Although Bai Shanhe is advanced in years, she walks steadily, has sharp eyes, and exudes an air of authority without anger.

She walked straight to Yan Ning's side.

He sheltered his granddaughter behind him like an old pine tree.

His cold gaze swept over every face in the Su family.

"I just arrived and I heard you bullying Yan Ning, and you even dared to say bad things about my daughter?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word struck like a hammer blow to the hearts of every member of the Su family:

"Your Su family is truly impressive!"

Su Yunting felt a pang of fear from that gaze and stammered an explanation:

"No, this, this is really a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstand?"

Bai Shanhe immediately interrupted, letting out a cold laugh, her laughter laced with icy malice:

"How did you treat Yan Ning after she returned to your Su family?"

"Her father just passed away, and instead of helping with the funeral arrangements, you're rushing to scheme over a child's inheritance. Is this a misunderstanding?"

"A group of people surrounding a young girl, using threats and inducements, and this is a misunderstanding?!"

With each question she asked, she took a step closer.

Su Yunting was intimidated by her imposing presence and unconsciously stepped back.

Bai Yuzhen, the aunt who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward.

Standing on the other side of Yan Ning, the voice was clear and cold:

"Isn't that right? When my sister was alive, you were always scheming against her."

"Now that she's gone, you still want to bully her children? You've completely disgraced the Su family!"

Another uncle from the Bai family who had come along also spoke up loudly.

The words were addressed to all the members of the Su family present:

"Our Bai family's daughters and granddaughters are not for you to mistreat!"

"Yan Ning's father's will is in black and white and has legal effect! If anyone dares to cause trouble again, our Bai family will not hesitate to take them to court!"

"Let everyone judge for themselves and see whose behavior is so disgraceful!"

Grandpa Su was embarrassed and wanted to put on airs as an elder:

"You can't say that. We're family too. We can talk things over..."

"discuss?"

Bai Shanhe's gaze suddenly turned to him, without any politeness:

"When your whole family was plotting to force my granddaughter to hand over her inheritance, not a single one of you considered that we were family! Now you want to negotiate? Too late!"

Su Muyao turned pale with anger and couldn't help but want to retort:

"What right do you have...?"

"Don't speak!"

Jiang Lan grabbed her daughter's arm and scolded her in a low voice.

She could tell that the Bai family had come prepared.

Every sentence is logical, every word is piercing to the heart.

Continuing to argue like this won't lead to anything good.

Jiang Lan immediately put on a fake smile.

She rushed to Bai Shanhe and tried to take her hand.

Bai Shanhe subtly avoided it.

Jiang Lan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and tried to smooth things over on her own:

"Oh dear, Aunt Bai, why are you so angry? We're all family, let's talk things out."

She turned to look at Bai Yuzhen, trying to find validation:

“Yuzhen, you should try to persuade them. Yunting and the others really didn’t know how to speak properly today, and they were a bit too hasty.”

"But the real reason is for Yan Ning's good. We're worried that she's too young to handle such a large sum of money and might get scammed again. Our intentions are good!"

As she spoke, she kept giving Su Yunting meaningful glances, urging him to quickly back down:

"Yunting, what are you standing there for? Quickly apologize to Aunt Bai and Yanning!"

"Our elder brother just left, and we're already making a scene here among our own family. What kind of behavior is this? Aren't we just making a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders?"

She thought her words were perfectly flawless.

This gave both sides a way out and also beautified the Su family's scheme as well-intentioned.

"Oh."

Bai Shanhe glanced at her indifferently.

His eyes seemed to see right through her every little thought.

She didn't respond at all, as if Jiang Lan were just air.

Aunt Bai Yuzhen was even more blunt, rolling her eyes at Jiang Lan directly.

She carefully protected Yan Ning and said softly:

"Ningning, let's go, the car is outside."

Jiang Lan's smile almost faltered, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

The Bai family members then surrounded Yan Ning and walked straight past her.

He didn't even glance at her.

The Bai family uncle stepped aside to walk past her, leaving behind a cold remark to the Su family:

"Whether you meant well or not, you know best in your hearts."

...

The Bai family's black sedan drove away from the Su family's residence.

Outside the car window, the bustling street scene flowed slowly by.

Yan Ning leaned on her grandmother Bai Shanhe's shoulder.

My tense nerves finally relaxed, and I felt a long-lost sense of security.

Meanwhile, at this time, the Su family mansion...

But it was like a pot had exploded.

"This is outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!"

Su Yunting was so angry that his face turned red, and he swept the teacup off the coffee table.

The sound of shattering porcelain accompanied his roar:

"What right does the Bai family have? What right do they have to interfere in the affairs of our Su family!"

"Exactly! Is there no law anymore?!"

Su Yao jumped up and down, "So much money, why did Uncle just give it all to that money-loser!"

Jiang Lan's face turned ashen; her thwarted plan left her feeling suffocated.

Seeing Yan Ningchun leave smugly, Su Muyao was both anxious and angry, and burst into tears.

Jiang Lan glared at Su Muyao, who was still sobbing, with annoyance:

"What are you crying for! Will crying bring the money back? If I had known this brat was so stubborn, I should have..."

She didn't say what it should be.

But the ruthlessness in his eyes was clear.
