President Wife is Pretty and Cool

Seeing his mother gasping for breath, Lan Tingyun was afraid it might turn serious and wanted to persuade Lan Anran to hold her tongue.

Of course, Lan Anran knew of her father's thoughts. Her father was a filial son, he would feel heartbroken if Zhao Xiumei was even the slightest bit upset.

"It's all my fault. Grandma looks down on people from the countryside, we embarrass her. I have been living in the countryside since I was a child and don't know about manners which caused me to accidentally offend Grandmother… Dad, you can hit or scold me, it's all my fault! "

Lan Anran used Lan Yaxin's trick. As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease: those who complain the loudest get the most attention.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lan Tingyun couldn't bear to say anything, he could only stand in silence.

"Mom! It's not like that, Anran didn't mean that," Li Yueru stood up and explained.

"She didn't mean it? Her wild manners were developed from twenty years in the countryside. She hasn't been taught well!" Zhao Xiumei scolded angrily.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Lan Anran wiped her tears as she turned to leave.

Lan Tingyun grabbed his daughter, seeing that his mother was deliberately picking on her. They hadn't seen each other for twenty years, and didn't have feelings for each other. She had made a few jokes, but his mother made a big fuss, making things difficult for his daughter.

She also looked down on his daughter and called her a country girl. This was indeed his mother's mistake.

"It's alright, Grandmother definitely likes you, but she is angry now and her words are harsh."

Lan Tingyun pulled Lan Anran and hugged her. He was heartbroken as he patted her back comfortingly.

Lan Anran nodded, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Xiumei was pale with anger and Xu Yanshan kindly soothed her from the side. Just then, she saw Lan Anran smile at her evilly. Enraged, she grabbed a cup by her side and smashed it at Lan Anran.

"Dad, be careful!"

Lan Anran swiftly dodged to the side and the cup smashed into a pillar beside her, breaking into pieces.

Lan Tingyun looked at his mother in shock.

"Mom, how could you do that?"

"Why can't I? I'm going to kill this unfilial thing today. Look at this daughter you've raised. She just returned and yet, she dares to confront me? If your father were still alive, he would have never forgiven her. You are just bullying a widowed old woman… Bullying me because I don't have a husband. Did you think it was easy raising you? How could you treat me like this?"

Zhao Xiumei choked as she spoke.

Lan Tingyun saw his mother crying and his heart softened again. He remembered how difficult it was for his mother to bring him up and he lowered his head in silence.

Lan Anran couldn't help but pout when she saw Zhao Xiumei. She thought about how her father trusted and cared for the old lady in her past life.

Old Mrs. Lan only loved her eldest son and in the end, she forced her younger son to jump off a building while enjoying everything he had.

The thought made her hatred grow. If her parents weren't here today, she would have dealt with this old lady.

"Dad, Mom, I think we should leave today, this is not going anywhere."

Lan Tingyun pulled Lan Anran and turned to leave. Just then, Xu Yanshan suddenly spoke, "Brother, Sister-In-Law, the Old Mrs. Lan is a little hot-tempered today, you should sit down first."

Xu Yanshan turned around and whispered to Zhao Xiumei, "Mom, don't be angry, it'll hurt your health. Have you forgotten the reason they are here? We haven't gotten matters settled yet. How can we let them go?"

Xu Yanshan's words reminded Zhao Xiumei that she had called her second child's family over to discuss the marriage. She was so angry at the insolent girl that she almost forgot.

Zhao Xiumei turned around, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a cold voice, "Since you're already here, have a meal before leaving."

Zhao Xiumei led the family to the dining table. Everyone focused on their own food and it was unusually quiet.

Zhao Xiumei took advantage of the meal to bring up the matter, so as to dampen Anran's arrogance.

"Yaxin, you must get into the Rong City Medical Research Institute this year. The Lan Family has to produce at least one outstanding talent. Everyone wants to enter the Rong City Medical Research Institute, so you'll have to work hard and not let someone else steal your limelight."

Everyone present knew that Lan Anran is the 'someone else' she was referring to.

Lan Tingyun's family naturally knew as well, but they didn't say anything.

Lan Yaxin nodded confidently, her gaze turning towards Lan Anran.

"Don't worry, Grandma, I definitely will do so."

"Our Yaxin is the best. The Lan Family is a medical family and amongst the younger generation, there isn't anyone who can surpass our Yaxin. Yaxin's theoretical knowledge is excellent and her medical attainments are very high. This is unlike a certain someone who boasted shamefully that she would succeed even though she doesn't know anything. It's such a joke. Yaxin, don't learn from those people. They don't have the ability, but yet they manage to have such self-confidence. She will just be an embarrassment to the Lan Family."

Xu Yanshan spoke in a cryptic tone, not naming anyone.
