No one spoke at the dinner table. Everyone was minding their own business and eating their food.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
When they were almost done, Li Fengyuan suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Yeh Luo.
"Xiao Yeh, can I ask you something? How old are you?" Li Fengyuan asked Yeh Luo.
"23," Yeh Luo replied honestly.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I work in the HR department of Xinwei Group. I'm Lanlan's colleague."
"Where's your hometown?"
"Well … I grew up in an orphanage. I don't know where my hometown is. If I had to say, I grew up in the orphanage in Xihai City," Yeh Luo replied.
Li Fengyuan thought for a moment.
However, a wave of discussion came from the table.
"What? He wants nothing and yet he wants to marry Lanlan? Is he dreaming? "
"That's right. He's an orphan. Why would Lanlan marry a man like him?"
"This Lan Lan is really something. How did she fall for such a man? Would she have a good life after getting married? "
Xu Lanlan's sisters-in-law began to whisper among themselves.
Yeh Luo pretended not to hear them and shrugged her shoulders.
Xu Lanlan was embarrassed. She wanted to retort but Li Fengyuan was asking Yeh Luo a question. She could not interrupt or she would be scolded again.
Li Fengyuan heard the discussion after hearing Yeh Luo's reply.
She paused and said, "Xiao Yeh, you and Lanlan aren't compatible. You should leave her. Lanlan already has a boyfriend. You two aren't in the same world. "
"Mom, what did you say? Is it Gao Xiang again? I told you, I won't be with him even if I die, "Xu Lanlan stood up immediately when she heard Li Fengyuan's words.
Li Fengyuan was obviously angry.
She frowned and said angrily, "Lanlan, you're so disobedient. How is Gao Xiang not good enough for you? Also, you have no right to speak here. Sit down. "
"I won't be with a man like Gao Xiang even if you kill me," Xu Lanlan said as she sat down pitifully.
Li Fengyuan looked at Yeh Luo again.
Everyone was looking at Yeh Luo.
At this time, Li Fengyuan said again, "Little Ye, you know, there are some things I won't tell you. Lan Lan belongs to Gao Xiang, not you. How about this, I'll give you one million yuan as the breakup fee for you and Lan Lan. After you take the money, don't contact her again. "
Yeh Luo calmly lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Auntie, that's not right. You're obviously looking down on me. I won't take your money, but my feelings for Lan Lan are sincere, and my sincerity is priceless. So, Aunty, I don't agree with you, "Yeh Luo replied amiably.
Xu Lanlan's heart warmed at Yeh Luo's words.
However, Li Fengyuan was angry. She stood up and said, "Little Ye, Auntie has already taken 10,000 steps back to give in to you. You can't climb up the big tree of our Xu family. If you don't, how can you give Lanlan happiness in the future? Gao Xiang is different. He's the chief attending physician of Binjiang District Chinese Medicine Hospital. He's young, promising, and highly skilled. He's many times better than you. "
"He's only learned medicine from a charlatan for a few years, and he's young and promising," Xu Lanlan muttered softly.
"Shut up," Li Fengyuan shouted.
Xu Lanlan pursed her lips and said no more.
Li Fengyuan looked at Yeh Luo, waiting for her reply.
Yeh Luo did not stay silent. She smiled and said, "Aunty, you can't judge a book by its cover. I may be poor now, but I might not be poor in the future. It's not good for you to belittle me like this. Lan Lan and I are truly in love. Do you have the heart to break up a loving couple? "
"What do you mean break up? Lan Lan already had Gao Xiang before you. "
"Lan Lan doesn't seem to like him. Aunty, you're forcing her," Yeh Luo said.
"I gave birth to Lan Lan. She has to listen to me," Li Fengyuan replied.
"Aunty, that's not right," Yeh Luo retorted.
Li Fengyuan's brows darkened.
No matter what, she had looked down on Yeh Luo at first sight.
Li Fengyuan adjusted her state of mind and sat down again. "I forgot, I don't have to tell you this. Xiao Yeh, I'm advising you out of goodwill. As long as you leave Lan Lan, you'll get a million. If you insist on being with Lan Lan, you won't have a good ending. "
"I believe my love for Lan Lan will move you, Aunty," Yeh Luo said.
"You …" Li Fengyuan was momentarily speechless at Yeh Luo's words.
After a pause, Li Fengyuan waved her hand and said, "Fine, fine, fine. You can do whatever you want, but from today onwards, you won't be able to see Lan Lan anymore. I've already promised Gao Xiang's father that we'll hold a wedding for Gao Xiang and Lan Lan next month. You'll have to give up when the time comes."
"Mom, how can you do this?" Xu Lanlan shouted.
"Shut up. The wedding date has been set. From today onwards, you're not allowed to leave the Xu household," Li Fengyuan said angrily.
"I …"
Xu Lanlan was about to retort.
However, at that moment, an old man dressed as a housekeeper suddenly ran in from outside. As soon as he entered the living room, the housekeeper shouted frantically, "Madam, bad news. The hospital just called. The old master is dying."
"What did you say?" Li Fengyuan's expression changed drastically.
The people sitting below also sat up abruptly.
"Didn't grandpa say that he's getting better yesterday? Why is he dying all of a sudden? "
"Who knows? Gao Xiang said yesterday that he'll be discharged in a few days."
"Let's hurry to the hospital."
The women of the Xu family said anxiously.
Li Fengyuan was also anxious. She immediately shouted, "Hurry, prepare the car. We're going to the hospital."
Everyone in the living room ran out in a panic. At that moment, no one was in the mood to care whether Yeh Luo was there or not.
Yeh Luo glanced at Xu Lanlan and asked casually, "What's going on?"
Xu Lanlan's face was a little pale. She bit her lips tightly and said, "It's my grandpa. His health hasn't been good. He was hospitalized a while ago and was rescued several times in the hospital. He was supposed to be discharged in a few days. Why is he dying all of a sudden? "
"Yeh Luo, why don't you go back first? I have to go to the hospital to see my grandpa," Xu Lanlan said anxiously.
Yeh Luo thought about it.
He said to Xu Lanlan. "Lanlan, why don't I go to the hospital with you? I know some medical skills. Maybe I can cure your grandpa's illness. "
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. Will you take me there?"
