Chapter 834: Don’t Think Too MuchLan Tian didn’t even bother to retort. She coughed so hard that Lan Jun and Madam Lan rushed over. “Tiantian, how are you?”

Mother Meng wanted to cover her nose in disdain, but when she thought of her purpose for coming today, she controlled herself.

“I’m fine. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough…” Lan Tian secretly winked at her parents.

Madam Lan thought of the phone call Lan Tian had made to her before she came back and felt more confident. She couldn’t control her acting. “Quick, sit down. Tiantian, my poor daughter, why has her condition worsened again? Why is it so serious?”

“What’s going on with Tiantian?” Mother Meng asked nervously.

“I… I’m fine…” Lan Tian said weakly.

Shi Jin stood at the side and said, “She’s been agitated every day and her condition has worsened. The doctor originally asked for her to be hospitalized. Now, there’s also a problem with her lungs. It might be contagious…”

Only then did Mother Meng notice that Shi Jin was even wearing a mask.

She immediately covered her nose. “This… Should we send her back to the hospital for observation? It’s not good for her health to walk around like this.”

“The doctor doesn’t have any usable medicine, and Tiantian is worried about Meng Yizhou. She wanted to come back to take a look,” Shi Jin said.

“No, there’s nothing to worry about me.: Meng Yizhou said immediately.

His attitude was actually very ambivalent. It wasn’t that he had no feelings for Lan Tian, but Lan Tian rarely responded to his feelings. Secondly, she was so ill and at risk of being contagious. Once he thought about his future life, he felt too stressed.

Father and Mother Meng also looked at each other and exchanged glances.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough…” Lan Tian kept coughing.

Suddenly, she picked up the tissue. There was a pool of blood on it. Madam Lan cried loudly. “Oh my, my daughter, my daughter… How did this happen?”

“Hurry, hurry to the hospital,” Mother Meng urged.

This way, they would have time to discuss their next move.

Lan Tian waved her hand. “No, we’re not going to the hospital. Auntie, Yizhou, are you here to, to, cancel, our, engagement?”

Mother Meng and Meng Yizhou looked at each other.

Their hearts were much more complicated than this.

Previously, when they found out that Lan Tian was sick, everyone did not think much of it. It just so happened that they were engaged. It would be great if they could have such a deep relationship with the Lan family in the future.

However, when they heard that Lan Tian’s condition affected her fertility, the Meng family started to complain.

After what happened last night, the Meng family still felt that they were unwilling to abandon Lan Tian and the Lan family. They still wanted to salvage the engagement.

Seeing how sick Lan Tian was and how contagious it was, the Meng family wanted to give up on this matter. No matter how big the Lan family’s business was, it was not as important as their lives. However, on the other hand, if they were to give up because Lan Tian was sick, it would not look good on them. If word got out in the future, it would affect the reputation of the entire Meng family.

For a moment, the family of three was in a dilemma.

“Are you here… to break… off our engagement?” Lan Tian asked miserably.

Meng Yizhou could not bear it so he said, “No, Tiantian, why would I cancel our engagement? I definitely won’t.”

Father and Mother Meng could only say, “No, no. Rest well and don’t think too much.”

“So can we get engaged right away?” Lan Tian asked.

Father and Mother Meng felt that they still needed time to discuss, but Meng Yizhou was already in this position. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Sure!”

Lan Tian took in his slight hesitation and their previous attitude.

And she knew that this was their family’s last stand. They didn’t want this, but they had to.

Lan Tian was secretly pleased.

Madam Lan frowned. When she met her daughter’s eyes, she could only say, “Then hurry up and prepare. You’ll get engaged in three days.”

When Father and Mother Meng left, their minds were still reeling. Why were they getting engaged three days later?

Mother Meng was very unhappy. “But Lan Tian is already so sick and it’s contagious…”

At the mention of contagion, she immediately found alcohol in the car and sprayed it wildly on the family of three.

Meng Yizhou said, “Mom, so be it. Anyway, I still have feelings for Tiantian.”

“But if it’s really contagious…” Mother Meng was really afraid. “You’re my only son. What should I do if something happens to you?”

“Well, while Tiantian is still fine, I’ll definitely try my best to be good to her and not let her suffer any grievances.” Meng Yizhou had already made up his mind. “… Besides, with her like this, I’m afraid…”

Mother Meng immediately sobered. “You mean she won’t live long? Then in the future, the Lan family’s business…”

When she thought about it, she felt that it was quite possible.

She wondered if it was worth the risk to do such a thing.

However, Meng Yizhou seemed to have made up his mind.

Madam Lan tugged at the blue sky. “Tiantian, why are you so silly? Why did you do this? I was still thinking of making them take the initiative to call off this marriage today.”

“Mom, do you think they want to call it off? For the sake of our family’s power, they won’t.” Lan Tian had grown overnight. She had seen through everything yesterday.“Then why rush into an engagement so early?”

“Don’t worry, Sis and I know what we’re doing.” Lan Tian winked. “Mom, Dad, let us play for a while. Anyway, I definitely won’t get engaged to Meng Yizhou. It won’t succeed.”

“Don’t mess around too much,” Lan Jun urged, though not stopping his daughter.

Lan Tian smiled. “Definitely!”

“Have you taken your medicine?” Madam Lan asked.

“I did,” Lan Tian said. “I took the medicine Sis gave me.”

Madam Lan did not trust Shi Jin’s medicine. After all, Lan Tian’s illness had come quickly and fiercely. It was only with the special medicine that she managed to control it. However, she was too embarrassed to say it in front of Shi Jin. She decided to talk to her daughter on WeChat later.

***

In the end, Meng Yizhou managed to get Tian Jinyuan out.

He had thought that with Lan Jun’s pressure, he would need to put in some effort. However, he did not expect it to be done so quickly and bring her out.

“Yizhou, I knew you would protect me.” Tian Jinyuan was touched to see him.

“Why did you do that to Lan Tian?”

“I… I just wanted to be with you. I didn’t really ask anyone to touch Lan Tian. I just wanted to scare her and take some photos of her so that I could threaten her with them in the future. I really didn’t want to hurt her.”

“Forget it. After you get out, leave quickly. Don’t do such a thing again.”
