Mo Shaolan had been in a pretty good state recently, and her mind had become much clearer.
She seemed to be quite satisfied with Lan Xiu, but her relationship with Leng Xinran was very indifferent. Lan Xiu also knew that she still had some thorn in Leng Xinran’s heart.
Perhaps it was because of the rumors that Leng Xinran had a tough life.
However, Leng Xinran seemed to have gotten used to it. Even if Mo Shaolan was so cold, she could still treat it calmly. The mother and daughter did not talk much, and they only talked about Qin Su’s intention to come over occasionally.
After lunch, the mother and daughter probably talked less than 10 times. Mo Shaolan chatted a lot with Lan Xiu beside her, and many of them were also about Leng Xinling.
Leng Xinling, Leng Xinran’s younger sister. Lan Xiu knew this person.
Mo Shaolan had a deep affection for Leng Xinling. When she talked about Leng Xinling, her eyes seemed to redden uncontrollably. She looked at Leng Xinran with a look of hidden dissatisfaction, but also a little conflicted. Towards the end, Lan Xiu could also tell what kind of emotions were contained in those eyes.
However, Lan Xiu also roughly knew that Mo Shaolan did not like Leng Xinran very much. In fact, she was a little cold towards Leng Xinran and also a little resentful?
This was Lan Xiu’s understanding of Mo Shaolan after these few encounters.
However, it seemed that Leng Xinran did not take it to heart. She allowed her to be cold, but she still returned the favor. Could it be that this was just because of the responsibilities and obligations between blood ties?
At that moment, Lan Xiu seemed to be a little uncertain.
However, he did not dare to ask further.
With Lan Xiu around, Mo Shaolan’s birthday seemed to be going pretty well.
When she was sent back to the nursing home, it was already close to evening. Leng Xinran went to find Director Li to understand the situation and explain things while Lan Xiu sent Mo Shaolan back to her room.
“Lan Xiu, you can sit too. She won’t be back so soon.”
Mo Shaolan sat down on the sofa at the side and pointed at the sofa next to her eagerly.
Lan Xiu sat down too.
“I know that you and Xinran have been engaged for a long time. Do you have any plans to get married? She doesn’t seem to be young anymore. She’ll be 30 years old after this year. A woman’s good years have passed. It’s really hard for you to accept her.”
Mo Shaolan’s tone seemed to be gentle, but when Lan Xiu looked into her eyes, he could clearly see a trace of complexity.
“Aunty, you’re too kind. Xinran is very good. It’s my fortune to be able to marry her. We’ll discuss the marriage. It’s almost the end of the year now, so there are a lot of things to do.”
Lan Xiu actually wanted to hold a wedding, but he did not know what Leng Xinran thought of it.
They did not get along very well. It could not be said that they were getting along better, but they were getting along more and more harmoniously. There was also some tacit understanding between them. On this point, Lan Xiu was quite satisfied. In reality, he rarely found people who were compatible with him, especially with such tacit understanding, it was not tiring to get along with each other.
Mo Shaolan also fixed her gaze on Lan Xiu. She did not miss the gentleness in his eyes. She smiled and said, “Xinran and I aren’t actually very close, but she’s a good daughter. She’s also very tired.”
Mo Shaolan’s expression became even more complicated. She could not tell how she felt about Leng Xinran. She was also angry with Leng Xinran and blamed her for her misfortune.
“I know, Aunty. Don’t worry. I will treat her well.”
Lan Xiu said slowly, “Xinran is very good. I feel sorry for her. Aunty, I think you are the same, right?”
When Lan Xiu said this, his gaze was also fixed on Mo Shaolan.
That gaze naturally caused Mo Shaolan to be startled.
“Xinran told me before that right now, she is more concerned about Aunty. I think Aunty should also feel sorry for her, right?”
There seemed to be a hidden meaning in Lan Xiu’s words. Mo Shaolan was not stupid and could also hear it. Hence, her expression immediately became a little grave. Just as she was about to say something, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door. The two of them looked towards the door.
Leng Xinran walked in coldly. When she raised her gaze and saw that the two of them were looking at her, a hint of doubt appeared in her twinkling eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
A faint voice came over.
“Nothing much. Have you settled everything?”
Lan Xiu very considerately poured her a glass of water.
Leng Xinran did not stand on ceremony. She took it and drank a few mouthfuls, “It’s about time, Mother. Director Li said that your condition is recovering well. In a few days, I’ll bring you back to City Z. It’ll be more convenient to take care of you from a closer distance. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to take a look at the house. We’ll buy whatever environment you like. As long as you’re having a good time, it’ll be fine.”
Now that Ye Xiaolian’s side was not in any danger, and the Leng Group was completely under her control, she did not have to worry that Mo Shaolan would cause trouble for them when she returned. Moreover, after taking over the Leng Group, her work would become very busy, she was worried that she would not be able to take good care of her, so she directly wanted to bring her back to stay. Perhaps it would be more convenient.
However, after Leng Xinran said this for a long time, Mo Shaolan did not respond. Instead, she frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, “I’m fine here, so I won’t go back. I’ve lived here for many years, and many of my companions are here. Director Li and the special nurse have taken good care of me. The environment here is also good, so I might as well stay here. I haven’t returned to City Z for so many years, so my impression of that place has become somewhat cold. It’s better to stay here.”
Even though Mo Shaolan said so, Leng Xinran knew that she probably did not want to return to this city filled with unpleasant memories.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’m doing fine here. You and Lan Xiu can come visit me whenever you have time. You guys are busy with work and it’s not up to you. I understand.”
Mo Shaolan also understood very well.
“I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone. The matters over there have been settled. It’s not a big deal for you to go back.”
“When I left, I didn’t think about going back either. It’s pretty good like this.”
Mo Shaolan’s attitude seemed to be quite firm. She looked at her coldly for a while and finally didn’t say anything more.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You guys have accompanied me for a whole day. I had a pretty good time today. You guys have worked hard too. Go back early. It’s already late at night when we rush back to the city. Be careful on the road. I won’t keep you guys any longer,” Mo Shaolan said. She looked a little tired.
“Alright, then you should rest well. I’ve already told the special care team. If there’s anything, give me a call.”
Leng Xinran saw Mo Shaolan holding her head and closing her eyes. She thought for a moment and got up.
