"I didn't expect that Lan Zhan would reveal my background to the media." Xia Xingchen thought of something and looked at him worriedly. "You resigned suddenly. I'm worried... he will try to harm you."
Bai Yeqing rested one arm behind his head, his expression darker, as if he was thinking about something.
He understood Lan Zhan's thoughts very well.
However, he was bound to lose the position of the chairman of the Senate. Even if he remained in office, he would have to remove this thorn in his side sooner or later. He never made public the things he did behind his back for the sake of face, but he knew them clearly in his heart.
After a while, he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of these things."
Xia Xingchen unconsciously recalled the dream she had a few days ago, and felt a little flustered. She subconsciously held his hand tightly and looked up at him, "No matter what, you have to be careful. Promise me."
Bai Yeqing's eyes deepened, he lowered his head, and kissed her forehead with a soothing touch. Then, he moved his kiss to her lips.
… … … … …
It's late at night.
After Lan Zhan came out of Madam Lanting's room, he kept a gloomy face.
Yun Xiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and finally couldn't help saying, "Today is my eldest sister's birthday after all, why did you bring this up? Although Mr. President and Xingchen are not really related by blood, they are still siblings in name, and it won't sound good if it gets out. If he hadn't taken the initiative to resign, I don't know how the news would be written tomorrow. Wouldn't it force him to lose his position?"
"What do you know!" After being scolded by Lan Ting, he was already holding his breath. Now being nagged again, his face became even uglier. He lay down on the bed in his pajamas and closed his eyes. After a while, he spoke again: "If he wants to resign, then he can resign. Since he has made up his mind, I will make him unable to sit in this position and force him to resign!"
Yun Xiang turned her head and looked at her husband in confusion.
After a while, he moved his lips and said, "You...are you going to change sides? Are you planning to follow Vice President Yu?"
Lan Zhan naturally had such thoughts. But Yu Zeyao was a very vigilant person, so he was not so easy to negotiate with. Therefore, today's news could only be regarded as his initial expression of loyalty.
Yu Zeyao and Bai Yeqing have always had a relationship of mutual gains and losses. Before Bai Yeqing left, his reputation was ruined, which also ruined the reputation of their party. In the next election, Yu Zeyao's victory will be more stable and more certain. He will naturally remember this favor today.
"I don't understand what you're thinking, but I know that Big Sister and Ye Ye don't support you in doing this! I won't say anything about Big Sister, but Ye Ye locked herself in the door as soon as she came back and never came out! All those birthday presents you gave her in previous years were thrown out of her door today!"
Lan Zhan frowned, "Why is she angry with me? Bai Yeqing wants to resign, it's his business!"
"Don't you know Ye Ye yet? She relies all her energy on Mr. President. If you do this and hurt him, she will definitely feel bad."
"You women are all sentimental and unreasonable! I am doing this for the sake of the whole family, right?"
Lan Zhan felt depressed and turned around with his back to his wife.
Yun Xiang looked at the back, sighed, and murmured bitterly: "Is it for our family, or is it just to satisfy your ever-expanding desires as a man? Only you know it best..."
She turned over, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, and slowly said: "I have never asked you how you earned all the money over the years. But why not stop now? It is enough for our family to live like this..."
Her words seemed to have pierced Lan Zhan's most sensitive nerve. He turned around suddenly and stared at Yun Xiang with a terrifying look in his eyes, "Don't keep talking nonsense! How did I get all that money? I earned it through life and death! You can only say these words in front of me today, and you are not allowed to mention them in front of others! Not even a word! Not in front of my elder sister!"
After a few words, his tone became more and more serious, and his expression changed again and again.
Yun Xiang saw this and his heart skipped a beat. He was terrified and worried.
She sat up and looked at her husband, "Lan Zhan, tell me the truth, did you... did you do something shameful? Otherwise, why would you be so anxious to find a protective umbrella when the current president hasn't resigned yet?"
Lan Zhan suddenly threw off the quilt, glared fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Do you still want to live like this?!"
Yun Xiang was about to say something when the door of the room was knocked. Outside the door, the servant's panicked voice sounded, "Master, Madam, please come out quickly!"
There was a sobbing tone in the servant's voice.
Lan Zhan and Yun Xiang looked at each other. Yun Xiang frowned and said, "This is the voice of Xiao Meng who is taking care of Ye Ye!"
When Lan Zhan heard this, his heart sank and he got out of bed almost immediately. Yun Xiang also hurriedly followed him, wearing clothes.
Lan Zhan opened the door and asked, "Did something happen to the young lady?"
"Xiao Meng doesn't know either." Xiao Meng started crying as soon as she spoke. "I brought dinner to the young lady before, and she said she wanted to take a shower, so I ran the water for her and she came out. Then I wanted to go in and collect the dishes for her, but no matter how I knocked on the door, there was no sound. I waited and waited, but two hours had passed, and there was still no sound from the young lady. I'm worried... I'm worried..."
The servant didn't dare to say any more after that.
Lan Zhan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed the servant away and rushed towards his daughter's room.
"Ye Ye!" Yun Xiang threw herself against the door and banged on it. When she spoke, her voice was trembling. "Ye Ye, open the door, don't scare mom!"
"Ye Ye!" Lan Zhan pounded on the door with his fist. He had practiced this technique, and after one or two poundings, the door was shaking. After pounding a few times, there was no response, so he said in a choked voice, "Lan Ye, open the door for me! Otherwise, when I get in, I'll make you pay!"
When Yun Xiang heard this, her eyes turned red and she slapped her husband angrily, "You are still scaring our daughter. If something really happens, I think you will be heartbroken!"
Lan Zhan was also anxious. Lan Ye's daughter had always been the apple of his eye and was dearer to him than anything else. He managed to remain calm at the moment. He turned around and shouted to the servant, "What are you still standing there for? Go find the key!"
"But the door to the young lady's room is locked. The key won't open it at all!"
When Lan Zhan heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He pulled his wife back a little and kicked the door hard.
