“Mom, hurry and come in, look who’s here!”
Xu Yanshan pulled Zhao Xiumei into the house to have a look.
Tears streamed down Zhao Xiumei’s face. She trembled as she walked forward and stretched out her old hands.
“Son, where have you been the past few days? I haven’t heard from you at all.”
She and Lan Tingyi hugged each other and cried.
“Mom, I miss you and Yanshan so much. I don’t want to run, I don’t want to go to jail either.”
Lan Tingyi started to cry.
“Who asked you to be such a fool? Tingyun finally introduced you to a simple and relaxing job that has a high salary. Why didn’t you listen?”
Zhao Xiumei looked like she was complaining, but in reality, she was upset.
“I just want to go to another hospital to be a doctor, it’s all because of that brat Lan Anran!”
Lan Tingyi was furious at the mention of that brat.
“Alright, you don’t have to be so worried this time. That brat is dead, but it’s not our fault, she died because of her own hands.”
Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed, she wiped her tears and laughed heartily.
“Mom, are you serious? Is that brat really dead?”
Lan Tingyi didn’t dare to turn on his phone as he was afraid someone would track his location, so he didn’t go online much and didn’t notice any news of the Lan Family.
To him, this was undoubtedly great news and it meant that Old Wang’s extortion was over. Without Lan Anran, he would have lost his backing, so how could he extort him?
“This is great, it can relieve the hatred in my heart.”
Xu Yanshan thought about the days when Lan Anran bullied her and gritted her teeth in hatred. Now that the brat is dead, let’s see who dares to oppose her.
“Grandma! How did she die?”
Lan Yaxin pretended to be sad, tears welling in her eyes.
“She was kidnapped and killed. In the future, no one will be better than Yaxin. Our Yaxin is just too kind.”
Zhao Xiumei wiped Lan Yaxin’s tears and comforted her.
“Silly child, why are you still crying? We should be happy.”
Xu Yanshan smiled and immediately walked to the kitchen to open a bottle of 1982 Lafite to celebrate.
“In that case, Tingyi can hide for a while and we can see the light of day again. Our good days are coming.”
Xu Yanshan drank a mouthful of red wine, her face full of bliss.
Lan Tingyi wasn’t thinking about that. Now that the brat was gone, no one was stopping him from taking Lan Tingyun’s hospital. Although it is currently closed, it will get better after some time.
“Mom, Tingyun’s family must be very sad right now and they don’t have the heart to care about the hospital. After confirming that the brat is really dead, you can discuss it with Tingyun. Talk to him about me inheriting the hospital. I don’t think they have time to care about the hospital after something like this happened to their family.”
Zhao Xiumei thought for a moment. Looking at the situation in Tingyun’s house, it seemed that he really didn’t have the mood to care about the hospital anymore, but the hospital needed to have a licence to lift the ban. In other words, her eldest son had to go to jail then her second son could only open the hospital. That wouldn’t do.
“You’re being silly! Have you forgotten what sealed up Tingyun’s hospital? You have to tell the truth, this means that you’ll have to turn yourself in to the Public Security Bureau before the hospital can open. Do you still want to go to jail?”
Zhao Xiumei waved her hand, not agreeing with this idea.
“Mom! Have you forgotten that if this hospital is transferred to someone else, it can reopen? When the time comes, my wife can become the hospital director. Wouldn’t our family be able to live a good life?” Lan Tingyun smiled and said.
“This should work! Let’s do that. I’ll talk to Tingyun in a few days. Lan Anran can’t be revived and will have to be buried soon.”
Zhao Xiumei thought about it and agreed. It would be faster than waiting for it to be unsealed if the hospital were to be transferred to someone else. Besides, they were family, so what was there to disagree about?
“Speaking of which, Mo Jinrong is really pitiful. Even his sixth wife died. It seems that his reputation as a jinx is well-deserved.”
Xu Yanshan was happy at the thought and felt fortunate for her daughter. Fortunately, Yaxin wasn’t the one who was married back then, or else, Lan Yaxin would have died today.
“We have to find her dead or alive. We haven’t found her body yet, so we have to think of a way to make them acknowledge it.”
Lan Tingyun thought that this couldn’t go on any longer. As long as the body wasn’t found, his second brother wouldn’t agree to transfer the hospital to him. He had to find a way to make him accept the truth.
Xu Yanshan’s eyes rolled around and an idea immediately popped into her head.
“I have a good idea. What do you think?”
The few of them discussed and half an hour later, Zhao Xiumei and Lan Tingyi both raised their thumbs, complimenting Xu Yanshan’s quick thinking.
When Lan Yaxin arrived at the hospital, she made a big fuss about Lan Anran’s death and even posted a post to express her condolences.
“Dear Sis, have a safe journey.”
Many people didn’t believe it and sought confirmation from Lan Yaxin.
Lan Yaxin patiently explained Lan Anran’s death to them.
