Chapter 143 - Confrontation With The Lan Family!?
The one who called them in such a shrill voice turned out to be one of the many daughters of the Lan Family concubines.
Mother Lan didn't even know her name properly and didn't even remember who she was.
But when she looked over, she saw another slightly old woman standing beside this haughty middle aged lady who called for her.
Mother Lan immediately recognised the slightly old lady to be her long seen mother.
Mother Lan's mother seemed quite old with gray hair on her head but the overly luxurious dress on her as well as the shiny jade ornaments on her body made it evident that she has been living a leisurely life in the Lan Family.
But Mother Lan only took one look at her before moving her attention from her as if she was a nobody.
Mother Lan's mother was at first a little guilty by suddenly seeing her long seen daughter but when she suddenly saw her not even nothing to take a longer look at her, she felt extremely humiliated as if a piece of trash who should have always bowed to her sudden became a proud swan who won't even bother with her anymore.
"Liu Shuishui hasn't changed much at all." That was the only thought in Mother Lan's mind before she shifted her gaze towards the person who she remembered more than the others.
Lan Haoming, Mother Lan's so called father who pretends to have a strict face while thinking of himself as the ideal Patriarch but in reality, he is just a sleazy old man who can't even keep his thing in his pants.
That is Mother Lan's assessment of her own father.
Many would think that suddenly encountering her family members, especially her father and mother like this, Mother Lan would become extremely emotional or maybe even have some faint hope for gaining father's love after all this time, like a scarred child but that only happens to weak people in a fairy tale.
Mother Lan is not a weak person nor is she an insufferable idiot who will still go back to become emotional and earn for her so called family.
After all these years of hardships and enduring the countless torture, Mother Lan's mind and heart and will which has always been far stronger than other people have now become an ironclad will that will not be shaken by any storm.
It could be said that she may have become weaker in her strength but mentally, very few can compare to her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Not to mention, after her daughter reversed the entire situation of her life and let have have such peaceful days in her life, even though slightest negativity in Mother Lan's heart have been completely healed.
Mother Lan has found true inner peace. For the current her, the people from her so called family are nothing but strangers or even the direct culprits who pushed her to the pits of hell.
At this point, There was not a single emotional fluctuations in Mother Lan's eyes which the people infront of her expected to see.
Seeing the look in mother Lan's eyes that seemed to not even recognise them as mere strangers, Lan Haoming and Liu Shuishui suddenly felt a trace of panic in their heart but that was soon frowned by their innate superiority as they looked at Mother Lan and Fengfeng with a condensing gaze.
At this point, Mother Lan and Fengfeng both noticed that the number of people infront of them seemed to have increased.
Mother Lan quickly identified the people ahead of her and found that most of the Lan Family members have come infront of the Qinfeng resturant where they were supposed to dine.
Many of their stronger disciples as well as their own guards have come and seemed to have surrounded them in a circle.
The people outside have also surrounded the Qingfeng building to watch the sudden show and couldn't help but gossip about what was going on.
Mother Lan knew finally that it was no mere coincidence that She suddenly happened to meet her family members.
She knew that they have come with an agenda.
But with the overwhelming numbers on their side, Mother Lan was a little helpless because her daughter wasn't here, otherwise not a single one of them would dare to confront them like this.
But she still didn't show any fear but only naked ridicule could be seen in her bright eyes as she waited for the show to begin.
At this point, a large crowd has gathered around them and all kinds of whispers could be heard,
"Hey hey hey... Whats happening here??"
"I don't know. But they seemed to be the Lan Family. All of their members have come here all of a sudden with their entire strength as well."
"What!! That Lan family? They are not that big of a family anyway, what are they making such fuss for?"
"Hey, I think I know those two women!! Isn't she Mo Yuxin's Mother and little sister!!"
"Oh!! Now that you mentioned it, yes!! They are!" Experience more tales on empire
Suddenly someone asked a question from the side which made everyone look at him like a fool,
"Who is Mo Yuxin??"
"Hiss!! Young man, are you a fool?? You don't know Mo Yuxin, the woman who suddenly came back as a strong foundation building cultivator and even eradicated the entire Mo family on the same day! Even the city lord was seen bowing down to her. Some even say that she has actually cultivated to golden core which even the city lord hasn't!!"
Another said,
"Haha.. if it weren't for her, those hundreds of victims of that vile Mo Futian would never have recieved justice."
Suddenly another person asked,
"But, why are the Lan family surrounding them like this??"
"Hmm... Don't you know that Mo Yuxin's Mother was actually once the genius daughter of the Lan Family. Alas, tha Patriarch is only regarded her as a marriage candidate and offered her up to Mo Futian back in the day."
"Sighh... What a pity, The Lan Family would have gone far beyond what they are now, had they treated her better. And even now when she herself didn't achieve much because of her misfortune, but her daughter has become such a huge power by herself. As they say, a pheonix can't give birth to a rooster."
After these two strange people said these in the crowd, the people all around immediately agreed and looked at Mother Lan and Fengfeng with a look of pity and understanding in their eyes.
Especially the women who knows the true hardships of life were even more sympathetic towards her.
But Mother Lan herself didn't feel pity for her because she knew who was in the right and who was in the wrong.
And even if all time has passed and her cultivation has stagnated making people believe that she will die without improving anymore, Mother Lan would definitely prove them all wrong.
At this time, Lan Haoming suddenly said in a pretentious and condensing tone,
"What are you? Why haven't you come back to the Lan family after all that?"
He was obviously referring to the fact that the Mo Family is no more and Mo Futian is dead.
But before Mother Lan could say anything, He immediately said again without even taking her seriously,
"Sigh... What an unfilial daughter. Come back to Lan family. You are now a widow, live the rest of your life in the Lan family and let your daughters come as well. After all, they are blood of the Lan family, how can they stay and live outside like stray dogs."
He said these words as if he was doing them a huge favour by granting them entrance to Lan Family. As if those countless days of torture she recieved because of his decision didn't even matter.
Mother Lan was silent for a few seconds giving the Lan Family members have an illusion that she was emotional for being able to come back to Lan family again but her next words shocked them all,
"No."
That simple words was said with a powerful momentum and such decisiveness that all the people present felt her firmness.
Suddenly hearing her words, Lan Haoming as well as many of the Lan family members immediately had an ugly face as they shouted immediately,
"You!! You don't know what's good for you!!"
"Hah!! You are just a useless widow now. But your two daughters are still of some value. Let them come and serve for the Lan Family. That is their destiny!"
As the other members were talking, Lan Haoming waved his hands to stop them and said to her,
"How dare you say no. You unfilial daughter. You have not only disgraced the name of Lan Family but now that your daughter has become so powerful, you don't even take your family in your eyes."
Lan Haoming was obviously a sly person, like a snake. He said these words in such a way that made people think that she was being ungrateful. His words really confused the right and wrong and...
