Chapter 262 - Lan Tingyi is Back

“Nonsense! Why did you suddenly get a divorce?”

Old Mrs. Mo became even more furious. One thing wasn’t over and yet she was angry about another.

“Mom, I’ve thought it through over the past two days. Mo Changwen and I have reached the end of our marriage. The fact that he is willing to give his assets to his illegitimate son proves that our marriage is at an end. My son can not end up with nothing, so I’m going to divorce him.”

Xu Peixin spoke calmly.

“Nonsense! Who said that our Yangyang doesn’t have anything? He is the grandson of the Mo Family, after all. He has to have a share of the Mo Family’s assets. This isn’t something that that unfilial son can decide. As long as I’m still alive, Yangyang will be able to get a share of the Mo Family’s assets.”

Old Mrs. Mo promised, but Xu Pei didn’t take it to heart. After the divorce, the assets they received were enough for the rest of their lives, so she didn’t ask for too much.

“I’m asking you, how much do you know about Anran? Did Changwen tell you about this?” Old Mrs. Mo asked.

“I’ve never asked about his matters, I really didn’t know about this.”

Xu Pei really didn’t understand what Mo Changwen was doing. Over the years, she had more or less noticed the things Mo Changwen did by her side, but now, she didn’t care about what he was doing at all, so she had no idea about the recent incident.

“Where is Changwen now?” Old Mrs. Mo asked with concern.

“Probably with the illegitimate child.”

When Old Mrs. Mo heard Xu Pei’s words, she didn’t want to go either.

She took out her phone and called Mo Changwen.

“You unfilial son, where are you now?”

Old Mrs. Mo’s solemn tone made Mo Changwen guess what happened.

“Mom! This has nothing to do with me. I didn’t see Lan Anran at all. You can’t just listen to one side of the story and accuse me.”

Mo Changwen immediately denied it.

“You’re my son, I know what kind of person you are.”

“Mom, I’m your son, don’t you believe me? You’re asking me after hearing a rumor? Am I really your biological son?”

“Do you know that you killed someone? It’s illegal and you’re going to jail. Why are you still so stubborn? In the past, I didn’t care about your cheap tricks and turned a blind eye to them. But now, you dare to kill Anran? She is your niece-in-law. How could you bear to do that? Tell me, why did you do that?”

Old Mrs. Mo didn’t believe Mo Changwen’s lie at all.

“Mom, if you think I’m breaking the law, find someone to arrest me. I’m not afraid. Of course I know she’s my niece-in-law. How could I kill her?”

Mo Changwen hung up the phone angrily and subsequently panicked. If anything went wrong, he would be taken to jail.

Hence, he got his subordinates to pretend to inadvertently visit the scene to see if there were any clues left behind. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he got his men to look for Lan Anran’s corpse at the foot of the mountain. They still hadn’t found anything after a few days.

“Strange, why isn’t there a corpse?”

Mo Changwen was puzzled.

He would have to see her if she was alive or if she was dead. He wouldn’t be at ease without a corpse in front of him.

“There are woods, shrubs, and many snakes, insects, rats, and ants at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps the wild beasts ate it. After all, it’s been a few days and it’s impossible for her to survive.”

His subordinate comforted him.

Mo Changwen thought about it and felt relieved, so he waited to attend Lan Anran’s memorial.

….

A few days passed and there was still no news of Lan Anran. Lan Tingyun would go to the scenic area of Mingshan to look for his daughter everyday as he always believed that she wasn’t dead.

Li Yueru was in grief everyday and her health was deteriorating. Now, she lay in bed everyday and let Lan Yanran wait on her.

Lan Yanran felt extremely guilty and stopped all his acting activities. He hated himself for not being able to save his sister and for making her lose her life for him. He had insomnia every day and was very haggard.

Zhao Xiumei was the only one who was energetic and her health was getting better by the day. She started to pack her things, wanting to go to Lan Tingyi’s house.

Although Lan Tingyi was on the run, the news of Lan Anran’s death energized her. It was better than watching Lan Tingyun cry every day.

“Yueru, I’m leaving. It seems to be quite upsetting over here. I’ll go visit Tingyi’s house and won’t cause any trouble for you guys. Inform me when the memorial for Anran is ready, as her grandma, I didn’t take good care of her when she was alive, I’ll have to send her off when she dies.”

Zhao Xiumei said that she was sad, but she had no feelings at all.

“My daughter isn’t dead, she’s alive, she must be alive!” Li Yueru shouted.

Zhao Xiumei didn’t argue with her. She carried her things and left the Lan Family Villa happily, going to Lan Tingyi’s.

She knocked happily on the door.

Lan Tingyi was very vigilant inside. His skin was tanned and he was skinny. He, who led a pampered life, couldn’t stand the suffering of running away and had to sneak back in the middle of the night to find his wife and children.

Xu Yanshan looked through the peephole and saw that it was Zhao Xiumei. She opened the door happily..
