Chapter 1721  The Truth About Lan Ruoxi’s Moter

As Lian Xun and Lan Ruoxi were looking at Lan Meirong, Xiao Zhan entered the patient room.

"Elder Lian, Miss Lan, I have good news." Xiao Zhan uttered.

Lan Ruoxi and Lian Xun turned their heads toward Xiao Zhan.

"Good news?" Lian Xun was startled by Xiao Zhan's words. "Mister, what is the good news?" Lan Ruoxi inquired.

"Let's go to my office first. We should not disturb Mrs Lan Meirong." Even though Lan Meirong was still in a coma, Xiao Zhan did not want them to talk in her patient room.

Lian Xun and Lan Ruoxi exchanged a glance with each other before finally going to Xiao Zhan's office.

As they stepped into his office, they saw an old doctor sitting on a couch. The doctor had white hair and was about fifty years old.

The name of the doctor was Dai Yao, the best doctor in Angel Hospital.

After sitting on the sofa, Xiao Zhan uttered, "Please sit first."

"Xiao Zhan, what is the good news? Please tell us immediately." Like Lan Ruoxi, Lian Xun also could not wait to hear the good news.

Xiao Zhan did not answer his question and looked at Dai Yao, giving him a sign to give the good news.

"Mrs. Lan Meirong's condition has improved significantly." Dai Yao told them the good news. "And she will regain consciousness in a few days. At the latest, next week."

"Doctor, is that true?" she inquired.

"Yes." Dai Yao nodded his head.

Tears of happiness suddenly fell down her soft cheeks.

After waiting for several years, she finally would be able to see her mother's smile again.

She would be able to talk to her again.

And she would be able to feel her warm embrace again.

At that moment, she was glad that she did not give up because she almost gave up countless times in the past.

Like his disciple, Lian Xun was also thrilled.

His disciple had been waiting for this moment for several years, and now, that moment was about to come true.

"Doctor, thank you very much." Lan Ruoxi wiped off her tears, but tears of happiness kept coming out of her eyes. "Mister Xiao, thank you very much."

"Doctor Dai, Xiao Zhan, thank you very much." Lian Xun also thanked them.

The Xiao family treated Lan Meirong for several years, but her condition did not improve in the slightest.

That meant Xiao Zhan's hospital was much better than Xiao family's hospital.

And the doctors at Xiao Zhan's Hospital were the best because they could cure the unknown disease in Lan Meirong's body quickly when other doctors gave up immediately. "Miss Lan, you said your mother had been in a coma for several years, right?" Dai Yao uttered.

"Yes." Lan Ruoxi responded.

"Is there something wrong, doctor?" Lian Xun inquired.

"The Xiao family tricked you." Dai Yao went straight to the point.

"Tricking us? What do you mean by that?" Lian Xun asked curiously.

"It's like this…" Dai Yao began explaining everything in detail.

He said there was a serum in Lan Meirong's body but in small quantities. This serum was not deadly, but it would keep Lan Meirong in a coma.

This was the reason why Lan Meirong had been in a coma for several years because they kept infusing this serum into her body.

"What?!" Lian Xun almost could not suppress his anger. "Are you saying the Xiao family deliberately put her in a coma?"

"Yes." Dai Yao responded, "But don't worry. We have removed that serum from her body."

Lan Ruoxi clenched her fists.

'So, the Xiao family deliberately put my mother in a coma? Does that mean they want to keep using me?'

The anger within her grew bigger when she thought of the Xiao family.

She could not enjoy her youth because of the Xiao family.

She killed many people because of the Xiao family.

And her first love hated her because of the Xiao family too.

The Xiao family was the reason why all bad things happened to her.

If the Xiao family had not put her mother in a coma for several years, none of that would have happened to her. The Xiao family was evil.

The Xiao family was a devil.

She had to make the Xiao family disappear from this world, or else more people would become victims like her in the future. 'Xiao family!'

Lan Ruoxi clenched her fist.

Lian Xun tapped Lan Ruoxi's left shoulder when he saw her expression. "Calm down."

Lan Ruoxi took a deep breath before finally speaking, "Mister Xiao, can you please help me one more time?"

"What is it?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously.

"I was not the one who injured Mrs Ye Qingyu and the others. I did betray your son, but I never hurt his family and women." Lan Ruoxi uttered, "Can you please tell your son about this?"

Even though she knew this would not reduce Xiao Tian's hatred toward her, but she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding first. At least Xiao Tian would know that she was not the one who injured his family and women.

"I think one of the Xiao family's subordinates pretends to be her." Lian Xun added.

"I see." Xiao Zhan uttered. "I will tell him later."

"Thank you, Mister Xiao." Lan Ruoxi thanked him.

----

Xiao Tian was currently talking with his father. His father told him that Lan Ruoxi was not the one who injured his family and women.

However, Xiao Tian did not care about it.

He still hated Lan Ruoxi and did not want to meet her because she had betrayed him.

He hated betrayal the most, so he still could not forgive her.

And from his point of view, he was kind enough because he let her mother be treated in his father's hospital.

He was sure no one would do something like that if they were in his shoes because the feeling of betrayal was harrowing, especially from the loved ones.

*Sigh…

Xiao Zhan could only sigh.

He could not blame his son, but he also could not blame Lan Ruoxi.

Both of them were not wrong.

The wrong one was the Xiao family because they were the reason this complicated situation occurred.

"I'm leaving. Just call me if you need something." After saying that, Xiao Tian rose to his feet and left.

"Sigh. I will tell Miss Lan about this." with that idea in mind, he called Lan Ruoxi.

----

Li Mei was currently in her family café alone. Even though she wanted to meet Xiao Tian, she did not do that because she still could not find the right situation to meet him.

She did not want him to know about her plan, so she could not act recklessly.

'Should I call him? But what should I say?'

It would be awkward if she said she heard rumors about him killing Xiao Jianhong. 'Should I ask about our business?'

They worked together on several businesses, so that was a good reason to give him a call.

'Yes. I will use this idea. I will drag the conversation to Jianhong's death later.'

When she was about to take her smartphone, she saw Xiao Tian entering her café.

'Xiao Tian?'
