Lan Yuxi's dark grape-like eyes immediately lit up upon hearing there was gossip to be had.
The siblings chatted about gossip in the lounge until three o'clock when the operating room doors finally opened.
Seeing that her sixth brother's face was ashen, Lan Yuxi quickly reached out to support him. "Sixth Brother, the food is kept warm for you. Go to the lounge and eat something first, then rest. I'll accompany Yin Lu to the ward."
Lan Xiao Liu waved his hand. "I'll eat later. I need to take her to the ICU first. There are things I need to explain to the attending physician."
"ICU? Yin Lu's surgery..." Lan Yuxi dared not ask further. She feared that if something happened to Yin Lu, and her sixth brother's heart knot remained untied, his life would be ruined.
"The surgery was very successful," Lan Xiao Liu said, reaching up to pat her head. "You should go back. Don't keep Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu waiting for you."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips and looked at Yin Lu, who was being wheeled out.
Lan Xiao Qi quickly walked over. "Xi'er, you should go home. Your sixth brother and I are here."
"Okay, I'll take one look and leave." Lan Yuxi walked to the gurney, leaned down to look at Yin Lu, and seeing that she hadn't opened her eyes, she looked at Lan Xiao Liu suspiciously. "Sixth Brother, why haven't you woken her up yet?"
Lan Xiao Liu let out a cold snort. "Even doctors find it difficult to wake up someone who is feigning sleep."
"Uh!"
Lan Yuxi shook her head helplessly. "Miss Yin, take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a large tear roll down Yin Lu's cheek.
"Why are you crying? Don't worry, my sixth brother said your surgery was very successful."
Yin Lu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lan Yuxi, who was leaning over her, without blinking. "I'm fine. I'm crying because I'm happy. I haven't lost my memory, which is wonderful!"
Lan Yuxi was stunned, then realized something and asked, "You kept delaying the surgery because you were afraid of losing your memory?"
Yin Lu muffled a reply.
Lan Xiao Liu was taken aback, then let out a cold snort.
His snort startled Yin Lu, who quickly closed her eyes.
Lan Yuxi, seeing her eyelashes trembling, looked at Lan Xiao Liu with a hint of helplessness.
Lan Xiao Liu felt his sister's stare and coughed lightly before quickly stepping into the elevator.
"Alas!" Lan Yuxi sighed softly and, after accompanying the medical staff to send Yin Lu to the ICU, she left.
Her sixth brother was a proud man. With outsiders present, he certainly couldn't speak to Yin Lu properly. But with no one else around, perhaps the two of them could quickly resolve their differences and reconcile.
The next morning, Lan Yuxi received a call from Lan Xiao Qi, who said her sixth brother had stayed by Yin Lu's side all night, but he didn't know what they had discussed.
Lan Yuxi felt that since they had talked, things should be fine. As for what would happen in the future, it would depend on their destiny. She, as an outsider, couldn't interfere further.
On Friday, Nai Nai was discharged and was directly taken back to the villa on the mountain by Lan Yuxi.
On Saturday, Lan Yuxi ordered everyone working at the villa on the mountain to accompany her to Emperor's Grand. This group included both men and women.
In the past, Lan Yuxi had always hoped they would find partners within their own circle, but only two couples had formed, which left her quite disappointed. This time, she would bring them all out. If even one couple formed, it would be a success. Besides, there would be many people from Huo's Hospital, so it would be a waste if they didn't try.
As for why Lan Yuxi dared to bring these "desperadoes" with her, it was because her subordinates at the villa, Meixi, under her subtle guidance, had regained their normal human attributes. They were normal people and deserved to have normal lives.
As the large group set off, Lan Yuxi also brought An Xi, as they had agreed beforehand that An Xi would vet Nan Xiang Nan.
Before An Xi got into the car, she saw Nan Xiang Dong also getting into another car, and her eyes dimmed slightly. However, she quickly concealed that flicker of disappointment with a professional smile.
She didn't deserve such a good person!
Lan Yuxi had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing that An Xi seemed unhappy, she tried to think of ways to cheer her up.
Fortunately, by the time they arrived at the hotel, An Xi's face finally showed a smile. Although her smile didn't reach her eyes, it was better than her frowning.
The venue was vast, and with nearly two hundred people arriving, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Lan Yuxi, An Xi, and Mu Luxi did not appear in the main hall. The three of them sat in a small conference room, eating snacks while observing the men and women on the large screen.
Mu Luxi smiled and nudged An Xi, who was sitting beside her. "An Xi, Yu Xi and I are both married, so it's fine if we don't go. What's the point of you, a single person, tagging along with us? You should go too. Maybe someone there will catch your eye."
An Xi stared intently at Nan Xiang Nan on the small screen and said with a smile, "I won't go. I'm here to vet Third Brother this time."
Lan Yuxi glanced at her and had no intention of persuading her. She always felt that An Xi had someone in her heart, but she just didn't know who it was.
In the small conference room, there was one large screen and ten small screens. An Xi was focused on Nan Xiang Nan, while Lan Yuxi was watching Nan Xiang Dong and Jiu Wan.
Nan Xiang Bei was performing well. No matter who greeted him, he would respond enthusiastically. Even Nan Xiang Xi did not deliberately avoid the girls who approached him. Nan Xiang Dong was somewhat resistant, but as long as he was within Nan Xiang Nan's line of sight, he would immediately put on a smiling face and enthusiastically greet the girls who approached him.
Mu Luxi pointed at the screen and laughed. "Yu Xi, look! My brother is surrounded by those girls from the Huo family."
Lan Yuxi shifted her gaze to another screen and watched for a moment before smiling. "I know these girls from the Huo family. They are much better than Huo Ziyin."
"You know them?"
"We were at the same school before. Although we didn't play together often, I still knew them reasonably well."
Mu Luxi chuckled and patted Lan Yuxi's hand. "Haha... Yu Xi, look at Shi Yi!"
Lan Yuxi saw that over a dozen young girls had surrounded Luo Shi Yi, and he was handling it with ease. She smiled and shook her head.
When their master told him to come, he had been reluctant, but upon seeing beautiful girls, he became a completely different person.
Just then, An Xi's hand suddenly tightened its grip on the sofa armrest.
Lan Yuxi noticed her unusual reaction and followed her gaze.
Nan Xiang Nan was currently talking to a girl. When Lan Yuxi recognized the girl's face, her eyes immediately lit up.
"That girl is Duan Xue. She's the daughter of Master's cousin. Although she doesn't talk much, she's very thoughtful and gentle."
An Xi's eyes curved into a smile. Such a girl would be perfect for Third Brother.
Lan Yuxi nudged her. "They definitely won't talk for too long. Hurry up and go over. As soon as they separate, bring her here. I'll have a chat with Duan Xue."
