As soon as Li Churan's Cullinan stopped at the carved gate of the Li family's old mansion, the servants waiting at the gate eagerly opened it.
"Young Master! You're back! Madam is throwing a tantrum!"
Lin Mengru, who was in the car, couldn't help but flinch, having a bad feeling.
Seeing this, Li Churan quickly grasped Lin Mengru's hand tightly, "Mengru, don't be nervous, it's okay! You don't need to worry about anything, I'll take care of everything!"
Lin Mengru nodded obediently.
Li Churan, holding Lin Mengru's hand, walked to the study under the guidance of the maid.
"Kneel down!" A cold shout came as soon as I entered the study.
Knowing her mother's temper well, Li Churan immediately knelt down, and Lin Mengru, who was standing next to her, followed suit and knelt on the ground.
Seeing his son obediently kneel down, Shangguan Rong's expression softened slightly.
"Chu Ran, you really are my good son! You actually dared to propose to me without my consent. Look at this photo, look at it yourself!" Shangguan Rong placed his phone in front of Li Chu Ran.
What's most infuriating is that even that little bitch Ye Ning knows about it. It turns out they only kept it from her, who is Chu Ran's biological mother!
"When was this photo taken? How did it end up with Mom?" Li Churan didn't have time to think about it and quickly explained.
"Mom! I'm not hiding it from you, I'm just looking for an opportunity to tell you."
Lin Mengru took the opportunity to steal a glance. Weren't these the photos she had sent to Ye Ning? How did they end up here with Shangguan Rong?
Could it have been sent to her by Ye Ning? But aren't the two of them at odds?
It was intentional, Ye Ning definitely did it on purpose.
"Auntie, let me explain. This is definitely Ye Ning's attempt to sow discord. Please don't..."
Lin Mengru immediately tried to shift the blame.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!" Shangguan Rong gave her a cold glance.
Shangguan Rong took a deep breath, turned to Li Churan, and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Chu Ran, let me tell you straight today, Lin Mengru has no chance of getting into the Li family!"
"Mom! Mengru and I are truly in love!" Li Churan quickly defended herself.
"Chu Ran, do you know that this Lin Mengru is no good at all? She's been having affairs with many men, and she even has an illegitimate child. This kind of woman doesn't deserve to enter the Li family." Shangguan Rong said with a pained expression. Lin Mengru was clearly a vixen.
"Auntie! You've misunderstood me! I'm not that kind of person. I'm with Chu Ran because I truly love him!" Lin Mengru quickly explained.
"Pah! Don't think I don't know! You're only after money! Get out of here!"
"Mom! I forbid you from saying such things about Mengru. She's not like that!"
"Son, you've been bewitched by this vixen! I'm telling you right now, if you want to marry her, you'll only have a chance if I die!"
"Mom, don't force me!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Lin Mengru threw herself to the ground, crying her heart out.
"Chu Ran, it's all my fault. I caused you and your son to quarrel! Otherwise, let's just call it quits! I'll just stay by your side and protect you silently!"
"No! Mengru! This isn't your fault!" Li Churan hugged Lin Mengru tightly, feeling sorry for her.
"Chu Ran!"
"Mengru!"
As a woman herself, how could Shangguan Rong not see through Lin Mengru's tricks? This was clearly a strategy of feigning retreat to advance, aimed at winning Chu Ran's pity and making her think that she was understanding. Unfortunately, her foolish son fell for it.
"Chu Ran, don't believe her! She's faking it! She's clearly a vixen!" Shangguan Rong said angrily.
"Mom! It's me who's going to marry Mengru. None of this has anything to do with Mengru. I won't allow you to talk about Mengru like that!"
Seeing that Li Churan was still protecting Lin Mengru, Shangguan Rong was furious. She didn't care about putting on airs as a noblewoman anymore and rushed forward to grab Lin Mengru's hair.
"You little vixen! I'm going to tear your skin off!"
Although Shangguan Rong was old, he had a large frame and was well-maintained. Lin Mengru was caught off guard and a strand of her hair was pulled out.
Lin Mengru struggled and screamed.
"Mom! Don't do this!" Li Churan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but was accidentally injured and received two slaps to the face.
"Chu Ran, are you alright!" Shangguan Rong felt heartbroken looking at the slap mark on Li Chu Ran's face, but she then turned her attention to Lin Mengru.
"It's all your fault, you bitch! I'll never forgive you!"
...
The Li family was in complete chaos.
…
At the Ye family home, Ye Ning was quietly eating her meal, with Da Huang and Er Huang lying at her feet, creating a warm atmosphere.
The private investigator just called her and said that Li Churan and Lin Mengru drove back to the Li family's old house halfway through their meal, and two hours later the two of them left the Li family's old house in a disheveled state.
Although Ye Ning hadn't seen the photos in the room with her own eyes, she knew that Shangguan Rong would definitely be furious.
How could she not be anxious when her beloved son was going to marry a female anchor with a child in tow?
Wasn't Lin Mengru trying to show off?
Ye Ning can't care if Lin Mengru flaunts herself in front of others, but if anyone dares to come right in front of her, she won't hold back.
Neither of the women was easy to deal with. Ye Ning was a little curious about who was more powerful, the vixen or the tigress. She figured Li Churan would be in for a lot of trouble in the future.
