245 Don’t Interfere
“I’m going back to Yuecheng tomorrow.”
Sang Qianqian was silent for two seconds. “Since we can’t meet up, I won’t disturb you any longer. Let’s meet again in the future.”
She was about to hang up when Fang Lan stopped her, “Wait.”
Fang Lan wanted to meet Sang Qianqian. It was rare for her to take the initiative to call, and Fang Lan did not want to miss it.
Furthermore, if Sang Qianqian were to return to Yuecheng, there was no telling when she would be back.
Even if Fang Lan wanted to say something, it would be too late.
“How about this, find a place and send me the address.”
Fang Lan made up her mind in an instant. She lowered her voice and said, “I’ll go to you now.”
After hearing Sang Qianqian’s acknowledgment, Fang Lan hung up.
She had just put away her phone and looked up to see Shen Hanyu staring at her. An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped her silently.
Fang Lan’s heart skipped a beat. Did Shen Hanyu hear something?
On second thought, she decided that it was fine even if Shen Hanyu heard her. She was friends with Sang Qianqian and it was not against the law to meet her.
Fang Lan walked over as if nothing had happened, and as expected, she heard Shen Hanyu ask calmly, “She’s looking for you?”
Fang Lan didn’t try to hide it. “Yes, Miss Sang is returning to Yuecheng tomorrow. Did you know that?”
Shen Hanyu didn’t answer. He obviously didn’t know.
“You’re really letting her go?”
Fang Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll never come back?”
Shen Hanyu looked at her expressionlessly and stuffed the cat into her arms.
Sang Qianqian’s meeting place was a coffee shop.
Shen Hanyu took back the cat in her arms. He said expressionlessly, “When you see her, you should say what you should say. You’d better not say anything you shouldn’t. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Fang Lan was speechless.
The feeling of being in someone else’s hands was really not a good feeling. She felt threatened every second.

In the living room, Old Lady Zhen was sitting on the sofa and talking to Shen Shaofeng.
“Hanyu was able to reunite with the Zhen family. Perhaps Yixin’s spirit in heaven sent him back to me.”
Old Lady Zhen was wearing a dark blue brocade Tang suit, looking graceful and dignified. “What I mean is that Hanyu should stay in the capital from now on and spend more time with me. If you agree, then that’s good. If you don’t,”
Old Lady Zhen picked up her teacup and took a sip. “Then you can only bear with it.”
Old Lady Zhen and her husband, Zhen Yuanhua, had three children. Their eldest daughter, Zhen Yishu, was already married. Their second son, Zhen Yiping, was the head of the Zhen family, and their youngest daughter was Zhen Yixin.
After Zhen Yixin’s escape, Zhen Yuanhua was initially furious, but as time passed, all that was left was regret and longing.
Old Lady Zhen loved her frail younger daughter even more. After her daughter went missing, she cried and could not let it go for years.
Although many famous doctors in Beijing had diagnosed Zhen Yixin’s heart disease and said that she would not be able to live for more than ten years, Zhen Yixin had lived for eighteen years longer than the doctor’s prediction.
However, Old Lady Zhen could not bring herself to be happy.
Moreover, she even blamed Shen Shaofeng for “occupying” her daughter for eighteen years, which made her and her husband unable to see their daughter one last time.
Therefore, Old Lady Zhen did not have a good impression of Shen Shaofeng, so she did not show him any mercy with her words.
“It’s rare for Hanyu to reunite with you, so it’s only right for him to stay in the capital with you.”
Shen Shaofeng didn’t mind the old lady’s coldness. He said politely, “I don’t mind how long you want him to stay with you.”
“You said it yourself.”
Old Lady Zhen had been waiting for Shen Shaofeng to say this. “You should know that Yiping’s two children are both daughters. The eldest girl only wants to do jewelry design, and the second girl is sensible, but she’s only 14 years old. I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve already asked the legal department of the group to transfer all the assets and shares under Yixin’s name to Hanyu. As long as Hanyu is willing, I can let him manage all of the Zhen family’s huge businesses in the future.”
The old lady took another sip of tea before she continued unhurriedly, “Although Hanyu’s surname is Shen, he’s Yixin’s son, which means he’s a member of the Zhen family. So you’d better not have any hopes of letting him return to Ming City, and don’t interfere.”
Shen Shaofeng didn’t mind and said respectfully, “It’s Hanyu’s good fortune that you value him so much. Don’t worry, I won’t have any objections.”
The old lady hummed, and her expression finally eased a little.
Fang Lan and Shen Hanyu entered the room.
The man was cold and handsome, and the woman was bright and eye-catching. The living room seemed to be brighter.
The old lady’s gaze fell on the two of them, the smile in the corner of her eyes deepened.
“Grandma, you see, I said I would catch that cat, and I did.”
Fang Lan held the cat and raised it up proudly. “I didn’t ask Hanyu for help at all.”
Old Lady Zhen liked cats and had kept many in the back garden.
There was one cat she liked in particular, so she had placed it in a cat cage and moved it to the front yard.
Fang Lan thought the cat was cute, so she opened the cage and hugged it.
Who knew that the cat would suddenly run away to the back garden when she wasn’t paying attention.
Fang Lan didn’t even take her phone with her as she chased after the cat, claiming that she would catch it on her own.
The old lady was worried and had asked Shen Hanyu to help her. That was why she and Shen Hanyu had been in the back garden.
“It seems like there are a few more cats in your back garden.”
Fang Lan squatted down and opened the cage in the corner of the living room. As she put the cat back into the cage, she said, “That cattery is going to become an exhibition of world-famous cats.”
...
Old Lady Zhen smiled and said, “Wasn’t it your second uncle who gave it to me? He knew that I liked cats and would send me one from time to time. Sometimes, I think that there are too many cats and I should give a few away, but I can’t bear to do that.”
“Then you can keep it. The cattery in the back garden is big enough anyway. It can keep as many cats as you want.”
As Fang Lan spoke, she took the old lady’s hand and said, “Grandma, my friend was looking for me just now, so I have to go see her. I have to go out now, but I’ll come back later to accompany you.”
The old lady frowned. “It’s almost time for dinner. Why do you have to go out?”
“I’m in a hurry, my friend is waiting for me.”
Fang Lan apologized profusely and promised to come back for dinner as soon as possible. The old lady finally nodded reluctantly.
Fang Lan heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave. However, the old lady suddenly looked at Shen Hanyu and ordered, “Hanyu, go with Xiao Lan and come back soon.”
Shen Hanyu was speechless. “Alright.”
—
Sang Qianqian’s meeting place was a coffee shop.
After Shen Hanyu sent Fang Lan to her destination, he did not get out of the car and had no intention of meeting Sang Qianqian.
