Liu Anran saw Chu Feng push Chu Zhe down while the children were playing. She hurriedly ran over, helped Chu Zhe up, and gently brushed the dust off his body.
"Zhe'er, did you hurt yourself?" Liu Anran asked.
Chu Zhe touched his bottom; it hurt a little, but it was negligible. He shook his head. "Mommy, it doesn't hurt!"
Liu Anran looked at Chu Feng, who nervously fidgeted with her fingers and said uneasily, "I didn't mean to."
“Mom knows you didn’t mean it, but it’s a fact that you pushed your brother down. You should apologize to him,” Liu Anran said.
"Little brother, I'm sorry!" Chu Feng said.
"Sister, I'm not in pain, I'm fine," Chu Zhe said with a smile.
Liu Anran smiled, patted Chu Zhe and Chu Feng on the head, and said with a smile, "Go play!"
When Chu Yunxiao returned home, he saw his grandmother and Qin Yuhan sitting in the guest room drinking tea. He walked over and sat down next to them, saying, "Grandma, Mom Anran is back."
Grandma Chu and Qin Yuhan both looked at Chu Yunxiao with surprise on their faces.
"You mean An Ran brought the children back? Where are they? Why didn't you take them home?" Qin Yuhan asked hurriedly.
“She doesn’t want to come back,” Chu Yunxiao said.
Qin Yuhan asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Liu Anran is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and Yunlong and the triplets are the grandsons of the Chu family. Why doesn't Liu Anran take the four children back to the Chu family?
“She said the Chu family’s threshold was too high, and she, an orphan, couldn’t afford to be a part of it, so she wouldn’t enter the Chu family’s door. She asked her uncle to find her a house.”
Chu Yunxiao felt very uncomfortable thinking about what Liu Anran had said. He knew it was wrong of him not to visit Liu Anran and the four children for so long, and he shouldn't have complained to Qin Ruixu. However, Liu Anran's cold attitude towards him made him feel sad and embarrassed.
Qin Yuhan's face showed displeasure. "Letting Liu Anran into the Chu family is already an act of kindness on our part. What else could Liu Anran possibly be dissatisfied with?"
Grandma Chu looked at Qin Yuhan as if letting Liu Anran into the Chu family was already a great favor, and asked, "Liu Anran has a spatial ability, superpowers, and is beautiful. More importantly, she can have children. If she wants to get married, someone will be willing to marry her anytime. Where do you get the confidence to say such things?"
Grandma Chu is quite old and has a clear understanding of things, unlike Qin Yuhan who is arrogant because she relies on Qin Ruixu and Chu Yunxiao.
"Mom, there are plenty of beautiful women with superpowers. Without the Chu and Qin families, who would know who Liu Anran is?" Qin Yuhan said dismissively.
"Do you think Xiao Xu only helped Liu Anran because of you?" Grandma Chu asked.
Qin Yuhan said, "Isn't that right?"
"Perhaps part of it!" Grandma Chu said.
Qin Yuhan looked at Grandma Chu with a slightly darkened expression, "What did Mom mean by that?"
Grandma Chu took a leisurely sip of tea, put the teacup down, and then looked at Qin Yuhan. "Ask Yunxiao. He knows what I mean."
Qin Yuhan looked at Chu Yunxiao and asked coldly, "What did your grandmother mean by that?"
Chu Yunxiao slowly said, "An Ran's wood-type ability was at the fourth level half a year ago, and she almost broke through to the fifth level. Every time I went to see her and the child, she would ask me to bring back a lot of vegetables, and sometimes she would ask me to bring back some grain. I was able to discover that Zhan was developing so well, and she deserves some credit for that."
“An Ran’s wood-type ability may have already broken through to the fifth level. She’s highly sought after everywhere. Her uncle will treat her well because she has a fifth-level wood-type ability.”
“She can live a good life even without the Chu family and without me.”
Qin Yuhan's face turned pale, and her heart felt as if it were being crushed by a stone.
“I don’t care about her abilities, the child belongs to the Chu family and must return to the Chu family.”
“Mom, you don’t understand An Ran. If you push her too far, she’ll take the child and run away so we’ll never see the child again. If you treat her better, she might let you see the child and even let the child come home for a couple of days,” Chu Yunxiao sighed.
"You want me to curry favor with Liu Anran?" Qin Yuhan exclaimed.
His voice was laced with anger.
Chu Yunxiao looked at Qin Yuhan, who was in agitation, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Mom, I'm not telling you to fawn over An Ran, I'm telling you to be nicer to her and not give her a hard time."
“An Ran is currently staying at her uncle’s house with the children. You and Grandma can visit the four children anytime.”
Qin Yuhan's face darkened even more when she heard that Liu Anran was staying at Qin Ruixu's house.
"How could Liu Anran move into Xiao Xu's house? A man and a woman living together alone, aren't they afraid of being gossiped about?"
Grandma Chu's face hardened, and she said sternly, "Watch your tone. At the current Beijing base, Xiao Xu is in charge. Who dares to say anything bad about him? He took An Ran in for life, and no one dared to utter a single word of dissent."
"You can't, and neither can Yunxiao." Grandma Chu said, her eyes filled with warning as she looked at Qin Yuhan. "You and Xiaoxu are only half-siblings. You'd better not go to the Qin family and cause trouble, upset him, or create a rift between Yunxiao and Xiaoxu. I will hold you responsible."
“Mom, I believe in Uncle’s character, and An Ran is a decent woman. Nothing will happen between them,” Chu Yunxiao said.
"Who knows if they'll have a relationship? You and An Ran had a child even though you weren't married," Qin Yuhan said.
Seeing that Qin Yuhan's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Chu Yunxiao frowned and said, "Mom, you'd better not say these things anymore. I'm worried that if An Ran hears what you say, she won't let you see the child again."
When Qin Yuhan heard Liu Anran prevent her from seeing the children, she angrily said, "How dare she!"
Grandma Chu looked at Qin Yuhan calmly, "She is a mother of four children, raising them all by herself. She really dares to prevent you from seeing your four children."
"Don't treat her like an orphan with no one to rely on, and think you can manipulate her at will."
"She's raising four children all by herself and still managing to improve her abilities. How could you possibly handle her? If you make her unhappy, she might make you regret it."
