Seeing that Chu Lan was so insistent, Xu Tian had no choice but to give up. After confirming several times that Chu Lan was no longer angry, he drove her to the company and watched her go upstairs, while he went to the hospital.

Chu Lan arrived at his office, quickly organized some company business, and then went to the address Lin Wan'er had given him for the appointment.

Lin Wan'er arrived early, perhaps because she was eager to know what kind of person Chu Lan was, as her half-sister.

When Chu Lan appeared, Lin Wan'er was surprisingly calm, whereas she had expected to be nervous.

"Sit down." Lin Wan'er nodded with a smile.

Chu Lan glanced at her, then calmly sat down opposite her.

Lin Wan'er gently stirred her coffee, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry. "Chu Lan... I didn't expect the president of the Xu Group to be so young. But I've always been curious about what kind of woman is the one that everyone in Jiangcheng talks about who is so outstanding."

Chu Lan smiled faintly, "Curious? Or simply want to compare? Lin Wan'er, I've never liked beating around the bush."

"Just say what you have to say."

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air, yet they maintained a delicate balance with impeccable politeness. Lin Wan'er's hand paused slightly before she continued twirling the coffee spoon, while Chu Lan gently stroked the table, her fingertips carrying an undeniable firmness.

"Watch your attitude!" Xiao Qi scolded from the side.

As Lin Wan'er's bodyguard, he dared to speak out against Chu Lan even though Lin Wan'er hadn't said anything. Without a doubt, it was probably with Lin Wan'er's permission, to see how bold Chu Lan was.

Chu Lan raised his eyes and smiled faintly, "You're already biting people before your master has even spoken. It seems you haven't been disciplined properly. How about I teach you for a couple of days and then send you back? I guarantee you'll be obedient!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er's lips twitched slightly. She then ordered Xiao Qi to go outside and wait. Xiao Qi glared at Chu Lan and reluctantly went out.

“You are indeed more capable than anyone I’ve met here,” Lin Wan’er said with a smile.

Chu Lan snorted, "How dare he do that without your permission?"

"Let's not beat around the bush. What did you call me here for today? There's no need to pretend anymore."

Lin Wan'er smiled and continued, "You really are a straightforward person. I called you here because I have something to talk about. Nowadays, the cosmetics of Meiyi Group have occupied most of the market share. If you know what's good for you, don't make any more futile struggles."

"After all, the things you did a while ago are of no consequence to our MeiYi Group!"

Chu Lan smiled calmly, "Then let's give it a try. The universe is set in stone, and who can say for sure?"

Seeing that Chu Lan's words were watertight, Lin Wan'er changed the subject and continued, "I heard that your company's president is actually Xu Tian. It's ridiculous that he doesn't come out to handle the company crisis and leaves it to you, a woman!"

"Is it ridiculous? I don't think so."

Chu Lan became increasingly composed. "What you perceive as a company crisis is nothing more than a trivial matter in his eyes. Does he really need to handle it personally?"

Lin Wan'er has always been the one who tramples on others and does whatever she wants. She beats those she wants to beat to death and orders Xiao Qi to deal with those she doesn't like. But today, after meeting Chu Lan, she doesn't feel like she's getting any sweetness from him.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er was furious. "Don't be so arrogant. One day you'll have to beg me!"

Seeing this, Chu Lan immediately stood up, grabbed her bag, and said, "Excuse me, I'm not interested in children's bickering. Please excuse me."

After saying that, he left without paying any attention to the surprised look Lin Wan'er gave him.

Seeing that the person had left, Xiao Qi hurriedly came in from outside. "Boss, should we teach her a lesson?"

Lin Wan'er glared at him but didn't say anything.

What are you doing hitting her? It's none of your business to hit her! She's my sister!

Even Lin Wan'er herself didn't realize that since learning the truth from Lin Zhentian last night, she had wholeheartedly accepted the fact that she had this older sister.

Having failed to gain any advantage from Chu Lan, Lin Wan'er still had to vent her anger. As soon as she returned to the company, she immediately had someone summon Chen Feng.

Chen Feng is now the nominal president of Hengtong Group. Even the servile attitude he used to have when facing Lin Wan'er has completely disappeared because of his current status. He now treats her as an equal, but unfortunately, he only gets a lecture in return.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"

Chen Feng, his face bruised and swollen, begged for mercy.

Lin Wan'er then told Xiao Qi to stop, "Recognize your place. In my eyes, you'll always be just a dog!"

"Yes, yes, I am a dog, woof woof woof woof, please don't hit me anymore."

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"What's done is done. Hengtong Group's production lines are now all producing cosmetics for Meiyi Group, and they'll be on the market soon." Chen Feng didn't even dare to lift his head.

"Then get out."

As soon as Lin Wan'er finished speaking, Chen Feng scrambled out of the office. Only after walking out of the Meiyi Group's gate did Chen Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Wan'er was ruthless, he always felt that the beating he received today was because Lin Wan'er had taken out her anger on him after being wronged by someone else. But then he thought, what kind of person could a woman like Lin Wan'er be wronged by? So he dismissed the idea.

Just then, Zhang Qian called, and Chen Feng answered it irritably.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Qian's voice came through, "Did you do what I told you? If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one!"

Chen Feng said impatiently, "What's your rush? If you can't do it, then you do it! Taking down Chu Lan, isn't that what you wanted to do too?"

The phone rang, and Zhang Qian hung up.

Chen Feng is such a useless piece of trash. It's been so many days, and she still hasn't seen Chu Lan's reputation ruined. On top of that, Li Cui, who had a bad start, not only caused a scene at the hospital but also made her go to the police station to bail her out. Both of them are like good-for-nothings. If this continues, Chu Lan and Xu Tiansheng will have already made love, and it won't be her turn anymore.

"When do you plan to rescue your brother?" Li Cui asked from the side.

Zhang Qian was extremely annoyed. "Do you think it's that easy to get someone out of prison?"

Li Cui snorted coldly, "It's not easy, but you haven't done anything these past few days. Heaven will know whether you really want to save your brother!"

Zhang Qian said angrily, "If you're so capable, go and get him out! You rely on me for everything, what kind of ability do I have!"

Li Cui's eyes darted around a few times without saying a word. Instead, she turned and went back to her room, even locking the door behind her. Only after confirming that Zhang Qian wouldn't follow her in did she take out her phone and send a text message.
