Yuan Sichun felt humiliated by Yuan Zhengchong’s obvious contempt. She bit her lips and said,

“Dad, we don’t have to beg the Bo family for this. Aunt has a lot of businesses in Country Y. Since it’s a win-win business, I believe Aunt will definitely consider helping us… Country Y’s state banquet is in a few days. I can tell her about this…”

Yuan Zhengchong was stunned. Talk business with Princess Ava?

When Ye Zhiqing heard this, she was suddenly enlightened.

Yes, she still had this cousin to rely on.

The anger on Yuan Zhengchong’s face finally subsided a little. “How can she help? From what I know, she doesn’t have many businesses. The only thing that was popular a while ago was the RM clothing brand. She also made a fool of herself at the fashion week. Moreover, the management rights are still in the hands of her two daughters!”

As a princess of the royal family, she was doted on by the queen to have her own brand outside. However, it was just an international fashion brand. How much money could she fork out to help him?

Yuan Sichun pursed her lips and said, “After all these years, it’s impossible for her to only have this bit of business. However, as the princess of a country, she must hide it for the sake of external influence. However, if we ask her for help, she probably won’t stand by and do nothing. For example, her nephew, Viscount Leisi, has many businesses in Country Y…”

Yuan Zhengchong suddenly fell silent. This suggestion was feasible.

After a while, he said,

“You’re saying all this because you want to attend Country Y’s banquet with me, right?”

Yuan Sichun pursed her lips and said, “I hope Daddy can fulfill my wish. After all, the state banquet is a big event. I want to experience it and broaden my horizons. I also hope to jump out of this circle and do something for the sake of the Yuan family…”

Yuan Zhengchong stared at her, deep in thought.

After a long while, he sighed deeply and said,

“Forget it, you’re right. If you want to go to the state banquet, you can. Prepare yourself. The two of you can come with me.”

“What?!”

The moment Yuan Zhengchong finished speaking, Ye Zhiqing’s sharp voice sounded.

“You can go with Sichun alone. Why do you have to bring that little… Muran?”

The words “little b*tch” were instantly swallowed back by Yuan Zhengchong’s indifferent gaze.

Seeing Yuan Zhengchong frown, Ye Zhiqing’s expression changed and she suppressed her temper.

“Zhengchong, what I mean is that everyone has been gossiping about what happened back then. My cousin has also been implicated. She has a knot in her heart and definitely doesn’t like Xiaochun. Aren’t you deliberately causing trouble for her by bringing her along now? Moreover, what’s the use of her going? Sichun will be the head of the Yuan family in the future. In terms of connections, Sichun alone is enough…”

Yuan Zhengchong frowned even more. “They’re the ones gossiping outside. Don’t tell me they’re telling the truth? Why do you care so much? As for who will be the head of the Yuan family in the future, it’s different! No matter who it is, what’s wrong with them supporting each other?! With Sichun’s character, do you really think she can do it alone?”

If it was Ye Zhiqing’s guess in the past, Yuan Zhengchong’s words made her understand that he wanted Yuan Muchun to participate in the management of the Yuan Corporation in the future.

How could this be?!

“Zhengchong, Sichun has been studying outside for the Yuan Corporation for so many years. She has sacrificed so much and suffered so much. Isn’t it unfair for Sichun to do this…”

“Mom!”

Yuan Sichun suddenly interrupted Ye Zhiqing.

She knew that her mother had always been more rational than her, but she had her limits.

For example, Yuan Muchun, Yuan Muchun’s mother, and the entire Yuan family.

“Mom, Dad is right. Xiaochun is also a member of the Yuan family. She knows more and will be of help to me in the future. I agree to go with her.”

Yuan Zhengchong couldn’t be bothered to deal with Ye Zhiqing. After all these years, he had noticed her intentions.

After all, Mu Chun wasn’t her biological daughter, so it was normal for her to be selfish.

He couldn’t be bothered to argue with her because he couldn’t be bothered to be angry with her.

She waved her hand and left the living room, ignoring Ye Zhiqing’s ugly expression.

Yuan Sichun patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t be angry, Mom. Muran is also part of the family. She might really be able to help me a lot in the future.”

“Are you willing to split the Yuan family with her?” Ye Zhiqing glared at her.

Yuan Sichun sneered, “How is that possible? The Yuan family is mine. It has nothing to do with her helping me. I’m just making the best use of it.”

Ye Zhiqing looked at her and thought carefully. Her expression gradually softened.

“That’s true. The Yuan family didn’t raise her for nothing.”

–

The old man had already woken up in the hospital. After a series of examinations, he was discharged from the critical period and transferred to the VVIP ward.

Bo Jinchuan accompanied Shen Fanxing for lunch before bringing her to the ward.

Before entering the ward, Shen Fanxing suddenly grabbed Bo Jinchuan’s hand and said, “I won’t go in, lest Old Master’s mood is affected.”

Bo Jinchuan glanced at her without saying a word. He held her waist tightly as they entered the ward.

At this moment, Bo Jinghang and Sang Yu were accompanying her in the ward. Little Wanwan was lying on the bed, her eyes wide open as she looked at the pale and sick old man sitting on the bed.

Seeing the two people at the door, Wanwan’s eyes lit up.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law!”

With that, she staggered towards the door.

Shen Fanxing bent down to carry Wanwan in her arms and made a shushing gesture.

Wanwan understood immediately and nodded vigorously.

The old man turned his head stiffly to look at the door. He saw the woman carrying the child beside Bo Jinchuan. There was a gentle smile on her usually cold face. Her gaze was gentle and the way she carried the child was practiced. Her action of silencing Wanwan made one feel uneasy.

His gentleness towards the child naturally made one unable to look away.

She had never thought that a woman like Shen Fanxing would focus on her family.

He had never thought of taking care of his husband and children.

It felt out of place.

When Bo Jinchuan saw Shen Fanxing bending down to carry Wanwan, he frowned and pulled her into his embrace.

Shen Fanxing turned her head to look at him in confusion. Seeing the man’s dark expression, she blinked and smiled knowingly.

Based on her understanding of men, he should be cautious because he was afraid that she would be too tired.

She had hugged him in the past, but now that she was pregnant with the two little ones, she had to be careful.

However, he was too cautious.

He could even think of some unnecessary details better than her.

Thinking of the notebook in his study, Shen Fanxing’s lips curled into a smile. Warmth surged through her body.

Wanwan wasn’t heavy enough for Bo Jinchuan to carry her with both hands. He carried her with one hand.

Wanwan sat on his arm, worried that she would fall. She wrapped her arms around his neck and blinked at Bo Jinchuan’s handsome but cold face. She smiled ingratiatingly.

Her fawning look could melt everyone’s hearts.

Bo Jinchuan’s lips twitched when he saw her silly look.

She suddenly looked forward to having a daughter…
