Chapter 757: Brother and Sister Dissociation
The next day, Lan Zhiyi came again, but Meng Ke did not meet her. He only asked someone to tell her that if she had any questions, she could ask Lan Shu.
Lan Zhiyi had already learned from her husband this morning that her elder brother had been promoted.
To be honest, she didn't care.
People who are not in the military system have no idea how difficult it is to get promoted when there is no war.
Now Meng Ke asked her to contact her elder brother. After thinking about it, Lan Zhiyi decided to video call her elder brother.
Lan Shu saw that it was a video call from his sister, but did not answer it immediately.
He is in a very complicated mood now. He doesn't care whether he becomes the young master of the family or not. What he cares about is his sister's attitude.
Being pushed out of the position of young master by a marriage alliance, he has become a laughing stock in the aristocratic family circle. His sister grew up in the aristocratic family circle and it is impossible for her not to know about it, but she did it anyway.
It's impossible to say that he is not sad. He took good care of his brothers and sisters at home, but there are still differences in the length of his fingers. He took care of and doted on this biological sister the most, but in the end, it was she who stabbed him in the back.
"Big brother!"
Ever since Lan Zhiyi became the young master of the family, she has clearly felt that her elder brother has become much colder towards her.
She herself was a little embarrassed, knowing that what she did was not right. She had originally wanted to pester her eldest brother to reconcile, but it turned out that no one in the family obeyed her. She could only find an excuse to send her eldest brother back to the army and wait until she had power.
"Ok!"
Lan Shu is a man of few words to begin with, but he talks more in front of his family.
Now that there was a rift between the two siblings, he naturally spoke less.
"What do you want from me?"
Lan Zhiyi acted like a spoiled child as before: "Can I come to you when I have nothing to do?"
Lan Shu didn't say anything, and the situation suddenly became awkward.
Lan Zhiyi burst into tears: "Brother, are you still blaming me for taking your position as the young master? Actually, this is the will of the elders, and I have no say in the matter. You know, the family forced me to marry the head of the He family. He is old, and I don't want to marry him at all..."
After playing the emotional card for three minutes and seeing that her elder brother was still indifferent, Lan Zhiyi felt like a clown and became a little annoyed.
"Brother! In your mind, is it that I, your sister, am not as important as your heir?!"
Lan Shu really loves this sister. He rubbed his brows and asked, "You called me on video so early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"
Although Lan Zhiyi was angry, business was more important.
She told him about Meng Ke canceling the family support policy, but she didn't mention that she wanted to threaten Meng Ke and intended to use her to support the family.
Lan Shu knew that the family would know some things sooner or later, so he did not hide it and told them the general support policy that Meng Ke had given to the base.
"What does she mean!"
Lan Zhiyi was furious.
"Can the things given to our Lan family be the same as those given to the base? Apart from giving you a promotion, our Lan family won't enjoy any of the other benefits."
"Those support policies were originally meant to help our Lan family gain a firm foothold. Now that our Lan family is the most powerful family among the Thirteen Blue Origin Stars, it's understandable that the policies should be rescinded."
"What do you mean by canceling the policy is understandable?! What's the point of being a top family on a planet?! Lanyuan Country is the weakest of the three countries, and our Lan family can only be considered a second-rate family at best."
Lan Shu frowned: "Compared to the Alliance, the Lan family is much better off, and has unlimited future prospects."
In the alliance, the Lan family was oppressed by many big families and it was extremely difficult for them to turn things around.
Now that Lanyuan Country is developing rapidly, as long as the Lan family does not fall behind, it is only a matter of time before it takes off.
But Lan Zhiyi was obviously not satisfied.
"Brother, have you ever thought about making the Lan family a top family like the Lei family?"
Lan Shu looked at the raging fire in his sister's eyes expressionlessly.
My father also said that my sister was only enthusiastic for three minutes. In his opinion, the pursuit of power was my sister's true nature. She just loved to play and didn't think about it in the past. Now that she enjoys the benefits of power, how could she let go?
Fortunately, he was not interested in the position of the young master of the family, otherwise they would have reached a life-and-death struggle sooner or later.
"The Lei family has a lot of background. Even if our Lan family chases for a thousand years, we can never reach that level."
Not to mention anything else, just the strong backing of the Lei family army is something the Lan family dare not even think about.
Lan Shu doesn’t dare to think about it, but Lan Zhiyi dares to think about it.
"Brother, if you become the First Gentleman like General Lei, can our Lan family also form a Lan Family Legion?"
The more Lan Zhiyi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Lan Shu was almost pissed off by his sister: "Let's not talk about whether Lord Meng is interested in me or not. Just talking about this matter, are you trying to sell me out?"
"No! I'm doing this for my family."
Lan Shu looked at his sister, whom he had doted on for thirty years, with a cold look in his eyes: "If you want to influence my marriage, wait until you become the head of the family."
After saying that, I didn’t want to say anything more and hung up the video call.
What Lan Shu didn't know was that once his good sister set her mind on someone, she would never give up.
She immediately made a video call to the head of the Lan family and told him about her perfect plan.
The fact that the head of the Lan family was willing to abandon his son to support his daughter in order to form an alliance with the He family shows that he and Lan Zhiyi are of the same kind.
He actually considered his daughter's proposal seriously.
"If your eldest brother could really marry the Queen of Meng, even if they couldn't form the Lan Family Army, the Lan Family would still gain countless benefits. But on your birthday party, I saw the look in the Queen's eyes when she looked at your brother, and she clearly had no such intentions."
Lan Zhiyi had already thought of her excuse.
"Dad, you don't know yet, do you? My eldest brother was unhappy with you canceling his status as Young Master of the Family. He complained to the King, and only then did the King cancel the family's welfare policies and give him a promotion and a raise."
"What did you say? Your brother wouldn't do that!"
"If you don't believe me, you can check. Big Brother admitted it himself. Not only did he get a promotion and a raise yesterday, but his base also received strong support. All of this originally belonged to our Lan family. Big Brother, just because he was angry with you, actually disregarded the family's interests..."
This was the first time in Lan Zhiyi's life that she had said such divisive words, and it was directed at her own elder brother. Feeling guilty, she spoke more and more fluently.
As the saying goes, some things only happen zero times and countless times. Since this time, the head of the Lan family has become more and more disappointed with his son due to his daughter's constant instigation.
Lan Shu became increasingly silent amid his father's repeated questioning in video calls, and never returned to the Lan family.
Lu Changli is in charge of the star field near the Lan family and knows everything about the Lan family.
I was so happy when I knew that Lan Shu was almost breaking up with his family.
A breakup is good! Only after the breakup can he attack the Lan family openly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Meng Ke.
Meng didn't know that Lu Changli still remembered his brother's grudge.
After her mental strength recovered to a large extent, she wanted to go back to the ancient blue star.
The last time he passed by and didn’t come in, he was still thinking about it.
"I want to go to Ancient Blue Star tomorrow. Does anyone want to go?"
"I!"
Luo Tian supported him as always.
Meng Ke nodded: "We'll leave tomorrow morning, you should get ready. Are you going?"
This question was asked to Ouyang Kong. As for Dr. Bai who insisted on coming to eat for free, Meng Ke simply ignored him.
"I have an important meeting tomorrow and don't have time."
Meng doesn't care about things. Now, anything that falls into Ouyang Kong's hands is a national affair and cannot be refrained from.
"I'll ask Brother Tiger."
Lei Hu is guarding the border and has a mission tomorrow, so he can't go.
"Hey! Brother Hu doesn't have time either. It's a pity that Brother You isn't here. If Brother You were here, he would definitely come with us to take a look. Honey, do you know? Brother You really likes old wooden houses."
"Really? I really don't know that."
Meng Ke touched his chin, thinking about giving Qingyou a little surprise.
Ouyang Kong saw through her thoughts at a glance: "If you build a wooden house, I want one too."
"Okay! This time, Luo Tian and I will go to Ancient Blue Star and take some photos of old houses. You can choose some, and then I will make a one-to-one replica."
Luo Tian's eyes suddenly lit up frighteningly: "Wife, I want one too!"
Dr. Bai was having some fruit after dinner and finally heard something that interested him.
"I also want!"
Luo Tian obviously had no idea of the extent of Dr. Bai's criticism and directly retorted: "If you want to build it yourself, my wife doesn't have time to take care of you!"
In his heart, Brother Hu and Ouyang Kong are good brothers, and the one with the surname Bai is not!
Dr. Bai showed a creepy smile on his face: "Really?"
