Lan Yuxi frowned, "Should we tell Nan Yao?"
Nan Xiao shook his head, "Forget it. We were brothers once, and I didn't do much for him. He has no feelings for Qiu Shuying anymore. Telling him would only upset him. It's better not to."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips, "Alright. Did Nan Yao say anything about his future plans?"
"He didn't, and I didn't ask." Nan Xiao glanced at her, "Nan Shi used to be managed by him..."
"Stop!" Lan Yuxi shot him a sidelong glance, "Nan Shi is mine now! He can forget about bossing me around on my territory!"
Nan Xiao chuckled and ruffled her hair, "Finally admitting Nan Shi is yours."
Lan Yuxi pouted, "Whether I admit it or not, my name is on the legal documents. If anything goes wrong, I'll have to bear the legal responsibility!"
"I don't intend for him to return to Nan Shi. I don't know why, but after he came back this time, I suddenly couldn't connect with him anymore... What I mean is, he managed Nan Shi for so many years, I want to give him a sum of money, enough to ensure he and that child are well-provided for."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "I'll transfer ten billion to him later. Once he settles on a place to live, I'll buy him two more properties... Then, from our dividends each quarter, we'll give him twenty percent. That should be enough for him to live out his years comfortably."
Nan Xiao smiled and held her tighter, "Thank you."
Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, "No need to thank me! If I hadn't said anything, you would have given it anyway. It's better for me to be upfront about it."
Nan Xiao smiled and said, "Then you're losing out. I just wanted to give him some money, not share our dividends with him."
"If we don't give him dividends, he'll definitely feel uncomfortable, and it won't look good to others. What about Qiu Shuying's assets? Everything she owns now was inherited from Nan Yao."
"By rights, it should be fifty-fifty, but Qiu Shuying is currently a mentally ill person with no criminal responsibility. They can't divide this family for now."
Lan Yuxi was silent for a moment, "How is the woman who had Nan Yao's child?"
"Luan Qian is a moderately well-known writer. She's been living in country Y for years. I'm not too familiar with her; this is only the second time I've met her. I only found out recently that she had a child with Nan Yao."
"Luan Qian? The woman you risked your life to see last time? Honestly, I don't have a good impression of her. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been tricked. Luckily, my people were nearby, or that abandoned castle could have been your burial ground."
Nan Xiao stared at her blankly for a moment, then held her even tighter.
So, those people were Xi Bao's people. As she said, if her people hadn't opened fire from behind the enemy, even if he could have broken out, he and his men would have been injured at the very least.
Lan Yuxi was almost suffocated by his embrace. She patted his back, "Are you trying to murder me?"
Nan Xiao hastily released her, "I'm sorry, I got carried away."
Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes, "Every time you get excited, I'm the one who suffers."
Nan Xiao smiled and nudged her forehead, "I'll be more careful from now on."
Lan Yuxi pouted and leaned into his embrace for a short nap.
Before long, their car arrived at the psychiatric ward.
Nan Xiao had spoken to the director in advance. It didn't take long for Qiu Shuying's examination results to come out.
Qiu Shuying did indeed have schizophrenia, and it was quite severe.
Lan Yuxi looked at her examination report. She could treat this illness, but she couldn't. If she were to cure her, there was a high possibility of suicide.
"Then I'll entrust her to your care, Director."
Hearing her say this, Nan Xiao knew she wouldn't intervene. He gave the director a few more instructions, left a servant behind, and took Lan Yuxi back to the villa on the mountainside.
Before they could even sit down, Nan Zhenting anxiously asked, "Qiu Shuying has really gone mad?"
Lan Yuxi nodded.
"Can she be cured?" Nan Zhenting asked again.
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips, "What's the point of curing her? Does she want to watch her husband, whom she's waited for for so many years, happily together with another woman?"
Nan Zhenting sighed, "But a psychiatric ward isn't a place for people to be!"
"The director is giving you face, arranging a private room for her and allowing a servant to care for her. I've seen where she's staying. It's far from other patients, and no one can disturb her. Let's wait and see what Nan Yao intends to do. If he returns to country Y with Luan Qian, it won't be too late to cure her."
Nan Zhenting closed his eyes, "I sent Luan Qian abroad out of pity back then. Who knew she would end up having a child."
Lan Yuxi asked with a smile, "Do you want to see your eldest grandson? If you do, I can bring him over."
Nan Zhenting glared at her, "My eldest grandson's name is Lan Yin Zhe!"
Chao Chao, who was playing with a plane model with Han Yi not far away, smirked almost imperceptibly.
Next, Nan Xiao repeated to his father what Lan Yuxi had told him in the car.
After listening, Nan Zhenting looked deeply at Lan Yuxi, "You're just a tough-talking soft-hearted girl!"
Lan Yuxi spread her hands, "Nan Xiao at least calls him big brother. I can't make Nan Xiao difficult, can I?"
"Enough, let's not talk about them. It only makes me more annoyed." Nan Zhenting rubbed his temples, "Third Master, another round?"
Elder Duan, seeing that he was truly vexed, took out the chess pieces from under the coffee table.
Lan Yuxi watched the game for a while before getting up and going to the kitchen.
The grandmother, who was busy, smiled when she saw her enter, "Sister Xi'er, you're back!"
Lan Yuxi looked at her flour-covered face and then at the kneading board, "What are you making?"
Mumu, half-crouched on a chair, shook a ball of dough with a smile, "Mommy, we're making a cake. We can eat it soon."
Lan Yuxi saw that her daughter's face was also covered in flour and couldn't help but laugh, "You guys continue. If one bag of flour isn't enough, get another one."
Nai Nai smiled, "Sister Xi'er, you don't think we can make a cake?"
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh, you caught me?"
"I'm not stupid." Nai Nai said with a smile, "I've learned it specifically. Don't worry, you'll definitely be eating a delicious cake in half an hour."
Lan Yuxi praised her generously before saying to the busy cook, "Make a few light dishes for dinner tonight."
Nan Xiao must be really tired by now. Too much grease, she was afraid he wouldn't be able to eat it.
After the family finished dinner, Lan Yuxi made several phone calls in the study. Some matters needed to be readjusted due to Nan Yao's resurrection and the return of Lingyun's mother and Jinsong's father to the team.
