An Ziling's eyes darted around. He pushed himself up from the sofa with some effort. "Miss Lan, it's all An Ran's fault. I'll discipline her, but this has nothing to do with Su Ya. You can't just abandon her!"
"I can't save her."
She could immediately tell that Su Ya's heart had a serious problem. Even if she could stabilize her condition temporarily, Su Ya would eventually need a heart transplant. It would be better for her to undergo surgery directly. She didn't want to exert herself for anyone related to the Nan or An families.
Upon hearing "I can't save her," Su Ya's eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the sofa.
An Ziling was greatly alarmed. He grabbed Lan Yu Xi's arm. "Lan Yu Xi, I beg you, save her! Her father is Vice President Su..."
Lan Yu Xi flicked his hand away. "So what if he's the Vice President? If I can't treat her, I can't. He's not going to have me beheaded, is he?"
An Ziling said anxiously, "Isn't the Lan Ling Golden Needle supposed to cure all ailments? You can even save a vegetative person. She just has a slight heart problem, so why can't you save her?"
Lan Yu Xi ignored him and said to the butler standing in the corner, "Call for an ambulance!"
"Yes!" the butler replied and calmly took out his phone.
An Ran glared venomously at Lan Yu Xi before getting up from the carpet.
She walked over to Su Ya, intending to retrieve her handbag. She knew Su Ya always carried her emergency medication in her bag.
However, she couldn't get it out after several attempts. An Ran looked suspiciously at Su Ya, who had her eyes closed. It wasn't until her fingers were gently tickled that she understood.
An Ran turned to look at Lan Yu Xi. Before she could make eye contact, Lan Yu Xi had already subtly shifted her gaze.
"Lan Yu Xi, as long as you are willing to save my cousin, I will go to my aunt and tell her that the Jade Ruyi wasn't stolen by you."
"I don't need that! What I want you to do is to drain the Nan family's artificial lake and retrieve the pair of Jade Ruyis within a day. Otherwise, if I'm in a bad mood, I might just leak the news of Old Master An's critical condition to the reporters!"
"How dare you!" An Ziling roared as if his tail had been stepped on.
Lan Yu Xi raised an eyebrow. "No more pretending?"
This girl was beautiful, but she was a rose with thorns. An Ziling knew he wouldn't get anywhere with her and immediately revealed his true colors.
"Lan Yu Xi, don't forget, you want to open an academy and a pharmaceutical factory. Without support, you won't achieve any of it!"
Lan Yu Xi flirtatiously tossed her chestnut-brown hair. "Threatening me? I'm so scared~"
The next moment, her expression changed, and she said coldly, "Miss Su, stop pretending! Butler, see them out!"
After speaking, Lan Yu Xi left the three of them and ascended the stairs with an elegant stride.
As she passed the children's room, she pushed the door open and entered.
Looking at the two little ones sitting on the bed with dishevelled hair, Lan Yu Xi shook her head helplessly. "Did you two stay up all night?"
Mumu quickly waved her hand. "We slept, just a bit late."
"What did you two do again?" Lan Yu Xi asked, looking into her daughter's eyes.
Mumu quickly pulled the blanket over her head.
Zhao Zhao looked at his sister and sighed helplessly. "We investigated Xia Qianqian."
Hearing this name, Lan Yu Xi felt a heavy weight on her chest. Her eyes darkened, and she pulled the two children into her arms.
"Zhao Zhao, Mumu, I originally wanted to wait until you were older to tell you about your... father. But since you're already getting involved, I think it's necessary to have a talk."
"You've never asked me about him, but I know you already know who he is."
"Don't hate him, because he didn't know about your existence. Besides, without him, Mom wouldn't be alive now."
"Also, he didn't wrong me, because we had you two after being set up."
The two children looked at her with teary eyes.
So this was how they came to be.
Should they thank the person who set their mother up, or hate him?
Lan Yu Xi affectionately stroked her children's little heads. "Even though you were an accident, it doesn't stop me from loving you."
"You are the best gift God sent to Mom! It's because I love you so much that I don't want anyone to know your background. I'm afraid someone will try to take you away from me. Do you understand?"
Mumu poked her head out from under the blanket and nodded her little head innocently.
Zhao Zhao thought for a while before softly humming "Mm."
Lan Yu Xi knew her son was a deep thinker. She rubbed his little head and said softly, "Even though you're already very capable, you're still a child. Children should have children's happiness. Try not to get involved in adult matters."
"Mom, I understand. But I just can't stand them bullying you!"
Lan Yu Xi's eyes gradually cooled. "Mom used to have too many scruples, which gave them the opportunity to bully me. Ever since... in short, I won't give them the chance to bully me again."
"Get out of bed and wash up. It's time for lunch." Lan Yu Xi picked up the two children and put them down from the bed. "From today onwards, we need to resume a normal sleep schedule. Anyone who stays up late again will be a puppy~"
Mumu covered her mouth and giggled.
Zhao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then tugged at his mother's clothes.
Lan Yu Xi looked down at him, asking with her eyes if he had anything else to say.
Zhao Zhao pouted. "Mom, just before those three people came in, I posted all of Xia Qianqian's dirty deeds online."
Lan Yu Xi was slightly stunned. "What did she do?"
"Lots of things!" Mumu said exaggeratedly, making a gesture. "Brother said that looking at it would give you red eyes, so he wouldn't let me see."
Lan Yu Xi's heart was in turmoil. After the two children went into the bathroom, she quickly took out her phone.
【A Jade Woman in Public, a Lustful Woman in Private: A Discussion on Xia Qianqian's Tumultuous Love Life.】
After reading all the solid evidence, Lan Yu Xi couldn't help but frown.
Xia Qianqian had Nan Xiao covering for her. Did she really have to accompany one after another?
She had given Nan Xiao so many green hats. Did Nan Xiao know?
Five-Star Grand Hotel
Xia Qianqian was making calls one by one from her phone's contact list.
However, the calls she made were either unanswered, invalid numbers, or busy signals.
Was she ruined like this?
No!
She couldn't be!
The Xia Corporation was already gone.
If she fell from grace again, her life would truly be ruined.
Mrs. Xia, with swollen eyes, walked in from outside.
Xia Qianqian glanced at her irritably. "Such a big thing happened, and you're only coming now?"
Mrs. Xia sighed and sat down. "Do you think I didn't want to come back? But the hospital gave your grandmother a critical illness notice. How could I come back?"
Xia Qianqian frowned with distaste. "She's already dying, why are you still bothering with her!"
Mrs. Xia was slightly stunned, as if she had never met this daughter before. She stared at her fixedly.
Xia Qianqian yelled impatiently, "Stop caring about her! I don't have that much extra money. All my money went to the hacker."
