The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 63
byChapter 63
After it was over, the two of them clung to each other——
“Let’s get married when we get to England. Mom will bless us.” Shen Xian held Lan Yuan’s hand.
“Okay.” Lan Yuan has already begun to look forward to that day.
When he went to work the next day, Hunter also noticed the bright ring on Lan Yuan’s hand. Knowing that Shen Xian’s proposal was successful, he felt happy for the two of them.
“I’ll treat you two to dinner tonight, so don’t cook at home all the time.” Hunter said to Lan Yuan, but he didn’t dare to say the second part –
When Chen Xian and Lan Yuan cook, one of them competes with the other in terms of taste, and the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.
If they can eat each other’s cooking, this is not considered true love. Hunter doesn’t believe there is true love in the world!
“Okay, thank you, uncle.” Lan Yuan replied happily.
At the same time, an uninvited guest came to Feng Jia – Su Wan.
Su Wan insisted on asking Feng Jia to take her to see Lan Yuan.
Feng Jia asked the driver to drive around the tailor shop three times, but still did not have the courage to step into the shop.
“Sister Su Wan, you should speak for yourself.” Feng Jia found out about Lan Yuan’s falling out with her family, and she had already switched sides, so she was very reluctant to help Su Wan.
Su Wan sighed and got out of the car helplessly. She was now three months pregnant, but she didn’t show her pregnancy.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Lan Yuan was very busy. The wind chimes reminded her that someone was coming, so she raised her head——
Seeing that it was Su Wan, he was speechless and lowered his head to do his own work, ignoring her at all.
“Long time no see, sister Lan Yuan.” Su Wan took the initiative to say hello, but it sounded awkward.
“What are you doing here?” Lan Yuan said coldly while embroidering her clothes.
“The Lan family is bankrupt and your father is seriously ill. Go back and see him. He keeps chanting your name when he is about to die.” Su Wan shed tears as she spoke.
Lan Yuan’s hand froze, and the needle pierced into the flesh, her face full of disbelief, “What did you say?”
Hunter also realized that this customer might have bad intentions and hurriedly protected Lan Yuan.
“Your brother was cheated in his business and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your father was so angry that he had a brain hemorrhage and he didn’t have much time left.” After Su Wan finished speaking, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
“Lan Yatou, this…” Although Hunter knew that Lan Yuan’s father was nothing, he felt bad when he heard that the man was about to die.
What’s more, this is Lan Yuan’s biological father. Hunter feels that Lan Yatou will only be more sad.
“Where is my father now?” Lan Yuan grabbed Su Wan and asked.
“My father-in-law doesn’t want to be hospitalized and insists on being raised at home. The doctor comes to the door every day to fetch water.” Su Wanyan meant that Lan Yuan’s father was in his hometown in Yangzhou.
“I’ll go back with you.” Lan Yuan ignored her bleeding fingers and walked out with her bag. No matter what, she wanted to see her father one last time.
“Uncle, tell Shen Xian that I will be back in a few days, so don’t worry.” Lan Yuan left these last words before getting in the car.
The driver drove the car, and Lan Yuan pinched her fingers to keep herself as calm as possible. When she heard the news that her father’s time was running out, she was like a thunderbolt. This was the first time since she left the Lan family that she realized that she was still attached to this family.
At ten o’clock in the evening, I returned to Lan’s house. My father was already asleep. Lan Yuan did not wake him up, but just took a look and went back to his room.
My mother suddenly aged ten years and almost went blind from crying. My brother’s face was covered with stubble and he looked hopeless. There was no trace of life in this family. Lan Yuan was sad and felt suffocated at the same time.
Jasmine was very happy that the lady was back and hurriedly brought her tea and water and supper, but Lan Yuan was not in the mood to enjoy these.
Shen Xian originally wanted to come to Lan Yuan overnight, but he was afraid that Mr. Lan would see his condition worsening, so he planned to go there if Lan Yuan didn’t come back after three days.
But when she thought of what she had experienced at the Lan family, Shen Xian’s heart was still hanging. She was too worried that Lan Yuan was in danger, and even asked Xu Ziyu to help keep an eye on the situation in Yangzhou.
“I don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Every time I come, it’s for your Yuanyuan!” Xu Ziyu’s words were still thorny.
Especially after meeting Shen Xian a few times before and hearing Shen Xian inadvertently call Lan Yuan “Yuan Yuan”, Xu Ziyu used “your Yuan Yuan” to tease Shen Xian every time.
“Sister Ziyu, can you help me?” Shen Xian took on the posture of asking for help and softened his words.
“What’s so good about your Yuanyuan? It makes you so confused!” Xu Ziyu has always been curious about this question.
“Just because you can’t see her good qualities doesn’t mean she’s useless. I like her. Of course she’s good in every way. No one can replace her.” Shen Xian said these words seriously. She didn’t like anyone belittling Lan Yuan.
“Forget it, I don’t want to hear it. I’ve already called Yangzhou.” Xu Ziyu stopped Shen Xian’s nonsense. In her eyes, everything Shen Xian said about Lan Yuan was nonsense.
“Okay, thank you, Sister Ziyu.” Shen Xian said with a smile.
“I helped you, and you have to repay me.” Xu Ziyu never does business at a loss.
“What do you want to do this time?” Shen Xian asked cautiously.
“My child needs a godmother. It’s up to you. When the time comes, you will have to teach him how to play the piano for free.” Xu Ziyu made this condition.
She wanted to use this child to have more contact with Shen Xian in the future.
“No problem.” Shen Xian agreed readily.
Early in the morning, Master Lan woke up and saw Lan Yuan sitting beside his bed, wiping his face.
“I’m afraid I’m not dreaming, I’m still dead.” Mr. Lan’s tone was stumbling, he couldn’t believe that Lan Yuan was really back.
“It’s not a dream.” Lan Yuan said calmly.
She asked the doctor just now that her father could survive for another half month at most.
“Yuan’er, you are the only one who can save the Lan family right now. I beg you for my father’s sake.” Mr. Lan said so excitedly that he almost lost his breath and kept coughing.
Lan Yuan patted him on the back to make him feel better, with a puzzled look on his face, “How can I save him?”
Lan Yuan learned about the situation from Su Wan yesterday. Lan Zhi signed a fake contract, failed to get the goods, was defrauded of hundreds of thousands, and now still owes a lot of money. Where can he make up for it?
“How about you marry Mr. Zhao’s son? He is willing to help our family fix this loophole.” Mr. Lan said slowly, grabbing Lan Yuan’s wrist.
Lan Yuan felt that her father was wishful thinking, and all the heartache she felt towards her father disappeared, and she sneered, “It’s impossible, don’t even think about it.”
After saying that, Lan Yuan waved her hands and left the room, planning to leave the Lan family immediately.
Even when he was dying, he never missed the opportunity to sell his daughter. This family no longer needed to care.
“Don’t leave yet.”
Su Wan stopped Lan Yuan outside the house, pulled her to her room, closed the door, and dismissed the servants..
“The Zhao family has been in business for generations, and they will make up hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Lan family just by marrying you. Do you know why they do such a loss-making business?”
Lan Yuan looked disdainful, she was not curious about the answer at all.
“You also know that the Lan family is in danger and may fall at any time. The Zhao family came to see my father-in-law a few days ago. He only said that you would help us a lot by marrying him. That’s why my father sent me to Nanjing to find you.” Su Wan explained the previous events to Lan Yuan.
Lan Yuan slapped the table, with only anger and disappointment in her eyes, “I am your chess piece, right.”
“Not exactly, it would be good for you to get married.”
Su Wan wanted to rub Lan Yuan’s hands, but Lan Yuan dodged her.
“A Yuan, you only know one, but not the other.”
“The Zhao family only has one son, but he is a good-for-nothing son. He was injured in his life when he was young and cannot do that kind of thing. Do you think it is good for you?”
Su Wan smiled charmingly and continued——
“All the prestigious families in Yangzhou know that the sons of the Zhao family are not good enough and no one wants to marry their daughter. The Zhao family loves face and wants to find a decent person as their daughter-in-law, so they found our Lan family.”
“In the past, Young Master Zhao was not good enough for you, but now that we have lost power, we are just the right match.”
After saying that, Su Wan couldn’t stop laughing. She longed for Lan Yuan to go to hell and enter the Zhao family.
“What does this have to do with me? I can’t possibly marry him.” Lan Yuan was very angry. Su Wan didn’t want to hear these words at all.
“Can’t you weigh the pros and cons? You like women, but do you and your Chen Xian have a future?”
“You two women will be criticized, and you won’t be able to have children, and you won’t have anyone to support you when you get old.”
“But it’s different when you marry into the Zhao family. You bring Shen Xian over and arrange for her to be by your side for any reason. The two of you will live a good life with the Zhao family’s money, and the young master of the Zhao family won’t touch you.”
“When the time comes, you can play whatever you want with your Chen Xian’ai.”
After Su Wan said the last sentence, she raised her eyebrows and smiled obscenely.
“You are not here for my good life, you are here for yours.”
Lan Yuan has already seen through everything, showing off her cold face and tearing open Su Wan’s hypocritical mask.
“Su Wan, the collapse of the Lan family has nothing to do with me, but you are different. Your days as a eldest lady are over.”
Su Wan saw Lan Yuan tearing her face, so she simply refused to pretend——
“I do it for myself, but people die for money and birds die for food. What’s wrong with me?”
“Your father is hypocritical, your eldest brother is incompetent, your mother is a coward, and the whole family sucks my blood. Is it wrong for me to want to live a good life?”
“What’s wrong with me working so hard to make life better for myself and the baby in my belly?”
Amelia Su is pregnant?Lan Yuan looked shocked.
“Your eldest brother came back once during the Qingming Festival after the New Year. Even though your sister has severed ties with the family, he is not willing to come back to persuade you.”
“It was just when I came back during the Qingming Festival that I touched her, and I never thought we would have a child!”
Su Wan explained to Lan Yuan the reason why she was pregnant. It was also because of the child in her belly that she had to save the Lan family. She did not want the child to be born in a poor family or have an incompetent father.
“Then you go to them, not me. If you are short of money to raise your children, I can help you, but don’t expect me to get married.” Lan Yuan opened the door and planned to leave.
“Hahahahahahaha, Lan Yuan, you are the Lan family’s greatest retribution. The Lan family deserves it, and so do I.”
Su Wan roared, pointing at the background where Lan Yuan left, like a madman.
Lan Yuan caught the train back to Jinling at eight o’clock in the evening.
Chen Xian was translating something in the study at this time. He heard the doorbell ringing and started to open the door. When he found it was Lan Yuan, he immediately pulled her in and put her into slippers as usual.
When Lan Yuan saw Shen Xian, she was holding back the anger and grievance she suffered at home, and stayed in Shen Xian’s arms because she regarded this arms as her only refuge and tender home.
Chen Xian poured her a glass of water, held her in his arms, and blew her wind with a paper fan, saying, “How is your father?”
