Morning.
Sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed.
Fang Miaomiao squinted her eyes at the light, habitually reaching for the blanket to shield herself from the annoying sun.
However, no matter how she felt around, she couldn't find the blanket.
Did it fall on the floor?
Fang Miaomiao struggled to move, reaching out to feel for the blanket.
But, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the carpet, let alone the blanket.
What's going on?
Fang Miaomiao painstakingly opened one eye to look.
Oh, there was no blanket on the floor.
She rolled over again.
It was behind her.
Behind her?
Behind her!
Fang Miaomiao instantly woke up and suddenly opened her eyes.
Damn it, when did I get onto the bed to sleep?
With too much force, Fang Miaomiao fell backward from the bed.
Bang!
With a sound.
She had an intimate encounter with the ground.
However, fortunately, the floor was covered with a carpet, so it didn't hurt much.
Fang Miaomiao sheepishly got up from the floor. Wen Zhiyan had long since disappeared from the bed, presumably having gone out after waking up.
She sighed, then got up and left the bedroom, lying on the sofa and letting her thoughts drift.
Actually, she really wanted to know how she ended up sleeping in the bed last night, but she was too embarrassed to ask Wen Zhiyan.
Forget it, forget it.
Pretend nothing happened.
Calmed down, Fang Miaomiao washed up, changed into her pajamas, and opened the door.
At the door, Wen Yanan was quietly playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hands.
Fang Miaomiao was a little surprised: "You've been waiting for me here the whole time?"
Wen Yanan looked up at her: "It's time for breakfast, Grandma is at the dining table."
This statement made Fang Miaomiao feel that something was terribly wrong.
As expected, as soon as she reached the dining room, Ran Lian glared at her, as if her nose wasn't her nose and her eyes weren't her eyes: "Are you planning to wait until we've all finished eating before you decide to get up?"
"Sorry, sorry, my mistake." Fang Miaomiao sincerely apologized and greeted her: "Mom and Dad, good morning."
"Alright, Miaomiao's injury hasn't healed yet, so she needs proper rest," Old Master Wen closed his newspaper and put it aside, saying considerately, "And you, say less."
Ran Lian sneered: "What, are my words superfluous now? As her mother-in-law, I can't even say a few words to her?"
Fang Miaomiao had no choice but to brace herself and say, "You're right, you're right, mother-in-law is doing this for my own good. The plan for the day is made in the morning."
"Hmph, other people's daughters-in-law get up before dawn to prepare breakfast for their families, but she's so good, she wishes she could sleep until noon." Ran Lian still didn't want to shut up. "I just don't have that kind of luck."
As the saying goes, when tolerance reaches its limit, there's no need to tolerate any further. Since that's the case...
Fang Miaomiao smiled, and under Ran Lian's glares, she sat down at the dining table and said with feigned shyness: "Oh, mother-in-law, I also wanted to get up early to serve you, but Zhiyan wouldn't let me. He insisted I was tired from last night and told me to sleep in today."
"You!"
"Ahem!" Old Master Wen glared at Fang Miaomiao impatiently, "How can this child talk about such things in public? Fortunately, An'an isn't here. If he were to ask about it, I don't know how to explain it."
"Oh, mother-in-law, I didn't mean it." Fang Miaomiao truly displayed her exaggerated demeanor to the extreme. "Of course, it's not Zhiyan's fault either, after all, he also wants me to have a child for him quickly."
You venomous mother-in-law, if I don't disgust you to death today, you really think Fang Miaomiao is easy to bully?
Just as Fang Miaomiao wanted to press her advantage, a familiar voice from behind made her want to find a hole to crawl into.
Didn't the novels say that CEOs are very busy, so busy they can't even eat a meal a day and get stomach problems, so the female protagonist works hard every day to cook for the male protagonist just to help him develop good eating habits?
Can anyone tell her why the supposedly busy CEO would appear in this place?
"Mother, if the breakfast chef's cooking doesn't suit your taste, you can just say so," Wen Zhiyan said indifferently. "I will find you a chef who will satisfy you."
"Wen Zhiyan, you won't be satisfied until you anger me to death, will you?" Ran Lian angrily slammed the cup in her hand onto the floor, showing none of the gentle demeanor she had previously displayed.
She looked like a wicked old woman.
Fang Miaomiao finally understood why Wen Zhiyan was always alone in his apartment during the Chinese New Year when she read novels.
Why did she feel a pang of sympathy?
"Mother, no matter how much you fuss, I will resolve the matters in Haishi. Your anger will not change anything," Wen Zhiyan's expression remained unchanged, and his tone showed no fluctuation whatsoever due to Ran Lian's words. "If I were you, I would advise them to withdraw voluntarily."
"You! Fine, Wen Zhiyan, you are truly my good son." Ran Lian took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and looked at Old Master Wen. "Wen Renhe, you think so too, don't you?"
"Lian'er, I am no longer the chairman of the Wen Group."
In other words, he had no right to interfere with the affairs of the Wen Group. He was old, retired, and only wanted a quiet life. Of course, it would be even better if Miaomiao gave him a chubby granddaughter.
"Fine, fine." Ran Lian supported the table with both hands, her eyes turning red. "Wen Renhe, when you were poor and penniless, our old Ran family didn't look down on you. We even helped you so much. Now that you've become wealthy, you can just cast our old Ran family aside."
"If that's the case, then I, Ran Lian, cannot stay in your Wen family, lest I disgrace the Wen family."
With that, Ran Lian turned and left.
Fang Miaomiao: "..."
She finally understood. So she was just a fuse. Her mother-in-law used her as an excuse to vent her anger early in the morning, and then targeted Wen Zhiyan?
All for the Ran family?
But she remembered that the Ran family wasn't exactly a good bunch. They held onto the favor of a handful of rice back then and controlled them until now. Later, they felt that the Wen Group's regulations blocked their source of profit.
If Wen Zhiyan hadn't saved the situation, the Wen Group would have changed hands. Then, those people, feeling that Wen Zhiyan was blocking their wealth, became even more insane and used Ran Lian to try to kill Wen Zhiyan.
She only found out after reading the ending that Ran Lian had a change of heart, but she was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and died in the hospital.
However, she didn't know the specific illness, or perhaps she had missed it.
But, she couldn't go up to her cheap mother-in-law and say that the entire Ran family was using you, and that you were seriously ill.
If she dared to say that, her cheap mother-in-law would probably slap her and curse her.
Thinking of that scene, Fang Miaomiao, with no ambition, shrugged her shoulders. Forget it, forget it.
