Chapter 38 Emergency treatment
Xuan Ying Bar
The flickering lights and the influence of alcohol create an environment where people are most relaxed and their true nature is revealed.
Lan Sitong had drunk quite a bit, her eyes were glazed, and she was holding her boyfriend tightly, speaking without any restraint.
He used the alcohol to vent all his frustrations.
"Lan Xingyao is nothing, how dare he hit me. This time I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."
The boyfriend's eyes darted around as he tentatively asked, "But isn't he your brother, and the successor of the Lan family? It wouldn't be good for you to fall out with him!"
"What successor? He's nothing but a nobody, just an employee at best. Look closely, I'm the boss!"
Lan Sitong forcefully swung her hand away, shoving her boyfriend aside, and pointed at herself with her tongue lolling out.
The boyfriend assumed the other person was drunk and didn't want to argue with a drunkard, so he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, he's an employee, working for you. You're the boss."
Lan Sitong was satisfied. Leaning against her boyfriend, she muttered, "I admit he's my brother. If I didn't, he'd be nothing!"
"What's so great about being the successor of the Lan Clan? If I wanted, the entire Lan Clan would be mine. My mom loves me the most."
"They'll pay for this! How dare they embarrass me! I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
蓝家
Mother Lan sat motionless on the sofa, her face extremely pale.
The servants were all adept at reading people's expressions, and at this moment they were all very careful, afraid of angering the mistress of the house, and they even walked with lighter steps.
Ever since receiving the young lady's call, Lan's mother has been like this.
As time went on, the atmosphere around Lan's mother grew increasingly tense, and the entire living room seemed to be on the verge of a storm.
"Hasn't the eldest young master returned yet?" asked Madam Lan.
The butler stepped forward cautiously and said, "Perhaps he has too many things to do and can't spare the time..."
The butler had barely begun when Mother Lan interrupted him, saying irritably.
"What's he so busy with? He's been busy all day, but his online popularity hasn't decreased at all. I think he's too guilty to come back because he hit Sitong!"
"Sitong was already wronged and was feeling vulnerable. Instead of comforting her, her brother dared to hit her. He's really gone too far."
"I think he's all bully to his own people. If he's so tough, why doesn't he go after the Yuan family? Even the Fourth Young Master Yuan didn't do anything, so why does Sitong have to apologize? What kind of brother is he? He can't even handle this simple thing!"
"You think you've grown wings and think I can't do anything to you just because you don't come home!"
"His father hasn't come back yet, it's so late."
The butler stood silently with his head down.
He thought to himself that even the butler knew that because of the young lady's matter, Lan's stock had plummeted, and that President Lan and the young master must be at the company right now, probably having a frantic meeting to come up with a solution!
Lan's mother, who only had eyes for her daughter, was either oblivious to these things or simply indifferent.
It seems that apart from Lan Sitong, there is nothing that can attract her attention.
It's quite unusual that neither President Lan nor the eldest son can do it; they're practically an oddity in the elite circles.
Lan's mother never saw Lan Xingyao and was filled with resentment.
The thought that her daughter had not only come up empty-handed today, but also had a lot of negative rumors about her, and had even been slapped by her own brother, made Lan's mother feel terrible.
When Mr. Lan returned home that evening, before he could even get angry, Mrs. Lan began to whisper sweet nothings in his ear.
"Sitong was being a bit silly today, but we can't entirely blame her. The reason she acted so confused is because she likes him."
"Kids are simple-minded and only want to be with the person they like. I think that's fine."
“I used to think about what kind of family to marry into for Sitong. I thought the Yuan family was good. Although I valued the eldest son of the Yuan family more, Sitong fell for the fourth son. The two families are a good match.”
Mr. Lan couldn't stand it any longer and immediately shouted, "Nonsense!"
“You spoil her too much, she’s become unruly. Look at the things she does, she’s not like a girl at all. If she were a son, I would have whipped her long ago.”
Seeing that Mr. Lan was angry, Mrs. Lan immediately felt wronged and cried while wiping away her tears.
"Why are you yelling at me? I'm just worried about my daughter. Now that this has caused such a big uproar online, what are you going to do with her? What did she do wrong? She just fell in love with someone."
"Besides, my daughter isn't just mine alone. Now that things are like this, we have to find a solution!"
“Sitong has grown up, and I can’t control her anymore. I was thinking that if I let her be with someone she likes, she’ll listen to him more. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”
“Our Sitong is no less than perfect; she’s more than a match for the Yuan family!”
Mr. Lan couldn't stand seeing Mrs. Lan cry. The moment he saw her wiping away tears, his heart would immediately soften completely.
After only hearing the gist of it, I readily agreed.
"Okay, okay, I promise you. Don't cry. You're a grown-up now. If the kids see you crying, they'll laugh at you."
Seeing that Mr. Lan had agreed, Mrs. Lan wiped away her tears and smiled through her tears.
"Sitong wouldn't laugh at me; she would only feel sorry for me," she added.
"As for Lan Xingyao, that heartless guy actually slapped Sitong today. You'd better teach him a lesson when he gets back, otherwise he might hit me next time!"
Mr. Lan frowned, then said, "It was indeed wrong. Xingyao made a mistake. I'll deal with him when we get back. But it's no wonder he got angry. Sitong really went too far today."
Seeing that Lan's mother's face, which he had just managed to appease, had fallen again, Lan's father quickly shut his mouth and said no more.
He knew this was because she was unhappy about Sitong.
Mr. Lan sighed inwardly.
He used to think that it was okay for Sitong to be a little spoiled because she was a girl, and he let his wife spoil her.
However, as Sitong gets older, more and more problems are exposed.
He sometimes wondered if he had spoiled Sitong too much, which had led to her developing such an unruly personality.
But things are already like this. Putting aside whether he has any good way to get Sitong to calm down, he can't even get past his wife.
There's no good solution right now, but perhaps we could give my wife's suggestion a try.
Who knows, if Sitong gets together with the person she likes and gets what she wants, she might settle down.
The thought flashed through Lan's father's mind, but then he felt it was absurd.
What's wrong with him? Is he really desperate and trying anything?
Mr. Lan put his thoughts out of his mind and stopped thinking about it.

袁家
Knowing that the young masters of the family would be returning today, the kitchen spent the entire afternoon preparing dinner.
Yuan Niaoniao returned in the afternoon and has been hiding in her room ever since, without coming out.
Yuan Yangyang was all alone on a large sofa, playing games on her phone. No one bothered her, and she couldn't be more comfortable.
Mr. Yuan was in his study, busy with something, I don't know.
As for Yuan Siyu and Yuan Sicheng, for some reason, they kept appearing in front of Yuan Yangyang from time to time.
It's so straightforward and deliberate that it's hard to ignore.
