Chapter 17 I'm an only child, where did my younger brother come from?

Strings and Brightness came in.

One person was carrying two glasses of rose honey water, and the other was carrying cleaning tools.

"Mrs. Ming, Madam." Xian Si bent down and placed the water glass in front of the two of them.

Sang Yuwan lifted her eyelids slightly and said calmly, "The mat at the bathroom door is a bit dirty and should be replaced."

“Madam, I’ll handle it immediately.” Xian Si understood instantly, put down the tray, and bowed her head in response.

Sang Yuwan then picked up her water glass and took two small sips.

Lan Xiya remained seated, only looking at Sang Yuwan, her fingers curling slightly.

Xiansi walked quickly to the bathroom door and glanced inside.

The frosted glass in the bathroom reflected a person's image, making it appear and disappear intermittently.

Xian Si's heart pounded like thunder, and her expression froze for half a second.

She let out a heavy sigh, pulled up the doormat, and locked the bathroom door from the outside.

Seeing this, Sang Yuwan said with a slight smile, "From now on, don't let anyone else in except you."

Xiansi's ears turned red, and she nodded.

Lan Xiya chimed in, "She already stopped me at the door, who else would she dare let in?"

Sang Yuwan's eye twitched involuntarily. "I was referring to the servants."

Lan Xiya said, "You're right to be cautious. With Master Bo gone and you succeeding as the head of the family, countless eyes are on you. You must keep your distance from people, especially men. Even if it's Minglang, it's best to come in less often in the future."

Minglang, who was cleaning the carpet, paused.

He was a servant born into the Ming family and grew up with Sang Yuwan, and they were like siblings.

At the same time, he was also the bodyguard appointed by the Ming family head to Sang Yuwan.

Sang Yuwan's heart sank, her eyes churning with emotion. "Auntie, are you saying that all my employees will have to be women from now on?"

“That’s not what I meant… I meant…” Lan Xiya’s heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fingers.

"Auntie, is there anything else?" Sang Yuwan's tone turned colder, clearly indicating that she was giving him the boot.

Lan Xiya's heart clenched, and she said with red eyes, "Wanwan, I won't talk about the past. You see, you not only have to manage such a large group now, but also handle the Bo family's affairs. Your aunt is worried that your health can't handle it, so she thought of having your younger brother share some of the burden. You are family, blood is thicker than water."

Sang Yuwan's heartstrings trembled, a chill ran down her spine, and she sneered, "Auntie, I'm an only child, where would I get a younger brother?"

Lan Xiya's pupils contracted, her heart sank with her words, and her breathing became heavier.

“You used to call Mingyi ‘brother’ all the time. The Ming family all said that you were closer than siblings.”

Sang Yuwan smiled but didn't say anything.

Seeing that she did not refute, Lan Xiya continued, "Wanwan, no matter what, Yiyi and you both have your grandfather's blood in your veins. You are the closest people in the world."

Sang Yuwan frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

Ignoring her mood, Lan Xiya continued, "Wanwan, I heard that the second master of the Bo family is back. You have to be careful of him."

Upon hearing this, Sang Yuwan smiled and asked, "Be careful of what?"

"Of course, we need to be careful that he doesn't seize power." Lan Xiya's expression tightened slightly, and her tone became much more serious. "If you weren't pregnant with Master Bo's child, would he have given everything to you?"

Minglang, who was still cleaning the carpet, stiffened.

He disliked what Lan Xiya had said earlier, but he somewhat agreed with this statement.

Who doesn't love power and wealth in this world?

Rong Zhi could have easily obtained it, but he discarded it like a worn-out shoe.

Sang Yuwan rubbed her forehead vigorously, her eyes revealing exhaustion and impatience, as if she had reached her limit.

"Sigh..." Lan Xiya sighed softly.

“Wanwan, your aunt is worried about you. No matter how capable you are, you are still just a woman. Your assistant is good, but unfortunately she is a girl. Minglang can protect you, but he knows nothing about work.”

Qingming was startled.

Why are we talking about him again?

Sang Yuwan saw that Lan Xiya was going around in circles, all because she wanted Mingyi to join the "Bo Group".

She curled her lip and said coldly, "Auntie, I've just taken full control of the group. Giving Mingyi such a high-profile favor would have a bad influence."

Seeing that her attitude had softened a bit, Lan Xiya hurriedly added, "You're the head of the group now, who would dare to say anything to you? Even if you just give HR a heads-up, go through the motions, and make a token gesture, that would be fine."

Sang Yuwan's mood was like a dark cloud hanging over her head. She had clearly reached her limit of restraint, but she still held back her anger. "Auntie, tell Mingyi. If he really wants to come to 'Bo's,' then follow the procedures step by step..."

"Wanwan, you've agreed?" Lan Xiya interrupted excitedly.

Sang Yuwan's gaze darkened. "Let me finish what I have to say."

“Okay, okay, go ahead.” Lan Xiya’s eyes lit up.

Sang Yuwan frowned, her expression distant. "If Mingyi can pass the assessment and enter the group, I'll first lay down three rules. First, he's not allowed to act in my name; second, he's not allowed to bully his colleagues because of our relationship; third, if any mistakes occur at work, I will treat everyone equally and will not show any leniency."

"Okay." Lan Xiya's heart finally settled. "Wanwan, in this life, you and Yiyi are my only two children..."

Sang Yuwan was in a hurry to send her away and didn't want to listen to her sentimental talk any longer, so she interrupted with a cold laugh, "Auntie, you have more than just the two of us children."

Lan Xiya's heart skipped a beat, and she froze.

She was Mingyu's second wife.

Mingyi also has two half-brothers.

Sang Yuwan tilted her head and looked at Minglang, "It's been so long, are you still not done?"

Minglang hurriedly replied, "Madam, it has been cleaned up."

"See Madam downstairs." Sang Yuwan said, standing up. A thin layer of frost covered her pretty face.

Seeing this, Lan Xiya stood up as well. "Wanwan, I won't disturb your rest any longer. These two boxes are tonics to replenish your qi and blood. Remember to drink them every day."

"Mmm." Sang Yuwan pursed her lips into a straight line, letting out a low sound.

Lan Xiya took two steps toward the door, then turned back. "By the way, Wanwan, the first three months of pregnancy are very important. You must be careful and make sure you don't harm the fetus."

"Okay." Sang Yuwan walked towards the restroom.

Lan Xiya withdrew her gaze and instructed Minglang, "From now on, you must be on your guard and not relax for a moment. In particular, you must be wary of the second master of the Bo family."

“Yes, Madam.” Minglang nodded.

Bang--

The sudden sound, as if bursting forth from a silent abyss, instantly shattered the surrounding tranquility.

At that moment, the air seemed to tremble, and all the senses were amplified infinitely.

Minglang turned around quickly, "Madam..."

Lan Xiya also stopped in her tracks, "Wanwan..."

Sang Yuwan grabbed the doorknob outside the bathroom, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart almost stopped beating.

The noise startled her.

Rong Zhi, that damned guy.
