Chapter 45: The Awkward Xu Yanshan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Yanshan was so angry that she saw stars. She clenched her fists tightly, wanting to rip Lan Anran into two. Suddenly, her gaze landed on the two people behind her. One was ugly and looked to be in his forties, while the other was extremely handsome, but dressed very normally.
“These two are…” She asked curiously.
“Sis-In-Law, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Mo Jinrong, his driver is beside him.”
Lan Tingyun was a little embarrassed. His son-in-law was almost the same age as him, so he was too embarrassed to say anything and couldn’t even lift his head.
Xu Yanshan was overjoyed. Mo Jinrong was too ugly. It was as the rumours said. No matter how eloquent Lan Anran was, her life was miserable. She wasn’t looking for a husband, she had found a father!
She suppressed her joy and smiled.
“Young Master Mo, seeing is believing. I heard that you and Anran have registered your marriage. When can we attend your wedding?”
“Mrs. Lan, this is the key to the West Court. Remember, Young Master promised you a villa, so you can move in anytime.”
Mo Jinrong handed the key over respectfully, ignoring Xu Yanshan.
West Court?
It was the most expensive house in Rong Cheng and anyone who could live there was a well-known figure. Lan Tingyun and her had made several appointments to see homes, but hadn’t been able to get anything. This girl actually obtained a villa in the West Court so easily?
Even so, Xu Yanshan knew that Lan Anran was married to an ugly monster because of the Mo Family’s money. When the ugly monster jinxed her to death, this villa might even be hers!
Lan Anran took the key and looked at Xu Yanshan triumphantly, putting it in her bag.
“Madam, it’s our family time now. You can leave if you are finished with your business,” Mo Jinrong spoke respectfully to Xu Yanshan.
“Nonsense! They are my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law. How am I not a family member? There is no way you can chase me away!”
Xu Yanshan was furious. She had never received such treatment, how dare a chauffeur speak to her in such a manner.
“Auntie, you’ve seen my mom already, so there’s no point in you staying here. Are you perhaps thinking of taking the money back?”
Lan Anran looked at her and smiled.
Xu Yanshan gritted her teeth in hatred. She was here to ask for money and wanted to take advantage of Lan Tingyun. She didn’t expect Lan Anran, that brat, to refuse her at all. She had no manners!
“Lan Tingyun, look at what your daughter is saying. Aren’t you going to discipline her? Does she still respect me?” Xu Yanshan scolded Lan Anran.
“Auntie, it’s best that you go back now. My mom’s illness has just gotten better. She will be upset if you make a fuss,” Lan Yanran spoke softly.
“This is outrageous! You little rascal, how dare you bully me! Lan Tingyun, don’t think that just because your daughter is married to the Mo Family and has the backing of the Mo Family, you are untouchable. Let me tell you, there is no way you are going to bully me!” Xu Yanshan continued to chatter.
Mo Jinrong’s head buzzed from the sharp voice.
“Madam, I remember that Old Mrs. Lan is well-known in the medical field. Are you her daughter-in-law?”
When Xu Yanshan heard the chauffeur’s question, she didn’t know how to reply.
Zhao Xiumei was a big shot in the medical field and was known for her pride. If she admitted to it, it would be an embarrassment to Old Mrs. Lan and she would definitely be scolded.
Xu Yanshan shook her head, looking embarrassed.
“No, then why are you still here?” Mo Jinrong asked.
Lan Tingyun glanced at the chauffeur. He was handsome and quick-witted… It would have been great if he were actually Mo Jinrong.
Xu Yanshan was stumped, small flames blazing in her eyes.
“Sorry, Mom, I just heard that you were ill and came a little late.”
Mo San noticed the situation and went up to ask about Li Yueru, ignoring Xu Yanshan.
Li Yueru was a little embarrassed. This person was almost as old as her and she wasn’t used to him calling her “Mom”. She forced a smile and nodded.
“This is a little gift from Young Master Mo.”
Mo Jinrong took some boxes and placed them on the table.
Xu Yanshan looked at the brightly colored box. It wasn’t pretty at all and it was so small, so there must be something worthless inside.
“I’ve made Young Master Mo spend too much money. I’m feeling much better.”
Li Yueru smiled.
Mo San opened the gift box, revealing a dazzling ruby pendant.
“This is red coral. You can clear your eyes and stop the bleeding by wearing it.”
Mo San smiled.
“It must be very expensive. I heard that red coral is very expensive. A good one costs tens of thousands,” the nurse said from across the room.
Lan Tingyun was a little surprised as well. He didn’t expect Mo Jinrong to do this for Anran even though he was ugly.
“It wasn’t too much money.”
Mo San didn’t care. It wasn’t his money anyway, so he didn’t feel the pinch.
The few of them chatted and laughed. Mo Jinrong stood in silence while Xu Yanshan was left alone, looking embarrassed.
What nonsense!
She cursed silently and turned to leave angrily.
