“Yaxin, don’t blame him, he’s just a child. It’s good that you are here, I forgot to give Grandma the things that the Mo Family sent last time. Here is some ginseng and a bird’s nest, you can bring them to Grandma.”

Li Yueru gave two boxes of valuable items to Lan Yaxin.

“It’s okay, Second Aunt, Grandma will definitely be happy.”

Lan Yaxin received it with a smile.

“Mom, I’m tired, I’ll go back and rest first.”

Lan Anran smiled.

Li Yueru nodded.

Lan Yaxin carried the items towards Lan Anran and said softly, “Sis, believe me, I won’t say anything. Think about the experimental class… If someone exposed this, you wouldn’t be able to stay any longer, so it’s better if you just leave now. I’m thinking for your sake, or else, Grandma will scold you if she finds out.”

It seemed like she was protecting Lan Anran, but in reality, she meant that she would tell Grandma if Anran tried to remain in the experimental class.

“You’re threatening me? It’s alright, do as you please,” Lan Anran said calmly, her lips lifting slightly.

Lan Yaxin was furious and she struggled to maintain a smile.

“Second Aunt, I’m going back. Bye.”

She turned and the smile was gone, leaving an icy cold expression.

Lan Anran returned to her room and took out her computer. She returned the Liu Fmily’s funds and turned to the black market to look for news of fennel.

…

The Lan Family Villa.

“Grandma, I’m here. These are the gifts from Second Aunt. She said they couldn’t finish eating the dowry from the Mo Family and tasked me with bringing some back for you,” Lan Yaxin said happily.

“That unfilial thing! Who does she think this is, sending trash to me that she can’t finish? She has no manners. How did I accept such a daughter-in-law!?”

Zhao Xiumei took it over and looked at it, her eyes full of disgust.

Lan Yaxin put the things on the ground and walked over to massage Zhao Xiumei’s shoulders. She spoke in a flattering voice, “Grandma, don’t be angry. It wouldn’t be good for your health to suffer. These are good things: the Mo Family wouldn’t have sent any junk.”

“The Mo Family would only send good gifts? I have plenty of these things. Tell me, how was Yanran’s incident resolved? Did he apologize?”

Zhao Xiumei didn’t need to think, she knew the type of people in the Liu Family, and her soft-hearted second son would definitely bow down and apologise. They were a whole family of embarrassments!

“It seemed to have resolved peacefully. I heard they were even given a big envelope.”

Lan Yaxin didn’t explain the entire story, causing Zhao Xiumei to misunderstand.

She figured they apologized and even gave them money, those useless people!

“That useless family, how did I give birth to such a pitiful thing!”

Zhao Xiumei had a regretful expression.

“Grandma, let me say something, but don’t be angry.”

Lan Yaxin pressed against Zhao Xiumei’s face.

“Tell me. Why would Grandma be angry at you?”

“Mom and Dad are busy everyday, only you treat me the best. I know that the Lan Family’s name is extremely important and I have always wanted to bring us honor, but today, I was really furious,” Lan Yaxin said softly.

“What is it? Who made you angry? Tell me and I’ll stand up for you.”

Zhao Xiumei grew upset.

“It’s Anran. I saw Mo Jinrong at our school today and after he left, she started to hook up with the Mo Family’s butler. They were touching each other and she said that she really liked him. I have always been fighting for the Lan Family’s honor, but she didn’t care about the family at all. There were so many people in school, but she was behaving intimately with the butler… I couldn’t bear to watch.”

Lan Yaxin lowered her head like a kid who did something wrong, pretending to feel shame for the Lan Family.

“What? That brat did something so shameful? Atrocious! What a sin! Isn’t she shaming the family’s name? I will be humiliated if word spreads to the Mo Family.”

Zhao Xiumei decided to visit Lan Tingyun’s house to talk about it.

“Grandma, you said you wouldn’t be angry. I am not complaining, I promised her I wouldn’t say anything, she didn’t mean it after all. I have also seen Mo Jinrong, he is extremely ugly while his butler is very handsome. Sis must have been confused, don’t blame her… If you go, she will definitely know that I said something and I’ll be in trouble. She will definitely blame me for it,” Lan Yaxin said with a horrified expression.

“She wouldn’t dare! I’m her elder, if I say she’s wrong, does she dare to not admit it? Don’t worry, Grandma knows that you are doing this for the Lan Family’s sake. It’s not a complaint, you are a good girl. I’m going to teach that insolent girl a lesson!” Zhao Xiumei slammed the table and said angrily.

“Grandma, it’s too late now, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Hurry and teach me how to make medicine so that I can bring us honor during the Pharmacy Competition. I will not bring shame to the Lan Family,” Lan Yaxin promised solemnly.

“What a sensible child. Come, Grandma has a lot of unique skills that you can use.”

Zhao Xiumei caressed her head, brought her to the study room, and took out a tattered notebook.
