The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

After ending the call with Liang Liangwei, Yan Zhixu put his phone aside and continued signing documents.

He quickly signed the document and handed it back to Xu Chaofeng.

Xu Chaofeng carefully put the documents away one by one, and reminded her, "President Yan, tomorrow is Saturday. Given your condition, are you still going back to the old house?"

Yan Zhixu frowned.

Having dinner at the old house on Saturdays is a family rule set by Grandpa Yan many years ago. If someone has to travel for work, they must inform the family in advance.

Given his condition, it would be inconvenient for him to go back to the old house on his own; he would need someone to cover for him.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I will contact Bei'an in a bit."

Xu Chaofeng: "Should we tell him about the car accident?"

Yan Zhixu leaned back, carefully avoiding her injured shoulder, and closed her eyes: "Well, he's alright, as long as the old family home doesn't find out."

Xu Chaofeng remembered something and said, "President Yan, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that Young Master Bei'an called you last night. You were asleep at the time, and he called me again."

Yan Zhixu asked in a languid voice, "Did he need something from me?"

Xu Chaofeng: "Miss Liang couldn't find you, so she contacted Young Master Bei'an, and that's when he called. It seems to be related to Miss Lisa."

Yan Zhixu suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at him: "What's going on?"

Xu Chaofeng: "Young Master Bei'an didn't say it explicitly, but after comparing the information, I realized that Miss Liang suspected you of cheating last night. Young Master Bei'an probably called to verify this as well. After I politely declined, he suddenly asked if Miss Lisa had also come to China and asked me to remind you that Miss Liang was very angry. I asked him what Miss Liang's anger had to do with Miss Lisa, but he hung up without saying anything."

Yan Zhixu frowned slightly.

Recalling that Liang Liangwei had spent the entire day in the ward without showing any reaction related to this, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Xu Chaofeng glanced at his solemn profile and said in a low voice, "I suspect that Miss Liang may have misunderstood something. Mr. Yan, your phone is set to record automatically, why don't you listen to it yourself?"

Yan Zhixu took her phone, looked through the call log from last night, and played Liang Liangwei's recording.

After listening to Liang Liangwei's recording, Xu Chaofeng then played the recording of Yan Bei'an's call from his own phone.

After listening to the two recordings, Yan Zhixu frowned even more deeply.

He pressed Yan Bei'an's number and dialed it.

Yan Bei'an answered quickly: "Uncle? You remembered to contact me? What, finally woke up?"

It's been 24 hours already, he's clearly making a joke!

Yan Zhixu rebuked with a dark face, "Stop joking! I'm asking you, did you mention Lisa to Weiwei last night?"

Yan Bei'an was taken aback and quickly protested, "It wasn't me who mentioned it to her. She was the one who asked me if I knew who Lisa was."

Yan Zhixu was taken aback: "She asked you that?"

Yan Bei'an: "Yes."

Yan Zhixu: "What did you say?"

Yan Bei'an: "I'll just tell the truth and say that Lisa is your cousin who is not related to you by blood."

He paused, then hesitated before asking, "Uncle, is there anything... improper... about your relationship with that cousin?"

I originally wanted to say "improper," but I changed one word at the last minute.

But the word "abnormal" was clearly not a good word here, and Yan Zhixu's face immediately turned cold: "What did you say!"

Yan Bei'an hurriedly said, "It's not that I want to think that way. Weiwei first asked me if you had a girlfriend in America. She said she met a woman named Lisa these past few days, and after learning that your cousin is also named Lisa, she asked me if there was any possibility of you two getting together. Uncle, I'm your nephew, of course I'm on your side! I said, 'Impossible! I'm a devoted and loyal man. You're my only girlfriend. Even if Lisa is beautiful, I wouldn't even glance at her!'"

These words are full of a survival instinct.

Yan Zhixu precisely grasped one of the key points: "She said she met Lisa? How did she meet her?"

Yan Bei'an: "She didn't say that, Uncle. Did I say something wrong? I told her that Lisa and you are not related by blood..."

Yan Zhixu's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't mention this matter to Weiwei again."

Sensing the coldness in his uncle's words, Yan Bei'an inexplicably shrank back: "I...I understand..."

Yan Zhixu: "Hang up."

Seeing that he had actually hung up the phone, Xu Chaofeng hurriedly reminded him, "President Yan, you forgot to tell Young Master Bei'an about returning to the old house tomorrow night."

"..."

Yan Zhixu pinched the bridge of her nose and then flicked it back.

Yan Bei'an answered again immediately, his tone cautious: "Uncle?"

Yan Zhixu took a deep breath and said, "You made me so angry that I forgot to talk about the important matter."

Yan Bei'an: "..."

Yan Zhixu: "I had a little accident last night and got injured. I'm staying in the hospital. I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't answer your and Weiwei's calls yesterday. Don't misunderstand."

Yan Bei'an was shocked: "Injured? Uncle, are you seriously injured? What happened?"

Yan Zhixu patiently replied, "It was just a minor car accident, nothing serious."

Yan Bei'an: "Does Weiwei know?"

Yan Zhixu: "I've already told her, and she's been here with me all day today."

Yan Beian: "Which hospital are you in? I'm coming to see you now."

Yan Zhixu politely declined: "It's too late, I don't need it for now. I called you to tell you that I'm going back to the old house tomorrow night. I can cover up my injuries with my clothes, but I'm afraid your grandfather might notice something and worry him. So I'm letting you know so you can come back with me tomorrow night and help me cover it up."

Yan Bei'an quickly replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll come see you tomorrow morning."

Yan Zhixu: "Let's go this afternoon, and go back together."

Yan Bei'an: "That works too."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhixu turned to Xu Chaofeng: "Check tomorrow how Lisa and Weiwei got in touch."

Xu Chaofeng had already overheard this from his conversation with Yan Beian, and immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Yan."

After Xu Chaofeng left, Yan Zhixu sat on the bed with a solemn expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Liang Liangwei, who was watching a TV series on her bed, received a call from Yan Bei'an.

"Weiwei, why didn't you tell me about Uncle's injury and hospitalization?"

Liang Liangwei was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Yan Bei'an: "My uncle just called me and told me."

Liang Liangwei: "He told you?"

But it was clearly him who told her not to spread the word this morning, and he even specifically told her not to tell Yan Bei'an, because he was afraid that it would be bad if too many people knew.

Why did you say it again now?

Yan Bei'an: "My uncle is going back to the old house tomorrow night and asked me to help him smooth things over with Grandpa."

Liang Liangwei was startled: "He was injured like that and he still went back to the old house?"

Yan Bei'an: "Is it serious?"

Liang Liangwei: "I had a concussion, and I had more than a dozen stitches on my face and shoulder. My knees are also badly bruised, and it's difficult for me to walk."

Yan Bei'an's heart skipped a beat: "This...is it that serious? Are there any fractures?"

Liang Liangwei: "I don't think so. I can still get out of bed and walk around."

If there is a fracture, a catheter will be inserted for urination and defecation.

Yan Bei'an asked worriedly, "My uncle asked me to visit him tomorrow afternoon. What about you? Are you going tomorrow too?"

Liang Liangwei: "Sure, I'll go tomorrow morning."

Yan Bei'an: "After you get there, take a picture of my uncle's injury so I can feel at ease."

Liang Liangwei: "Okay."

After a moment of silence, Liang Liangwei sensed that Yan Bei'an seemed hesitant to speak, so she took the initiative to ask him, "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
