In reality, Jin Tian wasnât considered chubby at all.
His body was small and could be lifted up by one hand.
Howeverâ¦â¦
He had baby fat on his face that never faded, therefore he appeared more chubby than he really was.
âXiaoyun, Xiaoyun! Who did you say just came back?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Lord Lan and others came running after hearing the news. Thereâs a long line behind the old grandpa due to the commotion, but none were more emotional than the old madam with her crutch in hand. Sheâs choking for words as the tears swelled outward.
âCousin!â
Lan Shaoling and Lan Shaoyan were full of joy. They are Bai Yanâs two male cousin and was just as happy to see their lucky star.
âAnd Xiachem, youâ¦. youâre all back!:
With great happiness of her own, Bai Yan felt so warmed inside at the family gathered before herself: âGrandfather, Grandmother, Big Cousin, Second Cousin, Iâm backâ¦. How come Uncle and Aunt is missing?â
âOh that, donât worry Yan Yan, my father is accompanying my mother to her side of the family. I bet they would be turning in their stomachs if they knew you were coming back during their visit.â Lan Xiaoyun explains gleefully and gives the woman another hug.
Itâs been more than two years since Bai Yan left the human worldâ¦â¦
âYou rascal, why didnât you tell us in advance that you were coming back?â Old Lord Lan huffs a grunt despite being equally as excited. He just couldnât keep his old habits away and puts on a stubborn front. âIf you had given us notice, I wouldâve had the servants prepare everything and removed those outside the door. They didnât try to block you did they?â
Toward these unwelcomed door knockers, all of the family members present were resentful and disliked the attention. Theyâve been harassed on multiple occasions already so staying inside was their only recourse.
âSpeaking of which, Iâve wanted to ask this myself.â Bai Yanâs mood seems to get serious, âDo all those people come to the Lan House every day?â
The old gramps sighed: âThatâs already considered small. Before it was the entire street being flooded. I couldnât do anything so I and the rest of the family hid ourselves inside the home, only then did some of them lose the idea of seeing us.â
Bai Yanâs frown grew deeper as a result.
She had previously let loose her relationship with the Lan House so they would rise and not be picked on again. But if itâs going to affect their lives then what point was there?
âGrandfather, next time donât hold back and drive them away. It doesnât matter if you throw them out or use a broom.â Bai Yan sneered with contempt at those people who wants to use her family.
Taken aback for a bit, Old Lord Lanâs voice sounded hesitant: âIs that okay? Wouldnât it effect the Medicine Sectâs reputation? What if people start saying we are using your connection to bully the weak?â
âWhat of it? This land has always been about the strong!â Bai Yan doesnât hold back, âSince the Lan House is at the top then its only normal we behave as such. Why should we care about what others think when they have nothing to do with us? In the future, let the public know that a visitation slip must be sent beforehand. And if they donât get a reply, thatâs a rejection on your part!â
