Chapter 186 - Insatiable Greed

Chapter 186: Insatiable Greed

Lan Tingyi’s house.

It was the first time Lan Tingyi had gone to work since he was released from prison, but he slept until noon.

“Tingyi, you’re supposed to be working today, why are you still sleeping?” Xu Yanshan said in dissatisfaction.

He was late on his first day of work and yet, he was a leader?

“It’s alright. Tingyi slept late playing games last night, so let him sleep a little longer. Anyway, it’s your brother’s company, so your brother wouldn’t say anything either.”

Zhao Xiumei had always spoiled her eldest son and was worried about his health. Xu Yanshan couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled the blanket up.

“That won’t do, even the workers below have to be disciplined. Hurry and get up!”

“Honey, you’re right. I’ll get up now, it’s time to go to work.”

Lan Tingyi smiled.

“Today is the first day you’re working, you have to maintain a good image. If you don’t make it, come back and let your brother find another job for you. You’re a former doctor, we can’t let ourselves suffer.”

Zhao Xiumei reminded him.

“Mom, don’t worry, Tingyi will definitely make it.”

Xu Yanshan smiled as she helped Lan Tingyi with his tie.

“Yeah, Lan Anran, that brat, should be back today. She would be furious if she found out that Tingyi is working in the hospital. She just doesn’t want Tingyi to do well, that bastard!”

Zhao Xiumei scolded in hatred.

“No matter how unwilling she is, Tingyi is there and she can’t do anything. Tingyi, let’s work hard and show that brat!”

Xu Yanshan swore.

Just then, Lan Tingyi’s phone rang again. It showed a familiar number and he picked it up impatiently.

“Old Wang, what do you want again? I’ve already transferred you a sum of money, are you done?”

“Brother Lan, the money last time was too little. I gave some to my mother and I gambled the rest. Give me some more,” Old Wang said shamelessly.

Every time he received money, Old Fifth Wang would be filial and give half of it to his mother. He wouldn’t touch his mother’s pension money, so the rest was his. He basically spent it on gambling.

“You won’t be satisfied no matter how much I give you! How can you be so shameless? You didn’t accomplish what I asked you to do and now you dare to come and extort me? You colluded with Lan Anran to deceive me. I haven’t settled this score with you. If you make me anxious, we will perish together!”

Lan Tingyi gritted his teeth.

“Brother Lan, don’t be angry. I’m a bachelor, I don’t have children, I only have one mother. At worst, I’ll be sent to the community welfare center. You have your wife, child, and a mother. Will you perish with me? You enjoyed your prison sentence? Just give me the money obediently and I won’t disturb you anymore. You gave me too little the last time. You were basically sending away a beggar. If you’re tired of me, I can leave now. I won’t care if the police come looking for you later.”

Old Wang smiled arrogantly and Lan Tingyi was furious.

“You win!”

Old Wang smiled.

“Hurry, they’re waiting to play mahjong.”

Lan Tingyi hung up, his face furious.

“Tingyi, that won’t do. We’re just using money to shut him up,” Zhao Xiumei frowned and said.

“What can I do? I don’t want to go to jail!”

Lan Tingyi transferred over another 10,000 yuan as he spoke and Xu Yanshan felt the pinch.

“Mom, I think it must be that brat Lan Anran. Ask her out alone and have a good talk. Let’s see if we can resolve this peacefully.”

Xu Yanshan didn’t want to waste money every day.

“Okay, I understand. Yaxin is getting better too, let her go to school.”

Zhao Xiumei nodded.

“Sure.”

Xu Yanshan nodded and looked at Lan Yaxin, feeling heartbroken.

….

After Lan Anran returned home for a short rest, she started to investigate the exam. This time, someone had deliberately made things difficult for her. She couldn’t let him off.

At this moment, Lan Anran received a call from Zhao Xiumei.

“Come out, I want to talk to you.”

Zhao Xiumei spoke unceremoniously.

“We have nothing to talk about. Grandma, if you’re very free, think about how to get the house back or how to shut Old Wang up. I’m unfilial and don’t have time to talk to you.”

After Lan Anran hung up the phone, she started to look up the question setter on the Internet. This time, the test paper was set by someone from the Rong City Medical Research Institute, so Lan Anran directly hacked into the Rong City Medical Research Institute’s intranet. She flipped through the latest information and sure enough, she found out that the question setter was Jin Lin!

The last time she saw him, he was still very enthusiastic about her and even said that he would be waiting to enter directly. Even if it was to test her and give her a difficult test, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.

It seemed like there were still people behind him that didn’t want her to enter.

After that, Lan Anran checked the Rong City Medical Research Institute’s financial records. There was quite a bit of investment from the Mo Corporation and it seemed she would have to ask Mo Jinrong again.

The next day, Lan Anran went to school as usual and Zhao Xiumei was waiting at the door.

Lan Anran saw Zhao Xiumei from afar, but she didn’t go forward to welcome her. Instead, she deliberately stood far away and stared at her intently.
