President Wife is Pretty and Cool

Chapter 214: The Haunted House

“Wait a minute, Anran, don’t blame Grandma for being harsh on you just now, but there are some things I have to say. In the future, don’t go out alone so late, it’s not safe.”

Zhao Xiumei looked at Lan Anran kindly, as if she was very concerned, but in reality, her gaze was threatening.

Lan Anran was slightly taken aback.

“I might have woken Grandma from her sleep. I’ll be careful next time.”

“Why hasn’t Mo Jinrong come over recently? Girls should be more reserved.”

Zhao Xiumei smiled.

“Thank you for your concern, Grandma. You’re saying that women should be reserved, otherwise, they will be despised.”

Lan Anran’s words carried a deeper meaning, as if she was referring to Zhao Xiumei being the third party.

“You…”

“Mom, I’m so glad you care about Anran. Let’s go to bed.”

Lan Tingyun didn’t hear anything wrong and pushed Zhao Xiumei upstairs.

Upstairs, Lan Tingyun helped Zhao Xiumei settle down and closed the door. In the room, Zhao Xiumei kept having the feeling that something was staring at her, but she didn’t see anything when she looked around.

Suddenly!

The alarm startled Zhao Xiumei!

“That d*mn girl! She’s scaring me with that lousy clock every day!”

Zhao Xiumei smashed the clock onto the ground angrily!

She originally thought it would be peaceful, but a strange voice suddenly sounded in the room, frightening Zhao Xiumei so much that she didn’t dare to make a sound.

“What the hell!?”

Zhao Xiumei cursed.

There was silence again. She looked around vigilantly, but there was no one in the darkness, so she hurriedly turned on the light.

“Who is it?” she asked softly.

“Hahahaha!”

The laughter in the room entered Zhao Xiumei’s ears strangely. She felt like she was in a horror movie. Although she didn’t believe in supernatural phenomena, she was old and had illnesses. She couldn’t help but wonder if the Grim Reaper was here to take her life.

The more Zhao Xiumei looked, the more scared she got. She ran out of the room and sat in the living room.

“Mom, why didn’t you sleep?”

Lan Tingyun came out to check when he heard the noise.

“Ghost! Ghost!”

Zhao Xiumei shouted that there was a ghost in the room.

Lan Tingyun didn’t know what she was saying, but he went straight to Zhao Xiumei’s room and didn’t see anything.

“Mom, you heard wrong, nothing happened. You must be hallucinating. Let’s go back and sleep,” Lan Tingyun shouted.

“No, no, no! I’m not going back! It’s too scary!”

Zhao Xiumei was frightened.

“Then you can sleep in Yanran’s room tonight because he won’t be coming back.”

Lan Yanran was going to shoot a night scene, so he stayed in the hotel, which meant his room was empty for Zhao Xiumei.

Upstairs, Lan Anran watched everything with a smile. She had installed a voice changer in Zhao Xiumei’s room. Through computer control, it could produce different sounds, which were used to torture this old thing.

Zhao Xiumei walked unsteadily upstairs, but Lan Anran stood by the stairs, pretending to be concerned.

“Grandma, you don’t look well. Is your illness acting up?”

“Perhaps, your grandma is staying in Yanran’s room today.”

Lan Tingyun felt strange after sending Zhao Xiumei over. Was it a hallucination caused by stress from her illness?

Lan Anran returned to her room without a word or a smile.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the end of the semester exam. In order to ensure that the students did well, the school deliberately left a day without class, so that the students could revise properly. Hence, they had to revise all day.

“Lan Anran, come out for a moment!”

Lin Cheng sent a private message to Lan Anran through the class group.

Lan Anran didn’t want to talk at first, as she had made things clear with Lin Cheng last time. She didn’t expect him to still be unwilling to give up.

“This is the last time. We’ll talk it out and I won’t pester you anymore. Come to the third floor.”

Because of this, Lan Anran got up to look for him.

But when Lan Anran arrived, she didn’t see Lin Cheng, the entire third floor was empty.

“Anran, I’m on the second floor!”

Lin Cheng changed locations again. Lan Anran was puzzled and she followed.

“What exactly do you want?”

Lan Anran spoke impatiently.

“Nothing, I just want to chase you!”

Lin Cheng was very straightforward.

“Chase me? Lin Cheng, I didn’t kick your head. You want to chase me and ditch me? You want revenge? Your idea is too lousy, I don’t like it!”

Lan Anran saw through Lin Cheng’s thoughts.

“How did you know?”

Lin Cheng was a little surprised.

“Your acting is very poor. Let me tell you again, I don’t like you! Don’t pester me anymore.”

Lan Anran left after speaking.

Lan Yaxin had been watching Lin Cheng and Lan Anran from upstairs and had taken photos of them.

“Yaxin, this photo is very dull, you can’t tell anything from it.”

Yang Qing was dissatisfied.

“Don’t we have a mouth? Wouldn’t they be furious if we posted something on the forum?”

Gu Qiu thought.

“What about the test papers?”

Lan Yaxin refused to accept it. If she wanted Lan Anran’s evidence, she would have to go all out and ruin her.

“We will take action tonight. Don’t worry, I have checked that the Academic Affairs Office doesn’t have surveillance cameras and I know the passcode to the door. I secretly watched the Dean once. We will report her when we put the test papers under Lan Anran’s desk.”

Yang Qing looked at Lan Yaxin with a smile.
