Chapter 212: Affection and Filial Piety
Cangyun Anping County, Lanfu.
Mu Zhiyu and the others gathered in the front hall of the Lan Mansion, because Mu Zefeng won the competition in the ring but wanted to regret the marriage, the Lan Yuanwai insisted on not letting them go, and had no choice but to come to discuss the solution.
Because Chu Muchen had a few encounters with Lan Ling'er two years ago, not only had he heard of it, but he had also personally experienced Lan Linger's indifferent, face-turning, and disrespectful nature, and he was convinced that she hated men.
Now seeing her facing Mu Zefeng's abnormality, it was really incredible, and after sitting for a long time, she couldn't understand it, so she raised her eyebrows at Lan Ling'er and asked: "Everyone in Anping County knows that your Miss Lan hates men very much, and she is indifferent to a beautiful man like this son, and now she only sees this black-bellied man, and she agrees." My son is really puzzled, and I ask Miss Lan to solve my doubts. ”
Lan Ling'er was very disgusted and despised Chu Muchen at the beginning, and felt that a rich boy like him who would only look at the little girl with peach blossoms in his eyes was just a romantic child, although it was not like beating him once, it was almost the same.
However, every time he was cynical and uninhibited, he was never truly frivolous. She could see that he was just a romantic man on the surface, but his heart was actually pure and kind, which was completely different from those real evildoers. But she has never liked contact with men, so she has always spoken ill of him.
Now seeing that he has a close relationship with Mu Zefeng and others, the previous hostility has completely disappeared. Listening to his question, he saw that Lan Yuanwai also looked at her with a puzzled gaze, and after thinking for a while, he slowly explained the reason.
Lan Ling'er's sudden change in temperament when she was six years old is actually for a reason.
Lan Ling'er had a good friend who talked about everything when she was a child, but when she was six years old, the little girl who was only one year older than her fell ill with an incurable disease and stayed away from her.
She was depressed for a while, but when Mrs. Lan saw that she was immersed in grief all day, she took her to the temple to pray for blessings, hoping that she could come out of her grief as soon as possible. Outside the temple, Lan Ling'er met a strange Taoist leader.
The Taoist claimed to be able to spy on the heavens, not only to calculate all her things, but also to know why she was unhappy. Lan Ling'er felt confused about her life for a while, so she asked the Taoist chief what her life would be like in the future. What can she do to keep the people around her?
What the Taoist Master said made her feel ridiculous. She is not to show her smile to anyone until she meets the first man she has a crush on. She also said that one day in the future, her destined person would stand in front of her in white clothes, and at that moment, she would feel her heart racing, forget the time, forget her breath, and even forget herself.
Lan Ling'er didn't believe it, and she didn't take his words to heart. Gradually, she got over the pain of losing her best friend, and her life began to get back on track, but her mother died of illness and left her.
After experiencing the death of her dearest person again, she chose to believe the words of the Taoist chief and hid her smile from then on. From the deliberate hiding at the beginning, I slowly got used to the days when I didn't smile, and I began to forget how to smile. His temperament has also become more and more cold, and he has become more and more reticent.
Believing in her heart that her destined person had not yet arrived, she would reject contact with any man, and even say a word that would bore her. In order to get rid of those pesterers around her, she learned martial arts to protect herself, and if she was upset, she would do it directly.
Over time, her reputation became worse and worse, and no man dared to approach her, and she was already past the age of marriage, but no one came to her door to ask for marriage. Lan Yuanwai couldn't bear to let her daughter die alone, so she came up with a way to recruit relatives in a martial arts competition to choose a good son-in-law for her. The Lan family has a big business, and everything in the future will belong to the daughter and son-in-law, because of this, someone will definitely come to compete.
And Lan Ling'er didn't object, she planned to let them retreat in the end, no matter who wins, but she never thought that she really ushered in a man who made her heart move, and he was dressed in white.
After listening to Lan Ling'er's words, Chu Muchen was dumbfounded, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground, which was too speechless. The Taoist priest was obviously deceiving people, and he made up such a ridiculous reason, and he had never heard such a ridiculous thing that he could keep the people around him without laughing.
However, this Lan Ling'er is not stupid, maybe she has never walked out of sadness from the depths of her heart, so her temperament is so gloomy. Those so-called strengths are just a kind of cover for herself. Thinking of this, he put away the cynical expression on his face, and looked at Lan Ling'er with more respect in his eyes.
Mu Zefeng frowned when he heard this, his eyes were obscure, and when he looked at Lan Ling'er again, there seemed to be something more complicated in his eyes, pity?
Ling Feng and the others were all solemn, they didn't feel funny, at most they felt a kind of sympathy and helplessness for Lan Ling'er.
Mu Zhiyu frowned for a moment, and said slowly: "As Miss Lan grows older, I am afraid that she already knows that the words of that Taoist priest are not credible, but she still chooses to do so, is she holding on to something?" ”
Lan Ling'er said indifferently: "When a person has been disguised for too long, he will be affected by it and slowly adapt to everything he is currently doing. Although the Taoist priest was lying in vain, he also gave me a kind of sustenance when I was young, he made me believe that the people around me could exist completely because of me, and my only hope at that time was that my father could stay by my side forever, instead of quietly leaving me like my mother and sisters. ”
Lan Yuanwai was already in tears at this time, he never knew that his daughter, who was only six years old at the time, could endure and give up her own happiness for the sake of the people around her, even if she knew that it was just an unrealistic dream.
And now, those are no longer important, and he will do everything in his power to keep the only man his daughter has a crush on.
"Mu Gongzi, no matter what others think of the little girl, in the old man's heart, she is a treasure, and she is a person that the old man is willing to do everything to protect her. Everything Ling'er did was because she was the most affectionate and filial person, and the old man didn't know the reason why Mu Gongzi refused this family business, so please make it clear. ”
Mu Zefeng's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he muttered: "Miss Lan is a rare good girl, and she is also very appreciative and pitiful. It's just that after all, I met Miss Lan for the first time, and it's too early to talk about marriage. ”
Lan Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she said to Mu Zefeng: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, and Ling'er understands it very well. I am willing to get to know each other with my son first, and if I finally feel that Ling'er is not your ideal partner, I will no longer entangle you. I wonder if Childe is willing to give me this opportunity? ”
"Big brother, Miss Lan has a bold temperament, dares to love and hate, everyone else has said so, if you refuse again, won't it seem a little unkind?"
Mu Zhiyu said with a smile, looking at Lan Ling'er, she really didn't want to see her eldest brother miss such an excellent woman, and if she didn't say anything else, she would destroy her reputation with her, just waiting for the arrival of the destined man in her heart, and this firmness made her admire.
Happiness is given by oneself, life is one's own, like oneself, sometimes you don't need to take into account the eyes of others, just do things according to your heart. At this point, Lan Ling'er has similarities with herself, and she can't help but feel sorry for her, and she also admires her. (To be continued.) )
