Lan Lan was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to shake her head, Chen Mei suddenly pinched her waist.
Lan Lan understood and immediately started crying: "Mommy, it's okay, I'm fine here, great-grandpa and great-grandma, grandpa and grandma are all very good to me, I just miss mommy."
"Isn't Mommy here? Be good and don't cry." The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, looking miserable.
Li Wanqing's tense face relaxed a little, and her heart softened as she had originally wanted to drive Chen Mei out.
No matter what, Chen Mei is Lanlan's biological mother, and she also gave birth to a child for the Li family. There is no reason to completely deprive a mother of her love for her daughter!
She sighed heavily, feeling helpless, and looked outside.
Over there, Shen Ning was checking the garden hygiene and the placement of decorations with Butler Luo.
After all, starting from tomorrow, all those who come to the Li family's old house are the upper-class elites of the entire imperial capital, all of them are well-known and worldly-wise bigwigs. Although the Li family's old house has always been low-key and introverted, it has to have its own characteristics so as not to be embarrassing.
In this regard, Shen Ning is definitely qualified.
only
Now Shen Mei, the mortal enemy, is here again...
"Lanlan, go play with Coco and Dingding first. I have something to say to your mommy." Li Wanqing walked over and instructed Lanlan.
"Okay, grandma, I love you the most." Lanlan's little mouth was so sweet that it was dripping with honey.
Chen Mei let go of Lan Lan upon hearing this. She was a little afraid of Li Wanqing and secretly winked at Lan Lan.
Lan Lan suddenly threw herself into Li Wanqing's arms, tears welling in her beautiful eyes. "Grandma, please don't chase my mommy away, okay? I want to be with her, please."
Li Wanqing was stunned. Looking at the child's tender face and longing eyes, her heart ached.
She touched Lanlan's head and said softly, "Lanlan, go play. Don't worry, grandma won't do that."
"Okay, thank you grandma, I love you so much." Lanlan smiled happily, turned around and said to Chen Mei, "Mommy, I'm going to go upstairs to play first, and I'll come to accompany you later."
"Well, okay." Chen Mei was very satisfied with Lan Lan's performance and nodded with a smile.
Lanlan skipped away.
"Hello, Auntie." As soon as Lan Lan left, Chen Mei immediately greeted Li Wanqing.
"Come and sit down." Li Wanqing said lightly and walked towards the sofa.
Shen Mei hurriedly followed.
"Auntie, please have some water!" As soon as she went over, she rushed to pick up the teacup in front of Li Wanqing, filled it with water for her, and handed it to her respectfully with both hands.
Li Wanqing sighed as she watched.
Chen Mei's superficial work is indeed much better than Chen Ning's, and she is also very good at flattering and acting cute. Fortunately, she is not the kind of person who only looks at the appearance, and she does not like Chen Mei's personality in her heart.
but
Now, Lanlan misses her mommy, so she can’t go too far, right?
She took the water cup, took a sip, and then said calmly, "Chen Mei, the day after tomorrow is the old man's 88th birthday. Since you have received an invitation and Lan Lan is here, I don't object if you want to accompany Lan Lan, but I have asked Chen Ning to preside over this birthday banquet. She is now the head of this family. Therefore, if you want to stay here, you must obey her instructions and cannot do anything that violates the rules. Otherwise, I will kick you out at any time."
She spoke sternly at the end.
It will only take three days at most. Guests will start arriving tomorrow, and she will want to come too. As long as she behaves herself, they won't mind her staying one more night. Besides, Lanlan also needs her mother to accompany her.
