Looking at Yan Huai's expression, Xie Shu said, "You have stayed in Jiangcheng for so long this time. Does Miss Tang know your identity now?"

"I don't know." Yan Huai shook his head calmly.

Xie Shu laughed and said, "You're keeping it a secret. So what's the reason you came back this time?"

"My friend here is in trouble, I'm here to help."

"This is not a solution. She will find out sooner or later."

"I don't know how to tell her. I just want to wait until the agreement is over."

"Then you will have to stay there for a long time, right? Xiao Huai, your father is not young anymore, you should help him share more of the burden..."

"I will balance my time well, so you don't have to worry about this, mom."

"..." Xie Shu sighed, "You shouldn't have concealed your identity and deceived others in the first place."

Yan Huai added: "My mother-in-law doesn't know about the agreement between us. She has hinted to me many times that I should shift the focus of my work to China. Shishi is her only daughter, and she will not let Shishi go abroad with me."

Xie Shu was stunned. "Now in your mother-in-law's eyes, you are an orphan, so it is better for you to stay in Jiangcheng. Perhaps, after she knows your identity and your parents are here, we can discuss it."

"My mother-in-law is very protective. If she knew my identity, she would not allow Shishi to come." Yan Huai smiled, "This is an ideal situation. In an unideal situation, she would separate Shishi and me."

Xie Shu: “…”

Thinking of the conflict between Ilia and Tang Shishi, she was silent for a moment, "I understand your mother-in-law's feelings, but your career is here..."

It’s not that Xie Shu is reluctant to part with his son, but the family business is there, and Yan Huai wants to focus on Jiangcheng. The family members here will not agree unless Yan Huai gives up the inheritance.

"It doesn't matter. I can just run back and forth a few more times."

Xie Shu sighed, "As long as you think it's okay."

After sending Xie Shu to the car, Yan Huai watched the car drive away and returned to the hospital ward.

He glanced at Ilia lying on the hospital bed, told the servants to take good care of her, and went to the company.

Yan Huai came out of the elevator and just stepped into the office floor, he ran into his cousin Noah.

Noah was wearing a well-tailored dark suit and had a gentle smile on his face.

Seeing Yan Huai, he walked up quickly and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Brother, you're back! Welcome!"

Yan Huai smiled slightly, held Noah's hand, and said calmly: "Thank you, Noah."

"Uncle is really a fool. Ilia's illness has nothing to do with you, but he insisted on transferring you to the branch in Country Z. Thank you for your hard work, brother. Now Uncle has transferred you back, right?"

Yan Huai nodded: "Yes, I heard that the projects you have been responsible for recently are progressing very smoothly. I am very happy for you."

Noah's eyes flashed with pride, but he hid it and said modestly: "No, it's all team effort. I just did my part."

Yan Huai patted Noah's shoulder and said sincerely: "Don't be modest, your ability is obvious to everyone. I am relieved that the company has a capable person like you."

Hearing Yan Huai say this in the tone of the future person in charge of the company, Noah's smile froze, and his tone was a little stiff, "How can I compare to my brother? As soon as my brother came back, Uncle gave you the project in cooperation with Hawkeye Technology. It is obvious that he has great trust in my ability."

Yan Huai smiled but did not deny it. He just said, "According to your current progress, after you have a few more years of experience, you will definitely surpass me."

Although it sounded like a compliment, Nuoyan's face darkened involuntarily.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Yan Huai walked straight to his office.

Noah stood there, watching Yan Huai's back disappear at the end of the corridor. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

He returned to his office, closed the door, sat in his chair, and tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table.

He said how much he valued him, but as soon as Yan Huai came back, he took over an important project. Noah snorted in his heart.

After all, he is my biological son.

Because of this, no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

Noah clenched his fists, with a hint of reluctance and anger in his eyes.

Fortunately, he had already seen through Uncle's true face and did not hold out any expectations.

Dad is right. Only by kicking Yan Huai out can he get the chance to control the family business.

When Noah returned home in the evening, his face was still gloomy.

Alice is pruning branches in the living room. She has spent a lot of money to install a mechanical finger on her hand, and she is in the practice adaptation stage.

Just recently, she and Noah had a wedding and became husband and wife.

Seeing him come back, Alice looked up and asked, "Why are you so late today? Is work not going well?"

Noah took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, saying in an irritable tone: "Caesar is back."

Alice paused, and the branch in her hand fell to the ground. Her broken fingers still seemed to be aching.

A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she bent down to pick up the flower branch, "Isn't this just right?"

"I just couldn't accept that he took over the Hawkeye project as soon as he came back. I worked so hard, but in the end I'm still not as good as him, my own son."

"Of course, they were a family then, and you were just an outsider to them." Alice smiled, "Even if Ilia was that stupid, she would get more resources in the company than you."

Noah pounded his leg hard. "By the way, I heard that Ilia was hospitalized after a car accident. She was seriously injured. She probably can't participate in our plan. This is good, so she won't betray us."

Noah still couldn't let go of his uncle's biological daughter, Ilia.

Alice shook her head gently, "I know Ilia, she hates Caesar so much, she won't betray us."

She added, "Ilia must be involved in our plan. This is a layer of insurance for us. Besides, it will be more convenient for her to take action."

If something happened along the way, old Wilson would either punish Ilia as well or let them both go.

"But Ilia is lying in bed right now, I'm afraid she can't help us."

Alice shook her head disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, I'll go to the hospital to see her tomorrow and talk to her by the way. It doesn't have to be her who did it herself, and the servants at home will not arouse suspicion."

Noah pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say. Complete the plan as soon as possible. Uncle is sixty years old this year, and we don't have much time."

Two years before old Wilson retires, he will inevitably gradually delegate power to the next head of the family. Once Yan Huai takes over all the power, they will have no chance.

Alice said softly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

The next day, in the hospital ward.

After breakfast, Yan Huai, Xie Shu and old Wilson's family of three came to the hospital to visit Ilia.

Coincidentally, Ilia was awake now, eating breakfast under the care of the servants.

Now, she can only eat some liquid food that is easy to digest, such as soup and porridge.

"Dad, Mom, you're here." Ilia greeted them.

Seeing that Ilia looked much better, Xie Shu smiled and said, "We came to see you. Have breakfast first."

"Well," Ilia's face froze when she saw Yan Huai behind them, "Brother, you are here too."
