Lan Anran forced a smile.

“I didn’t understand my parents in the past, but recently, I know that they treat me sincerely. Back then, they didn’t have a choice either. It was my fault in the past, but now, I don’t blame them.”
Xu Shan nodded. The three of them waited in the room for more than ten minutes. After confirming that everything was alright, Lan Anran left the mountain with the medicine.
‘The moment she got into the car, she received a call from Mo Jinrong.

“Anran, where are you?”

Mo Jinrong sounded anxious.

“Did something happen to my father?” Lan Anran hurriedly asked.

“Your mom fainted just now, did you get your medicine?” Mo Jinrong asked.

He knew it wasn’t easy to get hold of and time was tight. He wondered if Lan Anran had found it.

“Fainted? I’ll be right back. Tell Uncle Li that the medicine has been found and there won’t be any problem since I tested it on myself.”

Lan Anran hung up, hoping the driver would drive faster.

In the hospital.

‘Mo Jinrong had just hung up when his phone rang.

“Nephew, don’t forget about tomorrow. Be good and prepare well; there will be a surprise tomorrow.”

The voice on the other end was very calm, as though he had everything planned out.

Before Mo Jinrong could say anything, he hung up.

“Young Master, should we send someone to Old Mrs. Mo’s house to keep an eye on her tomorrow?”

Considering the old lady’s weak health, Mo San decided to be careful.

“Just get someone to keep an eye on the house.”

Just then, Lan Yanran and Li Gang came over for a check on the ward.

“Brother-in-law, Mom is fine, she’ll be okay after some rest. Is there news from my sister?”

“Anran said she would be back soon, she has the medicine,” Mo Jinrong said.

Li Gang found it strange. The herb was in the woods and would take more than an hour to get there, let alone pick it. How did she get there so quickly?
“That’s great! We can save Dad! Uncle Li, hurry and see Dad,” Lan Yanran said excitedly.

Li Gang walked in to look at Lan Tingyun’s pupils and body temperature, which were both normal.

“Don’t worry, your dad is fine for the time being. Director Lan is just too tired. Usually, we told him to have a good rest, but he just wouldn’t listen.”
Li Gang shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly, heavy and hurried footsteps appeared in the corridor.

“Uncle Li! Hurry and give this medicine to Dad. I’ve tested it on myself and it doesn’t cause any harm!” Lan Anran said breathlessly.

“You child, how can you drink the medicine so easily? Your father is really fortunate to have a daughter like you.”

Li Gang spoke enviously and fed Lan Tingyun the herbal juice.

“Yanran, why did Mom faint?” Lan Anran asked curiously. She was fine before leaving.

“It’s all because of Grandma and Xu Yanshan. They insisted on celebrating Grandma’s birthday, saying that they were giving blessings for Dad. Is Dad really her biological son?” Lan Yanran was puzzled as he asked.
“It’s them again!”

Lan Anran clenched her fists. She had once sworn not to let her parents be hurt by them again, but she couldn’t do anything about it now.

Her father wasn’t the only one whose life was in danger, even her mother had fainted from anger. She couldn’t let them off!

She went to see Li Yueru and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother was still asleep.

“Yanran, help me reserve a birthday gift for Grandma. Tell them to send it to her personally on the day itself!”

Lan Anran gritted her teeth in hatred. She wouldn’t give such a gift to her if she wanted her to lead a happy life!

She whispered to Lan Yanran and the two of them discussed for a while.

Lan Yanran looked at his sister excitedly, his eyes full of envy.

“Sis! You’re so amazing, you did something I’ve always wanted to but never dared to do.”

Lan Yanran ran out excitedly.

‘Mo Jinrong found it strange. Wasn’t she against it, so why was she giving gifts?

“What rotten idea did you come up with again?” Mo Jinrong smiled as he asked. Looking at Lan Anran’s appearance, she probably didn’t have any good ideas.
“When the time comes, let’s attend Grandma’s birthday party. We don’t want them to think we are ignorant,” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Oh right, why are you here?”

Lan Anran had a strange look in her eyes. Did he miss her so much after just meeting her this morning?

“I thought you hadn’t eaten yet, so I came over to have lunch with you.”

‘Mo Jinrong leaned over and hugged Lan Anran. His voice was so gentle that it gave Lan Anran goosebumps.

“Ican’t leave my mom and dad like this, can you accept ordered food?” Lan Anran looked at her mother on the bed and asked him.

Mo Jinrong never ate takeout, but for the sake of Lan Anran, he restrained himself and nodded.

Xu Yanshan and Zhao Xiumei were furious when they reached home.

“Mo Jinrong is outrageous. I am Lan Anran’s grandma, how dare he treat me like this? He has no manners!”

Zhao Xiumei cursed.

“Mom! He is the young master, don’t stoop to his level. He is about to become Yaxin’s husband. When the time comes, you can teach him a lesson, but not now!”

Xu Yanshan stopped her. He was her money tree now and she treated him like her ancestor.

“Tm so angry! That Li Yueru is so outrageous, she fainted after just a few sentences. She must be faking it. If we give the blessings, Tingyun might even get better. Damn it!”

Zhao Xiumei was unwilling. She had never missed having a birthday party in the past. How could she not hold one when she’s this old? Wouldn’t she be a joke?

“Mom! If she isn’t willing to pay, what are we going to do about the birthday party? Why don’t we just celebrate at home?”

Xu Yanshan didn’t have a choice.

“Of course not! We held my birthday parties in grand settings in the past few years and I have already spoken to my old friends. When the time comes, they will definitely come. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we don’t hold it properly?”
Zhao Xiumei was a prideful woman and had informed her friends a month ago. It would be embarrassing if she had to inform them that the birthday party was cancelled.

“But where do we get the money from? Isn’t my money…”

Zhao Xiumei didn’t finish her sentence. Her money had been taken away by Tingyi’s family and she was now relying on Tingyun’s retirement money to live. But now, 2000 yuan a month wasn’t enough for a banquet.

“Mom, Tingyi and I are burdening you, but this is your birthday, you can decide for yourself. I heard that you have a jade bracelet passed down from your ancestors that is priceless. If you sell it, you will definitely be able to afford the birthday party. I think there will be money left over too.”
Xu Yanshan had been staring at the jade bracelet for a long time. When Old Mr. Lan was still around, she had seen her wear it everyday. Now that he wasn’t around, Old Mrs. Lan wouldn’t wear it anymore and had kept it. She hadn’t seen it in years.

Now that life was so difficult, what was the point of keeping it?

Zhao Xiumei was unwilling. It was her husband’s family heirloom, which was also a token of love. Even if he wasn’t around, she would keep it. How could she exchange it for money?

“No! That was passed down from the old man’s ancestors. It’s the Lan Family’s treasure, how can I exchange it for money?”

“Mom! Dad isn’t around anymore, it’s useless since we can’t use it to eat or drink. We don’t have enough money for food now, and Tingyun is in such a state. It’s up to you whether you want to hold your birthday party or not.”

Xu Yanshan didn’t seem to want to care anymore.
