nHer shrewd eyes looked around in horror and a chilling sensation ran through her. Her gaze landed on Lan Anran again.

n

"You insolent girl! How dare you make fun of your grandfather. Tingyun, is this how you taught your daughter?

" Zhao Xiumei chided her unceremoniously.

nLan Tingyun felt uncomfortable as well and his face grew grim as he reproached Anran.

n

"Anran, how could you make fun of your dead grandfather? Hurry and apologise to your grandmother.

"

n

"Oh, I'm sorry Grandma. I shouldn't have made you upset by mentioning my dead grandfather, it's my fault,

" Lan Anran said obediently.

nZhao Xiumei was bothered by her words. She was upset because she mentioned her dead grandfather?

nBut she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. She swallowed her curse and rolled her eyes at Lan Anran.

n

"Mom, don't bicker with a child, be a role model and forgive her,

" Lan Tingyun persuaded.

n

"This child doesn't respect her elders at all. Tingyun, you'll have to discipline her well. She's too much.

"

nZhao Xiumei rolled her eyes at Lan Anran.

n

"Mom! Don't be angry… Is there a reason you called us over today?

" Lan Tingyun asked with a smile.

n

"Well this girl has been back for a while and yet you haven't come to inform me. I had no option but to invite you over. You're getting out of control!

" Zhao Xiumei looked at Lan Tingyun with dissatisfaction and said angrily.

n

"Grandma! Why are you angry again? Don't let it affect your health.

" Lan Yaxin walked downstairs with a grin.

nWhen Zhao Xiumei finally saw a granddaughter she adored, she smiled.

n

"My health hasn't been well for a long time and these unfilial things have been angering me. Fortunately, I still have a good granddaughter to cheer me up.

"

nZhao Xiumei held Lan Yaxin's hand as she spoke.

nLan Yaxin raised her head as if she just caught sight of Lan Tingyun's family. She stepped forward with a fake smile, greeting them one by one. Outsiders would have thought they had a close relationship.

nLan Anran was putting on a front as well with a fake smile.

nA loud woman's voice came from nearby and Lan Anran immediately knew it was Xu Yanshan.

n

"Everyone is here, I'm sorry I'm late. Tingyi met with a little trouble and couldn't come over, so I'm here by myself.

"

nXu Yanshan loved wearing a cheongsam paired with a shawl. She sashayed over to Old Mrs. Lan in her high heels, greeting her with a smile while ignoring Lan Tingyun and his family.

nLan Tingyun greeted her, but she ignored him and turned to start a merry conversation with Old Mrs. Lan.

n

"Second Aunt, are you a nouveau riche, you don't even acknowledge a greeting? Are you looking down on poor people like us?

" Lan Anran couldn't stand it anymore.

nXu Yanshan seemed to have only just noticed the bunch of people standing in front of her. She immediately smiled and apologised.

n

"Look at my poor eyesight, when did you guys come in? Anran sure has a sharp tongue. If you are poor, what are we?

"

n

"What else could you be? Villains?

"

nLan Yanran spoke very quietly, but Xu Yanshan caught it.

n

"Yanran, children should speak properly! Don't gossip behind other people's backs, you will become long-tongued,

" Xu Yanshan said angrily.
