Chapter 13 Making Her Useless and Stupid

Over the years, Liu Shan had provided Lan Xiao with whatever she wanted. Whenever Lan Xiao made a mistake, Liu Shan would help her deal with it. She never said anything harsh to Lan Xiao, nor did she discipline her.

Because of this, many people thought that Liu Shan was a kind and tolerant stepmother, and they even praised her for her good heart. They said that Liu Shan treated Lan Xiao better than she treated her own daughter.

For this reason, Lan Shanhua was very grateful to Liu Shan for her tolerance and kindness towards Lan Xiao all these years.

With her good behavior, Liu Shan had won everyone’s favor and praise, and successfully become Lan Shanhua’s rightful wife.

But what about Lan Xiao? Thanks to Liu Shan, she had strayed even further from her original path.

Thinking of this, Lan Xiao gritted her teeth with hatred.

It seemed that Liu Shan was really proficient in acting. Even when she had died in her previous life, Lan Xiao hadn’t clearly seen Liu Shan’s true colors. She had always thought that Liu Shan really treated her as her own daughter.

It was not until now that she realized that Liu Shan was actually scheming against her.

She wanted to spoil her, making her useless and stupid.

What a vicious woman!

Lan Xiao felt disgusted just thinking about her.

She didn’t even want to look at the mother and daughter anymore. She walked down the stairs and came to Lan Shanhua’s side.

“Dad, I’ve made up my mind. From now on, I’m going to stay at the school dormitory. The college entrance examination will be held in a few months, so I have to put all my focus on studying. Although I live comfortably at home, it is a total waste of time for me to travel back and forth to school. I think it’s better to just stay there, so that I can have more time to study…”

The three people in the living room, as well as all the servants standing there, froze.

They were astounded to hear what Lan Xiao said.

It was surprising enough that Lan Xiao hadn’t slept in, and now, she was even saying that she wanted to stay at the school dormitory. Everyone knew that she was a picky girl. How could she bear the poor conditions of the dormitory?

Moreover, what shocked them the most was that the reason why she wanted to stay in the school dormitory was to study hard.

It sounded like a joke. After all, Lan Xiao had neglected her study for so many years, and she had always failed in every exam. Could she get into a key university after working hard for just a few months?

It was not even a joke. It was a daydream!

And that was not all… The V-neck lace dress Lan Xiao was wearing made her look amazing.

Her straight and fair legs were exposed from the knees down, and she was wearing a pair of white canvas shoes. Her long and slender arms were wrapped in the semitransparent lace sleeves, and her skin was as pale as white jade.

What was more, her long black hair was tied up and twisted into a bun, which was rarely seen.

Her thick bangs, which had covered her forehead for several years, were lifted back, revealing her smooth forehead. A few strands of stray hair fell down in curls next to her ears, framing her face and making her look more lovely.

The spoon in Lan Muya’s hand fell into her bowl with a click, and the porridge splashed all over her body. She was completely not aware of that.

Her jaw dropped, and she looked at Lan Xiao in a daze.

The girl in front of her was young and beautiful, fresh and lovely. Was this really Lan Xiao?

That stupid and outdated country bumpkin?

A trace of surprise flashed through Liu Shan’s eyes as well, but she was a lot more experienced in keeping her composure, so she reacted quicker than Lan Muya. She immediately stood up and walked up to Lan Xiao with a worried face. Then, she reached out and held Lan Xiao’s hand.

“Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong with you? Why do you want to stay at the school dormitory? Besides, why are you wearing a dress like this? This is not like you at all. Is it true that you were frightened last night, as Yucheng said? Did someone threaten you into acting in this abnormal way?”

“Of course not, Mom. I want to study hard. I want to look beautiful and enjoy a normal life. Is that really so abnormal in your eyes?” Lan Xiao asked in reply and blinked innocently, pouting.
