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

Upon hearing the news that her daughter's grandfather was nearing the end of his life, Lan Yujuan was overwhelmed with complex emotions.

After all, they were people who had lived under the same roof and spent four years together.

She had served him wholeheartedly and sincerely called him "Dad" for four years.

Even seeing a stray dog ​​on the street suddenly die would make an ordinary person sad. Let alone someone so familiar?

Lan Yujuan took a deep breath and whispered into the phone:

My condolences!

"Xiaoman and I won't be going back."

Although she was somewhat moved upon hearing the news.

However, during those four years of living and working together, she never wronged anyone in the Liu family, nor did she owe them anything!

She remembered every single thing the Liu family had done to her and her daughter, and she would never forgive them.

The sister-in-law on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback.

Once they realized what was happening, it exploded instantly!

"Lan Yujuan! Don't go too far!"

"If it weren't for Xiaoman, do you think I would have the audacity to make this call to you?"

"Liu Xiaoman is our Liu family's granddaughter. Her own grandfather is critically ill, and Liu Xiaoman must return to care for him and fulfill her filial duty!"

Lan Yujuan almost laughed in anger after hearing this.

I felt a little uneasy when I heard that Liu Zhiyuan's father was critically ill, but now that feeling has completely disappeared!

"Liu Zhifang, if you're out of your mind, go to the hospital and get it checked out. Don't push your luck with me!"

"Don't call me about anything related to your Liu family anymore!"

"Let me take Xiaoman back for the funeral? No way!"

The sister-in-law across the phone was furious, wishing she could come through the phone.

"Fine, fine! You just wait!"

Lan Yujuan was too lazy to pay attention anymore, so she hung up the phone and added the number to her blacklist.

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yujuan immediately silenced her phone, tossed it aside, and began to focus on playing with building blocks with her daughter.

The winter sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the living room, warming everyone's hearts.

The mother and daughter were having a wonderful time playing quietly at home!

Before we knew it, it was almost eleven o'clock, and finally there was some noise at the door.

The mother and daughter had just turned their heads when they saw Mr. and Mrs. Lan returning with large and small bags.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yujuan quickly got up and went to take it.

"Mom, why did you buy so many groceries? They're so heavy!"

"Next time I go grocery shopping, I'll have my dad watch the house."

"I'll go with you, I'll help you carry them!"

Mr. Lan glared at his daughter, immediately protesting, and muttered as he dodged her hand:

"I just walk slowly, it's not like I can't carry it!"

No sooner had I said that than my little granddaughter came running over barefoot, "thump, thump, thump!"

The little guy hugged his father's leg tightly, tilting his head back and acting cute:

"Grandpa, hug me~"

Mr. Lan only glanced at her before his serious expression crumbled. He casually dropped what he was holding and bent down to hug his little granddaughter.

"Oh, my little darling~"

"I missed Grandpa so much this morning!"

Lan Yujuan sighed helplessly, bent down to pick up the things on the ground, and followed her mother into the kitchen.

The mother and daughter chatted as they picked vegetables in the kitchen.

Lan's mother laughed and said, "As soon as we left the house, your father started grumbling, worried that your brother Qin Zhang wouldn't be able to take care of the child alone."

"We haven't even bought everything yet, and they're already clamoring to come back right away!"

"I thought about calling you, but I was afraid of disturbing your sleep..."

Lan Yujuan washed a tomato and started eating it, then turned her attention to the cucumber next to her.

"This much food is more than enough!"

"Could it be that we have guests again at lunchtime?"

Lan Yujuan had just reached out her hand when her mother gently slapped it away, smiling and scolding:

"There's fruit at home, but you don't eat it; you just keep ruining my vegetables!"

"There was no one else at home at noon, just your brother Qin Zhang and one of his comrades."

As she spoke, Madam Lan glanced at her watch and turned to instruct:

"Go next door now and invite the guests over."

"There aren't many dishes, and we can eat in forty-five minutes!"

Lan Yujuan thought of Chen Mo, whom she had seen that morning, raised her hand to scratch her brow, and felt her ears burning.

"Mom, it seems that Brother Qin Zhang's comrade-in-arms has already left. He probably won't be coming to our house for lunch."

Lan's mother glanced at her daughter and chuckled, "They're gone, they won't be coming back, will they?"

"Don't worry, we already agreed this morning that they'll definitely come!"

"Stop standing around in the kitchen, hurry up and knock on the door!"

Lan Yujuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go now!"

Qin's father was a renowned orthopedic surgeon who was rehired by the hospital after retiring.

Qin's mother runs her own company, and her son doesn't take over, so there's no question of her retiring.

Qin's father usually cooks after get off work.

Qin Zhang can't cook, so during his days off at home, he had no idea what to eat for lunch and had to come to the Lan family to "mooch" meals.

As Lan Yujuan reached the door, she recalled the scene when she encountered Chen Mo that morning, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

She made a quick decision, turned around and went back to the living room to pick up her daughter to encourage her, and only then did she dare to knock on the Qin family's door.

She had rang the doorbell three times before the person inside finally arrived.

"Eat, eat!" Lan Yujuan looked up at the tall man in front of her, her eyes glazed over, and her voice began to stutter.

"Where's my brother?" she whispered, peering into the house.

Chen Mo scratched his head, turned slightly to the side, and said in a low, hoarse voice:

"He had a little to drink and fell asleep."

Sure enough, there was a figure lying on the sofa.

Lan Yujuan put her daughter down and whispered, "Baby, go call your uncle for dinner!"

The little guy nodded excitedly and dashed into the house.

Then, pressed against the sofa, he hugged his uncle's head and started nuzzling him repeatedly...

"Uncle, Uncle~"

"Get up, let's eat!"

Qin Zhang hadn't even opened his eyes yet when he groggily hugged the little guy. When he sat up, he picked the little guy up as well.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Let's go eat!"

Qin Zhang, holding the baby in one arm and rubbing his eyes with the other, went out in a daze.

As soon as he entered the Lan family's house, upon hearing that he would have to wait for more than forty minutes, he lay down and fell asleep on the Lan family's sofa again.

Chen Mo was left alone, sitting upright on the sofa, watching cartoons with the little one.

As soon as Lan Yujuan arrived at the Qin family's house, she smelled the strong odor of alcohol in the living room.

Judging from Qin Zhang's appearance, it seems that after he left, Chen Mo went back and the two of them started drinking again early in the morning.

She glanced at Chen Mo a couple more times, feeling a pang of pity. After making him a cup of honey water, she brought it over and said softly:

"There's a single bed in the study, would you like to lie down for a while?"

"I'll knock on the door to call you when the food is ready."

Chen Mo turned to look at her, his mind clearly a little slow, and it took him a while to nod.

"Um."
