Lan Xi held Huahua's shoulders, asked her to face the elders, squatted beside her and asked:
"Auntie asks you a question, can you answer it for him?"
Lan Xi pointed at Lan Qi. Hua Hua looked in the direction of her finger and pouted in confusion:
"He's such a grown man, is there anything he doesn't know?"
Children don't speak very smartly; they just say whatever comes to their mind.
Lan Qi's face turned red in an instant. He looked at Lan Ting'an helplessly and found that the latter was looking at Lan Xi with a grim face.
"Adults also have many questions they don't understand, so don't be ashamed to ask questions at this time!"
Lan Xi looked at Huahua's face and spoke to her.
Huahua nodded in confusion: "Then ask Auntie!"
Lan Xi patted Huahua's head and said, "Okay, why can't we make any noise while eating?"
Huahua was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lan Qi with complicated eyes: "Don't you even understand this?"
That look seemed to be saying, how could you be so stupid!
"There's an old saying: 'Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping.' Our ancestors taught us a long time ago that we should talk less, or not at all, while eating! Secondly, we shouldn't knock our chopsticks against the bowls and plates because only beggars would knock on the bowls and plates to signal the host when begging. The Lan family is a business family that's most averse to such things happening!"
Huahua spoke slowly, but each word was clear.
Lan Qi's face turned pale with every word she said. He even took a step back and opened his mouth to speak.
Huahua stepped forward and raised her hand to interrupt Lan Qi: "Elder, I haven't finished speaking yet, one last point!"
The bright smile on her face slowly faded, and she became a little sad: "My great-grandfather had a younger sister who died on the battlefield. That day..."
"It's New Year's Eve!"
After saying these four words, Lan Qi took a step back. He had never expected that it would be for such a reason: "Grandpa..."
He looked at Lan Xiangfu in panic and called him Grandpa. He wanted to apologize.
"Huahua! Your answer is very good. Let's go back and have dinner!" Lan Xiangfu said to Huahua with his head down, as if he didn't hear it.
Huahua opened her arms and hugged Lan Xiangfu, patting him on the back twice: "Grandpa!"
She was young and didn't know how to comfort her great grandfather, so she just hugged him, then raised her head and said in a baby voice:
"Grandpa, eat more and take care of yourself! Wait until Huahua grows up!"
Lan Xiangfu looked at Huahua and vaguely remembered his youngest sister. She also left a message before she left that year.
"Brother, you have to eat well, take care of yourself, and wait for me to come back!"
"good!"
Lan Xiangfu reached out and rubbed Huahua's head, saying lightly: "Go back and eat!"
Lan Xi stood aside and glanced at Zhu Lingling.
Huahua was taken away by Zhu Lingling. When she passed by Lan Qi, she looked up at him. Children are the most innocent, and the light in their eyes made Lan Qi unable to look directly at them.
"Butler!" Lan Xiangfu withdrew his gaze, ignored Lan Qi, and just waved to the butler.
The butler nodded slightly and walked to Lan Qi: "Master Qi, please come in!"
Lan Qi opened his mouth but found he couldn't say anything. He looked at his father for help, but the latter turned and left after he looked over.
Everyone in the restaurant looked at Lan Qi with disdain, contempt, disgust, and ridicule...
He took two steps back and turned to meet Lan Xi's eyes. She was looking at him calmly without any emotion, but he fled in panic under such a look!
The restaurant returned to silence, Lan Xiangfu picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Lan Xi knew that grandpa was angry!
After lunch, Jiang Yun and Lan Tingxu looked at each other, stood up and left.
Li Yulan stood in the crowd, looking at Lan Xi's back, tightly clutching the cloth spread on the dining table.
"Dad! It's time for you to take a nap!" Lan Tingxu whispered to Lan Xiangfu.
Lan Xiangfu let his son help him stand up:
"Go back to your bedrooms and rest! I'm sorry for embarrassing you all today!"
Everyone said they didn't dare and watched Lan Xiangfu leave.
After leaving the restaurant, Lan Xiangfu said to the returning housekeeper, "Tell someone to prepare the ointment!"
Lan Tingxu was standing behind the old man. When he heard these words, he smiled faintly.
Two hours later, Zhu Lingling applied medicine to Lan Xi's knee: "Miss, you are really prodding the old man!"
Lan Xi leaned against the bed and lazily looked at her phone:
"It's a bit radical, but Lan Qi has no chance! From this perspective, it's just kneeling for two hours!"
Yes!
Lan Xi used her deceased aunt to prevent Lan Qi from ever becoming a member of the management team!
But the old man couldn't accept this approach!
So after the banquet, she took the initiative to go to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment.
The old man... is still on her side. Without her, the Lan family will have no successor!
"The Second Master said that you should go find him after you wake up, he has something to tell you!" Zhu Lingling put away the ointment and stood up.
Lan Xi's eyes flashed with annoyance. What on earth did her uncle want to do?
As soon as the bedroom door opened, Li Yulan appeared at the door with ointment in her hand.
The door opened suddenly, and she took two steps back, putting her hands in her pockets.
"What's the matter?" Lan Xi said impatiently.
Her attitude made Li Yulan want to explode instantly. She had good intentions in getting the medicine for her, so why was she speaking in such a tone?
"I still have something to do. If you don't have anything to do, just stay downstairs!" Before Li Yulan could say anything to scold her, Lan Xi walked past her.
"Your knee..." Li Yulan still took out the ointment, but she had never cared about Lan Xi before, so she couldn't say the words of concern.
