41 Breaking Off The Couple (1/2)
”Mom! Grandma!” Lan Zhengguo and Lan Mengchen felt shocked at the same time. Earlier, Lan's grandma looked really bad. Shes more than just lively when she stepped out from her room. She definitely looked much younger than her original age!
”Lan, come here. Don't listen to your dad's nagging!” Lan's grandma loved her a lot. She pulled her to her side and held her tightly.
”Grandma, your body…” Lan stared at her grandma with her dreamy eyes. Her mouth was a wide grin.
”I'm fully recovered now! All thanks to Chen! After I was fed Chen's village remedy, I can feel that I'm so energetic right now! Just like when I was young back then!” Lan's grandma put on a kind smile, and she was filled with joy.
Lan was really shocked. She said gratefully, ”Chen! I really can't thank you enough! Because of you, my grandma is healthy again!”
”You are most welcome. That is the least I can do to help you.” Chen gave Lan a flirtatious wink in front of everyone. At the same time, Lan Zhengguo was completely drowned in confusion. He was the head of the family for the past ten years. He had seen a lot of things in his life. However, he could not comprehend the things that had just happened in from him. He stood there for quite some time before coming to a realization that Chen did heal his mom.
He thought that Chen was just a conman and Lan was being superstitious. He never dreamt that Chen actually cured an illness that could not be diagnosed and cured by the best hospitals in the country! In addition to that, Chen was a young teenager! Compared to those typical Feng Shui masters with white manes and beards, Chen did not look like a Feng Shui master at all. Lan Zhengguo felt that this incident was too strange for him to process. At the same time, his face was burning hot due to the shame that he just went through. It was like thousands of people had just lined up to take turns slapping his face.
”Dad! Let me introduce my good friend to you. His name is Chen Xiaobei!” Lan smiled happily and said. She purposely emphasized on the words ”good friend” to indicate that she was very proud of having Chen as her good friend.
”Good day, uncle,” Chen greeted Lan's father politely.
”Erm… likewise,” Lan Zhengguo managed awkwardly.
Lan Zhengguo was no ordinary person. He quickly picked the pieces up, calmed himself down, and said with a straight face, ”Thank you for curing my mother. I will reward you with a sum of money later!”
”I just wanted to help. I don't need any reward.” Chen rejected him casually. A sweet smile appeared on Lan's face when she heard Chen's reply to her dad.
”Such a good boy! Let's go! I will bring two of you to go for dinner.” Lan's grandma liked Chen a lot. She held Chen on her left and Lan on her right. The three of them walked to the birthday dinner together. Lan Zhengguo remained standing there after they left. He quickly frowned. He saw that Lan's face was full of unspeakable sweetness.
Could it be, that Chen was interested in his daughter? This was a bad sign! Lan Zhengguo quickly took out his cellphone and dialed a combination of numbers.
”Uncle Feng, I need your help to check on one person. His name is Chen Xiaobei.” He hung up immediately after that simple line.
At the dinner, a lot of colorful lights had been lit up. The big red lanterns with the word ”Shou” could be seen everywhere. When granny held Chen and Lan entered the place, they quickly became the center of the attention. Lan's grandma was the main character of the night. However, the guests actually paid more attention to Chen who was held so closely by Lan's grandma.
”Who is that guy? Who gave him the right to enter the birthday party with Lan's grandma?!”
”Could that guy actually be Lan's boyfriend?”
”This could be true! Lady Lan is famous for her ice-cold character. It's so rare to see her put on a smile on her face!”
”Maybe that guy is from the City of Dragon. I heard earlier that her dad wanted her to get married at the City of Dragon.”
”Coming from the City of Dragon?! He should be one of those legendary figures!”
”...”
