Chapter 296: Urging For an Autograph?
“That’s right, the entertainment circle isn’t a place you can enter casually. You can’t just sing or dance, especially with regards to popularity, it will disappear as time passes. However, it’s unlike this for Yanran who has talent. Don’t you agree, Miss Liu?” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Liu Xixi was furious. It seemed that this woman wasn’t easy to deal with, but the silly Lan Yanran couldn’t tell. He smiled.
“Sis, how was it? Didn’t I say she was very gentle?”
Lan Anran smiled without a word. Her silly brother was too naive.
“Anran, she’s so pretty.”
Zhao Xiaolei spoke softly.
“Are you silly? How is she pretty? Can’t you tell?”
Sun Hui pulled her and signaled to her with a glance.
These words flowed into Liu Xixi’s ears and she smiled.
“Since you’re here, do you want an autograph?”
Sun Hui laughed out loud. She had to give someone her autograph. It was so degrading.
“Sorry, I was just thinking of a funny joke. I’m not mocking you, please sign this?”
Sun Hui smiled.
Liu Xixi couldn’t keep a straight face. They weren’t pretty, so why were they mocking her?
She braced herself and signed for them, as if she hadn’t chased them to let her have her autograph. It was embarrassing.
“Sorry, I haven’t finished my makeup. I’ll take my leave first, Miss Lan.”
Liu Xixi smiled, hatred filling her heart.
“Sure, Yanran, you should go home after the shoot.”
Lan Anran left the set after reminding him.
Lan Yaxin, who was outside, was a little angry. She had sent Lan Yanran a text, but hadn’t received a response. She had promised a few classmates that she would visit Lan Yanran, but now, she couldn’t even enter the production studio. It was embarrassing.
She didn’t have many friends to begin with. Now, she wanted to rely on Lan Yanran to get a few friends, but things were getting worse.
She looked at the forums. No one said she was pretty now.
“Damn it! Lan Yanran, just you wait!”
The class bell rang and Lan Anran returned to class.
Zhao Xiaolei had no idea what happened, but she was still very excited when she saw the signature in her hand.
This was the first time she had gotten an autograph from a celebrity, and two at that. She had the right to brag.
After school, the production crew had already left long ago. Because Lan Yanran still had work, he returned to the company.
….
At home.
Lan Yaxin was still troubled by Lan Yanran’s incident, so Zhao Xiumei asked, when she saw that her granddaughter was upset, “My dear granddaughter, what’s going on?”
“Grandma! Lan Yanran embarrassed me. I don’t have a single friend now.”
Lan Yaxin was upset.
“That rascal dares to do that? That’s outrageous! But it doesn’t matter, as long as you capture Mo Jinrong, what are you afraid of?”
Zhao Xiumei comforted her.
“Grandma, there’s no class in the afternoon, I want to go to the Mo Family to find Mo Jinrong.”
Lan Yaxin wiped her tears. She couldn’t wait to slap Lan Anran’s face.
Zhao Xiumei thought for a moment and agreed. This was a long-term dream.
“Sure! Go wash up and dress up now.”
Lan Anran, who was upstairs, heard everything clearly. This was the best she could do to snatch Mo Jinrong away.
However, it was probably a wasted effort!
She was about to close the door when she noticed something small flash.
Her instincts told her that it was a pinhole camera. Lan Anran pretended not to know and decided to ignore it. Zhao Xiumei, that old thing, couldn’t keep an eye on her anyways!
She moved the camera to Xu Yanshan’s room. The decoration was about the same anyway, so they wouldn’t notice it as long as it was kept hidden.
Later, Lan Yaxin changed into a pink dress, braided her hair, and put on light makeup. She did resemble Lan Anran a little.
“My daughter, you’re so beautiful!”
Xu Yanshan looked at her left and right, but couldn’t get enough.
“My granddaughter is so beautiful today, I don’t believe Mo Jinrong won’t be moved.”
Zhao Xiumei smiled, her eyes narrowed into a line as the few of them snuck out.
The Mo Family.
Old Mrs. Mo was listening to a show in the opera house. She was in a better mood than a few days ago, but she was still a little worried and the tune was a little sad.
“Old Mrs. Mo, Mr. Mo is already in such a state, it doesn’t matter how upset you are. Now that Young Master Jinrong has taken control of the company and the company is peaceful, you can relax.”
Nanny Wu persuaded.
“Sigh… You make it sound so simple. Of my two sons, one is dead and the other is in jail. My life has been miserable. I don’t know what sins I committed in my past life to deserve such retribution in this lifetime.”
Old Mrs. Mo was moved by the story.
She was the only old lady at the empty house. Everyone else has their grandchildren around, but she didn’t even have a dog. It was pitiful.
“Old Mrs. Mo, someone is here. There are several people from the Lan Family.”
The young housekeeper came in to report.
“The Lan Family? Are they in-laws? Last time they said they couldn’t come here, could they be Anran’s parents? Please let them come in, I was getting bored anyways.”
Old Mrs. Mo was overjoyed to see Lan Tingyun and his wife. They had never been here before, so she had to treat them well.
She got someone to prepare food and snacks, asking the young housekeeper to bring them to the opera house.
At the door, Zhao Xiumei looked at the large courtyard with joy in her eyes.
She thought Old Mrs. Mo let them in because she liked them.
“This courtyard is much better than the old mansion. In the future, Yaxin will be staying here. This is great!”
Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed.
She looked around, unable to conceal the joy in her heart.
“This villa is really pretty, but there are too few people… It should be quite scary at night, right?”
Xu Yanshan looked around.
“Mom, you can’t say such things later.”
Lan Yaxin reminded her.
“Got it, I’ll be depending on you later,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.
The three of them took a long time to reach the opera house. Old Mrs. Mo could see their appearance from afar.
“Why are they here?”
Old Mrs. Mo was old but she did have discerning eyes, so she was disgusted by their shifty looks. She didn’t expect Anran to come from such a family. These people looked like they came from a village, making her frustrated.
Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed, thinking that Old Mrs. Mo would come to pick her up.
“It seems like Old Mrs. Mo likes us a lot. Why didn’t we think so before?”
Zhao Xiumei spoke quietly.
Old Mrs. Mo’s expression changed instantly and she calmly drank her tea.
“Old Mrs. Mo, I am Anran’s grandma.”
Zhao Xiumei was the first to speak. She had seen Old Mrs. Mo before and could tell at a glance that she wasn’t easy to get along with. However, regardless of how difficult it was, she wanted to be in-laws with the family.
“I am Anran’s aunt.”
Xu Yanshan wanted to shake her hand as well, but her hand stopped in mid-air for a long time. Seeing that Old Mrs. Mo wasn’t giving her any face, she retracted it embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly
