The restaurant's aftermath was left to be handled by a specialist. Under Yu Lian's direction, Zhuo Heng drove her and Yu Jinbu to a private restaurant.

Yu Lian had been busy all morning, but she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice.

The two men assumed she had come here to discuss some company secrets with someone in private.

"One serving of double-pepper chicken, one serving of minced goose meat and egg custard, and one serving of blanched lettuce."

She was focused on ordering the food and only spoke about what had just happened after the waiter left.

"Losing a little money is nothing, but if someone dies, it will affect the company's future. In short, starting tomorrow, I will begin work. From now on, any important decisions made without my approval will be considered invalid!"

Yu Lian used to disdain managing such trivial matters, and was even more afraid that the real power and shares in her hands would affect her life. Therefore, she did not try to take power for herself at the beginning of the establishment. Legally speaking, Yu Jinbu could kick her out at any time without interference from anyone.

After today's events, Yu Lian realized that in recent months she had focused on her family and rarely paid attention to company affairs, which almost brought about some consequences for her hard work.

"dad……"

Yu Jinbu couldn't wait to hear his daughter scold him and immediately admitted his mistake.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, but the contract was already signed. Anyway, I'm sorry now, and I'll listen to you from now on!"

There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Yu Lian didn't want to waste time on what had already happened. What she needed to do now was eliminate all internal hidden dangers and external threats.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. I'll draft the contract tomorrow. You and your mother should learn from my in-laws and go out and see the world instead of always being tied down by work."

If a daughter were to suddenly usurp one's power, it would likely cause chaos and bloodshed in an ordinary family.

But the Yu family father and daughter were different; Yu Lian finalized everything with just a few words.

Having witnessed the whole process, Zhuo Heng finally understood why he had the illusion that the order of seniority was reversed when he first didn't know that the father and daughter were father and daughter.

The "bloody" negotiations came to an end.

"Excuse me, sir, the food is served."

"Enter."

After all the dishes were served, Yu Lian was the first to pick up her chopsticks. "Eat up, there's still a lot to do after we finish eating."

As her mind gradually cleared, Yu Lian remembered what her mother had said.

However, Zhuo Heng seemed no different from usual, so he probably didn't know yet.

……

in the afternoon.

Yu Lian returned home exhausted.

"I won't keep you any longer, Zhuo Heng. I'm too tired and need to rest for a while."

"Okay, don't worry about the contract, Sister Nian. I've got it ready and will give it to you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you."

Yu Lian returned home and sat back on the sofa.

The children got out of school early and have already gone home.

However, I didn't see He Lin.

"Dad, I'm not off work yet. I took a taxi home with my younger brother and sister."

"Okay, have you made the call?"

"I hit my mom, and the shopkeeper even gave me a piece of candy."

"Okay, Mom will rest for a while and then go cook for you. Wait a minute."

He Ning'an reached out to quiet her younger siblings and took out a blanket from the side cabinet to cover her mother.

The four of them tiptoed into the kitchen.

None of the four children had any cooking experience.

"Okay, let's cook noodles. We can't make any noise, Mom is very tired. Let's make it for her."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."

The children carefully maintained this posture in the kitchen until they were almost finished, when a loud bang startled them, and all their efforts shattered on the floor along with the steaming bowl of egg noodles.

"what!"

"what!"

Two screams rang out simultaneously, one from the kitchen and one from the doorway.

He Xinglan was still holding the spare key her sister-in-law had given her, and she was going to use it today.

"sister in law!"

Yu Lian slept for less than an hour before groggily getting up, still wrapped in a blanket. She struggled to pull it to one side before looking towards the door.

"Lanlan? You're back so soon?"

He Xinglan rushed to Yu Lian's side, her voice trembling with tears.

"Sister-in-law, I'm never dating again! That scumbag Xue Zhi, we've only been together a short time and he's already cheating on me!"

Yu Lian didn't know Xue Zhi well enough, so she immediately sided with her sister-in-law.

"Lanlan, don't worry, when your brother comes back, we'll discuss how to help you get revenge."

He Xinglan's cries echoed throughout the first-floor lobby. Yu Lian, who was also wide awake, kept comforting He Xinglan, who was crying uncontrollably.

After what happened this morning, Yu Lian completely lost the courage to deal with He Xinglan's situation today. She secretly called An An and asked him to call her younger sister, Yu Xin.

Let her come and stay for two days.

Because Yu Lian had never encountered such a situation before and lacked experience, she didn't know how to handle it for a while.

While she went to get water, the triplets surrounded their aunt, their faces flushed with anger.

"Auntie, can you please be quiet?"

"That's right, you ruined all the noodles we made. We're going to go hungry tonight."

Children don't understand these things and only see things from their own perspective, but Yu Lian doesn't want her child to lack compassion.

"Auntie is feeling very unwell right now. Can Mom make dinner later? Tell Auntie you're sorry, and then go upstairs to do your homework."

Clearly, they apologized simply because they were listening to their mother.

He Xinglan couldn't hear anything at all; it was as if her ears were plugged, so she had no idea what had just happened.

Finally, Yu Xin arrived, and the two went upstairs to their bedroom to talk.

After arranging dinner for the children, Yu Lian went back to her room to rest.

But the most important thing is to discuss this matter with He Lin.

He Lin received a call from Xue Zhi as soon as he arrived at the company in the morning.

Xue Zhi was so anxious that he could barely speak.

This was completely unlike his usual style, so He Lin unusually set aside five minutes to listen to his explanation.

In short, the two of them went to work in another city and still managed to spend two days sightseeing there.

On the way back, Xue Zhi encountered a former school admirer who tried to kiss him forcefully.

Before the other party could succeed, He Xinglan, who was returning from buying ice cream, saw it.

The way the two were hugging and cuddling led He Xinglan to misunderstand.

He left without listening to any explanation, which led to what happened later.

Just as He Lin was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Mommy, can I sleep with you?"

"Sure, come in."

Yu Lian allowed her daughter to come in mainly to keep He Lin out, so that he could be sent to sleep in the guest room.

"I'm scared, go sleep in the guest room."

He Lin objected, "I have to go on a business trip for half a month, and you treat me like this?"

Neither the father nor the daughter would compromise.

More than toys and food, He Ningxi was afraid that there were ghosts in the room.

"Manman, let Mommy put on some extra thick sheets for you. How about you sleep on the sofa tonight? After Daddy leaves tomorrow, you can sleep with me for the next two weeks."

"Okay, but Dad will make the bed, and Mom will rest."

He Lin racked his brains but could only come up with one reason: all four children were conceived and born through Yu Lian's hard work, so it was normal for her to choose her as the mother.

Finally, everything was ready, and He Lin lay down and whispered about what had happened during his absence over the past two weeks.

For a moment, Yu Lian wondered how they could both encounter so many problems at the company on the same day.
