Chapter 108: They Don’t Have Good Days
After leaving the hospital, Lan Anran didn’t go home, she went straight to the law firm.
“Where is Old Tian?”
Lan Anran entered and asked. When the receptionist Qiu Shuang saw that it was Lan Anran, she ran over excitedly and smiled.
“Miss Lan, you’re here. Lawyer Tian is receiving guests upstairs and will be down soon.”
“Okay.”
Lan Anran sat obediently on the sofa while Qiu Shuang placed a cup of coffee in front of her.
“Sis, this is your favorite latte that consists of three pieces of sugar, milk, and ice.”
“Thank you.”
Lan Anran didn’t say much, her mind was full of thoughts about how to deal with Zhao Xiumei!
“Sis, is something the matter? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.” Qiu Shuang asked.
Lan Anran rarely came to look for Lawyer Tian. Usually, she would arrange some properties and ask him about international law. It seemed like there was a problem again.
“It’s nothing, I need to talk to Old Tian in private!”
Lan Anran spoke in a tight voice and her expression became solemn.
“Alright!”
Qiu Shuang glanced upstairs helplessly.
“Lawyer Tian, Miss Lan is here.”
A middle-aged man smiled, he was dressed in a suit and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hurriedly walked down and said, “What a rare visitor. Why are you here today?”
Lan Anran stood up and went upstairs, her voice icy cold.
“Let’s talk!”
Tian Yuan frowned. It was rare to see Lan Anran like this, so something big must have happened. He hurriedly followed her.
The two of them shut the door and chatted for more than an hour before the door finally opened again.
“Have you thought it through? I know about your family’s matters. Wouldn’t that old lady rip your tendons out if she found out?” Tian Yuan frowned as he said this.
“If she dares to provoke my family, I will make her suffer!”
Lan Anran’s eyes were firm.
Tian Yuan had known Lan Anran for a long time and she had saved his life before. Hence, he was considered an extra member of Lan Anran’s team, but he had never seen her so ruthless. It seemed that women really couldn’t be provoked.
The next day, Lan Anran and Lan Yanran came on time for school. They thought that the rumors spreading around the school would have dissipated after two days, but unexpectedly, everyone still looked at Lan Anran strangely.
The moment she arrived, Lan Anran was called to her office by Li Yue.
Lin Jiakang pointed at the principal’s nose angrily in the office.
“What kind of school is this? I sent my child here to let him study hard, but a girl almost smashed his manhood away. Our Lin Family still have to carry on the family line!”
“Lin Cheng’s father, this is Lan Anran.”
Li Yue made the introductions.
Lin Jiakang stopped his reprimand and eyed Lan Anran. This girl looked refined and elegant. How could she be so beautiful?
“You are Lin Cheng’s father? I don’t think I did anything wrong. It was your Lin Cheng who was rude to me. I was just defending myself.”
Lan Anran didn’t think she was in the wrong, and her tone was self-righteous.
Lan Yaxin walked over quietly from outside, wanting to see Lan Anran make a fool of herself. This kind of thing wouldn’t go unnoticed by her.
“Self-defense? I haven’t come to find you these past few days because I wanted to give you a chance to apologize after Lin Cheng got better, but you haven’t been over once. This matter must be dealt with seriously! You can either expel her or I’ll sue the school!”
Lin Jiakang was furious.
The principal was a skinny old man in his 50s who wore glasses. He was having a difficult time reasoning with Lin Jiakang.
Lin Jiakang donated a lot of money to the school every year. If he couldn’t keep this wealthy person, the school would be short of money. But Lan Anran is participating in the competition to bring honor to the school. If he were to expel her, it would be a waste of a good seedling. He still has to rely on her to earn the reputation for the school’s name.
“Lin Cheng’s father, calm down first. Anran is a good child. Lin Cheng was indeed in the wrong, but Anran was also too harsh. Why don’t the two families reconcile and resolve this in private? This matter is spreading like wildfire in school and it wouldn’t be good for Lin Cheng.”
Li Yue was very reasonable. Both sides were at fault.
“Yes, yes, yes! Parents, I want an explanation from her parents!”
Lin Jiakang thought that it was a good idea and it was useless to force the school.
“Uncle Lin, are you sure you want me to call my parents?” Lan Anran asked expressionlessly with a hint of a threat in her gaze.
“Yes! Parents have to be called. Parents must have failed to teach such a naughty child. I’m going to make your parents apologize to my son!” Lin Jiakang hesitated a little at her gaze but still pressed forward.
“Alright, wait a while.” Lan Anran spoke easily.
“This matter is resolved temporarily. Lin Cheng’s father, you can go back first.”
The principal smiled.
Lin Jiakang’s anger dissipated a little. He glanced at Lan Anran and turned to leave.
“Anran, don’t take this to heart. It’s your turn soon for the interview, are you ready?” Li Yue comforted her.
“Teacher, I’m ready, don’t worry,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Lan Yaxin, who was outside the door, pouted, thinking that Lan Anran was indulging in a fantasy. She would only admit defeat when she was beaten to a pulp!
When Lan Anran came out of the office, she saw Lan Yaxin sneaking back to the classroom, but she didn’t care whether she heard or not. She was going to be in trouble with Zhao Xiumei soon!
In a blink of an eye, it was the top four competition. Zhao Xiaolei was deliberately absent and was eliminated. Lan Yaxin hadn’t slept for two days and two nights because of the top four competition and Yang Qing knew she wouldn’t be able to win the competition, so she focused on how to deal with Lan Anran.
