Aunt Wang felt guilty and started pounding her drum.
What is this kid up to?
Surely they're not trying to bully an elderly person!
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he took a step in this direction, which startled Aunt Wang so much that she retreated repeatedly.
The tension in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Let me tell you, this is a society governed by the rule of law, so don't do anything reckless!"
Xiao Ran ignored her and continued walking. The two elderly people were carrying so many things, which were currently placed at the entrance of the building.
He needs to get it onto the car.
When she saw him leave, Aunt Wang's heart was in her throat.
As I walked up to her, I felt my heart stop!
Xiao Ran didn't even look at her. He walked straight to the door, picked up the things, and returned to his car.
Then she turned to look at Aunt Wang and said, "This is a society governed by law. Don't spread rumors. If I hear you say that Yan Li cheated on her husband or that you're spreading rumors, she will definitely sue you!"
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he opened the trunk and slowly put the things inside.
Then he looked at Yan's father beside him, "Dad, let's get in the car!"
After saying that, he put one hand under his knees and the other hand tightly around his shoulder, then picked him up and carefully placed him in the car.
After settling Yan's father in, he led Yan's mother to the other side of the car, then thoughtfully opened the car door and let Yan's mother get in.
He then closed the car door and returned to the driver's seat.
He started the car and headed towards his home.
As soon as they left, the group started chattering amongst themselves.
"I've always heard that the Yan family's son-in-law is quite good, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"And judging from the way he looks, he's genuinely good to Lao Yan and Yan's mother!"
"Look at other people's families, their ex-son-in-law treats their father-in-law better than their own current son-in-law!"
"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!"
Everyone was praising Xiao Ran, one after another.
Aunt Wang was still thinking about what Xiao Ran had just said, and she stood there sulking.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but advise from the side, "I'm not trying to be mean, but you shouldn't worry so much about your child's work. Just because she's your daughter doesn't mean other people's daughters aren't daughters too. What you're saying is really harsh."
"That's right. Besides, the company belongs to their daughter. Why are you taking your anger out on those two old folks?"
She just wanted to vent her emotions, but who knew that the Yan family would suddenly send people over.
He's actually the former son-in-law of the Yan family!
"By the way, I heard that their son-in-law is quite something. Apparently, he's also the author. Recently, all his books have been adapted into TV series, starring Yang Mi. My daughter loves them to bits!"
"Really? That's amazing!"
"What do you know? I've known about this company for a long time. It was all set up for her with money from the man."
As the saying goes, too many people, too many opinions.
As we spoke back and forth, the amount of information we shared grew increasingly larger.
"Really? Now that you mention it, the former son-in-law of the Yan family is quite a remarkable person. How could someone so outstanding still get divorced? I wonder what Yan Li was thinking."
"Who knows? I just know that if he were my son-in-law, I would never let him leave. Even if I divorced my wife, I would still marry my daughter to him. You know, there are plenty of men as outstanding as him these days."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Li, who was standing nearby, became interested.
“This young man seems really good to me. If he gets divorced, could he date my daughter? My daughter is already 28 and still not married. It would be a really good thing if they could be a couple.”
Aunt Zhang smiled.
"Why don't you go ask tonight? Maybe it really is a good thing."
"No, no, Old Yan is back tonight. I have to go to his house and ask him properly. As the saying goes, 'Don't let good things go to outsiders.' Such a good young man, if they don't want him, we should!"
Grandpa Li became more and more excited as he spoke. If he could really find such an excellent son-in-law for his daughter, then all the excitement he had witnessed today would have been worthwhile.
The group continued chatting, one sentence after another.
Xiao Ran's car was already on the overpass.
Sitting in the back, Yan's father recalled the scene from earlier and grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran came and helped Yan Li by acting as a witness; otherwise, who knows what the neighbors would say about her in the future!
Yan's mother was also in a bad mood.
However, I still sincerely thank Xiao Ran right now.
If he hadn't spoken up for Yan Li just now, Yan Li's reputation would have been ruined.
She looked towards Xiao Ran, who was driving ahead.
"Um, Xiao Ran, thank you so much for earlier."
"Mom, you're being too polite. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong, I was just telling the truth."
Xiao Ran genuinely didn't think he had done anything good.
It was nothing more than telling the truth.
"Sigh, that's just how people are these days. What era are we living in? They still bring up divorces as a topic of conversation." Yan's father also looked helpless.
He checked online a while ago and found that the divorce rate is now as high as 40%.
That means out of 100 couples, 40 have already divorced.
It's been so many years since the reform and opening up, yet these people's thinking is still so backward.
"Don't take what those people said to heart. They're just bored!" Yan's father reassured Xiao Ran, afraid that he might overthink things.
