After a pause, Jin Nuo felt a little relieved when he saw that Lan Ziye did not show any disgust or aversion when he saw his ugly daughter. He thought to himself: Maybe it is really as Jin Ruorui said, this Lan Ziye is different from other girls from aristocratic families.

Jin Nuo cleared his throat and continued, "Xiao Zhen fell ill when she was little. She took too many hormones to treat it, and that's how she looked! Because she's not as pretty as her sisters, she has a bit of an inferiority complex. She usually stays out and hasn't played with children of her own age! She's sixteen this year, the same age as you. I thought tonight's dinner party wouldn't be a formal one, and since there would be more young people here, I brought her out to see the world!"

"Well, she should see the world!" Lan Ziye nodded in agreement. "Is she also at Lanxuan College? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Speaking of this, Jin Nuo said with some embarrassment, "When I was little, I went to Lanxuan Academy for a few years. I was always discriminated against and bullied. At that time, in the Jin family, besides the head of the family, the eldest brother had the final say. As the second son, I couldn't help her much, so my wife and I decided to transfer her to another school!"

Lan Ziye thought about how she was bullied by Jin Ruoxi, Chu Yu and others when she first entered Lanxuan Academy. If she was not Lan Ziye and did not have strong abilities, she probably would not be able to survive in Lanxuan Academy!

Thinking of this, Lan Ziye agreed: "Well, yes, the school spirit of Lanxuan College is not very good!" After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Chu Xixuan, and sure enough, he saw that Chu Xixuan's face had visibly darkened.

"However, the atmosphere is still good now. If Xiaozhen wants to go to Lanxuan College, she can come to our Senior 3 (3) class. I will protect her and no one will dare to bully her!" Lan Ziye said casually.

It looks like the eldest brother of the Jin family will never be able to get up again, and the one who will be in charge in the future may be the second master of the Jin family. Since the Lan family is willing to resolve the past grievances with the Jin family and ease the relationship, she might as well add fuel to the fire!

"Really?" Jin Nuo was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Jin Ruozhen in front of Lan Ziye and said, "Why don't you thank me, Miss Lan!"

Jin Ruozhen was slightly surprised when she heard Lan Ziye's words. She raised her head and quickly looked at Lan Ziye, then lowered her head again and said weakly, "Thank you...thank you..."

Lan Ziye smiled.

Since this was not a formal family banquet, Lan Yan did not attend. The second generation of the Lan family went to sit at the table with Lan Jia and his wife, Lan Yi and his wife, Lan Bing and his wife, Jin Nuo and his wife, and Jin Cheng and his wife. The younger generation, Lan Yanfeng, Lan Yanyu, Lan Yandian, Lan Yanlei, Lan Xiaoqi, Lan Ziye, Chu Xixuan, Jin Ruorui, and Jin Ruozhen, sat at the next private room.

The elders at the table all came with their wives, and with their wives managing the situation, they were having a good time. But the younger generations at the table were in an awkward position. Because of Chu Xixuan's presence, everyone at the table sat upright, not daring to pick up their chopsticks or speak casually. The atmosphere was extremely awkward and depressing.

Lan Yanfeng thought for a moment and said, "There are no elders here, so let's just be casual!" After that, he took the lead, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

His actions did not liven up the atmosphere, but made it even more awkward. Everyone continued to sit upright, even more nervous than usual when their elders were around, and their mood did not ease at all because of Lan Yanfeng's actions.

This caused Lan Yan to feel uncomfortable eating Fengcai.

Lan Ziye glanced at Chu Xixuan. As expected, this guy cannot be brought out. Bringing him out is just to make the atmosphere cold. Even the warm-hearted Lan Yanfeng can't warm up the atmosphere!
