Chapter 44: What She Had Was Gone

“What are you looking at? Let’s go.”

Lan Anran pulled Zhao Xiaolei to the side.

Zhao Xiaolei looked at Mo Jinrong reluctantly, then turned, and left. She had never seen such a handsome driver.

The two of them parted ways at the bus stop. Lan Anran called Lan Yanran and asked him to come find her.

“Sis, did you see that person?” Lan Yanran walked over and asked. He wasn’t willing to call him his hideous brother-in-law, it was too embarrassing.

Lan Anran nodded, wanting to leave as soon as possible. If the gossipers in class found out that Mo Jinrong was an ugly monster who drove a luxurious car, they would definitely mock her.

She nodded. The bus arrived and she was about to board when a beautiful voice called out from behind, “Lan Anran!”

Lan Anran knew she wouldn’t be able to avoid it today, so she turned and smiled, pretending to be surprised.

“What are you doing here?”

“Miss Lan, Young Master knew that Mrs. Lan is ill and specifically wanted to visit her with you today. It was a little presumptuous of him to park the car at the entrance.Sorry for that,” Mo Jinrong apologized politely. There was a gleam in his eyes and his gaze was gentle.

“You knew it was presumptuous, but my mom’s illness is about to get better, so it’s too late for you to visit!”

Lan Yanran was furious when he saw the ugly monster.

“Yanran… Mr. Mo, I’m going to the hospital to see Mom, let’s go.”

Lan Anran thought it was a good idea to let others see the two of them together. Otherwise, if they registered their marriage and didn’t get along well, it would raise suspicions.

Lan Yanran followed behind reluctantly and got into the car.

Mo Jinrong’s car was large and spacious, with a sofa and air conditioner inside. He had never sat in such a nice car.

….

The hospital…

When Xu Yanshan heard that Li Yueru was ill, she said that she wanted to visit, but the truth was that it was the end of the month and her family didn’t have much money. She wanted to ask for some living expenses, so she beat around the bush.

“Big Sister-In-Law, there’s no need for you to bring anything,” Lan Tingyun spoke politely.

“I have to, or else people will talk again. Yaxin isn’t sensible, I know she came and probably didn’t bring anything. I hope you don’t mind.”

Xu Yanshan was very eloquent and Lan Yaxin had talked to her at home, causing her to still hate Lan Tingyun’s family.

“It’s alright, she’s still a child.”

Li Yueru smiled indifferently.

“Yueru, are you alright?”

Xu Yanshan was concerned.

“It’s okay, much better, don’t worry.”

Li Yueru continued, “You have to take care of your body. It’s the end of the month and Old Mrs. Lan’s condition is getting worse. If you fall ill…”

Xu Yanshan stopped midway and gestured for Lan Tingyun to hurry up with the money.

The mother and daughter were identical, both people who only recognized money.

Lan Tingyun understood what she meant and casually took out a bank card, handing it to Xu Yanshan.

“Sister-In-Law, I’ll pay for Mom’s retirement fee this month. Yueru is sick and the hospital is very busy. I won’t be going over. Can you help me give this to Mom?”

Li Yueru saw this, but didn’t say anything. They had to give Old Mrs. Lan a portion of their money every month and she had gotten used to it after a while.

Xu Yanshan accepted it without hesitation and smiled with satisfaction.

“It’s alright, I will pass it along to Mom. Yueru isn’t well, Mom will understand.”

Just then, Lan Anran pushed the door open and smiled when she saw Xu Yanshan holding a bank card.

“The beggar is here. Dad, how much money have we given her?”

“Anran, what are you saying?”

Although Li Yueru felt that Xu Yanshan was greedy for money, it wouldn’t be good for sisters-in-laws to quarrel too harshly.

“Mom, am I wrong? Isn’t she a beggar? Hasn’t she taken enough money from our family over the years?”

Lan Anran wasn’t afraid at all.

“Anran, you have no manners. I’m here to see your mom. Your dad gave me the money, but this is for Old Mrs. Lan. What kind of person do you think we are?”

Xu Yanshan was dissatisfied.

“You know very well what kind of person you are. Don’t you often use sweet words to ask Grandma to give you her retirement fee? Over the years, you have spent a lot of her retirement fee. Do you dare to say that you won’t take a portion of this money?”

Lan Anran seemed to know her next step. This was Xu Yanshan’s usual method. Once the money was in her hands, it would be hers.

“You… Yueru, Tingyun, I don’t have such intentions. If Anran believes this, then I don’t want the money. It will save others from saying that I’m hoarding the money.”

Xu Yanshan felt wronged.

“Sis-In-Law, don’t…”

Lan Tingyun was just about to speak when Lan Anran heard this and smiled.

“Ok, then I’ll take the money back.”

Lan Anran quickly snatched the bank card from Xu Yanshan’s hand and a trace of hatred flashed in Xu Yanshan’s eyes.

“You…”

When she saw that the money she had on hand was gone, she couldn’t take it lying down.

“Tingyun, you took the money back. If Mom asks, I had no part in this!”

“Don’t worry, I will send the money to Grandma herself. You don’t have to worry.”

Lan Anran smiled triumphantly.
