transferred to Lin Qingran.

The days when I was working under her weren't easy either.

However, Zhang Shuizhi didn't even consider that if she were to run the Fu Group, would it have survived to this day?

Lin Qingran revealed a mocking smile and leaned back.

"Grandpa Fu is now hospitalized from anger, so Zhang Shuizhi finally has a voice. I just don't know if her son can accept it."

Bo Ye revealed a strange expression. "I heard that the old man was sent to this hospital."

"Oh?" Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow.

"Then I have to pray that Fu Xiuheng will stop bothering me."

“There’s another piece of news,” Bo Ye said.

"The Fu family just announced that the two of them were going to get married, and then the Lin family also released a statement saying that they were going to move your grave."

Lin Qingran suddenly felt nauseous, as if she had swallowed a fly.

Fortunately, she didn't die. If she had, she probably would have been so angry at the Lin family's outrageous actions that she would have come back to life.

"Judging from their current actions, they're trying to sacrifice the pawns to save the king," Lin Qingran said.

It doesn't matter what their reputation is like outside. The internet doesn't remember anything anyway. At worst, they can show off their love after they get married, keep their presence in the public eye, and then fabricate some news. Netizens will naturally say that Lin Qingran is the mistress.
