Inside the coffee shop, Yu Qing and Fang Tian sat facing each other.

"Sweetie, your idea is great. Shen Qing is no longer a threat."

Yu Qing lowered her eyes and stirred the coffee in her cup.

Fang Tian looked up at her and instinctively told her that Yu Qing hadn't come to see her about this matter.

"When did Jiang Wan come back?"

The coffee spoon fell into the cup, splashing two drops of water.

Fang Tian licked her lips: "You... you already know?"

She had considered exposing Jiang Wan to Yu Qing, but before she could act, Yu Qing found out first.

Yu Qing sneered.

"She dared to break into our house, if I didn't know, you'd all be fooling me."

She squinted, and the thought that Jiang Wan dared to come back without her knowledge and continue to pester A Shi without keeping her promise made her regret her past pity for her.

"Auntie, what's Ah Shi's reaction?"

Recalling how Lu Jingshi had protected a dog like a mother hen that day, Yu Qing became even angrier.

"I underestimated this little girl. She took the money, settled things, and then launched a surprise attack on me."

Her tone was restrained, but the underlying dissatisfaction and anger seemed to be slowly brewing beneath the surface, like an undercurrent carrying a storm.

Fang Tian felt a chill for no reason.

This is the Yu Qing who fought alongside Lu Guokun in the business world.

Her years of stepping back from the front lines have not diminished her decisive and ruthless spirit in the slightest.

Fang Tian's heart leaped with joy at the thought that Jiang Wan was going to suffer.

"Auntie, how can I help you?"

Yu Qing took a sip of coffee and gently put the cup down.

"Help me arrange to meet Jiang Wan at the Lu's Club tomorrow night."

…………

Inside the sanatorium, Jiang Wan was changing her grandmother's clothes, with Director Zhang accompanying her.

I would occasionally pull up her sleeves and straighten her clothes.

This made Jiang Wan very uncomfortable.

"Dean Zhang, please go ahead and do what you need to do. You don't need to stay here with me. It's alright."

Dean Zhang smiled and waved his hand: "No rush, no rush. I'm taking a break and I'd like to chat with you about Grandma's recent condition."

Jiang Wan was not used to such special treatment.

In the past, although Dean Zhang was very polite to her, it was mostly because he was serious and responsible about his work.

There was a hint of distance and politeness in the warmth.

But recently, her attitude has clearly changed.

Not only did they pay more attention to Grandma's condition, but whenever she came, Dean Zhang would rush over immediately, no matter what he was doing, to chat with her.

Beneath the usual enthusiasm, there was an added touch of sincerity and goodwill.

After much deliberation, she concluded that the biggest reason was probably the restaurant sponsorship Gu Yang had provided last time.

Jiang Wan felt a little guilty. It was clearly Gu Yang who spent the money, but she took advantage of his influence.

"By the way, Ms. Jiang, today is the groundbreaking ceremony for our indoor activity center. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"Indoor activity center?"

Jiang Wan has been here so many times, but she has never seen any indoor activity center in the sanatorium.

"Yes, all our previous activities were held in the open-air playground, which was too affected by the weather. When it got cold or hot, the activities had to be interrupted."

"Once the indoor activity center is built, it will be much more convenient and safe, and we will no longer be afraid of any weather."

Jiang Wan nodded silently, though she didn't really want to go.

But when he looked down, he saw his grandmother looking at him expectantly.

"Wanwan..."

"Grandma, would you like to go and see?"

"I want to go." Grandma immediately put on her shoes.

Seeing that she was in such high spirits, Jiang Wan couldn't bear to spoil the mood, so she helped her and went to the scene with Dean Zhang.

The original open-air playground is now completely surrounded by barriers.

Not far away, a tower crane and several excavators were covered with red cloth, and dozens of workers were preparing firecrackers around them.

Almost everyone in the sanatorium came out to watch.

"Three, two, one, let's get started!"

With the sound of firecrackers, the red cloth was unveiled, and everyone clapped excitedly.

"Miss Jiang, you are truly a benefactor to our sanatorium."

Dean Zhang's smile was especially radiant.

Jiang Wan looked at her in confusion. What did this have to do with her?

"If it weren't for you, how would we have been able to secure sponsorships from the activity center and restaurant?"

Jiang Wan still didn't understand and wanted to ask again when a shadow suddenly fell over her head.

"Why are you here?"

A familiar, indifferent voice rang out, and Jiang Wan turned around.

Lu Jingshi was standing right behind him, his tall and handsome figure blocking the direct sunlight.

His handsome face was still filled with indifference and nonchalance, as if he didn't care about anything.

Jiang Wan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, her grandmother suddenly grabbed Lu Jingshi's arm.

"Lu Lu, Lu Lu."

Jiang Wan was startled. Lu Jingshi had a severe case of mysophobia, and if he suddenly got angry, it would definitely upset her grandmother.

To her surprise, Lu Jingshi agreed and took his grandmother's hand in return.

A rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.

"Have you been a good boy/girl? Have you been eating and getting checked out properly these past few days?"

Grandma immediately turned around and looked at Dean Zhang for help.

Dean Zhang understood her meaning and immediately testified on her behalf.

"Mr. Lu, ever since you gave me those instructions last time, Grandma has been taking her medicine diligently every day and cooperating with her checkups."

Lu Jingshi smirked and gently patted her head, as if coaxing an innocent child.

"Great, just hang in there for another week, and I'll have Dean Zhang give you butterfly cookies, okay?"

"Okay, Lulu is good." Grandma nodded repeatedly.

She loves butterfly cookies, but Dean Zhang doesn't allow her to eat too many. She'll only get two if she cooperates with the examination and eats properly.

Jiang Wan watched this scene in shock.

When did those two become so close?

"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Lu has been coming frequently since the last sports meet program. During your business trip, he has been coming to visit your grandmother every weekend."

After saying this, Dean Zhang looked at the excavator that had already started digging not far away and spoke again.

"We are truly grateful to President Lu for his assistance in building this indoor activity center. From now on, we will be able to hold our activities on schedule, regardless of wind or rain."

Jiang Wan was surprised to learn that the indoor activity center was actually built with the assistance of Lu Jingshi.

Lu Jingshi remained noncommittal, but straightened his posture even more as he watched the excavator's back.

No one noticed that a limited edition Cullinan was parked at the intersection outside the playground fence.

The back seat window was wide open, and Yu Qing held binoculars, looking in a certain direction for a long time.

I don't know what she saw, but she slammed the expensive binoculars she was holding onto the seat.

Jiang Wan is quite the schemer!

The driver turned to her, looking at her nervously: "Madam...where are we going now?"

Yu Qing picked up her phone and opened the text message. An hour ago, someone had sent her an unfamiliar address.

"Go here."
