Mei Ru never thought that Su Lanxin would have known about her and Su Liancheng for a long time.
While following Su Lanxin into the town's primary school, Mei Ru kept thinking over and over in her mind, where did she and Su Liancheng fail to control themselves well, revealing clues and getting discovered
Su Lanxin and Pei Caiyun were arm in arm. The two old ladies, already with gray hair, were now strolling in the elementary school campus like two young girls.
Pei Caiyun walked and chatted with Su Lanxin with a smile.
The two old friends talked about things that happened many years ago and also about the primary school in the town.
Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "I really appreciate your investment, Lan Xin. Otherwise, the primary school in our town would not be able to complete the renovation, and the students would not be able to attend classes in such a beautiful teaching building."
Su Lanxin smiled and responded: "Caiyun, why are you being so polite to me? If you need anything, just ask me and I will definitely do my best to help you. If you need anything else, just tell me and I will definitely give you whatever you ask for."
Pei Caiyun immediately said, "Oh, don't say that. How can I ask you for so much money?"
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My son already has his own business now, so I don't need to worry about the company's affairs. I can take out all the remaining money. I can exchange my shares for a lot of money. I will invest it all in you, and I will come and be a teacher with you."
Mei Ru followed behind, and was still trying to see where she and Su Liancheng had let the cat out of the bag.
After hearing Su Lanxin's words, she came to her senses instantly and looked at Su Lanxin in front of her with surprise.
At this moment, Mei Ru was really shocked. She didn't expect Su Lanxin to have such a plan.
After hearing this, Pei Caiyun immediately smiled and said, "Okay, don't act cool in front of me. Did you lose the competition with Big Brother?"
When Mei Ru heard this, she was still very surprised. She didn't expect that the old woman in front of her even knew this.
Then, Su Lanxin suddenly hugged Pei Caiyun and sobbed on her shoulder.
"Caiyun, why do you think this is happening? My father didn't give me a chance back then, so why can't I beat him now that I've achieved success?"
Seeing Su Lanxin crying on Pei Caiyun's shoulder like a little girl and complaining at the same time.
This was really the first time that Mei Ru saw Su Lanxin like this.
How can he still be the powerful boss who founded a multinational catering group abroad and opened restaurants in dozens of countries around the world
Pei Caiyun smiled and patted Su Lanxin's shoulder gently.
"Well, haven't you already achieved great success? Why bother about an old plaque like that? And don't you think that the old plaque is well preserved in the hands of Big Brother?"
Su Lanxin sobbed a few more times, and then said: "But I just can't accept it. Why can't I inherit the old plaque?"
At this moment, Su Lanxin was like a rebellious girl who wanted to rebel against her father and brother.
Pei Caiyun was like a teacher and also a close friend, constantly comforting and persuading.
"Why do you have to compete with each other? You are obviously a family. During the years when you were away, my elder brother always missed you and came to me many times, hoping to ask me to help persuade you to come back."
As a bystander, Meiru was really surprised listening to the conversation between the two.
But from another perspective, Mei Ru felt that the President Su she saw now might be the real her.
Pei Caiyun is Su Lanxin's best friend and also her spiritual support.
Under Pei Caiyun's persuasion and guidance, the group entered the campus and came to Pei Caiyun's dormitory. In the end, Pei Caiyun actually coaxed Su Lanxin to sleep.
I saw Su Lanxin sleeping very soundly on Pei Caiyun's simple and plain bed.
Mei Ru suddenly felt that Mr. Su, who had been working so hard all year round, might really need a place like this where he could relax and have a good sleep.
When Mei Ru was thinking this, she saw Pei Caiyun waving at her, so she quietly followed Pei Caiyun out of the dormitory.
Back on campus, the two walked to a place some distance away from the dormitory.
When facing Pei Caiyun alone, Mei Ru was actually a little nervous.
After a moment of silence, Mei Ru couldn't help but speak first: "Aunt Yun, actually I am President Su's secretary."
When Pei Caiyun heard this, a kind smile appeared on her face again: "I know, Lan Xin told me about your affairs. I know every one of you. I know that you and Su Liancheng are schoolmates. You are two years older than him. Then Su Liancheng fell in love with you at first sight and pursued you for more than a year."
Listening to Pei Caiyun's narration piece by piece, Mei Ru was somewhat surprised to find that Pei Caiyun really knew everything.
If Pei Caiyun knew everything, it meant that Su Lanxin knew nothing either.
After talking about Mei Ru and Su Liancheng, Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "You probably don't know that Lan Xin knew that her son had been pursuing you for more than a year. She wrote to me about this more than once. In the letters, she also expressed many times that she felt that you had taken her son away."
Meiru was a little surprised, this was something she had never expected.
Pei Caiyun added: "Why is Lan Xin so harsh on Su Liancheng? You are one of the reasons. She wants her son to suffer more setbacks."
Mei Ru had never thought about this. She always thought that President Su and Su Liancheng had a bad relationship.
Knowing these things, Mei Ru had a new understanding of President Su.
She suddenly realized that Su Lanxin, like most mothers, actually cared very much about her son, and was still cautious about another woman entering her son's life.
Pei Caiyun finally said: "Lan Xin should be very satisfied with your and Su Liancheng's performance, otherwise she would not bring you to see me."
Mei Ru thought for a moment and asked again: "What about Mr. Su, no, Aunt Xin, what about Su Ji?"
Pei Caiyun continued with a smile: "Lan Xin's feelings towards Su Ji should be mixed with love and hate. On the surface, she really wants to take back the old plaque of Su Ji, just to prove herself, but in her heart, she hopes that Su Ji can be better, and hopes that Big Brother can run Su Ji better."
At this point, Pei Caiyun paused before continuing, "If Feng Yifan hadn't appeared, Lan Xin would have taken away the old plaque of Su Ji."
Mei Ru looked at Pei Caiyun in surprise: "Aunt Yun, do you know Feng Yifan?"
Pei Caiyun nodded: "Of course I know, Lan Xin has no secrets from me, and I won't have any secrets from Lan Xin either. We will protect each other's secrets."
Mei Ru asked curiously, "So, what is Aunt Xin's attitude towards Feng Yifan's appearance?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and asked back: "What is the attitude? Don't you know?"
Pei Caiyun's question made Mei Ru not know how to answer.
Pei Caiyun then gave a hint: "Think about it, why was Feng Yifan able to tie with Chen Wei when there were four teachers and brothers who would definitely favor Chen Wei? And why was he able to win in the end?"
Mei Ru also understood immediately: "So, Aunt Xin is very satisfied with Feng Yifan?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "Of course I am satisfied, because Feng Yifan can carry the old plaque of Su Ji. As long as he is willing to work hard, he may have a chance to surpass Uncle Quan Sheng."
Meiru finally understood everything clearly.
Because of Feng Yifan's appearance, Su Lanxin saw hope for the future of Su Ji, so she chose to believe Feng Yifan and left Su Ji and the old plaque to him.
Pei Caiyun finished speaking and sighed, "Actually, what I'm most worried about right now is Lan Xin's health."
Hearing this, Mei Ru was a little surprised and asked: "What's wrong with Aunt Xin's health? Is she not feeling well?"
Pei Caiyun looked at Mei Ru, hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "Lan Xin has actually always had a mental illness, and has begun to show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease."
When Mei Ru heard this, she felt incredible. It was beyond her imagination.
Su Lanxin, the strong woman whom Mei Ru regarded as a role model, actually had a mental illness and was even beginning to show signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Seeing Mei Ru standing there with a confused look on her face, she couldn't say a word.
Pei Caiyun sighed: "Lan Xin is too strong-willed. There are many things she is unwilling to tell you."
At this moment, Mei Ru recalled that about a year ago, Su Lanxin suddenly proposed a strategy to let the company return to China for development, and privately proposed the idea of taking back the old Su Ji plaque and turning it into an international brand.
Then, almost without any warning, Su Lanxin suddenly returned to China with her team at the beginning of the year.
Everything happened so quickly.
Now that Mei Ru thinks back, maybe Su Lanxin has realized her condition, so she is deliberately speeding up her pace, wanting to accomplish what she wants, or to untie the knot in her heart.
Pei Caiyun looked at Mei Ru's shocked expression, sighed and said, "For Lan Xin, she just wanted to find a suitable successor for herself before her condition got out of control, and then come back to see Su Ji, her father and her elder brother."
Mei Ru suddenly asked, "So when we first went to Su Ji, Aunt Xin was dissatisfied with the state of Su Ji run by Uncle Su?"
Pei Caiyun nodded: "Yes, she was very dissatisfied and felt that Big Brother was too conservative. She wanted to stimulate Big Brother and inspire him to make progress. Unfortunately, her method was a bit too radical and caused Big Brother to have a stroke."
Mei Ru recalled the anxious and guilty look on Su Lanxin's face after Su Jinrong had a stroke and fell to the ground.
And then there was the toughness that Su Lanxin showed when she was sent to the hospital for treatment.
She resolutely refused to ask the hospital to rescue him at all costs, and she also invited some domestic experts overnight to help treat Su Jinrong.
It's a pity that it eventually left sequelae, and they were very serious.
Pei Caiyun sighed and said, "Because Lan Xin has a mental illness, she sometimes does some very extreme things. For example, when Big Brother had obviously suffered a stroke, she still chose to force him to get the old plaque directly. She thought that doing so would allow Big Brother to let go of his obsession and recover from his illness."
Mei Ru was a little surprised. She didn't expect Su Lanxin to have such an idea at that time.
Pei Caiyun continued, "I knew about it at the time, and I advised her not to push it so hard. I even thought about going to find her and stop her."
Pei Caiyun looked a little gloomy when she said this, and said helplessly: "Fortunately Feng Yifan showed up in time, otherwise the consequences would be even more disastrous."
When Mei Ru heard this, she felt that it was extremely dangerous.
Because she had clearly felt that day that Su Jinrong could no longer withstand any stimulation.
Considering the situation at that time, it was indeed thanks to Feng Yifan's timely appearance.
Pei Caiyun finished talking to Mei Ru and said to her, "Okay, now you know everything you need to know. You can go back now. Let Lan Xin stay with me for a while. Staying away from all those troubles may be a relief for her. Her condition may be easier to control here."
Mei Ru hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "But if Aunt Xin doesn't go back, everyone will be worried, and what will happen to the company in the future?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and said, "Don't you know what to do about the company's affairs? Don't you understand why Lan Xin brought you here?"
Mei Ru was a little surprised: "Could it be that Aunt Xin intends for me to manage the company in the future?"
Pei Caiyun smiled and patted Mei Ru, then hugged Mei Ru and said softly: "This is the burden your mother-in-law gave you. Your mother-in-law believes that you can bear it."
Mei Ru was held like this, and after hearing what Pei Caiyun said, she felt speechless.
This was different from what she had originally thought, and it was not the reason why she came along.
Mei Ru still felt that Su Lanxin should go back and arrange everything.
But now, Pei Caiyun's attitude was very direct. She let Mei Ru go back alone, and the next Su Ji would be handed over to Mei Ru and Su Liancheng.
Pei Caiyun gave Mei Ru some more encouragement: "Come on, your mother-in-law believes in you, and Aunt Yun also believes in you."
Meiru knew that there seemed to be no way out, and in fact, she was longing for such an opportunity.
Finally, Mei Ru agreed: "Okay, Aunt Yun, I will definitely work hard. Please tell Aunt Xin that I will definitely work hard to protect the company and will not let her hard work go wrong."
Pei Caiyun let go of Mei Ru and said with a smile, "That's right. I believe in you. Keep going."
Before Mei Ru was about to leave, Pei Caiyun said, "By the way, regarding Su Ji's matter, you should know what Lan Xin promised to Su Ji, right? Go back and fulfill your promise. From now on, the company will belong to both of you. Work hard. If you and Su Liancheng fail in running the business, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi will take away your inheritance rights."
Hearing these words, Mei Ru was actually motivated: "Don't worry, Aunt Yun, maybe I'm not as good at cooking as Feng Yifan, but I'm definitely better than him at running a company."
Pei Caiyun nodded with a smile: "That's right, you look like Lan Xin this way."
Mei Ru finally said goodbye to Pei Caiyun, then left the school alone and returned along the same route.
After seeing Mei Ru off at the school gate, Pei Caiyun turned around and saw Su Lanxin standing not far behind her. The two old girlfriends smiled at each other.
Pei Caiyun shouted, "From now on, you stay here and recuperate."
Su Lanxin responded with a smile: "I'll have to trouble you in the future."
