When Li Yanshen went in, Yu Lian was discussing with her two children whether she should step down.

It wasn't because of pressure from his father, but because after trying for a month or two, he felt he could manage it, but was this the kind of routine life he wanted?

He felt he should call his father back so he could occasionally assist and ensure the company continued on its planned path.

"Uncle Li is here, you can have all of these!" He Ningxi said with a wicked smile.

She had just boasted to her mother that she could definitely finish all the food she ordered. After eating a third of it, she felt like she was doomed for the day.

He kept dawdling until the older brother said that Uncle Li was outside saying he was hungry.

A brilliant idea suddenly came to mind.

He enthusiastically asked his brother to invite people over to the house so they could have a picnic together.

The three, who had already seen through their sister's thoughts, smiled without saying a word.

But Li Yanshen couldn't tell. After hearing He Ningxi's invitation, he was so happy that he forgot about cotton and immediately followed their example, sitting down and eating heartily.

Yu Lian hadn't seen Li Yanshen for several days and felt that he had changed somewhat.

"Li Yanshen, didn't Grandpa Chen make you anything to eat today?"

Since he hit his head, his self-care ability has improved a lot, but he still needs to be prepared three meals a day without fail.

"Sister, Uncle Chen is sick and went to the hospital. He won't be back until this afternoon. But I accidentally made my food dirty, so I'm very hungry. Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I finish eating; I won't stay at your house."

Yu Lian suddenly became speechless, feeling embarrassed as if she had been seen through and exposed.

"Um... I'm sorry, I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been able to keep outsiders at home. Please don't worry about it."

Although the fool couldn't understand, Yu Lian said what needed to be said.

Li Yanshen nodded. "I know, sister. Uncle Chen told me that something bad happened to your family, and you are very sad right now. You need someone to help you get rid of your pain."

Li Yanshen's words were incoherent and unclear, but Yu Lian understood what he meant.

"Yes, that's true."

"Thank you, ma'am. May I take this with me?"

He pointed to a bowl of noodles, and Yu Lian nodded twice.

Then, Li Yanshen stood up, picked up the bowl of noodles, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and pretended to leave.

But before leaving, he turned to Yu Lian and said:

"Sister, you're the best! If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Doing so will only make you unhappy. Your happiness is the most important thing!"

A few words from him become uplifting and cheerful. Li Yanshen never seems tired; perhaps it's his childlike mentality that affects his physical health.

Yu Lian was initially conflicted about whether or not to tell her father what she truly felt.

But Li Yanshen's words made her realize that she was not suited to work at the front desk.

For the company, quietly conducting research and development behind the scenes is what she most wants to do.

She prefers a free and unrestrained environment to being confined to an office every day, waiting to deal with a bunch of things.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Yu Lian looked at Li Yanshen's back in the distance and said, "Don't underestimate your Uncle Li just because he's silly. He's actually quite pleasing to the ear."

"Mom, so you're not going back to work at the company anymore?"

Yu Lian nodded, then shook her head. "Yes, but I'll have more time to spend with you and my brother in the future."

Since Yu Lian started working, the children are the ones who are least used to it.

Sometimes I'm so busy that I don't pay attention to them for several days in a row.

The children were deeply disappointed by this.

I feel very insecure without my mother in my life.

"Mom, I'll support you no matter what you do!"

Seeing how considerate and sensible her daughter was, Yu Lian silently prayed that the feud between the He family would end soon, as she did not want her child to be trapped in such a miserable situation.

The children were sensible enough not to mention wanting to go out, but what child their age would stay cooped up at home all day instead of going out to play with their peers?

Schools have been open for almost half a month since the last holiday.

Even the third and fourth children, who usually hate going to school, often talk about their classmates and teachers.

Half a month ago, He Lin quietly left home and went to a more secluded place.

Since his family announced the change of regime, the media coverage of him has only increased.

As many had been anticipating, the company recovered significantly after the name change and ownership transfer.

However, no one knew that this company was actually just an empty shell disguised as a family business.

Inside, He Xun is slowly forging new flesh and blood, flesh and blood that have nothing to do with the whole family.

In a secluded corner, unnoticed by anyone, the former employees who had been quietly dismissed by the current head of the company arrived at work in the city center as usual. However, this time they didn't enter the company's main building, but instead went into the taller office building directly opposite the company.

Xue Ci always believed that the most dangerous place was the safest place. In addition, he himself had never been an honest person since childhood.

That's why we have this whole situation today.

They quietly set up a new company right under the noses of the other party without them noticing.

……

After dark, Yu Lian went to the front yard to lock the door.

Ever since discovering that Cotton was becoming increasingly intelligent and could open both the top and bottom locks, Yu Lian has been taking out an old-fashioned lock she bought every night without fail and reinforcing it with an extra lock on both sides.

Manual locking is completely ineffective against cotton wool, so this is the only option left.

She doesn't want to see another instance of waking up to find her door wide open.

"Woof woof woof!" Cotton barked at him several times. Yu Lian was focused on locking the car, and only after he finished did he have time to rub its head.

At this point, he realized something was wrong; the cotton wasn't calling to him, but to the person outside the door.

He looked around and saw no one. He dragged a low stool out of the bushes next to him, stood on it, and looked down. He quickly understood why Cotton kept calling out to the door.

The feeling wasn't welcoming herself, but rather welcoming Li Yanshen.

"What? Grandpa Chen hasn't come back?"

Yu Lian watched him slowly get up, his face contorted in pain, and waited for his answer.

The front yard light didn't illuminate his face until he stood up straight.

At this moment, Yu Lian saw his pale face and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth.

Li Yanshen tried desperately to answer, straining to open his mouth, but his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Before Yu Lian could speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood in front of the door.

Even through the door, the stench of blood reached Yu Lian's nose.

She was so startled she almost lost her balance. After regaining her balance, she hurriedly pulled the keys out of her pocket, but in her haste, she still couldn't get them right.

It took her three minutes just to open the door.

"Li Yanshen, don't scare me."

From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen anyone vomit blood in front of her.
