Chapter 153: Go to the Chi Household With Me Tomorrow to Apologize to Chi Jiao

“What? You haven’t figured it out yet?” Lan Qingquan felt that his hint was already very obvious.

“Is Quan Jue from the Quan family in Shang Jing?” Lan Yunhan didn’t notice his trembling tone.

In front of the colossal Quan family, the Lan family was as insignificant as an ant.

There was no comparison.

Lan Qingquan resisted the urge to beat him up. “The Quan family has already come looking for us today. It’s best if you take the initiative to withdraw the case at the police station.”

“How is this possible?… How is this possible?…” Lan Yunhan couldn’t bring himself to believe this truth. His eyes filled with disbelief.

How could that despicable adopted son be a member of the Quan family?!

Wouldn’t he have to swallow back all of his anger this time?!

“There’s one more thing.” Lan Qingquan took a deep breath. “Go to the Chi household with me tomorrow and apologize to Chi Jiao. If she doesn’t forgive you, then get out of our family.”

“Dad!” Lan Yunhan was dealt another huge blow. He looked up at him abruptly.

“007 has announced that they are preparing to sell the patent for the Nine Star Flower,” Lan Qingquan said slowly.

“That’s a good thing.” Lan Yunhan didn’t understand why he suddenly changed the topic. His eyes lit up. “Dad, we have to think of a way to get this patent!”

He felt as if he was on a rollercoaster ride, going up and down at times.

Lan Qingquan sneered. “This is indeed a good thing. If we can obtain the patent rights to the Nine Star Flower, we can use it to develop new drugs. However, 007 also issued another statement. They said very clearly that they won’t be collaborating with our family, much less the companies in business with us.”

In an instant, Lan Yunhan’s entire body fell harshly from the clouds into the mud, causing his eyes to turn black.

“How could this be? Aren’t they trying to destroy our family?” Lan Yunhan muttered.

“Many of the partners we previously agreed on working together with have contacted our company to terminate their collaboration with us.” Lan Qingquan looked at him with eyes that could only be described as utter disappointment. “So, do you understand now? Our family has been destroyed by your hands.”

“No!” Lan Yunhan shook his head subconsciously. “They can’t do this! They can’t treat us like this! Dad, we can’t just sit by and watch as our family gets destroyed like this.”

Only then did Lan Yunhan truly regret breaking off the engagement with Chi Jiao.

If he didn’t cancel the engagement with her, his reputation wouldn’t be tarnished. He then wouldn’t have looked for Chi Jiao to reason with her over such rotten things. He wouldn’t have offended Quan Jue, either.

If he didn’t cancel the engagement with Chi Jiao, he would be able to build a relationship with 007 Laboratory through her, and he might even have gotten the patent rights to the Nine Star Flower.

Why? Why did he have to make such a stupid decision?

This feeling of regret grew wildly from the bottom of his heart. It was like a barbed vine that had wrapped around Lan Yunhan’s entire body, suffocating him.

“I’ll get Yanyan to help me beg Jiaojiao. Beg her not to treat me like this.” How could he have not understood this? The reason why the Lan family had fallen to such a state was definitely related to Chi Jiao somehow. He immediately took out his phone and called Chi Yan.

The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up.

“Yanyan, where are you?” Lan Yunhan asked anxiously.

“Lan Yunhan, stop calling me. I’ve decided to break up with you.” Chi Yan’s cold voice came from the other end of the line. “For our own good, it’s best if we don’t meet again in the future.”
