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

Faced with the sudden accusation, Lan Yujuan quickly stood up to explain:

"You must be Shuyi, right?"

You've misunderstood!

"Before today, we didn't even know each other, let alone betray each other."

The other party is still a minor, and has just had an argument with their parents, so their emotions are not very stable.

Lan Yujuan didn't dare to say anything too harsh, so she could only try to lower her voice and explain gently.

However, the other party clearly didn't believe a word she said, and glared at her coldly, saying:

"I heard everything you just said. How dare you lie to me?"

"I thought my uncle had high standards and that the aunt he chose would be outstanding."

"I never expected him to be such a two-faced scoundrel!"

"They betrayed my whereabouts to curry favor with my uncle. Then they used that same information to try and get resources from my mother!"

"Your plan is far too shrewd. Do you really think no one can see through it?"

"Someone like you is not good enough for my uncle!"

Faced with a barrage of questions and accusations, Lan Yujuan was still reeling, unsure of how to react.

Then she saw Chen Feifei beside her, stood up abruptly, and walked over in three steps.

"Slap!" A slap landed squarely on Qin Shuyi's face.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Qin Shuyi, where is your manners?"

"Instead of reflecting on their mistakes, they have the nerve to yell at the customers?"

"I'll count to three, then you'd better apologize to your aunt right now!"

Qin Shuyi covered her face, stubbornly turned her head away, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You hit me?"

The little girl's voice was trembling.

"Mom, you actually hit me for a nasty woman who snitched on me behind my back?"

"I'm not apologizing to her!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you just kill me in front of everyone today!"

"Anyway, you now have a son, and the Qin family line will continue. Just pretend you never had a daughter like me!"

Chen Feifei was so angry that she clutched her chest, and the veins on her forehead bulged.

Seeing that she was about to lose her balance, Lan Yujuan quickly took two steps forward to help her.

The moment her hand touched her clothes, Qin Su, who was brewing tea not far away, threw down his purple clay teapot and rushed over, pulling her directly into his arms.

Qin Su held Chen Feifei in his arms, his eyes filled with anxiety, and his gaze toward Qin Shuyi was chillingly cold.

"Qin Shuyi, you're seventeen years old this year!"

"If you don't want to study and are just courting death, don't drag others down with you!"

"Your mother isn't in good health; she was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. What if she gets upset and something bad happens to her..."

Before Qin Su could finish speaking, he received a light slap on the head.

Chen Feifei frowned and said weakly, "I'm not feeling well. Please help me back to my room to rest for a while."

Qin Su didn't say anything more, bent down, picked the person up, and went straight back to the bedroom.

Chen Mo was on the phone in his study at the end of the corridor when his aunt suddenly knocked on the door and barged in, saying that the family was arguing again in the living room.

He hurriedly hung up the phone, came out of the study, and saw Qin Su carrying someone to the bedroom door.

Qin Su's expression was already bad, but when he saw Chen Mo, his expression became even more gloomy.

"Look at yourself! What kind of example are you setting for Qin Shuyi?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Su received another slap on the other side of his face from his wife, this time with noticeably more force.

"You're busy with work all day and can't even raise your daughter properly, so why blame him?"

"If anyone's to blame, it's only because your Qin family's offspring are bad!"

Chen Mo glared at the two of them, brushed past them, and completely ignored them.

He walked into the living room, where Lan Yujuan and Qin Shuyi were still facing each other across the room.

Lan Yujuan knew perfectly well that she had never done anything to wrong Qin Shuyi, so she remained completely at ease.

Qin Shuyi slowly lowered her hands from her face, and the way she looked at Lan Yujuan was like that of someone looking at an enemy.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, it feels like it might pounce and scratch someone at any moment.

What are you two doing?

Chen Mo frowned, walked straight over, and led Lan Yujuan back to the sofa to sit down.

"Qin Shuyi, you saw your aunt and didn't greet her."

"You've grown wings and want to rebel?"

Qin Shuyi stared intently at their hands, not letting go even after sitting down on the sofa.

The little girl's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

"You all bully me, you don't believe me!"

"I can't stand this house for another second. Since you all like her, I'll leave, okay?"

After shouting loudly, Qin Shuyi wiped away her tears and was about to run outside.

"stop!"

Chen Mo's two cold words immediately made Qin Shuyi, who had run to the door, stop in her tracks.

However, although the little girl obediently stopped, her back was ramrod straight, and the back of her head was facing the two of them, clearly indicating that she was still not convinced.

"return!"

Qin Shuyi bit her lower lip, hesitated for no more than three seconds, then turned around and walked back angrily.

He stared straight ahead at the air, pretending not to see the two people.

Chen Mo rubbed his temples and pointed to the sofa opposite him, saying:

"Sit down first."

"If there's any misunderstanding, let's clear it up face-to-face!"

Although Qin Shuyi was unwilling, she still obediently sat on the sofa, pouting and crying while giving him a hard time.

"What happened?"

Chen Mo turned his head, looked at Lan Yujuan in a soft voice, and asked:

"She was very happy when she came out of the room just now after hearing that you were here."

"I just went into the study to make a phone call, and now we're arguing?"

"Could it be that you two have met before?"

This sudden change caught Lan Yujuan completely off guard.

So she quickly explained the whole story to Chen Mo.

After listening, Chen Mo turned to look at Qin Shuyi again, as if she were a little fool.

"Does it really require your aunt to accidentally run into you first and then tell me before I can find you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuyi froze, clearly noticing the flaw in the statement.

"But...I clearly heard my mom say..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Shuyi suddenly changed the subject, saying sensitively:

"Do you think I'll believe you just because you say your aunt didn't tell on you?"

"Hmph, I saw it coming a long time ago, Uncle. She's completely bewitched you; you're on her side in everything!"

"I can believe you, but only if you tell me first how you knew I was there and how you found me so quickly..."

Chen Mo glanced at the little girl, picked up the teacup next to Lan Yujuan, and moistened his throat.

Then, she said quietly, "Is this difficult?"

"I called Xu Jian, asked for his current address, and then went directly there."

At this point, Qin Shuyi was completely deflated.

Chen Mo said sternly, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, you need to apologize to your aunt for what you just did wrong!"

Qin Shuyi glanced at Lan Yujuan secretly, still feeling somewhat unwilling.

"That's not entirely my fault!"

"She was chatting so enthusiastically with my mom just now, with a fawning look on her face."

"He completely charmed my mom, even proactively introducing her to connections and resources, and finding her a mentor to teach her skills..."

"And I also got slapped."

At this point, Qin Shuyi's tears started flowing again.

"My mom has never laid a hand on me, not even once, from the time I was a child..."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "You really haven't fought before?"

Qin Shuyi paused in her sobs, her expression suddenly becoming strained, and she mumbled as she got up and said:

"I suddenly remembered that I still have a few sets of test papers to do."

"Your own wife, you can coax her yourself! I'm going back to my study to do my homework..."

Remember to call me when it's time to eat!

After saying that, he quickly went back to his study.

From the moment he got up until he entered the study, he didn't dare look into Lan Yujuan's eyes again.

Chen Mo never expected that such a thing would happen at home so soon after he returned.

"Qin Shuyi is being rebellious lately, constantly going against her family and throwing tantrums everywhere. Just ignore her."

"If you're in a bad mood, we can go home now."

After listening, Lan Yujuan smiled, shook her head, and pointed to the kitchen, saying:

"Auntie, the food is almost ready. We rarely come back, so why don't we eat before going home?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

She was more concerned about Chen Feifei's health.

Chen Feifei was pregnant, and the fetus was already unstable, so she had been hospitalized for treatment.

I was so emotionally volatile just now, it's scary to think about it now.

Before we knew it, it was noon. After the auntie finished cooking, everyone came out of their rooms one after another.

Although she felt uneasy, Chen Mo mediated the situation, and she was able to finish the meal smoothly.

After lunch, they sat down for a few more minutes to drink tea and chat before heading home.

Perhaps because she had been forcing herself to stay awake all morning, Lan Yujuan started feeling sleepy as soon as she got home. She fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

She lay quietly in bed, feeling very at peace when she thought of her daughter being cared for by her grandparents and that she herself had found a new home.

She was lost in thought when suddenly, the black cell phone on the bedside table next to her started to vibrate.

The man pressed against him lazily reached for his phone, closed his eyes, and answered in a hoarse voice:

"Feed?"

Before he knew what the other person said, Chen Mo jumped up from the bed instantly.

As he got out of bed and quickly began to dress, he held his phone between his head and said:

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

"What exactly happened?"
