Chapter 374: She Wanted to Kill Someone?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsLan Tingyun watched his mother clamor at the side, his heart turning cold.
He knew that his mother didn’t love him, but he didn’t expect that he had no place in his mother’s heart at all.
“Mom! Did you really throw a birthday party when I was about to die?”
Lan Tingyun sat on the hospital bed with tears in his eyes. His sudden voice shocked Zhao Xiumei.
“Tingyun! You’re awake? My son, your life is so bitter. Your biological daughter bullied your mom while you were unconscious. Now that you’re awake, you have to discipline her.”
Now, Zhao Xiumei was putting on a pitiful appearance so that her son could pity her.
But what she didn’t know was that her son’s heart had turned cold.
“Tingyun, you’re awake?”
Xu Yanshan’s expression turned to one of shock and sadness.
“My dad just woke up, what are you doing here?”
Lan Anran didn’t look at them, she picked up the fruit knife by the side, picked up an apple, and gently peeled the apple skin.
“Lan Anran, don’t go overboard. We are your elders and you have been disrespectful and defamed me time and time again. We didn’t bicker with you, but today, you are too much. You didn’t just defame Yaxin, you also embarrassed your grandma in front of so many people.
Tingyun, actually, I shouldn’t tell you about this but I have to explain myself today. Your daughter was outrageous…”
Before Xu Yanshan could finish her sentence, Lan Tingyun spoke with a pained expression.
“No matter how outrageous my daughter is, she is still my daughter. Since when is it an outsider’s turn to gossip? I’m still sick, don’t disturb my rest. Get out!”
Lan Tingyun finally didn’t stand on ceremony with them, his words were harsh.
“Tingyun! I know you’re ill and I’m your mother. I don’t want to bicker with you, but is it right for you to speak to your sister-in-law like this? Is this what I taught you since you were a child? How could you have no manners”‘
Zhao Xiumei shielded Xu Yanshan as she cursed.
“Mom! In your eyes, she is your family while I am an outsider. Please take your beloved daughter-in-law and leave this place. I need to rest!”
Lan Tingyun didn’t want to look at his mother anymore.
Zhao Xiumei was flushed with anger, thinking about how filial her son usually was. He never complained, so how did it end up like this?
“Good, good! Let’s see how long you can protect this brat! If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m going to tear down this hospital!”
As Zhao Xiumei spoke, she sat down on the floor and crossed her legs like a little old lady from a village.
Lan Anran sat there silently, peeling the apple without raising her head to look at Zhao Xiumei.
“Grandma! Dad chased you away, so why are you still sitting here?” Lan Yanran mumbled.
He never dared to look Zhao Xiumei in the eye. Perhaps it was the trauma from a young age, but he had never looked directly at this fierce-looking grandma when he grew up.
“B*stard! I can’t deal with your dad, but can I not deal with you? Since when are you allowed to gossip here? Do you think you’re great after becoming a big star? But even if you are the Jade Emperor, you have to respect me!”
Xu Yanshan cursed.
She vented all her grievances on Lan Yanran as if warning Lan Tingyun that no matter what Old Mrs. Lan did, she was right and he should always be filial to his elders.
Lan Anran suddenly stopped and stared at Xu Yanshan with a terrifying gaze. An apple was successfully skinned and she handed it to Lan Yanran.
She didn’t put down the knife in her hand, but walked straight towards them with it.
“Anran…”
“Sis, put the knife down!”
Lan Yanran looked at Lan Anran nervously. She clenched the knife in her hand tightly, not having the slightest intention of putting it down.
‘You… What are you trying to do?”
Xu Yanshan swallowed nervously.
“You brat, what are you trying to do? Put the knife down. Let me tell you, there are people here and if you hurt me, you will go to jail!”
Zhao Xiumei watched Lan Anran walk towards her with a knife in hand. She was frightened and hurriedly sat up, shrinking into a corner.
“Anran! Put the knife down.’
Lan Tingyun spoke anxiously from behind her.
Li Yueru couldn’t bear to watch her daughter do such a thing. She was just about to step forward to stop Lan Anran when she smiled.
‘Grandma, what are you afraid of? I just wanted to peel an apple for you. Auntie, do you want some?”
Lan Anran pointed the tip of the knife at Xu Yanshan, her gaze extremely horrifying, as if she wanted to kill them.
Xu Yanshan hurriedly shook her head.
“Grandma, do you want some?”
Lan Anran turned around again with a sinister smile on her face.
Zhao Xiumei swallowed and shook her head hurriedly, horror written all over her face.
“Grandma, don’t be scared. This knife isn’t sharp at all, it can’t even swiftly peel an apple, let alone hurt someone. Who wants to try?”
Lan Anran held the knife and continued to gesture around Xu Yanshan. The blade was very sharp and against the light, one could almost see the reflected glint.
The two of them shook their heads immediately. Xu Yanshan was frightened and she glanced at Lan Tingyun, who was behind Lan Anran.
“Tingyun, hurry and persuade your daughter. Is she possessed? I don’t want to die…”
“She wouldn’t dare! I’m her grandma and you’re her aunt. Would she dare to kill someone here? If she dares…”
Zhao Xiumei mustered her courage, thinking that Lan Anran didn’t dare to kill her, so her voice trembled slightly. Lan Anran suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Xiumei.
“What if I dare? Grandma, do you want to try?”
Lan Anran held the knife and inched closer to Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei was so frightened that she knelt under the table, trembling and curled up. Lan Anran had never seen this old thing so scared.
“Anran, don’t”‘
Li Yueru shouted from behind, afraid that the tip of the knife would touch Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei closed her eyes in fear.
“Grandma, what are you afraid of? I just saw a thread on your clothes and wanted to help you remove it.”
Lan Anran saw the thread on Zhao Xiumei’s shoulder and she used a knife to cut it off.
Lan Tingyun sighed in relief. He knew his daughter wouldn’t do such a thing.
“Grandma! It’s getting late, I think it’s time for you to go back. If some people continue to gossip, the tongue would be cut instead of the thread!”
Lan Anran threatened.
Zhao Xiumei was frightened to death. She hurriedly stood up from under the table and ran out at double speed.
Xu Yanshan watched as Old Mrs. Lan left. It was dangerous for her to stay here alone.
“I… I’m leaving too!”
Xu Yanshan inched out slowly.
Li Yueru heaved a sigh of relief.
“Anran, your appearance was too scary, you scared me. I thought you were going to do something silly. You can’t scare people like this anymore. Your father just recovered from his illness.”.
