Chapter 39: Haggard Lan Siyue
Soon, all the friends Zhao Xiumei had invited came over.

The Lan family's villa became lively.

Chen Mo, Chen Zhiming, and Lan Yuan were chatting in the study.

Xu Ying and Zhao Xiumei took turns holding Lan Leyi. They were surrounded by a group of older sisters of the same age. When they heard them say "little Yiyi is so cute", they couldn't stop smiling.

Lan Xinya sat next to Zhao Xiumei, took out the prepared birthday gift, and said gently:
"Mom, happy birthday."

"what?"

Zhao Xiumei took the beautifully wrapped gift box and unwrapped it with a smile.

In a sandalwood box lay two exquisite white jade teardrop earrings.

This was bought by Chen Mo and Lan Xinya a few days ago.

"Mom, I'll put it on for you."

Lan Xinya picked up the two earrings and said to Zhao Xiumei with a smile.

"it is good."

Zhao Xiumei smiled and nodded.

Lan Xinya gently helped Zhao Xiumei put on the earrings, then with a satisfied smile on her face, she said:
"Mom, these earrings suit you very well. They look really good on you."

"Hey, I'm old now, what's there to watch?"

Zhao Xiumei shook her head and said helplessly.

At the same time, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

It doesn’t matter what the gift is, and it doesn’t matter how expensive it is.

What’s important is the thought behind my daughter’s birthday gift, which is enough to make her happy.

"Mom, what are you talking about? You are not old at all."

Lan Xinya said dissatisfiedly when she heard what Zhao Xiumei said.

"That's right, don't talk about old age, you look only in your thirties, and you're still beautiful."

Xu Ying hugged Lan Leyi and said, then lowered his head and said to Lan Leyi:

"Yiyi, is grandma pretty?"

"pretty."

Lan Leyi responded in a baby voice.

A group of people heard her baby voice and started laughing.

"Dingling bell~"

At this time, the doorbell rang.

The nanny went out to open the door.

After a while, the nanny came back.

"It's Siyue outside."

The nanny looked at everyone and said to Zhao Xiumei.

She was asking Zhao Xiumei's opinion on whether to let Lan Siyue in.

When Zhao Xiumei heard what the nanny said, the smile on her face slowly faded.

"Let her in."

Zhao Xiumei held Lan Xinya's hand, took a deep breath, and spoke.

Although what Lan Siyue did was heartbreaking, she was her biological daughter after all.

After ten months of pregnancy, the flesh that fell from her body.

Today happens to be her birthday.

Zhao Xiumei thought that maybe it was her daughter who wanted to celebrate her birthday.

At Zhao Xiumei's age, she has actually become indifferent to fame and fortune. The only thing she wants is for her two daughters to be safe and for the family to live in harmony.

Lan Siyue still remembered her birthday and was willing to come and celebrate her birthday, which made Zhao Xiumei feel a little soft-hearted.

Neither Xu Ying nor Lan Xinya objected to Zhao Xiumei's decision to let Lan Siyue in.

The two also thought that Lan Siyue should be here to celebrate her birthday.

Xu Ying was resentful towards Lan Siyue and didn't really want to see her.

But then again, today is Zhao Xiumei's birthday, and as a daughter, Lan Siyue couldn't say anything when she came to celebrate her mother's birthday.

At the same time, Ms. Xu Ying had made up her mind that when she saw Lan Siyue, she would not treat her well, nor would she embarrass her. She would just ignore her.

Lan Xinya was both disappointed and angry with her sister. She liked someone else behind Chen Mo's back and even cut off relations with her parents...

These things have completely weakened the sisterhood between her and Lan Siyue.

However, today is her mother's birthday. The fact that Lan Siyue came to celebrate her mother's birthday shows that she still has some conscience.

Since Zhao Xiumei asked Lan Siyue to come in, Lan Xinya naturally would not object.

Zhao Xiumei's sisters would not express any opinions.

.........

A moment later, the nanny came in with Lan Siyue.

Lan Siyue's appearance surprised everyone.

She looked very haggard, with lingering fatigue in her eyes, her face looked thin and her complexion was a little pale.

This kind of white is not the kind of white that comes from fair skin, but a kind of paleness as if one is sick.

Her originally smooth long hair also looked a little dry.

And her red and swollen eyelids, you can tell at a glance that this is caused by crying.

Lan Siyue can be said to have made sufficient preparations for today's big show.

Her face was already thin from hunger, and in order to arouse more sympathy, she put on makeup to make it look even more haggard.

The paleness of the face, again due to makeup, creates the effect of looking like an illness.

As for the red and swollen eyelids, it was because she cried on purpose before coming here.

Everything she did was to make her parents feel sorry for her after seeing her.

And her careful preparation did pay off.

"You...how did you become like this?"

Zhao Xiumei looked at her daughter, her eyes slightly moist.

How come this child has become like this after not seeing him for a while?

As a mother, what she hates most is to see her child suffer.

Lan Siyue's haggard appearance instantly made Zhao Xiumei feel distressed.

It was clearly a jewel that had always been held in my hands, but now it had become like this.

In an instant, Zhao Xiumei's mind unconsciously emerged that Lan Siyue had not been eating well and sleeping well during this period...

Not only Zhao Xiumei, but others also felt the same way when they saw Lan Siyue.

"Ah~"

Xu Ying looked at Lan Siyue and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Ying did not sympathize with Lan Siyue's current condition, but he did not gloat over her misfortune either.

After all, he is the child I have watched grow up.

Lan Siyue looked like she hadn't been having a good time recently.

In this regard, Xu Ying could only say in his heart: If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

If she hadn't fallen in love with someone else...

Then she should definitely not suffer.

Lan Xinya couldn't help but pursed her lips when she looked at Lan Siyue's expression.

Lan Siyue looked so haggard, and as her elder sister, she felt bad too.

However, thinking of what Lan Siyue had done, Lan Xinya could not forgive her.

As for Zhao Xiumei’s friends, they are all considered Lan Siyue’s aunts.

They need to hear something about Lan Siyue's affairs.

Now looking at the girl who used to call them "Auntie" all the time, now looking so haggard, they looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Lan Siyue glanced at Xu Ying without reacting, but when she saw Lan Xinya and Lan Leyi, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

She felt that it was this mother and daughter who stole Chen Mo's love for her.

However, she remembered the purpose of her coming here, so the resentment in her eyes was quickly hidden.

"Mom~"

Lan Siyue's tears came quickly. She walked quickly to Zhao Xiumei's side, hugged her and started crying:

"Woooooo~"
