He ran and hugged Zan Guiying. "Are you alright my child?" He asked.
"Yes gwandpa!! I am awight. Bwig bwothew Jun saved me!!" She said happily.
"Come inside! Grandpa Zan said. They reached inside. "You to should go upstairs and change. We have to eat lunch." Grandpa Zan told to Zan Guiying and Bo Ehuang.
Bo Ehuang understood what he meant and took their daughter's hand and climbed staires.
Grandpa Zan and Zan Tengfei reached in his office. "He called me and told what happened."
"Yes father!"
"So what you intend to do?! Are you going to sent her there again?"
"Father, yingying likes them. I also believe that kids."
"Mm... He told me that it won't happen again and asked you three go there. Are you going?"
"Yes father. I will. I know they will be careful more."
"Mm... You may go!"
Zan Tengfei greeted his father and walked away from his father's room.

In De mansion, it was a chaotic situation. Everyone is on edge and walking in egg shells. Grandpa De was so angry and was scolding the security staff in the house.
"It was first time in my life, an incident like this was happening!!!"
"Please accept our apology Patriarch!! It was our mistake. We promise you that this won't happen again!!! The security head apologized.
"Hmm... Make sure of it!" Grandpa De found back his posture.
"Now go out and inform my son and grandson to come here along with Xi Fang."
The security nodded.
After sometime the three of them knocked in his door.
"Come inside!!"
They all reached inside.
"Sit in the sofa now!" He instructed.
"What is it father?" De Yating asked.
"How is De Genji, is she alright?" He asked to Xi Fang.
"Actually... Father... She is not doing well. She was was so much unhappy. She felt betrayed. Not only her, but De Haoyu also." Xi Fang informed.
"Mm... I also feel sad for them. But it will be also important that they should understand to distinguish between a friend and foe. And it's a saying that experience from the life is the best lesson. So it should help them."
They all nodded.
"Also Xi Fang!!!" She looked at her father in law.
"Don't make them suffer too much. Create some recreation activities for them."
"As you wish father."
"Also... De Yating?!?" He called his son.
"When are they going?"
"They would be going tomorrow. I have arranged them a job in America."
"Mm... Good. Also sign a buisness partnership with Zan's. It should be profitable for both of us."
"Yes father!"
"Now what about the security?"
" I have arranged some technicians tomorrow. We are placing cameras also in the forest area."
"Good."
Grandpa De turned to his grandson.
"What you did today was remarkable, grandson!" He patted De Longjun's head.
"Because of your thinking, Zan Guiying was safe. You proved to be a De!"
"Thank you grandpa."
"From now onwards you may sit with the board members and understand more about our business. Also... You may participate in all important meetings."
"Thank you grandpa." De Yating smiled.
Grandpa De continued. "Let me tell you something more to all of you!"
Everyone looked at him.
"From tomorrow onwards, you should treat Zan Guiying as a family member. She and her family would be welcomed in all calendar celebrations regardless of an invitation. Also, Xi Fang make time and form a good relationship with her family. Also set a date for shopping with the kids including Zan Guiying!! Okay?!"
"Okay! Father!!" They all agreed.
"Then you may leave."
They all nodded and left the room.
Grandpa De looked at all their retreating figures and closed his eyes.

Next day.
The Zan's arrived in De mansion as they promised.
As always grandpa De was waiting for the.
"Gwandpa De!!" Zan Guiying ran and hugged him.
"You look cute as always!!" Grandpa De asked.
"Thankwoo!!" She giggled.
"Now!! Go and play with them." Grandpa De slowly pushed Zan Guiying inside.
She ran upstairs.
"Please come inside." Grandpa De called her parents.
They sat on the sofa. The servants bought refreshments.
"Yingying is upstairs. Go and give her some desserts and milk!" Grandpa De instructed the servant. She nodded and left.
They all drank their tea. "Shall we move inside the office? We have something to propose." De Yating suggested.
They all moved to the office and sat down.
"Is she alright?" Grandpa asked.
"Thank you for asking, patriarch. She is alright. I think she have already forgoten about it."
"Mm.. but even so please look after her for sometime. If any medical emergencies you can call our family doctor." Grandpa De said thoughtfully.
Zan Tengfei nodded.
Grandpa De looked at his son.
De Yating understood and walked towards his file cabinet and took a file. He gave it to Zan Tengfei."Please open it."
Zan Tengfei opened the file. It was a buisness proposal for the recent construction bid.
"Why are you proposing this?" Zan Tengfei asked.
"We know it won't be enough as an apology. But please accept it." Grandpa De suggested.
"No!! Patriarch!! We are not angry at you. You don't have to give us a big project like this!! " Zan Tengfei exclaimed.
"No! No! No! Mr. Zan. It's not only a compensation and apology. We found that Zan's buisness management is remarkable. It is also a good deal for us. So accept it."
Bo Ehuang, who was sitting silently, looked at her husband.
Zan Tengfei sighed. He took the file and smiled. "Thankyou Mr. De! We would accept it."
Then they all shook ther hands.
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Suddenly Butler Huo knocked the door.
"What is it?" Grandpa De asked.
"Patriarch De, Gang Lihua and her family are here!!"
"What!!"
"Why are they here?"
Grandpa De thought for sometime. "Let them inside."
They walked out of their office. In the hall, Gang Lihua and her family are standing.
"What do you want?" Grandpa De asked.
"Grandpa De...."
