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

When she heard the knocking, Lan Yujuan was curled up in the study reading a novel.

Having had unpleasant experiences opening the door too eagerly the first two times, this time she simply put on her headphones and pretended no one was home.

Since her parents weren't home anyway, she didn't want to entertain any legitimate guests who came to visit.

Sure enough, the knocking stopped after a while.

Lan Yujuan guessed that the other person must have left. Her fluctuating heart gradually began to calm down.

To her surprise, her phone rang again the next second, startling her!

She picked it up and saw that it was a call from her high school classmate, Li Rui.

"Feed?" Lan Yujuan answered instinctively.

Perfect timing! She also wanted to hear the gossip about the two of them on their date!

"Lan Yujuan, are you home now?" Li Ruiqing's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lan Yujuan was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she heard Qin Zhang's voice come from the other end of the phone again, anxiously saying:

"Where else can she go besides staying home reading novels?"

"Hurry up, get her to come out and open the door!"

"If she doesn't come out soon, I'm going to take the key and open the door myself."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan quickly replied, "I'm home!"

Then, while putting on his slippers and getting off the daybed, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away!"

As soon as the door opened, Qin Zhang rushed in.

"Why are you home alone? Where are Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan? Where did they take the baby?"

"Where's that beast surnamed Liu? He's brought his family here again to cause trouble?"

"Fine, we haven't even gone to their door yet, and they're already causing trouble for the Liu family! The Liu family keeps coming to our door, making things difficult for us—it's outrageous!"

Qin Zhang was furious and went into the house cursing.

Li Rui followed behind him, also entering the Lan family for the first time, looking around with curiosity in his eyes.

Lan Yujuan quickly gestured for the two to sit down, then, while making tea, serving fruit and snacks, she explained:

"Brother, don't worry!"

"Don't worry, I've already sent the Liu family all away, and they definitely won't be coming back!"

"Mom and Dad took the baby to a trial class at kindergarten. They probably stayed there around noon to try out the food. They left early this morning and haven't come back yet."

At this point, Lan Yujuan asked in confusion:

"But didn't you two go on a date?"

"How did you two find out so quickly that the Liu family came to our door?"

Qin Zhang avoided eye contact, picked up his teacup, and began to sip his tea.

"Hmm, this tea smells nice today. What kind of tea did you brew?"

Just as Li Rui was about to speak, he noticed Qin Zhang's unusual reaction and stopped himself in time, then began to change the subject.

"Is it good? I'll try some too..."

Based on their reactions and after a brief consideration of the timeline, Lan Yujuan quickly made a rough guess.

"You two, you didn't watch the live stream online, did you?"

Qin Zhang kept his head down, busy blowing on the tea leaves, pretending not to hear.

Li Rui, who was sandwiched between the two, became visibly uneasy.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as yes," Lan Yujuan said rationally.

Li Rui finally couldn't hold back any longer, got up, pulled Lan Yujuan aside, and muttered:

"That Liu Qian, she's a real scumbag!"

"You're classmates, and when she saw you being bullied, instead of helping you, she hid and started a live stream, using your situation to gain traffic for herself!"

"Those two women who came to cause trouble for you this morning, weren't they your former mother-in-law and former sister-in-law?"

"You have no idea, clips of Liu Qian's live stream from back then have gone viral in our alumni group!"

As Li Rui spoke, he immediately took out his phone, found all the video clips that had been reposted in various groups, and then clicked to play them.

"See for yourself!"

Lan Yujuan took the phone and discovered that these videos had all been edited.

What she said after that was completely muted in the video.

However, Tian Xiuhua's tearful words to the camera were all clearly recorded.

When Lan Yujuan clicked on it, she immediately understood. It seemed that Liu Qian had really put her heart and soul into editing these videos!

Li Rui looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache, and said:

"Now everyone is spreading rumors that you claimed to have married far away over the past four years, but in reality, you were a fraudster who tricked people into marriage in another city."

"Lan Yujuan, although we haven't been in contact for the past four years, I've always believed that you're not that kind of person!"

Lan Yujuan held her phone, intently scrolling through videos, her gaze calm, but her eyes thoughtful.

Qin Zhang, sitting on the sofa, grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slapped his thigh, unable to sit still any longer.

"No! This isn't over!"

"Yujuan, send me the Liu family's address. I need to go there in person!"

"They're clearly the ones at fault, so why do they dare to turn around and accuse us?"

"I'm leaving today. Since they dared to publicly slander you, I must make them apologize to you live on air!"

Lan Yujuan put away her phone, smiled, and handed it back to Li Rui, while giving her a hug.

"Li Rui, thank you!"

Then, he walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up his cup of tea, and calmly said:

"Brother, just don't get involved in this!"

"The distance Liu Qian filmed during her live stream was neither too far nor too close, so people only said it looked like me, but they couldn't be 100% sure."

"Anyway, I won't admit it. Even if the video goes viral online, what does it have to do with me?"

Qin Zhang frowned and asked with concern:

"But that Liu Qian, who was subtly attacking you and ruining your reputation, don't you care?"

Lan Yujuan said frankly, "I don't rely on my reputation for a living, so why should I care about that stuff?"

"Everyone is so busy every day, and the video content is so boring."

"At first, people might have just watched out of curiosity, but who would have the time to stare at me every day?"

"Besides, if Liu Qian really dares to name me, then I can sue her for infringing on my portrait rights, defamation rights, and privacy!"

"Maybe if we win the case, we can even make a profit!"

Hearing these words, Li Rui felt very uncomfortable.

Her eyes were slightly red, as if she were the one who had been wronged.

"What's Liu Qian's motive?"

"He's a celebrity, after all, so why does he keep doing things that harm others and don't benefit himself!"

She walked over, sat down next to Lan Yujuan, and then took her hand and advised:

"Yujuan, in my opinion, you still need to find a boyfriend!"

"If it were just you, and your aunt and uncle were still young, I definitely wouldn't have given you this advice."

"But your uncle and aunt are getting old, and your daughter is still young, and she has no siblings to help her."

"That's just how reality is. Without a man to support you at home, anyone can bully you!"

"But this time, you must keep your eyes open and choose carefully!"

"Everything else is secondary; the most important thing is good character!"
