Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Lan Yaxin, who was at the side, was upset.

“You guys aren’t usually so lively. It’s Grandma’s birthday party, not your idol’s party.”

Zhao Xiumei looked at the children with a dark expression.

“He’ll be here soon.”

Usually, these children from the extended family wouldn’t be in touch with them, but today, they were here.

“Xiumei, you are so blessed. Yanran is a big star now. As his grandma, you should be proud. I heard that your granddaughter is back too. Why haven’t I seen her today?”

Feng Xiulan looked around, but didn’t see the siblings, which was strange.

“They’re like their father, I’m not important to them. You probably don’t know this granddaughter of mine, but she has the aura of a person from the countryside and is extremely unruly and violent. I don’t even dare to breathe loudly at home. I’m already so old and yet, I’m still living such a cowardly life.

Tm embarrassed to say this.”

When Zhao Xiumei mentioned Lan Anran, she sighed long and hard, attracting Feng Xiulan’s sympathy.

“How can this child be like this? You’re her elder after all, can a little girl from the countryside bully you? That’s outrageous. Your son doesn’t even know how to discipline her.”

“The point is that my son is on the same side as her. He’s married so he forgot about his mother. Look, he isn’t even coming to my birthday party anymore. Just a few years ago, he would be busy with the party. Now that his daughter is back, he doesn’t even care about me. I’ve lived most of my life already

and it’s really pitiful. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. Today is a joyous occasion, why are you making it so sad?”

Zhao Xiumei sighed sadly.

“Why didn’t you tell me that so many things happened to your family? Every time I called you, you would say that everything was alright. You’re just too kind. Old people can’t be so kind, they are easily bullied that way.” Feng Xiulan reminded her. She held Zhao Xiumei’s hand sympathetically.

“It’s alright! I can still live a few more years at this age. Have you seen my eldest son? The brat sent him to prison. Did you see that? I couldn’t say anything, but fortunately, he was only sentenced to a few years. How could they be so ruthless to their family?

That girl looks smart and witty, but she is actually very wicked. She is so young and so scheming. Let’s not talk about it, the banquet is about to start.”

Zhao Xiumei looked pitiful. The more she pretended to be pitiful, the more others sympathized with her.

Feng Xiulan couldn’t stand it anymore. The last time she was with her friend, she saw Zhao Xiumei’s eldest son arrested with her own eyes. Back then, she thought that the girl wasn’t ordinary, but now that she heard Zhao Xiumei’s words, she knew that she wasn’t a kind person at all.

“Don’t worry! It’s alright if she doesn’t show up, but if she does, we’ll definitely avenge you. We’re family after all, how can we let a junior bully us? She has no manners!”

Zhao Xiumei shook her head and continued to try and stop her. Feng Xiulan couldn’t take this lying down. Zhao Xiumei was her good friend for many years and had taken good care of her when they worked together in the hospital. She couldn’t watch her friend get bullied.

“Grandma! The party is about to start. You are the birthday girl today and will be speaking on stage later, so don’t be nervous.”

Lan Yaxin came over and spoke sensibly.

“That’s my good granddaughter. I’m not nervous at all,” Zhao Xiumei smiled and said.

“Is this the Yaxin you always talk about? She’s grown up to be such a pretty girl.”

Feng Xiulan smiled.

“Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Feng. You are looking very young too!”

Lan Yaxin was especially good at making old people happy and Feng Xiulan was overjoyed.

“Alright, it’s about to be 6:00 p.m. Mom, read this script first and go to the stage to say it later.”

Xu Yanshan walked over with a smile.

Zhao Xiumei took the script, put on her glasses, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction. It was full of what she wanted to say.

Suddenly, Lan Yaxin took out a small box from behind her back and handed it to Zhao Xiumei.

Zhao Xiumei opened it eagerly, revealing a photo.

Her eyes were instantly moist. This was the only photo of her and the old man. It was in black and white when taken, but in her hand was a colorful photo.

Zhao Xiumei cherished it. Old Master Lan didn’t like to take photos when he was alive, and this one was taken forcefully with him. It wasn’t easy, so she was extremely excited and praised the gift repeatedly.

Lan Yaxin was naturally overjoyed. To her, this was a gift that didn’t require money but could win over the hearts of others.

“Mom, it’s time, the banquet is about to start,” Xu Yanshan smiled and said.

Zhao Xiumei wiped her tears and smiled. She walked up the stage slowly and was just about to pick up the microphone to speak, when the funeral music sounded from outside.

The guests turned to look at the people who played the funeral music.

“Grandma, why didn’t you wait for me?”

Lan Anran strode in with a smile.

The funeral music rose and fell, filling the entire hall. Those who didn’t know would think that there was a funeral happening.

“Lan Anran! You unfilial thing, what are you trying to do? It’s your grandma’s birthday, do you know that?”

Xu Yanshan was furious and she pointed and cursed at Lan Anran.

The workers behind her placed various wreaths on both sides of the hall, which had couplets written on them.

The onlookers were confused, not understanding what was happening.

“What’s happening?”

“Isn’t this a birthday? How did it become a funeral? Who passed away?”

“You… You unfilial granddaughter, it’s my birthday today, why did you send these wreaths? Are you cursing me to die early?”

Zhao Xiumei was so angry she couldn’t speak without spluttering, and she pointed at Lan Anran and trembled uncontrollably.

“Grandma, this is a gift for you. Don’t you love flowers the most? I remember you saying that you loved dried flowers. Those other flowers will wilt soon and these flowers are big and dry. What do you think?” Lan Anran said this deliberately to anger Old Mrs. Lan.

“Sis, why are you doing this?”

Lan Yaxin didn’t expect Lan Anran to send such an unlucky item over, and in front of so many people that 0. Wasn’t she clearly here to challenge Zhao Xiumei?

“Tm here to give you a gift to congratulate you on your 61st birthday, Grandma,” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Unfilial granddaughter! You… Are you trying to anger me to death? What grudges do we have? Although I sent you to the countryside when you were young, I had no choice. It was your fault that such a situation happened to you. But even if it’s like this, you can’t just curse me to death?”

Zhao Xiumei was so angry she could barely breathe. She slumped onto the ground, while Xu Yanshan soothed her chest repeatedly.

Feng Xiulan couldn’t bear to watch any longer. When she saw this, she completely believed what Zhao Xiumei said. This girl looked beautiful, but she was extremely malicious inside.

She stood up and cursed her..
