433: Accidental Scapegoat

Accidental Scapegoat

Lan Jiaye wanted to retort that he was not running around, but looking for his girlfriend.1

He then thought about how his father would probably label him as going out to pick up girls if he said that. He would also be considered not being serious, so he could only shut his mouth begrudgingly.

When Lan Minghan heard his wife's words, he suddenly remembered what the host had mentioned in the livestream about the effect of this thing.

He said to the butler, "This is good stuff. The research institute might not even have a few pieces of it. Occasionally, you can add a few thin slices or frayed ends to make soup. You have to take good care of it."

The butler hurriedly agreed. He felt the weight of the box suddenly become heavier.

Lan Jiaye fixed his eyes on the ginseng, which was of excellent quality, and spontaneously found an excuse for Su Yayan. "Yanyan must have seen this in the livestream. She knew that it was expensive, so she specially bought it for Grandfather."

Yan Xiaoran's lips twitched and she thought to herself, 'It's really not as troublesome as you think. This thing is hers anyway.'

Madam Lan frowned slightly and scolded her son, "Who are you to call Yanyan? How rude."

Lan Jiaye, "…" She was the one who said that calling her Aunt made her old. That was why he called her that. In the end, he still got reprimanded. His parents must have picked him up somewhere!

Yan Xiaoran did not side him either. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mother, you, Father, and Grandpa and Grandma can rest assured now. It's obvious that Miss Su loves Uncle and cares about him. She knows that our family treats him well. That's why she gave such a precious gift to Grandpa."

"Just like what Minghan said just now, if she doesn't look happy, it's very likely that she's upset to hear Uncle Chenhuan being gossiped about by those gossipmongers. She can't help but feel sorry for Uncle and won't quarrel with him."

"That's good." Madam Lan finally sighed in relief. She thought to herself that Huo Chenhuan had been living a tough life all these years. If he could have someone who cared for him, his parents' would be happy for him in heaven.

At that time, Su Yayan, who had no idea that others had assumed that she was in a bad mood and was worried that she would argue with Huo Chenhuan, was indeed furious.

While she was angry, she could not help but feel heartbroken for the person beside her.

Huo Chenhuan noticed that she had been staring at him since they got into the car and asked in a low voice, "Is there something on my face?"

Su Yayan shook her head.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yayan shook her head again.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Su Yayan shook her head and nodded after a pause.

Huo Chenhuan laughed. "Is this good or bad?"

Su Yayan snorted and turned away.

Huo Chenhuan noticed that the smile on her face had disappeared and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Who made you unhappy?"

"No one. I just went with Young Madam Lan and overheard their gossip, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

Huo Chenhuan's face darkened when he heard these words. "What did they say?"

Su Yayan snorted and said unhappily, "They said that your Young Master Huo was handsome and poised back then. The girls who liked you almost broke the doors of your house trying to go after you."

Huo Chenhuan's expression stiffened. He didn't expect Su Yayan to bring this up. "Don't listen to their nonsense. Those… are all fake."

"Really? Why did I hear that a girl almost got engaged to you?"

"Engaged?" Huo Chenhuan was shocked. Which b*stard dared to spread rumors about him? Did he want to die?
