After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 262, Episode 0276: A family of three sitting in a row eating melon seeds (Part 2)
This matter is a secret of the Xu family; even Xu Zhichuan himself is unaware of it.

Xu Zhichuan's father was the eldest son and the theoretical heir of the Xu family. Yang Lanlan initially had her eye on him, but unfortunately, Xu Zhichuan's father was already married and Xu Zhichuan, the eldest son, had already been born.

However, Yang Lanlan did not give up. In her own words, "You can get divorced even if you're married."

As for Xu Zhichuan's father, Yang Lanlan was nearly ten years younger than him, so at that time, Xu Zhichuan's father only saw Yang Lanlan as a child. How could he know that this child had developed inappropriate feelings for him, a married man?
So, Yang Lanlan approached Xu's father under the pretext of seeking knowledge. Xu's father was not on guard. On the contrary, he thought Yang Lanlan was a good and studious child. Moreover, because the Xu and Yang families had a good relationship at that time, Yang Lanlan often went to Xu's house to play, and Xu's father often gave her one-on-one tutoring.

When Yang Lanlan turned fifteen, Xu's father accidentally discovered that Yang Lanlan's feelings for him were not quite right. Xu's father was an honest man, and he felt that the girl was just going through puberty and had misunderstood him. He believed that as long as he did not appear around the girl often, she would be able to distinguish between true love and mere admiration for a teacher.

Mr. Xu always avoided Yang Lanlan. Yang Lanlan was a very perceptive person, and after a few times, she guessed that Mr. Xu had seen through her thoughts.

In order to stay by Xu's father's side, Yang Lanlan came up with a plan. She deliberately approached the playboy Xu Laosan and staged a scene where she was bullied by the drunken Xu Laosan. Since the Xu family was a scholarly family, after such an incident, Old Master Xu would only allow Xu Laosan and Yang Lanlan to be together. Yang Lanlan's plan to stay by Xu's father's side was half successful.

However, she did not expect that Xu's father was too stubborn. Before Yang Lanlan got married, he had been avoiding her. When Yang Lanlan married Xu Laosan at the age of eighteen, she thought that she could live under the same roof with Xu's father in the future. However, Xu's father was preparing to move out of the old house with his wife and children.

"Old Master Xu has a sharp eye. He saw long ago that Yang Lanlan was restless and that she had designs on Xu Laoda. But Xu Laosan was devoted to Yang Lanlan. So Old Master Xu simply kicked all his sons out of the house, out of sight, out of mind."

Although the brothers were different when they lived together, they were all roughly the same in terms of lifestyle. But once they were separated, the differences really became apparent.

At that time, Xu's father was already the vice principal. The school provided a small courtyard where he could move in immediately. He was able to live a good life on his own. Moreover, Xu's mother's family was well-off, and Xu's mother also had a job.

Xu Lao Er was a little worse off than Xu's father. He worked as a junior employee in the Ministry of Foreign Trade, but his salary was still over fifty yuan. His workplace also provided him with a small one-bedroom apartment. His wife worked in a department store, and their daughter was less than a year old, so they didn't cost much money.

Xu Laosan was in a worse situation. He was a playboy, a pure playboy. He didn't have a job and spent all his time hanging out with a bunch of cronies. Naturally, he had no salary and no place to live. Meanwhile, Yang Lanlan had just graduated from school.

So after the three brothers were kicked out by Grandpa Xu, the eldest and second eldest had both been living for a year and their future was not difficult. Only the youngest brother and his wife were left without a place to stay.

With no other option, Xu Laosan eventually went back to the Yang family with Yang Lanlan.

"Just like they couldn't bear to part with the Zheng family, the Yang family also couldn't bear to part with the Xu family. Moreover, they probably felt that Old Master Xu couldn't really be heartless and abandon Xu Laosan, so they found a job for Xu Laosan and arranged a place for the couple to live, doing even more for them than the Xu family did."

However, the men in the Yang family who work outside the home may think more deeply, while some of the women who stay at home only focus on immediate benefits.

The Xu family's sisters-in-law were unhappy. It was all their money that was being spent. They had gone to great lengths to pull strings, not for their own families, but for their sister-in-law's husband. How could they be happy about that?

Naturally, there would be no shortage of sarcastic remarks made in front of Yang Lanlan.

The women in the inner quarters have many subtle ways of bullying people in ways you can't even bring yourself to say it.

Yang Lanlan was originally a self-reliant person, but her self-reliant approach was a bit strange. She didn't blame the Yang family for the grievances she suffered in the Yang family, but instead blamed Xu's father.

She felt that if it weren't for Mr. Xu's rejection of her, and if he hadn't brought up the topic of moving out of the old house, she wouldn't be suffering all this now, and could be living a carefree life as Mrs. Xu.

So she decided to take revenge. But her target wasn't Xu's father, but rather the unfortunate Xu Zhichuan. During a family birthday celebration for Old Master Xu, she threw Xu Zhichuan off the second floor.

She wanted to make Xu's father regret it.

That's just crazy.

At the time, no one was on guard against her. No one would have thought that a pretty young girl, not even twenty years old, would lay a hand on Xu Zhichuan, who was not even two years old.

Yang Lanlan said she saw Xu Zhichuan climb onto the railing and fall off because he was playing. Xu's father and grandfather did not believe her.

In their eyes, Xu Zhichuan had always been a well-behaved and sensible child who had never done anything out of line, especially since they had told him he absolutely could not play the game of climbing over the fence.

However, because no one witnessed Yang Lanlan's actions, and because everyone was focused on the seriously injured Xu Zhichuan, there was no evidence to prove that Xu Zhichuan's fall from the second floor was related to Yang Lanlan.

The only connection is that they were both on the second floor at the time, but that doesn't prove anything, since Xu's mother and Xu Laosan were also on the second floor at the time.

Since they didn't check their location at the time of the incident immediately, and there were no eyewitnesses, it doesn't matter what they say anymore.

For this reason, Grandpa Xu not only suspected that Yang Lanlan would harm Xu Zhichuan, but also suspected Xu's mother, so he directly placed Xu Zhichuan under his care to raise.

Xu's father shared the same concerns and therefore did not object.

Lin Yuexi blinked. "Why do they all suspect that Xu Zhichuan's biological mother would harm him?"

Well, Leng Zhi said that he was the most qualified to speak on this matter among the three people present.

Although Xu Zhichuan's biological mother's surname is Sun, she comes from the Liu family, the same Liu family that Liu Bingyan, who nearly starved Xu Zhichuan to death.

Sun Jiajia is the daughter of the younger sister of the old lady of the Liu family. Sun's parents were both business people. They died in a car accident. The old lady of the Liu family then took their only daughter, Sun Jiajia, into the Liu family to raise her, and also took care of their inheritance.

Madam Liu intended for the old man of the Liu family to marry Sun Jiajia, so that the Sun family's inheritance could become the Liu family's.

But Liu was not happy. He had always only regarded Sun Jiajia as a younger sister, and he had his own girl he liked.

As for Sun Jiajia, perhaps because of what Old Madam Liu said too much, or perhaps because the eldest son of the Liu family just happened to suit her taste, she really fell in love with the eldest son of the Liu family, and even regarded him as her possession.

Leng Zhi was quite close to the eldest son of the Liu family back then; to be precise, he got along well with a group of people of similar age in the compound, and they often offered advice to help the eldest son of the Liu family pursue a wife.

Everyone knows that Sun Jiajia is clinging to Boss Liu.
