“I don’t think you should deal with that girl again. Getting Yaxin to marry honestly is better than anything.”
Zhao Xiumei was waiting for her granddaughter to lead a blessed life.
Lan Yaxin had just returned home and she looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
“Who are you to make decisions for me? I’m a person, not a tool for you to earn money. I won’t marry that fool.”
Xu Yanshan had just been scolded and now, her daughter had such an attitude towards her. She couldn’t tolerate it.
“You brat, do you think you can just say that you’re not going to marry? You have to marry him no matter what. This is not up to you.”
Lan Yaxin didn’t listen to her. She swung her arm and entered the house, closing the door behind her. She started to put away her things with all her might.
Zhao Xiumei could hear that something was wrong. This child has a big temper, perhaps she was really angry.
“Yaxin, open the door. It’s Grandma, let’s discuss this…”
Lan Yaxin didn’t speak to her, she was focused on packing her clothes and bag. She didn’t have time to fold them neatly, so she just stuffed everything into her suitcase.
She picked up another bag and placed her cosmetics and some important items inside.
She couldn’t stay here any longer, she had to leave.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Zhao Xiumei and her mother looking at her with wide eyes.
“You brat, you still want to run away from home? Where are you going with your luggage?”
Xu Yanshan snatched her luggage away.
“The person I’m going to marry isn’t him. Didn’t you agree to the marriage? Marry him then. Dad is in jail anyway, so you’ll feel empty and lonely. You should still be able to give birth at this age…”
Lan Yaxin’s words made Xu Yanshan so angry that her hand trembled. She couldn’t help but slap her.
“B*stard, who did you learn this from by fooling around outside everyday? How dare you speak to me like this. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Tomorrow, you will meet the Zou Family obediently and discuss the marriage. If you dare to cause any trouble, I will kill you.”
Xu Yanshan spoke harshly, with no trace of motherly affection in her eyes.
Lan Yaxin didn’t have any reaction, but her heart had turned cold. There wasn’t any warmth in the house, so she might as well leave early.
“Yanshan, don’t hit the child. We can talk this out.”
Zhao Xiumei was persuading when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Xu Yanshan walked over angrily and opened the door.
“Who is so blind as to not see me educating my child? Why are you knocking?”
The few policemen at the door were confused.
“Is this Zhao Xiumei’s house?”
Xu Yanshan fiddled with the lock and turned back to look at Zhao Xiumei. Old Mrs. Lan nodded.
“Yes, what’s going on?”
“Someone reported you to be involved in a crime. The victim is lying in the hospital. Her parents have reported you. Please follow me to the police station for investigation.”
The police showed them the arrest warrant.
Zhao Xiumei stuck her head out in confusion and started to panic when she saw the police cars parked outside.
“What happened?”
“Tingyun sued us. Mom, I don’t want to go to jail,” Xu Yanshan pulled Zhao Xiumei’s arm and said agitatedly.
Zhao Xiumei panicked. Was this unfilial thing going to send her to jail?
“Are you mistaken? We didn’t do such a thing, we are innocent.”
Zhao Xiumei continued to deny it.
“Then you’ll have to come back to the police station with us to make things clear. If you’re innocent, we naturally won’t forgive the person who started the rumors.”
The police pulled them into the police car.
“I’m not going, I didn’t do it. I didn’t do such a thing, I was wronged,” Xu Yanshan shouted.
“Yaxin, save me, save your mom!”
Lan Yaxin was a little confused. What was happening?
“No! Let go of me!”
Zhao Xiumei wanted to play dumb and stall so that she won’t go to the police station, but the police officers dragged her into the police car and took her away.
“Yaxin, find your Second Uncle and ask him to come to the police station to pick us up,” Xu Yanshan shouted as she patted the police car.
Lan Yaxin watched as her mother and grandmother were taken away by the police with mixed feelings. She gradually put down the suitcase in her hand and slumped on the sofa, but she felt slightly relieved.
She hadn’t felt such silence in a long time.
She took a break and called Lan Anran to ask what happened.
Lan Anran was in the hospital contemplating whether to call Mo Jinrong when Lan Yaxin called.
“Lan Anran, what are you trying to do? Why did you make your father call to arrest Mom and Grandma?”
Lan Yaxin’s tone was relaxed, but it was still questioning.
“Isn’t that what you want? You’re suppressed by your mom everyday and should be very relaxed now. Are you glad they’re finally gone? I’m actually helping you. Besides, your mom went overboard with me. Shouldn’t I send them in?”
Lan Anran spoke unhurriedly and without any particular impatience.
Lan Yaxin admitted that she felt slightly relieved, but it was too much for her to send her whole family to the police station.
“It’s not enough that you sent my father in, but you’re sending Grandma and Mom in as well. Doesn’t it mean that it’s my turn next?”
“If you want it to be, I don’t mind helping you.” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Lan Yaxin hung up without a thought and left to find Lan Tingyun.
….
Lan Anran didn’t call Mo Jinrong. It was Li Yueru who personally visited the Mo Corporation to let Mo Jinrong know that she was drugged.
“Jinrong, I didn’t mean anything by coming here today. Since Anran married you, you should be responsible for her happiness and concern. But when I saw her today, she wasn’t happy and didn’t even want to mention your name. I don’t know if the two of you fought. Ever since Anran was sent to the countryside, she lacked parental love or anyone else’s love for that matter. Since she is your wife, if you guys had a fight, you should give in to her.
I know you are busy with work and have a lot of things to worry about everyday. But Anran is not an idle person either, I hope you can empathize with her.”
Li Yueru sat on the sofa with her bag and spoke tactfully.
She saw that her daughter wasn’t happy, so she went to find Mo Jinrong to go and accompany her.
“Mom, we didn’t quarrel, I don’t know why she didn’t call me either. Don’t worry, I’ll visit her later. Have you caught the person who drugged her?”
When Mo Jinrong heard that Lan Anran didn’t look for him even when she was in danger, he could tell that she was angry at him.
But he didn’t know how he had offended her.
“Her father has called the police. It was her aunt and grandma who did it. Her father had thought thoroughly about this matter. After all, no one could bear to be the one to send their mother to prison.”
Li Yueru pitied her husband for having such a mother.
“It must have been difficult for Dad. Mom, don’t worry, I will take good care of Anran.”
Mo Jinrong promised.
