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

Lan Yujuan kept the video a secret from her parents.

On the one hand, the video was only circulated in alumni groups, attracting attention and discussion among acquaintances.

On the other hand, parents rarely watch these kinds of "random" videos.

Therefore, keeping this a secret from your parents doesn't require too much effort.

But now, Liu Qian's maternal grandmother suddenly came to their door, catching the whole family off guard.

"Daughter, what happened?" Lan's mother put down her teacup, gripped Lan Yujuan's hands tightly, and asked anxiously in a low voice.

Lan Yujuan grasped her mother's hand tightly and mumbled:

"Mom, don't worry, that matter is all in the past."

"From childhood to adulthood, don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?"

"I swear to God, I have never done anything that is morally wrong!"

"As for why Liu Qian's account was banned and why she got into legal trouble, I can only say that there is a cause and an effect."

Lan's mother scrutinized her daughter's expression while her mind raced.

Soon, Lan's mother connected the details of the past few days and, based on the cause and effect, guessed the general outline.

"Yujuan, tell your mother the truth!"

"Did Liu Qian take your marriage to a distant place and your visits back to your parents' home as material, embellish it, and post it online?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan's breath hitched, and she stared blankly at her own mother.

She didn't nod in agreement, but silently gave her mother a thumbs up, full of admiration!

This mother's reasoning is absolutely brilliant!

Unfortunately, she chose the wrong time to flatter this time, and ended up hitting the bullseye.

Instead of showing any joy, Lan's mother glared at her and her face fell instantly.

"Auntie, have you seen the video Liu Qian filmed?"

When Lan's mother turned around and looked at Liu Qian's grandmother again, her expression was serious and impolite.

The old woman paused, her eyes darting away. "Why are you asking this?"

"My Qianqian is a huge influencer! A ton of people have seen her videos!"

"Some people not only watch it once or twice themselves, but also casually forward it to their relatives and friends."

"Even if I've seen it, so what? Are you going to question every single person who's seen the video?"

Mother Lan calmly replied, "I can't just listen to your side of the story in this matter."

"What's the quality of the video? Why don't you find it and let me see it first?"

As Lan's mother regained her composure, the old lady's momentum gradually began to wane.

"Hmph, my Qianqian's account was banned, and all those short videos online were deleted overnight. Where am I supposed to find them for you to watch?"

"Stop changing the subject and talking about useless things!"

"For the sake of our decades-long neighborly relationship, please hurry up and find someone to restore my Qianqian's account to normal!"

"Have Lan Yujuan tidy herself up and go apologize to my Qianqian. That'll be the end of this!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding neighborly relations and making things difficult for you!"

Mother Lan didn't respond immediately. She simply picked up the freshly brewed cup of hot tea, walked straight into the kitchen, and poured it into the sink.

"Ha, you're not done with us yet?"

"Tell me, how else do you plan to bully us?"

Mother Lan sneered and immediately ordered them to leave.

"I respect your age, so I'll call you Auntie!"

"But your Liu Qian, behind our backs, has been bullying our daughter relentlessly."

"Now you've gotten your comeuppance, and you still dare to come here demanding an explanation, relying on your old reputation? You even want my daughter to apologize?"

"roll!"

"Having neighbors like yours is pure bad luck! It's disgusting!"

The old woman was so angry that she took several steps back, frantically covering her head and chest with her hands, trembling and wailing.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!"

"You Lan family members are so unreasonable! It's infuriating!"

As she spoke, the old lady rolled her eyes and pretended to lean against the wall next to her, about to lie down in the Lan family's house.

With a loud "thud!", Mr. Lan's cane struck the old lady, startling her.

"Are you sure you want to lie down?"

The old lady was about to lie down and try to extort money from someone, but after being asked this question by Mr. Lan, she became somewhat uncertain.

"Even if I lie down, what can you do to me?"

Mr. Lan remained silent, his face grim as he walked toward the door, making a move to close it.

"What, what do you want to do?" The old lady panicked and quickly backed away, gripping the door frame tightly with both hands.

Mr. Lan glared coldly at the old lady and said:

"Since you don't want to leave, you might as well stay!"

"You want to lie down? I have plenty of ways to make sure you can lie down for the rest of your life!"

The old lady was terrified; her face changed drastically. She backed towards the door, cautiously saying:

"Don't come any closer!"

"Let me tell you, I have four sons!"

"With them backing me up, you whole family will be sorry!"

Mother Lan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "That's perfect. Let your four sons and daughters-in-law take charge for you. Our family guarantees to pay the full amount!"

"Then, you'll be receiving compensation while enjoying the pampering of your four daughters-in-law. You'll definitely live a very comfortable life for the rest of your days!"

The old woman felt a tightness in her chest, and her lips began to turn purple.

"Your family is so vicious!"

"Just you wait, you'll get your comeuppance!"

The old lady ran downstairs cursing and swearing, no longer daring to cause any more trouble.

With a loud "bang!", Mr. Lan slammed the door shut.

After sitting back on the sofa, Mr. Lan angrily threw away his cane.

"It's all my fault, I'm old and useless! I can't even protect my own wife and daughters..." Mr. Lan's eyes reddened with regret.

Mother Lan sat down beside him with a pained expression, supporting Father Lan's shoulders, and comforted him in a trembling voice:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Why take the blame upon yourself when others make mistakes?

"We may be getting old, but look, our daughter has grown up!"

"Yujuan didn't want us to worry about this. Although we were kept in the dark, you can see she handled it very well."

Lan Yujuan looked like a child who had done something wrong, standing to the side with her head down, feeling both guilty and ashamed.

But hearing her mother's praise, she slowly straightened her back. Things didn't seem so bad after all.

Just as her thoughts were drifting, her parents' eyes unconsciously fell on her.

When she inadvertently looked up, she was so startled that she stopped breathing for a moment.

"Dad, Mom! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mr. Lan looked at her intently and said seriously:

"Who was the person who helped you?"

Why did he help you?

Lan Yujuan's mind went blank, and she subconsciously asked herself the same question:

Is Chen Mo the one who helped me?

If it really is him, then why would he help me?

Before she could figure it out, Lan's mother gently smoothed things over.

"Hey, Ms. Lan, don't be so serious."

Then, looking at Lan Yujuan, he said:

"Child, that person helped you so much, you must thank them properly later! Okay?"

Lan Yujuan nodded immediately, "Yes, I will!"

Mother Lan then added:

"How about this? You invite them over for a casual meal when you have some free time. Mom will cook for you!"

Lan Yujuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but replied perfunctorily:

"Um, Mom, let's talk about dinner later. He's probably quite busy with work!"

Mr. Lan was displeased and criticized him sternly:

"They did you such a big favor, why are you making such a fuss about treating them to a simple meal?"

"You didn't even ask. Is it that the other party is unwilling, or are you just being lazy and not wanting to invite them?"

"Don't think your parents can't guess what you're thinking!"

Blue's mother then said:

"No matter how busy you are at work, you definitely need to rest on weekends, right?"

"How about this, you call and ask how things are this Saturday?"

Lan Yujuan waved her hands repeatedly, "No way!"

"He definitely won't have time this Saturday, really!"

Lan's mother glanced at her daughter, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"How do you know all this without even asking?"

"What about Sunday noon?"

Lan Yujuan's heart began to race, her ears burned slightly, and she avoided eye contact as she said:

"Sunday noon? I don't know then."

"How about this, I'll call and ask later. If he doesn't have time, then we'll talk about it later..."

Mr. Lan coughed violently twice in a panic, "Cough, you, cough, hit me now!"
