Chapter 5 Escape from the Cage (2)

Halfway through the night, Huo Yan left, like the silhouette of the judge who was closing the pending case.

　　When the luxury car at the door drove away and disappeared into the night like a stone sinking into the sea, the tight rope around his heart finally relaxed.

　　Instead, what landed on Lan Su was the overwhelming jealousy from the entire Lan family.

　　Lan Haotian is on the thin side. When he stares, the veins on both sides of his eyebrows bulge and jump, making him look like an alien in a science fiction movie.

　　"You did a good job!"

　　he scolded.

　　Lan Su seemed unable to hear his words, and slowly stood up from the chair. The hem of her long skirt fell and swept across the floor, making a rustling sound.

　　Having been the swordsman of the Lan family for 11 years, her body has a sense of uprightness, thin and thin, but it contains the explosive power of a cheetah that can tear people into pieces at any time. Coupled with his height of 168cm, when he stood up, he completely looked down at Lan Haotian, who was blowing his beard and staring at him on the sofa.

　　She moved her lips:

　　"Father must be tired after working hard all night."

She looked at Lan Haotian, then seemed to penetrate his soul and looked behind his body.

　　The light shone on her face, carving out the straight bridge of her nose, and the lines of her lips became clear at that moment.

　　"From now on, I am the second young lady of the Lan family."

　　Lan Hao gasped for air, and his raised fingers trembled:

　　"When did you hook up with Huo Yan? You dared to plot against me with outsiders, what a big fight! You thought your wings were strong, didn't you! You thought you could get rid of the Lan family, didn't you?"

　　Lan Su's eyes were indifferent, still looking at him like that, focusing on the back of the sofa:

　　"Lan Su doesn't dare. However, everything has become a foregone conclusion now. Who Huo Yan is, my father knows better than me."

　　Just now, Huo Yan left and said:

　　"I'll pick you up in a month."

　　What was even more subtle was that after Huo Yan went out, her assistant warned her word by word:

　　"Please also ask Mr. Lan to take good care of the second lady. If anything goes wrong, Mr. Huo will be angry."

　　In other words, if something happened to Lan Su, the entire Lan family would probably be trampled into ruins by this Jade Yama.

　　Lan Haotian didn't dare to fight against the Huo family.

It was precisely because he didn't dare that he hated Lan Su, the "sword" who had regarded his words as an imperial edict since childhood.

　　"You! You're using her to hold me down now, aren't you! You--"

　　Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lan Su lightly:

　　"——It's getting late. I'm going to take care of the wound, and my father should go to bed early."

　　After saying this, she carried her skirt upstairs.

　　As before, the steps going upstairs were very light and silent. Like all poor people who depend on others, they minimized their sense of existence.

　　The difference was that the spine, which was always arched, stood straight, as if someone was holding it behind with hands.

　　That scene stung the eldest lady Lan Shan.

　　Because she discovered that this Lan Su, who had never entered her eyes, was so elegant and tenacious that people could not forget it.

　　----------------------------------------

　　In the past two days, everyone in the Lan family has been digesting the fact that "Lan Su has become the second lady."

Lan Haotian finally came to his senses and knocked on Lan Su's door as the head of the family.

　　No more anger, no more accusations, no more scolding.

　　Instead, he was just as flattering as he was when facing Huo Yan.

　　"Xiao Su, how is the wound? Does it still hurt?" The old eyes smiled into slits.

　　Lan Su traveled all over the country and saw this kind of expression a lot. Many times, people who smile on the surface may not be smiling on the inside.

　　Knowing that he was not interested in drinking, Lan Su responded perfunctorily:

　　"I'm much better after applying medicine."

　　"It's better."

　　Lan Haotian sat on the single sofa opposite and used a consultative tone when talking to Lan Su for the first time:

　　"In two days, when the cut on your arm is healed, let's go for a scar removal surgery all over your body. Your hair will also be transplanted, and the calluses on the back of your hands will also be removed. As for me, I have already asked someone to do it for you. Let's buy clothes. Second lady, you have to look like second lady."

　　He suddenly did so much, so he certainly didn't really want to help Lan Su.

Lan Su listened quietly and did not answer. Sure enough, Lan Haotian's purpose was revealed in the next sentence.

　　"If Huo Yan discovers your identity, you may not be able to explain it. It doesn't matter how you are, but don't forget that your sister is still in the hospital."

　　Lan Su's eyes narrowed, and a look of cruelty flashed across his pale face: "Are you threatening me?"

　　Lan Haotian continued to smile, grinning and showing teeth yellowed by smoke:

　　"It's not a threat, it's a reminder. If your identity is exposed, you can't run away, and the Lan family can't run away. If the Lan family is gone, no one will care about your sister."

　　A snake crawls in the depths of the tropical rainforest, hiding under the dark and damp leaves and spitting out letters, looking for prey that has wandered the wrong way. If someone makes a mistake and is caught by him and bites him, the venom will penetrate into the blood along the wound and spread all over the body.

　　Lan Su still has weaknesses.

　　----------------------------------------

　　In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Lan Su underwent scar removal surgery all over his body, except for the one that saved Huo Yan. Many thick calluses on the hands and feet were scraped off, leaving a thin layer of skin. In order to reflect the sick beauty body that had been "sleeping for many years", she had her whole body whitened. Her short hair that originally reached her shoulders was tied to her waist, making her look like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

She was going to an appointment as an actor. There was no NG, no script, and no chance to look back and take one scene to the end.

　　As for the audience, they were Jade Yama Luo and Huo Yan in the black car slowly parked at the gate of the Lan family.

　　The second time I saw Huo Yan, my feelings were not much different from the first time.

　　She was sitting in the back seat of the car. Wearing a gray-blue lapel coat over a black shirt, it is neither thick nor thin, but quite textured. It hangs along the body to the feet and above the pedals of the wheelchair.

　　Lan Su looked at the hem of the clothes and wondered if the dust raised when the wheelchair turned would stain the light-colored clothes.

　　But as he looked at it, his eyes involuntarily slid down to the slender ankles exposed in the wide-leg pants.

　　To be specific, the ankle bone.

　　A small ball is raised, delicate, porcelain white, delicate, like a pearl.

　　Pity.

Lan Su thought to himself.

　　Such a beautiful pair of feet, such beautiful ankle bones, cannot walk.

　　"Mr. Huo."

　　She greeted them politely and responsibly, even imitating the rich ladies she had met when going out for projects in recent years, nodding slightly when greeting distinguished people.

　　Huo Yan turned his head to look at her and looked her over from head to toe. After not seeing each other for a month, Lan Su became much more natural.

　　My previous makeup was too delicate, and I always had the illusion of a female star walking on the red carpet. Today's makeup is very light, with only eyebrows and lip gloss on top of the base makeup.

　　So does the hair. When I looked at that little round head before, I thought she either had less hair or had short hair. When I look at it today, my black hair hangs down to my waist, and the volume is more than I expected. I already have a fluffy top of my hair without styling it.

　　"Come up."

she says.

　　So, Lan Su picked up the skirt of her skirt, bent down and stepped on it.

　　The renovated back row only has a single seat, and the remaining space is reserved for Huo Yan's wheelchair. Lan Su naturally sat on the single seat next to him.

　　It was not easy to sit next to Huo Yan. It was obviously just a simple position, but on the side next to her, from shoulder to heel, there was an inexplicable coldness. Like smoky dry ice, it rolls around the skin, eroding into the pores bit by bit, gnawing at the bones.

　　Lan Su felt a little uncomfortable and moved to the outside, facing outward, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.

　　This action was originally silent, but Huo Yan caught it from the corner of his eye.

　　Her fiancée feels alienated from her.

　　This didn't anger her at all. On the contrary, she felt quite good about it.

　　My last wife talked too much and was too curious. As a result, she died less than half a year after getting married.

Lan Su is very good at reading, and he is also the most responsible person among all the Lan family members he has met so far.

　　When he spoke again, his tone softened a little: "Do you know where you are going?"

　　"Um."

　　Lan Su looked at the crystal-like dewdrops condensed on the rose petals in the garden outside the car window, and said in a clear voice:

　　"Civil Affairs Bureau."

　　When they met for the second time, they were going to get the certificate.
