Chapter 438: Luring Her Over

“Instead of marrying that fool, why don’t you follow me? If you’re willing to be my woman, I’m willing to give you a title. But you have to be clear about one thing: you are the young lady of the Tan Family, not my wife. I can’t have just one woman. You are in charge of making Old Master Tan happy and giving birth to a chubby boy for me.

The Tan Family and the Mo Family aren’t that far apart. After you marry me, you can still flaunt your abilities in front of Lan Anran and live better than her. No matter how good Mo Jinrong is, you might not be able to see or feel him. Even if you married into the family, he might not necessarily like you, so why suffer such grievances?”

Tan Shilin caressed her shoulders comfortingly.

Lan Yaxin flung his hand away and sobbed.

“You don’t understand, I just want to see her suffer more than me. I want her to suffer under my hands. I hope that you will remember your promise to me. It will be good for you and for me.”

She ran out in tears.

….

Lan Yaxin’s house.

“Yanshan, what you’re doing is inappropriate. No matter what, you have to get Yaxin to agree to it. What you’re doing will backfire. I know that child better than you. She is amenable to coaxing but not coercion!”

Zhao Xiumei was worried.

“I’m her mother, would I harm her? Back then, she despised Mo Jinrong, which was why she ended up like this. There is still some remedy, but she isn’t willing. Her brain is really damaged. If I had another option, or if I had another child, I wouldn’t be so worried.

The Zou Family called me and gave me an ultimatum. The marriage is about to be ruined, so how can we miss it? Yaxin made a mistake once, she can’t make another one. Tingyi is still waiting to rely on his daughter to make a windfall.”

Xu Yanshan was overjoyed as she sat on the sofa.

“How long has it been since you visited Tingyi? I think we should discuss this with him. After all, it’s his daughter’s husband, he definitely has to look over it first.”

Zhao Xiumei hadn’t seen her son in a long time and wanted to talk to him about her granddaughter’s marriage.

Xu Yanshan thought about it and agreed. Even if he is in prison, he had to know about his daughter’s marriage.

“Let’s visit Tingyi tomorrow.”

“Tingyi has been in prison for such a long time, the days must have passed by so quickly.”

Zhao Xiumei sighed.

“Mom! The weather is neither hot nor cold, why are you knitting a sweater?”

“Tingyi has been afraid of the cold since he was a child. Whenever the weather gets cooler, he will shiver from the cold. He is old and has arthritis. The weather is a little cold, so I’m knitting a sweater for him, so that he can wear it in the winter.”

Zhao Xiumei sighed as she knitted.

“Mom! How much pension do you have left? I mainly want to buy some things for Tingyi. There definitely isn’t anything good in prison, I need to bring some things over to nourish his health. He is too weak, I’m afraid he can’t stand that kind of life.”

Xu Yanshan really missed Lan Tingyi.

Zhao Xiumei put down the yarn in her hand, turned around, took out her bankbook, took out her reading glasses, and carefully counted the money in it.

“My pension is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan this month. In addition to the pension from Tingyun…”

Zhao Xiumei calculated carefully and her face gradually turned dark.

“This unfilial thing, the retirement money that he’s giving me is getting lesser and lesser. In the past, he could transfer at most hundreds of thousands, but now, he’s only transferring 1,000 yuan. He’s eating so many delicacies and yet, he’s making me eat only chaff and wild herbs? I’ve raised him in vain.”

Zhao Xiumei was furious when she thought of Lan Tingyun.

“Tingyun is too stingy. He has such a big hospital and yet, he only gave you 1,000 yuan. It wouldn’t make sense for anyone else either. Even if there are conflicts between the two of you, you are still his biological mother. Tingyun is too much.”

“But in my opinion, the reason why Tingyun couldn’t do such a thing is probably because of Lan Anran. That girl must have been behind it,” Xu Yanshan said furiously.

“I’ve resorted to both trickery and self-harm. That girl didn’t fall for it and even implicated Tingyi. If it weren’t for her, Yaxin wouldn’t have to marry a fool.”

Zhao Xiumei complained as resentment grew in her heart.

“Mom! In my opinion, why don’t we play a weak trick and lure Lan Anran back first before driving a wedge between Mo Jinrong and her? That way, there will be a barrier between the two of them and they would quarrel. Do you remember what we discussed last time?” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.

Zhao Xiumei suddenly remembered that the last time they were here, they were discussing how to deal with Lan Anran.

“You mean that matter?”

They both laughed, as if thinking of the same thing.

“But that girl is very shrewd. What if she doesn’t take the bait?”

Zhao Xiumei had experienced being taught a lesson the previous few times and was still a little scared at the thought of it.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Tell her that Li Yueru suddenly fell ill and she can come over to take a look. That b*tch is a filial child, she will definitely come,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.

“Since that’s the case, let’s follow the plan. You arrange it because otherwise I’ll panic if I see that b*tch.”

With the plan out of sight, out of mind, Zhao Xiumei lowered her head and started knitting again.

Lan Anran was preparing to go to the research institute.

She heard that the research institute was filled with top students, so she couldn’t embarrass herself there.

She was researching herbs when she received a call from Xu Yanshan.

Xu Yanshan’s tone was urgent.

“Anran, hurry and come over. Your mom suddenly fell ill.”

Lan Anran’s heart tightened and she asked calmly, “Why is my mom with you?”

“I arranged to meet your mother at home to discuss Yaxin’s matter. I just wanted her to talk to you and give our Yaxin some face. The discussion was going well but your mother suddenly fell ill. Hurry over!”

Xu Yanshan hung up anxiously.

Lan Anran called her mother skeptically.

But there was still no response from the other side of the phone, which made her suspicious. Regardless of the truth, she had to take a look.

Xu Yanshan got Zhao Xiumei to prepare the food and added some hallucinogens to the food, waiting for Lan Anran to come over.

Lan Anran hurried towards Xu Yanshan’s house.

She saw a sneaky man at the door, pacing back and forth, but he didn’t enter the house.

The man looked at her one more time before leaving.

Lan Anran was worried about her mother, so she didn’t think too much about it and directly knocked on Xu Yanshan’s door.

“Mom! I’m here!”

When Xu Yanshan heard that her target was here, she hurried over to open the door.

“You child, hurry and come in.”

After Lan Anran entered, she didn’t find her mother at all.

“Where’s my mom?”

She looked around.

“Anran, forgive me and Grandma, we lied to you. Your mom isn’t even here. We did this because we wanted you to have a meal with us to discuss Yaxin’s matter.”

Xu Yanshan locked the door secretly and smiled awkwardly.
