Chapter 305 - Run into a Relative (2/2)
After his words, A Miao shouted, “Oh, I forgot to take photos!”
“Haha!” Lan Lixiao laughed. He looked at her distressed appearance as if he had seen something funny, and he touched the head of A Miao. He said, “It is not difficult if you want to take photos. Go again tomorrow!”
Lan Wenxuan, who had been watching the two people silently, had no choice but to open his hand. He said, “Grandpa, I have a meeting tomorrow. I have no time to accompany A Miao.”
“She is your sister!” Lan Lixiao stared at him and said, “Show your respect!”
“Her birthday was later than mine!” Lan Wenxuan answered. He did not want to call A Miao sister. In his opinion, this woman was no more than an illegitimate child.
“If not for her looking like my grandmother and elder uncle, who have passed away, how could she be qualified for the Lan family? Let alone that Elder Master cares for her so much…”
“She is your sister anyway!” Lan Lixiao said and looked at him with dissatisfaction, “A Miao was alone before. Now since she has returned home, you should take care of her and not let others bully her.”
After Lan Lixiao finished his words, the mood in his eyes changed. He said, “I’ve said it before. No one can bully A Miao. Keep that in mind.”
“I know, grandpa!” Lan Lixiao said. He was too familiar with Elder Master’s eyes. It had already been a threat. He dared not and could not resist.
It was A Miao who smiled naughtily and said, “Grandpa, let Wenxuan call me A Miao, or it sounds like I’m quite old!”
“Oh, how can that be?” Elder Master said, very persistent in this matter, “He must call you sister!”
Lan Wenxuan quickly stood up when he heard that and said, “Sister!”
This was not enough, he even bowed in a proper manner.
“What do you say it like this?” A Miao said and quickly stepped aside, “No need to be so formal!”
Lan Lixiao was satisfied this time and said, “Yes, that is my good grandson!”
“Well, Grandpa, it’s time for rest now,” A Miao said. She looked at her watch. It was almost 10 o’clock.
Uncle Fu saw that Lan Lixiao allowed A Miao to help him stand up. Uncle Fu sighed. “It’s good to have Miss Elder back! It used to take a long time to persuade Elder Master to go to bed.”
After sending Lan Lixiao back to the room, when A Miao turned back upstairs, she saw Lan Wenxuan standing there.
“Do you have something to say?” she asked voluntarily.
Lan Wenxuan stared at her and said, “Do you know who Ouyang Jin is?”
“…” “I do know, but I can’t tell you.”
“Well, I am not familiar with him!” A Miao said, smiling, “Why do you ask such a question?”
Lan Wenxuan found her eyes to be very calm. He frowned and thought he might be overthinking their relationship. But he continued to say, “There is no shortage of women around him. Almost every night, he has women to accompany him. You are Miss Elder of the Lan family. Don’t degrade yourself.”
“Thank you!” A Miao tilted her head and said, “I never thought about it.”
Seeing that Lan Wenxuan did not want to keep asking and was about to turn away, A Miao stopped him.
“Although I just came back and I don’t know a lot of things, I am a woman anyway, and in the end, women will get married to someone,” A Miao said, seeing him turning around slowly.
“What do you want to say?” Lan Wenxuan asked.
A Miao shrugged her shoulders and said, “I believe you understand what I mean. You know better about who you should be careful about.”
“It seems… I’ve misjudged you,” Lan Wenxuan said. He stared at her for a long time and suddenly smiled. He said, “You are right. I should not be wary of you, instead, I should be friendly with you. After all, you are the child that Grandpa cares most about now.”
After that, he waved his hand and left. He said, “Good night!”
A Miao looked at him until he left the hall and then she returned to the room. Probably because she had made contact with Shen Xinglan, she felt a lot more relaxed today, soaking in the bathtub and humming.
“Ouyang is right. My purpose is not to fight with the Lan family. I don’t care about what they care about, so it would be best if we could get along with each other in peace. If not, we shall not be opponents.”
A Miao thought of the man that Ouyang had mentioned, the youngest son of Lan Lixiao. According to Ouyang, that guy might be her biggest trouble…
Ouyang Jin was now talking to Le Yi on phone.
“Didn’t you say that you only have contact with the youngest son of the Lan family? When did you know about the grandchildren of the Lan family?” Le Yi asked. He knew that Ouyang had been to Jingcheng City, but he thought that Ouyang’s entry point was the youngest son. He did not expect that Ouyang would know someone else.
Ouyang Jin’s eyes flashed and he said, “This is all because of Shishi.”
“What? What does it have to do with her?”
“Lan Wenxuan once pursued Shishi on her gambling boat. He had a conflict with someone else because of her, and I was the one who solved the conflict later on.” Thinking of the past, Ouyang Jin’s expression turned a little lonely.
“But at that time, he hid his identity. I didn’t recall him until I saw his photo.” Ouyang Yan smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Although this Lan Wenxuan is not a good person, he knows the current affairs and is not greedy.”
Le Yi answered shortly on the other side of the phone, “Anyway, you should be careful and take good care of A Miao.”
Time flew by. With the first snow, the banquet hosted by the Lan family for A Miao was also coming. In the second week before the banquet, a designer came and made her a custom-made dress. On the afternoon of the dinner, the styling designer came as well.
“Miss Elder!” Uncle Fu called out and knocked on the door.
A Miao had been annoyed by the designer. The designer always thought that something was missing.
“Come in!” She hurried to the door and said, “Is Grandpa looking for me?”
Uncle Fu said, holding a box in his hands, “Haha! Elder Master said that he did not want to disturb you, so he specially sent me over.”
“What’s this?” A Miao asked and took it.
“Open it and you will find out!” Uncle Fu said, looking at her, “It should be a good fit for today’s Miss Elder.”
