After getting to know Tan Yandong afresh,

Tan Xiao, who lacked fatherly love in her youth, redirected her hatred towards Chen Fang and his family.

Having heard this,

Chen Fang also felt somewhat nostalgic.

He said, "I don't even know how to apologize to you. When the words come to my mouth, they always seem feeble and deflated."

Tan Xiao gave a faint smile and said, "I was too narrow-minded. The emotions of the previous generation are not something we can understand. You and I are both victims; what we should hate are those who think they can cover the sky with one hand."

"'Cover the sky with one hand'? You've lived abroad for so many years, yet you use idioms quite smoothly."

Chen Fang praised her.

Tan Xiao laughed with a snort.

She said, "My mom always told me that I would have to go back one day, so I must learn Chinese well. It's just that I've only scratched the surface; I still lack so much in the way of dealing with the world."

"No worries, you'll get used to it eventually."

Chen Fang encouraged her.

Suddenly, Tan Xiao's tone shifted.

She asked Chen Fang, "After Zhu Lin drugged me, I had no control over my body. Didn't you think of taking advantage of me? Could it be that I'm not pretty enough?"

"Very pretty! And your figure is great too; probably the food overseas is different from what we have here. Your figure is already considered hot. Using an idiom to describe it, 'sublime beauty and grace.'

Chen Fang said with a smile.

"Then you..."

She hadn't finished her question,

when there was a knock on the office door.

The person who entered was Gao Younan.

Upon his entrance, Tan Xiao instinctively covered herself tightly with a blanket.

Gao Younan's eyes lit up and he looked at Chen Fang with some ill intent, as if he had realized something.

"Don't jump to conclusions; she just got her clothes dirty, and I was helping her wash them."

Chen Fang knew him too well; with one glance, he knew what he was thinking.

"Right, right, right, my clothes got dirty, and he helped me wash them,"

Tan Xiao hurriedly chimed in.

Gao Younan chuckled and said, "I'm not misunderstanding anything. How could I? Two people who were as good as mortal enemies are now helping each other speak. I believe the relationships between you must be pure."

His words were heavily laden with implication.

Chen Fang couldn't be bothered to argue with him and asked, "What's happened with Zhu Lin?"

Gao Younan immediately regained a serious expression and said, "Zhu Lin has confessed. He admitted that it was Yang Feng who told him to do it. In a few hours, Feng Liyan, the Chairman of Gaoling Group, will hold a board meeting at Tianyuan Factory. He must have something important to announce. Zhu Lin's photos, Yang Feng plans to play them during the board meeting, and by then Miss Tan's reputation will be ruined."

"Such a malicious intent."

Tan Xiao gritted her teeth and said it.

After all, she was still the blood niece of this couple.

This was not only to deprive her of her inheritance but also to ruin her reputation within the Feng family. Feng Liyan was conservative by nature; one could only imagine the consequences once he saw such images.

"Have you got everything arranged then?"

Chen Fang asked.

Gao Younan chuckled and said, "Everything's ready. This is going to be quite the show. It's a real pity we can't be there to watch it live."

Chen Fang's gaze was dark and brooding.

He said sternly, "It's time for that couple to suffer some hardships."

At nine o'clock in the morning,

Feng Wenyu arrived at the gates of Tianyuan Factory by car.

Yang Feng, who had arrived early, scurried over to welcome her and opened the car door for his wife.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Feng Wenyu asked as soon as she got out of the car.

Yang Feng said with a beaming smile, "All set. Zhu Lin called me; he's on his way and will deliver the memory card shortly."

Feng Wenyu nodded in satisfaction.

She said, "You've handled this matter very well. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

"Wife, what are you saying? Isn't it my duty to do things for you?"

Yang Feng patted his chest and said.

"Auntie, Uncle, you both have arrived, huh?"

Suddenly, the sound of Tan Xiao's voice came from behind.

Feng Wenyu's face immediately lit up with a smile as she looked at Tan Xiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you must be tired from working overtime last night."

Tan Xiao waved her hand and said, "Not tired at all, the workers were busy, I was just sleeping in the office the whole time."

Seeing the rosy cheeks of Tan Xiao, Feng Wenyu was even more certain in her heart and said with a slight smile, "No wonder your little face is so rosy. If people didn't know better, they would think you've just had a tonic."

"Aunt is glowing too, looking as if you've just had a big boost yourself."

With these words from Tan Xiao.

Feng Wenyu felt a pang of guilt and couldn't help touching her face, saying, "Not at all, it's just makeup."

It was at that moment.

The motorcade appeared.

A dozen luxury cars drove up to the entrance of Tianyuan Factory in succession.

The car doors opened simultaneously, and a dozen directors from the Gao Ling Group got out, with an old man leaning on a cane, his stature somewhat hunched, alighting from the first car.

This man was none other than Feng Liyan, the chairman of the Gao Ling Group.

His gaze swiftly scanned in the direction of the gate, eager and searching.

"Grandpa."

Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped forward and walked towards this relative of whom she had little recollection.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Feng Liyan asked with some excitement.

Acting obediently, Tan Xiao nodded her head and said, "Grandpa, I'm Xiaoxiao."

Feng Liyan threw away his cane and took Tan Xiao's hand, saying, "Come, let grandpa have a good look at you. You've grown up, really have grown up, and become beautiful, just like your mom when she was young..."

As people age,

family ties become ever more important.

After many years without seeing each other,

it was natural for Feng Liyan to chatter non-stop upon seeing his eldest granddaughter.

At that time, Feng Wenyu came over and reminded him, "Dad, we should go inside first, all the directors are waiting."

"Yes, yes, let's go in, let's go. Come, walk with grandpa."

Feng Liyan said joyfully.

With Tan Xiao's support, the elder and the young walked in front, talking and laughing.

Such a scene was a painful prick to Feng Wenyu's eyes.

She said through clenched teeth, "Hmph! Well done, Tan Xiao, you just wait, you'll get what's coming to you in a moment."

"Exactly, let's see how she'll be able to smile later."

Yang Feng likewise said bitterly from the side.

At the long table in the conference room of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory.

The dozen directors had already taken their seats.

Chairman Feng Liyan sat at the forefront.

As for people like Yang Feng and Tan Xiao, who were not part of the board, they could only sit in the corner.

As the meeting began,

Feng Liyan cleared his throat.

He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since its establishment thirty years ago, the Gao Ling Group has grown from a small hardware workshop to the scale it is today. I, Feng Liyan, have poured almost all my life's efforts into it, and of course, you all have provided me with a great deal of help. Today, I have called everyone to Tianyuan Mechanical Factory because I have a very important announcement to make."

As soon as this introduction was finished,

everyone started to buzz with conversation.

This was not a normal thing to say at a meeting, after all.

Feng Wenyu's heart skipped a beat too,

suddenly realizing something.

At that moment,

Yang Feng's phone, sitting in the corner, began to vibrate.

He looked at his mobile phone,

a look of joy spreading across his face.

He hurriedly bent over and left the corner,

heading to the end of the corridor, where Zhu Lin was already waiting.
