Lan Yuxi hung up the phone and looked at Lan Xiaoqi, "Who is Kahn?"
Lan Xiaoqi frowned slightly, "A heart surgeon second only to me, what's wrong?"
"The Su family has invited him to perform surgery on Su Ya."
Lan Xiaoqi stroked his chin, "It seems you were right, there's really something fishy going on here."
Lan Yuxi glanced at the time, "Seventh Brother, I'm going to be late, I have to go. Don't worry about this matter, I'll tell Er Wan."
"Mmm... do you want me to give you a ride?"
"No need." Lan Yuxi got into the car with her two children.
The car slowly drove out of the gate. As they reached the foot of the mountain, Mu Mu's big eyes lit up, "Mommy, it's Auntie's car!"
Lan Yuxi looked at the car coming from the opposite direction, honked her horn, and stopped with a smile.
Luo Wanqi subconsciously pulled at her collar before pulling her car over.
Lan Yuxi walked to her car window and, seeing her haggard appearance, frowned slightly, "You haven't been home all night?"
Luo Wanqi's eyes flickered, "It's all because of your good disciple, he was too rowdy after drinking too much."
"Where is he?" Lan Yuxi glanced into Luo Wanqi's car.
"Still sleeping at the hotel. I saw he had sobered up, so I came back. Are you taking the two children out?"
"Yes."
"Then hurry up. I need to go to the research institute after I freshen up."
Lan Yuxi blinked in surprise, "Is the research institute operating normally already? You and Brother Jiaqi are quite fast!"
Luo Wanqi chuckled, "You're such a boss! You don't even know the progress of your own research institute."
"I told you, the research institute belongs to you and Brother Jiaqi, I don't care about it!"
"Then you don't care about the recruitment either?"
"You and Brother Jiaqi can handle it."
Luo Wanqi gave her a look, "I'm leaving. Be careful with the children."
"Okay." Lan Yuxi waved with a smile and turned back to her car.
On the road, Zhao Zhao asked with a small frown, "Mommy, why did Daddy switch places with me last night?"
Lan Yuxi glanced in the rearview mirror and asked with a slight blush, "Didn't your dad explain it to you?"
"He did, but I didn't believe him."
"What did he say?"
"He said Mommy was scared sleeping alone at night and needed his protection. But after so many years, Mommy sleeps well alone, and besides, I can protect Mommy too. Why did he switch places with me without my consent?"
"...Did you say these things to your dad?"
"I did, but he said my arms weren't long enough yet to protect Mommy."
Lan Yuxi's mouth twitched, "Did your dad really say that to you?"
"That was the general idea. He just shaved my beard with a razor and then told me to talk about protecting Mommy when I grew a beard."
"..." Lan Yuxi was speechless. She knew Nan Xiao wouldn't talk to the children like that.
At precisely ten o'clock, Lan Yuxi arrived at the designated location with her two children and met Algernon.
Algernon was as delighted as a child to see the mother and her two children. Lan Yuxi chatted with him for a while. Seeing that they were about to practice the piano, she left the music room and decided to look around.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw a familiar figure. She didn't want to acknowledge her, but the person saw her and rushed over.
"Lan Yuxi, you vicious woman!" Madam Zhou cursed without regard for her image, "You framed my daughter, I curse you to die a terrible death!"
The corners of Lan Yuxi's lips curved into a mocking arc. She couldn't be bothered with such a powerless lunatic.
Seeing Lan Yuxi about to leave, Madam Zhou reached out to grab her arm, "Don't go, you have to come with me to the police station today and make them release my daughter."
Lan Yuxi's stunningly beautiful face was filled with impatience. She took a step back, dodging her hand.
"You're a public figure, don't be so shameless with me! You say I slandered your daughter? Did the police officer also slander your daughter?"
Lan Yuxi glanced at her and continued, "You cursed me to die a terrible death, did you? Do you know how high the grass is on the grave of the last person who cursed me?"
As Lan Yuxi spoke, she slightly raised her hand, and a dark shadow flew from the darkness like the wind.
"Slap! Slap! Slap..." Before Madam Zhou could react, she was slapped more than a dozen times in the face.
Stars swam before Madam Zhou's eyes, and she was instantly dazed. She didn't even see who hit her clearly before the figure disappeared.
Lan Yuxi looked at her with contempt, "If you don't have the strength, don't challenge my bottom line!"
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from behind.
Lan Yuxi turned her head to look. The man who snorted at her with his nose looked familiar, but she couldn't recall who he was for a moment.
"Lan Yuxi, I can't believe you're still so violent after all these years!"
Lan Yuxi blinked her long, curled eyelashes, "Do we know each other?"
"You..."
The man was so angry he was speechless, she didn't even recognize him!
Then, he said proudly, "I'm Liao Tianyou!"
Lan Yuxi blinked her adorable eyes. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't place it for the moment.
It seemed her memory was truly deteriorating. No, she had to prescribe herself some medicine to recuperate. She was afraid she might accidentally forget Nan Xiao and the two children.
Seeing that she still didn't remember him, the man said indignantly, "I'm Liao Tianyou, China's youngest pianist. We competed for a performance spot in junior high school."
"Oh—" Lan Yuxi drew out a long "Oh."
Just as Liao Tianyou thought she remembered him, he heard her say, in a way that would make anyone furious, "Sorry, I still don't remember who you are. But I can confidently say that if we PK'd, you would be the one who lost!"
Liao Tianyou was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Madam Zhou had only just recovered after they had been talking for a while. With a swollen and red face, she said with a sob, "Tianyou, she's the one who framed Tongtong. If you can save Tongtong, I'll arrange your marriage with Tongtong today."
"Teacher, don't worry, not only will I save Tongtong, but I will also send this woman to prison." Liao Tianyou reached out to support Madam Zhou, "I'll take you to report the crime now. No matter who is behind her, I will spare no expense to seek justice for you and Tongtong!"
Lan Yuxi's bright and beautiful face was filled with mockery. This guy still wanted to send her to prison? Did he forget how he lost that competition and how he cried?
Yes, Lan Yuxi finally remembered who he was. However, his image in her memory was not good. She looked down on men who couldn't accept defeat.
