With the admission letter in hand and Nian Siyan as her strong backer, Lan Shuang felt more confident when facing Lan Ping. Now that she was leaving the Lan family, it didn't matter if they had a falling out.
She looked at Lan Ping with a smile, "If I told you I evolved into an Emissary, what would you do? Would you let me go to school? Or would you just send me to some small planet and leave me to fend for myself?"
Lan Ping's face turned pale and he said nothing, but not speaking at this time meant tacit agreement. According to his previous behavior, Lan Shuang's fate would inevitably be like this.
But his eyes narrowed: "Even if I let you go to school, what will happen? Can you get into the First Federation College?"
He had read Lan Shuang's information. She had not received any systematic education before being taken back to the Lan family. She only received the most basic compulsory education and then dropped out of school.
He didn't think such a person could easily get into the Federal College, so from the beginning he had the idea of letting her give up her property voluntarily. After all, the contract had been signed, and he would spend a small amount of money to let her take the exam. If she failed, he would not suffer any loss, and he would not have to pay extra for her future living expenses. What a win-win situation!
He is a typical businessman. To him, profit is far more important than blood relationship.
What he could think of, Lan Shuang naturally thought of as well, so it was hard to say who was taking advantage of whom.
Lan Shuang opened her personal terminal, turned on the sharing mode, and sent her admission letter to Lan Ping, who was nearby. "Then I'm really lucky. Not only did I pass the exam, but I also got first place."
"How is it possible..."
Lan Ping didn't believe it, but when he looked down, he saw the very formal and beautiful admission letter with a blue background and gold edges on the terminal. It was indeed from the First Federal College. The first line of large characters on it was particularly eye-catching: Admission notice for Lan Shuang, the first place student in the Pharmacy Branch of the First Federal College.
Lan Ping: “???”
Is this his good-for-nothing daughter?
Could it be that someone with the same name and surname sent it by mistake?
"Do you think the people from the First Federal College would be stupid enough to get the candidates' information wrong?" Lan Shuang looked at Lan Ping with amusement.
Only then did Lan Ping realize that he had accidentally spoken out his true feelings, and the person involved had heard it.
The situation was a bit awkward. Andre looked at Lan Ping, speechless, and questioned, "Where did Miss Lan Shuang learn pharmacy? Did she cheat? If the First Federal College finds out, the rest of our family will be affected."
Lan Ping's expression suddenly changed, and he sternly questioned Lan Shuang: "How on earth did you get such a score? Tell the truth!"
Lan Shuang: “…”
She was a little speechless. What kind of thinking was going on with these people?
Lan Bing also stood up and came over to persuade him, "Father, what if my sister really did get in on her own merit? Then we'd be in the same school, and we could look after each other. It would be a great honor for you to have two graduates from the Federation College in your family."
These words touched Lan Ping's heart. His inflated vanity was satisfied, and his eyes softened a little when he looked at Lan Shuang.
"Since the acceptance letter has come, the result cannot be changed. Why not let my sister go? If she really cheated, her true colors would be exposed in class, and she would naturally not be able to graduate successfully. Why should Dad worry?"
Lan Shuang turned her head to look at Lan Bing, and Lan Bing smiled at her gently.
It seems like she is really a caring older sister who only cares about her younger sister.
However, in reality, she is just a wolf in sheep's clothing, hiding in a dark corner and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Don't worry, Master and Miss Lan. The academy naturally knows my grades. I came back today to let you know. School starts tomorrow, and I'll report on time. I've also applied for accommodation, and all future expenses will be covered by the academy."
Lan Shuang gave Lan Bing a meaningful smile and said, "I won't spend a penny of the Lan family's money in the future."
"Heh—you'd better keep your word. Everyone's listening. If you regret it later and want to ask me for money, don't blame me for not giving you face." Lan Ping twirled the cane in his hand, his mind spinning rapidly. He suddenly said, "Since you have evolved into an envoy and are over eighteen years old, according to regulations, you should take a soothing factor matching test.
"Okay." Lan Shuang agreed happily. "That's no problem. The admiral mentioned to me before that I needed to get tested, but my condition wasn't stable at the time, so I didn't do it."
"Wait—" Lan Ping keenly caught the key words, his eyes lit up, "Nian Siyan wants to do a soothing hormone compatibility test with you? How did you two meet, and what is your current relationship?"
"Nian Siyan?!"
"Admiral?"
"He actually knows Lan Shuang? How is that possible?"
The others were immediately excited when they heard Nian Siyan's name. For the older people, they were more afraid of Nian Siyan than in awe of him. But for the young people, it was different. He was the dream of almost every knight and messenger.
The knight wanted to shine on the battlefield like him, while the messenger wanted to marry him and become the one he held in his palm.
Originally, they all looked down on Lan Shuang's slum background, but how could they feel balanced when such a person actually knew Nian Siyan before them? How could they not be jealous of Lan Shuang?
The smile on Lan Bing's face faded a little, and she slowly clenched her hands. She didn't even feel the pain when her fingertips, which had beautiful cat's eye manicure, pricked her palms.
Lan Shuang pretended not to notice the prying eyes, smiled and casually straightened the collar of her coat, "We're just ordinary friends. We met in the hospital. My soothing medicine might be more helpful to him, so we always stay together."
Lan Ping's eyes were fixed on her coat as she moved, and it was only then that he realized that the coat was a bit too big and didn't look like a women's coat.
"The clothes you're wearing..." He paused, a light bulb went off in his head, "Are they Nian Siyan's?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "Well, it's a bit cold outside, so he gave me his coat."
It's freezing outside, and summer isn't even over yet.
This time, Lan Ping's eyes changed when he looked at Lan Shuang, as if saying, "I know all the nonsense you are talking about, stop pretending."
Lan Shuang didn't explain. She put her hand down and asked, "When are we going to get tested?"
"Well..." Lan Ping was about to speak when Lan Bing suddenly said, "Father, I haven't been tested yet. Can I go with my sister?"
Lan Ping glanced at her. Lan Bing had indeed not been tested yet. Because she was the eldest daughter of the Lan family, she was the most qualified to inherit the Lan family's property. At the beginning, Lan Ping had thought that if there really was no knight, she would find a husband for Lan Bing who could marry into the family, so that she could also inherit the Lan family.
So he tried his best to let Lan Bing study and did not rush to test her.
At this age now, it seems that it is indeed possible.
Lan Ping agreed without much thought.
"Then you guys set a time and let me know when it's ready. I'm tired and I'm going to rest first."
When Lan Shuang turned around, she smiled sweetly, and the fish was hooked.
