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

After listening to the old lady's words, Lan Yujuan only remembered two words: Qin Su.

It turns out that this middle-aged man, whose temperament and behavior are so different, is named Qin Su.

She felt the name sounded familiar, like she'd heard it somewhere before...

Why are you looking at me like that?

"I'm not Chen Mo, how could I make decisions for him?"

Lan Yujuan looked up and saw Chen Mo's sister arguing with her ex-brother-in-law.

Qin Su sighed helplessly, put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and looked at Chen Mo directly opposite him.

"Chen Mo, what are you thinking?"

Chen Mo picked up a piece of vegetables with his chopsticks, didn't even look up, and said indifferently:

"I didn't eat any food from your Qin family, yet you're all so nosy!"

"The women I like are beneath you."

"The job I like, you guys don't even want."

"I'm just wondering, why are you all staring at me like that?"

Lan Yujuan vaguely sensed that the atmosphere in the restaurant was about to change, and she hesitated, wondering whether to pull back the chopsticks she had just reached out to eat.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the old lady slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"Chen Mo! How could I...?"

"mom!"

The old lady was furious, but before she could finish speaking, Chen Feifei interrupted her with a "Mom!"

The old lady suppressed her anger and grievances, and looked at Chen Mo with dissatisfaction, saying:

"Chen Mo, how dare you speak to your brother-in-law like that?"

Chen Mo did not respond to the old lady's words, which clearly showed that he harbored deep hostility towards her.

He simply turned his head, looked at Lan Yujuan who had been startled and put down her chopsticks, and said apologetically:

"Are you still hungry?"

"Let's go, I'll take you out to eat."

After saying that, he got up and was about to leave with Lan Yujuan.

"Why don't you try taking one step?"

As soon as Lan Yujuan stood up, she felt an invisible aura of authority emanating from Qin Su opposite her, instantly overwhelming her.

Although she knew Qin Su wasn't targeting her, her legs still felt a little weak.

But the man beside her was not afraid at all, and he put his arm around her and started to walk out.

"Chen Mo!" Qin Suteng stood up abruptly, the stool clattering backward.

"If you dare leave today, believe me, I'll make sure your company goes out of business!"

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then sneered:

"How much power do you think your Qin family has?"

"Outside of Hunan, your Qin family is nothing!"

"If my sister hadn't been here, do you think I would have come back?"

"Ha, you? Threatening me?"

"Qin Su, the only reason you're allowed to enter my Chen family is because my sister still thinks you're somewhat attractive, and she hasn't had enough of you yet."

"When you're old and your looks have faded, and my sister gets tired of you, do you think you'll still be able to bring this old woman to the Chen family's door?"

"dream!"

After uttering the last two words, Chen Mo put his arm around Lan Yujuan and left without looking back.

As Lan Yujuan changed her shoes, she could still clearly hear the frightening noises coming from the living room.

The old woman's voice was trembling with tears as she muttered a complaint in a low voice:

"Do you even know how to give advice? If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

"Chen Mo has been away for so many years, and he finally made up his mind to return to Xiangnan. Do you really have to force him to leave?"

Qin Su's deep voice clearly carried a hint of irritation:

"Mom, you were the one who insisted on bringing it up, and now you're blaming me?"

As she spoke, she clearly turned her attention to Chen Feifei again, her voice low and tinged with grievance:

"He grew up with you since he was little, and this is how you teach him?"

"You just sat there and watched him treat me like this?"

Chen Feifei's gentle voice was full of innocence:

"Or what?"

"If I don't watch it sitting down, am I supposed to stand up and watch it?"

"That's not a good idea!"

"Besides, I was only 17 when Chen Mo was born; I was still a child myself!"

"I've done my best to raise him alone and keep him from starving to death."

"Back then, he grew up in such harsh conditions; it's a miracle he even survived!"

"What kind of person do you expect me to raise him to be?"

"Why didn't you do this sooner?"

Qin Su was truly anxious this time and quickly coaxed in a low voice:

"Feifei, you know that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Feifei asked back.

"For my daughter's sake, I don't want to embarrass you. You should leave!"

"You don't need to clean the kitchen anymore, we have a housekeeper."

"I'm tired!"

As soon as Lan Yujuan entered the elevator, she heard the sound of a door slamming inside the apartment.

As the elevator doors closed, she huddled in the corner, too afraid to speak.

She followed Chen Mo all the way down to the garage and got into the car.

"Did I scare you just now?" Chen Mo glanced at the rearview mirror and whispered.

Lan Yujuan nodded gently, "Yes, a little."

Chen Mo didn't say anything more until the car drove out of the underground parking garage, gradually moving away from the residential area and back into the bustling neighborhood.

"Are you still hungry?" Chen Mo glanced at her again and said gently, "I'll take you to get some more."

It was as if nothing had happened.

Lan Yujuan pondered for a moment and felt that although on the surface, Chen Mo seemed to have returned to normal.

But after all, the conflict just now really happened. People's hearts aren't made of stone, so how could they not feel bad at all?

Why don't you go home early and let him be alone for a while?

After she understood, she smiled gently:

"I'm almost full, can you just take me home?"

Chen Mo pulled over, turned around, and stared at him for a moment. "Really?"

Lan Yujuan nodded sincerely, "Yes, I'm really full!"

A profound meaning flashed in Chen Mo's eyes as he said calmly:

"Oh well!"

"I was thinking about whether I should find an opportunity to talk to you in detail about the private restaurant courtyard you wanted to rent last time."

"In that case, let's do it next time!"

As he spoke, he made a move to start the journey and take Lan Yujuan home.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing about renting out the courtyard, Lan Yujuan immediately exclaimed:

"Wait a moment!"

She raised her hand to touch her stomach, her face flushed, and said:

"I suddenly realized that eating a little more wouldn't be a bad idea."

Chen Mo turned to look at her again, his face full of sincerity:

"You absolutely mustn't force yourself to accommodate me just because I haven't eaten enough."

Lan Yujuan quickly waved her hand, "No, not at all!"

"How about this, you decide what to eat and where to eat? I'll do whatever you say!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Really?"

"Yes! Guaranteed authentic!"

Chen Mo stepped on the gas and took Lan Yujuan directly to another new residential area.

The more Lan Yujuan looked at the name of the residential complex, the more familiar it seemed, especially with the building, unit, and floor...

When the two stepped out of the elevator again, Lan Yujuan subconsciously took out her phone and found her property certificate information.

"Xiangnan Yipin, Building 6, Unit 1, Room 801".

She had just finished looking at the property certificate information when she looked up and saw Chen Mo enter the password and open the door to her neighbor's apartment 802.

"You live here?" Lan Yujuan asked in disbelief.

Chen Mo stiffened slightly, and said in a clear voice with his back to her:

"Cough, cough! Yeah, I just bought it recently."
