Nan Qiao drove over, and Li Yehan had his secretary bring him, so the two of them left in the same car.

"Where to?"

Li Yehan held the steering wheel, his eyes looking ahead.

"Why aren't you sending me back to the company?" Nan Qiao jokingly asked.

"You suddenly came looking for Nan Shan, you must have something you want to do," Li Yehan said with utmost certainty.

"To be honest, I came to find Nan Shan because I do have something to do. I hacked into the surveillance at his house and investigated a matter. As for what it is, I'll tell you once I find out."

Nan Qiao held her phone, continuing to contact Wan Sang, planning for her to help test something once it arrived.

Zheng Qinnian was too busy now, and Nan Qiao also deliberately kept this from him.

"I'll wait for you to tell me." Li Yehan drove, no longer pressing for answers.

...

Upon reaching the laboratory, Nan Qiao met with Wan Sang and entrusted the testing matters to her, adding a few reminders.

Wan Sang nodded, guaranteeing, "I'll get the results as soon as possible."

"Sangsang, I've heard you spend so much time in the lab you might as well sleep here. You're still young, go out and have some fun sometimes. There are others here working hard, no need to worry."

"Qiaoqiao, I don't feel like going out at all. I love it here so much, I want to stay here forever. Qiaoqiao, the atmosphere in your lab is just wonderful! Everyone is so united in their research efforts, no scheming at all. I want to stay here.

Thinking of something, Wan Sang's face changed suddenly. She cautiously asked, "Qiaoqiao, you're not thinking of kicking me out, are you?"

Nan Qiao burst into laughter.

"What are you thinking? Having such a professional Gu Master like you helping in the lab, I couldn't wish for more. I'm just afraid you'll get too tired and want you to rest well."

Wan Sang breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest with lingering fear, "You scared me, I thought you were going to kick me out."

There's no way she would leave; she wants to stay here forever.

"Qiaoqiao, as long as you're not kicking me out. I'll go do the experiment, you go have a chat with Manman."

Wan Sang happily ran off.

Nan Qiao was both crying and laughing; this child is just adorable.

Chen Man ran out from inside, feigning a couple of coughs, "It's been a long time since I've seen Missy laugh so happily."

Nan Qiao laughed out loud, tapping Chen Man's forehead, "Is my Manman jealous?"

Chen Man spread her hands in mock grievance, "Sangsang is capable, beautiful, of course you'd like her more than me."

Nan Qiao grabbed her arm, "Look at you, so good at squeezing out jealousy, how could I ever let you go?"

Chen Man snickered, hugged Nan Qiao's arm, and giggled, "I knew Qiaoqiao loves me."

Nan Qiao said, "Yes, yes, you're all just passing visitors in sis's life."

Chen Man: "..."

Nan Qiao laughed as she walked out, and Chen Man stomped her foot, chasing after her.

...

Li Xuelan and He Yunlai arrived together at Li Yehan's company.

Upon reaching the floor where Li Yehan's office was, Secretary Zhao welcomed them at the elevator.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He, please wait a moment, Mr. Li is in a meeting. You can first sit in the lounge."

Li Xuelan dissatisfiedly retorted, "Why should I go to the lounge? Can't I go directly to Yehan's office? We're family; surely I won't harm Yehan?"

"Mrs. He, I'm Mr. Li's secretary, everything is done according to company policy," Secretary Zhao replied with a smile.

Li Xuelan wanted to say more, but He Yunlai grabbed the arm she was about to wave.

"Let's sit in the lounge a bit. Yehan is too busy; we'll wait for him."

Li Xuelan glared at Secretary Zhao, but Secretary Zhao still faced them with a beaming smile, not angered in the slightest.

It was as if Li Xuelan's punches landed on cotton and were utterly ineffective.

The two followed Secretary Zhao and sat in the lounge.

Just as Li Xuelan was about to voice her displeasure, He Yunlai stopped her with a stern look.

"Remember our purpose in coming to see Yehan today; mind your attitude. If your attitude is off, Yehan's temper is such that not kicking us out would already be a courtesy."

Li Xuelan: "..."

"When I first saw him, he didn't have this sense of dignity. It was the Li Family that gave him this elegance. It's not courteous how he treats me, his grandaunt, with harsh words—an ungrateful little wolf! I don't even know what my brother was thinking; among so many descendants of the Li Family, he chose someone so tough to handle!"

He Yunlai: "Keep it down. Brother surely had his reasons for choosing Yehan. Be a little nicer to Yehan; if Brother wakes up and knows you're good to Yehan, he might be nicer to you too."

"He'll wake up? I've asked the doctors; although there's a chance of waking up, the probability is very low. Waking up is akin to climbing the sky." Li Xuelan sneered.

She's lost hope in this brother!

Couldn't rely on him before, and even more so now.

They've been apart for many years, and their sibling bond is very weak.

"Keep it down, talk less. You really should temper your attitude; since Ah Sen and Jingjing aren't married yet, now that we're back in Jing City, we must be more restrained to avoid them struggling to find good partners."

Thinking of the purpose of returning to the country, Li Xuelan's hard expression finally softened, and she suddenly seemed kind.

Li Xuelan uncharacteristically said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. You have foresight; I'll listen to you."

He Yunlai responded with an "um," and after looking around the lounge, he stood to carefully examine.

After examining the lounge and spotting something, his brow furrowed.

He Yunlai quietly sat back down beside Li Xuelan and whispered something in her ear.

Li Xuelan: "!!"

"The little brat, he's nothing like Tianhong's offspring! If Tianhong had even half his intellect, he wouldn't be in this situation!"

"So say less, Xuelan; this isn't our territory. When you see Yehan, you need to be a bit more cordial."

Li Xuelan wanted to speak, but recalling what He Yunlai told her, she could only suppress her anger.

"Alright, alright, I know. Stop nagging; my ears are getting calloused."

He Yunlai ultimately said nothing more, speaking less leads to fewer mistakes.

After a while, Secretary Zhao knocked and opened the door.

"Mr. Li has finished the meeting, please follow me."

He Yunlai gave Li Xuelan a look, and Li Xuelan gently nodded, indicating understanding.

The two of them walked into Li Yehan's office together.

The understated luxury with a touch of elegance surprised both He Yunlai and Li Xuelan.

It was their first time seeing such an opulent office, and they exclaimed, "Yehan, your office is too luxurious!"

Li Yehan: "Hasn't grandaunt lived well abroad all these years, yet didn't splurge on decorating an office?"

Li Xuelan: "..."

He Yunlai cheerfully interjected, "We don't earn much, just enough to get by."

Secretary Zhao grinned and remarked, "Mr. He, you're too modest. Money abroad is easy to earn; you must be raking it in. Hearing you joke like this, I thought you were here to borrow money from Mr. Li."

He Yunlai & Li Xuelan: "..."

How are they supposed to respond to that?
