Chapter 212 - Killing Two Birds with One Stone

“Oh my goodness! Who is the sender?”

Zhao Xiaolei was envious.

“It’s a gift from me! I said I would win you over! Seems like you love it!”

Lin Cheng spoke proudly.

Lan Anran looked at the card on the flower. There was a disgusting sentence written on it.

“Anran, the 99 roses represent my love for you!”

Lan Anran felt her entire body go numb as she looked at it.

“Who wants these flowers?”

The others in the class were fighting over it. In two minutes, everyone had one and the rest was given to Zhao Xiaolei.

“Lan Anran, you’re too much!”

Lin Cheng shouted.

“I didn’t force you to give it to me. Since you’ve given it to me, it’s mine. Of course I have the right to give it to whoever I want. Besides, you’re too childish. I don’t like such things as gifts. I hope you won’t waste your time. I don’t like you!”

Lan Anran publicly rejected Lin Cheng, which made him lose face.

“Damn it! Lan Anran, you’re so shameless!” Lin Cheng said furiously.

“Sorry, I have rejected you very clearly. I hope you will know your place!” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“What’s wrong with everyone today? Where did you get the flowers from?”

Li Yue walked in with a smile.

Lin Cheng kicked the table away in frustration!

Completely ignoring the fact that Li Yue was present, he slammed the door and left, shocking her.

“Teacher, don’t worry about him. This flower is an apology from Lin Cheng!”

Zhao Xiaolei happily offered the roses to Li Yue.

“Thank you! But this isn’t a reason for your grades to deteriorate. Study well, the test is the day after tomorrow. Everyone, make use of the time and then send the test papers to the Academic Affairs Office. No one else is to come into contact with them, don’t harbor any malicious thoughts!” Li Yue smiled.

“Got it, Teacher.”

The class replied in unison.

Lin Cheng, who was in the school field, ran a few laps angrily. He didn’t like Lan Anran, but he couldn’t get rid of her. It was so frustrating.

“Hey! Are you upset because you couldn’t chase after Lan Anran?”

Lan Yaxin was in physical education class with a group of friends on the field, when she saw Lin Cheng’s dejected expression.

“You know?”

Lin Cheng sat in the field tired from running and looked up.

“She is my cousin, how could I not know?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lan Yaxin smiled.

She had long heard that Lin Cheng from class one wanted to chase after Lan Anran. Although she thought it was wishful thinking, he was a person she could make use of.

“That’s right! Do you know what your cousin likes best?” Lin Cheng asked.

“She likes expensive things the most, you can give her whatever is expensive. Think about the most expensive things these days?”

Lan Anran reminded him.

“Bags! Jewelry!”

Lin Cheng suddenly had an idea.

“Is that all you have in mind?”

Lan Yaxin sneered.

“What else can Lan Anran want? These things are expensive.”

Lin Cheng was stumped.

“The most expensive thing now are the answers to the mid-term exams, dummy!”

Lan Yaxin smiled.

Yang Qing nudged Lan Yaxin. This was supposed to be their secret, so how could she tell Lin Cheng?

“You want me to steal the answers?”

Lin Cheng frowned.

“I didn’t ask you to steal it, I just asked you to invite Lan Anran out. We have a plan for the rest of the matter, and Lan Anran will definitely be grateful.”

Lan Yaxin smiled.

“Why are you helping me? Why don’t you arrange it yourself?”

Although Lin Cheng’s IQ wasn’t high, he still had some brains.

“Sis and I have been on bad terms recently and she definitely wouldn’t forgive me. If I went to find her, she definitely wouldn’t see me, but it would be different if you went. Sis loves to be chased. Although she doesn’t say anything, she is very happy inside.

“As long as you help me with this, Sis will definitely forgive me and when the time comes, I’ll put in a good word for you. Wouldn’t that do?”

Lan Yaxin wouldn’t be foolish enough to invite Lan Anran herself, as she wouldn’t agree. She might as well find a middleman, as Lin Cheng would be the most suitable.

“That’s true, you can’t lie to me!”

Lin Cheng stood up.

“Of course.”

Lan Yaxin smiled, signalling their agreement.

Gu Qiu and Yang Qing behind her still didn’t understand. They were confused. When they returned, Lan Yaxin had explained to them that she was afraid something would happen to them and wanted to find a scapegoat. They immediately felt that Lan Yaxin was a kind person and trusted her even more.

In fact, she just wanted to pass the evidence of Lan Anran’s affair to the Lan Family and Mo Family. She would only be able to watch the show comfortably if the matter blew up.

….

Back at home, Lan Anran saw Zhao Xiumei’s distressed expression.

“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Lan Anran came over and asked.

“Nothing.”

Zhao Xiumei looked at the chicken, duck, and fish soup in front of her and wished she could throw up. These days, she has been eating these nourishing soups thrice a day. She felt like she had gained more than ten kilograms. If she continued to eat, she was going to start producing breast milk.[1]

“Grandma, do you not want to eat these things? I’ll change them for you.”

Lan Anran smiled and took the soup off the table. Zhao Xiumei’s eyes lit up and she was excited, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Anran, your father called me just now and said that he would be coming back. Tell him on my behalf. I’m about to die and have something to discuss with him!”

Zhao Xiumei smiled at Lan Anran, who was in the kitchen.
