The furious lamentations and tragic cries of Murong Mingyuan were clearly heard by Su Ziyu on the other end of the line.
"How can there be a woman by Qianfan's side?"
As Su Ziyu spoke, her heart suddenly sank.
"Shut up!"
Li Qianfan was startled by Murong Mingyuan's screams and quickly reprimanded her in a low voice.
"I won't."
Murong Mingyuan, in pain, wailed and cursed, then got up and reached out to scratch Li Qianfan. "Kill me, I've had enough of your torture!"
Had Li Qianfan tortured her?
No.
The one who hit her was her own mother-in-law, Chu Yazhi.
Besides, given what she had done, it would have been reasonable for Li Qianfan to personally deal with her.
But Murong Mingyuan lacked such awareness. Instead, she acted like a decent woman being bullied by a scoundrel, throwing a tantrum at Li Qianfan.
Damn it!
Li Qianfan's eyes turned cold, and he kicked Murong Mingyuan in the ribs.
"Ah!"
Murong Mingyuan screamed, feeling her side go numb and weak.
"Beat her."
Li Qianfan looked at Chu Yazhi and said coldly, "Beat her to death, as long as she doesn't die."
"Okay."
Chu Yazhi nodded hurriedly and raised her golden whip high.
Hatred surged in her eyes.
If Murong Mingyuan hadn't supported Lan Yunhai and treated Su Ziyu so cruelly, but instead acted like a normal woman, forbidding Lan Yunhai from being interested in anyone other than her, how could Chu Yazhi's family have ended up like this?
One dead.
One crippled.
One a slut!
"It's all this little slut who ruined our family of three!"
Chu Yazhi gnashed her teeth and put all her strength into the whip.
Ah—
Unable to dodge, the numb and weak Murong Mingyuan could only let out a piercing scream.
Li Qianfan, annoyed by the noise, got out of bed, picked up his phone, and went into the bathroom.
After closing the door, the noise indeed lessened.
He pulled back the bathroom curtains, opened the window, looked out at the lawn, and said into the phone, "Wife, it's complicated to explain what's happening here right now. I'll tell you everything in detail when I get back after I've handled things."
"Okay, then come back soon," Su Ziyu said softly and hung up before Li Qianfan could say anything else.
Sigh.
Looking at the dark phone screen, Li Qianfan sighed inexplicably.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
After washing up, Li Qianfan, accompanied by Li Xingtang, paid a visit to Elder Lan.
Li Qianfan respected the old man very much.
Even though the father and son he meticulously cultivated, Lan Ximing, were both incompetent.
But even among nine dragons, each had its own temperament.
Moreover, Lan Ximing's wife, Chu Yazhi, was not someone to be trifled with.
It was normal for the couple to raise a son like Lan Yunhai together.
After a night's absence, Elder Lan's once graying hair had turned completely white.
His eye bags were significantly larger, and his old eyes were bloodshot.
But after Li Qianfan proactively visited the guest room, he still maintained his demeanor and welcomed him with a smile.
"Mr. Li, I once again express my sincere apologies for the harm my unworthy descendants have caused your wife."
Elder Lan said, standing up and bowing deeply to Li Qianfan.
Accompanying him, Lan Hongming and Lan Yeming, the two brothers, also quickly apologized to Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan, seated on the sofa, did not stand up.
He merely waved his hand and said in a calm tone, "Those things are in the past. There's no need to mention them again. Elder, I'm here to discuss a compensation plan with you."
Li Qianfan had hanged Lan Ximing, crippled Lan Yunhai, and "taken" Chu Yazhi and the other two as his women, but the matter was not over.
The Lan family must provide compensation!
"I know."
Elder Lan understood perfectly.
After sitting down again, he got straight to the point. "Qingyun Kangjian Pharmaceutical is valued at around one billion yuan. If Mr. Li is still not satisfied, there are also our Lan family's industries in Qingshui City, which is closest to Qingyun."
"My appetite isn't that big," Li Qianfan said. "Qingyun Kangjian Pharmaceutical will do. But in addition, Murong Mingyuan's dowry must also be accounted for."
The main culprits who harmed Su Ziyu were Lan Yunhai and his wife.
Kangjian Pharmaceutical could only be considered Lan Yunhai's offering, but Murong Mingyuan had to pay separately!
Elder Lan gave a wry smile and said, "Let alone the fact that Murong Mingyuan is already Mr. Li's woman. Even if she weren't, our Lan family would not touch a cent of the dowry from the Murong family of Sijiú."
His reasoning was sound.
If Li Qianfan wanted to take Murong Mingyuan's dowry, he would have to negotiate with the Murong family.
"Mr. Li, we discussed this all night," Elder Lan continued. "My wicked son Lan Ximing is dead, and Lan Yunhai is crippled. Chu Yazhi herself has also become your woman."
Upon hearing this, Li Qianfan picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.
He cursed inwardly, "Who the hell wants that old hag?"
Elder Lan continued, "The actions of my wicked son's family have not only harmed themselves but also brought great shame to our Lan family. However, for many understandable reasons, our Lan family will not confiscate their family of three's shares in Dashen Real Estate. But we absolutely will not allow Chu Yazhi, who was the financial vice president of Dashen Real Estate, to continue working in the company."
Lan Ximing was the patriarch and the CEO of Dashen Real Estate.
His wife, Chu Yazhi, was the financial vice president, and their son, Lan Yunhai, also held an important position within the company.
This was common in family businesses.
But with Lan Ximing's death and Lan Yunhai's crippling, they could no longer "hold" their original positions.
And Chu Yazhi, who had been "taken" by Li Qianfan, could not remain at Dashen Real Estate either. This was a foregone conclusion.
Li Qianfan couldn't be bothered to explain anything, he just nodded.
He continued to listen to Elder Lan's narration.
"We have converted the shares of Lan Ximing's family into cash and several small businesses."
Elder Lan paused here and glanced at his second son.
Lan Hongming immediately presented a contract to Li Qianfan. "Mr. Li, please take a look."
This was a property division contract between Dashen Real Estate and Lan Ximing's family of three.
The family of three's total shareholding in Dashen Real Estate was about 9%.
If Lan Yunhai hadn't courted disaster, upon Elder Lan's death, Lan Ximing, as the current patriarch, would have automatically inherited his 22% stake, becoming the largest shareholder of Dashen Real Estate.
But even a mere 9% stake was astonishingly valuable.
If all were converted to cash at market value, it would be at least fifty billion yuan.
The Qingyun Kangjian Pharmaceutical that Li Qianfan demanded was, of course, included within these fifty billion yuan. kuAiδugg
With a clack, Li Qianfan finished reading and threw the contract onto the table. "Please reprint the contract."
Elder Lan's expression changed.
Lan Hongming blurted out, "This is our greatest sincerity, and you're still not satisfied?"
Li Qianfan said nothing, but lit a cigarette.
The Lan father and sons looked gloomy.
After taking a puff, Li Qianfan said, "Give me Qingyun Kangjian Pharmaceutical. All shares of Lan Ye Beauty Club in the provincial capital, valued at around eight hundred million yuan, should be placed under Chu Yazhi's name. As for the remaining over three billion yuan."
He paused.
Li Qianfan looked at Elder Lan. "Let it remain with Dashen Real Estate. I hope the Lan family can pass down the 'Charity Home' plaque from generation to generation."
Elder Lan's expression changed again.
Lan Hongming and Lan Yeming stared, then understood.
"Regardless of anything else, Chu Yazhi is now my woman," Li Qianfan said, feeling extremely awkward, as if he had swallowed a fly.
He could only feign nonchalance and continue, "Her husband is dead, and her son is crippled. What does a housewife need so much money for? Having a beauty club to ensure she can take care of Lan Yunhai and continue to live a life of luxury is more than enough."
