Yanyan was amused by her: "What kind of nonsense is this?"
"I an, Miss should better not find soone so good-looking. Even soone as loyal to Miss as I am almost got chard by him, let alone others?"
"I think so too." Qiuqiu looked Jiujiu up and down, "Honestly, I seriously suspect that if Monique used beauty to bribe you, you might sell out our Miss."
"What are you saying?" Jiujiu’s face fell.
"Oh, not happy now?" Qiuqiu laughed and pinched her little face, "I’m just joking."
Jiujiu snorted unhappily: "You can joke about anything, but not this."
Qiuqiu quickly bowed: "Got it, Miss Jiu, it’s my fault, please don’t be angry, give us a smile, okay?"
"Pfft!"
Yanyan glanced at the two from the rearview mirror with a helpless expression: "If you keep fussing, one of you co over and drive, stop bothering Miss with useless things."
"It’s okay." Luo Lian waved her hand, "After their antics, I’m feeling much better. No matter the challenges, I’ll face them sooner or later, facing them early is better than late." She took a long breath, "Let’s all relax a bit."
"The mountains are clear, the water is beautiful, the sun is high, good wind blows..."
The loud singing startled everyone, and Yanyan was the first to react: "Miss, it’s your phone."
Luo Lian suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh right, I forgot Qiu changed this ringtone for ." She answered the phone and barely said "hello," when Emma’s voice ca through, "Amy, where are you?"
Luo Lian looked outside: "Mom, we’re about ten minutes away from the airport."
"Amy, after picking up Monique, rember to co to . I’m feeling very unwell; accompany to the hospital." Emma’s voice was a bit weak.
"Mom, where do you feel unwell? Can you endure it?" Luo Lian’s heart lifted. Although Emma wasn’t too nice to her, she was still her adoptive mother, and rembering how her biological mother Luo Xiang lingered on her sickbed made her heart ache.
"My stomach feels uncomfortable, maybe I ate sothing bad the other day, or too much greasy food." Emma sighed, "I’ve looked for your dad, but he’s gone to Beijing..." She choked, "Doesn’t the saying go, ’in China, one day as husband and wife ans a hundred days of grace’? I’ve been married to your dad for so long and even helped him build his business, yet how could he be so heartless now?"
Luo Lian looked helpless: "Mom, I’ll co over right after picking up brother, if you really feel unwell, let Qinqin take you to the hospital first, and we’ll et you there later, okay?"
Emma flatly refused: "No, I want you both with ."
"Alright, then wait for us."
"Amy, hurry up." Emma said, hanging up the phone.
Yanyan glanced at Luo Lian: "Should we speed up?"
Luo Lian waved her hand: "No need, what good is rushing if we miss the plane?"
"Is she really sick or just pretending?" Qiuqiu’s eyes showed concern, "Miss, don’t bla for overthinking, but if I recall correctly, our Lady’s will stated that when Miss turns 24, 60% of L.L’s assets will be transferred to Miss, and the other 40% to Mrs. Emma."
Could Mrs. Emma be trying to get Miss and Young Master together because of this? That way, even if L.L’s shares are transferred to Miss, they’d still be under Mrs. Emma’s family’s control."
"No way." Luo Lian shook her head, "What my mom wants is more than just L.L; she hopes my brother can find bigger support to expand L.L. As for that 60% of shares, it’s not that easy for it to end up with ."
Jiujiu asked with a puzzled face: "But isn’t it specified in the will? I rember Qiuqiu saying that foreign laws are very strict, can she override the law?"
"She can’t override the law, but she can interpret the wording differently." Luo Lian’s gaze turned to the window, "When my mom handed over to her, she must have considered the difficulties of living under soone else’s roof, so the clauses weren’t too harsh. Emma can entirely deem that the 60% of L.L given when L.L was handed to her is the sa as giving it to now. Compared to L.L’s current scale, what is that 60%?"
"I understand." Jiujiu leaned back in her seat dejectedly, "Thankfully, Miss ca to China and founded her own studio. Otherwise, the future would be full of trouble and completely subject to others."
Qiuqiu poked her jokingly: "Looks like you’re not just all brawn and no brains after all."
