Chapter 886 Shen Lu's Reminder

“Grandma, can we just take the dividends? Since you already have an heir, why don’t you let him manage the domestic assets as well?”

Yan Qingsong's shrewdness vanished suddenly, and he asked in a silly manner.

"Yes, Mom, that's what we mean."

"Actually, I'm already struggling to run several supermarkets, and I also run a beauty salon."

Yan Yu opened that beauty salon to build relationships. She made money and maintained relationships with the supermarket, so although she wasn't very career-driven, her annual income was quite considerable.

"You and your son really have no ambition at all," Dong Mingjun said with a helpless smile.

Her previous concerns were no longer an issue for them.

"Grandma, did you get married abroad?" Yan Qingsong suddenly asked this question.

Yan Yu's expression changed slightly: "Qingsong!"

"It's okay, it's normal for children to be curious. I'm not married and I don't have any other children."

"The heir abroad is my adopted son."

"When I'm here, I can keep him in check, but now that I'm gone, how can you be sure he won't devour your family fortune?"

"It is never a wise choice to let others manage your business, unless you and your son are both hopeless."

To be honest, Dong Mingjun felt a little regretful.

The son chose his father's path, the grandson enjoys romance and poetry, and the only daughter-in-law who is in business is surprisingly content with her lot.

"Grandma, I can learn from you, but I don't want to give up dancing." Yan Qingsong chose to settle for second best.

He knew his mother's personality; if she were to take over the business, she could manage, but she would struggle to keep it afloat.

Why bother?

If it is his responsibility, he should take it.

Moreover, although his grandmother said she could take him abroad for treatment, Yan Qingsong was not sure if he would be able to dance again after he recovered.

If he can't get on stage, he will still have to learn other survival skills.

His grandmother looks very capable; he should be able to learn a lot from her.

"I won't restrict your life." Dong Mingjun had spent so many years abroad, and her thinking was somewhat Westernized.

"Thank you grandma."

The meal then proceeded smoothly.

Dong Mingjun also asked Jiang Yingxue, "Ayu, why didn't I see that child who was with you this morning?"

Yan Yumei thought that her mother-in-law would ask again: "She has been in the capital for a long time. I came to take care of Qingsong, and she went back to Yunnan."

"She's been taking care of your son, why didn't you bring her over for a casual meal?"

Yan Yu couldn't quite figure out what her mother-in-law meant.

But she could tell that her mother-in-law clearly didn't like Yingxue, so why was she forcing her to stay for dinner?

Before Yan Yu could speak, Dong Mingjun added, "They've helped us so much, even if we don't treat them to a meal, we can't skimp on the thank-you gift."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingsong understood what the old lady meant.

"Grandma is right, we will definitely thank her properly."

Yan Yu understood that the old lady meant for her to be polite and proper, so as not to give anyone cause for criticism.

After all, they really did come to take care of Yan Qingsong.

Although Yan Qingsong thought Jiang Yingxue was just making things worse, the others didn't know that.

Others only see that she is a girl who is genuinely taking care of you, and that she is risking her reputation for it.

Although the area isn't exactly conservative, it's not particularly open either. If Jiang Yingxue were to spread even a little bit of rumors back home, Yan Qingsong's reputation would be damaged.

Dong Mingjun doesn't mind her grandson's reputation being ruined, but Yan Yu doesn't seem to be the type to adapt to life outside, so she'll definitely have to go back to living in southern Yunnan.

Dong Mingjun's words were a suggestion, not a demand for her to do anything.

Yan Yu understood this as well, and felt only gratitude towards her mother-in-law, without any resentment.

"Don't worry, I already transferred some pocket money to her. I'll give her a big gift when I get back."

Dong Mingjun was quite satisfied with his daughter-in-law's comprehension.

Shen Lu and Grandma Shen basically just ate and didn't talk much.

If Dong Mingjun and Yan Yu hadn't both persuaded them to have lunch together, they wouldn't have wanted to participate in this meal.

For Grandma Dong, although she only has one grandson left, overall, she is not unlucky.

This grandson is not an incapable ruler.

Although I studied dance, I'm not a complete idiot.

She only needed to give a little hint, and Yan Qingsong could figure it out on his own.

Before returning to the hospital, Yan Qingsong asked Shen Lu, "Junior, you said before that you had a way to help me recover, is that true?"

"how much time is required?"

Shen Lu didn't really want to get involved in his affairs.

“I’m not entirely sure either. If Grandma Dong can find you a better doctor, I suggest you give it a try.”

Regardless of whether Shen Lu was unsure or bothered by Jiang Yingxue's previous attempt to drive him away, the fact remains that Jiang Yingxue refused to help him.

"Okay, I still want to thank my junior and Yanran. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have firmly believed that I still have hope of recovery."

"Come on, senior."

Shen Lu didn't respond, and didn't say a word to him about Sheng Yanran.

Yan Qingsong lowered his eyelids, concealing the disappointment in his eyes.

He likes Sheng Yanran, but it seems that Sheng Yanran only has feelings for him as a classmate.

Or perhaps they are friends.

It's a little deeper than the usual friendship between classmates, but that's about it.

When he broke his leg, he was glad that he hadn't confessed his feelings to Sheng Yanran. Otherwise, how could a cripple like him be worthy of an elegant swan?

He doesn't dare mention it now because his leg hasn't healed yet.

Yan Qingsong clenched his fists secretly, thinking that there would be a future only after he had truly recovered.

"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to remind you of, senior." Shen Lu didn't care what Yan Qingsong was thinking.

Yan Qingsong looked up at her with a blank expression.

Shen Lu: "I met my cousin's other partner, Yu Tong, before."

“After you were injured, he took your place and went abroad to participate in the second competition. In fact, he was the biggest beneficiary.”

Sheng Yanran went abroad to participate in two competitions.

When she returned from her first trip abroad, her mother forced her to go on blind dates, which infuriated her. The second time was just recently.

I've only been back for less than half a month.

She won awards twice, which is why she was chosen by the dance troupe.

The dance troupe had originally chosen Yan Qingsong, but unfortunately, he withdrew from the second competition due to injury.

The opportunity was missed.

"Have you ever considered that your leg injury is not simple?"

If it weren't for Grandma Dong, Shen Lu wouldn't have wanted to say anything.

Because she felt that she and this senior Yan probably wouldn't have any further interaction.

Yan Qingsong's expression changed slightly: "How could he possibly do this just to participate in the competition?"

Moreover, as far as he knew, although Yu Tong also won an award, compared to Sheng Yanran, people were not very optimistic about his performance.

On the contrary, many people see Yu Tong as the weak link in the duet.

Yu Tong almost ruined that match.
