President Wife is Pretty and Cool

“Are you trying to bully me since I’m old and useless and your brother is in prison? How it was the previous years will be how we’ll do it this year. Don’t talk about money or anything like that. I don’t believe that you don’t have the money for a birthday party.

If you don’t want to do it, just tell me directly that you don’t want to do it. There’s no need to find a lousy hotel to patronize me. If you don’t want to do it, we won’t do it this year.”

Zhao Xiumei was deliberately provoking Lan Tingyun. He was her son, so how could he not hold a birthday party for her?

She thought about how her son used to go along with her for her birthday, and she couldn’t let herself suffer this year.

“Alright! Since Mom says so, we’ll not hold one!”

Lan Tingyun’s words made Zhao Xiumei furious.

“You unfilial thing! Are you here to annoy me?”

Zhao Xiumei cursed.

Ever since she married into the Lan Family, there wasn’t a single occasion that she hadn’t celebrated her birthday.

This unfilial thing didn’t even throw her a birthday party.

“Mom, I told you, I’m really tight on cash. Why don’t you understand me?” Lan Tingyun spoke.

“If your dad were here, he would be upset to see you treating me like this. Your brother was imprisoned and you are the only son I can rely on. I didn’t expect you to treat me like this. What sins did I commit to cause such an incident?” Zhao Xiumei started to cry as she spoke.

In the past, whenever she encountered such an incident, her son would immediately feel bad for her whenever she cried. He wouldn’t be willing to voice out his grievances.

“Cry if you want to. This month’s pension is only 2,000 yuan. I won’t have any more to give you than that.”

Lan Tingyun was too lazy to coax this difficult old lady, so he turned around and went upstairs.

“You unfilial thing, Old Master, open your eyes and have a look. What kind of life have I led here?”

Zhao Xiumei was still yelling in the living room, but no one was paying attention to her.

Li Yueru and Lan Anran went upstairs together, ignoring Zhao Xiumei in the living room.

“Mom, Yanran just sent a message saying that his itinerary is too tight and that he won’t be coming home for the next few days. He’ll just stay in a nearby hotel.”

Lan Anran spoke nonchalantly.

“This child is getting busier and busier.”

Li Yueru sighed.

When Zhao Xiumei saw that everyone had left, leaving her alone in the living room, she stopped crying.

“Damn it! This bunch of unfilial people, 2,000 yuan is peanuts to me!”

Zhao Xiumei was unwilling and wanted to talk to Lan Anran, that brat, but just as she reached the door, she heard her on the phone from inside.

“Tomorrow, you will kill that old lady and disguise it as an accident!”

Lan Anran looked at the footsteps that had stopped at her door and deliberately spoke loudly.

Zhao Xiumei was leaning against the door, listening. Her heart was beating rapidly and she opened her mouth wide, wondering if the ‘old lady’ was referring to her.

“Zhao Xiumei, you’re dead!”

Lan Anran said the name of the old lady at the door.

Zhao Xiumei panicked and ran into her room in a hurry, packing her things.

She couldn’t stay here any longer, she would lose her life.

When there was no one around, Zhao Xiumei carried her bag and ran back to Xu Yanshan’s house.

“Mom, it’s already so late, why are you here?”

Xu Yanshan was a little surprised when she opened the door. She looked at the panicky Zhao Xiumei in horror, not knowing what happened.

“That brat wants to kill me! She wanted to kill me without anyone knowing. She’s going to pretend it was an accident. Fortunately, I heard her, or I would have died tomorrow.”

Zhao Xiumei walked in panting.

Xu Yanshan was skeptical when she saw that Zhao Xiumei was being serious.

“What did you say? That brat dared to plan to kill you?”

“Of course, I heard it with my own ears. She called someone in her room and said she was going to get rid of me. This countryside girl is really bold. She might have really done something murderous. I don’t dare to stay any longer.

Also I was really furious today. Lan Tingyun actually said that he would reduce the size of my banquet by three-quarters, and then he decided not to hold it. He even said that he would only give me a pension of 2,000 yuan. This is outrageous!”

Zhao Xiumei drank a large mouthful of mineral water as she spoke.

“Mom, Tingyun is still your son. I don’t believe he can really only give you a pension of 2,000 yuan. It’s okay if the banquet is reduced in size because think about it, Lan Anran that brat is around.

So if we expand the banquet, when the time comes, she might come up with some rotten idea that will ruin the banquet. If we make a move, the more people that come, the more embarrassing it will be for us.

That brat has so many wicked ideas. We were hoping to meet Mo Jinrong at the banquet, because Yaxin is hoping that she will successfully marry into a rich family.”

Xu Yanshan refused to give up. There were many people who couldn’t get into the Mo family even if they tried. In the past, they thought that there was a curse, so the house was cold and cheerless. Now that the truth was out, who knew how many people were trying to get in?

“In any case, I won’t be going back. Tell Tingyun about the banquet. It’s useless for me to say anything now.”

Zhao Xiumei came back to her senses and carried her bag towards Lan Yaxin’s room.

“Grandma, why are you back?”

Lan Yaxin looked at Zhao Xiumei in surprise.

She placed the bag down calmly and looked at Lan Yaxin with a smile.

“It’s nothing. Grandma misses you. I won’t be able to eat well or live well there, so it won’t be as comfortable as here.”

Zhao Xiumei didn’t tell Lan Yaxin about what she had just heard because she was afraid it would affect the plan.

Lan Yaxin said she was thinking of Zhao Xiumei, but she was actually annoyed.

The moment the old lady came back, the room became foul and it was no longer her princess room.

“Grandma! I have had a cold recently, and I don’t want to infect you.”

Lan Yaxin found an excuse to keep Zhao Xiumei away from her.

“It’s alright, I’m not scared.” Zhao Xiumei thought that her granddaughter was worried about her. She shook her head and smiled.

“Aren’t you afraid? I’m afraid because you’re too old and weak. If it comes down to it, I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Lan Yaxin carried her pillow and blanket, wanting to leave.

When Zhao Xiumei saw that her granddaughter was moving out, she couldn’t bear it and suggested that she move to the sofa to sleep. Although Lan Yaxin was reluctant, she allowed her to do so.

The moment she left, Tan Shilin called.

“Little girl, find me at the cafe next to your school tomorrow afternoon. I have something good for you.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say that you want to be the young lady of the Mo Family with Mo Jinrong? I can help you with this. Do you want to make the decision?”

Tan Shilin smiled..
