Lan Jian did not immediately return to the dining table. Instead, he ran to the living room on the first floor and called Wei Zhou. Since he was already involved in this mess, he might as well go all the way.
What made him feel dejected was that he was wholeheartedly worried for his brother, but this good brother of his treated his kindness like dirt. He called three times and Wei Zhou hung up on him three times without any hesitation.
He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Since Wei Zhou did not pick up the phone, he could only send a message to explain the situation. As for what he should do next, it had nothing to do with him.
A moment later, Lan Jian was the last to return to the dining table. Seeing that the situation wasn’t as savage as he had imagined, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. He prayed in his heart that it will continue this way.
However, Murphy’s Law happened. The more Lan Jian feared that the situation will get worse, all the more it would happen. Moreover, he was the fuse that caused the situation to escalate at the dining table.
Lan Jian picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and placed it into his bowl. Just as he had taken two bites, he heard Fan Yumei introduce, “Su Yan, his name is Lan Jian. He’s my nephew.”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lili said unwillingly, “Mom, have you forgotten that my cousin and Wei Zhou are best friends? Is there a need for you to introduce them?”
At the mention of Wei Zhou, Su Yan still put on a smile on her face, wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “Miss Zhao is right. I’ve known Lan Jian for three to four years.”
Fan Yumei glared at Zhao Lili, signaling her not to talk nonsense. Unfortunately, her gaze was naturally ignored by Zhao Lili. After hearing Su Yan admit it, Zhao Lili snorted and said, “Hey Mom, we’re all sensible people. Why can’t we talk about this? Everyone in Jiang Du knows what kind of person Su Yan is and what kind of character she has. The divorce between her and Wei Zhou has caused a storm in the city. There are still many people talking about this on the Internet.”
Fan Yumei wanted to save her face from embarrassment. Whatsoever, Feng Hao was her godson. Not to mention what relationship Su Yan had with him, she was still here with her godson. Zhao Lili had repeatedly humiliated her, so she was naturally angry.
“Put down the bowl and chopsticks, and go back to your room. Since you are so eloquent, why haven’t you found a job yet? “Fan Yumei scolded angrily.
Zhao Lili shrugged her neck. After being scolded by her mother, she immediately became more obedient. She sat there and continued to eat. Although she looked at Su Yan with an unfriendly gaze, she did not say anything else.
Feng Hao did not say a word throughout the whole conversation. There was no expression on his face either. However, he observed everyone’s facial expression and came to a certain understanding.
Seeing that Zhao Lili was very assertive, Feng Hao said to Su Yan, “If you don’t wish to stay here, we can leave at any time.”
Su Yan looked at him and smiled. “It’s okay. I’m not angry with a child.”
What she said was the truth. In terms of experience or intelligence, Zhao Lili was not worth mentioning in front of her. The two of them were completely incomparable. At least when she was Zhao Lili’s age, she already had three companies under her name.
Moreover, the little grievance she suffered was nothing compared to the Wei family. Not to mention a few sarcastic remarks, even if Zhao Lili jumped up and scolded, she would still be calmly seated and drive Zhao Lili up a wall.
“Auntie, Miss Zhao is right. There is nothing to hide about my divorce with Wei Zhou. Although I am divorced, the Feng family did not require Feng Hao to marry someone not married before, right?”, said Su Yan in a calm manner as she looked at Fan Yumei.
Fan Yumei’s face stiffened. Su Yan’s words were neither servile nor overbearing. She could not say anything to refute it. Although she was Feng Hao’s godmother, she had no authority to decide who Feng Hao liked or make decisions on behalf of his parents.
This woman was indeed very powerful. She had pointed out the crux of the matter in one sentence. Su Yan’s meaning was very clear. Feng Hao’s surname was Feng, and their surname was Zhao. No matter how close the two families were, they still do not belong to one family.
“Su Yan, don’t listen to Lily’s nonsense. She’s just spoiled by us. She’s not very capable and has a big temper. Moreover, she doesn’t think before she speaks. Otherwise, why can’t she find a job?” Fan Yumei smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Alright, today is the New Year, we’re fated to gather together. Quick, try this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I had the kitchen’s staff stew for an entire day. The abalones in it are all Black Golden abalone, you have to order more.”
