"Go ahead and scream, let everyone see your true colors!"

Wenlan simply opened her media account, started a live broadcast, and even took the initiative to provoke the manager.

The manager was furious, but for the sake of the restaurant's reputation, he held back and did not retaliate, only avoiding the attack.

Just then, a gentle voice rang out from the doorway: "What's wrong? What happened, Lanlan?"

Madam Ji, who had been waiting for Wenlan to return for a long time, was worried and asked Qiqi to stay at the restaurant and asked a waiter to watch over her while she came to look for him.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, they found Wenlan confronting and physically fighting with the restaurant manager.

Upon hearing this voice, Wenlan turned around awkwardly, her face dark, and said, "Qingqing, what's wrong with your mall? Why are you inviting just any business to set up shop here?"

"What's wrong?" Madam Ji had never seen Wenlan so sharp-tongued before, and she frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This restaurant moved in when the mall opened, and it has been doing very well for many years. It is famous for its delicious food and good service, and no one has ever complained about it.

Therefore, Madam Ji did not blindly believe Wenlan's words, but instead wanted to find out the truth first.

Seeing that Madam Ji wasn't on her side, Wen Lan was furious.

“I heard this woman screaming in the bathroom and was worried that something might have happened to her, so I came in to see if she needed help. But she not only locked the door from the inside, but also grabbed my hand and said there was a ghost after I opened the door with my key. After I calmed her down, she couldn’t keep up the act and then accused us of slipping on the water on the bathroom floor and demanding that we take responsibility.”

The first waiter to enter said angrily, "Our restroom floor is always kept clean by a cleaning lady, and there's never any water on it."

Madam Ji glanced at the clean and tidy floor, and at Wenlan's clothes, which were messy but not damp at all, and knew that Wenlan was probably shirking responsibility.

However, Madam Ji grasped another key point: "Lanlan, what do you mean by ghosts?"

Wenlan's expression changed drastically. Now that she had calmed down, she suddenly thought of that brat's face, which looked exactly like the one she had aborted when it was already formed.

This is a secret; nobody knows about it, not even my husband. It absolutely cannot be revealed.

Her expression shifted several times, her eyes lowered to conceal the guilt in them: "It's nothing, maybe I was just too tired and misread it. But their floor..."

"The floor is indeed dry. Lanlan, you must have slipped and fallen by accident," Mrs. Ji said fairly. "How about I take you to the hospital for a check-up first, and then take you home?"

Wenlan glanced at the floor; there was indeed no water, and she was completely dry.

If there had been water, her clothes would have been soaked with it after she rolled around like that. Now she has no way to explain herself.

Wenlan gritted her teeth, suppressing her frustration: "Never mind, I'm fine. Let's go eat first."

"Are you really alright?" Madam Ji looked at her with some concern.

Wenlan felt humiliated and shook her head, her face pale. "It's nothing, let's go." As she turned, she coldly looked at the manager and the waiter. "I just couldn't be bothered to argue with you lowly people; it wouldn't lower my status. Otherwise, I would have made you pay!"

The waiter gave a sarcastic smirk, but the manager said nothing and respectfully ushered Mrs. Ji out.

When the two returned to the restaurant, Qiqi was sitting in a high chair, eating with her mouth full of oil, while the waiter was cutting her steak and removing fish bones.

Seeing them return, Qiqi flashed a sweet smile: "Mommy, Auntie, come and eat, it's so delicious!"

Wenlan was already feeling aggrieved, and now seeing Qiqi, a junior, eating before she even returned, her anger flared up instantly.

Turning to Madam Ji, he said sarcastically, "Qingqing, I'm not trying to be mean, but no matter how much you love your daughter, you still have to teach her all the proper manners. Otherwise, you'll be the one who loses face for the Ji family."

"What?" Hearing that her daughter was ill-mannered, Madam Ji pursed her lips in displeasure.

Wenlan, oblivious to her surroundings, continued, "Qiqi is indeed cute, but she's from an orphanage after all. She has no manners and doesn't even know the rule that you can't eat until your elders are at the table. We're close, so it's fine if she acts like this in front of me, but if she's this unruly at banquets in the future, who knows what people will say about the Ji family behind her back. You haven't been involved in the company all these years; it's been Brother Chengfeng running everything. But you can't just be a burden to him instead of helping him!"

These words were quite harsh. Even if the two are very close friends, her words were somewhat excessive.

"How we raise our child is our own business, it's none of your concern. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with our Qi Bao."

Madam Ji, a gentle person who always wears a smile, turned cold at this moment. "She's just hungry. She's only three years old. Do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

Wenlan was surprised that Madam Ji would defend this adopted wild girl so much. Seeing that she was really angry, she gritted her teeth to suppress her anger and explained with a forced smile.

"Qingqing, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."

Wenlan clenched her fists and forced a smile, "Of course I wouldn't hold a grudge against a three-year-old. I just know you really want a daughter, and I'm afraid that once you get your wish, you'll forget about boundaries and spoil Qiqi. Such a cute little girl, if she's misunderstood and criticized by uninformed people in the future, you'll definitely be sad, won't you?"

It must be said that Wenlan is quite eloquent.

Her words were entirely from Madam Ji's perspective, and everything she said made perfect sense, making Madam Ji feel embarrassed to continue being angry with her.

Just as Madam Ji's expression was about to soften, Qiqi suddenly tilted her little head and said, "But usually when we eat at home, Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers sit down at the table quickly and don't keep us waiting long. I always wait until Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers are all at the table before I eat, so I wouldn't be so rude. This time, Auntie took too long in the bathroom, and that's why I couldn't hold it in anymore. Auntie, what were you doing in the bathroom? Why didn't you come out for so long?"

Recalling what had just happened in the restroom, Wenlan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

"It's nothing, my aunt called and I lost track of time." Wenlan made an excuse to change the subject, then her eyes darted around as she took something out of her bag and handed it to Madam Ji. "I misspoke earlier. This is a Buddhist rosary I got for you a few days ago from the temple. It's for your safety. Here, don't hold it against me, okay?"
