President Wife is Pretty and Cool

“That’s not what I meant, Mom. Why are you here?”

Lan Tingyun hurriedly poured some water.

“It’s nothing, I just feel that since Anran isn’t around, I can have a good talk with you. Ever since that girl came, our relationship has been tense. Sometimes, it’s rare for me to be around as well. But you said that Anran has a strong personality, so even if we don’t get along, I can’t do anything about it. I only came over to have a good talk after she left.”

Zhao Xiumei changed from her usual fiery temper and sat down quietly to talk.

“Mom, I wasn’t able to take care of Anran while she was in the countryside. It’s inevitable that her personality doesn’t suit you, but she is a good child and I am her father. I know this.”

Lan Tingyun persuaded.

“Of course I know, that’s why I’m not here today to talk about this. I’ve thought it through and from now on, I won’t throw a tantrum with Anran. I’m old and can’t tolerate such a thing.”

Although Li Yueru found it unbelievable, she was still very happy.

“Mom, I’m glad you think that way,” Lan Tingyun smiled and said.

“Mom, is your stay at Tingyi okay? If you really can’t, come over to my place.”

Lan Tingyun was in a better mood when he saw his mother speaking kindly.

Zhao Xiumei’s eyes lit up. Lan Anran, that brat, would be displeased if she lived here. She wouldn’t be bullied, so it was better for her to return to the villa.

“It’s alright, I still want to go back to my old house. It’s an old house your dad left for me and I can’t leave it with anyone else. Although staying at Tingyi is good, he is still an outsider. Tingyun, can you help me buy the house back?”

Zhao Xiumei spoke with tears in her eyes.

Lan Tingyun was upset to see his mother like this.

Li Yueru saw through her. She was here to ask for money.

“Mom, are you having a bad time at Tingyi or is Tingyi mistreating you?” Lan Tingyun asked anxiously.

“No, your brother took good care of me, but that isn’t my home in the end. Your brother wasn’t rich to begin with and Yaxin was hospitalized and spent a lot of money. How could an old woman like me cause any more trouble? I think it would be better if I returned to my own villa.”

Zhao Xiumei spoke well. In fact, she was complaining that Lan Tingyi didn’t have abalones at home and had to eat chaff every day. She and Lan Yaxin were squeezed in the small room and couldn’t sleep well, it wasn’t as good as her big villa.

“Mom, the villa belongs to someone else and has been renovated. They have a contract and will have to pay several times the price if we want it back.”

Lan Tingyun was in a difficult position.

“Tingyun, just help Mom. Mom knows you have the money. I know that I was biased towards your eldest brother in the past, but that was because he was too weak and didn’t have the ability to take care of himself. You are his younger brother and you are stronger than him. We are family, you have to help me. That is the only thing your dad left behind, you have to protect it. It is the Lan Family’s ancestral mansion, a place that generations of ancestors lived in. You grew up there too, on account of the past, buy the house back.”

Zhao Xiumei’s tone was pleading.

“Mom, I’ve already helped him pay his debts and the hospital is tight. I really can’t fork up the money.”

Lan Tingyun frowned.

“Tingyun, I promise you that I will not quarrel with Anran again as long as you help me buy this house. Yanran wants to be a star, I will definitely support him. I won’t say anything more. I just want your dad’s house. I want it even if she renovates it. At most, I will renovate again.”

Zhao Xiumei had a serious expression and everything she said was sincere. She really wanted to return to her old house and live there for the rest of her life. She couldn’t bear the thought of suddenly changing places.

“Mom, I really can’t fork up the money. I wanted to buy the house, but the location and price of the house are several billion yuan now. If you want me to raise the price a few times, I really don’t have that much money.”

Lan Tingyun really didn’t have the ability. He could have gotten her 5 million or even 50 million, but he really couldn’t afford 3-4 billion.

“Lan Tingyun! I raised you for nothing, do you have a conscience? Your dad’s house was taken, but you didn’t want it back. I, an old lady, am all alone and despised by everyone. Will you feel better if I die on the streets?”

Zhao Xiumei saw that soft words weren’t going to work and was enraged. She cried as she cursed.

“Mom, why are you angry again? I really can’t buy this house now, even if I sold the hospital, I can’t buy it back.”

Lan Tianyun’s tone was slightly firm.

“You can’t buy it? You just don’t want to buy it for me, right? I knew it. Ever since your daughter is back, you don’t have any opinions. You listen to your daughter saying that I’m useless. You don’t respect me at all. There hasn’t been any news of the job I asked you to find for your brother. I think you’re just patronizing us because you don’t want to find it for him.”

Zhao Xiumei grumbled.
