Chapter 73: The Tattletale

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After school, Lan Yaxin went to the Lan Family Villa and started sobbing the moment she entered.

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Grandma?”

The person in Zhao Xiumei’s arms was covered in tears and her heart ached.

“Grandma, you have to… You have to give me justice… Lan Anran and her brother are too much… They… They bullied me…”

Lan Yaxin lay in Zhao Xiumei’s arms and whimpered.

“What? They dare to bully you?”

Zhao Xiumei widened her eyes.

“Grandma, Lan Yanran posted my ugly photos on the school’s forum and made the entire school mock me. Now, I’m a joke. Lan Anran has also given me the nickname of the poker-faced man. Everyone is mocking and isolating me. I’m too ashamed to go to school. Grandma, you have to uphold justice for me.”

Lan Yaxin cried.

“Really? I didn’t expect so many things to happen to us since she came back. What a jinx. My good granddaughter, don’t cry. I will help you. I think my health is getting better and I can seek revenge from that jinx! Just you wait, Grandma will get justice for you. That rascal has only been around a few days and he’s already turned the sky upside down with his sister backing him. I won’t tolerate this!”

Zhao Xiumei cursed angrily.

“But Grandma, Lan Anran dared to hit you. If you go, she might even hit you again. What should we do?”

Lan Yaxin didn’t think her grandma’s reaction was explosive enough and needed some extra fuel, so she continued to add fuel to the fire.

“She wouldn’t dare! Let’s go now. I’m her biological grandmother and her father’s mother. Will she beat me to death?”

Lan Tingyi and Xu Yanshan walked in as well. Due to the lack of funds at home, Lan Tingyi had been coming over more frequently.

“Hey, my dear daughter, why are you crying?”

Xu Yanshan hugged her tenderly.

“That rascal Lan Yanran bullied her!” Zhao Xiumei said heartbrokenly.

“What? That brat dares to bully my daughter? He must be tired of living. I’ll get even with him!”

Lan Tingyi was upset to see his daughter like this.

“Stop! Why are you looking for him?”

Zhao Xiumei called out loudly.

“Are you going to let that rascal bully my daughter? Mom, Yaxin is your granddaughter. Aren’t you going to care if others bully her?”

Lan Tingyi couldn’t take it anymore.

“Lan Yanran did something wrong, why are we going to find him? Give Tingyun’s house a call and have them all come over to apologize to Yaxin.”

Zhao Xiumei spoke confidently.

She didn’t have a reason to find Lan Tingyun, that unfilial son. This would be a good excuse. It wouldn’t just dampen his spirits, it would also require compensation for psychological damage.

Xu Yanshan understood Old Mrs. Lan’s intentions and signalled for Lan Tingyi to hurry to the phone.

Lan Tingyi nodded and called Lan Tingyun.

“Lan Tingyun, you heartless thing! Do you think things will get better with your daughter? She is just a jinx and your useless son dares to bully my daughter? Mom said to come over and apologize to her immediately!”

Lan Tingyun looked at his son, who had his head lowered, but didn’t say anything.

Last time, Lan Anran beat his mother and he said those words to her. Back then, he was indeed angry. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it. After all, she was still his mother and he nodded in agreement.

Lan Anran was prepared as well. She didn’t know what tricks this old thing was up to, but she definitely wouldn’t agree to it.

Li Yueru was worried when she heard the news.

“Tingyun, I’m almost recovered. I’ll go with you, or else Mom will pick on me again.”

Lan Tingyun thought about it and nodded. He went to handle the discharge procedures for her. The family didn’t go home after being discharged and went directly to the Lan Family’s villa.

Zhao Xiumei had been waiting in the house for too long and cursed impatiently.

“That unfilial thing, I should have strangled him to death back then, so he wouldn’t have angered me now!”

“Mom, calm down. Today isn’t just about Yaxin, it’s also about our family’s livelihood. I’ve heard that recently, Tingyun has been extremely busy in the hospital because of a batch of medical equipment. The hospital is in urgent need of medical equipment and funds are tight. He is distressed because of money. If we can help, the hospital will be in your hands and you can do whatever you want.”

Xu Yanshan smiled. Know yourself and know your enemy, you will always win. She had long heard about the hospital and was waiting to use it to deal with Lan Tingyun.

“The heavens are on my side!”

Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed.

Just then, Lan Tingyun brought his family in with a bitter expression.

“Mom, we’re here.”

“Hmph! You still dare to come over? You must have been bewitched by a demon. If I hadn’t mentioned it, you would have forgotten!”

Zhao Xiumei spoke in a cryptic tone, her gaze drifting to Lan Anran.

“No Mom, I spoke a little harshly in a fit of anger last time, don’t take it to heart…”

Lan Tingyun spoke gently.

“Lan Tingyun, I’m your biological mother after all. I’ll accept whatever you do to me, but you can’t bully my granddaughter in such a manner. Yaxin is such a good child, but why must you make her the laughingstock of the entire school? Will you be proud if she is despised?”

Zhao Xiumei suppressed her anger and asked directly.
