"How did you catch a cold?" the old patriarch asked with concern.

The old lady seemed to have guessed the reason and wanted to say something, but when she remembered that her grandchildren and grandson-in-law were there, she swallowed her words back.

"Dad, I'm fine."

Lan Rui reassured his father and looked at his daughter. He asked, "Is your mother not back yet? Call your mother and ask her to come back for breakfast."

"My mom said she would eat later. She also told me to make sure Dad finished his ginger soup and had a full meal before we could go back to the company."

Lan Rui was still disappointed that he couldn't see his wife, but after hearing what his daughter said, he immediately felt better.

Yimo is actually still worried about his health.

Then he looked at the bowl of ginger soup cooked by his daughter. There was a lot of ginger in it and the ginger flavor was very strong. He felt it was very spicy when he smelled it, but it was cooked by his daughter and his wife asked his daughter to watch him drink it.

He couldn't let his wife down.

Lan Rui picked up the big bowl of ginger soup and drank it all with relish.

After drinking, he put down the bowl and found that everyone was staring at him.

"Eat it."

He said lightly.

Lan Zheng kicked his sister lightly under the table. When Mu Qing looked at him, he secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Mu Qing's beautiful eyes sparkled and her eyebrows were smiling.

Her father wanted to catch a cold deliberately to make her mother feel distressed, but she cooked a big bowl of ginger soup for her father to drive away the cold. Her father's plan was likely to fail.

I hope her father will come to his senses and not blame her for letting the wind leak out of her little cotton-padded jacket.

The two elders of the Lan family looked at their son and then at their granddaughter. The old patriarch looked normal, but the old lady didn't look too good.

Ever since Ruyue and Zhiping had a relationship, Lan Rui and Shen Yimo seemed to be showing signs of reconciliation. Shen Yimo could make Lan Rui eat and drink well with just one word. The old lady felt that she had tried her best but still failed to pull her son's heart away from Shen Yimo.

"Ari, Ruyue and her daughter..."

The old lady was unhappy and suddenly brought up the matter of Hei Ruyue and her daughter coming to her house.

"Mom, you are old now, so just spend your retirement with my dad in peace."

Lan Rui said something lightly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a few napkins and wiped the corners of his mouth, then pulled out a chair, stood up, and walked out.

I don't want to listen to my mother nagging.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm full. I'm going back to the company."

Lan Zheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to leave.

At the dining table, there were only two elderly people and Mu Qing and his wife.

"Qingqing, go prepare the invitations with grandma later. Our family is going to hold a banquet for you."

Neither her son nor her grandson gave her face. The old lady was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She still spoke to Mu Qing in a calm and good-tempered manner as if nothing had happened.

"Grandma will also tell you which families in Wangcheng are worth associating with, and which families have close ties with our Lan family. Oh, and grandma will also call Mr. Ye to come and take your measurements and order a few evening gowns for you."

"Ms. Ye is the most famous dress designer in Wangcheng. Ladies and young ladies in upper-class society all like to wear the dresses she designs."

"Grandma, have you set a date for the party? Will it be too late to make an evening gown now?"

"Grandma talked to Ms. Ye and asked her to expedite your work and stop working on other people's evening gowns. She will make sure there are no delays."

Mu Qing is the eldest daughter of their Lan family. The other daughters give way to Mu Qing. Who dares to say anything?

Mu Qing felt that the old lady was attracting hatred for her by doing this.

Since the evening gowns designed by Ms. Ye are very popular, she must have a lot of orders on hand. Everyone wants to wear their favorite gown as soon as possible. Not only did she come from behind to surpass them, but she also stopped other people's orders and made an evening gown just for her. Doesn't that give people a feeling?

Is this Miss Lan arrogant and conceited?

"Grandma, this isn't nice. Others get their dresses custom-made for various banquets. How can I let them be delayed because of me? I didn't bring an evening gown with me when I came here. My mom should have some, right? I can use hers."

The old lady looked at Mu Qing, speechless.

After a long while, she said, "Since you put it that way, I won't ask Mr. Ye to rush and make one for you. Your mother's evening gown is from over 20 years ago, and the style is no longer new. Why don't you go to a dress store and buy a few sets first and use them as a makeshift."

"That's fine. I'll go shopping with my mom later and buy some evening gowns."

When Mu Qing said this, she looked at the old lady with a smile.

old lady:……

She put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked a servant to bring her exquisite wallet. Mu Qing noticed that her grandmother's wallet was inlaid with diamonds. The old lady's things were indeed all exquisite.

No wonder Lan Min was jealous when the old lady gave her two boxes of jewelry.

By the way, she hasn't opened the jewelry box yet, and wonders how many precious jewels are inside.

The old lady took out a black card and handed it to Mu Qing, saying lovingly, "If you want to go shopping, just buy more. Buy whatever you like. There's no need to save money. Grandma will give you the card. You can use it as you like."

The eldest granddaughter grew up in the Mu family, a very ordinary family. The old lady was worried that her granddaughter would be trained to be frugal and reluctant to spend money.

Although Mu Qing later married into the Jun family and was no longer short of money, as far as she knew, this eldest granddaughter still did not spend money lavishly, and her life was not much different from before.

"Grandma, I have money."

Mu Qing refused with her mouth, but her hands were honest as she reached out and took the black card.

When shopping, she must call her second and third aunts and show off the black card the old lady gave her!

Mu Qing felt very happy when she thought about the two aunts’ unhappy expressions.

After breakfast, the old lady did not immediately prepare the invitation letter with Mu Qing, but sat on the swing chair in the backyard, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hei Ruoyue and her daughter, who were still blocked at the gate of the manor, saw Lan Rui and his son coming out of the manor one after another, but the father and son's motorcade did not stop for her and her daughter.

Watching Lan Rui's special motorcade drive away, Hei Ruyue's eyes turned red. With tears in her eyes, she said to her mother aggrievedly, "Mom, is Lan Rui afraid of dirtying his eyes by even looking at me? He thinks I'm dirty."

"Before, the place beside him was definitely mine. No one would stop me at the gate of this manor, but now... I've waited and waited, cursed and cursed, but no one is willing to let me in."

Hei Ruyue said bitterly: "Mom, I won't accept this!"

As soon as Chen Yimo and her daughter came back, the situation in the Lan family changed. She had worked hard for several years, but it was defeated. She was unwilling to accept it, really unwilling to accept it!

The wife of the headmaster of the Lan family should be her!

Why doesn't Shen Yimo just die?

How could she wake up?

"Ruyue..."

Mrs. Hei cried out in pain, but she didn't know how to persuade her daughter.

After years of love, when happiness seems within reach, it is suddenly interrupted. No one would be willing to accept it!
