Although the Lan family's businesses didn't overlap much with theirs, they were both in the business world, and they had heard of Lan's father.

Wealthy families are often rife with infighting, but the Lan family stands out as a breath of fresh air.

Lan's father had two brothers, and he was the eldest and in charge of the company.

The second son of the Lan family is a professor at a university and a well-known figure in the education field.

The third son of the Lan family is a doctor who treats and saves lives in the medical field.

Neither brother had many material desires; each only took 10% of the shares. The three brothers had a very close relationship.

In the eyes of others, Lan's father was a very good man who had never had any scandals and had always kept himself clean.

Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he values ​​his family, loves his wife and children, goes home on time, and never attends unimportant social events.

It has been like this for many years, and it has a very good reputation. Everyone who meets it gives it a thumbs up.

Unexpectedly, the family was also in chaos. The biological mother was scheming against her own son and wanted to give all the shares to her daughter. Even if she loved her daughter, this was no way to do it!

Lan Xingyao never expected that he would hear different versions of the story regarding the shares.

Was his mother not simply forgetting to give him the shares, as he thought, but rather not wanting to give them to him at all?

why?

He is now in charge of most of the company's business. His father has delegated many things to him. If he didn't have shares, how could he control the company's veterans?

Lan Sitong doesn't even know how to manage a company. She spends money like water every day. If we give her all the shares, aren't we afraid she'll squander the company one day?

[As expected, the children of love and those born from business marriages are treated differently. Just because Lan Xingyao's father isn't the person she loves, she's treating someone else's son like this—that's too cruel!]

[He's her own son, after all; how could she do that?]

[Lan's father is also senile. Not only did he raise his rival's daughter, but he also raised her to be a princess, while turning his own son into a servant of the princess. What a tragic father and son!]

[Speaking of which, Blue Mother was the worst of all.]

[When she was young, she had someone she liked, but she didn't dare to defy her parents. Instead, she resented her arranged marriage partner, Mr. Lan, believing that his appearance was the reason she was separated from the person she loved.]

[Isn't this just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? What does it have to do with Lan's father? If you don't like someone, you can refuse them. Don't you know that even if you refuse Lan's father, there will be others, and the next one may not be as good as Lan's father?]

Over the years, with her father as her backer, her mother's family business was successfully revitalized, and she, as the matriarch, lived a very comfortable life.

Adorned in gold and silver, yet free from the struggles of fighting off mistresses—how many wealthy wives envy her? Compared to other wives, she looks ten years younger.

[While enjoying her life of luxury, she harbored resentment towards the Lan family father and son, never showing them a kind word.]

[It wasn't until she met the person she loved all those years ago again, and their long-awaited reunion ignited a passionate flame, that Lan Sitong came into being.]

[Lan's mother was both shocked and frightened, and uneasy, fearing that Lan's father would discover the truth and kick them out of the house. Only then did her attitude towards Lan's father improve, and she became kinder to him.]

[Lan's father had originally considered divorcing his wife to set her free because of her coldness, but unexpectedly, after Lan Sitong came into his life, his attitude towards him became even better, and he sometimes showed a considerate and gentle side.]

[Lan's father attributed all of this to Lan Sitong, believing that her appearance was what made his wife change her mind, and thus his affection for Lan Sitong increased.]

[Furthermore, Lan's mother constantly influenced him, instilling in him the idea that boys should be independent and girls should be pampered.]

Over time, Lan's father acquiesced to Lan's mother's favoritism, seeing it as a way to toughen Lan Xingyao up, and instead focused more of his attention on Lan Sitong.

Little did he know that the woman he doted on was his rival's daughter, and that his own wife didn't love him at all. All the tenderness and consideration he perceived was nothing more than ulterior motives and obsequious flattery.

[Her only son was completely neglected; most of the shares and money ended up in the pockets of the Lan family mother and daughter.]

[The Lan family father and son are just destined to be employees. In a few years, their assets will probably be completely transferred away by their mother.]

[Then that family of three will take their huge fortune abroad and live a carefree life, leaving the Lan family father and son in China to clean up the mess.]

Besides an empty shell company, they were left with a mountain of debt—it's truly tragic!

Yuan Yangyang pulled out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and while recalling the plot of the original book, she made some complaints.

Completely oblivious to the undisguised shock on the faces of the five people in the room, except for Lan Sitong, as they looked at her.

Father Yuan: ...

Is this really that explosive? You can hear these kinds of secrets about wealthy families without paying a penny?

As expected, every family has its own troubles. Mr. Lan is really pitiful. He raises other people's children and wives, only to raise ungrateful wretches who don't even care about his own son.

Looking at Lan Xingyao, who was tall and upright, her eyes unconsciously revealed sympathy.

What a wonderful child, what a pity.

Hearing about the Lan family's situation, Mr. Yuan felt his back straighten a bit.

Although his family also has a lot of unresolved issues, at least his wife won't cheat on him, and he won't raise his rival's daughter.

Although……

The daughter he's raising isn't his own.

Thinking about it this way, President Yuan became depressed again, and the energy he had just gained dissipated.

Yuan Siyu and Yuan Sicheng: Yangyang is amazing, how does she know so much?

The most shocked person present was Lan Xingyao. Upon hearing such explosive news, Lan Xingyao stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

From childhood to adulthood, his mother's attitude towards him and towards Lan Sitong was completely different.

When he was little, he thought that his mother didn't like him because he wasn't good enough or hard-working enough. But as Lan Sitong grew up, he realized that wasn't the case.

Even if Lan Sitong is completely useless and just a good-for-nothing spoiled rich girl, her mother will still like her.

Then, he comforted himself.

Lan Sitong is a girl, and she has been spoiled since she was a child, so it is only right that her parents love her more.

His mother must love him too, but because he is a boy, he has to protect his family from the wind and rain, so his mother's way of showing love to him is different from how she treats Lan Sitong.

She must be trying to grow up faster this way.

But now, everything he had previously believed has been overturned.

There was no such thing as a painstaking, restrained, and heavy love; there was only hatred for him as a result.

Although they are both her children, Lan Sitong is the child of someone she loves, so she extends her affection to her because of this connection.

As for Lan Xingyao, because he was the product of her marriage to her father and one of the factors that broke up her love, she hated him because of him.

How ironic.

Lan Xingyao wanted to deceive himself, thinking that this voice, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was talking nonsense and was all fake.

But the past experiences of being ignored and treated differently are still vivid in my mind.

He wasn't truly incapable of discernment, nor was he stupid; he was simply deceiving himself with self-suggestions.

If you don't get to the bottom of it, then you are still your mother's beloved child. She loves you, but she just doesn't know how to express that love.

But these inner thoughts were like a sharp scythe, slicing through the beautiful veil and revealing the truth he least wanted to admit.

She doesn't love herself.

She was not the child she had hoped for, and her father was not the support she wanted.
