Lan Yuxi pouted aggrievedly, "He willingly went hungry to help his dad, and I'm very wronged when you scold me like this."
Nan Zhenting glared at her disapprovingly, "Look at you, you're still a child yourself, how can you take care of two children."
"What? I can't take care of them, but they've grown up and are still excellent!"
"You just want to anger me!"
Nan Zhenting forcefully pressed the call button on the table. Soon, the lobby manager knocked and entered.
"Bring out all our signature dishes, and make a few that the children will like."
The lobby manager respectfully acknowledged and turned to leave.
After a bout of patting, Chao Chao's tense little face finally relaxed. The little fellow raised his cute face and looked at Nan Zhenting, "Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore."
Nan Zhenting chuckled at him, "You're not a child, are you an adult?"
"Yes, if I weren't an adult, Dad wouldn't have told me such confidential matters."
Nan Zhenting sat down beside him with great interest, "What secret did your father tell you?"
"The secret of your Nan family." Chao Chao glanced meaningfully at the jade bracelet on the table.
Nan Zhenting affectionately stroked his little head, "Silly boy, what do you mean 'your Nan family'? You are also a member of the Nan family, you should say 'our Nan family'!"
"My surname is Lan!" The little fellow dodged Nan Zhenting's hand uncomfortably.
Nan Zhenting didn't get angry and said with a smile, "Although your surname is Lan, you are the next head of the Nan family, so the Lan family is your home, and the Nan family is also your home."
Chao Chao's little brows immediately furrowed, "No one in the Nan family likes my mom, so I don't want to be the next head of the Nan family!"
"It seems like you have to be the head whether you want to or not, because your father has already nominated you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told you the Nan family's most confidential matters."
Chao Chao looked at Lan Yuxi with some alarm.
Lan Yuxi had never seen her son so nervous. She smiled and pinched his little cheek, "It's okay, when you become the head, you can change the Nan family to the Lan family."
Chao Chao nodded solemnly, even though he knew his mother was joking.
Nan Zhenting smiled and said, "If you can really change the Nan family to the Lan family, that would be our Chao Chao's ability."
"I can change all the people in the Nan family to the surname Lan right now!" Chao Chao said, placing his little hands on the keyboard.
Lan Yuxi quickly grabbed his little hand, "Son, this is Huaguo, no fooling around."
Chao Chao obediently nodded.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the lobby manager entered with the servers.
Chao Chao looked at the delicious pastries and raised his hand to rub his little belly.
While Chao Chao was eating pastries, Lan Yuxi took his computer and accessed the surveillance feed of the emergency hall of Huo's Hospital.
She had timed it perfectly; just then, Old Mrs. Nan was being carried in by the medical staff.
Lan Yuxi zoomed in on the camera to check Old Mrs. Nan's condition.
Chao Chao offered her a pastry, and Lan Yuxi took a bite, smiling, "Thank you, son, give some to Grandpa and Fifth Uncle too."
Chao Chao pushed the pastry plate towards Nan Zhenting and Lan Xiao Wu, and came closer, "Is she faking it this time?"
"No. Look at her complexion, it's clearly not normal..." Lan Yuxi tilted her head to look at Nan Zhenting, "Old man, do you want to go and see? Her situation is very likely to be unsalvageable."
Nan Zhenting acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued to eat the pastries.
Lan Yuxi raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. If the old witch were to die now, Nan Xiao would be the saddest. What should she do? Intervene or not.
She hesitated for less than three seconds before taking out her phone and dialing.
Chao Chao looked at his mother disapprovingly.
Lan Yuxi shook her head and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Huo Ding, did the old lady have a head CT scan when she was admitted to the hospital?"
"No, she didn't. What's wrong?"
"She fainted just now, and this time it's real. I've looked at her condition, and I suspect there's something in her brain."
"Alright, I'll give her a CT scan right away."
"Okay..."
"Mom!"
Chao Chao, guessing what his mother was about to say, quickly interrupted her.
Lan Yuxi rubbed his little head and said to Huo Ding, "Then I'll trouble you. Tell me when the results are out. Nan Xiao doesn't have time right now."
"Okay!"
After Huo Ding hung up, Lan Yuxi put down her phone and looked at her son, who was frowning, "If one day Mom leaves this world, will you be sad?"
Chao Chao immediately hugged his mother, "You won't leave! And I won't let you leave!"
Lan Yuxi bent down and kissed his little forehead, "Mom knows you don't like Grandma, and you even dislike her a little, but she is your father's mother. You can't bear to see me leave, and your father also can't bear to see his mother leave. Your father is busy right now, and Mom doesn't want him to be distracted, so she had to make this call."
Chao Chao said stubbornly, "You are different from her! She has done many bad things!"
"Mom isn't a good person either, but you still love Mom very much, don't you?"
Chao Chao said with red eyes, "Mom is a good person! Mom has saved so many people, they all say you are an angel!"
Seeing that his grandson was about to cry, Nan Zhenting glared at Lan Yuxi angrily, "Is it worth it to make the child cry for someone like that!"
Nan Zhenting's voice was a little loud, and Chao Chao quickly turned his head to look, "Grandpa, don't shout at Mom!"
Lan Xiao Wu couldn't help but chuckle. Old Man Nan was also quite frustrated, wanting to protect his grandson, but his grandson directly shut him down.
Nan Zhenting looked speechlessly at his beloved grandson, not knowing what to say.
Lan Yuxi triumphantly raised an eyebrow at Old Man Nan, bent down, picked up her son, and put him on a chair, "You eat your pastries first, I'll go see how far your father has progressed."
"Mom, eat, I'll look." Chao Chao pulled over the laptop, his little hands typing rapidly for a moment, then said, "Mom, they didn't fight. Dad seemed to show them something, and then they all got on the bus and left with Dad."
Lan Yuxi looked at Nan Zhenting, "Do the past heads of the Nan family have tokens to restrain those people?"
"No, Nan Xiao might have shown the Family Head's seal. But the Family Head's seal can only prove that Nan Xiao is the Family Head. They could completely refuse to obey him. The reason they obeyed Nan Xiao is probably because Nan Xiao offered them some irresistible benefits."
