She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

"What's wrong? Your mother-in-law is coming, why are you panicking?" Ye Qingyan smiled at Hua Yunyan.

They had all heard about what happened back then.

Now that they've met, isn't Hua Yunyan embarrassed?

Ye Qingyan showed no mercy, and Hua Yunyan broke the rules of the bet they had agreed on before.

Now that Si Yang has returned to Yancheng, it would be a lie to say that he hasn't felt any resentment for at least half of the past month.

"Stop teasing me, what am I going to do?" Hua Yunyan said in a low voice!

She's still her husband's mother after all; it would be a lie to say she wasn't embarrassed.

"Don't worry! A mother would never make things difficult for her son. If you show your attitude, they naturally won't make things difficult for you." Ye Mengwan smiled.

As they were talking, the sound of a car came from outside the manor.

Lei Man got off the bus.

Back then, the eldest daughter of the Lei family and Rong Xiudao's wife had a certain air about her, only she was a little humble in front of Si Yang.

Ye Mengwan and several other women came forward to greet her. "Mom!" Ye Mengwan called out.

"Okay, sure!" He glanced at Ye Mengwan's belly. "I've been thinking of making time to come see you."

"Now that he's gone back, I finally have some free time." Lei Man smiled, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the women before finally settling on Hua Yunyan's face.

A smile played on his lips as he stepped inside.

In the hall, Lei Man sat down, and Li Chuning poured her a glass of water. Ye Mengwan sat with Lei Man.

Hua Yunyan hid not far away, not daring to speak.

Lei Man smiled and said, "I've been staying in Yancheng for so long, this is my first time in Zhonghai."

"The Lei family may not be as wealthy as the Rong family, but a small gift is appropriate. Don't complain about my stinginess later," Lei Man said with a smile.

Looking at the six women in front of him, he took out six red envelopes.

The women all expressed their gratitude.

When it was Hua Yunyan's turn, she accepted the red envelope, and Lei Man looked at her with a smile.

"Thank you," Hua Yunyan said softly.

"What's your name?" Lei Man asked with a smile!

Hua Yunyan looked at Lei Man, momentarily speechless. "Thank you, Mom!" Hua Yunyan said through gritted teeth, her face flushed red.

Lei Man covered her mouth and laughed, "That's a really far-fetched way of addressing us. Well, we're about the same age, so why don't we each address ourselves separately?"

Hua Yunyan looked embarrassed.

"At this age, I don't know if I can still have children for the family."

"As the mother-in-law, let me say this: hurry up, women! It's harder for them to have children as they get older," Lei Man said softly.

Liu Mingyi and Ye Qingyan lowered their heads, trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Ye Mengwan didn't know what to say, while Li Chuning watched the scene with great interest from the side.

Hua Yunyan, however, blushed furiously; she hadn't expected Lei Man to bring this up.

"Alright, we're all juniors, saying more would only make me seem petty."

"Si Yang is probably in a difficult position as well," Lei Man smiled.

Several women suppressed their laughter and turned their heads away. "Your way of finishing shows this mother-in-law isn't exactly innocent either."

You said everything you were supposed to say, and then you added a concluding remark later, which almost made Hua Yunyan feel terribly embarrassed.

"Congratulations on getting your wish." Lei Man smiled at Hua Yunyan.

"However, it's not good that your niece from your own family is following suit," Lei Man said softly.

Hua Yunyan didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Lei Man ignored them and held Ye Mengwan's hand as she spoke. If she hadn't been so reluctant to leave that little one in Yancheng, she would have come long ago.

In fact, we should have come sooner.

She reminded Ye Mengwan of what to be careful about, and then mentioned the time when she was pregnant with Si Yang.

Every sentence seemed to target Hua Yunyan, though none of them explicitly mentioned her.

Lei Man didn't linger long. There were more than just these few people in Zhonghai. She mainly wanted to visit the Mu family.

The older generation had a good relationship, and the girl was also very likable.

This way! Everyone listens to Mu Nancen, and Mu Nancen listens to that old man from the Rong family.

This home is somewhat complicated.

If it were someone else, they would be worried to death. Three women make a drama, and this is how many women there are.

It's not unusual to stage a large-scale palace drama, but Si Yang has that kind of energy; he lives carefree and without a care in the world.

I never interfere in conflicts between women; some things are better left for them to process on their own.

It seems like nothing was done, but it also seems like everything was done.

At dusk in Yancheng, Si Yang sat in the courtyard, with Xiao Jiayin sitting beside him, her face flushed.

"I wonder what's going on in Zhonghai. Nobody's reporting to me!" Si Yang was genuinely curious.

Xiao Jiayin chuckled, "Other men are afraid of conflicts at home, but you're the one who hopes your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will quarrel."

Si Yang couldn't help but smile. "I'm just curious."

Hua Yunyan didn't contact him, and Ye Mengwan didn't say anything either.

Why don't we ask Ye Qingyan?

Si Yang's eyes lit up, and he sent a video. Ye Qingyan answered the video call, and it seemed that she was in the bedroom.

"What's the situation at Zhonghai today?" Si Yang asked with a smile!

Ye Qingyan smiled, thinking that having a sharp tongue has its advantages; one really remembers what others say.

They immediately recreated the scene.

"That's it?" Si Yang pursed his lips, somewhat disheartened.

"Didn't Hua Yunyan say anything?" Si Yang asked!

"What do you mean? Is arguing fun?" Ye Qingyan said irritably!

That bastard, he just loves making things worse.

"Yeah, alright, you're busy!" After saying that, Si Yang immediately ended the video call.

"Whether it's Mom or Hua Yunyan, they both have to hold their breath, because they don't want to make things difficult for you," Xiao Jiayin said softly.

"They're overthinking it. What's wrong with me?" Si Yang said, pursing his lips.

I guess Hua Yunyan is also holding back a lot of energy.

"Dinner's ready," Li Jianian called out at that moment!

"Alright." Si Yang nodded.

The little guy sat in the high chair with a serious air about him, his bright black eyes darting around.

"You're not eating either, what are you doing sitting here?" Si Yang flicked the little guy on the forehead.

"Wow!" The three women were immediately flustered. Li Jianian glared at Si Yang and said, "If you're not going to coax him, then don't provoke him."

"It's not a good thing for a boy to be so fragile and cry so easily." Si Yang pouted.

"You cried even more than him when you were little!" Just then, Lei Man appeared with a dark face.

Then, with a loving look, she held the little one in her arms and said softly, "Don't cry, sweetie!"

After saying that, she walked up to Si Yang and pinched Si Yang's ear, saying, "The first thing I see when I get back is you bullying my grandson."

The little guy burst out laughing when he saw this.

When Lei Man saw the little guy smile, she twisted her body again.

The little guy giggled.

"Hey, is this never going to end?" Si Yang glared at the little thing.

"What happened after you went to Zhonghai to show off your power?" Si Yang asked Lei Man.

"What's wrong? It won't work?" Lei Man asked!

"Let me tell you, no matter what, you're still my daughter. She's entered your family, so she deserves the respect she's due."

"I thought she'd stay defiant forever, but look at her now, I'm too embarrassed to say anything more," Lei Man said calmly.

"You haven't said anything yet, what are you waiting to say?"

"Hua Yunyan is probably about to be driven crazy by you," Si Yang laughed!

"An old cow eating young grass, what's there to be afraid of people saying?" Lei Man snorted lightly.

"Alright, that's enough about it! Just appease your grandson." Si Yang rolled his eyes.

I've been holding back a lot of anger, and now I feel much better.

It's understandable that Hua Yunyan didn't foresee what would happen next.

In the end, it all comes down to him. Women, once they have someone to care about, they become hesitant and lose their former nature.

That's just how people are.

Seeing the little guy grinning happily, Si Yang pinched his cheek.

The little guy pouted, and Si Yang took off running.

This little thing, made of water, cries so easily.

Lei Man wanted to avenge her grandson, but she couldn't find anyone to help her.

Once outside the courtyard, Si Yang sat down, looked at the incoming call, somewhat surprised, but still answered it.

"Honey, your mom is bullying me," Hua Yunyan said pitifully.

"You said yourself that it was my mom who bullied you, what can I do?"

"This ear was just tugged twice; it's still red!"

"Just because I said a few more words," Si Yang said helplessly.

"Besides, where did that arrogant attitude you had when you provoked her go? You won't fight her, so you come to me. What can I do?" Si Yang said irritably!

"It was my fault back then. When she came and criticized me, I wasn't angry."

"They are elders, after all."

"What she said was really hurtful; she said I couldn't have any more children."

"They can't even manage to have many children and grandchildren."

"You tell me, how harsh were those words?" Hua Yunyan said through gritted teeth!

"So what do you mean?" Si Yang blinked.

"I don't care, I just want a child, otherwise I won't be able to hold my head up in this family anymore," Hua Yunyan said softly.

A rascal with a touch of coquettishness.

"That thing isn't something you can just get whenever you want!" Si Yang said, both amused and exasperated.

After going around in circles, he's still waiting for her here!

"Anyway, I don't care, that's your business," Hua Yunyan said lightly.

"Sigh!" Si Yang sighed, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

"So you figured she was bullying you, and you didn't dare fight back, so you came after me instead?" Si Yang said with a wry smile.

"Hmph!" Hua Yunyan snorted, this time she was thoroughly manipulated by Lei Man.

The eldest daughter of the Hua family is not someone without a temper.

"Alright, we'll talk about it another day!" Si Yang said.

We're in Yancheng now, so it's too far for us to reach them!

"We'll talk about it later, you need to do that too!" Hua Yunyan said in a low voice.

"That's enough," Si Yang said helplessly.

Hua Yunyan chuckled, "We're doomed!"

"By the way, if she says anything again, I'll talk back!"

"I just didn't want to put you in a difficult position. It's just that I like her son," Hua Yunyan said quietly.

"Go on, you've come here for some lighthearted banter, you can't argue with me now, can you?" Si Yang said irritably!

After hanging up the phone, Si Yang smiled. That's it for now.

There was some hatred between us before, but from now on, we'll be family.

Li Jianian walked out of the house and came to Si Yang's side. "Are you angry?"

"No." Si Yang shook his head.

"Mom was afraid you'd be angry, so she sent me to check on you," Li Jianian said softly.

"It's not that bad," Si Yang smiled.

"But that was a pretty sarcastic remark," Si Yang laughed.

"It's also Hua Yunyan's fault. When she came here, she probably didn't expect things to turn out this way. Back then, Mom was holding her breath."

"Now that we're family, all our grudges are settled," Li Jianian said softly.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. What's the plan for tonight?" Si Yang blinked.

Li Jianian rolled her eyes at Si Yang, "You sleep by yourself."

"Is this for real?" Si Yang's eyes lit up.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, that's a dream." Li Jianian glared fiercely at Si Yang.

"Just you wait." Li Jianian pointed at Si Yang, a charming look appearing on her pretty face.
