“Lan Tingyun, are you still my son? How is the Mo Family a bad option? After Anran is married, she won’t have to worry about food or clothing and she will enjoy her life. How did I become the villain? If Yaxin wasn’t so young, she wouldn’t be getting such a good deal. Don’t you know how to be grateful? You ingrates, let me make this clear, she will have to get married even if she is unwilling!”
Zhao Xiumei’s tough tone disappointed Lan Tingyun. He thought that no matter how bad he was, he was still her biological son and even if she treated him badly, she would still love his children.
He didn’t expect her to throw his daughter into a fiery pit on their first meeting. He couldn’t accept it.
Lan Yaxin watched from the side happily as a fight threatened to erupt.
She hurried up and said, “It’s all my fault. This was originally for me, if it wasn’t for my young age, we wouldn’t have to trouble you both…”
She lowered her head as if she did something wrong and even shed some tears.
Zhao Xiumei looked distressed, she hurriedly pulled her into her arms and wiped her tears.
“Good girl, how can I blame you? Don’t cry, you are the best child in the Lan Family. The Lan Family will have to depend on you to bring us glory, you are our only hope. Your sister doesn’t have anything to do and if she gets married early, it will save her from embarrassing us.”
“Mom, you are wrong. Anran is also still a child and she didn’t do anything wrong. How could she shame the Lan Family? She is your biological granddaughter, how could you treat her like this?”
Lan Tingyun finally said his innermost thoughts. Over the years, he knew that his mother loved his older brother. She would often neglect his feelings and by extension, didn’t like his children as well. But he could endure it.
Now, his mother was being too much,and he couldn’t help but speak up.
“Are you going to rebel? Lan Tingyun, am I treating you poorly? I’m sending Anran to a good place, she should be grateful. If she gains anything, she might be able to help the Lan Family. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Zhao Xiumei only had money in mind and the Mo Family was a prestigious family. They were loaded and if Lan Anran married into the family, she could benefit, which would be a great thing.
“Mom, why do you only think about money? The Mo Family is from hell, how could you…”
Lan Tingyun wanted to have a good talk with his mother, but was stopped by Lan Anran.
She hadn’t spoken just now because she was too lazy to say another word to Zhao Xiumei, but now, she couldn’t just stay silent.
“Grandma, Dad, Mom, stop fighting. I’m willing to marry into the Mo Family.”
Lan Anran spoke calmly, there was even a slight smile on her face. She didn’t seem unwilling at all.
“Anran, don’t be scared, your grandma can’t force you…”
Lan Tingyun looked at his daughter, thinking she was coerced into agreeing and immediately felt his heartache.
“When did I force her? You heard it, Anran is willing. Anran, you are my good granddaughter.”
Zhao Xiumei’s smile brightened.
Lan Yaxin was a little surprised. She thought that Lan Anran didn’t understand and pretended to be very sad.
“Sis, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have to marry Mo Jinrong, that beast.”
Lan Anran was too lazy to deal with Lan Yaxin, she just wanted to finish the meal and hurry home.
“It’s alright.”
She was still as calm as ever, saying that she was going to marry Mo Jinrong voluntarily. The regret from her past life would probably be compensated in this lifetime.
Lan Anran’s reaction made her a little surprised.
Looking at the expressions around the table, Lan Yaxin had a vague understanding.
Lan Anran was forced. Even if she was bold, would she dare to go against Grandma’s words?
It seemed that Grandma was Lan Anran’s nemesis.
Lan Yaxin was overjoyed. She looked at Xu Yanshan and they smiled, eating triumphantly.
Lan Tingyun had more to say, but Lan Anran held the back of his hand and signalled for him to talk at home. He then swallowed his grievances.
The table calmed down again, everyone immersed in their own thoughts. Lan Tingyun and Li Yueru didn’t eat much as they were thinking about Lan Anran.
After the meal, the family left and after they were gone, the house burst into laughter.
...
Back in the Lan Family Villa.
Lan Anran saw Lan Tingyun’s expression and said, “Dad, it’s settled, you don’t have to brood over it.”
Lan Anran spoke sensibly.
Lan Tingyun already felt like he owed his daughter a lot. The marriage to Mo Jinrong was meant for Lan Yaxin, but she wasn’t willing and it fell on his daughter.
He was at a loss. Mo Jinrong was said to be a man-eating monster with a moody temperament.
His daughter hadn’t had parental love since she was a child and would definitely suffer there.
In Rong City, everyone knew about the marriage between the Lan Family and the Mo Family, so it wasn’t a promise that could be violated.
“Anran, you can’t marry Mo Jinrong, he is a cannibalistic monster. I let you down. I know that you are sensible and well-behaved and don’t want to make things difficult for me, but I can’t push you into this fiery pit. Don’t marry because of me and your mother, we will help you.”
Lan Anran was a sensible child and Lan Tingyun feared that she had agreed to the marriage so that things wouldn’t be difficult for him and hence, he felt extremely guilty.
