Chapter 127: Knowing the House Was Sold
“You jinx, how dare you deceive us? That’s Butler Mo, I’m not blind!”
Zhao Xiumei continued to curse.
“Mom, you must be mistaken, Anran isn’t such a child.” Lan Tingyun explained.
“Grandma, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like that.” Lan Anran apologized obediently.
“Shut up! The Lan Family doesn’t have a granddaughter like you! Get lost, I want to go home.”
Zhao Xiumei didn’t want to hear anything from Lan Anran.
“Home? Back to whose house?” Lan Anran asked curiously.
“Of course, it’s back to my house! Otherwise, would I have to rely on you guys to take care of Mom?”
Lan Tingyi was a little proud.
“Oh? Uncle, did you bring Grandma home because her villa was sold?”
Lan Anran spoke deliberately.
“What did you say? What happened to my villa?” Zhao Xiumei asked agitatedly.
“What nonsense are you saying? Get lost! I don’t want to see you even for a minute.”
Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Lan Tingyi hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiumei and walked away.
“Wait a minute, explain yourself, what happened to my villa?” Zhao Xiumei asked agitatedly. That was the ancestral mansion left behind by the old man, it couldn’t be sold!
“Anran, what nonsense are you saying? How could Dad’s villa disappear just like that?”
Lan Tingyun was in disbelief.
“Ah? Don’t you know? I thought you knew. Wasn’t it Grandma who told you to sell it? Yesterday, when I wanted to apologize to Grandma, I went to the villa, but it was empty and there was a new person staying there.”
Lan Anran pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
“What? What happened?!”
Zhao Xiumei stomped her foot angrily and looked at Lan Tingyi with fire in her eyes.
“No, Mom, don’t listen to her nonsense, let’s go home.”
Lan Tingyi hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiumei away.
“It’s true. Grandma, if you don’t believe me, you can go home to have a look. I wouldn’t dare to lie to you. You have to uphold your rights if this is a scam. That house is Grandpa’s ancestral mansion, right? I heard that it was sold at a low price.” Lan Anran continued.
“Anran, what nonsense are you saying!?”
Lan Tingyun was dissatisfied.
“I wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense, you can ask them yourself.”
Lan Anran’s confident appearance made Zhao Xiumei suspicious.
“Tingyi, I want to take a look at the villa. I’ll go back to your place if nothing has happened,” Zhao Xiumei hesitated and said.
After all, it was Old Master’s ancestral mansion, so she didn’t dare to joke around.
“Mom, what could happen to that big villa? Let’s go home first,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.
“Grandma, do you really not want what Grandpa left behind?”
Lan Anran added fuel to the fire.
“Shut up! Tingyi, I’m going back to the villa to take a look.”
Zhao Xiumei felt something was wrong, so she pushed Lan Tingyi aside and left the hospital.
Lan Tingyi couldn’t stop her, he could only follow behind, not knowing what to do.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uneasy?”
Xu Yanshan looked at Lan Tingyi curiously.
“Honey, I…”
Lan Tingyi leaned over and whispered in Xu Yanshan’s ear.
Xu Yanshan’s eyes widened in shock.
“You…”
Lan Tingyi tried his best to comfort Xu Yanshan, hoping that she could help him. His wife was resourceful and eloquent, so she should be able to appease Old Mrs. Lan.
The car arrived at the Lan Family Villa.
Zhao Xiumei got out of the car in a hurry. She tried to push the door open, but it wasn’t the familiar nanny who came out, it was a stranger. There was a lot of banging inside, but she didn’t know what was happening.
“Who are you?” Zhao Xiumei asked anxiously.
“Who are you? I just bought this house and it is being renovated. Is anything the matter?”
The woman spoke.
“Nonsense! When did I agree to sell this house? Get out! Everyone stop! No one is allowed to touch my house!”
Zhao Xiumei pushed the woman aside and rushed in to shout.
“Madam, you have to be reasonable, we paid for this house in full. Your son said that the family is anxious for money and is selling it cheaply. It’s written in black and white, you can’t go back on your word!” the woman said anxiously.
“Bullsh*t! I didn’t agree at all. Which son of mine said that?”
Zhao Xiumei turned and saw Lan Tingyun.
“It’s you, isn’t it? You unfilial son!”
“Mom, it’s not me, I don’t know…” Lan Tingyun explained.
“Grandma, think about it. Don’t you have another son? There should be a name on the contract, right?” Lan Anran spoke easily.
The woman thought for a moment.
“It’s him! I think his name is Lan Tingyi!”
She pointed to Lan Tingyi behind her. He was present when the contract was signed and she remembered him clearly.
“Tingyi? That’s impossible! How could you…”
Zhao Xiumei looked at Lan Tingyi in disbelief.
“Mom, I… I let you down!”
Lan Tingyi knelt down directly and lowered his head like a child who did something wrong.
Zhao Xiumei’s heart sank. How could her favorite eldest son do such a thing?
Slap
Zhao Xiumei immediately stepped forward and slapped Lan Tingyi.
“Tell me what happened!” Zhao Xiumei shouted.
