“Mom, take care of your health now. The results of the written test are out. Lan Anran definitely won’t be able to surpass Yaxin. Don’t worry, we will tell you the good news when Yaxin is back.”

Xu Yanshan smiled and handed a cup of water to Zhao Xiumei.

“Yaxin really understands me. No wonder I taught her my unique skills.”

Zhao Xiumei drank some water.

Lan Yaxin carried in her bags, looking displeased.

“Your results are out, right? Tell Grandma, she is still furious.”

Xu Yanshan was pleased.

“Grandma, Mom, I’m sorry, I didn’t get first place this time.”

Lan Yaxin lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes.

“What? Aren’t you always first place? What happened this time? Were the test papers too difficult?”

Xu Yanshan was slightly surprised.

“No, Sis came first place this time and I was second. Grandma, I didn’t bring you glory, it’s my fault.”

Lan Yaxin finally cried.

Zhao Xiumei was surprised and had a look of disbelief.

“What did you say? That brat came first?”

“That’s impossible! Wasn’t she raised in the countryside? Where did she learn about medicine?”

Xu Yanshan couldn’t believe it either. Her daughter had always been first place, so how did Lan Anran get first?

“Grandma, Mom, I’m sorry, I underestimated this test paper.”

Lan Yaxin continued to cry.

Zhao Xiumei looked at her tearful face and couldn’t bear to scold her. She hurried over to comfort her.

“Yaxin, don’t cry. Yaxin is Grandma’s precious granddaughter. Isn’t it just an exam? Isn’t there another one? We have to win your place back.”

Lan Yaxin lay in Zhao Xiumei’s arms, sobbing for a while as she wiped her tears.

“Grandma, the test paper was indeed difficult and Sis fell asleep in the examination room. There are rumors in school that she got the ranking through cheating. I can’t accept it and will definitely beat her next time.”

Lan Yaxin swore. She couldn’t accept it, she couldn’t lose to a countryside girl.

Zhao Xiumei’s expression turned solemn when she heard her words.

“How can children of the Lan Family rely on cheating to do such an embarrassing thing? It will tarnish the Lan Family’s reputation. This time, it doesn’t count. What kind of result can they get from cheating? Yaxin, you are still first place. That brat will suffer if she falls into my hands!”

“Mom, this isn’t fair to Yaxin. I’m going to report her,” Xu Yanshan said.

“It’s indeed wrong for Lan Anran to make such a big fuss, but you can’t report her either. She is still a member of the Lan Family, wouldn’t she be an embarrassment to the Lan Family? That’s it, there are still the interviews. I’ll see how many more rounds she can pass!”

Zhao Xiumei was a prideful woman and she usually boasted about the Lan Family. If such a scandal broke out, she wouldn’t have the face to go out anymore.

Xu Yanshan suppressed her anger and refused to accept it, but she couldn’t object if Old Mrs. Lan didn’t want her to. After all, Old Mrs. Lan was the one who called the shots in this family.

“Grandma, the rules have changed this year. Lan Anran entered the semi-finals directly because she was first…”

The more Lan Yaxin spoke, the more upset she became. It wasn’t because she didn’t do well in the exam, but because she didn’t seem convinced by Lan Anran. How was she first? She must have done something.

“What? Damn it!”

Zhao Xiumei slapped the table fiercely. This brat had her under her control.

“Forget it, aren’t competitions broadcasted live? I want to see how capable this brat is!”

Xu Yanshan gritted her teeth in hatred. Lan Anran, just you wait!

“Mom, go find Tingyun in a few days. We won’t have enough money this month with your health. Tingyi wanted to support you in your old age, but the money was in the stock market and couldn’t be taken out. If it’s taken out, it will be a loss. We were thinking of taking Mom on a vacation to eat and drink good food, but it seems like we’ll have to wait a while longer.”

Xu Yanshan changed the topic sadly.

Zhao Xiumei was moved by her words. Her eldest son’s family had given her branded bags and lipsticks on New Year’s Eve, but they were all given by Xu Yanshan. In the end, they were still her money. It was good that her eldest daughter-in-law had such intentions. She was better than that ingrate. He never said such things and even allowed his daughter to hit her elders. He deserved a beating.

She believed that Tingyi was thinking the same thing. Was this all the money she had for her retirement?

“Yanshan, if you really think so, I’ll go to Tingyun’s house to discuss these affairs tomorrow. Let’s go for a walk. The old man isn’t around anymore and I haven’t been able to eat much alone in these past few years. I still have money for my retirement.”

Zhao Xiumei smiled.

“Alright Mom, Tingyun isn’t an unreasonable person, you have to talk to him nicely. Tomorrow, I’ll call Tingyi over to protect you and prevent Lan Anran from disrespecting you again.”

Xu Yanshan smiled and caressed Lan Yaxin’s head. The family broke into laughter again.

….

The next day, Lan Anran went online to sign up for the Rong Cheng Medical Research Institute. Just as Zhao Xiaolei had said, the website was frozen the moment she entered the network. It seemed that the Rong Cheng Medical Research Institute was quite popular.

Of course, Lan Anran wouldn’t wait for everyone to finish applying before she went over. An overloaded website had something to do with its internal settings.

She easily hacked into the Medical Research Institute’s network and changed some of the data. The website immediately smoothed out.

After Lan Anran finished registering, she remembered Fatty’s words that Mo Jinrong was most likely Xiang Tian.. She needed to find out his real identity.
