Yun Nan bowed once more in gratitude before stating, “So, why did things come to this if my temporary taking over has no impact on the Shi Corporation? That’s because… Everyone has seen the Shi Corporation’s current situation. From the turbulence of our corporation’s stock prices to the perplexing disruption just now, I trust that everyone understands without me saying it that the Shi Corporation has become the target of some unseen mastermind.”

She continued, “I’m standing here to announce on behalf of the Shi family and the Shi Corporation that we won’t bow to anyone! We will not compromise and admit defeat, no matter who they are! Please give us your strength and support, everyone!”

The applause was thunderous. This time, it wasn’t just the media reporters clapping; even the shareholders standing on the periphery and watching the show applauded.

‘She’s indeed an outstanding woman. It’s no wonder Shi Yun trusts her so,’ they thought. ‘And it’s very much like the Shi family to bravely take responsibility during such a criticaljuncture and protect everyone who followed and supported them.’ The shareholders couldn’t help but feel secretly thankful that they fortunately didn’t sell their shares. ‘A Shi family like that is worth following for generations.’

[At the Shi familyHs house]

Chen Yao and Xu Yun watched the TV where they were broadcasting the impromptu interview live and heaved a sigh of relief in unison.

Shi Kong chuckled, “I told you guys not to worry, didn’t I? Our Yun Nan is awesome! This is child’s play to her!”

“Dad!” Xu Yun complained. ‘Yun Nan is a girl, after all. Don’t you feel sorry for

her this time for putting such a heavy burden on her?”

Chen Yao stuffed a tangerine into Xu Yun’s hand and smilingly remarked, “Old Shi means well. If we don’t push Yun Nan to the fore, I’m afraid those hiding in the dark won’t dare to show themselves. They’ll only act when they’re sure that Old Master Shi here and Shi Yun are too old to do anything!”

Shi Kong nodded vigorously. “That’s right. Right now, I’m just an old man who fell ill because something had happened to my grandson.” He burst out in laughter after saying that.

Chen Yao and Xu Yun met each other’s gazes and smiled. Xu Yun sighed, “I understand the logic. I just can’t bear to see the children suffer.”

Chen Yao chortled, “You’re fussing like an old hen. You’d like to protect the children under your wing and shelter them against all danger. That won’t do! Moreover, even your youngest, Shi Xiu, doesn’t need to be protected anymore. I really like that girl! She reminds me of myself at that age. I was slightly mad that she forgot about me when looking for investors for her show the other day.”

Xu Yun smiled at the mention of her younger daughter, and the worry in her heart eased quite a bit. Shi Kong held the remote control and urged, “Let’s watch Shi Xiu’s show! She asked us to give her pointers!”

Chen Yao and Xu Yun quickly agreed. The maid came and informed, “Madam, the Xi family’s young madam, Lin Yu, has come to visit the old master with a gift. ”

Xu Yun and Chen Yao looked at each other, and Xu Yun uttered, “That Lin Yu is truly Han Yuan’s good daughter-in-law. I think the Xi family will be quite amazing when she becomes accomplished. However, that girl never puts her mind in the proper place.”

Chen Yao didn’t know much about these youngsters and asked, “You mean, she’s here to probe you?”

Xu Yun nodded. “It must be. She doesn’t have a great relationship with Yun Nan and Shi Xiu. Although our family has a good relationship with the Xi family, it’s not her place to represent the Xi family and come to visit Dad. That should be Xi Cheng’s business. It looks like Lin Yu took charge of the Xi family after she took advantage of the chaos caused by Han Yuan’s coma and got married to Xi Cheng. That girl is really something!”

“Dad,” Xu Yun turned to Shi Kong and said, “you should return to your room and lie down. We still have to keep up the act.”

Shi Kong put down the remote control and complained as he walked to his bedroom, “Why is such a young girl so full of schemes? How dislikeable! ”

Chen Yao told Xu Yun, “You should lie on the chaise lounge here, too. Pretend you’re sick. I’ll get rid of her!”

Lin Yu and Shi Gao didn’t expect Chen Yao to be the one receiving them. Xu Yun lay on the chaise lounge to one side, looking very pale, and weakly stated, “It’s kind of you girls to think of us and come visit.”

Lin Yu hurriedly replied, “It’s nothing, Auntie. I’m here to visit you on my mother-in-law’s behalf. She’s awake now, but she can’t speak or move. I came to see you so that I can let her know how you’re doing when I get back and let her rest assured.”

Xu Yun smiled faintly. She knew very well what kind of person Han Yuan was. However, it was a good thing she woke up. Hence, Xu Yun said to Chen Yao, “The Xi family has truly gotten themselves a good daughter-in-law. Lin Yu is managing everything on her own. Han Yuan is really lucky.”

Chen Yao smiled.. Shi Gao looked around and asked, “Where’s Xiang Yang? Didn’t you say that she’s back, too?”
