Chapter 432: Chapter 434: Truths in a Mother-Daughter Conversation
Before even entering the hospital room, Zhang Lan’s somewhat dissatisfied voice could be heard from inside.
"I told you it’s not a big deal, and I can be discharged today. Why did you rush over here for nothing?"
Soon after, a woman’s voice, very soft and filled with deep concern, could be heard from the room.
"You’ve already been in the hospital for a whole day and night, and you say it’s nothing? They said if it weren’t for the family doctor over there doing emergency treatment, you... Xiao Lan, you might not be here anymore!"
"You ungrateful girl, you’re blaming me for coming!"
"Look at you, refusing to be the prestigious Zhang family’s young lady and insisting on being a tutor. If you weren’t tutoring, how would the drowning incident have happened?"
"Don’t you know your father’s temper? Although he said harsh words during the day, didn’t he make up with you over dinner that evening? You just had to go and tutor. Tell me, what exactly were you thinking?"
"Mom!"
Zhang Lan’s voice carried a hint of anger, though she was trying to suppress it.
"I want to be a tutor. What’s wrong with me liking to be a tutor? Do I have to spend every day doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun?"
"Something serious? Then why don’t you help your dad at the company!"
"I won’t go!"
"Then why are you talking about doing something serious?"
"Xiao Lan, are you hiding something from mom?"
"No, mom, don’t overthink it. I have my own ideas! I’m fine here, and they’ll probably come soon. You should go back; it’s best not to let them see you here!"
"Why is it bad for me to be here? I’m your mother, my daughter went through such a big ordeal and almost lost her life, and I’m not allowed to come and see? I’m not allowed to ask them what exactly happened?"
"Mom! I’ve told you, it has nothing to do with them. I just accidentally fell!"
"You fell on your own? Falling down yourself almost drowned you? You’ve been able to swim since you were five, and falling into a swimming pool almost drowned you?"
"Mom, keep your voice down!"
"I’ve told you I have my own plans, so why won’t you listen for once? Mom, to be honest, I want to keep working as a tutor over there. Also, don’t think I’m going back with you today. I’ve missed a few lessons in the past couple of days, so I’ll go back with them today to catch up on them."
"Xiao Lan, are you crazy? You’re in this condition, and you still want to teach?"
"When is that Miss Gu coming? I’ll wait right here and ask her. You’re in this state, and she’s still letting you tutor? What’s her motive?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tiantian felt there was no need to listen any further.
Adding to Huang Ruixin’s earlier seemingly casual remarks, how could she not understand by now?
Zhang Lan’s willingness to be her tutor was clearly not just a simple tutoring job.
In consideration of Zhang Lan often arriving early, it was clearly different from typical tutors.
Previously, she hadn’t given it much thought, thinking everything Zhang Lan said was true.
For example, real things happening near the villa area, so it was easier to just come over directly.
Or, when it was clearly time to leave, suddenly feeling dizzy and needing to rest, resolutely refusing to rest in the guest room, insisting on sitting on the living room sofa.
Thinking back to the time when Bai Chenyao returned, it happened to be during Zhang Lan’s lesson.
At that time, she was focused only on Bai Chenyao’s facial expressions, completely ignoring Zhang Lan’s demeanor.
