As soon as the door opened, Lan Xi stopped in her tracks when she saw the scene inside. Next to Teacher Zhang sat an old lady, and next to the old lady sat a slightly younger woman.
The three of them looked at Lan Xi in unison. Teacher Zhang stood up with a guilty conscience: "Lan Xi, you're here!"
Putting the phone in her bag, Lan Xi walked into the box and closed the door behind her. The scene was a bit like a trial in court.
"Miss Lan!" The old lady sitting in the middle spoke, pointing to the seat opposite her with a smile on her face: "Please sit down!"
Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, put the bag in her hand on the chair next to her, took off her coat and put it on the back of the chair, then sat down, smoothing her skirt.
She didn't say anything, but just looked quietly at the three women opposite. The woman next to the old lady frowned slightly when she saw her like this.
"Miss Lan, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid you wouldn't come. Now that we're all sitting together, let me introduce myself. I'm..."
The old lady spoke, her tone calm, the smile on her face still there.
Lan Xi raised her hand and stopped the old lady from speaking:
"I know who you two are. No need to introduce yourselves. Just tell me what you want!"
The woman next to the old lady was dissatisfied with Lan Xi's arrogant attitude:
"Miss Lan, just because you know who we are, can you interrupt your elders?"
The old lady reached out and pressed the woman, signaling her to calm down.
"I'm very busy. If it's about your surgery, I think Cheng Chiyan should have already said that there should be no other contact between us except Cheng Chiyan!"
Lan Xi didn't even look at the woman and spoke directly to the old lady.
The woman seemed to want to say something else, but she felt a slight pressure on her hand.
The people who came were Cheng Chiyan's mother and grandmother. The old lady was not angry because of Lan Xi's words, but just said happily:
"You don't want to see us, but we have to see you! After all, you saved my life!"
Seeing Lan Xi's mood getting worse, Teacher Zhang quickly stepped out to smooth things over:
"Xixi, today we ordered all your favorite dishes. Let's eat!"
"Yes, yes! Let's eat first!"
The old lady was cheerful, like a Maitreya Buddha. She picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef for Lan Xi: "Eat more, you are too thin!"
Lan Xi looked at the beef in the bowl and didn't pick up the chopsticks. She... had no appetite!
Cheng Chiyan's mother couldn't bear it any longer. She frowned and said:
"You kid, don't you say anything when your elders pick up food?"
Lan Xi leaned back, folded her arms, and said calmly:
"Because you two are elders, I have been very patient. Cheng Chiyan should have told you before that I don't want to see you and have no plans to! Why are you still so persistent?"
Professor Zhang frowned. Although she knew that Lan Xi's status meant there was no need for him to be polite to them, such a bad attitude was really inappropriate.
"Lan Xi, Cheng Chiyan's parents can't find you, but his grandmother is my teacher, and I happen to know you, so..." Professor Zhang spoke to smooth things over.
"Professor Zhang, you studied law. Don't you know that you can't disclose information about a client without their consent? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Why did you trick me into coming here?"
Lan Xi was not being polite. Did these people think she had too good a temper?
"Miss Lan, what you said is very interesting. My son is currently under public scrutiny. If that's the case, I haven't even said that you're affecting my son's reputation!"
Cheng's mother took over the conversation and said that if she hadn't seen the trending searches online, she wouldn't have known that her son had been misunderstood to this extent.
Lan Xi couldn't help laughing, and the low laughter flowing from her throat sounded quite pleasant.
"What are you laughing at?" Mother Cheng felt that Lan Xi was going to piss her off to death despite her good temper!
Lan Xi waved her head and said, "What do you think Cheng Chiyan asked me to save his grandmother in exchange for? Do you think he borrowed money from me?"
The smile on his face grew infinitely, and Lan Xi continued to speak while the three people were stunned:
"What ability does Cheng Chiyan have that allowed me to choose him impartially among so many cancer patients? I'm not a kind person!"
Mother Cheng was so angry she was speechless, but Grandma Cheng seemed to accept it well. She patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said to Lan Xi, "So... you really are taking care of my grandson?"
Lan Xi nodded openly: "I have a crush on your grandson and offered to use your surgery in exchange for him staying by my side."
"So what do the hot searches of the past two days mean?" asked Grandma Cheng.
Lan Xi shook her head: "Maybe... Cheng Chiyan is really in love?"
Grandma Cheng shook her head, her face calm: "Chi Yan wouldn't do something like that, you should know that!"
She recovered well, looking at Lan Xi with a calm expression, and even began to listen to her daughter-in-law scoop a bowl of soup for her.
Lan Xi nodded in agreement, tapping the armrest with her fingers: "Indeed, he was wronged!"
As Mother Cheng looked at Lan Xi, she felt more and more that this young lady had no respect for her elders and was ill-educated!
"How are you going to deal with this? Why not clarify it?" Professor Zhang asked.
Lan Xi seemed to have never thought about this question. She looked slightly surprised, then burst out laughing.
"What's there to clarify? The situation is favorable to me now, so of course I have to make the best use of it. Otherwise, I've been wrongly accused for nothing!"
"He's the child of a capitalist! He wants to take advantage of everything!" Cheng's mother muttered in a low voice.
My first impression of Lan Xi is extremely bad!
Other people’s impressions have never been something Lan Xi needs to care about!
"Thank you for the compliment! Is there anything else you guys can do? If not, I'll be leaving first!"
