At that time, Shi Chengji and Fan Wen didn't know whether Shi Ye had discovered the poisoning, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

And because Shi Ye had already moved out, their plans had to be put on hold.

After hearing Fan Wen say that she wanted to continue the plan from that year, Shi Chengji quickly looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he lowered his voice and spoke to Fan Wen.

"Don't act rashly! Shi Ye's body looks like he has recovered. He moved out suddenly that year because he must have discovered that he was poisoned. If he was already on guard, our plan back then could not go ahead. We must think long and hard."

Fan Wen said anxiously, "Dad, we can't wait any longer! His wife Gu Jinlan is now the apple of the Zhao family's eye. Now he has the Zhao family's help. It will be more and more difficult for us to deal with him. If we wait any longer, we will have no chance at all!"

Shi Chengji frowned slightly and looked at Fan Wen questioningly, "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Is there any other reason?"

Fan Wen's eyes dodged for a moment, and she quickly slowed down her tone and said, "There is no other reason, I am considering Liangliang, you should also be able to see that between Liangliang and Shi Xingran, grandma likes Shi Xingran more.

And you saw it downstairs just now. Shi Ye is increasingly not treating us as a family.

My grandmother is old now, and her health is very unstable. If she passes away suddenly one day and there is no one to restrain her, she will definitely kick us out of the house immediately!

Dad, now is the best opportunity! He will come back less often in the future, and it will be more difficult for us to take action.

This time I changed the medicine, which can make him fall ill quickly and die soon. As long as he falls, you can immediately unite with other group shareholders and take control of the company into your hands."

Shi Chengji asked doubtfully, "Will the medicine this time be found out?"

Fan Wen said: "No, don't worry."

Shi Chengji asked again: "Where did you get the medicine? How can you be sure it won't be detected?"

"I..." Fan Wen hesitated, "I have my own channels. Don't ask me about this. I didn't lie to you back then. Didn't Shi Ye never find out about us?"

Shi Chengji frowned and was hesitant.

In fact, over the years, seeing Shi Ye make the Time Group become unprecedentedly prosperous, he recognized Shi Ye's abilities in his heart.

They felt more and more that with their abilities, they could never defeat Shi Ye.

So he backed off and didn't dare to take any more risks.

Fan Wen saw Shi Chengji's retreat and said, "Dad, if it is exposed, I promise that I will never tell you, and I will bear everything alone. And if it succeeds, we will both benefit, and you don't need to do anything, just don't stop me."

Shi Chengji looked at Fan Wen with a half-believing and half-doubting look.

Fan Wen added, "Think about it. If I betray you, what good will that do me? If I bear all the responsibility, at least I can protect you. I also want you and Akang to take care of Liangliang in the future. Why should I drag you into this?"

Shi Chengji nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Fan Wen said made sense.

"Dad, your nod means you agree?" Fan Wen smiled, "Then I'll go to the kitchen first."

Without waiting for Shi Chengji to speak, Fan Wen held her clothes pocket tightly and quickly went downstairs.

The garden of the Shi family's old house was passed down from their ancestors. The garden is full of poetic and picturesque beauty, showing the unique charm of classical gardens.

At this time, Old Madam Shi was walking in front holding Shi Xingran's hand, while Shi Ye was following silently behind.

Shi Xingran looked back at Shi Ye, then looked at Old Madam Shi: "Grandma, are you angry with my father?"

"No."

"But Dad doesn't dare to talk to you anymore."

Madam Shi stopped and turned to look at Shi Ye, "Your father is so unruly, he would never dare to be in front of me."

Shi Ye sighed softly, "Grandma, I know I made you unhappy just now, but I..."

Hearing Fan Wen's accusations that he and Qingli had an improper relationship, he was really angry.

Naturally, I was in no good mood to talk to other people afterwards.

"Actually, grandma doesn't blame you. I'm already very happy that you can bring Ranran back to see an old lady like me."

Madam Shi also sighed and turned to look at a water lily lying quietly in the pond, "I just feel uncomfortable. We are obviously a family, why are we all like enemies?

In the past, I could comfort myself that this is how it is in wealthy families. But since I saw the Zhao family, I realized that not all wealthy families are like ours.

In recent days, I have been reflecting on myself, wondering if I, as the mistress of the house, have done anything wrong? Ahem…"

As she spoke, Madam Shi suddenly started coughing.

Shi Ye's heart softened, and he quickly stepped forward and gently patted Madam Shi's back, "I will try to control my temper next time."

Madam Shi raised her head, her doting eyes carrying a helpless smile, "You don't need to endure it, it's grandma who owes you, and this family owes you too."

"Grandma, don't say that. You don't owe me anything."

To Shi Mufan and Yan Yi, what grandma did back then was indeed unfair.

But grandma owes nothing to her grandson.

He had no parents around him since he was a child, and his grandmother always protected him.

It was also his grandmother who supported him to become the helmsman of Time Group.

Madam Shi was very pleased: "I'm glad you don't blame grandma."

Shi Xingran interrupted and said, "Dad loves grandma very much!"

Hearing this, Madam Shi looked down at Shi Xingran, who was looking up at them with his little face, and couldn't help but smile, "Ranran is getting better at speaking now."

How could the previous Ranran say these words?

Shi Xingran grinned, "My mother said that we should be brave enough to express our love, because people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. If we don't express our love, others won't know it."

Madam Shi rubbed Shi Xingran's head and said, "Well, mom taught you well."

At this time, a maid came over and said, "Madam, dinner is ready."

Everyone was seated in the restaurant.

Next to the chair where Old Madam Shi was sitting, there were two empty seats reserved for Shi Ye and Shi Xingran.

As long as Shi Ye comes back, the seat next to Old Madam Shi must be left vacant for him.

Because Madam Shi’s preference for Shi Ye is obvious to all.

When the family dinner begins, everyone except the servants who serve the food has to stay away.

Qingli leaned on the door frame outside the restaurant, staring inside eagerly, sniffed, "What a nice smell."

Jiang Kun reminded quietly: "Don't do this."

"It's none of your business." Qingli rolled his eyes at Jiang Kun and stretched his neck to look inside.

After smelling the aroma of the food, she pursed her lips in grievance:

"Hmm~ Really, I thought I could taste the food of a top wealthy family by following Master Shi, but how come I became a watchdog?

o(╥﹏╥)o I want to complain to Lan, her husband doesn’t give me food! He abuses me! "
