Xu Wan knew, of course, that Xiao Yinlan wouldn't be so kind, but she didn't want to cause any trouble here and just wanted Xiao Yinlan to leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Tingzhou, however, showed no mercy: "Madam An, I just learned that the An family forcibly drew blood from my wife when she was only three or four years old in order to treat An Yunya's illness. This is illegal, and we reserve the right to sue you at any time."
"Really? But I did give compensation." Xiao Yinlan looked at Xu Pingrong. "You remember?"
"Madam An gave me some jewelry, all of which are very beautiful and valuable."
Xu Pingrong is honest and speaks his mind.
Xiao Yinlan frowned. "Really? It's been too long, I don't remember."
Xu Wan remained silent, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yinlan, a feeling that there was something more to her words.
But I can't guess what it is.
Xiao Yinlan glanced at the people in the private room, smiled and said to Xu Pingrong, "No matter what, I'm relieved to see that you're doing well. I also thank you for taking care of my family before. I'll be going now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou exchanged a glance, and she asked, "Why do I feel like Xiao Yinlan is behaving strangely?"
Jiang Tingzhou said, "The An family has recently encountered a major incident, and it's hard to say what they might do."
Xu Wan didn't understand business matters and didn't press the matter further.
After dinner, Jiang Tingzhou took the mother and daughter to the riverbank, where they strolled for half an hour to digest their food.
When I got home, it was already nightfall and the city lights were on. The view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was beautiful.
Xu Wan sat with Xu Pingrong on the sofa, watching the night view. Tears welled up in Xu Pingrong's eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "It really feels like a dream."
Xu Wan rested her head on her mother's shoulder. "Mom, it's not a dream. You've already come out of that cold iron cage and will never go back in. You protected me back then, and now that I'm grown up, I'll do everything in my power to make sure no one bullies you again."
-
Saturday afternoon.
Xu Wan accompanied Xu Pingrong to her aunt's house for dinner.
Looking at his mother and sister, Xu Pingrong asked, "Where's Jiashan? I haven't seen him. How is he?"
Liu Yingjun didn't hide anything from her and said directly, "I only have you two children now. Xu Jiashan's actions have made him unworthy of being our family. Don't ask about his affairs anymore!"
"What happened to him?" Xu Pingrong asked.
“He’s in jail.” Xu Wan, sitting next to her mother, didn’t hide it from her. “He did things to hurt me for money. The reason he was so reckless was because he thought I wouldn’t dare to sue him. With my grandmother’s support, I sued him in court. The case went to trial not long ago. The first trial sentenced him to six and a half years. Now he has applied for an appeal, and it is still under investigation. The second trial has not yet started.”
Xu Pingrong also understands his younger brother.
His father spoiled him a lot back then, which made him develop a lawless personality.
Xu Pingshan also heard about the absurd things Xu Jiashan had done from her mother, and said, "Sister, from now on we'll live as a family. Xu Jiashan is courting death, so let's not worry about him."
"Alright, then let's not talk about him!"
Xu Pingrong is very satisfied with his current life.
Xu Pingshan bluntly suggested, "Sister, I'm also going through a divorce. After Ma Jun and I get divorced, why don't we move in together? Wanwan and her husband are newlyweds, and it's not convenient for you to live there. If we live together, we can look after each other. Wouldn't that be great?"
Liu Yingjun clapped her hands: "Good, good, that's for the best!"
The atmosphere at the family meal was harmonious and joyful.
Xu Wan received a message on her phone from an unknown number.
【Ms. Xu, hello, this is Xiao Yinlan. I have something to discuss with you regarding your mother, a very important issue. If you don't come, my family will proceed with legal action. If you wish to come alone, the meeting place is as follows.】
Xu Wan glanced at the address,
It's a fairly well-known coffee shop in the northern part of the city.
