"Anyone dares to tarnish the reputation of the Xie family."

She herself must be quite remarkable to have raised such an outstanding son as Xie Lanshen.

Such a casual remark left Grandma Qian speechless.

The Xie family has served in the military for generations, and their ranks are all quite high. Old Master Xie himself has an excellent relationship with the high-ranking leaders in the military.

No matter how jealous or instigating Old Lady Qian is, her family will never be able to catch up with the Xie family's status in this lifetime.

I was drenched in water and had my sore spot touched.

Grandma Qian was furious. Fearing that Zhao Haiyin would bring out a basin of water and splash her again, making a fool of herself in front of everyone, she immediately jumped back a step and left, cursing.

"It's just being a leader, what's so great about it?"

"Once my grandson has a son, and then a grandson, he'll definitely be better than any of you!"

Zhao Haiyin and Grandma Xie were both speechless at these words.

With such perseverance, instead of properly encouraging her grandson to improve himself, Old Lady Qian used it all to gossip and spread rumors.

With this kind of attitude, even if they have another brood of children, it's unlikely that any of them will amount to anything.

"Zhihuan, I'm sorry you had to see this."

Zhao Haiyin poured a cup of tea for Shen Zhihuan and Sister-in-law Liu, and gently comforted them:

"Calm down. That's just how Old Mrs. Qian is. She'll be fine after a good scolding. There's no need to take her to heart."

In front of her respected elders, Shen Zhihuan reverted to her obedient and sensible demeanor, accepting the cup with both hands before explaining:

“Brother Xie was injured while carrying out his mission for the country and the people. As ordinary people, we should be grateful and respectful. How can we use his injury to humiliate him?”

"Moreover, Grandma Xie, Grandpa Xie, and Auntie are all very good people. I don't want anyone to distort the truth and insult your reputation, so I couldn't help but confront her."

The rising steam from the teacup blurred Shen Zhihuan's eyes, but she smiled faintly, making her appear even more gentle and serene.

"Although I may have acted impulsively, I don't regret what I did. If I had to do it again, I would just be even tougher."

"Zhihuan, you did the right thing, we are all very grateful to you."

Zhao Haiyin and Grandma Xie couldn't help but laugh. They truly admired Shen Zhihuan's humble yet reasonable personality.

"Although we don't know the specifics of the feud between you and Shen Ling, we are much closer to you, Zhihuan, than to her."

"If the Shen family needs any help, just let us know."

Shen Zhihuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then thank you in advance, Grandma and Auntie."

While it was still early, she took Sister Liu to the newspaper office to discuss the publication with Zhuang Ping.

"We originally planned to publish the results in the newspaper as soon as the hospital's test results came out, but now it seems a bit too hasty."

"I think we should gather the evidence first and then publish the relevant news after Shen Ling marries into the family."

Shen Zhihuan roughly estimated the time: "If nothing unexpected happens, Shen Ling will marry into the Gu family this week."

Zhuang Ping nodded in agreement.

“I was just about to discuss this with you. If we just publish the hospital’s test results, I don’t think that will be enough to show how vicious Shen Yongcai’s family is.”

"Now that they're in detention, I can take this opportunity to gather material and organize my article properly."

Zhuang Ping hadn't seen anyone as despicable as the Shen family in a long time. He decided that he must use all his strength to describe all the evil deeds of Shen Yongcai and his gang.

He wanted all the readers of the newspaper to feel how angry he was that his heart ached!

-

After finishing all the tasks, it was already quite late. Shen Zhihuan personally escorted Sister Liu to meet up with Liu Qiang, and only after watching them leave did she turn and depart.

When she returned, she found the Xie family's courtyard packed with people.

Moreover, judging from their attire and aura, these people are clearly big shots from the military.

Shen Zhihuan currently has no official status in the military, and it seems somewhat inappropriate for her to suddenly appear in front of so many high-ranking leaders.

She was hesitating whether she should leave and come back later when Grandpa Xie spotted her at the door and excitedly called her over.

"Zhihuan, come here quickly, we're all talking about you."

Shen Zhihuan was slightly surprised, but she did not show any resistance. She walked up to Grandpa Xie and greeted him in a graceful manner.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Those standing next to Grandpa Xie turned to look when they heard the voice.

Some of them were wearing military uniforms, while others wore simple and understated Zhongshan suits.

Although his facial expression was kind, his resolute eyes carried a strong aura.

After all, the top leaders of this era were all real combat veterans, and their sharp gazes were enough to overwhelm most people.

Fortunately, Shen Zhihuan had dealt with many such scenarios in her previous life, so she did not show any fear.

She stood beside Old Master Xie with her eyes lowered, not looking around, but still keeping a polite smile on her lips.

His humble yet assertive attitude impressed the bigwigs, and only then did a genuine smile appear on their faces.

The man in the middle wearing a Zhongshan suit commented with a faint smile.

"Indeed, the young are truly formidable."

An officer in military uniform with a square face also laughed and chimed in agreement.

"Haha, back when I first joined the army, I probably didn't have as much composure as this young girl."
