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

Upon hearing Lan Yujuan's words, Xu Qing froze on the spot, her expression changing repeatedly.

"You just said your husband is Chen Mo?"

"Did I hear that right?!"

Lan Yujuan gazed at the other person and said calmly and resolutely:

"You heard me right, my husband is Chen Mo."

"Just now, the three of us came together."

Xu Qing looked back into her eyes, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Heh, don't you even bother to prepare a draft before you lie? Or maybe you should look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are?"

"Do you really think that a man as outstanding as Chen Mo would be so shallow as to fall for a woman who's just pretty on the outside?"

"If you had just made up some insignificant person, you might have gotten away with it today."

"But you insist on not choosing, and you even want to extort money from Chen Mo?"

"Are you trying to make sure everyone knows you two snuck in?"

Xu Qing deliberately ignored the other supporting evidence that Lan Yujuan had just mentioned, and only wanted to portray Lan Yujuan as a liar.

However, none of the onlookers were innocent; they only occasionally offered witty and humorous reminders:

"Mr. Xu, so to get to the bottom of this, did you actually go to Mr. Chen's room this afternoon? Did you really borrow a power bank from someone?"

"If what they say is true, she might really be Mrs. Chen!"

Upon hearing that someone was deliberately picking a fight, Xu Qing's face flushed red, and she hurriedly retorted:

"Whether I went or not is none of your business! What's it to you?"

"Chen Mo and I are old classmates and close colleagues. Do you think I don't know whether he's married or has a daughter?"

"This woman is trying to scam people with her child. Who knows what kind of malicious intentions they're hiding?"

This was the first time Lan Yujuan had ever met a woman who was so stubborn, arrogant, and unreasonable.

"Whether you believe it or not, I am indeed Chen Mo's legal lover."

"When you went to see Chen Mo at noon today, my child and I were in the room. We heard everything clearly and saw it all."

"If you still don't believe me, then call Chen Mo right now!"

Xu Qing sneered:

"Call Chen Mo? Heh."

"You probably already found out that Chen Mo is currently discussing a very important project with a key partner abroad, and there's no way he could possibly be away from the phone, so you did it on purpose, right?"

"Who said that just because you witnessed what happened at noon, he's necessarily in his room?"

"What if you're hiding around the corner in the hallway and happen to overhear us?"

"What wouldn't a wicked woman like you do, bringing a child to an event to steal things, deliberately disrupting the atmosphere, and then refusing to admit it?"

"Where are the security guards? What are they standing there for?"

"Get them under control right now and take them away! We'll settle accounts with them when the police arrive!"

"In my opinion, since she dared to steal my bracelet, she probably stole other people's things as well!"

"I now seriously propose that everyone present check themselves to see if any valuables have been stolen today!"

"Or, just search her body and see what's in her bag and on her person!"

Upon hearing these absurd and unreasonable words, Lan Yujuan felt her blood rush to her head, but her heart turned cold. She took several steps back while holding her child.

"We're not thieves who snuck in; we're genuinely family members of guests!"

"Restricting personal freedom and conducting open body searches are both illegal. Do you intend to knowingly break the law?"

Xu Qing glared at him with a cold smile, clearly annoyed.

"What do you think this place is?"

"Today's event is a home turf for the Xu family!"

"I saw you steal my bracelet with my own eyes. I'm having you searched right now to get it back!"

"Do you think anyone here can stop me?"

While maintaining the most relaxed expression, Xu Qing spoke the most ruthless words as she slowly approached Lan Yujuan.

Finally, almost cornering her at the dessert table, with her child in her arms and nowhere to retreat, she leaned close to Lan Yujuan's ear and whispered contemptuously in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Even if you really are Chen Mo's wife, so what?"

"Even if I were standing outside the hallway door at noon today, and you were inside your room, so what?"

"What you gave Chen Mosheng was just a little girl, not a son."

"The Chen family married you without an engagement banquet or a wedding banquet. What's the difference between this and taking a concubine in the past?"

"If he could marry you on a whim, he can also dump you on a whim!"

"However, our Xu Group has maintained long-standing good relations with the Chen family and the Qin family, with intricate business ties and shared long-term, continuous interests!"

"Businessmen always put profit first."

"Believe it or not, no matter what I do to you today, as long as our Xu Group offers enough incentives, Chen Mo will absolutely not do anything to me!"

"Because you are just an anonymous Mrs. Chen, while I am the sole heir to the Xu Group!"

After hearing these words, Lan Yujuan felt suffocated to the point of dizziness, and her mind went blank, leaving her no time to refute them.

Then, at the crucial moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and pushed Xu Qing away with one palm. Then, it pulled Lan Yujuan into its arms and took its daughter.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Xu Qing stumbled and fell on the dessert table, barely managing to stay upright by grabbing the edge of the table.

But in her panic, she accidentally knocked over the chocolate waterfall, getting covered in chocolate sauce, which splattered everywhere.

"Ah!" Xu Qing screamed.

"Chen Mo! What are you doing?"

"You, you actually pushed me for a woman?"

Chen Mo shielded his wife and daughter by his side, his face as cold as ice:

"Don't you know why I pushed you?"

"At this time today, I should be resting and spending time with my wife and daughter."

"But considering the cooperative relationship between the two parties, and out of respect for Mr. Xu, I made a special effort to make time to bring my wife and daughter to attend the event."

"I only turned around to talk to you for a moment, and as the host, you not only failed to properly entertain and take care of my wife and daughter."

"They actually pushed them to this point!"

"What did they do to offend you that you would humiliate them like this in public?"

At this moment, Xu Qing was flustered and confused. She even casually pushed away the hot towel that the waiter kindly offered her.

"Chen Mo, listen to me!"

"Before this, I had no idea that they were brought by you, let alone that they were your wife and daughters."

"After all, in our circle, you have always been known for your integrity and have almost never been close to women."

"No one has ever heard of you getting married and having children."

"So, I never even considered that they could be your wife and daughters."

Chen Mo frowned deeply, turned to look at Lan Yujuan, and asked for confirmation with his eyes.

Lan Yujuan's eyes reddened with anger, and she snapped, "Do you believe her, or do you believe me?"

"If I told you, I would have already told her about our relationship earlier."

"Instead of stopping, she hated me even more and wished she could get rid of me!"

Seeing that his wife was in a bad mood, Chen Mo immediately made a choice without hesitation.

"Xu Qing, explaining is just covering up."

"You must apologize to my wife and daughter for what happened today!"

Xu Qing was both angry and shocked. She gasped for breath and pointed angrily at Chen Mo, saying:

"Chen Mo! Have you been bewitched by this vixen?"

"You actually believe whatever she says?"

Chen Mo coldly stared at the other person and said, "She's my wife, of course I trust her, and of course I'll protect her!"

Stop changing the subject and apologize to my wife and daughter!

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Xu Qing actually dared to do such a despicable thing to his wife and daughter while he was away.

Chen Mo will never let this matter rest!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Qing panicked.

When one tactic failed, he continued to fabricate: "Why should I apologize?"

"Even if they are your wife or your daughter, so what?"

"It's clearly your daughter! She bumped into me without looking where she was going! And the bracelet on my wrist suddenly disappeared while your wife was bullying me!"

"At most, we'll call it even after tonight's events are settled, and neither of us will pursue the matter further."

"I'm not the one who did anything wrong, yet you expect me to apologize to your wife and daughter in front of so many guests?"

"Why should I? Absolutely not!"

Looking at the other person's sanctimonious and shameless demeanor, Lan Yujuan couldn't help but laugh in anger:

"Even now, you still have the nerve to say that you weren't the one who did wrong?"

"You were the one who almost stepped on my daughter with your high heels, you were the one who started it by trying to slap her, yet you still dare to continue making trouble?"

"What goes around comes around. Aren't you afraid of being punished for your wrongdoings?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately retorted angrily:

"Stop talking to me about gods and ghosts. If you're so capable, show me the evidence!"

"My friends saw with their own eyes that it was your daughter who hit me, ruining my new dress worth hundreds of thousands of yuan!"

"Not only did you never intend to compensate, but you're also trying to evade responsibility by blaming others?"

"I'm putting my words here today: with a mother like you, your daughter won't learn anything good in the future!"

Lan Yujuan was so angry that she almost fainted.

Fortunately, Chen Mo, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and caught the person around the waist.

If Chen Mo was merely embarrassed and annoyed before, now, after hearing more information and details, he could be described as furious.

"My dear daughter, I wouldn't even lay a finger on her myself, and you actually want to slap her in public?"

Chen Mo's eyes reddened with anger. He immediately turned around and said to his assistant:

"Go, do everything you can to retrieve the surveillance video from just now!"

"No need to show it to me, just project it onto the big screen!"

"Let everyone here decide who was right and who was wrong in today's events!"
