…

“Younger cousin sister.” An immature smile appeared on Lan Shaoyan’s face. “Welcome back. In the future, you are our Lan family’s member. Big brother will help you to beat up whoever who bullies you.”

“Then, thank you Second Older Cousin Brother.”

Bai Yan smiled. Not knowing why, when he saw that smile, Lan Shaoyan’s handsome face blushed as his expression was a little distressed.

“Hey.” Lan Xiaoyun walked over to stand before Bai Yan. Her chin raised lightly and compared to the Lan family brothers, her tone a little proud. “Are you the elder sister of Bai Zhi, that despicable person? Let me tell you, I have a grudge with that despicable person. In the future when we fight, you can’t help her.”

Although Lan Xiaoyun was a little proud, she did not look down on Bai Yan just because she had gotten pregnant before marriage. She merely hated Bai Zhi, that’s all.

“Why would I help her?” Bai Yan asked with the corner of her lips tugged downward.

This time, Lan Xiaoyun was stunned. “Aren’t you her elder sister?”

The other people did not know about the situation in the Bai family. If the Bai Yan-Bai Xiao sibling duo did not speak up, perhaps the world would have thought that everything was harmonious within the Bai family.

This was also the reason why Lan Xiaoyun had said those words.

Old Madam Lan slapped her thigh. “I almost forgot to tell you all about this matter…”

After she said those words, the old madam told them everything about how Bai Yan had suffered at the Bai family, including how Bai Ruo had caused Bai Yan to lose her virginity and also how she was almost sold off by Yu Rong.

When Lan Xiaoyun and the rest heard this, their eyes popped out of their heads and their mouths hung agape. None of them dare to believe that there was such a malicious woman on earth.

“Pitiful child.” Dong Ruolan wiped the corner of her eyes. “Why didn’t you tell us when you were being bullied at the Bai family? Xiao’er is also the same. How could both of you not actually mention a single word? We didn’t even know you two had actually suffered so much.”

Her voice carried blame within it, but heartache could be seen in her eyes. “You don’t have your biological mother to protect you. In the future, Aunt shall be your mother. You can continue to stay here in the Lan family residence with ease, you don’t have to worry about being sold off.”

A surge of warmth flowed in the depths of Bai Yan’s heart. The feeling of having relatives was really good.

The original proud looking Lan Xiaoyun regained her senses and a hint of guilt could be seen on her face. “I’m sorry. I did not know that you had suffered so much. Don’t worry. In the future, Bai Zhi will be our common enemy. We will definitely defeat her if we are allies.”

“The Bai family is too much!” Lan Shaoyan hated them as if they were his enemies. His clear gaze was full of fury. “Dominating possession of Aunty’s dowry and even say that younger cousin sister is eating and drinking in the Bai family for free! And even wanted to sell off younger cousin sister! Our Lan family cannot just let this matter be!”

Even Lan Shaoling, who was always calm and steady, was quiet for quite a while. “Mother, Grandmother, I agree with Second Younger Brother’s words. Younger Cousin Sister had suffered so much. If we don’t speak up on her behalf, who else will back her?”

“Alright, since all of you have decided so, then…”

The old madam had just about to bring the discussion to a close when Bai Yan’s voice rang out from beside her.

“Maternal Grandmother, I already have a plan for revenge. I can settle this matter on my own.”

Hearing this, the old madam sighed as she gently patted Bai Yan’s hand. “Since you have decided, then Maternal Grandmother will respect your wishes. If you have any needs, you must bring it up. We will help you till the end.”

Even if she had to fall out with the royal clan, she would not hesitate!

“Mother,” Dong Ruolan slowly got up and said with a smile. “The guests have more or less arrived. Let’s go out first.”

The old madam gently nodded as she stood up while tugging Bai Yan’s hand. “Little Yan’er, let’s go. Today, my Lan family wants to fight for your identity.”

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS

Gunky Gunky

When translating their relationships, I suddenly felt like it was a pain. Lol. In Chinese it is only two words, but when you translate to English it’s like four and they don’t even sound great. 🙁

Hope you guys are enjoying the book so far.
