Chapter 161 Meeting the Parents

"My little sister is still as impatient as ever. We've come to offer our congratulations and also to meet my niece-in-law."

Ms. An, who had been silent until now, also spoke up: "Our families are not only relatives but also business partners. Doesn't Patriarch Lan intend to invite us in for a chat?"

Lan Yidan really didn't want to invite them in.

They clearly came with ill intentions.

However, while she could reject Lan Yiqiong and Yan Minghui, she could not shut An Tong out.

So they had no choice but to grit their teeth and invite the person into the living room.

Upon entering the room, Lan Yiqiong noticed the bouquet of flowers on the table and said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this a new variety that the research institute just cultivated recently? My sister is really generous."

I wonder if your lowly female daughter-in-law from that barren planet understands the value of this bouquet of flowers.

Don't waste your time and money only to have that bumpkin not even realize it.

Lan Yidan's face darkened as she suppressed her anger. "Third sister is overthinking it. Miss Jiang herself is also very outstanding."

She recently brought honor to the Federation; she's a very talented female, not the country bumpkin you're describing.

"Tch, he's just a lousy songwriter, and this is what you call talent?"
There are plenty of women in our families who are far more outstanding than her, but we are all pampered young ladies and don't need to flaunt our talents.

With Lan Yiqiong starting the fire, An Tong and Yan Minghui were happy to watch the show, and simply sat down to slowly savor the expensive tea on the table.

Lan Yuyan's three younger brothers also split into two groups and stayed in a corner, not participating in the elders' argument.

One of them, a boy who never raised his head from beginning to end and was completely absorbed in his own world, was Lan Yuyan's youngest brother, Lan Yan.

His name is clearly different from his brothers' names.

Because his biological father was a male who had betrayed Lan Yidan, he was disliked by Lan Yidan as well.

If it weren't illegal for female interstellar beings to have abortions, he probably wouldn't have been born.

After he was born, Lan Yidan gave him this name: Lan Yan (蓝炎), which means "dislike".

As for his father, he had naturally died long ago.

Although Lan Yidan didn't like him, she didn't mistreat him either, so she entrusted him to one of her partners to raise.

He was never shortchanged materially, but his partner was not allowed to bring him to the estate.

He was only allowed to appear in front of her on special occasions when the whole family needed to be together.

On the other side, huddled together making faces, were Lan Yuyan's second brother, Lan Yusheng, and third brother, Lan Yuyuan. The third character of each of their names was taken from one of their father's names.

It's essentially a union of two people.

At this moment, Lan Yusheng was ranting to her younger brother, "Why is that annoying woman here again? Could she be deliberately trying to ruin things between my brother and sister-in-law?"

"Is there any need to guess? She's always been jealous of how much Grandma likes Mom."

"But let them mess things up if they want. I really can't understand why my brother would want to find a C-level female."

Although I'm also a fan of Jiang Qin, I don't want her older brother to die young.

Lan Yuyuan frowned and said, "How can you say that? No matter what your sister-in-law is like, since she has married your brother, she is family."

"I know that, but I've only heard about my brother's riot rating."

Hearing this, Lan Yuyuan didn't say anything more.

Lan Yuyan was once their role model, and they always hoped to be like their brother and stay on the front lines.

Although his brother was not a combatant, he saved many soldiers.

One wall of the house is covered with medals and awards.

Just because of a battle, the young Lan Yuyan's riot value was close to the critical point, and then she went home.

He transformed from a spirited medical professional into a composed business elite.

For the past two or three years, their family has never discussed federal military issues, for fear of upsetting him.

He has now found a C-level female, who will probably only last another ten years at most. That's a lifespan of three hundred years, but Lan Yuyan will only live for 37 years, a short life that is truly regrettable.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. I need to send a message to my brother and tell him not to bring my sister-in-law back today."

***
However, their message came too late.

Because Jiang Qin and the others, along with a cat, had already entered, led in by a servant.

Upon entering the living room, this chaotic scene was what I saw.

Lan Yidan's companions sat with her on the sofa to the right, and none of them looked too happy.

On the left sat Lan Yiqiong and her companions, their expressions mocking.

Sitting between them were An Tong, who seemed unconcerned, and Yan Minghui, who was clearly watching the show.

In the corner of the living room sat a melancholy boy who looked like a mushroom, and on the other side sat two handsome young men who seemed to be acting suspiciously.

Uh... Jiang Qin didn't know what to do for a moment.

After recognizing Lan Yuyan's father by his hair color, she hesitated, wondering what to do next.

Lan Yidan was the first to exclaim with delight, "Xiao Yan, this must be Qinqin, right? She's so pretty, come in and sit down."

"Oh, so this must be Xiaoyan's female lead?"

Judging from his tone, Jiang Qin knew trouble was brewing, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."

The woman clicked her tongue as she looked her over, probably intending to say something unpleasant.

After taking a closer look, he was a little choked up, and the words, "What kind of shabby clothes are you wearing? You look so poor," were swallowed back.

Because the clothes this female is wearing seem...to be quite expensive?

Although Lan Yiqiong likes to target Lan Yidan, she is, after all, the daughter of the Lan family and has some sense of propriety.

So she immediately noticed that the embroidery on Jiang Qin's clothes was handmade.

The accompanying jewelry is also quite sophisticated.

Especially the wooden hairpin in her hair, which is carved with extreme realism.

Anything from the interstellar era that's even remotely handmade or made entirely of natural materials is basically a luxury item.

Clearly, the woman in front of him couldn't be attacked with the term "poor and stingy," so he changed his tone and said, "Sister, won't you introduce us?"

Although Lan Yidan was not happy, she couldn't continue arguing with her daughter-in-law in front of her.

So he could only force a smile and introduce Jiang Qin, "This is Xiao Yan's third aunt, and these two are her third uncles."

Then she introduced An Tong, "This is Xiao Yan's aunt, and this is his uncle."

She then introduced herself and her partners one by one.

"I am Xiaoyan's mother, this is Xiaoyan's father, his Uncle Zheng and Uncle Yuan, and this is his Uncle Zhang."

They are all my partners.

Those three simpletons are Xiao Yan's younger brothers: the second oldest, Lan Yusheng; the third oldest, Lan Yuyuan; and the fourth oldest, Lan Yan.

"Hello, sister-in-law." *2
"Hello, sister-in-law..."

The whole family.

Jiang Qin was unprepared for the arrival, and although she was somewhat surprised by the large number of people, she didn't ask.

She introduced herself politely, saying, "Please just call me by my name, Jiang Qin."

This is my first partner, Yunxie.

And then there's my second partner, Shi Lichuan.

As for the cat in her hand, everyone recognizes it, so she won't introduce it.
