Chapter 439 - Secretly Drugged

“Where is my mom? Is she alright?” Lan Anran asked anxiously.

“Your mom doesn’t have any problems, let’s sit down and talk.”

Lan Anran looked at the food on the table and understood that this was a trap, they had planned it.

“Why did you trick me into coming here?” Lan Anran sat down and asked cautiously.

These people wouldn’t look for her if they were free, and it wouldn’t be good if they did.

“Anran, you should know that my life is tough. My husband is in jail and I only have one daughter. Our family is poor and we don’t have much money. I can only hope to marry my daughter into a rich family. But Yaxin seems to be possessed. She just isn’t willing. I have no choice.”

Xu Yanshan started to act pitiful.

“If you want to talk to me about Yaxin, you don’t have to trick me with my mother. I’ve tried my best regarding Yaxin. The rest is up to you. There’s no point in asking me.” Lan Anran smiled faintly and asked.

“Yes, yes, yes, I know. But Jinrong is the CEO of the Mo Corporation, he can always have a few words with the Zou Family. Let Jinrong talk to the Zou Family. We will persuade Yaxin. Can you give her a few more days? We know that they are a good family. When Yaxin thinks it through, we will send her over.”

Xu Yanshan smiled and poured some wine.

“Cough, cough, your aunt is right, you and Mo Jinrong are capable. Grandma and I are counting on you now. These dishes were personally prepared by me, Grandma hasn’t cooked in years. Have a taste and see whether my skills have deteriorated?”

Zhao Xiumei tried her best to promote the dishes she cooked.

Lan Anran looked at the dishes and a sense of disgust welled up in her heart.

She smiled.

“Even if you have forgotten now, back then you sent me to the countryside when I was a child. I have never eaten the food you have cooked. Besides, Grandma hasn’t cooked in so many years, so I’m not sure if I can eat this dish.” Lan Anran mocked her deliberately.

“You brat!”

She wanted to continue cursing, but was stopped by Xu Yanshan.

“That’s just how your grandma talks, don’t take it to heart. It doesn’t matter if you weren’t around to try her cooking before, but try this red wine. It’s one of your uncle’s treasures and he usually can’t bear to drink it. It’s said to be from 1982,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.

Lan Anran looked at the red wine and smiled.

“Aunt, did you poison this wine?”

Xu Yanshan’s expression changed, and she took a sip from the glass.

“Why are you so paranoid? I told you that I wanted you to help us say a few words to the Zou Family. It’s alright if you aren’t willing, but why are you slandering us? Your grandma worked hard to cook and she stir-fried food for half a day. It’s bad enough that you’re not eating, but you’re still mocking us.”

Lan Anran watched Xu Yanshan drink a mouthful before picking up the red wine to savor it with relief.

“It’s your fault for doing such things before. You have to have the right to make others trust you.”

Xu Yanshan was at a loss for words. She looked at the girl in front of her angrily, with a smile on her face and hatred in her heart.

“You brat! You’ll get it soon,” she thought to herself as she watched Lan Anran drink the red wine.

Lan Anran felt something amiss the moment she drank it. She studied herbs often and was familiar with the taste of the colorless and odorless herbs.

Every herb mixed with the wine tasted different even though they were colorless and odorless.

This bottle of red wine was probably semi-sweet and had a slightly sweet scent when drunk, but it was bitter in her mouth. It should have been the taste of medicine and wine combined. Were these two people drugging her?

She pretended not to know and drank it, using her other hand to seal her acupuncture point.

“Aunt, your wine doesn’t seem very nice. I don’t think it’s from 1982.”

She smiled.

Xu Yanshan smiled awkwardly. “I don’t understand these things either, but I heard that it was quite expensive. Since you’re here to eat, it means that you will help me with my request.”

“Of course I have to help since Aunt has asked of me. I won’t be eating, I have something to do and will leave first.”

Lan Anran stood up, wanting to leave.

“Anran, you haven’t had your meal. Grandma worked hard to cook it, isn’t it a pity to let it go to waste?”

Xu Yanshan was a little anxious. Did she notice something?

“I’m not eating, I’ll go back first. I couldn’t get through to Mom’s phone, so I’m anxious.”

The moment Lan Anran walked out, she felt dizzy. Even though she had sealed her acupuncture points, it could only slow down the effects of the medicine.

Xu Yanshan sent Lan Anran out and followed behind, afraid that she wouldn’t achieve her goal.

“Auntie, there’s no need to send me off. You can go back first, I can handle myself.”

She turned around and smiled.

She wanted to see what these two old women were up to.

Lan Anran felt dizzy and she tried hard to control her consciousness to maintain it.

Left with no choice, she could only stumble as she took out a silver needle from her bag and inserted it into her acupuncture point. She abruptly pulled it out and let out some blood, which energized her.

She pretended to fall to the ground.

Xu Yanshan summoned a man from behind.

“Hurry, she’s fainted.”

She spoke to the man behind her.

The man hurried forward and looked at Lan Anran lustfully.

He had small eyes and a face full of freckles. He wasn’t as tall as Xu Yanshan and was slightly fat. He carried Lan Anran with difficulty.

“This girl is mine today. Will she take revenge on me after she wakes up?” he asked.

He had never seen such a pretty girl and it seemed like he was lucky today.

“Don’t worry, she won’t. But let me remind you, she is rich and powerful. You should just take a few photos. I can’t control your other actions, anyways, you can send the photos to me after you are done.”

Xu Yanshan smiled and turned around.

Zhao Xiumei asked excitedly when they returned, “How is it?”

“It’s done, this person is a beggar I picked up from the streets. I treated him with a meal and even gave him a set of clothes. I’ve given him such a beautiful girl for nothing. He will be sensible. It’s a pity that girl had such a slutty appearance, but it ended up benefiting a beggar.

How should I sow discord between Mo Jinrong and her later?” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.

“My daughter-in-law sure is something. I can’t let Tingyun know about this, or he might not recognize me as his mother.” Zhao Xiumei reminded her.

“Don’t worry, how would Tingyun know about this? I’ll act pretentious and find that b*tch after that beggar is done. Then I’ll ridicule her,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.
