The sound of pages turning was particularly jarring in the quiet meeting room. For someone with a guilty conscience, it was undoubtedly a catalyst for their heart to race, as each page turned meant that more mistakes would be discovered.

Several people were already wiping away sweat, which was undoubtedly an admission of guilt.

During his free time, Lan Yunchen even turned on a timer on his phone to increase the sense of tension.

Yan Na felt that this man was really bad; not saying a word was more terrifying than being called out and scolded.

Half an hour later, one of the men couldn't take it anymore and called for a halt. "Mr. Lan, I confess. I falsely reported my business trip expenses, gas costs, and..."

Lan Yunchen listened with great interest, remaining silent. After a while, he said, "You're quite intelligent, but you're wasting your talents in the Lan Clan. You should find a bigger organization."

"Dong Qiao, you handle the rest of the matter. Hei Hu, you assist. Write down the list. The Lan family will never hire you again."

After saying that, he took Yan Na's hand and left, showing no interest in watching anymore.

Stepping outside, Yan Na asked, "Did you actually prepare the evidence all along? What was the point of all this? Wasn't it pointless?"

Lan Yunchen said in a serious tone, his voice waving gracefully, "You're bored, aren't you? I'll give you some extra scenes to cheer you up."

Yan Na: "............"

Lan Yunchen had already given Dong Qiao orders in advance: all those who embezzled or falsified documents should be dismissed, and all embezzled funds should be returned to the company as a warning to others. If this was not done, and the funds were not returned, more people would take chances in the future.

Good thoughts and evil thoughts are just a matter of a single thought.

After this cleanup, those in the company who had ulterior motives inevitably began to calm down.

Several months have passed, and Yan Na's due date is only one week away.

Yan Family Villa.

Standing downstairs with her hands on her hips, Yan's mother looked at her son with exasperation. "You really won't go? Can't you just drop everything about your hospital job? This hospital will go bankrupt without you performing surgeries, won't it?"

Yan Zhun didn't not want to go to Blue City, but the patients had already been scheduled. If someone else were to be used for the surgery at the last minute, there would definitely be objections. "The surgery was scheduled some time ago. I will talk to my sister. You guys go ahead."

The stern father sighed. This son was hopeless. He might as well spend the rest of his life married to the operating room. He couldn't leave it for even a day. He really wanted to suggest that he not come home at night. "Alright, let him be. Even if you drag him there, his heart is still on the surgery. What's the point of dragging an empty shell there?"

Yan Feifei dragged a large suitcase downstairs. Her father stepped forward to take it, while her mother glanced at the white suitcase—it belonged to Nana—and said, "We're going to see your sister, not on a trip. Why did you bring such a big suitcase?"

Panting, Yan Feifei was planning to go on a trip. Ever since she started dating Feng Xiaoni, her life had been like hell on earth. Now that she had such a good opportunity to escape, she had to go and have some fun for a few days. "My brother-in-law told me to take a few days off and go to Blue City. I have to listen to my brother-in-law."

As soon as her brother-in-law was mentioned, as expected, Yan's mother didn't say anything more, but just glared at her daughter with displeasure.

Strict father: "Let's go, let's set off. Don't delay. Yunchen said the plane is already waiting."

Since Yan Zhun couldn't go himself, he thought he'd see his parents off. He quickly stepped out the door, opened the car door, and put all the luggage inside. "I'll take you. After I drop you off, I'll go to the hospital anyway, it's on my way."

The strict mother took a deep breath. How could she have such a straight-laced son? "What are you saying? If it's not on your way, you don't want to take a detour, right? Fine, I'm in a good mood today and I don't want to argue with you."

Yan Zhun: "............" To be honest, it really was on the way.

After following Feng Xiaoni for a while, the shrewd Yan Feifei learned a skill: survival. When she didn't want to be implicated, it was best to be invisible and keep quiet. Also, when she made a mistake, she had to be serious.

She was completely invisible at that moment. No matter what her mother said about her brother, she remained silent, afraid that the next fire would befall her.

Full of the will to survive.

Yan Feifei was unusually alert and excited while sitting on the plane, while her mother was a little drowsy and her eyelids were starting to droop. In the end, she couldn't help but follow her heart and close her eyes.

"Wow, I feel like I'm walking on clouds, I could touch them with my bare feet! No wonder my sister loves flying in the sky so much, it's so beautiful."

Yan Feifei sat alone on one side, excitedly looking at the scenery outside the plane. Her mother, who had just closed her eyes, was startled by her daughter's sudden outburst and opened them, scolding, "Can you use your eyes to look? Don't use your mouth to look."

"After reading it, you have to express your feelings. When our Chinese teacher took us on spring outings, we had to write short essays after reading it and after the trip."

Mother Yan let out a sigh of relief; she was very sleepy. She had been so excited after receiving her son-in-law's call last night that she hadn't slept. Now that she was feeling sleepy, she said, "You can read quietly; I won't ask you to write the essay, okay?"

"Alright, such a beautiful view, why do you just want to sleep? What a waste." Yan Feifei muttered softly by the window, while her mother had already fallen asleep again.

A few hours later.

When the plane arrived at Blue City Airport, Lan Yunchen, wearing a beige trench coat, was already waiting at the airport. When he saw the group of people getting off, he hurried over to them and took their luggage. "Mom and Dad, Feifei, welcome to Blue City."

"Hello brother-in-law, where's my sister?"

Yan Feifei was overjoyed. Lan Yunchen took the suitcase and led them outside, with Baihu following behind to help carry the luggage.

"Your sister said she's waiting at home to surprise you. Xixi went to class and hasn't finished yet. She'll be back this afternoon. Mom and Dad, the car is outside. Come this way."

Mother Yan smiled broadly and said, "Okay, sure."

The stern father was very satisfied with his son-in-law's arrangements, but he didn't say anything. He looked around at the surroundings and said, "Hmm."

When the car arrived at the Lan family manor, Shen Muyun, dressed in a cheongsam, was already waiting in the courtyard. After the car came to a stop, the people in the car got out.

As soon as one foot touched the ground, Mother Yan couldn't help but praise, "I thought I had entered some kind of ten-mile peach blossom paradise, it's like a paradise on earth, it's so beautiful."

After getting out of the car, the strict father greeted Shen Muyun and glanced around the yard. The gap between the families' wealth and poverty was quite large.

Shen Muyun warmly helped Yan's mother into the villa, saying, "Come in quickly, you must be exhausted."

"Dad, go inside and rest for a bit. I'll bring your luggage in."

Lan Yunchen opened the trunk to get his luggage, and Baihu came over to help but was stopped. "Go pick up Xixi, she'll be out of school in a little over an hour."

After Yan Feifei got out of the car and greeted Shen Muyun, she was captivated by the scenery in the courtyard and couldn't tear herself away, taking out her phone to take pictures of the beautiful view.

Lan Yunchen, having already taken his suitcase, saw that his sister-in-law was captivated by the courtyard and didn't urge her to come inside. "Feifei, come in by yourself in a bit."

Yan Feifei, who was squatting on the ground taking pictures of the unidentified flower seeds, replied without looking up, "Oh, I know, brother-in-law."

She was so busy, she had to make sure the photos looked good so she could show them off on her WeChat Moments later.

Inside the living room.

Seeing that Yan Feifei hadn't come in, Shen Muyun asked her son, "Yunchen, where's Feifei?"

"Feifei said to come in after taking the photos." After saying that, she carried her suitcase upstairs and put her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's suitcases in the room that had been prepared in advance.

Strict mother: "This child only thinks about playing, there's no hope for him, he'll be the same no matter where he goes."

"Since she's here, let her relax. It's a rare opportunity for her to come; her happiness is the most important thing."

After a pause, Shen Muyun sat gracefully with her hands on her lap and said apologetically, "I have to apologize to you first... Actually, Nana has already given birth. She gave birth 5 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital yesterday."

a bolt from the blue.

The Yan family couple: "........."

They had calculated that their daughter's due date was approaching and came to be with Yan Na a week in advance, only to be told that she had already given birth and been discharged from the hospital.

"I've given birth...it's over."

The strict mother looked at her elegant in-laws in disbelief, and even the strict father was stunned. He had spoken to Nana on the phone just yesterday and said that there was no sign of her giving birth yet.

It was just to let them come and have some fun beforehand, like a vacation.

Strict father: "............" So this girl was lying.

Shen Muyun smiled gently, meeting the couple's gaze. "We are responsible for this. Nana's birth was a bit sudden, about ten days earlier than her due date."

During their conversation, Yan's mother's phone rang. It was Yan Na calling, which interrupted Shen Muyun's subsequent apology.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Yan's mother took a deep breath, trying to process the news as quickly as possible, and suppressed the urge to scold her daughter. "Downstairs."

Yan Na: "I know you're downstairs. Mom, come upstairs, I have something to tell you. Why don't you and Dad come up?"

If this girl weren't currently in postpartum confinement, the strict mother would have given her a good scolding. "I know."

"Mu Yun, I'll go upstairs and take a look first. We'll continue our chat later."

"Yes, Yunchen." Shen Muyun gave the simplest instructions, and even the simplest Lan Yunchen understood his mother's meaning.

Shen Muyun didn't follow. She understood the purpose of her daughter-in-law's phone call; she probably feared her parents would blame them. She was being too understanding.

Standing alone in the living room, Shen Muyun recalled the scene of her daughter-in-law's water breaking. It was 10 p.m. when Yan Na, who had just finished her late-night snack, suddenly had her water break.

Even the usually calm son became agitated, shouting Shen Muyun's name loudly towards the stairs and starting to call the base to prepare for the delivery.

The two had already prepared everything for the production and kept it in the room in case of any unexpected events. Lan Yunchen didn't dare leave Yan Na and could only ask Shen Muyun to fetch it.

Holding Yan Na in his arms, Shen Muyun lay in the back seat with her, Lan Chumu sat in the passenger seat, and Lan Yunchen drove. When they arrived at the hospital, Lan Yunchen didn't want to take any risks and immediately arranged for the best doctor to perform the cesarean section.

After thinking for a while, Shen Muyun sat down on the sofa again.
