The jade bracelet was the most valuable dowry.
“Yanran is right, this is a treasure, I can’t give it to you.”
Lan Anran looked at Lan Yaxin with a smile and continued to caress the bracelet, provoking her.
What’s so great about a piece of broken glass given by an ugly monster? She’s acting as though I have never seen one before.
County bumpkins are so ignorant…
A trace of jealousy flashed in Lan Yaxin’s eyes; she had never worn such a valuable item.
The brat sure is something!
The more she looked, the angrier she got.
She came over to gloat but unexpectedly, had given Anran a chance to flaunt her gifts. Lan Yaxin was furious.
She reluctantly smiled and said, “I’m glad Mo Jinrong treats you well. I’ll definitely share this news with Grandma, she will be delighted. Sis, Second Uncle, I’m leaving.”
Lan Tingyun nodded. He was extremely frustrated and couldn’t wait for her to leave.
Lan Yaxin didn’t stay any longer, turning to leave angrily.
“Sis, Mo Jinrong is hideous, have you thought this through?” Lan Yanran asked with a worried expression.
“Anran, I let you down, I’m not a good mother…”
Li Yueru choked as she walked over to hold Lan Anran’s hand.
“It’s alright Mom, I’m willing and Mo Jinrong is alright. You don’t have to be so worried.”
Lan Anran wanted to chuckle. Mo Jinrong’s image was ruined by Mo San. She would definitely tease Mo Jinrong the next time she saw him.
The Lan Family Villa…
After Lan Yaxin returned, she spun an exaggerated story to Zhao Xiumei. Zhao Xiumei was furious.
“Lan Anran, that insolent girl is indeed from the countryside. She doesn’t have any manners at all! If she wasn’t able to replace you in marrying Mo Jinrong, I would have chased her out of the Lan Family.”
“Grandma, don’t be angry. Sis is just a little blunt after being in the countryside for such a long time, don’t mind her. I’ll be upset if you jeopardize your health because of her.”
Lan Yaxin was great with her words and these few sentences were enough to delight Zhao Xiumei.
“You’re such a sweet talker! I would be satisfied if that girl was half as good as you. The mention of Lan Anran infuriates me. She was given so many valuable gifts and yet, she didn’t send anything over. She was raised to such an old age and yet, she hasn’t sent me anything. What an unfilial girl!” Zhao Xiumei scolded.
“Grandma, I wanted to pick a few pieces for you, but she said that you have tons of good stuff here, so you wouldn’t need any of her things. She also said that you would be able to live longer without those items.”
Lan Yaxin’s voice grew smaller and smaller as she secretly watched Zhao Xiumei’s reaction.
“Outrageous! She dared to curse me? She has no manners! I must teach that brat a good lesson!”
Zhao Xiumei was furious. She slammed down on the table, shocking Lan Yaxin.
“Grandma, you’re not well, don’t be angry. She might have misunderstood my intentions. It’s my fault. She just came back and probably didn’t understand.
Grandma, Rong City’s Annual Pharmacy Competition is in a few days. The champion of the competition will be awarded prize money and a bonus of twenty points. Wouldn’t that make it easier for me to enter the Rong City Medical Research Institute? Grandma, you’re a herb expert, please give me a little of your superb skills so that I can win the competition. I won’t just bring you glory. Wouldn’t you like a mink coat? Why don’t I buy it for you with the prize money?”
Lan Yaxin coquettishly begged.
“You witty little imp! Sure, I will pass on to you my lifelong skills. You must beat Lan Anran and help me vent my frustrations!”
Zhao Xiumei happily stroked the bridge of Lan Yaxin’s nose and smiled.
“Don’t worry, Grandma, I will definitely surpass her and win you honor.. Who could win against an expert like you?” Lan Yaxin smiled.
