Chapter 201: Hypocritical Reality
“Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Lan Anran suddenly rushed to Zhao Xiumei’s bedside and knelt while crying.
“Anran, Grandma is ill,” Li Yueru said.
“Grandma, what’s wrong with you?”
Lan Anran held her hand and cried.
She felt Zhao Xiumei’s pulse, which was strong and stronger than that of a young person in every aspect. She didn’t seem to be ill at all. It seemed like this was really a trick to gain sympathy. Since she was going to act, she would play with her.
“Anran, Grandma can’t make it anymore. You must live well with Yaxin from now on.”
Zhao Xiumei started to remind her. On the surface, she looked kind, but inside, she was disgusted. Seeing Lan Anran cry like this, she really thought she was going to die. What an unfilial thing!
She probably couldn’t wait to see her die, right?
“Grandma, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Yaxin.”
Lan Anran smiled while Lan Yaxin watched from the side, horrified. She didn’t know what evil was contained in that smile.
“Grandma, you’ll be alright, you’ll get better.”
Lan Yaxin pretended to cry as well.
“Oh right, Yanran doesn’t know yet. I’ll call Yanran over to send Grandma off as well as the members of the Lan Family to take one last look at Grandma.”
Lan Anran was about to make a phone call as she spoke, wanting to see how Zhao Xiumei would continue with her act.
“No, no, no, it’s alright. I want to die alone quietly. I know my body and I don’t like to be disturbed by too many people.”
Zhao Xiumei panicked. It seemed that this brat couldn’t wait for her to die.
“Alright, you’ll have to see your biological grandson one last time. He is the only descendant of the Lan Family.”
Lan Anran spoke sadly and called Lan Yanran decisively.
“Mom, you have to hold on!”
Li Yueru encouraged her.
Zhao Xiumei wanted to roll her eyes at her. This bunch of people really looked forward to her being dead. When it was over, she would teach these ingrates a lesson!
“What nonsense are you saying? The test results haven’t come out yet and you’re already cursing her?”
Lan Tingyi said dissatisfied.
At this moment, a nurse from the hospital came in to inform them.
“Old Mrs. Lan’s test results are out. Anyone of you can go get them and discuss the illness with the attending physician.”
“I’ll go.”
Lan Anran appeared very enthusiastic and walked out of the ward before Lan Tingyi could say anything.
She went to the counter to check the test results and looked at it seriously. There wasn’t any illness. This old lady was indeed pretending to be ill.
At this moment, she saw a medical case in the trash can beside her. It had the same name as Zhao Xiumei and was unfortunately diagnosed with lung cancer. This would give Lan Anran a chance.
She took the test results to the doctor, told him that her grandma was very healthy, showed the real test results to the doctor, and asked for the discharge procedures before the doctor agreed.
On the way back to the ward, she ran into Lan Tingyi. He was worried about Lan Anran and was afraid she was up to no good, so he wanted to stop her.
“Uncle.”
“Anran, what did your grandma’s doctor say?”
Lan Tingyi reached out to look at the medical records.
Lan Anran started to cry.
“Grandma… may not live much longer…”
Lan Tingyi turned pale with fright and looked at the test results in disbelief.
“Lung cancer!”
He was shocked. This was a trick to gain sympathy. How did she really get lung cancer?
The two of them returned to the ward in a daze. Zhao Xiumei was brainwashing Lan Tingyun and seeing that Lan Tingyun was about to sign the guarantee, Lan Anran suddenly broke down and cried.
“Grandma!”
This was interrupted by Lan Anran’s sobbing.
Lan Tingyun spoke solemnly.
“Anran, what’s wrong?”
“Dad, Grandma… Grandma… She… She has cancer!”
Lan Anran cried as she pounced on Zhao Xiumei.
“What?”
Zhao Xiumei was stunned and she glared at Lan Tingyi.
Lan Tingyi lowered his head, appearing very sad.
“Mom…”
He handed the test report to Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei was dumbfounded. How could she really have cancer…?
“This… Mom! Why don’t you go to my hospital to have a look? Is there a mistake?”
Lan Tingyun was in disbelief.
“No way, this hospital is mom’s workplace. Although she’s retired, she still has many old colleagues. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Lan Tingyi spoke.
It was precisely because Zhao Xiumei had retired from the hospital that they could come over without worry, prepared to be discharged after signing the guarantee. They didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
“The doctor said that Grandma is hopeless and wants us to go home. I have completed the discharge procedures. Grandma, let’s go home.”
Lan Anran buried her head in thought.
At this moment, Lan Yanran arrived late. When he saw the roomful of people crying, he didn’t understand what was happening.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Lan Yanran asked.
“Yanran, Grandma has cancer!”
Lan Anran cried, looking at him with reddened eyes.
Lan Yanran was a little shocked and cried loudly.
“Grandma!”
Seeing the people around her cry, Zhao Xiumei completely believed that she was about to die. She didn’t expect it to be true?
Suddenly, the door opened and the nurse saw a room full of people.
“What are you doing?”
Lan Anran held her breath, afraid that the nurse would say something.
