Chapter 206: Reasoning With Emotion
“Grandma, you’ve suffered. I’ll get Mom and Dad to pick you up,” Lan Yaxin stood up and said.
“Don’t. Your parents’ financial condition isn’t good either. I might just pass away on that day. Are your parents worried about my illness? I can’t implicate them. I can still eat the special medicine your second uncle gave me while I’m here, so I can live a few more days.”
“In addition, I’ll have to find a chance to talk to your second uncle about the house and the job for your father so that I can leave without worry.”
Zhao Xiumei would die still thinking about her eldest son. She wouldn’t rest in peace until these issues were resolved.
Lan Yaxin sighed internally. Her parents were busy gambling and playing mahjong, so they didn’t have time to think about Grandma. She was only here to find evidence of the Lan Family’s abuse, but she hadn’t found anything yet.
“Grandma, what are you saying? Don’t worry, you will get better. I’m leaving, I’ll tell Mom and Dad to come and see you.”
Lan Yaxin stood up and was walking out, when she ran into Lan Anran.
“Are you here to see if I tortured Grandma?”Lan Anran smiled and asked.
“I haven’t seen Grandma in a long time and was missing her. Do you think everyone is as evil as you?”
Lan Yaxin spoke disdainfully.
“You’re giving up so quickly? Seems like you don’t miss Grandma after all.”
Lan Anran laughed mockingly as she brushed past Lan Yaxin.
“You…”
“Yaxin is here.”
Li Yueru rushed back to visit Zhao Xiumei during her lunch break.
“Second Aunt, I’m leaving. I’m here to visit Grandma on behalf of my parents. They are a little busy now and Grandma seems to be doing well. I’ll make a move first, there is still class in the afternoon.”
Lan Yaxin left with a smile.
“Mom, it’s time for lunch, right? Did Anran cook anything?” Li Yueru placed her bag down and asked.
“Madam, everything is ready. We will give Old Mrs. Lan some tonics as per your requirements to nourish her body,” the caregiver said.
Li Yueru looked at the table of dishes and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhao Xiumei frowned. She hadn’t digested the abalone porridge in the morning and it was a meal full of nourishments in the afternoon. Who could endure this?
“Mom, eat more, these are good things for your health. Is the medicine effective?”
Li Yueru scooped a large bowl of abalone porridge for Zhao Xiumei and placed it in front of her.
“It’s alright, it doesn’t have much effect. I feel like my health is deteriorating day by day.”
Zhao Xiumei sighed.
“Mom, don’t think that way. Don’t worry, Tingyun and I will definitely try our best to treat you.”
Li Yueru comforted her.
“Forget it, the hospital doesn’t want me anymore. I’m running out of gas. Yueru, how long have you been married into the Lan Family?”
Zhao Xiumei recalled.
“More than ten years.”
Li Yueru thought about it.
“That was fast! Yueru, I know Tingyun gets along with you all the time and listens to you the most. Tell Tingyun that I still want to go back to the old house. I want to go back to the roots after I’m dead, so please fulfill my wish,” Zhao Xiumei sighed and said.
Li Yueru was at a loss. This was Lan Tingyun’s mother and logically, she should help her, but she couldn’t afford the house.
“Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the money to buy the house has been invested in the hospital and there isn’t much money left at home. I think we should wait for Tingyun to come back and discuss this with him.”
Li Yueru couldn’t make the decision directly and could only play along.
“Grandma, don’t think about it anymore. Hurry and finish the abalone porridge. There’s also turtle soup here, it’s very nourishing. Have some more.”
Lan Anran blew on the spoon for Zhao Xiumei and sent it to her mouth. She had to drink it.
“Yueru, tell Anran I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Zhao Xiumei turned to Li Yueru for help. She knew that Lan Anran was taking revenge on her, but she was afraid that the house would be gone if she said anything, so she could only swallow her anger.
“Mom, Grandma didn’t eat much when you weren’t around, perhaps because of her illness. Grandma always said she didn’t have an appetite, you’ll have to persuade her.”
Lan Anran spoke sincerely.
“Mom, you have to eat more, be good.”
Li Yueru started to persuade as well. It was rare to see her daughter at peace with Old Mrs. Lan, so she was very pleased.
Zhao Xiumei had no choice but to bite the bullet.
….
The Mo Family.
Mo San had returned from Liangxi County with some Qian Xiang.
“Young Master, the items have been sent to the laboratory,” Mo San said.
“Okay, bring me the company’s recent pharmaceutical sales record and account book,” Mo Jinrong said.
“Young Master, these should have been looked at last month. Why haven’t you read the account books in the past few days when I wasn’t around? Am I that important?” Mo San chuckled and said.
“Enough nonsense! Bring it to me!”
Mo Jinrong spoke in a deep voice.
“Understood.”
Mo San lowered his head and brought the accounts to Mo Jinrong’s table.
“Young Master, how are things between you and Miss Lan?” Mo San asked.
“Nothing much, what else can she do after the divorce?”
Mo Jinrong looked at the flower bed calmly, signalling Mo San to keep quiet with his gaze.
Mo San seemed to understand and shut his mouth obediently.
He stared at the flower bed with his eyes and finally noticed a medium-sized wiretap by the side of the flower bed. It was stuck in the inner side of the flower bed and would be difficult to notice if he wasn’t paying attention.
“Mo San, has Old Mrs. Mo did anything after my divorce?”
