Lan Tingyun watched his mother clamor at the side, his heart turning cold.
He knew that his mother didnât love him, but he didnât expect that he had no place in his motherâs heart at all.
âMom! Did you really throw a birthday party when I was about to die?â
Lan Tingyun sat on the hospital bed with tears in his eyes. His sudden voice shocked Zhao Xiumei.
âTingyun! Youâre awake? My son, your life is so bitter. Your biological daughter bullied your mom while you were unconscious. Now that youâre awake, you have to discipline her.â
Now, Zhao Xiumei was putting on a pitiful appearance so that her son could pity her.
But what she didnât know was that her sonâs heart had turned cold.
âTingyun, youâre awake?â
Xu Yanshanâs expression turned to one of shock and sadness.
âMy dad just woke up, what are you doing here?â
Lan Anran didnât look at them, she picked up the fruit knife by the side, picked up an apple, and gently peeled the apple skin.
âLan Anran, donât go overboard. We are your elders and you have been disrespectful and defamed me time and time again. We didnât bicker with you, but today, you are too much. You didnât just defame Yaxin, you also embarrassed your grandma in front of so many people.
Tingyun, actually, I shouldnât tell you about this but I have to explain myself today. Your daughter was outrageousâ¦â
Before Xu Yanshan could finish her sentence, Lan Tingyun spoke with a pained expression.
âNo matter how outrageous my daughter is, she is still my daughter. Since when is it an outsiderâs turn to gossip? Iâm still sick, donât disturb my rest. Get out!â
Lan Tingyun finally didnât stand on ceremony with them, his words were harsh.
âTingyun! I know youâre ill and Iâm your mother. I donât want to bicker with you, but is it right for you to speak to your sister-in-law like this? Is this what I taught you since you were a child? How could you have no mannersââ
Zhao Xiumei shielded Xu Yanshan as she cursed.
âMom! In your eyes, she is your family while I am an outsider. Please take your beloved daughter-in-law and leave this place. I need to rest!â
Lan Tingyun didnât want to look at his mother anymore.
Zhao Xiumei was flushed with anger, thinking about how filial her son usually was. He never complained, so how did it end up like this?
âGood, good! Letâs see how long you can protect this brat! If you donât give me an explanation today, Iâm going to tear down this hospital!â
As Zhao Xiumei spoke, she sat down on the floor and crossed her legs like a little old lady from a village.
Lan Anran sat there silently, peeling the apple without raising her head to look at Zhao Xiumei.
âGrandma! Dad chased you away, so why are you still sitting here?â Lan Yanran mumbled.
He never dared to look Zhao Xiumei in the eye. Perhaps it was the trauma from a young age, but he had never looked directly at this fierce-looking grandma when he grew up.
âB*stard! I canât deal with your dad, but can I not deal with you? Since when are you allowed to gossip here? Do you think youâre great after becoming a big star? But even if you are the Jade Emperor, you have to respect me!â
Xu Yanshan cursed.
She vented all her grievances on Lan Yanran as if warning Lan Tingyun that no matter what Old Mrs. Lan did, she was right and he should always be filial to his elders.
Lan Anran suddenly stopped and stared at Xu Yanshan with a terrifying gaze. An apple was successfully skinned and she handed it to Lan Yanran.
She didnât put down the knife in her hand, but walked straight towards them with it.
âAnranâ¦â
âSis, put the knife down!â
Lan Yanran looked at Lan Anran nervously. She clenched the knife in her hand tightly, not having the slightest intention of putting it down.
âYou⦠What are you trying to do?â
Xu Yanshan swallowed nervously.
âYou brat, what are you trying to do? Put the knife down. Let me tell you, there are people here and if you hurt me, you will go to jail!â
Zhao Xiumei watched Lan Anran walk towards her with a knife in hand. She was frightened and hurriedly sat up, shrinking into a corner.
âAnran! Put the knife down.â
Lan Tingyun spoke anxiously from behind her.
Li Yueru couldnât bear to watch her daughter do such a thing. She was just about to step forward to stop Lan Anran when she smiled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGrandma, what are you afraid of? I just wanted to peel an apple for you. Auntie, do you want some?â
Lan Anran pointed the tip of the knife at Xu Yanshan, her gaze extremely horrifying, as if she wanted to kill them.
Xu Yanshan hurriedly shook her head.
âGrandma, do you want some?â
Lan Anran turned around again with a sinister smile on her face.
Zhao Xiumei swallowed and shook her head hurriedly, horror written all over her face.
âGrandma, donât be scared. This knife isnât sharp at all, it canât even swiftly peel an apple, let alone hurt someone. Who wants to try?â
Lan Anran held the knife and continued to gesture around Xu Yanshan. The blade was very sharp and against the light, one could almost see the reflected glint.
The two of them shook their heads immediately. Xu Yanshan was frightened and she glanced at Lan Tingyun, who was behind Lan Anran.
âTingyun, hurry and persuade your daughter. Is she possessed? I donât want to dieâ¦â
âShe wouldnât dare! Iâm her grandma and youâre her aunt. Would she dare to kill someone here? If she daresâ¦â
Zhao Xiumei mustered her courage, thinking that Lan Anran didnât dare to kill her, so her voice trembled slightly. Lan Anran suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Xiumei.
âWhat if I dare? Grandma, do you want to try?â
Lan Anran held the knife and inched closer to Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei was so frightened that she knelt under the table, trembling and curled up. Lan Anran had never seen this old thing so scared.
âAnran, donâtââ
Li Yueru shouted from behind, afraid that the tip of the knife would touch Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei closed her eyes in fear.
âGrandma, what are you afraid of? I just saw a thread on your clothes and wanted to help you remove it.â
Lan Anran saw the thread on Zhao Xiumeiâs shoulder and she used a knife to cut it off.
Lan Tingyun sighed in relief. He knew his daughter wouldnât do such a thing.
âGrandma! Itâs getting late, I think itâs time for you to go back. If some people continue to gossip, the tongue would be cut instead of the thread!â
Lan Anran threatened.
Zhao Xiumei was frightened to death. She hurriedly stood up from under the table and ran out at double speed.
Xu Yanshan watched as Old Mrs. Lan left. It was dangerous for her to stay here alone.
âI⦠Iâm leaving too!â
Xu Yanshan inched out slowly.
Li Yueru heaved a sigh of relief.
âAnran, your appearance was too scary, you scared me. I thought you were going to do something silly. You canât scare people like this anymore. Your father just recovered from his illness.â.
