When Lan Xi came out, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning. She did not go to visit the old man, but left the ancestral hall directly.
Lan Xi got into the car wearing her coat. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong. She sat sideways in the seat, leaning against the back facing the window.
Until a bloody smell filled the car and became stronger and stronger, Uncle Dong couldn't help but look at Lan Xi frequently. He was trained by the Lan family and naturally knew what had happened.
"Miss! Your wound..." Uncle Dong looked at Lan Xi, whose expression was calm, and stopped talking halfway through.
"That's not your concern, just drive!"
When they reached the top floor, the family doctor was already waiting. Lan Xi walked into the room and lay down on the bed. The little assistant listened to the doctor's instructions, picked up the cotton swab and started to disinfect.
Bai Yun didn't know what happened, but Lan Xi looked very bad.
After a while, the family doctor came out and handed Bai Yun the precautions she had sorted out:
"The wound must not be exposed to water. She will come to change the dressing every morning. Keep a light diet for the next two days! Eat less irritating foods! I might have a fever tonight, so you have to keep a close eye on me!"
Bai Yun took it in a hurry, her mind still confused. Just when she was about to look up to see what was happening, the door was closed by the assistant who came out from behind.
She had no choice but to agree casually and send the other party away.
Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw Lan Xi lying on the bed, seemingly asleep, with an unnatural blush on her face and her hand tightly clutching a corner of the pillow.
The smell of blood still lingered in the air. She walked cautiously to Lan Xi's side. There was no quilt covering her back, and blood seeped through the gauze and dotted onto her pajamas.
She tilted her head and saw the dark grey shirt she had worn in the morning thrown on the sofa. She reached out and picked it up and saw the shocking whip marks on it. The clothes that were intact when she went out had become tangled, and the entire back was already dark red.
"Throw them all away! Ask Zhu Lingling to deal with them before throwing them away!" Lan Xi's voice sounded from behind, weak but calm.
Bai Yun pinched her shirt, not knowing what she was thinking. She slowly turned around and met Lan Xi's gaze. Her calmness made her heart ache.
"I want to drink carrot soup!" As if knowing that Bai Yun was worried about her, Lan Xi asked for what she wanted to eat for the first time.
Bai Yun rolled up her clothes and lowered her eyes: "Oh! Got it! You take a rest!"
Her steps as she left the room were a little messy, and the sound of the door closing was a little heavy. Lan Xi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Li Yulan came, Bai Yun was in the kitchen pouring the cooked soup into a ceramic pot and simmering it.
"How is she?" Li Yulan had already finished lunch when she heard the news. She ran over in a hurry but did not dare to enter her bedroom.
Bai Yun was busy with something in her hands and said calmly, "You'll know when you go in and see for yourself!"
"Me!" Li Yulan thought to herself, if she could go in, why would she ask her? The main reason was that she was afraid that if she went in, Lan Xi would have to move tomorrow!
Bai Yun knew that she didn't dare to go in. She did it on purpose, deliberately confronting her. Lan Xi was hurt like this, and she only realized it now. Whose mother is like this!
One of them was at the kitchen door, and the other was in the kitchen. Li Yulan watched Bai Yun busying herself skillfully. She knew exactly where everything was, and her sense of crisis reached its peak.
"How did you get in? Didn't Lan Xi tell the property management not to let you in?" Bai Yun suddenly remembered this while cooking, stopped what she was doing, and asked with a frown.
Lan Xi knew she was going to be angry again!
Li Yulan coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, and said in a feigned tone, "She's my daughter, I can come whenever I want!"
"Yes, yes, you can explain this to Lan Xi later!" Bai Yun rolled her eyes and lowered her head to busy herself.
Li Yulan kept staring at Bai Yun as she cooked: "I'm sorry!"
Bai Yun turned around, her expression as if she had seen a ghost. After a moment, she asked, "Did the sun rise from the west?"
Bai Yun is not like the women around Lan Ting'an. She was really deceived. In the first few years after Li Yulan gave birth to Lan Xi, she was worried every day. The nanny was worried about her and always wanted to follow Lan Xi everywhere. Naturally, she had no time to take care of Lan Ting'an.
After Bai Yun joined the company, her outstanding business ability was noticed by Lan Ting'an. Such a proud person would definitely not disdain to be someone else's mistress.
Lan Ting'an transformed himself into an unmarried poor young man and began his accidental acquaintance with Bai Yun.
What’s strange is that the two of them have been together for the past two years without being noticed. I don’t know if Li Yulan was not paying attention or if she did a good job of keeping it secret.
Bai Yun is a workaholic. Even after they started dating, they only saw each other for a few days. Every day, there was either a case or a new case, so naturally, she didn't care about Lan Ting'an's movements.
It was not until Bai Yun saw Lan Ting'an being slapped by Li Yulan at the door of the Lan family's house, and the mistress standing beside him with tears in her eyes, that she realized how big a trap she had fallen into.
Under pressure, Bai Yun broke up with Lan Ting'an on the grounds that she disliked his poverty, resigned from the company and hid in the downtown area.
At that time, Lan Qi's identity had not been exposed yet. Li Yulan had seen that wealthy families had their own ways, so after pestering him for a while, she ignored him.
Instead, the old man captured Lan Ting'an and gave him a good lecture, restricting all the money and connections he could use.
For a full six months, Lan Ting'an was restricted from traveling, spending, and contacting certain people, which gave Bai Yun an opportunity to hide.
After the company incident, Li Yulan freed up her time and conducted a thorough investigation, and found Bai Yun.
