When Lan Lin was captured, Lan Chen and his wife froze as if they were struck by lightning.
Lan Yanxi didn"t want to stay here for a moment longer. She turned around and walked out. Cheng Yuan and Chu Lie also left with her. Third Madam Lan covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
"How can this be? How could Xiao Lin harm her grandfather? This child has always been introverted since she was young. I always thought that she was a coward, so why did such a thing happen? "
Lan Chen"s eyes also reddened, but he knew that his daughter"s heart was always heavy. Since she was young, she never communicated with the adults, liked to hide things deep in her heart, and was bullied when reading books. If it wasn"t for her finding injuries in the shower, she probably wouldn"t have said anything.
"It was our fault. We ignored her." Lan Chen seemed to have found the reason, but it was too late for regret.
Madam Lan San immediately raised her swollen eyes and looked at her husband. Lan Chen painfully covered his face, and said with a choked voice: "What sin did our Lan Family create? Why do everyone"s personalities seem to be distorted? Could it be that the heavens are really going to destroy our Lan Family?"
"Even if it"s retribution, it shouldn"t only be for us and second brother. We didn"t do anything that would harm the heavens and the earth. Why is it that Lan Yanxi is the only one getting happiness? Isn"t she surnamed Lan?" Third Madam Lan said hatefully.
Hearing his wife"s words, Lan Chen"s body stiffened and his face turned pale.
The reason why he was able to have a foothold in the company all these years was because of the evidence in his hands. Although Second Brother didn"t ask for any details, it was as if the two brothers had come to a tacit agreement, and as long as the request wasn"t too excessive, Lan Bai would basically agree to it.
"My fault, my fault." Lan Chen held his head in pain. At this moment, he deeply felt that it was too late even if he wanted to say something now.
Lan Yanxi walked out and saw that Lan Lin"s car had yet to leave. She couldn"t hold back her anger any longer and walked towards it with large strides.
Lan Lin"s expression was stiff as she looked straight ahead with a wooden expression. She just didn"t want to look at her.
"Lan Yanxi, do you want to kill me? Attack, I have no way of resisting right now, if you want to take revenge for grandfather, you can do it. " Lan Lin raised her chin arrogantly. Even if she was caught now, she didn"t want to show any inferior att.i.tude in front of Lan Yanxi.
However, she suppressed her anger and said in a very calm voice, "I didn"t expect you to admit your crime so readily. I thought you would continue to quibble with me, if you don"t feel guilty, you will definitely find out that it wasn"t written by me, but by me. Do you want to see what I wrote?"
Lan Lin"s heart felt like someone had stabbed her with a knife. She turned and stared at Lan Yanxi with hatred as she gritted her teeth. "You treacherous woman, how dare you lie to me?"
"If you weren"t guilty, would you be afraid of being cheated by me? Lan Lin, you really deserve to die. You should also see what Grandfather wrote. " Lan Yanxi took out her grandfather"s words from her bag.
Lan Lin did not dare to take it, but Lan Yanxi threw it in. "Take a good look and see how you repay your grandpa"s love."
Lan Lin"s gaze couldn"t help but look down. Even though it wasn"t bright, she could clearly read the words written on it. Her heart clenched. She didn"t cry the whole way here, but now, her tears fell like rain.
Lan Yanxi didn"t want to see the tears of remorse and remorse, so she turned and left.
Lan Lin cried very loudly, her heart tearing and her lungs splitting apart.
Lan Yanxi walked out of the courtyard with a tired body and returned home. Originally, she was going to move to the presidential palace today, but when Ling Mofeng saw this situation, he really couldn"t bear to let her go to a strange environment and delayed it for a few more days.
The aftermath for Old Master Lan was already decided, Lan Bai had personally gone to the hospital to take care of it. As a son, although he said that he would never care about his father"s life, once he truly left, he still wanted to show his filial piety.
Although Lan Yanxi really wanted to do it herself, she felt that she couldn"t. As a granddaughter, she couldn"t overstep her authority to replace her two uncles" filial piety.
Lan Yanxi had received calls from Old Master Lan and the Ling Family parents to console her. She had already accepted this fact, but when she thought about how she would feel without her grandfather to guide her in the future, she became uneasy. However, she also realized that she had to learn to grow up.
Lan Yanxi stood up and saw the door open. Ling Mofeng walked in with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Seeing her standing next to the sofa, his handsome face was a little stu
ed. Then, a hint of shyness flashed across his face.
"I thought you were upstairs." Ling Mofeng couldn"t help but ask with a smile. She probably saw his anxious appearance when he entered the room.
Lan Yanxi also felt a bit embarra.s.sed. She lowered her head and whispered, "You just called and said you were coming back. I"ll go downstairs to wait for you."
Ling Mofeng Xin"s long body had already walked in front of her. He handed her a bunch of fresh flowers and said, "This is for you. I hope you like it."
Lan Yanxi was a bit surprised and also pleasantly surprised. She didn"t expect Ling Mofeng to give her such a romantic bouquet as he was, after all, a mature man who worked so hard every day, not a man who carved romance into his bones. She didn"t expect him to give her flowers.
"Of course I do. I like all the things you send me." Lan Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled.
"It"s good that you like it. I"ll find you a gla.s.s bottle and you can raise it." Ling Mofeng was embarra.s.sed. This bunch of flowers was specially chosen by him on his way back. He found a bodyguard to pick them instead of just a bunch of roses, mixed with some other flowers.
Lan Yanxi looked at the man in a suit looking for an empty bottle. She was slightly stu
ed, but soon she felt the warmth of spring. Just like the bunch of flowers in her arms, it would bloom in the most beautiful season, waiting for someone to pick it and give it to her.
Ling Mofeng was a bit upset because he couldn"t seem to find a suitable vase. The things he had here were all old things that didn"t match this bunch of flowers at all.
Seeing him standing there, Lan Yanxi seemed to be a bit worried. She immediately walked over and whispered, "I"ll take a small barrel and keep it."
When Ling Mofeng heard this, a smile flashed across his handsome face: "Alright, the things here are too antique."
Lan Yanxi turned around and walked upstairs with Ling Mofeng following behind her. Her eyes carefully observed her expression and found that her eyes were no longer red and swollen. He heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that she would continue to cry.
Ling Mofeng had never been this careful before. It was as if she was a fragile doll and he had to be careful to protect her at all times.
Lan Yanxi, however, sensed something. She turned her head around at the staircase and turned to look at him. Coincidentally, her gaze met with the man"s.
"Ugh ??" Ling Mofeng was shocked. Then, he lowered his eyes and smiled: "Why aren"t you leaving?"
Lan Yanxi frowned and whispered, "Why are you staring at me and sizing me up? Is there something on my face? "
Ling Mofeng quickly shook his head and explained, "No, I"m just worried that you will be sad forever."
However, Lan Yanxi shook her head. "I won"t be sad. In my heart, Grandfather has always been here."
When Ling Mofeng heard her words, it proved that she really got over it. Indeed, people can"t live again, but the living have to continue living. They have to live one day with sadness and hope.
"I"m relieved that you can think like this. The old man will be watching you from the sky, so you have to live a good life." He stood on the next step and looked Lan Yanxi in the eye. He reached out his hand to stroke her cheek, "I will take care of you from now on. I promised your grandpa that I won"t let you get hurt again."
Lan Yanxi"s eyes turned sour. Somehow, she wanted to cry again. However, she could only suppress her tears with all her might. She nodded and smiled. "I"ll take care of you too."
Ling Mofeng suddenly pulled her into his embrace and kissed her teary eyes.
