“Hasn’t anyone ever informed you that feces can be sent for testing?” Fang Yuan gazed at Auntie Wang and continued, “Hemp seeds and croton cream, you even thought of that.”

“Miss Fang Yuan, i was not thinking clearly…” Auntie Wang hadn’t expected Fang Yuan to be so well-informed. She was thoroughly alarmed and hastily implored, “Please, grant me another chance…”

Fang Yuan appraised her and responded composedly, “If it weren’t for your 18 years of dedicated service to this family, 1 would have exposed you last night.”

Without waiting for Auntie Wang to reply, Fang Yuan added, “Regardless of whether it was muddled thinking or premeditation, and regardless of whether you plan to continue such tactics, here are four words for you: Think before you act.” With that, Fang Yuan turned and exited.

Auntie Wang watched her retreating figure and found herself strangely unnerved.

Not far off, Cheng Yuqi only approached when she saw Fang Yuan depart. “Auntie Wang, what did she say to you?”

“It’s nothing…” Auntie Wang recollected Fang Yuan’s caution and suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach. She clutched her abdomen and stated, “Miss Yuqi, please excuse me for a moment; I need to use the restroom.”

“Helio, Auntie Wang…” Cheng Yuqi observed her hastening away and grew even more resentful of Fang Yuan!

Shortly after Fang Yuan arrived at the company, there was a knock at her office door.

“Come in!”

“President Fang.” It was Gu Panpan. She held a bag and greeted with a smile, “These are buns my mother made this morning. She wanted me to bring them for you…”

Buns?

“You’ve been such a great help to us, we felt a bit guilty,” Gu Panpan handed the bag to Fang Yuan and continued with a smile, “We know you don’t prefer spicy food and enjoy meat, so I asked my mother to add extra meat for you.”

“Please convey my gratitude to Auntie.” Although Fang Yuan had already had breakfast, she accepted the bag, which contained a Tupperware container and a thermos flask.

Fang Yuan was slightly intrigued. “What’s in the thermos?”

“It’s freshly ground soy milk!” Gu Panpan beamed. “My mother prepared it this morning. 1 don’t want to boast, but it’s really delicious!”

Fang Yuan tried a bun and nodded. “It’s indeed delicious.”

Gu Panpan assisted in opening the thermos. “Take your time with the food. 1 won’t disturb you further.”

Shortly after Gu Panpan departed, Wang Ning entered.

“President Fang…” He patted his stomach. The scent of the meat buns was tantalizing. He had overslept this morning and hadn’t eaten…

“Would you like one?” Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow and inquired.

“Okay!” Wang Ning looked at Fang Yuan expectantly, hoping she would share some with him.

“Help yourself,” Fang Yuan generously offered.

Wang Ning happily took two meat buns and took a hearty bite. They were truly delicious!

Just then, Fang Yuan’s phone began to vibrate. She checked and saw a call from the Piano Association.

“President Fang, 1 won’t keep you any longer…” Wang Ning realized that she had other matters to attend to and left with the buns.

Fang Yuan answered the call. “What’s up?”

“Senior! There’s an awards ceremony for the piano competition at the Qingyou Theater in two days. Could you honor us as a guest? We’d be delighted if you could attend and motivate the younger participants. It’s been three years since someone of your caliber visited our competition.” The person on the phone spoke obsequiously.

It was highly unlikely that Elder Qian would attend a small competition to present an award. Despite numerous invitations from the international competition’s organizers, Elder Qian had consistently declined, and the likelihood of someone of Fang Yuan’s stature participating was extremely low.

Nonetheless, Elder Qian clung to a glimmer of hope. “Senior, please don’t dismiss it outright. Consider this: if the young contestants learn that you might attend, it could serve as a powerful motivator for them. Your presence could be seen as guidance, and it would mean the world to them!”

The piano competition? Fang Yuan recollected that Cheng Yuqi had placed first, while Fang Jiayi had come in second. It might not be suitable for her to make an appearance.

“We’ll think about it.”

Witnessing Fang Yuan’s lack of a direct refusal, the other party was elated, sensing a glimmer of possibility. “Alright, 1’11 await your positive response…”

Noon arrived, and Fang Yuan chose not to join Bo Yi for lunch. Instead, she headed straight to the hospital after her workday.

“Fang Xiaoyuan, you’ve finally arrived!” Chen Yang was enjoying a packed lunch in his office. As soon as he spotted her, he inquired about her meal. Upon learning that she hadn’t eaten yet, Chen Yang set aside his chopsticks and went to the cafeteria to get her a meal.

Fang Yuan had initially intended to decline the offer, as she planned to visit Granny Fang and then return to the company’s cafeteria to check out the latest dishes.

However, Chen Yang was concerned that she might go hungry, so he dashed downstairs to prepare a meal for her.

Upon reaching the ward, Fang Yuan immediately noticed the bracelet in Granny Fang’s hand. She had purchased it with her first salary for the elderly lady. Every time Granny Fang regained consciousness, she would search for the bracelet. Once located, she would clasp it tightly in her hand..
