"Mr. Lan, as the grandson of the Prime Minister, it's not appropriate for you to block my way in broad daylight, right?" Cui Cancan said expressionlessly.
"You know me? Haha! Since you know that my grandfather is the prime minister of this dynasty, why do you still speak to me in this tone? Aren't you afraid of offending me?" Lan Jie said in a gangster tone.
"Mr. Lan, you may have forgotten that the one with high status is your grandfather, Prime Minister Lan. May I ask what position you hold in the court? Is it because of the influence left by your ancestors that you are so arrogant and domineering?" Cui Cancan said mercilessly.
It was the first time that Lan Jie was ridiculed so mercilessly by a woman on the street. His face looked as ugly as if a color palette had been overturned. It was very exciting.
"What an eloquent little girl, but the more you are like this, the more interested I am in you. I like wild people like you." Lan Jie said with a wry smile.
Chuntao stood in front of Cui Cancan. Although she was a little afraid, she still resolutely put Cui Cancan behind her.
"Master Lan, although our General's Mansion is not as prestigious as the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can't just tease our young lady!" Chun Tao said courageously.
"General's Mansion? Are you from the General's Mansion?" Lan Jie asked with some doubt.
Chuntao nodded.
"Haha... I'm dying of laughter! The general's mansion I know is Cui Yanshan. He seems to have only one daughter named Cui Fatty." Lan Jie seemed to remember something and laughed loudly.
"You...my lady is not what you said!" Chun Tao retorted with her face flushed with anger.
"What does a servant like you have to do with what I say? Your young lady is pretending to be a lady from the general's mansion, which will put her in jail. Why doesn't someone else pretend to be a lady, but has to pretend to be a fat pig?" Lan Jie shook his head.
"Miss, the general saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, so he sent me to look for you."
At this time, a voice came and walked to Cui Cancan and said.
"Okay, Uncle Dong, I'll go back now." Cui Cancan turned her head and smiled.
Wei Dong's expression was gentle. Although Cui Cancan was not his child, he had watched her grow up since she was a child.
"Uncle Dong will help you with it!" Wei Dong said as he took the things they bought.
"Wei Dong?" Lan Jie asked in surprise.
"Oh! It's Mr. Lan. I'm so sorry. I won't disturb Mr. Lan from shopping. I'll take my lady back first." After Wei Dong finished speaking, he prepared to take Cui Cancan away.
"Wait a minute!" Lan Jie took a step forward and blocked the way in front of the group.
"Mr. Lan, is there anything else?" Wei Dong stood in front of Cui Cancan calmly.
Lan Jie showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "General Cui is really a romantic! He even has such a beautiful daughter, who is much more pleasing to the eye than that fat pig." After Lan Jie finished speaking, his eyes looked at Cui Cancan with interest again.
Cui Cancan frowned as he watched, feeling extremely disgusted.
"Mr. Lan, please be careful with your words. The general has only one daughter, Cancan, and she is right in front of you. If Mr. Lan says such insulting words to the eldest lady again next time, I will not be polite." Wei Dong said with a grim expression.
Lan Jie narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and looked at Cui Cancan again and said, "You said she is Cui Cancan, and that fat girl from before...are they the same person?"
Wei Dong snorted softly and said, "That's right, the young lady has simply become prettier and slimmer. Young Master Lan should be more cautious in his words and actions. The general has always remained a virgin for his wife, so there's no such thing as a bullshit illegitimate daughter."
Lan Jie was truly stunned. He had never imagined that the woman he had fallen for at first sight was actually the same person as the Fatty Cui whom he had insulted so much before!
Taking advantage of Lan Jie's daze, Wei Dong took Cui Cancan away. If someone else said these words, Wei Dong would have punched that person to the ground. However, Lan Jie's identity was indeed not simple, and he could not cause trouble for the general because of his momentary impulse.
In fact, Cui Cancan was nervous, and no one noticed that her palms were soaked with sweat.
She remembered what Qibao had said to her before she left. After she came back, she must never let herself be bullied again. If anyone dared to bully her, she would fight back without mercy. What she had to do now was to slowly adapt to her current self.
It took Lan Jie a long time to come back to his senses. He suddenly started laughing and kept muttering, "Interesting. I didn't expect that the fat girl would be so beautiful after losing weight. Hahaha, I still want to continue bullying you!" As he said this, the interest on his face became more and more intense.
"Miss, you were so awesome just now. If it were the old you, you definitely wouldn't be able to say these words." Chunwa said excitedly.
"I heard it too. It's great. A tiger father will have a dog daughter. This is what a general's daughter should be like!" Wei Dong laughed.
Cui Cancan smiled with a blush.
…
The next day, Cui Yanshan got up early because today was a very important day and he had to go to the Su family to break off the engagement.
"Cancan, are you ready?" Cui Yanshan looked at his daughter, whose face was as pale as water, and asked one last question. He was afraid that his daughter would regret it halfway. After all, he knew how much his daughter liked the boy from the Su family.
"Father, I'm sure!" Cui Cancan said.
"Okay, then let's go together as father and daughter!" Cui Yanshan touched Cui Cancan's head and said.
Wei Dong had already prepared the carriage, and the father and daughter walked out of the general's mansion and got into the carriage directly.
When they arrived at the Su family's door, Cui Yanshan got off the carriage, helped his daughter down, straightened his clothes, and walked forward to knock on the door.
The one who opened the door was the Su family's doorman. He bowed to Cui Yanshan and said, "General Cui, please come in. My Grand Tutor is waiting inside."
Cui Yanshan nodded. When his daughter said she wanted to cancel the engagement, he had sent out the visiting invitation in advance, but he did not explain the reason for the visit, so the Su family did not know the real purpose of Cui Yanshan's visit.
"Yanshan, are you here?"
Before Cui Yanshan could say hello, Mr. Su took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, old man. I'm sorry to bother you today." Cui Yanshan said politely.
"Why should we be so polite? Please take a seat. Someone, bring the tea!" said the old man.
"Hello, Grandpa Su. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if you are in good health?" Cui Cancan bowed to Grandpa Su.
"Who are you?" Old Master Su had indeed seen Cui Yanshan with a girl just now, but he was curious in his heart, but he didn't ask. Now this woman took the initiative to greet him, and her voice seemed somewhat familiar, which made him unable to remember for a moment.
"Grandpa Su, don't you recognize me? I'm Cancan!" Cui Cancan said with a smile.
"You...you are Cancan?" Old Master Su couldn't believe his eyes. This pretty, lotus-like woman in front of him was actually the Cui Cancan from the past? This was a bit dramatic for him...
