There was a small park on the Phoenix Road. Every morning, after the family teacher came to class,
Pana would play with Mili and Dot in the park.
Today, they walked along the green path and rode a round of bike. Then they sat on a chair and ate
fruit.
At this time, an old lady in expensive clothes came over and sat on a chair beside them. Both Mili and
Dot had the ability of remembering things or person at a mere sight, and recognized her at the first
sight. She the granny they had seen in the lake park.
Mili was surprised and said, "What a coincidence! Granny, do you still remember us?"
"Yeah, of course. Your name is Mili, and your brother's name is Dot," The old lady said with a smile.
"Grandma, you have such a good memory." Mili cracked her lips and smiled sweetly, revealing two
lovely dimples.
Dot stared at the old lady with sharp eyes and asked, "Grandma, why are you here? Did you move to a
place next to the Phoenix Road?" He asked tentatively, looking a little vigilant.
'This old woman is a little unusual. She even knows daddy's last name.'
Only mom, daddy Hanson, uncle, grandma, Grandpa knew the secret. Even aunt Pana did not know
this secret.
How did she know that? Was she always spied on their home? He had to be careful before he knew
that they were enemies or friends.
The old lady smiled kindly and answered, "My house is not far away."
"Really?" Dot raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "Didn't you often came here? Why have I never
seen you before?"
"I just came back from abroad. After breakfast, I came to the park to take a walk. What a coincidence to
see you two little cutie," the old lady said with a smiling face.
"Where did you come from?" Dot asked again.
"Switzerland. Have you ever been there?" the old lady said with a smile.
"No, I have not been there before." Dot shook his head.
"I know Switzerland. It has Alps and the ski resort, St. Moritz," Mili said, head tilted, her big eyes
glowing in the sun.
"Yes, Mili is smart." The old lady looked at her with a doting smile.
A judgment flashing in Dot's black eyes. The old lady looked amiable and didn't seem to be a bad
person, but how did she know about his dad? Who the hell was she?
"Grandma, last time you said that you knew our dad's last name was Rong. Let me tell you, you were
wrong. Our dad's last name is Xia, not Rong," he said deliberately.
"Really?" the old lady didn't show any change in her expression, but asked calmly, "Then what is your
daddy Hanson's surname?"
"Daddy Hanson is daddy. They are the same person," Dot said in a hurry, and his long and dense
eyelashes flickered slyly.
"Really?" The old woman raised her eyebrows and said, "That was not what you said last time."
"We lied to you last time. We are children and we can say whatever we want to say. Adults can't
believe children's words easily," Dot said in a serious tone, as if he was afraid that the old lady wouldn't
believe him.
Mili looked at him in confusion. She didn't understand why he lied to the old lady.
The old lady didn't mind. On the contrary, she thought he was clever enough to protect himself. "Well, I
was wrong. Your last name is Xia?"
"We share the same family name with Mommy, but not daddy Hanson." Mili shook her head.
"Why not?" the old lady asked with a smile.
"Because Daddy and Mommy used rock paper scissors when we were born. The baby's family name
should be the one who wins. And Mommy wins twice, so we use her family name." Mili repeated what
Dot had said last time. She thought it was a good explanation.
"Really?" The old lady smiled and said, "Your mommy and daddy Hanson are so funny."
"After they have a little baby boy or sister, they will take daddy Hanson's family name," Mili said
seriously.
The old lady's eyes darkened, as if she was hurt by what the girl said. "Your daddy Hanson is a lucky
person to marry a woman as good as your mommy."
"Yeah. They are going to hold an engagement ceremony soon. I can be a ring bearer with Dot." Mili
grinned broadly, revealing a row of white teeth. She thought of her dad, and they could no longer live
together.
Noticing her abnormality, the old lady reached out her hand to caress her head. "Why do you pout?
Mommy and daddy Hanson are getting married. Aren't you happy?"
"Yes, I am. But..." Mili lowered her head and blinked her big eyes. She asked in a low voice, "Grandma,
do you have a daughter-in-law?"
Confused, the old lady replied, "Yes. I have a daughter-in-law and granddaughter in law."
"Will you beat your daughter-in-law?" she whispered.
"No, I won't. We get along very well." The old lady looked at her with a scowl. "Didn't your grandma
treat your mother well?" she asked.
"My daddy Hanson's Mommy is very kind to my mommy. It is daddy's Mommy..." Before Mili could
finish her sentence, Dot went ahead and said, "It is sworn father. He's Mommy's good friend." Hearing
what Mili said, he corrected her promptly in case of letting the cat out of the bag.
When Mili came to her senses, she nodded and said, "Yes, it is sworn daddy's mother, Mommy's good
friend. His mommy is a bad and cruel person. She beat our mommy, scolded our mommy, and even
beat us. She even said we were bas..." Mili stopped, unable to finish her sentence.
A hint of anger flashed through the old lady's eyes. "The grandma has gone too far. How could she
treat her daughter-in-law like this?"
"Mommy can't be friends with daddy anymore because the bad grandma will bully mommy." Michelle
lowered her head dejectedly.
"Don't worry. Maybe someone will blame her for bullying Mommy again." The old lady petted her little
face and sighed in her heart.
"She's daddy's Mommy, and no one can scold her." Mili pouted.
"She's someone else's daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law. Your great grandma will scold
her," said the old lady.
"Great! Now I know the bad grandma also have a great grandma." Mili's beautiful eyes lit up as if she
saw a glimmer of hope. "If great grandma knows this, she will stand on mommy's side, right?"
The old lady nodded, "Great grandma loves mommy the most. She won't allow anyone to bully
mommy, not even daddy."
"Really?" Mili smiled happily. Her long and dense eyelashes flickered happily. With great grandma
backing her Mommy up, the evil grandma dared not bully Mommy again, and daddy and Mommy would
have a chance to be together again.
Dot stared at the old lady, thinking in confusion.
Who the hell was this old woman? Why did she even know that daddy had a great grandma?
Did she know my mommy and daddy?
He held Mili's hand and said, "Grandma, it is time to go. I'll play with you another day." If the old lady
really knew their parents, if Mili talked too much to her, she would expose their secrets. It would be
better for them to leave right now.
Pana and her bodyguards were standing not far away and looking at them all the time. She had
planned to go to the garden to stopped them when she saw Mili and Dot talking to the old lady. But she
didn't when she saw no one else around except for the old lady. Because Mili and Dot like to play by
themselves, and they don't want the adults to follow too closely.
Mili and Dot left together.
Looking at their backs, the old lady had a pitiful look on her face. Since things had come to this, she
couldn't just sit by and do nothing. She couldn't let the children do whatever they wanted.
In the CEO Office of Hengyuan Co., Ltd, Alice was complaining to Essie that she, the deputy CEO was
too idle to do something.
"Essie, how about giving me a project to handle?"
"Sister, you have only been in the company for a few days, and you are completely unfamiliar with the
business. When you are familiar with it, I will arrange a project for you, okay?" Essie said.
"Don't underestimate me. Although I have lost my memory, my ability hasn't weakened at all. I can
handle the company's affairs well." Alice frowned at Essie's arrangement.
Essie poured her a cup of tea and said, "Since you really want to work, why don't you take over the job
of recruiting interns?"
A tinge of anger flashed across Alice's face. "The personnel department can handle that kind of small
thing. Why should I, the vice president, do it myself? I want to handle big project. I heard that the group
was working on the development plan of the peninsula Bay. Why don't you leave it to me?"
Essie's dark eyes flashed. The peninsula Bay was in the second largest project that Hengyuan Co., Ltd
invested in, in addition to the energy project in the South Sea in the first half of this year. The project
invested by tens of billions was a very important one. How could she be relieved to give it to her?
"Sister, this project is very important. I will take charge of it personally. If you really want to take part in
the project, you and brother can be responsible for the marketing of the new buildings in City C."
Alice's face darkened. It seemed that her sister wanted to take full control of everything and wouldn't let
it go. In this case, then they will meet the shareholders and see how long she can work as the
president.
Not long after she left, Alena called her. She was in the tearoom downstairs and she wanted to ask her
out.
Essie walked out of the office in a hurry.
"Grandma, when did you come back?" When she entered the tea room and saw Alena sitting by the
window, Essie smiled again.
"Last week," Alena said. She then let out a sigh. "I didn't expect so many things would happen in less
than two months after I left."
Essie understood what the old lady meant. Her smile froze on her face. "Grandma, perhaps Zac and I
are not meant to be together. He is getting along well with Leila now."
"Zac has always been smart and capable. He never let me worry about him. I don't know why he would
make a mistake in this matter," Alena said with great anxiety. When she got the news that he divorced
and remarried, she and her husband had already called and forced him to give them a satisfactory
answer. But now, her granddaughter in law was going to marry someone else, how could he explain
this?
