After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

After watching the old lady leave, Lan Yujuan turned around and went home.

She tidied up the house, and around noon, she ate something simple.

After eating and drinking her fill, she temporarily put aside all the trivial matters on her mind and began to immerse herself in her work.

In another week, her little coffee shop will open, and there are many things to plan.

Moreover, she doesn't have many manuscripts left.

When she was working in her bedroom, she put her phone on silent and placed it in the living room to avoid being disturbed.

It wasn't until she finished her work and got up to go to the living room for a drink of water that she casually picked up her phone to see if there were any messages that needed replying.

However, when she picked up her phone, her heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen missed calls in just a few hours.

When she opened the caller ID, she saw that most of the calls were from Li Rui.

There are also comments on social media; clicking on a long post is like reading a novel.

She had just opened the message and hadn't even scrolled to the top when Li Rui called again.

Lan Yujuan composed herself, pressed the speakerphone button, and asked, "Feed?"

"Lan Yujuan, why aren't you answering my calls?"

As soon as she spoke, a barrage of questions came flying at her through the phone.

"I called you so many times and sent you so many messages, why didn't you answer any of them or reply to any of them?"

"Aren't you being incredibly petty?"

Lan Yujuan subconsciously moved her phone away, her temples throbbing.

She couldn't even tell for a moment whether it was the pregnancy hormones that made Li Rui seem like a different person.

Or is this the real Li Rui, just like he is now?

Lan Yujuan took a deep breath and tried her best to explain calmly:

"I was working and my phone was on silent, so I didn't hear it."

"Just say what you have to say."

"Li Rui, I'm not your husband, I have no obligation to listen to you yelling at me."

There was a long pause on the other end of the line, with no one speaking. Lan Yujuan could hear the angry breathing on the other end even through the phone.

"Shanshan said she didn't take Chen Mo's watch!" Li Rui said through gritted teeth.

"Just because she left early doesn't mean she had a guilty conscience!"

"The surveillance video you mentioned only proves that she went to the bathroom at that time."

"As for the video of the luxury watch buyback shop, it's even more outrageous. She said she had no idea about that place and had never been there!"

"You can't just slander someone because they all have short hair and wear similar clothes, can you?"

Lan Yujuan asked earnestly:

"Li Rui, then tell me, which girl goes into the restroom and comes out fully dressed in less than a minute?"

Li Rui, sitting opposite him, was clearly indignant.

"Lan Yujuan, I finally see you for who you really are today!"

"Your own eyes are dirty, so everyone else looks dirty to you!"

"Shanshan said she felt like she had her period early, so she went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and then quickly came out."

"That's why she left early."

"Now that I've told you clearly, are you satisfied?"

"Anyway, I've already asked the questions you needed to ask, and I've done everything I could."

"Shanshan says she didn't take it. If you have evidence, just go and call the police!"

"Stop playing tricks and trying to extort money from us!"

After Li Rui finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone with a "snap".

Lan Yujuan stared blankly at her phone. Having learned from her previous experience, she was much calmer this time.

However, before she could fully recover, her father called.

Lan Yujuan looked at her phone and had a bad feeling. She immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Dad?"

Before Lan's father could speak, Lan Yujuan could vaguely hear the sound of crying coming from the other end of the phone, growing fainter and fainter.

The sound of a door closing softly finally shut out the crying.

"Yujuan, what exactly happened?"

The father's voice on the phone sounded more serious than usual.

"Qin Zhang's wife is in the living room outside, crying while holding your mother."

"Tell her that you and another close friend of hers had a misunderstanding at the wedding, putting the bride in an awkward position."

Lan Yujuan, who had just been trying to compose herself, was so angry after hearing these words that her temples throbbed.

"Dad, didn't she tell you what this misunderstanding she mentioned was all about?"

Mr. Lan remained silent for a moment, then whispered his advice:

"Honey, let's put aside any misunderstandings for now. Even just for the sake of your Uncle Qin and Aunt Ya Jing, let's not hold it against them!"

"Your brother Qin Zhang is newly married, and his wife is pregnant. Our two families have been friends for decades; let's not let anything go wrong!"
