An Zhengdao, as Lan Yuxi had anticipated, did indeed arrive.
However, he didn't see any of their four children.
He wasn't allowed to see the sons of the two felons, and he didn't want to anyway!
One daughter had run off with her grandson long ago, and no one knew where they had gone.
The other son, it was rumored, had left by plane an hour before he arrived. As for where he went, An Zhengdao waited outside the mountainside villa for over an hour, but no one would tell him.
Even without news of his sons and daughter, he had no intention of leaving. Two of his sons were crippled, and his second daughter-in-law had been arrested by the local police in Country Y. He had left his grandson with his maternal grandmother and rushed straight here.
There was only one reason: he was out of money and needed Nan Xiangnan and An Xi to provide for his old age.
As for the five million that Nan Xiangnan had given him, it had already been gambled away.
Was his luck really that bad?
Of course not. The one who made him lose it all was Lan Yuxi.
That five million was Nan Xiangnan's hard-earned money, how could he let it go easily.
The plane Lan Yuxi and her group were on stopped in Yunli for ten minutes. When it took off again, Duan Xue had joined them.
Seeing the gentle and lovely Duan Xue, Nan Xiangnan's heart was filled with a thousand emotions. He hadn't expected Duan Xue to still choose him at this time.
Lan Yuxi looked at the two people sitting side-by-side and smiled with relief.
After arresting Nan Yao and An Cheng, she had spoken to Duan Xue and given her the choice.
Duan Xue hadn't given her a clear answer then, only saying that she needed to return to Yunli.
Then this morning, she had received a call from Duan Xue, who said she had resigned from her job, packed her bags, and would accompany Nan Xiangnan to Nuokasi.
How wonderful!
When you are at the lowest point in your life, there is still someone who will unreservedly stay by your side.
Xiangnan, Duan Xue, you will surely be happy!
Nan Xiao and Lan Yuxi stayed in Nuokasi for seven days. Before they left, Lan Yuxi gave Nan Xiangnan a bank card.
"This is the five million that An Zhengdao lost."
Nan Xiangnan stared at the bank card in stunned silence.
He had actually gambled away the money Nan Xiangnan had given him.
Lan Yuxi said gravely, "He abandoned An Cheng's child to come to you and An Xi. He couldn't find you, so he didn't leave. For the past few days, he's been causing trouble at the villa every day. Later, I had Xiangdong send him to a sanatorium. The environment there is good, with food, drink, and doctors to check on his health regularly. I think it's good for him to stay there for a while. What do you think?"
"Thank you for the arrangements, Madam." Nan Xiangnan pushed the card back. "Please keep this card. He'll be spending quite a bit in the sanatorium."
"I can afford that small amount," Lan Yuxi smiled. "You work hard here, and please don't let Duan Xue down. She quit her job to come with you."
Nan Xiangnan nodded heavily. Duan Xue chose him at this time, and he would never betray her in this life!
After settling Nan Xiangnan and Duan Xue, Lan Yuxi's family of four went to
However, it was Nan Xiao who came to pick them up that evening.
Zheng Peipei had given birth.
Lan Yuxi was eager to see her two little nephews and flew to Nuokasi directly, even skipping class.
Lan Yuxi was away for seven days, making Nan Xiao anxious. In the end, he had to use insomnia as an excuse to lure her back.
On the eve of New Year's Day, the verdicts for Nan Yao, An Cheng, Kahn, and others were finally handed down.
Nan Yao, having become a vegetative state, was temporarily exempted from prosecution, but he would be held legally accountable if he woke up.
An Cheng and Kahn were sentenced to death, and other members received due punishment according to the severity of their crimes.
As soon as the verdicts were announced, Qiu Shuying was "discharged from the hospital after recovery." After her discharge, she went directly up the mountain. This time, she shaved off her "three thousand worries" and formally became a Buddhist nun.
Nan Xiao and Lan Yuxi did not stop her from making this choice. However, they did not accept the businesses she had gifted them. Instead, they sold them and donated the proceeds to Mingying's foundation in Qiu Shuying's name.
Island Master Xin had completely let go. Mingying finally moved from behind the scenes to the forefront, and the foundation grew larger and larger.
Island Master Xin handed over Hong Island to his daughter and future son-in-law to manage. He would travel outside when he had nothing to do and return when he was tired of playing.
A few months later, Lan Zixin also gave birth to twin sons. Because Lan Yuxi had been helping her regulate her health, her body was even better after giving birth to the two children than before.
However, after the twins' full moon, it was time for their family of four to return home. After all, they were the future head and madam of the Lan family, and it wasn't appropriate to live there permanently.
Lan Xiao Liu and Yin Lu also left with them.
Yin Lu had recovered well and did not experience the memory loss she had feared. This made her regretful; if she had known that undergoing surgery wouldn't make her forget Lan Mulun, she would have done it much earlier. That way, she and Lan Mulun wouldn't have wasted several years.
At the end of this year, Lan Yuxi was extremely busy. Yan Chuting gave birth to a daughter, Nan Qiyue was pregnant, and Lan Xiao Wu, Lan Xiao Liu, Lan Xiao Qi, Luo Jiaqi, Jiu Wan, and Luo Shi Yi held a collective wedding on Hong Island.
Then came the collective weddings of Nan Xiangdong, Nan Xiangnan, Nan Xiangxi, and Nan Xiangbei.
And then came the large collective wedding of Eagle, Nan Yi, Nan Er, and nearly a hundred others.
In short, this year, Lan Yuxi shuttled between various wedding banquets. She not only gained weight but also suffered from endocrine disorders, her period not coming for three months. However, due to being too busy, she didn't pay any attention to it.
If Nan Xiao hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to get herself checked.
Then, on a deep winter night, a terrified scream echoed from the master bedroom of the mountainside villa.
"Honey, it's bad! Someone's died!"
Someone had died!
Her shout not only brought Nan Xiao out of the bathroom but also roused everyone in the villa.
Seven months later, Lan Yuxi, who had always believed she could no longer conceive, gave birth to twin sons under Dr. Huo's care.
--The End--
