Seeing her daughter like this, Li Yulan felt a surge of anger rising in her heart. "But I have to say, you did the right thing by pulling the old man out! You've made progress!"
The chair stopped, Lan Xi stood up, and crossed her arms over her chest: "If you have nothing else, I'll leave first!"
"Come back!" Ms. Lan took a deep breath and called Lan Xi who had already turned around and walked out.
Lan Xi turned around, her face already filled with impatience: "What's wrong again!"
"Stay at home for two days?" Li Yulan asked in a questioning tone, and her hands on the desk unconsciously clenched into fists.
Lan Xi sneered, looked around the study, and finally his eyes fell on his mother's face:
"You know, this place... I will never like it in my life!"
She didn't wait for Li Yulan to speak and walked away.
Zhu Lingling was guarding the door. When she saw Lan Xi coming out and feeling cold all over, she took out her cell phone and turned on the heater in the car in advance.
"Miss, shall we go back?" She trotted after Lan Xi and asked her deliberately.
"Tsk!" Lan Xi stopped and said, "Zhu Lingling, are you looking for trouble? If you don't want to go back, just stay here!"
Lifting her foot and continuing to walk downstairs, Lan Xi felt bad as soon as she got home.
"Where are you going to have fun again?" Lan Ting'an's voice suddenly sounded, and his tone sounded a little sarcastic.
Lan Xi stopped and looked over. Her good father was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea.
The corners of her mouth curled up, she pinched the egg and gently rolled her face, then walked in front of Lan Ting'an: "Do you have an illegitimate daughter in St. Ann's Middle School?"
Lan Ting'an didn't swallow a mouthful of tea, and he choked and coughed. He pointed at Lan Xi and couldn't say a word!
"I heard she has good grades and is very well-behaved. You seem to have been visiting her quite often recently. What do you think..."
Lan Xi fiddled with the fresh flower arrangements on the coffee table. With a push of her well-manicured nails, she pinched off one of the flower heads and held it up to admire.
The flowers bloomed beautifully, pink and tender, with crystal water droplets hanging on them.
With a wave of his hand, the flower fell into Lan's father's arms. He hurriedly picked up the flower and heard Lan Xi's smiling voice: "What a pity!"
Lan Ting'an understood what Lan Xi meant. He said angrily, "Lan Xi, how dare you!"
Lan Xi was amused. She looked up and down at Lan Ting'an:
"Dad! Do you know how many illegitimate children you have? I'm afraid you don't know? But... I know, I know every one of them!"
Zhu Lingling took a wet wipe from her bag and handed it to Lan Xi. Lan Xi took it and carefully wiped her hand that had just touched the flower.
"So, don't irritate me. You don't want this to happen, right?"
Lan Ting'an seemed to be frightened by Lan Xi. He didn't say a word and stared at the flowers in his hand in a daze.
What Lan Xi despised the most was the way he was being manipulated. He was completely confused and didn't know what to do!
After leaving the Lan family's old house, Zhu Lingling was driving and Lan Xi was lying in the passenger seat. The egg rolled up and down, but it actually had no effect.
"Miss, I'll go back and get you some medicine to reduce the swelling. This is useless!" Zhu Lingling said worriedly as she looked at Lan Xi's actions.
Lan Xi rubbed her face with the egg, not caring at all about Zhu Lingling's words:
"Your young lady's face is so important, and you don't have any medicine to reduce the swelling, so you're just going to try and save her!"
…
"Chi Yan! Are you too tired? You are in the important stage of the postgraduate entrance examination. How can your body bear it if you continue like this?" Mother Cheng looked at her son and was a little worried about his health.
Cheng Chiyan reached out and hugged his mother: "It's okay, I have a good income now, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Seeing his father's sad face, Cheng Chiyan asked again: "What did the hospital say?"
"Your grandma's condition is very poor. Even with surgery, her chances of recovery are not very high. Given her current condition, please stay with her more!"
Cheng's father's words were undoubtedly an ultimatum to his mother.
Cheng Chiyan felt desperate. He already knew the subsequent outcome before the money was even in place.
"Follow me! I'll help you!"
Lan Xi's words echoed in his ears, and Cheng Chiyan's heart began to waver. If he could settle his grandmother's surgery fee earlier, wouldn't some things become simpler?
At this moment he began to regret that he did not accept Lan Xi's proposal. Did it mean that he was wrong?
Under the light, Lan Xi appeared in front of him like a savior. The corners of her smiling mouth, the reflective hair, and even the fragrance in the air began to be infinitely magnified.
Cheng Chiyan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Looking at the ceiling, his grandmother appeared in front of him with an oxygen tube inserted.
