Xu Lan quickly hid her gun under the blanket and looked up to see the Xu Family’s butler, Uncle Luo, standing at the door.

He was 50 years old and had a kind heart.

Seeing Xu Lan curled up under the blanket, he could not help but ask worriedly, “Are you alright?”

Xu Lan shook her head. Her clothes were ruined under the blanket she was wrapped in. The autumn night wind swept in through the window and hit her, causing her to shiver.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the carriage. Occasionally, people would pass by.

The butler only stood at the door for a moment before closing it again.

Xu Lan heaved a sigh of relief and changed into the clothes in her bag.

The train arrived at the station that afternoon.

The Xu Family was very rich, but no one came to the bus station to welcome them.

The butler hailed a taxi by the roadside. Xu Lan sat in the back seat and looked at the tall buildings outside through the window.

These were all things that she had never seen in the countryside. To her, they were nothing more than a shelter.

When they arrived at the Xu Family home, there were two women sitting in the living room. One of them looked slightly older and was the Xu Family’s current madam, Li Meixiang. The other was younger and was her daughter, Xu Yan, the eldest daughter.

On the way here, the butler had shown her a picture of the family, so she could tell them apart.

“Madam, Eldest Miss is back.”

The butler led Xu Lan into the house and reported to Li Meixiang. Just as he was about to leave, he heard an eccentric voice coming from the sofa. “Eldest Miss? Tsk! Uncle Luo, are you blind?”

Xu Yan’s eyes were full of disdain as she slowly got up. She looked at him with a hint of disdain.

The butler could neither leave nor stay. Just as he was feeling troubled, someone came down from upstairs.

Dressed in blue checkered home clothes, he looked like a tramp.

Xu Lan glanced at him speechlessly.

This was her father whom she had never met in the past 18 years!

“Lan’er, you’re back.”

He went downstairs with a benevolent look on his face. Xu Lan only gave a soft hum and looked away.

He did not stay any longer, and just walked around the corridor to enter the living room.

“Auntie Zhang, bring Eldest Miss to her room first.”

He sat down on the sofa and instructed the servants.

Xu Lan went upstairs and tidied up her toiletries and clothes. She was about to lie down to rest when Auntie Zhang knocked on the door again.

“Missy, Sir is waiting for you downstairs. He said that he has something to announce.”

“Does it have anything to do with me? If not, I won’t be participating.”

Xu Lan sat up lazily on the bed without even looking up.

Auntie Zhang was a little helpless. After hesitating for a moment, she said, “Maybe it’s about the marriage alliance.”

Xu Lan looked up suddenly. Her pair of doe eyes were clear and intelligent.

“Who wants a marriage alliance?”

Her voice was no longer lazy, but it was clear.

Auntie Zhang could not continue and turned to leave the room.

Xu Lan thought for a moment and went downstairs without bothering to take her phone.

The family of three sat downstairs and looked at Xu Lan with disdain. However, Father Xu, who was flipping through the newspaper, did not seem to notice her.

“If you have something to say, just say it. I didn’t rest well on the train.”

Xu Lan went straight to the point. Li Meixiang glanced at her and looked at the TV again.

Xu Yan, who was sitting beside her, could not help but smirk. “Country bumpkin.”

Xu Lan was wearing the pajamas she had brought from the countryside. The material was silk, but the color was neutral and a little old.

However, this still could not conceal her peerlessly beautiful face, as well as her innate pride.

“It’s like this.”

Father Xu closed the newspaper and turned to Xu Lan, “Come over here.”

Xu Lan resisted and stood still.

“Speak your mind.”

This attitude made everyone present uncomfortable. However, no one dared to say anything.

After a moment of silence, Father Xu said in a serious tone, “The other party is six years older than you. He’s the eldest son in the family and has a younger sister that’s still underage.”

“He’s like the richest man in Li City, and is extremely powerful.”

“Since his family background is so impressive, why don’t you keep him for yourself?”

Upon hearing Xu Yan’s words, Xu Lan sneered.

Her face immediately turned green, and she said indifferently, “Of course I want to keep him. He was mine originally.”

The more Xu Lan listened, the more she felt that something was amiss, especially when Xu Yan stopped talking.

Before she could respond, Father Xu explained, “It’s like this, the two families will be meeting in a few days. Your sister got into a car accident, and her legs are a bit weak, so…”

“So you need me to replace the engagement alliance?”

Xu Lan turned to Xu Yan and glanced at her leg.

Father Xu nodded. He looked like he was in a difficult position, but Xu Yan looked pleased.

Xu Lan heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thinking about her dead grandmother, she decided to endure it for the time being.

It was fine to replace the engagement.
