Chapter 104: Chance Encounter
Zhao Xiumei was embarrassed. This unfilial thing was forcing her to bow her head!
She took out her phone with a solemn expression and called. Lan Tingyun had just returned home and when he picked up the call, there was a sharp curse on the other end.
“Lan Tingyun! Do you still respect me as your mother? It’s one thing for you not to visit me when I’m sick, but now, you’ve frozen my card. Are you trying to starve me to death?”
“Mom, you forced me to do this first. You were the one who caused the incident, didn’t you? I didn’t announce it because you are my mom. I didn’t expect that after the incident passed, you weren’t concerned about your son, but about the money in the card. Did you pick me up instead of giving birth to me?
Mom, I’m so disappointed in you. I’ll freeze the card and I’ll give you your retirement money next month. However, it’s my business whether I give you more or less money, so don’t ask for more.”
Lan Tingyun hung up.
Zhao Xiumei didn’t manage to say anything before being hung up on. She was furious.
“This is outrageous! He froze his mother’s bank card and still dares to hang up!”
“Then these clothes…”
The sales assistant looked at the angry old lady fearfully, not daring to look up.
“Are you blind? You blind thing! Is Old Mrs. Lan someone who can’t afford it? Leave this dress for me, I’ll go home and get the money to buy it!”
Zhao Xiumei threw the bag of clothes far away angrily, smashing it on the ground and leaving in fury.
The little girl was aggrieved from being scolded for no reason. Xu Yanshan hurriedly comforted her.
“I’m sorry, Old Mrs. Lan is a little hot-tempered. It’s alright, don’t mind.”
The family hurried to chase after Old Mrs. Lan.
“Mom, where are we going now?” Xu Yanshan asked.
“Find that unfilial thing! He’ll either kill me or I’ll kill him!”
Zhao Xiumei’s loud voice attracted a lot of attention. Xu Yanshan really wanted to bury her head in the ground.
As she went downstairs, Zhao Xiumei saw a familiar figure. Aren’t they Lan Anran and Lan Yanran, the two bastards?
She stomped over angrily.
“You blind thing! Can’t you see your grandma?”
Lan Anran and Lan Yanran were shopping for shoes. They came straight to the shopping mall after leaving the hotel. In order to reward Lan Yanran for his excellent performance today, Lan Anran would definitely buy him the best shoes.
“Grandma…”
Lan Yanran was in a rush and was full of smiles. When he saw Zhao Xiumei, his face fell.
“You still know that I’m your grandma? Can’t you see me?” Zhao Xiumei questioned.
“Sorry, I really didn’t see you. Grandma is too small!”
Lan Anran didn’t care. She lowered her head and fiddled with putting the new shoes on her feet.
“You brat, it’s only been a few days since I beat you and you’re already making such accusations? Did you gossip in front of your parents? Did you let them hear that recording?” Zhao Xiumei continued to question.
“Why? Since you dare to do it, why shouldn’t I let them know?”
Lan Anran wore her shoes properly and when she stood up, she was half a head taller than Zhao Xiumei.
“You brat, I knew it was you. I’m going to beat you to death today! How could you gossip in front of your parents at such a young age? You’re such a gossip girl, you jinx! I’m going to beat you to death today. The Lan Family doesn’t have a granddaughter like you!”
Zhao Xiumei was furious. She raised her hand, wanting to hit her, but Lan Anran cleverly grabbed Zhao Xiumei’s hand and stopped it in midair.
“Grandma, don’t break your back when you’re old!”
Lan Anran suddenly let go and Zhao Xiumei took several steps back.
At this moment, the store was surrounded by people.
“Mom, there’s quite a lot of people here, you shouldn’t do this. You are a legend in the medical field, it wouldn’t be good if word spreads.” Xu Yanshan persuaded softly.
Zhao Xiumei calmed down and looked at the new shoes on Lan Anran and Lan Yanran’s feet, then at the price. The two pairs of shoes added up to more than 20,000 yuan, but she couldn’t even afford a piece of clothing that was 5,000 yuan. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
“You brat! Where did you get this money at such a young age?” Zhao Xiumei questioned.
“Grandma, have you forgotten how rich Sis is now? On the surface, she is the young lady of the Lan Family, but behind closed doors, she is the lover of a rich second-generation heir. How could she not have money?”
Lan Yaxin smiled.
“Ugly monster, don’t talk nonsense or I’ll rip your mouth apart!”
Lan Yanran stood up threateningly.
“I just heard the rumours, Sis, don’t blame me!”
Lan Yaxin said innocently.
The audience that didn’t know the truth ridiculed Lan Anran softly.
“You’re so young and yet you didn’t learn to be good. It’s so shameless to be someone else’s lover!”
“Yaxin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. You can’t afford to buy these things, so you slander me because of jealousy. After all, my father gave me more pocket money than you would get in a month. Some people even have the cheek to accuse my father,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Lan Yaxin was at a loss for words.
“B*stard! Does your father want to starve us to death after freezing my card? That unfilial thing!” Zhao Xiumei asked directly. To be honest, she was jealous of Lan Anran. The child’s shoes were her retirement money. It was infuriating!
“If you hadn’t been so harsh, my father wouldn’t have ended up like this. Grandma, go and reflect on yourself!”
Lan Anran threw down a card and wanted to pull Lan Yanran away.
Zhao Xiumei looked at the bank card and saw that it was a Paragon VIP card, the highest membership card. How could she have so much money at such a young age? There must be something wrong!
“Stop! You have no manners at all. Did I say you could leave? Where did you get this bank card? How did you get so much money?”
“I earned this money myself, it has nothing to do with you!” Lan Anran smiled and said.
