Lan Yuxi smiled and said, "No problem, the venue is very large. I was considering changing to a smaller one back then, but now I don't have to."
Mu Luxi nodded with a smile, as long as the venue was big enough. "Do you want me to bring some people to help decorate the venue?"
"No need, I'm officially starting my summer vacation tomorrow, I'll bring people over."
Mu Luxi chuckled, "You do everything, won't your Mr. Nan worry about you?"
"I'm not doing any actual work, just giving orders. What's there to worry about? By the way, I plan to take the two children to Norcas for a few days after the matchmaking event. Do you and Huo Ding want to go together as an early honeymoon?"
Mu Luxi's eyes lit up instantly, clearly tempted.
Huo Ding nudged her and whispered, "Let's hear what the boss has to say first. If the boss agrees to let her take the children, then we'll go together."
Lan Yuxi tilted her ear to listen to their conversation. Although Huo Ding's voice was already quite low, she could still hear him.
Lan Yuxi smiled helplessly. This Huo Ding was so used to being suppressed by Nan Xiao that he had to listen to his boss about everything.
"No need to ask your boss, I've already discussed it with him. After Nainai is discharged from the hospital, we'll accompany her back to Norcas together."
Hearing her say this, Huo Ding then readily agreed.
"By the way, how is Island Master Xin today? Has his blood pressure gone down?"
Mu Luxi replied, "It has come down. They were supposed to be discharged this afternoon, but Mr. Shu was worried and wanted them to stay one more night."
Lan Yuxi was relieved to know that everything was fine at the hospital. After hanging up, she pushed open the door and walked out.
Just then, Nan Xiangdong returned.
"Madam."
Nan Xiangdong intended to go upstairs after greeting her, but Lan Yuxi called him to a halt.
"You've returned at the perfect time, I have something I want to ask you to do."
Nan Xiangdong was slightly stunned. "What is it, Madam can just tell me directly."
"Follow me." Lan Yuxi led Nan Xiangdong back to the study. "You know about An Zhengdao's matter, right?"
"I was out all day today and haven't contacted Xiang Nan. What, is he causing trouble again?"
Lan Yuxi explained An Zhengdao's intentions and how Nan Xiangnan had bought out their father-son relationship with money to Nan Xiangdong.
Nan Xiangdong's hand, resting by his side, clenched into a fist.
"How can there be such parents in this world!"
He was an orphan, without parents, so he didn't crave familial affection. But Xiang Nan not only craved it but also looked forward to it. His hundred percent trust in An Qian and his care for An Cheng was enough to prove how much he valued this family bond, only to have it ruthlessly strangled by An Zhengdao.
How heartbroken must Xiang Nan be!
"I'll go up and persuade him."
Lan Yuxi raised her hand to stop him. "I just finished trying to persuade him. I've asked him to digest it first. I called you over for another matter."
Nan Xiangdong stopped and gestured with his eyes for her to continue.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly. "There's not only family affection in this world, but also love and friendship. He has friendship, and now he's lacking love. He needs a woman as soft as water to break through the ice surrounding him, drop by drop.
Although you all agreed to go to the matchmaking event at Nan Xiao's request, I know your agreement was just verbal, because you are all used to obeying. However, I'm sure you're all just going through the motions this time."
Nan Xiangdong's eyes flickered, and he dared not meet Lan Yuxi's gaze.
Lan Yuxi saw his expression and knew she had guessed correctly. "I hope you all put your heart into it this time, not just for yourselves, but also for Xiang Nan."
Nan Xiangdong looked at her with some difficulty. "I can try to persuade the three of them, but I can't. Because the substitutes for the heads of the Nan family throughout the generations are not allowed to marry."
Lan Yuxi stared at him with a furrowed brow for a long time. It wasn't until Nan Xiangdong lowered his head that she said sternly, "As the Madam of the Nan family, how come I don't know about this rule? Nan Xiangdong, if you try to fob me off with this excuse again, I'll kick you out of the Nan family."
Nan Xiangdong was startled and looked up at her abruptly. "Madam, you absolutely cannot do that. I am the last resort for the head of the family..."
Lan Yuxi said sternly, "His last resort is me!"
"I know Madam is stronger than me, but..." Nan Xiangdong pursed his lips and said timidly, "But... that rule, although not explicitly written down, is how it has been for all the substitutes of past family heads."
"Rules that are inhumane must be rewritten by me!" Lan Yuxi glanced at him coldly. "What era is this, and you're still so pedantic."
Nan Xiangdong sighed. "Okay, I'll try to put my heart into it, but whether it succeeds will depend on fate."
"It's not about trying, it's about must. If you don't take the lead, the other three will definitely be going for nothing. However, it's okay if it doesn't work out this time, because I will keep holding such matchmaking events until all four of you are out of the single life."
Keep holding them indefinitely?!
Nan Xiangdong raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Finally, under Lan Yuxi's gaze, he fled in a panic.
Lan Yuxi watched his retreating figure and a triumphant smile appeared on her face. "I'll be going this weekend too. If I see any of you slacking off, I'll deal with you!"
Nan Xiangdong stumbled, almost falling.
Lan Yuxi suppressed a smile and closed the door. There was also Luo Shiyi. She didn't want to persuade him; it was too draining for her brain cells. She'd leave it to her master.
Lan Yuxi had intended to call her master but then remembered she hadn't visited her master and mistress for a while, so she gave up the idea and decided to go to the Hongmen tomorrow to discuss it when she saw her master.
Just as she put down the phone, a knock came from the door.
Lan Yuxi quickly got up and opened the door, seeing Elder Duan, and smiled, ushering him in.
"Master, you're back."
"I'm back." Elder Duan glanced at the desk, not seeing what he wanted, and looked disappointed. "Um, could you give me a few invitations to your matchmaking event?"
Lan Yuxi blinked. "Master, are you trying to find a mistress for me?"
Elder Duan pointed at her angrily. "If you were my real disciple, I would have slapped you away!"
Lan Yuxi stepped forward with a smile, as if daring him.
Elder Duan glared at her impatiently. "I'm not asking for myself, I'm asking for those little rascals at home."
"Ah?" Lan Yuxi felt that this matchmaking event might be getting out of hand. It was originally a small-scale event, but first, those minor noble families contacted Huo Ding, then Jiu Wan joined, and now the Duan family has come.
Two of the four great families have come, no, three families! Because there is also their Nan family. Although the people attending from the Nan family are not young masters or young ladies, Xiang Dong and the other three are all people closest to Nan Xiao.
