Lan Shuang looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman with delicate makeup and a dark green evening dress smiling at her with her fiery red lips, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Comparing it with the information in her mind, Lan Shuang knew who she was - Lan Ping's current wife, Qiu Yan.
The youngest daughter of the Qiu family, the victim of the marriage with the Lan family. She does not love Lan Ping, and Lan Ping does not love her either. The two of them play their own games outside, but they also have a child named Lan Bing, who is three years older than Lan Shuang's body and is now twenty-one.
These other kids...
Lan Shuang took a quick look and saw that there were five of them in total. They were all Lan Ping's illegitimate children outside. They were taken back before the division and dealt with appropriately after the division.
And she was no different from them.
Oh, no, actually there is a little bit. The worst of the others were also from business families, and Lan Shuang's mother was a flower girl in the slums. When she came to deliver flowers to the Lan family, she was noticed by the drunk Lan Ping. Then Lan Shuang was born, but Lan Ping disliked her humble background and never cared about her.
Thinking of this, Lan Shuang's delicate little face lost all trace of a smile. She looked at Lan Ping coldly and nodded at him without any respect: "Hello, Master Lan."
Such a perfunctory and arrogant attitude startled everyone present. Andre was the first to frown: "Ms. Lan Shuang, the head of the Lan family is not only the head of the family, but also your father. How can you be so cold?"
Lan Ping didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with Andre's reprimand, and looked at Lan Shuang with narrowed eyes.
Lan Shuang raised the corners of her lips slightly. "Since he is my father and the head of the Lan family, what right do you, a servant, have to tell the young lady of the Lan family what to do?"
Her words startled the others who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
What's wrong with this guy? How can someone from the slums be so bold? Is ignorance fearless?
Andre is one of the master's right-hand men!
Everyone looked at Lan Shuang with different expressions. They could already foresee her fate, and their eyes were filled with pity.
The hall was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Andre's face turned pale and he looked at Lan Ping, waiting for him to score a goal for him.
Seeing that Lan Ping didn't say anything, Lan Shuang also didn't say anything, and just stared at him.
Lan Ping suddenly leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?"
Lan Shuang stood between the tigers and wolves with her back straight. Although she was thin, she should not be underestimated.
"You've never been to the slums, so you don't know how harsh the living conditions are there. Compared to living in constant fear, where you could die at any moment, what do you have to fear?"
Lan Shuang asked back in a flat tone, and Lan Ping suddenly laughed out loud: "Interesting."
He leaned back and waved, "Come closer."
Lan Shuang walked forward fearlessly and stood in front of Lan Ping. Only then did Lan Ping notice that his daughter was quite tall, about 168 cm tall.
"How old are you?"
Lan Ping tried to recall it, but found that he had no memory of it at all, so he just asked directly.
Lan Shuang said, "Eighteen."
"Not differentiated yet?" Lan Ping frowned. At this age, differentiation should have been completed long ago. Is there something wrong with this child's body?
Lan Shuang lowered her eyes, "Yes."
Lan Ping seemed to be thinking about something. "Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"
Lan Shuang raised her head and smiled suddenly, her two shallow dimples were faintly visible, making her look extremely sweet, but her eyes were as dark as ink, making people feel cold on their backs.
She uttered two words crisply: "No money."
Lan Ping: “…”
He had forgotten about that.
Seeing that the two of them were chatting and had no intention of paying attention to him, Andre's dissatisfaction reached its peak, "Master..."
Lan Shuang glanced at him and said, "The host is talking, and you interrupt casually, Andre, where are your manners?"
Why does this sound so familiar?
Lan Shuang looked very much like Lan Ping when she was young. Lan Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity and waved to Andre: "There's nothing for you to do now, go down."
Andre: “…”
He was doomed to suffer this loss. He looked at Lan Shuang sinisterly, but in the end he did not dare to resist the head of the family's wishes, so he had to leave.
This time, everyone's eyes on Lan Shuang changed.
Lan Shuang pretended not to feel anything and looked at Lan Ping. Lan Ping thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I'll have someone take you to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup to see if there's anything wrong. You can stay here tonight. The room is ready for you. I'll have the robot take you there."
Then he shouted: "Luna——"
"Dad, let me take my sister there."
A pretty girl stood out from the crowd. Her red uniform made her face look rosy and healthy. Her long light brown hair was slightly curly, and her amber eyes made her look like a doll.
Lan Ping glanced at her and nodded: "Yeah."
Then he stood up and left on his own.
As soon as the head of the family left, the others immediately relaxed and did not hide their feelings at all when facing Lan Shuang.
Qiu Yan glanced at the girl and said angrily, "Bingbing, why are you caring about her? Your time is precious. You have a piano lesson with a master in an hour. Don't be late."
Lan Bing turned around and smiled sweetly at her: "I know, Mom. I won't be late."
Qiu Yan looked at Lan Shuang again, smiled sarcastically, and walked away stroking her hair.
"If you haven't differentiated at the age of eighteen, I think you're probably sick."
"Who knows? She doesn't look like she can differentiate into an alpha. I guess if she manages to differentiate, she'll probably be the lowest level omega."
Lan Shuang glanced at the person who was speaking. He was about the same age as her and was probably brought back from outside by Lan Ping.
Lan Bing stood in front of her and whispered, "Don't pay attention to what they say. They'll always make fun of anyone who comes."
After saying that, she smiled and stretched out her hand: "My name is Lan Bing, I'm three years older than you, and I'm your sister."
Lan Shuang looked at her pampered hand, shook it openly, and said with a smile: "So it's my sister~"
Her tone was a little strange. Lan Bing felt a little nervous, but she didn't show it. She withdrew her hand and turned around and said, "I'll take you to your room. Tell me if you need anything."
"Thank you." Lan Shuang followed her upstairs.
Their rooms are on the second floor. This entire row is Lan Ping's children's rooms, and the third floor is Lan Ping and Qiu Yan's bedroom.
After all, it is the Lan family. Even though the children are treated differently, their rooms are the same size and fully furnished.
Lan Shuang's room is the last one, next to the window at the end of the corridor.
Lan Bing pressed the groove on the door, his fingerprint lit up, and the door opened with a click.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes. Does Lan Bing have permission to access all the rooms?
"Yes, host, so you need to change your password as soon as possible~" 888 came online to remind.
Lan Shuang looked at him thoughtfully and asked softly, "Sister, is your fingerprint the only way to open the door? How will I get into the room in the future?"
Lan Bing maintained her image as a gentle and kind older sister very well. She shook her head and said, "Of course not. This is the initial setup. You'll enter your fingerprint later and lock the permissions. Then you won't need me to open the door for you."
