Chapter 54 - Deceived
Chapter 54: Deceived
Lan Tingyi continued to pretend.
“Mom, how can I accept money? I should teach her a lesson.”
“That’s right Mom, are your injuries and grievances all for nothing?” Xu Yanshan added.
“Forget it, we’re family. How can an elder like me bicker with a child?” Zhao Xiumei said magnanimously.
“As you can see, they chose money. If this isn’t a scam, what is?”
!!Lan Anran smiled.
They were fooled.
A group of people standing by despised Lan Tingyi’s family. Were they really choosing the money?
It seemed that Old Mrs. Lan’s blood reservoir was going to empty again.
“Lan Anran, are you looking for trouble?”
The more Lan Tingyi looked at her, the angrier he got. He really wanted to slap her.
“You want to beat me even though you chose the money? Uncle, don’t you have any honor?”
“Tingyi, let’s not bicker with her. Let’s go, let’s call it a day!”
Zhao Xiumei took the bank card and called for everyone. She pulled Lan Tingyi’s family back and shut the door.
The onlookers dispersed.
On the other side, Lan Tingyun looked at Lan Anran with a worried expression. This child was different from usual. He originally thought she was obedient, but it seemed that she wasn’t today.
“Sis, do you really have one million yuan on your bank card?”
Lan Yanran was shocked.
It was a pity to give one million yuan to this blood-sucking family.
Lan Anran smiled silently.
Lan Tingyun knew that there was only 10,000 yuan on the bank card. He had been silently observing his daughter. She seemed to have changed.
….
In the other ward, Zhao Xiumei hugged the bank card and smiled.
“We’re rich! Tingyi, take this money. I can’t eat much as a single person, so 200,000 yuan is enough.”
Xu Yanshan’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lan Tingyi.
“Mom, this is your retirement money, how can we accept it?”
“Why can’t you accept it? A widowed old lady like me can’t eat much. Take it and buy some good clothes and delicious food for Yaxin. Look at how skinny she has become.”
Zhao Xiumei smiled kindly.
“Grandma, you’re the best.”
Lan Yaxin walked over kindly.
“My granddaughter is the most sensible, unlike Lan Anran. I’m so angry!”
Zhao Xiumei didn’t forget to curse.
“Mom, it’s good to accept this million yuan, but we have to think of a plan. We can’t let that family off so easily. You can’t suffer such an injury for nothing,” Xu Yanshan said.
“Mom, Yanshan is right. You won’t have any retirement money for the next two months, what are you going to do from now on?”
Lan Tingyi was more concerned about the lack of income for the next two months. No one in this family earned an income and this money would be spent on his gambling. How could he not have money?
Zhao Xiumei thought about it and agreed that one million yuan couldn’t last forever. The retirement fee for both of them wasn’t cheap either, so she definitely couldn’t afford it.
“Grandma, I have a good idea. Second Uncle’s Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital has always been his. If we add in Mom and Dad’s shares, we can get a lot of dividends every month. We could just sit and count our money!”
Lan Yaxin smiled.
“Hey, my daughter is so smart. Your second uncle’s company doesn’t have our shares. If we add in our shares, we will get a bonus every month. Mom, tell Second Brother that a family can’t enjoy such a good thing alone.”
Xu Yanshan smiled and pinched Lan Yaxin’s face.
“Alright, let’s do that. He wouldn’t dare to disobey me. Family members shouldn’t be greedy!”
Zhao Xiumei made up her mind to discuss this with Lan Tingyun, but not now.
“Good daughter, you are so smart,” Lan Tingyi praised.
“Oh right, Yaxin, are the scores for the written exams coming out tomorrow?” Xu Yanshan asked.
Lan Yaxin nodded.
“Mmh.”
“When the time comes, take the results and ask Lan Anran. I want to see if she can still insult me. That family of trash isn’t capable at all.”
Xu Yanshan smiled.
“Our Yaxin will definitely score the best. She will definitely be a good student at the research institute.”
Zhao Xiumei touched Lan Yaxin’s hand and smiled.
….
Zhao Xiumei’s injuries weren’t serious. She could be discharged from the hospital to be home and recuperate. When she returned home, she passed by a bank and Lan Tingyi couldn’t wait to go in to get the money.
“Hi, help me get 800,000 yuan into this account please.”
Lan Tingyi walked into the bank and handed the bank card to the staff.
The staff member spoke after a while, “Sorry Sir, there is only 100,000 yuan on this card!”
“What? 100,000? Are you sure? There should be one million…”
Lan Tingyi couldn’t believe it.
“Truly, it’s really only 100,000 yuan. Do you want to take it all out?” the staff member asked politely.
“Forget it, I’m not taking it,” Lan Tingyi mumbled.
He walked out of the bank full of resentment.
“How was it? Did you take out the money?”
Zhao Xiumei was overjoyed.
“Mom, we were tricked! There is only 100,000 yuan on this card!”
Lan Tingyi was furious.
“What did you say? 100,000? How is that possible?”
Zhao Xiumei was in disbelief.
“Look carefully, isn’t there one million yuan?”
Xu Yanshan couldn’t believe it either.
“Damn it! Lan Anran!”
Lan Tingyi stomped his feet angrily.
“Good, good, Lan Anran, you dare to deceive me? Watch how I’m going to teach you a lesson!”
Zhao Xiumei trembled with anger.
“Mom, it’s useless to go back now. They will accuse us of taking the money.”
Xu Yanshan was even angrier, her future bags were gone.
“Go home! When I’m better, I’ll talk to Tingyun!”
Zhao Xiumei was furious and she trembled as they drove home.
