"Hubby, why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Xi tilted her head, pretending to smile relaxed, but the stiffness on her face revealed that she was not relaxed at all.
Huo Yaoting's eyes flashed, his head drooped, and his gaze locked onto Ye Xi's distinct black and white eyes, "Little girl, what are you thinking about? Uncle Lan and I have known each other for many years, and tonight Uncle Lan invited me to his house to be his guest. During di
er, he recalled that his mother-in-law liked Uncle Lan's calligraphy and paintings, so he asked Uncle Lan for them.
"Uncle Lan was very excited when he found out that there was a female fan. He insisted that I bring him to meet this female fan. It seems like the reason why Uncle Lan was so excited back then was probably not because of a female fan. At that time, he probably guessed that his mother-in-law was his long-lost daughter. "
"..." "Is that so?" Ye Xi's face became even paler, "But was the painting you gave to my mother, Grandpa Lan Shan, just a coincidence?"
"How could that be?" Huo Yaoting raised his eyebrows, "My mother-in-law likes Uncle Lan's calligraphy and paintings, it was my mother-in-law herself who told me."
"?" Ye Xi was startled, "My mother told you?"
The last time he gave his calligraphy to his mother, his mother performed very strangely ? As he had said, his mother had told him herself, so why was it that when he sent her the calligraphy and paintings, he acted like that?
Ye Xi's stomach was filled with question marks, and her mind was in a mess. She told herself that there was no need for him to lie to her.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't make it round.
She couldn't believe it even if she wanted to!
At this moment.
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and Lan helped Lan Qian walk out from the bedroom.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and stood up to greet her, supporting Lan with his arm, "Mom, why are you up?"
The smile on Lan Jue's face echoed the phrase, "You've been lying down for too long, so you're tired. So you got up to take a walk."
Ye Xi frowned, "But the doctor said that you should rest more."
"Alright, little steward. Mom, come out and take a seat. Can you rest obediently later?" Lan pinched Ye Xi's nose.
Ye Xi looked at Lan Xin's eyes that were filled with real smiles, the corners of his mouth hooked up as he compromise, "Alright, then let's sit for a while."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." As Lan said this, she held Ye Xi's hand and pulled him towards Lan Qian. "Xiao Xi, this is your grandfather.
"Grandfather?" Ye Xi was embarrassed, he stared at Lan Qian u
aturally, towards the sudden appearance of his close family, Ye Xi immediately felt close, and felt awkward at the same time.
Lan Qian looked at Ye Xi's eyes, and they were no longer as fierce as when he saw Ye Xi before. At this moment, his eyes were filled with love and pity, "Xiao Xi, grandfather's good granddaughter."
"?" Ye Xi's face trembled, he was not used to such a gentle "old man". He swallowed his saliva, and Ye Xi also shouted in a low voice, "Grandfather."
"..." "Hey, hey." Lan Qian was stu
ed, he was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he reached out his old hands to hold Ye Xi's, "Grandfather isn't really prepared today, let's meet again, grandfather will make up a gift for Xiao Xi another day."
"No, there's no need, Master Lan Shan ?" Ye Xi smiled embarrassedly, "There's no need, Grandfather. I'm already at work, there's no need to give me any red packets."
"You silly child, who said that you couldn't give me a red packet after work?" Lan Qian tenderly pulled Ye Xi's hand, walked to the side of the sofa and sat down.
When Lan saw how Lan Qian regarded her daughter so highly, her eyes reddened and she slowly walked to Lan Qian's other side and sat down.
Seeing his daughter's red eyes, Lan Qian sighed in his heart, and held onto Lan's hand with his other hand.
"But collecting red packets isn't a child's right?" Facing the benevolent Lan Qian, Ye Xi was obviously not so nervous and could not let it go, and said while laughing.
"You are not a child in my grandfather's eyes. "Oh yeah, Xiao Xi, how old are you this year?" Lan Qian looked at Ye Xi and asked gently.
Hearing him ask about Ye Xi's age, the blue face slightly changed, and the other hand that was on's knees tightened as he held his breath while staring at Lan Qian.
"Twenty." Ye Xi said obediently.
"Is he already twenty years old, or is he twenty years old?" Lan Qian laughed and asked, his face showing no change.
Lan Jue took a deep breath, and his face turned pale.
"He's already twenty." Ye Xi answered truthfully.
Lan closed his eyes, not daring to look at Lan Qian's expression.
Lan Qian's face slightly darkened, but very quickly he broke into a smile again, "Your uncle's daughter, Little Yue, is also about to be twenty years old. Seeing how happy you were before, Grandfather believes that you will love each other even more in the future. "
Ye Xi smiled bashfully, "I feel especially close to Shan'er every time I see her."
"Is that so?" Lan Qian smiled as he squinted his eyes.
Ye Xi nodded in affirmation as she looked at the old man in front of her with her crescent moon shaped eyes. The happiness in her heart was bubbling.
"Father, Big Brother's daughter?" Lan looked at Lan Qian in astonishment.
"The main reason why we left B City for Canada was because your sister-in-law was pregnant with your brother's child. The doctor said that your sister-in-law was depressed, that her baby was unsteady, and suggested that we change to a different life."
Lan Jue's eyes welled with joy. "My sister-in-law and her child are back?"
Lan Qian shook her head sadly, "Your sister-in-law is weak and cares about your brother wholeheartedly. She would go see your brother a few years after giving birth to Shan Shan."
"Eldest sister-in-law, she ?" Lan covered her mouth, the vines of guilt filling her entire body. She bent down and pressed her hands against her aching heart, "Yes, no, no ?" It's all my fault... Eldest sister-in-law, I've let her down ? "
Seeing that the blue light was trembling violently, Ye Xi remembered the doctor's instructions. His heart tightened and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold onto the blue light's hand, "Mom, don't be too excited. The doctor said that your body can't be too excited right now, or else ?"
Ye Xi leaned forward and hugged Blue who was trapped in a black hole in fear.
When Lan Qian heard Ye Xi's words, his heart skipped a beat. Seeing Lan Xueruo's weak body, Lan Qian's face was immediately covered in a layer of defeat.
Huo Yaoting's brows tightly knitted together. Han Li's double pupils were tightly locked together as he stared at Ye Xi who was hugging Lan with a strange, unknown reason.
Half an hour later, Lan Jue's mood stabilized. However, it was as if his eyes were soaked in a pool of blood.
Ye Xi quietly accompanied beside the blue body. His pure eyes were also tainted with the heavy sadness and guilt that was emitted from the blue body.
She did not understand what had happened to cause her uncle's death. Her grandmother could not bear the pain of losing her son and had chosen to end her life.
This matter made Lan Shang feel guilty and resentful. It caused Lan Qian to lose his son and wife, and even caused Lan Shan to lose his mother and father since he was young ? Without a doubt, the three of them had been the ones to suffer the most in this tragedy.
And among them, Lan Shan was the most i
ocent!
When Ye Xi thought about that carefree girl, an intense pain arose from the bottom of his heart ? Sorry!
Lan Qian held onto the walking stick with both of his hands, powerlessly bowing his head.
These painful memories, once mentioned, were like poisonous insects seeping into the five visceras, even the slightest bit of pain was fatal!
The few of them sat until the early hours of the morning. Ye Xi stayed behind to accompany Lan while Huo Yaoting escorted Lan Qian back to the Lan's Mansion.
On the Lincoln, Lan Qian still couldn't seem to recover from the pain, he leaned on the back of the chair and did not say a word.
Huo Yaoting frowned, the dense black eyelashes hiding the emotions in his deep eyes.
The carriage was about five minutes away from the Lan's Mansion when Lan Qian suddenly took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Huo Yaoting, "Yaoting, help Uncle Lan with one more favor."
Huo Yaoting raised his eyelids, "Speak."
"Find someone to move in for Lan tomorrow. She and Xiao Xi will be staying with me from now on." Lan Qian pondered.
Huo Yaoting looked at him indifferently, "Xiao Xi is not good!"
"No?" Lan Qian frowned, "Xiao Xi is my granddaughter, she moved here to live with me ?"
"Xiao Xi is someone with a family now, what's the point of coming to your place?" Huo Yaoting humphed.
"?" Lan Qian was startled. Obviously, he did not react to Huo Yaoting's words.
After a long while, Lan Qian finally said as he glared at Huo Yaoting, "Xiao Xi is only 20 years old now, little brat, you can't ruin a person's i
ocence like this!"
Huo Yaoting's eyelids did not even move, "Twenty years old, already reached the legal age for marriage."
"So what?" Lan Qian opened his eyes wide, "Just because Xiao Xi is twenty years old, oh, you said that Miss Man's family has a family?" Can you speak?!
Huo Yaoting finally twitched his lips, his handsome face looking extremely demonic under the dim yellow light of the carriage.
Lan Qian was stu
ed, his pupils shrank. This damn brat, why is he laughing so happily ? stuffy!
Huo Yaoting raised his head, his heavy pupils shining with a shocking light, "Tell me, should I call you Grandfather now? Or would it be better if Xiao Xi called you Uncle Lan? "
What the hell?
Lan Qian stared at Huo Yaoting in a daze, "Can you say anything human?
Huo Yaoting raised his brows, "Uncle Lan, one set of gifts isn't enough for you!"
Can't you speak human language?
Lan Qian's eyes stared straight at him, "Kid, what are you trying to say?"
"Xiao Xi is now my, Huo Yaoting's, wife, so isn't this saying a little plain?" Without waiting for Lan Qian to finish his question, Huo Yaoting threw a heavy bomb at him.
With a "peng" sound, Lan Qian's mind was blown up. He stared at Huo Yaoting in a daze for a while, and suddenly remembered that when he first entered Ye Family Apartment, Ye Xi had called the brat in front of him husband!
At that time, all his attention was on Lan Lan, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now, after hearing his words, his mind immediately cleared up.
Lan Qian squinted his eyes and looked at Huo Yaoting with a fake smile, "Yaoting, you're not saying that Xiao Xi has already gotten married to you, right?"
