"I… I'm fine. I was worried about Mom, so I went back to make some herbal soup. I tried it myself and might have drank too much."
Lan Anran couldn't explain the real reason for the medicine in her blood, so she could only lie.
"You silly child, should you test medicine so easily? Don't do that again. Your mom is not well and would be upset if you fell ill too," Lan Tingyun reprimanded.
"I know, Dad. I'm sorry for making you worry," Lan Anran said obediently.
"How is Mom?"
"Don't worry, Yanran is watching her, there won't be any problem at the moment," Lan Tingyun comforted her.
At this point, no news was the best news.
Suddenly…
Lan Tingyun's phone rang, it was Lan Yanran who called. His heart tightened. Did something happen to Yueru?
He became anxious.
"Yanran, what's wrong? Did something happen to Mom?" Lan Tingyun asked anxiously.
"Nothing, Mom is great! The doctor said she can be transferred to the normal ward."
Lan Tingyun cried out in joy, "Really? That's great!"
Lan Tingyun was overjoyed, he hung up and hugged Lan Anran happily.
"Anran, your mom can be transferred to the normal ward!"
"That's great! Hurry over to see her, the drip is about to finish, hurry!"
Lan Anran was overjoyed as well, she didn't know the fennel herb would be so useful. 5 billion yuan for her mother's life was a worthy deal!
Lan Tingyun nodded and ran towards the main section of the hospital and the entire journey, he was convinced that bringing Anran back was the right decision. She wasn't a jinx, she was a lucky star!
Li Yueru successfully transferred to the normal ward, but she was still in a coma.
"What happened? Why was it so sudden?"
Lan Tingyun found it odd, but he was still very happy.
"I don't know, it's considered a miracle. Originally, Mrs. Lan's organs were failing, but during the inspection just now, we found everything normal and even stronger than before. This is really a medical miracle!" the doctor exclaimed.
"That's great, thank you."
Lan Tingyun shook his hand to express his gratitude.
"Dad, Sis was right, Mom is definitely going to get better."
Now, Lan Yanran trusted Lan Anran even more, it was simply an obsession.
Lan Tingyun nodded happily and said, "Now that your mom's alright, hurry to school and take a day off for your sister."
"Alright, Dad."
...
Rong City University.
Due to Anran's absence, the gossip wheel started to spin in class.
Some said that she was playing truant to get married, while some said that she found the classes too difficult and decided not to come. Others said that she was afraid of the competition against Sun Hui and had gotten herself caught for a crime.
Of course, all these rumours came from Lan Yaxin and her gang of friends. They began spreading across the school.
"Yaxin, your sister wasn't here for the first half of the day, will she really be missing the second half as well?"
Her good friend, Gu Qiu laughed.
She was like a loudspeaker in the school, there wasn't any gossip in the school that she didn't know. Of course, the gossip usually had something to do with her.
"I don't know, Sis has always been wilful, but I wouldn't know what she is up to. The lessons in the experimental class are indeed tougher than the ordinary class and the workload is heavy. Perhaps she couldn't take it…" Lan Yaxin said innocently, but deep inside, she wished Lan Anran would never come back.
"Yaxin, I heard that Sun Hui from class one is going to compete against her in the Pharmacy Competition. Lan Anran will have to leave the experimental class if she loses while Sun Hui will have to clean all the toilets in the entire block for a month if she loses," her other good friend, Yang Qing, said.
She had always liked Lan Yanran even though she was one term older than him. As the saying goes, it's a blessing to marry an older woman if she likes younger guys. But the fact that Lan Anran was his sister was annoying: she was both pretty and arrogant. She hated boastful women.
"That's hilarious. Do you think Lan Anran can win the competition? Seems like she's going to lose this time. Did she deliberately skip school because she is afraid of embarrassing herself?"
Gu Qiu laughed.
Lan Yaxin shook her head and smiled in silence.
She doesn't know her own abilities!
She thinks she can win a competition just because she is pretty, but it isn't a beauty pageant. She's going to end up embarrassing herself when the time comes!
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Lan Yanran is here! The hunk is so handsome!"
Yang Qing was so excited that she ran out to look. Lan Yanran really came out of the teacher's office.
"What is he doing here?" she asked curiously.
"Lan Anran seems to be sick and he's here to take the day off. I heard that their mom is sick and she is also sick," the people that just came out of the teacher's office said.
