"No way, he's just a bookworm! What's so great about him? That's just praise from the neighbors, nothing special!"

You guys are even better off, being able to buy a house on the stock exchange at such a young age!

My son is still drifting abroad, unemployed and without a place to call home!

Lin Huilan seemed reluctant to have her son's excellence and competence mentioned. After a few vague remarks, she steered the conversation back on track: "Of course I know that all the old neighbors in our community are kind-hearted people."

That's precisely why we shouldn't bother others!

I always felt that what you were doing was inappropriate! If this causes trouble later, people will say our neighborhood is feudal and superstitious!

"You're really worrying too much about this!"

The main purpose of this program is to tell everyone through live broadcast that this house is not a haunted house as rumored!

As you know, because of the two murders that happened in this house, there are all sorts of rumors circulating about it!

It has actually brought considerable negative impact to the community!

Now that we have this live stream, we can better tell everyone outside the internet that there's actually nothing wrong with the house; the real problem is people's hearts. Don't you think so?!

Song Mengmeng, unusually adopting a businesslike tone, stood behind Yao Anna with a smile, explaining the matter and successfully refuting Lin Huilan's previous doubts.

"I just don't think this will work! If we do it this way, how many people will find out!"

What if it affects our family's life?! I'm selling this house to avoid trouble, not to invite trouble to my door!

In short, I disagree!

Seeing that she couldn't reason with them, Lin Huilan simply stopped pretending and, with a straight face, directly stated her demands for this trip: "You guys need to stop this right now, or else, or else I'll sue you for violating, violating that person's, privacy rights!"

Yes, it's an invasion of privacy!

"Grandma, aren't you being too nosy! I'm the registered owner of this house now! What I do with my own house is my own business!"

This has absolutely nothing to do with my house, so why are you meddling in this?

Seeing that Lin Huilan had turned hostile, Yao Anna was not one to be trifled with either. She immediately changed her attitude and glared at the old lady in front of her without any politeness.

"Invasion of privacy?!"

It's my own house, what kind of privacy violation is this?!

I heard that your family never lived in this house for even a single day; you rented it out immediately after the renovations were done! So even if I'm violating privacy rules, it's against the privacy of the previous tenants of this house!

What's it to you?!

Lin Huilan was so angry that she was about to yell back, but her landlord, Mr. Gu Mingdong, who had been silent all along, stopped her.

Gu Mingdong sighed bitterly and said with some difficulty, "I'm sorry, I know about this. We were being presumptuous and rude!"

But, but there's really no other way!

You probably don't know this, but because of the two murders that happened in our house, a lot of media and newspapers have contacted us, and the people around us have been pointing fingers at our house non-stop.

Back then, my wife and I hadn't retired yet; we were still working at the company, it was simply...

well!

We were terrified of those days! Now that things have finally calmed down, we really don't want to go through those things again!

So please understand!

"It's precisely because we don't want rumors to continue to plague this house and everyone associated with it that we decided to do this live stream!"

Song Mengmeng tilted her head, looking at Gu Mingdong, who seemed honest and simple but was actually shrouded in a dark aura, and said with a smile: "If we don't understand and explain clearly, won't we sisters also be watched and gossiped about like monkeys in the future?!"

My sister and I have saved up this little bit of money over the years, hoping to buy a house in the stock market! But if we buy a house that's constantly causing trouble, what will we do in the future?!

Therefore, if we can explain and clarify everything through live streaming, it would be a great thing for both you and us!

So why are you still trying to stop it?!

Is there something that can't be known by the public?!

Song Mengmeng's words nearly made Lin Huilan jump out of her seat. She glared at the seemingly cute girl in front of her, looking like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Song Mengmeng, however, seemed oblivious to Lin Huilan's unease and continued, "There's a saying that people with a guilty conscience always make a lot of moves. What are you afraid of and worried about?!"

"How can you talk like that, girl?! We were just trying to be helpful, and you not only didn't listen, but you also turned around and criticized us. Isn't that going too far?!"

Lin Huilan could no longer hold back and screamed out loud.

This accusation was so harsh that not only did the three girls in front of her frown, but even her husband, who had come with her, couldn't stand it anymore and turned to retort, "What are you doing?!"

"No, I, I didn't mean anything by it, I just think what this girl said was unpleasant!" Lin Huilan realized at this moment that her attitude was a bit off.
