Guo Xueyun was wearing a red and black plaid shirt, a pair of light blue jeans, and a pair of old black cloth shoes, which didn't look like her style at all. She seemed to be trying too hard to be honest.
She held a broom in her hand, but the yard she had swept didn't seem very clean. Cheng Ran's brows furrowed more and more tightly. Guo Xueyun held the broom without moving, and deliberately tucked her hair back in an affected manner.
"I……"
"I was the one who made her stay."
Cheng Ran was startled by his mother's voice, and turned around to look at her disapprovingly.
"Mom? You're saying you kept her? Why? Don't you know how she treated Wanqing in the past, and how she hurt our family?"
"Ahem..." Cheng's mother cleared her throat. "What's past is past. Your father and I thought about it last night. After all, we and Xueyun's parents are old comrades-in-arms. Now that they've had an accident and left behind only their daughter, since she has already turned over a new leaf, why can't we give her a chance?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran was so angry he almost laughed. Repent and start anew? Guo Xueyun? Who would believe that?
He put one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, shaking his head, truly speechless with anger.
He took a breath, lowered his hand, rolled up his sleeves, pointed outside the courtyard, and spoke to Guo Xueyun in a completely impolite tone, devoid of any gentleness.
"Get out! Leave my house right now! Don't offend my wife's eyes!"
"Auntie, Cheng Ran wants to kick me out..."
Guo Xueyun grabbed the broom and timidly hid behind Cheng's mother.
Cheng's mother might not necessarily protect her much, but in order to keep her here, she really had to find a way to get the people in the courtyard to accept Guo Xueyun's presence.
“She can’t leave. She took my money and is now an employee of our family. I specifically asked her to stay and take care of Wanqing until the child is safely delivered.”
"Mom, you're insane!"
As her parents' behavior became increasingly absurd, Cheng Ran could no longer suppress her anger and immediately turned to leave.
"where did you go!"
Knowing her son as she did, Cheng's mother knew he wouldn't give up so easily, and fearing he might ruin things, she quickly called him.
"Call the police!"
"Don't go! Come back!"
Cheng Ran naturally wouldn't listen to her. No sooner had he left than Jiang Jianguo and Xue He came out. They had overheard something inside the house and, seeing Guo Xueyun in the yard, exchanged a glance, immediately went up behind Cheng's mother, and each of them lifted Guo Xueyun up with one hand.
"Hey... what are you doing... Auntie, save me!"
Guo Xueyun dropped the broom in her hand and was forced to walk away. Cheng's mother realized what was happening and quickly chased after her to stop her.
"Put her down...put her down! You have no right to do this!"
Cheng's mother hurriedly stepped in front of Jiang Jianguo and Xue He, opening her arms to save Guo Xueyun.
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing? Keeping such a piece of trash in the house, are you deliberately trying to make Wanqing uncomfortable? If that's the case, then you and father-in-law shouldn't stay either, just get out with this woman! Go and be your own lovers!"
"you……"
"let go!"
Jiang Jianguo and Xue He were still more advantageous than Cheng's mother alone. Guo Xueyun was like a rag that they could manipulate and throw away.
Mr. Cheng walked to Mrs. Cheng's side and clapped his hands helplessly: "I knew Guo Xueyun couldn't be kept."
"What are you saying now! Help us! The money's been spent, so the person has to stay!"
Previously, it was just to distract Jiang Wanqing and keep her at home obediently, but now it has a stronger intention to compete with Jiang Jianguo and Xue He.
"well……"
"Did you get my permission to leave people here?"
Jiang Wanqing changed her clothes and came out of the room. Her face was cold as she watched the farce in the courtyard.
She had just overheard Cheng Ran and his mother arguing, and now that she had come out and seen this scene, her brow twitched.
"Wanqing..."
Xue He glanced at her worriedly, then let go of Jiang Jianguo's hand, causing Guo Xueyun to fall to the ground. She glared angrily at Jiang Wanqing.
This woman is so lucky. She's loved by her parents and husband, and her in-laws can't do anything about her. She's truly the center of attention. Guo Xueyun's jealousy intensified. And... Jiang Wanqing should have been dead!
"Mom and Dad, don't get your hands dirty. Cheng Ran has already called the police. This woman... humph, her hands aren't clean. Since she wants to stay in the Southwest, then let's send her to work for the government!"
"Jiang Wanqing! You...you've gone too far! I found Xueyun to take care of you, and you're not only ungrateful, but you also sent her to jail. Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future. I'm doing this for your own good." Cheng's mother said guiltily.
As they were talking, Cheng Ran had already brought the police back. He explained the situation on the way, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, he pointed directly at Guo Xueyun.
"That's her. She's a refugee from the capital region. Please take her back for investigation."
"good."
Guo Xueyun hid behind the Cheng family elders: "I didn't do anything! You can't arrest me! I have evidence!"
The policeman, who was about to reach out, froze: "What evidence do you have?"
"I have... a certificate of innocence!"
Cheng's mother breathed a sigh of relief and patted her hand: "Since you have it, why don't you go and take it to the police officer to take a look?"
"I'll go right away."
Guo Xueyun dusted off her clothes and walked towards the room. As she passed Jiang Wanqing, she paused for a second, seemingly unintentionally, and gave a slight smile...
Fortunately, she had everything prepared; she had the support of the world's creator.
She came out quickly, holding a certificate stamped with an official seal. The policeman took it and glanced at it. The two looked at each other, then turned to Cheng Ran, shook their heads apologetically, and sighed.
"Comrade Cheng, I'm sorry."
"She's refusing to leave our house, and you're just going to ignore her?"
Cheng Ran originally wanted to go through the proper procedures to get Guo Xueyun out, but now a certificate has ruined that idea.
"This..." The police officer looked at Guo Xueyun, "Miss, this is indeed someone else's home. It's unreasonable for you to stay here. You should find a place to stay and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might be able to take action against you for trespassing!"
"Officer, I didn't trespass. This elderly woman hired me to be her daughter-in-law's nanny. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Guo Xueyun, arm in arm with Cheng's mother, smiled as she looked at the police.
"Mom, think it over before you speak!"
Cheng Ran clenched his fists, raising his voice to address his mother in a warning tone, however…
"Officer, there's no mistake, Xueyun is someone I hired."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard except Guo Xueyun and Cheng's father turned pale. The policeman shook his head and left the courtyard.
"Thank you, Auntie." Guo Xueyun smiled, glancing at Jiang Wanqing out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Wanqing didn't say anything, but walked into the room. She wasn't showing much of a pregnancy yet, so she could move around easily, and Cheng Ran immediately followed her.
She entered the room and began packing her things without saying a word.
