The commotion at the kindergarten entrance quickly alerted the security guards, who immediately came out and separated the two parents who were fighting.

"Sister Zhang, are you alright?"

The lead security guard rushed over, clearly biased and siding with the family member of the property management staff.

The bystanders didn't seem to feel anything yet, but another person involved was even more furious. He immediately sat down on the ground and began to wail loudly.

"Good heavens! You're all so unfair!"

"Your community property management and kindergarten security guards are ganging up on the residents!"

"If it weren't for your property management team gossiping behind people's backs, talking badly about residents, and bullying single female residents, how would I have known that Xiaolan was single, or thought about introducing her to someone?"

"Now that things have come to light, I know I was wrong, but I'll take responsibility for my actions!"

"But what about your property management? Not only did you not apologize, but you even colluded with the security guards to beat people up!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll... I'll smash my head against this door and die!"

As he spoke, the parent struggled to get up from the ground and tried to ram his head against the wall at the school gate.

Those who didn't want to cause trouble stepped aside, startling the security guards on duty, who rushed forward to stop them, almost causing a disaster.

"Quick! Go and call the principal!"

Several parties involved in the dispute were asked to step aside to "calm down," and the principal and homeroom teacher rushed over upon hearing the news.

Lan Yujuan was forced to stay and stand aside to observe calmly.

It turns out that the woman the security guard called "Sister Zhang" was the wife of the community's property manager.

She relied on her husband and the little power he held, and had become tyrannical in the neighborhood.

Although Sister Zhang's third child, born late in life, also attends this kindergarten.

Even the kindergarten principal, upon seeing what happened to her, would at least give her some face.

Unfortunately, the more smug Zhang Jie became this time, the more the other party objected, and the bigger the fuss became, leaving Zhang Jie feeling extremely wronged!

In the end, not only the principal and teachers, but also the parents of both children rushed over after get off work.

On this side, the atmosphere among the parents was somber.

On the other side, three little ones who stayed at school after class had been led back to the play area by their teacher and were playing wildly without a care in the world.

"What exactly happened?" The property manager was the first to arrive, his face looking rather grim.

He pulled Sister Zhang aside and whispered a reprimand:

"You stay home all day doing nothing, you don't even have to go to work. All you do is go downstairs to pick up and drop off the kids, can't you even do that?"

Zhang Jie, who had initially felt she had the upper hand and was in the right, exploded when her husband publicly humiliated her.

"How can you blame me? I'm the most innocent one here!"

"Aunt Wang is so poor she's desperate to make money as a matchmaker, she insists on arranging a marriage for that woman surnamed Lan!"

"That old man's got a good abacus; he's got it all figured out!"

"He's even dreaming of arranging a marriage between her and that other woman for his old, bachelor nephew who has no house, no car, no money, no stable job, and who came to the city to work!"

"That woman surnamed Lan is even less respectable!"

"If you don't like someone, just meet them for a meal and then politely decline. Why lie?"

"She's clearly a single mother, but she insists on pretending to be married, dragging her single male neighbor along every day to act like a couple!"

"I even tried to mediate between them when they were arguing, and who would have thought that the old woman would turn around and come at me?"

Just as Sister Zhang finished shouting with red eyes, Aunt Wang's son arrived.

After finally calming down, Aunt Wang saw that her own son had come to me and that she had someone to back her up, so she immediately burst into tears and rushed over to him.

"My son, you've finally arrived!"

"They're bullying us too much! You have to stand up for your mother today!"

Aunt Wang launched into another tirade, leaving the principal standing to the side, caught in a dilemma.

Finally, everyone's eyes were drawn to Lan Yujuan, who unanimously concluded that she was the culprit.

"Miss Lan, we're all neighbors, we know each other well."

"There's nothing shameful about a woman being single or divorced, but lying and stirring up trouble is not a good thing."

Seeing that the property manager was not someone to be trifled with, Aunt Wang's son immediately turned his attention to Lan Yujuan, who was standing alone to the side.

"Sister Zhang meant well, why are you taking it out on her?"

"My mom kindly introduced you to someone, and not only did you not appreciate it, you even tried to drive her to suicide in public. How could you be so cruel?"

"Miss Lan, you must apologize to both of us for what happened today! Otherwise, we will not let this go!"

Lan Yujuan almost laughed in anger after hearing this.

"What did you say? You want me to apologize?"

"If this is your attitude towards solving problems, then don't delay, just call the police!"

"The surveillance cameras at the school gate captured the entire incident clearly!"

"Let the police come and check the surveillance footage to see who's right and who's wrong!"

The room fell silent as soon as Lan Yujuan said this.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the property manager was subtly winking at the security guard.

The security guard next to him had just come out of the guardhouse and nodded slightly to the property manager.

Then she saw the property manager step forward, appearing to be in a businesslike manner and unwilling to make a fuss.

"Miss Lan, if you're a smart person, you should apologize right away!"

"The security camera at the entrance is broken. They're preparing to replace it these past few days, so it didn't record anything at all."

Even if you call the police, it won't do any good!

"Besides, you're single with a child, and since we all live in the same neighborhood, you should be mindful of your neighborly relations!"

Lan Yujuan finally understood: the property manager wanted to control everything, and "Aunt Wang," backed by her son, also wanted to settle things quietly.

She was the only one without anyone to back her up, and she had a weakness, so even if she was right, she became wrong.

Lan Yujuan was furious. She turned to look at the principal next to her, hoping that the principal would stand up and at least say something fair.

Unexpectedly, the principal avoided her gaze and picked up his phone, saying:

"Excuse me, I need to take this call!"

After saying that, he gave the homeroom teacher a look, then left the mess and went to the side to answer the phone to avoid suspicion.

Lan Yujuan was very disappointed and turned to look at Xiaoman's homeroom teacher, but she no longer had any illusions.

Unexpectedly, the homeroom teacher stepped forward and said seriously:

"Xiaoman's mother did nothing wrong in this matter, and she shouldn't apologize."

"Even if you want to play matchmaker, shouldn't you at least understand the situation first?"

"Even if Xiaoman's mother is well-off, she wouldn't force a married person to date, would she? Bigamy is illegal!"

Sister Zhang couldn't help but jump out and say firmly:

"Teacher, you've been fooled by her!"

"She's definitely single, there's no man around her at all! My husband told me, it's absolutely true!"

The property manager standing nearby nodded slightly to the homeroom teacher, indicating that this was indeed the case.

The homeroom teacher's cheek muscles twitched slightly; she was tempted to call the police when she had to deal with such an unreasonable student's parent!

"Where did you get this information? You must be mistaken!"

"It's quite a coincidence that today, Lan Xiaoman accidentally brought her parents' marriage certificate to school."

"It wasn't just me, all the kids in the class saw it."

Everyone was taken aback by these words!

"Really, really married? That can't be true..."

Just then, a figure from not far away rushed over and headed straight for Lan Yujuan.

"Are you alright?" Chen Mo asked, slightly out of breath, still wearing the slippers she had bought for her.

"I'm fine." Lan Yujuan shook her head gently, her voice low and restrained.

She didn't want to cry, but the moment Chen Mo gently put his arm around her shoulder, tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, the property manager standing nearby, as if he had caught something wrong, immediately stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Chen, you've come at the perfect time!"

"Let's clarify for everyone whether you and Miss Lan are neighbors or husband and wife!"

Chen Mo had already heard a rough outline of what the principal had said over the phone while he was on his way there.

Seeing that the property manager still dared to jump out, his anger flared up instantly.

Without saying a word, he turned around and threw a punch at the other person's chin.

"The camera is broken, right?"

"That's just right..."
