Chapter 857 Unreasonable Mom
The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Auntie Lan was also dumbfounded, hurriedly covering her mouth, unsure of what had just happened. How could she have said it out loud?
What she didn't know was that Qin Lie understood completely.
It was the Truth-Telling Talisman.
Zhouzhou had used it on him before.
Even someone as resolute as he was couldn't withstand the effect of that talisman; what chance did she have?
Everyone noticed Zhouzhou's actions and, seeing Auntie Lan's strange demeanor, all turned to look at her.
Zhouzhou clapped her little chubby hands and climbed back onto her chair to continue drinking her milk, hiding her achievements. No need for thanks.
With Auntie Lan's revelation, everything became clear.
She had plotted against the Lan family's fortune and harbored murderous intent.
However, Lan Tian was puzzled. "If my dad dies, what does that have to do with you?"
After all, how could she, a distant cousin-in-law who had already been married for five years, claim any of it?
Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Lan felt a bit guilty and coughed lightly, saying, "Perhaps she saw my will; I originally intended to gift her a house."
Lan Tian: "..."
Lan He: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
Zhouzhou: "Wow, get Fifth Senior Brother here; there's someone even more of a do-gooder than him!"
Lan Tian felt speechless. Even for his own father, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If it weren't for the old man's good relationship with his mother, he might have suspected something inappropriate was going on between them!
Just because he had a needy relative visiting, he wanted to gift her a house?
That was property in Jing City!
You couldn't buy it for less than ten million.
With the old man's soft-heartedness, it was likely to be a substantial gift.
Zhouzhou trotted over on her short legs, full of anticipation. "Grandpa Lan, what do you think of me?"
"I'm so poor; I'm a little destitute!"
"I've even begged for food; how pitiful!"
"Could you buy me a house too?"
Her earnest words made Old Mr. Lan's face flush red.
Lan Tian stood to the side, crossing his arms sarcastically, "Yeah, send her one! Zhouzhou is your lifesaver; you have to gift her a big villa!"
As expected, Ancestral Master was a miser!
She pouted and quickly put the card away, fearing the Ancestral Master might take even that little bit from her.
She had worked hard enough for this!
Touching the little chubby girl's head, Lan Tian asked another question: "So, my dad is completely cured now, right?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. "There are still a few more acupuncture sessions to go."
With that, Zhouzhou took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and handed it to him.
"Grandpa Lan needs to take this once a day for ten days, plus the acupuncture, and he should be almost fine."
Then she looked at Old Mr. Lan, seriously reminding him, "Grandpa Lan, you can't take medicine haphazardly anymore."
In an instant, Old Mr. Lan felt a role reversal.
He was the one acting like a child.
Taking medicine to the point of fainting? If this got out, he'd lose all his dignity.
He felt helpless. The rest of them in the patient room, considering he was still a patient, laughed at him for a bit but didn't continue.
With acupuncture every three days, Lan Tian said he would come to pick up Zhouzhou then.
After setting the date, Zhouzhou bounced away.
As she left, she dragged Auntie Lan along with her.
The sound of clattering followed.
By the time Qin Xu arrived to take her away, Auntie Lan had already bled quite a bit.
Zhouzhou took her pulse and, relieved, said, "It's fine. Just buy some cheap hemostatic medicine from the pharmacy."
As for her own medicine, she didn't want to give it to her.
She didn't deserve it.
When Qin Xu learned what had happened, he didn't feel any sympathy for Auntie Lan.
She brought this upon herself.
He instructed people to take her away and then turned to Zhouzhou, asking, "Aren't you going to school?"
It was only noon, and they still had other plans for the afternoon since today was the official start of school.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes brightened. "I want to go to school! To eat the food made by Second Senior Brother!"
As she spoke, she nearly drooled.
Second Senior Brother's cooking was the best in the world!
Seeing her little greedy-cat expression, Qin Lie smiled and they headed back to school together.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard a commotion inside.
A cake had been thrown on the ground, and a nearby child's mother crossed her arms, arrogantly demanding, "Call your chef over here. I want to know what kind of cream this is that you let my child eat!"
