When Su Xiaonuan returned home and found no one inside, she heard two children talking outside, so she opened the door and went out.

"Xiao Nuan, you're back!" Su Ming picked up Dou Dou. "Come on, let's go home, Mommy's back."

Ye Mei picked up Guo Guo and walked over to her daughter, asking with concern, "Are you exhausted? Come inside and rest. I'll go cook."

"What were those two kids yelling about just now?" Su Xiaonuan reached out and picked up Guoguo. "I could hear them yelling even from inside the house."

"Mommy, we saw a turtle bastard!" Guoguo cupped her face in her hands and squeezed it, then kissed her pouting lips.

"You bastard?" Su Xiaonuan didn't react for a moment.

“Xiao Nuan, don’t listen to the children’s nonsense,” Ye Mei explained. “We just ran into two people on the stairs, a woman and a man. Dou Dou and Guo Guo both called the man a turtle bastard. I’ll have to teach them a lesson later, they can’t call people that.”

"Do you think that guy looks like this?" Xiao Nuan tucked Guo Guo into Ye Mei's arms, gesturing with her hands. "Mediterranean hair, big belly, short, thick legs, and a burly build?"

"Xiao Nuan, do you know that man?" Su Ming asked thoughtfully. "Or do you have some kind of grudge against him?"

"If he looks like I described, then he truly is my mortal enemy." Su Xiaonuan then described the woman's appearance. "A delicate and gentle face, with a pitiful look?"

"The woman had her back to us, so we couldn't see what she looked like," Su Ming shook his head.

"It really is that pair of adulterers." Su Xiaonuan glanced down, then turned and ran to the balcony, craning her neck to look down.

Sure enough, she saw Lan Yin and Xie Zhi get into the car.

The car didn't leave the residential area; instead, it headed towards the lake.

Within Agile Property, near the lakeside garden, there is a row of independent courtyards surrounding a natural lake.

It seems they must live here.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Mei walked over and also craned her neck to look down.

She didn't see anything; the car from before had already driven away.

Su Xiaonuan held Ye Mei's shoulders tightly. "Mom, be careful in the future. If anything happens, shout for help."

"Xiao Nuan, don't be afraid!" Ye Mei sensed her daughter's nervousness. "We were both soldiers. We're more than capable of dealing with bad guys like this. Even though your dad and I are old, we're in great shape."

"Xiao Nuan, tell me, what kind of people are these two that make you so worried?" Su Mingyi asked from the balcony doorway. "And Dou Dou and Guo Guo, why did they call that guy a turtle bastard?"

Su Xiaonuan pulled her mother into the house, made a cup of tea for her parents, and then told them about her affair with that despicable couple. The more she talked, the angrier she became.

After finishing his story, he actually drank the cup of tea he had brewed for Ye Mei.

"Oh, I see!" Ye Mei patted her daughter's shoulder. "Don't be afraid, with your dad and me here, no one will dare to bully you."

“Xiao Nuan, your mother is right. We will protect you and the child.” Su Ming raised his fist. “They dare to bully my daughter. They’re really asking for trouble. Tomorrow, Dad will visit our comrades and relatives. All these years, we’ve been hiding. Now, it’s time for us to go and see these friends and relatives.”

“I’ll go with you, bringing our two precious grandchildren with me,” Ye Mei said proudly. “Let them see our Dou Dou and Guo Guo, and by the way, tell everyone about how Xiao Nuan was framed back then. Our daughter isn’t a bad girl; she was also a victim. And, by sheer luck, Xiao Nuan is now living a very happy life.”

"Look how smug you are. I knew you wanted to take DouDou and GuoGuo with you." Su Ming pointed at Ye Mei and laughed. "Today, your mouth has been smiling non-stop, it hasn't closed once."

"You're no different, why are you criticizing me?" Ye Mei exposed his true colors. "At least, I won't go around asking people if the child looks like me. If they say yes, you'll be as happy as a child, but if they say no, you'll just stand there with a cold shoulder, won't you?"

...

While Su Ming and Ye Mei were arguing, Su Xiaonuan set the packed lunch on the table and laid out the chopsticks.

"Dad, Mom, stop arguing, it's time to eat."

Su Xiaonuan was filled with happiness; she loved this atmosphere.

The parents may seem to be bickering and even revealing each other's secrets, but what they are really showing is their deep affection for each other.

"Time to eat? Your mom hasn't cooked yet?" Su Ming sniffed the air. "Where's that smell coming from?"

"I cooked two dishes at the restaurant and packed them up especially for you guys." Su Xiaonuan held out her hands. "Dad, Mom, come and try my cooking."

"It smells so good!" Ye Mei pushed Su Ming away. "I could smell the fragrance from the balcony."

DouDou and GuoGuo are already seated at the table.

DouDou patted the person next to her. "Grandpa, sit here."

Guoguo patted the person next to her. "Grandma, sit here."

These two kids are really something; they're closer to whoever takes care of them.

Xiao Nuan had already scooped up four bowls of rice and pushed them in front of them.

"Why are there only four bowls of rice? Aren't you going to eat?" Su Ming asked her, picking up his chopsticks.

"I've already eaten at the restaurant. Everyone works so hard, so I cooked a few dishes and ate with them." As she spoke, she used clean chopsticks to pick some shredded pork with garlic sauce into her parents' bowls.

"Mommy, I want meat." The two children pushed the bowl over together.

She then added shredded pork with garlic sauce to the children's bowls, and ladled two spoonfuls of oily broth into each bowl. She mixed the rice with the broth, which was DouDou and GuoGuo's favorite way to eat it. They could eat a whole bowl of rice by mixing the broth from the shredded pork with garlic sauce.

"Mmm." Su Ming couldn't wait to take a bite. "It really is delicious."

After tasting it, Ye Mei looked at her daughter with some suspicion. "Xiao Nuan, did you really make this?"

“Yes.” Xiao Nuan pointed to the dishes on the table. “I’ll cook some more delicious dishes for you on the opening day. Just make do with what you have today.”

Although there were only two dishes, the portions were generous.

After that, the two adults and two children ate in silence, focusing only on eating their food.

Su Ming and Ye Mei both ate two bowls of rice. They usually eat very little for dinner and haven't eaten two bowls of rice in many years.

I broke my vow today.

The food and dishes that Xiao Nuan brought back were eaten clean by them.

Su Ming patted his round belly and said, "No wonder the kids say the food at the restaurant isn't as good as Mom's cooking. It's so true. Look how capable our daughter is now. The dishes she cooks are so delicious I almost bit my tongue."

"Xiao Nuan, Mom is so happy." Tears welled up in Ye Mei's eyes. "Seeing you today, Mom knows you must have suffered a lot. Otherwise, how could you, who has never cooked before, make such delicious food? My daughter, Mom is so sorry. We weren't there for you when you were wronged and in pain, and we even resented you in our hearts. I'm so sorry..."

Ye Mei choked up and couldn't continue.
