Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
10 billion!?
She had just spent 5 billion and wouldn’t be able to earn 10 billion by selling herbs.
But Xiang Tian was too mysterious. In recent years, there were countless headhunting hackers and detectives trying to find him, but they had no luck. If she found him, she would become famous in the hacker world.
However, Lan Anran’s head was spinning quickly. Wouldn’t Xiang Tian know about such a public posting?
Was this a trap?
There were many people who wanted to find Q over the years. What if…
Even if it was a trap, the 10 billion was too attractive. She was very poor and only had 50 million on hand. Otherwise…
Lan Anran’s eyes turned and she decided on a plan to replace the real thing with a fake. She smiled, her long and slender fingers clicking on the accept button.
She was taking the job!
She turned off the computer and put it in her bag before walking out of the cafe to the hospital.
...
After Lan Yanran finished the test and left the examination hall, he couldn’t find Lan Anran and thought that his sister had done badly as well and must have gone to the hospital to complain to their mom. He wanted to air his grievances as well, but when he didn’t find Lan Anran at the hospital, he thought that Lan Anran had gone into hiding because she didn’t do well. With a deep sigh, he entered the hospital ward.
“Mom, I let you and Dad down. The exam was too difficult. I might not even pass the written exam.”
“It’s alright Yanran. If you don’t do well, we will forget it. Your grandma will just nag on you a few times, but it doesn’t matter to us.”
Li Yueru caressed Yanran’s head and smiled.
She knew her son best. He wasn’t good at medicine at all, but he was born in the Lan Family and had to shoulder the mission. Otherwise, she would have told him to drop out of school.
“Mom, you are so kind. Will Sis be upset too?”
Lan Yanran didn’t have to think to know it was definitely the case. His sister had never learnt medicine and the test was so difficult. She might have gone to hide because she was afraid their mom and dad would be upset.
“I didn’t see your sister. Your sister is sensible. She must have failed the exam today. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have allowed her to enter the competition. I don’t know how we’re going to be ridiculed this time…”
There was another trace of sadness on Li Yueru’s face.
“Mom, don’t worry, this will pass.”
Lan Anran pushed the door open, with a relaxed expression on her face.
Lan Yanran turned his head and felt even worse when he saw his sister like this. She had to be appearing relaxed so that they wouldn’t be upset!
Li Yueru held Lan Anran’s hand and comforted her, “Anran, Mom knows you didn’t do well today. It’s alright, you haven’t studied medicine before. It’s normal that you don’t know these things. You don’t have to feel pressured. Your dad and I understand, we don’t blame you.”
“Mom, the test results will come out in two days. I will definitely pass!” Lan Anran replied easily.
Seeing Lan Anran’s confidence, Li Yueru couldn’t say much.
“Mom, how do you feel today?” Lan Anran asked.
“I’m feeling much better. I don’t know why, but my body feels better and better. I’m a hundred times more relaxed than before.”
Li Yueru smiled, her eyes were bright and energized with a slight glow to her face.
Lan Anran was very happy to see her mother like this. It seemed that the fennel was really an incredible ingredient…
At this moment, Lan Yaxin’s voice suddenly came from the door and they turned to look, “Sis, why didn’t you tell me that Second Aunt is sick? I heard about it from our teacher and rushed over after the test was over. Is she alright?”
Lan Yaxin was very shrewd. Her eyes turned quickly and she walked over and took Li Yueru’s hand with a well-behaved and harmless expression.
Li Yueru was a little resistant, but she was an elder and couldn’t make it too obvious, so she had to smile.
“It’s nothing, just an old problem. Anran has been taking good care of me and I will be discharged from the hospital soon.”
“Second Aunt, my parents know it too, but they are too busy, so they told me to visit. I hope you don’t mind.”
Lan Yaxin didn’t forget about her parents while making herself known. She couldn’t give them any chance to talk poorly about her parents.
“It’s nothing. It doesn’t matter, I know your parents are busy.”
Li Yueru didn’t care too much about it. Besides, she wasn’t telling the truth. If they had wanted to come, they would have come by now instead of sending this little girl over to show concern.
“What can they be busy with? Playing mahjong or betting on soccer?” Lan Yanran asked softly.
Xu Yanshan didn’t have much work and her biggest hobby was playing mahjong. She could sit at the mahjong table for 20 hours without getting tired. Lan Tingyi was worse… He would watch football every day and all his money was used for gambling. When the family ran out of money, they would get Old Mrs. Lan to complain that Lan Tingyun wasn’t giving her enough money. She would then find Lan Tingyun to get some money.
Each month, the salary Lan Tingyun earned not only went to his home and the hospital, but also to Old Mrs. Lan. Because of this, the Lan Family’s funds were very tight.
Lan Yaxin’s face fell and she said in embarrassment, “I can’t do anything about my parents, we can’t compare to my second aunt’s family. You should know about the situation in my house and the month is about to end. Second Aunt…”
She stopped midway and lowered her head, looking at Lan Tingyun and his family with the side of her eyes.
Li Yueru knew what she was implying and was just about to say something when Lan Anran interrupted, “It’s the end of the month. Uncle and Aunt should bring something to see Mom.. How could you come empty-handed? You don’t have to beat around the bush if you’re asking for money. Besides, you are unusually shameless, so are you perhaps afraid of embarrassing yourself?”
