Su Yayan’s sudden outburst shocked everyone, including Yan Xiaoran.
Before she could react, Su Yayan had already said, “You guys have a good chat. I’ll go back first.” She turned around and left.
After she walked away, the woman who Su Yayan had lashed out at snapped out of her daze. She pointed at Su Yayan’s back and asked, “What does she mean?”
“She means exactly what she said.” Yan Xiaoran’s expression turned ugly, and she sneered. “You mocked her husband for being a cripple in front of everyone. She’s already being polite by not flipping the table and slapping you.”
“Husband?” the woman exclaimed. “She… she’s…”
Yan Xiaoran was too lazy to argue with her. She stood up and said, “I’m a little tired. I’ll go upstairs to rest first. Help yourselves.”
After Yan Xiaoran left, the rest of the ladies felt that they should stay away from the woman.
The woman watched the two leave, and when she thought about the rumors about Young Master Huo’s temper and cruel methods of revenge, she shivered.
Oh no, she seemed to have gotten into big trouble!
Su Yayan went to look for Huo Chenhuan after parting with Yan Xiaoran and the rest.
Huo Chenhuan was talking to the father and son of the Lan family. When he saw Su Yayan returning alone, his eyes flickered and he reached out his hand towards her.
“Why are you here?”
“There’s no point in being there by myself, so I’m here to accompany you.”
Huo Chenhuan did not believe her. He sized her up and asked, “Are you tired?”
Su Yayan was stunned. When she thought of what the woman had just said, she felt depressed. She lowered her eyes and said, “A little.”
Huo Chenhuan saw that her spirits were indeed not as high as before. He frowned slightly and said to the father and son of the Lan family, “I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I have to go back first. I’ve already handed Yanyan and my gift to the butler. Help me inform Uncle Lan and Auntie Ye.”
Lan Minghan was surprised when he heard this. “You’ve only been here for a while, and you’re going back so soon?”
Master Lan glanced at Su Yayan but didn’t insist that they stay. He said, “There are many people today. Let’s have a meal another day, just the two of us.”
“Okay.” Huo Chenhuan agreed and left with Su Yayan.
Yan Xiaoran followed them and asked, “Where are they?”
“They have left,” Master Lan said as he took the initiative to ask, “Did something happen just now? Chenhuan’s wife didn’t look too happy when she came back.”
Yan Xiaoran sighed and told them what happened.
Master Lan and Madam Lan’s faces darkened as well. Grandpa Lan and Huo Chenhuan’s father were good friends. Before the accident, the two families had been in contact.
Huo Chenhuan was about the same age as Lan Minghan. Although the couple was of the same generation as Huo Chenhuan, they had always treated Huo Chenhuan as their nephew.
It was rare that Huo Chenhuan was willing to take the initiative to come over and celebrate Old Master Lan’s birthday. However, he had encountered such a situation in the Lan family’s home. How could they not be angry?
“These women love to gossip behind people’s backs.”
Yan Xiaoran said in amusement, “Mother, they don’t know who Miss Su is either.”
“If it was not because they did not know, they would not have said that to the real person. They are not idiots.”
Yan Xiaoran was speechless.
After saying that, Madam Lan became a little worried.. “Do you think Miss Su will be unhappy because of this and argue with Chenhuan when they go back?”
