in the living room.

When Ye Hongyu saw Gu Jinlan bringing Old Madam Ye back, he hurried over to curry favor with her.

"Lanlan, why did you personally send grandma back? If you are busy, you can give me a call and I will pick her up."

Gu Jinlan didn't respond to him and asked, "Grandma is not feeling well. Can the trip be postponed for two days? I'm worried that she won't be able to handle the long journey tomorrow."

Fang Yue sat on the sofa and looked down at her phone. Her attempts to please or threaten Gu Jinlan had no effect. Coupled with what happened with Zhao Shiyun, she now dared not look Gu Jinlan in the eye.

Hearing Gu Jinlan's question, she quickly raised her head and said, "No! We can't postpone it. The plane tickets and hotel have been booked, and the money has been paid."

Gu Jinlan looked at Old Madam Ye and said, "Grandma, why don't you not go this time? I'll make arrangements for you when you feel better."

Hearing this, Fang Yue suddenly stood up and anxiously glanced at Ye Hongyu.

If that man came again that day and met the old lady, the matter would not be hidden!

The old lady must be sent away recently!

Ye Hongyu understood the message in his wife's eyes and was about to speak, but he heard the old lady say, "It's okay, I'm going out to play tomorrow, I just need to lie down for a while."

Gu Jinlan asked: "Are you sure you can do this? Don't be so stubborn."

Madam Ye nodded: "Don't worry, it's no problem."

In fact, the travel arrangements made by her son and daughter-in-law this time were exactly what she wanted.

She had wanted to go out and relax for a long time. She was worried about Lan Lan before, afraid that Lan Lan would be bullied by them when she was not at home.

Now that Master Shi is taking care of Lan Lan, she is not worried at all.

Out of sight, out of mind. Maybe if you go out and have fun, instead of having to look at these annoying people at home every day, your health will get better.

Fang Yue said, "Don't worry, Lanlan. The tour group I signed up for your grandma is very good. There is a doctor accompanying them, and any minor health problems can be cured."

Gu Jinlan still ignored Fang Yue and said to Old Madam Ye: "Then I will help you go back to your room to rest."

Madam Ye nodded.

At this time, a man holding flowers walked in.

"Lanlan, long time no see."

Hearing the sound, several people in the living room looked towards the door.

The man was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses and had a delicate appearance.

Ye Hongyu exclaimed: "Meng Rui!"

Meng Rui smiled slightly and greeted the elders one by one, "Uncle, aunt, grandma, long time no see."

Fang Yue hurriedly went to meet him and looked Meng Rui up and down. "Ah, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become more handsome than ever. I heard that your father's business has been getting better and better after leaving Haicheng. It's true that people's temperament changes after they become rich."

"Auntie, you're too kind. My family is just running a small business now."

"Don't be so modest. I heard that your family has been doing well in the imperial capital in recent years and has even cooperated with the Zhao family."

"Where."

Meng Rui acted modestly, but there was a hint of superiority in his eyes.

Gu Jinlan looked at him calmly.

Meng Rui has indeed changed a lot. His face is rosy and he is full of energy. He is no longer as reserved and shy as before.

In the past, the Meng family did business with the Ye family. Because grandma and grandma Meng had a good relationship, they were arranged to be married.

Until now, Gu Jinlan is still unclear whether she and Meng Rui had ever been in a relationship.

Because of their engagement, their relationship since childhood was indeed different from others.

But until they were nineteen, they had only held hands and had never even kissed.

She has been wild since she was a child, like a boy, while Meng Rui is like a girl, gentle and well-mannered.

They didn't really get along when they were kids.

After entering high school, they were not in the same school, and after meeting Matt, she and Meng Rui had even less contact.

In the past, she was simple-minded and listened to her grandmother's arrangements in everything. She never thought about whether Meng Rui was the husband she could love and spend the rest of her life with.

If those unexpected events hadn't happened, they would have been married now, right?

Five years ago, when her identity in the Ye family changed, Grandma Meng passed away.

The Ye family's business had been going downhill during those years, and the Meng family could no longer reap the benefits of following the Ye family. In fact, they had long wanted to cancel the engagement.

With the death of Grandma Meng and Ye Jingwan's return to the Ye family, there was no place for her in the Ye family, so Meng Rui wanted to cancel the engagement with her.

Abandoned by her family and betrayed by "love", she felt upset and went to the bar to get drunk. After getting drunk, she somehow ended up in bed with a man.

So there was that unfortunate child.

When Gu Jinlan was looking at Meng Rui, Meng Rui looked at her again, "Lanlan, how are you?"

Gu Jinlan curled the corners of his lips politely.

On the side, Old Madam Ye looked at Gu Jinlan, then at Meng Rui, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

She used to like Meng Rui very much and believed that Meng Rui would be her future grandson-in-law.

But from the day Meng Rui proposed to cancel the engagement, she no longer had any good feelings towards this guy.

Meng Rui added: "Uncle and aunt, in fact, no matter who I was in the past or who I am now, I am still not as good as Lan Lan. Lan Lan is the famous jewelry designer Lan Xing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongyu and his wife looked at each other in surprise, and then they looked at Gu Jinlan at the same time, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Fang Yue sneered, "Xiao Rui, you must be mistaken. How could Lan Lan be Lan Xing?"

Meng Rui said, "Aunt, I'm not mistaken. I saw Lan Lan in the photo of the Zhao family's third son's wedding. I heard that she was Lan Xing. I was quite surprised at the time, but when I think about it, Lan Lan loved to draw some beautiful patterns on her textbooks when she was a child. She has had such a talent since she was a child. It's not surprising that she can achieve what she has today."

Madam Ye grabbed Gu Jinlan's hand excitedly, "Lanlan, is what he said true?"

Gu Jinlan nodded slightly.

Tears of joy welled up in Madam Ye's eyes. "My Lan Lan is so outstanding, why didn't you tell grandma earlier? No wonder you gave me such a beautiful necklace after returning home, and you promised me it was real."

Gu Jinlan was about to explain to her grandmother, but heard Fang Yue sneer again.

"How is that possible! No one has ever seen what Lan Xing looks like. Could it be that Lan Lan is relying on the word 'Lan' in her name to cheat people out there? After all, the bride at the wedding of the third son of the Zhao family is your best friend. It would be really easy to fool people if you two teamed up."

Gu Jinlan frowned slightly.

Fang Yue didn't give her a chance to speak. "Lanlan, was it Luo Xi who gave you the idea of ​​pretending to be Lan Xing? Luo Xi married into the Zhao family, which is a great move. It's understandable that she wants to increase her status, but there is a price to pay for telling such a lie."

"I'm kindly reminding you that if the Zhao family finds out that you guys are cheating at the wedding, Luo Xi will most likely be kicked out of the Zhao family."

Fang Yue continued to talk, shook her head and sighed, "Alas, young people nowadays are so vain that they will do anything to achieve their goals. Sooner or later, they will suffer the consequences."
