“Of course not, your brother-in-law is great.”
Lan Anran smiled.
Lan Yaxin looked at Lan Anran’s smile and found it forced. She believed that Lan Anran was putting on a strong front.
“That’s good. It’s all my fault, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t…” Lan Yaxin started to cry as she spoke.
Lan Tingyun was not in a good mood, he knew that Lan Yaxin was here to gloat. Usually, she would rely on Old Mrs. Lan and Xu Yanshan to ridicule him.
“Don’t cry. No one died, so stop crying. If you don’t have anything more to do here, go home.”
Lan Anran hated when others cried and she grew impatient.
Lan Yaxin bit her lip, a little embarrassed.
She was just a countryside girl, she wasn’t worthy enough to scold her.
She suppressed her anger, stopped crying, and spoke with a big smile on her face, “Sis, I’m glad you are happy. In fact, Grandma asked me to see you. She said that the Mo Family is coming to ask for your hand and was worried they weren’t thorough. Let me have a look, have
they sent the dowries?”
Mo Jinrong was ugly but the Mo Family probably wouldn’t be stingy over dowries. But Lan Anran was just a countryside girl. Even if they offered a dowry, it wouldn’t be anything good.
She just wanted to see if there was anything she could take, which would be better than nothing.
“Over there.”
Lan Anran stepped to the side. The gifts took up the entire hall. There were large and small boxes, but she couldn’t tell what was inside.
Lan Yaxin took a brief look and was surprised.
The Mo Family had given her so many things. It seemed that Mo Jinrong wasn’t just ugly, even his judgment was flawed.
The boxes were pretty, but they could still have something cheap inside.
Lan Yaxin retracted her gaze and said with a smile, “The Mo Family is really rich, he sent so many gifts! I wonder what’s inside.”
Her eyes rolled, glancing over at the gift boxes.
“It has nothing to do with you. You’re so annoying!” Lan Yanran came out and said outwardly.
He had seen Mo Jinrong and he knew he was hideous.
He seemed to be around 30 or 40 years old. He felt bad for his sister.
“Yanran, what’s the matter with you? Don’t talk nonsense!” Lan Tingyun chided.
Lan Yanran pouted, bowing his head in silence.
“There isn’t anything much, just some small things like this box of Changbai Mountain ginseng and this box of agate bracelets. Here are some valuable calligraphy drawings and paintings, and some store items. Are you satisfied?”
Lan Anran walked over and introduced them one by one, speaking with a bright smile.
Damn it!
This is good stuff!
That brat got herself a bargain!
Lan Yaxin was furious. The boxes didn’t look like much, but the contents weren’t simple. She bit her lips secretly and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
“Sis, Mo Jinrong is so kind, he seems to value you a lot. Grandma was worried you would be bullied and asked me to take a look. She also said that she would make up for the dowry if you needed anything,” Lan Yaxin said kindly.
She could only comfort herself that these gifts were common instead of rare treasures. Grandma didn’t lack any of these simple things.
Suddenly, Lan Anran stretched out her slim white arm and moved the hair on her forehead, revealing the jade bracelet.
Lan Yaxin was amazed by the reflected light.
What’s that?
She stared at the jade bracelet on Lan Anran’s wrist with shining eyes and smiled.
“Sis, the jade bracelet on your wrist is pretty, can you lend it to me?”
“I don’t think so… This was given to me by Mo Jinrong and you wouldn’t be able to afford it if it broke…”
Lan Yanran smiled.
