Chapter 281: Composed Lunch
“Grandma! Anran and I are here to see you,” Mo Jinrong pulled Lan Anran in and said.
“Rascal! You came only when your wife came. Do you still respect me?”
Old Mrs. Mo seemed jealous.
Mo Jinrong understood that Old Mrs. Mo was teasing him, so the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
“Grandma, Anran just experienced an unforeseen event, can’t you let me be a little biased?”
“Anran, come over and let Grandma take a look.”
Old Mrs. Mo held Lan Anran’s hand with concern and looked her up and down. She felt a little guilty when she saw the long scar on her head.
“Grandma has let you down. I didn’t expect that son to be worse than a beast and want to kill you. Previously, I knew that he wasn’t behaving himself, but I didn’t expect him to be so bold. Grandma has let you down and made you suffer. It’s my fault for teaching him poorly.”
Lan Anran comforted her.
“Grandma, one can’t be too perfect. I’m pretty but I don’t have any scars. How are those who aren’t as pretty as me going to live?”
Old Mrs. Mo was amused and she patted her shoulders gently with a smile.
“You cheeky girl, I wasn’t wrong about you, I only brought you and your family so much danger and almost took your life. I really pampered him too much. I always thought that your uncle looked honest and proper and didn’t seem like such a malicious person. I didn’t expect him to be so ambitious that he almost ended the Mo Family’s line!”
Old Mrs. Mo’s heart ached at the mention of her son.
“Grandma! You can visit Uncle in a few days. Do you want to apply for bail?” Mo Jinrong asked in a deep voice.
“There’s no need. I’ve spoken to the police and told them to do whatever they want. There’s no need to care about my reputation. Since he broke the law, he should be jailed and punished. If he is bailed out, will he not harm others again? Your parents wouldn’t blame the Mo Family, right? The last time I went to see my in-laws, they were furious. I was afraid that there would be a rift between the two families in the future and that wouldn’t be good. Hence, I will personally visit another day to apologize and make up for my mistakes.”
Old Mrs. Mo waved her hand. She had thought about this decision for a long time, but she had to think about the entire Mo Family.
“My parents were probably too anxious and said something overboard. Grandma, don’t take it to heart. I made the decision on my own and didn’t tell you guys. It was mainly because the situation was too dangerous and I was afraid something would happen to my brother, so I came up with this last-minute plan. It’s my fault, I’ve made you guys worried.”
Lan Anran lowered her head obediently and admitted her mistake.
“It’s good that you’re back safely. Because you’re back safely, my old bones suddenly have strength again.”
Old Mrs. Mo patted her body and smiled.
“How was the recipe I gave you last time?”
Lan Anran changed the topic and looked at Old Mrs. Mo’s flushed face and energetic voice. The medicine she gave must have taken effect.
“Of course it’s good. How can the prescription given by my grandchildren be bad? I’m full of strength now. Anran is really beautiful and kind-hearted. The Mo Family is really lucky to have you as their daughter-in-law. It’s almost noon, why don’t you stay for lunch?”
Old Mrs. Mo praised with a smile. She was extremely satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law.
“Thank you Grandma, I miss your food. I miss it so much. I didn’t even have breakfast today because I wanted to try some of your food.”
Lan Anran touched her belly and smiled.
“Good, good, good! Grandma will get someone to make something delicious for you.”
Old Mrs. Mo told Nanny Wu to instruct the kitchen staff to prepare Lan Anran’s favorite dishes.
….
In the afternoon, Xu Yanshan rubbed her eyes and finally woke up. These past few days, she had been bowing her head and her joints were sore. She beat her arm and stumbled down the stairs.
“Mom, what are we having for lunch?”
Zhao Xiumei was worried as well. She looked at the fridge, there was only one piece of bread and some leftovers in the kitchen, but she was used to sea cucumbers and abalones, how could she have any leftovers?
The three of them sat in the living room staring at each other. Zhao Xiumei couldn’t help but speak first.
“Yanshan, go to the market and buy some chicken, duck, and fish.”
Xu Yanshan was a little surprised. She shook her head, emptied two pockets, and looked at Zhao Xiumei anxiously.
“Mom, I don’t have any money. Why don’t you spare us some money? I’m famished.”
Zhao Xiumei didn’t have much money either. Previously, all the money was given to Tingyi and her, so how could she have any money on her now?
She was too embarrassed to say that she didn’t have any money, so she took out her phone and called Tingyun.
“Tingyun, there’s nothing at home, are you trying to starve me to death?”
Zhao Xiumei cursed the moment the call connected.
“Mom, I’m really sorry. The hospital has just opened and is extremely busy, so I won’t be going back for lunch. Look for Anran.”
Zhao Xiumei heard the noise and presumed that he was busy. Lan Tingyun hung up immediately.
“I’d rather go out and buy something myself than look for that brat.”
Hence, the three of them put together about 300 to 400 yuan and walked towards the market.
Xu Yanshan, who had never been to the market, could feel needles hitting her feet with every step she took. She covered her nose and stood far away.
Zhao Xiumei took 300 to 400 yuan and went to the seafood stall to buy some abalones and 1 kilogram of pork.
“Mom, are these clean?”
Xu Yanshan had never thought that abalone would be purchased from this place and was instantly disgusted.
“It’s good that there’s food. This is our lunch..”
