She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

From Chapter 6 onwards, the Huo family will be your home.

"Ruomei, you were indeed in the wrong. You should apologize to Nanyu properly."

Nan Luzhi, who had rushed back, strode in from the doorway. His usually serious face was now fawning over Chi Ying.

"Madam, the mother and daughter often quarrel, and when they quarrel, they speak without restraint. I'm sorry you have to see this."

Chi Ying remained silent with a cold expression.

Despite her reluctance, Sheng Ruomei forced a smile and cooperated with the warning look from Lu Zhi of Shangnan Road, hiding her displeasure and anger.

"Nan Yu, I was just talking nonsense in the heat of the moment. Please don't be so petty. I apologize to you now. Please forgive me."

His tone was casual yet tinged with contempt.

Nan Yu saw through the resentment deep in her eyes at a glance and found it laughable.

She suppressed her disgust and said defiantly, "Madam Nan, I do not accept your hypocritical apology."

“Nan Yu, I advise you to take it easy…”

Sheng Ruomei hadn't even finished saying the words "know when to stop" when she was ahead.

Seeing this, Chi Ying straightened her back and quickly stood up for her granddaughter-in-law.

"Nan Luzhi, is this how the Nan family apologizes?"

She then deliberately looked at Sheng Ruomei, sizing her up and down with a cold and disdainful gaze, "That's right, a mistress who rose to power doesn't know anything about apologizing. We don't need her apology."

Nan Luzhi's expression turned ugly. He glared at Sheng Ruomei with displeasure and chimed in, "Madam, you're right. She's a worthless piece of trash. Don't bother with her."

Sheng Ruomei's face turned even paler, her clenched fists bulged with veins, her eyes filled with humiliation, yet she forced a smile and dared not utter a word.

When his eyes fell on Nan Yu, he felt an urge to tear her to pieces.

Nan Yu was somewhat surprised; it was the first time she had ever seen someone so utterly speechless as Sheng Ruomei retorted. She couldn't help but look gratefully at Chi Ying, who was protecting her.

Chi Ying noticed Nan Yu's gaze and said gently, "Xiao Yu, go and get everything you need. Move in with me today."

Without giving Nan Yu a chance to refuse, she directly instructed Xu Qi, "Butler Xu, accompany the young mistress to pack her luggage."

Nan Yu thought for a few seconds and decided to go up and find the silver needles first.

Sheng Ruomei immediately gave the nanny beside her a look, signaling her to follow.

Chi Ying glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and said coldly, "Sheng Ruomei, you don't need to worry. My Huo family's granddaughter-in-law is not so poor that she has to steal your meager possessions."

Sheng Ruomei's lips twitched as she forced an explanation: "Madam, that's not what I meant..."

He cursed Nan Yu a hundred and eighty times in his heart.

Nan Luzhi, who was standing nearby, quickly interjected, "Madam, you've misunderstood. She was asking the nanny to help with the tidying up." Chi Ying scoffed, "Ha."

Nan Yu quickly found the box of silver needles in the corner of the room. She carefully opened it and checked that everything was there before she breathed a sigh of relief.

She carefully closed the box again, held it in her hand, glanced at the nanny who was staring intently at her, and looked at Xu Qi, saying, "Uncle Xu, we've found the item. Let's go."

Xu Qi stared at the empty room, where there was nothing belonging to Nan Yu, as if he wished he could erase her existence.

Thinking back to how he had just kicked her out, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this strong young mistress.

After going downstairs, Xu Qi immediately told Chi Ying everything he had seen.

Chi Ying looked at the obedient and well-behaved Nan Yu, then glanced at the empty-handed nanny at the back, and finally saw the cold-blooded couple.

She suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and grasped Nan Yu's hand. "Xiao Yu, from now on, the Huo family is your home. Let's go home!"

Nan Luzhi followed behind, feigning politeness, and said, "Madam, why don't you have dinner before you leave?"

Chi Ying gave them a cold glance.

“You even abuse your own daughter? You kick her out of the house and wish you could sever all ties with her. I’m just an old woman from the Huo family, and at most we’re related by marriage. I’m afraid you’d just poison me.”

Nan Luzhi's face turned ashen, "..."

Chi Ying forcefully protected Nan Yu as they walked out the door. "Xiao Yu, if they bully you again, just tell me, and Grandma will definitely get justice for you."

Looking at Chi Ying's aged yet resolute figure and feeling the warmth of her palm, Nan Yu felt as if she were seeing her master who had suddenly passed away two years ago.

Every time she was brutally beaten by her uncle and left covered in bruises, he would always appear gently by her side, treat her wounds, and then help her teach her uncle a lesson.

Just like Chi Ying now, protecting her at all costs.

Tears welled up in Nan Yu's eyes as she suddenly remembered Huo Junyan's words to her yesterday, telling her to keep her distance.

She suppressed all her emotions, racked her brains for an excuse, and forced a smile as she said to Chi Ying, "Grandma, thank you for helping me out today..."

Chi Ying interrupted her directly, saying, "Xiao Yu, if you really want to thank me, then have a proper dinner with me."

"This is a good opportunity for Junyan to get to know you properly. You're already married, how can you act like strangers?"

"I don't want to see you get married and divorced in a flash!"

At this point, Chi Ying paused for a moment, squinting at Nan Yu beside her.

"Xiaoyu, tell me honestly, has Junyan said he wants a divorce?"
