Chapter 32: Back to the Lan family
Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan who had a cold face after hanging up the phone, she didn’t dare to say anything, she knew Dean Lan was very angry now, she didn’t dare to mess with this big brother.
Dean Lan had a bad feeling in his heart, his mother never called him to come home on her own initiative.
Dean Lan did not go home for a day or two, at first his mother would call him to ask him to come home, but then she stopped calling and came back whenever she liked.
Dean Lan suddenly thought: Could it be that Charmaine Qiu is back? Dean Lan did not know why he had such a thought.
Jeffrey stood a short distance away and observed the dynamic between Sansa Ran and Dean Lan. He noticed that after Dean Lan answered the phone, the two stopped talking to each other and Jeffrey guessed that the phone call might be the cause.
Jeffrey thought it was time for him to step in. Jeffrey bounced back to his seat and said, “Mom and Dad, why aren’t you eating? Come on, eat! I’m starving to death.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Dean Lan looked at Jeffrey with a doting face, stroked his head and said, “Eat if you’re hungry!”
Sansa Ran looked at Dean Lan with a magical look, it seems that Dean Lan is not cold only when facing Jeffrey. sansa Ran didn’t know why she had a warm feeling in her heart, if she really lived with Dean Lan, the two children would be very happy.
Dean Lan noticed that Sansa Ran kept staring at him with one movement. He was a little embarrassed and turned his eyes to Sansa Ran and said, “What are you looking at me for?”
Sansa Ran was pulled back to his thoughts by Dean Lan’s voice and was a little startled for a moment: “Uh … nothing … just … ”
Jeffrey was amused by Sansa Ran’s hand and foot, laughing: “Mom, must be attracted by Dad’s handsome appearance, look fascinated, too funny!”
“You little brat, aren’t you hungry? You can’t even stop your mouth from eating.” Sansa Ran said and pinched Jeffrey’s little face.
“Hmph! I’m the one who got it right, O mommy! You’re just not honest.” Jeffrey’s speech was a little slurred as Sansa Ran pinched his mouth.
After dinner, Sansa Ran and Dean Lan walk Jeffrey out of the Western restaurant and Dean Lan asks Jeffrey, “Are you full yet?”
“I’m full, Daddy, thank you for treating us to dinner.”
Dean Lan called the driver, opened the car door and said, “Get in.”
Sansa Ran just hated Dean Lan’s condescending look, shook her head and said, “No, we’ll go back by ourselves, we don’t need you to drive us.”
Jeffrey followed Sansa Ran while turning back to Dean Lan and said, “Dad, just go home first!”
Dean Lan smiled at Jeffrey and got into his car and left.
When Sansa Ran and Jeffrey got home, Sansa Ran’s cell phone rang. Sansa Ran took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be a video call from Justin.
Sansa Ran picked up the phone, “Justin, do you miss your mommy?”
“Yes, Justin misses mommy so much! Now I just want to stay by my mom’s side and not go anywhere.”
“Mommy misses Justin too, how are you doing? Have you been eating well? Have you been sleeping well …”
“Mom, you’re asking so many questions, I don’t know which one to answer. I’m eating well and sleeping well! Don’t worry too much about me.”
“That’s good, mom is still worried about you! You’re not with me.”
“Okay! Mom, I have something to say to Jeffrey, please pass the phone to Jeffrey.”
Sansa Ran was speechless when she heard that, this Justin, who hadn’t seen me for a long time, stopped talking after just a few words, sad.
But Sansa Ran still obediently gave the phone to Jeffrey.
Jeffrey, of course, knew what Justin wanted to say to him and sneaked back into the room and closed the door properly.
Sansa Ran had a strange look on her face: “These two kids are up to something behind my back, so secretive, even I have to hide from them!”
“Jeffrey, mom is not with you, right?”
“No, what do you want to ask?”
“What else can I ask? How are things going with your dad and mom, of course? I heard you say before that it seems like dad and mom are always fighting?”
“A few days ago, they had a fight too. But also immediately reconciled, mom seems to do not want to have too much anxiety with dad, today also almost make dad angry.”
“Mom, this person really does not let people worry about …”
Justin heart a burst of anxiety, he and Jeffrey is very hope that dad and mom together, their family of four people and beautiful life, now mom a person without energy, how can this work?
“Justin, don’t think so, I’ve been here for so many days, I know why mom is like this, dad is the president of Lan’s Group, it seems like grandma doesn’t like mom, so …”
“So that’s how it is, ugh! Then this might be a bit difficult. Then what is dad’s attitude towards mom? Does dad hate mommy too?”
“No, I see that dad likes mom, dad is a better understanding person, look at the whole person cold, but anything can be seen from dad’s eyes.”
“Since daddy likes mommy it’s okay! You still have to keep a close eye on mom and dad and tell me if there’s anything.”
“I know! You’re the one who still has endless worries about not being around mommy.”
Jeffrey and Justin smiled at each other, and Justin learned what he wanted to know and had nothing more to say, so he hung up the phone.
Jeffrey came out of the room and gave the phone back to Sansa Ran, who asked with a curious look on her face, “What did you two brats say?”
“Nothing, it’s a little secret between the two of us, we can’t tell mom.”
“Humph! Even if you don’t tell me, I don’t want to know yet!” Sansa Ran felt that the two children were isolating her a bit and played a childish temper.
Jeffrey just looked at Sansa Ran and smiled. He knew Sansa Ran was doing this on purpose to gain his sympathy, and Sansa Ran knew Jeffrey had a softer heart than Justin.
The next day, Dean Lan reluctantly returned to Lan’s house, and as expected he was right, it was really Charmaine Qiu who had returned.
As soon as Dean Lan entered the door, Charmaine Qiu ran to the door to greet Dean Lan with a smile on her face: “Brother Lan, you’re back?”
Dean Lan, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, “Well, where is my mom?”
“You’re back? You’re a busy man, if I don’t call you won’t come back?” Dean Lan’s mother came to Dean Lan with a cold face.
“I’m not back?”
Charmaine Qiu, sensing that the atmosphere between this mother and son was a bit awkward, immediately stood between the two and said, “Auntie, Brother Lan is not easy to come home, so don’t miss him!”
Dean Lan changed his slippers and came in. Charmaine Qiu put her arm around Dean Lan and said, “Brother Lan, Man Man misses you so much!”
