Chapter 155 Allies Become Enemies
The person who came was Qin Lan. Her family had already been dissatisfied with the lawsuit between her and Lele's family. They didn't expect that another one would come up now. Her family was very angry about this and asked her to find a way to solve it herself.
Qin Lan hadn't anticipated that, having listened to Nie Ting's words, not only would Baby Paradise fail to cover her losses, but she would instead face a lawsuit. She briefly regretted listening to Nie Ting, but it was too late to regret now. She thought about it and decided to take a gamble. She believed Jiang Lili was a businesswoman, and businesspeople valued harmony and prosperity. She figured that if she spoke to her kindly, she would definitely withdraw the lawsuit.
"Let her go." Lu Hongzhe, who was waiting for her not far away, hurried over and scolded coldly.
"Boss Jiang, I really didn't mean it. Lele and the others asked for too much, so someone gave me an idea and said that if I contacted the newspaper, the matter could be solved by putting an ad in the newspaper. I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time." Qin Lan did not let go of her wrist, but held it tighter.
"Let me go first." Jiang Lili's face was calm.
"I won't let go unless you agree." Qin Lan started to act like a rogue.
"Okay, Sister Hong, let's call the police." Jiang Lili said to Wang Hong who was trying to pull Qin Lan away.
"I'll go right away." Wang Hong agreed quickly.
"No, I'll let go right now." Qin Lan quickly let go of Jiang Lili's hand and took a step back to block Wang Hong's way.
"You said someone asked you to go to the newspaper, so someone also asked you to do the interview with the newspaper? We all know the situation at that time very well. You deliberately made up some lies in order to shirk responsibility. Adults should always be responsible for their own actions." Jiang Lili was not interested in the people who gave her advice. They were just colleagues who wanted to make a big fuss about this matter.
Qin Lan's panic flashed across her eyes, and she quickly added, "I didn't expect them to write it like that. Anyway, you clarified it quickly, and this incident has no impact on you. Please withdraw the lawsuit."
"How come there is no impact? Someone came to the store to cause trouble today and demanded a refund for his card. Although he was sent away today, he might come again tomorrow." Jiang Lili glanced at her after she finished speaking.
Qin Lanlan quickly guessed who the troublemakers were. As if she saw hope, she asked directly, "So, if I can convince them to stop causing trouble, will you withdraw the lawsuit?"
"It depends on the situation." Jiang Lili said vaguely, not giving her a definite answer. However, Qin Lan seemed to see hope and nodded directly: "I will definitely convince them. You wait for my news."
After Qin Lan ran away, the clerk and Wang Hong couldn't help but ask, "Lili, do you really want to withdraw the lawsuit?"
"Of course not. If this precedent is set, then anyone will be able to step on it in the future. It's late, you should go back first." She just said that deliberately, just to divert the conflict and let them fight each other. As for withdrawing the lawsuit, that was impossible.
After the two of them left, Jiang Lili walked towards Lu Hongzhe next to her: "I thought you left first."
"You don't have to worry about the people from the security company coming tomorrow. As for that person just now, just ignore him in the future. He is just a coward." Lu Hongzhe agreed with her way of handling the matter. If she really withdrew the lawsuit, all the hard work of the past few days would be in vain.
"Well, when they arrive, I guess those people won't dare to cause trouble again. But I have to mention this matter to Sister Cheng. Uncle Cheng might have a good solution." Jiang Lili has never been a person who repays evil with kindness.
"Let's go back first." Lu Hongzhe glanced around while speaking, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, the two continued forward.
"Should I find myself a bodyguard?" Jiang Lili said self-deprecatingly.
"It is indeed necessary." Lu Hongzhe said seriously.
"Ah?" Jiang Lili asked in a puzzled tone. Couldn't he hear that she was just joking and making fun of herself?
"It's okay in school, but I think it's still necessary outside. Why don't you follow Sister Cheng's example and hire a driver and bodyguard?" Lu Hongzhe discussed with her.
"Not for now." Jiang Lili shook her head and refused.
"Okay, let's wait until this matter is over first." Lu Hongzhe nodded, but his mind was thinking about whether there was a suitable candidate.
Soon they arrived at Lu Hongzhe's floor. Jiang Lili waved to her and said, "Then I'll go up first."
"Is it convenient for you to go to school tomorrow? I'll take you there tomorrow." Lu Hongzhe said.
"No need, my mom can just drop me off tomorrow." Jiang Lili shook her head and refused. She was still thinking about the matter of "complaining" to Cheng Yuntian.
"Okay, remember to call me if you have anything."
When she returned, Zhou Qingfen was the only one still home. The other three were sitting by the phone, talking to the person on the other end. She approached and asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone? Why are you calling with the whole family?"
"Where's your uncle? He'll be here by the end of the month." Jiang Yulan realized she should be at school today after she said that. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come back so suddenly? Did something happen?"
"It's okay. Regarding the follow-up of the newspaper incident, has my uncle resigned?" Jiang Lili glanced at Jiang Jianyi who was answering the phone while speaking. The old man didn't have any extra energy to give her at this time.
"Yes, it's better for him to come over. Otherwise, it's not good for the family to be separated like this." Jiang Yulan pulled her to sit at the other end of the sofa.
"Isn't it a good thing that your uncle is coming over? Why do you look a little unhappy?" Jiang Lili asked.
"Of course I'm happy that he's coming, but when he gets here, it will be the day they move." By then, Jiang Jianyi will also have to move with them and pick up Tongtong from school.
"They will definitely feel more comfortable living in their own home, so I should come back and stay here every day?" Thinking that they all moved away and Jiang Yulan was the only one left at home, it was normal for her to feel lonely.
"No, that's too much trouble. I'll go live in the factory and come back on weekends." Jiang Yulan shook her head to stop her from thinking that.
"I'm fine with that. I'll go back to my room and call Sister Cheng first."
"Well, go and do your work first, and let your grandpa and uncle continue nagging. Your grandpa won't feel bad about the expensive long-distance calls anymore." Jiang Yulan lowered her voice when she said the last sentence, her tone full of ridicule. On weekdays, Jiang Jianyi always kept time when he called. Sometimes, when he saw that he was about to exceed the time, he would hang up before he finished speaking. When asked the reason, he said with a very confident look on his face that long-distance calls were expensive, so he would save as much as possible.
Jiang Lili was amused by her words, and her tone was full of smiles: "Grandpa is playing the long game. When uncle comes, we basically won't have to make long-distance calls." After saying that, the mother and daughter smiled at each other, and she quickly went back to the room and dialed Cheng Yuntian's number.
Although he had known for a long time that this was probably done by a colleague, he did not expect there would be such follow-ups. Cheng Yuntian also became angry: "It's all our fault that we were busy with the clarification in the newspaper and forgot about this matter. Leave it to me. You can continue to sue that person and ignore her." There was a hint of self-blame in Cheng Yuntian's tone.
"Of course, I won't withdraw the lawsuit." The reason why things have come to this point is that she was too soft-hearted towards Qin Lan before.
"From now on, just go to school and I'll take care of the rest."
"Then I'll trouble you with the next thing." Since Cheng Yuntian was willing to take over, Jiang Lili was naturally happy to have some free time. After hanging up the phone, she went to the living room to discuss Jiang Aiguo's visit to Beijing with her family.

After leaving Baby Paradise, Qin Lan went straight to find Nie Ting. Nie Ting was in a good mood. She thought that although she didn't do anything today, the money was worth it. She didn't know what Sister Bai was going to do next. She felt that Sister Bai had made a mistake this time. That little girl was not easy to fool.
The random knocks on the door displeased Nie Ting. She cursed and went to open the door. Seeing Qin Lan outside, she was a little displeased: "Why are you here? Didn't I say I would solve this problem for you?"
"No need to solve it. You are not allowed to cause trouble for the store." Qin Lan's shrill voice made Nie Ting uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about what we do." Nie Ting was a little impatient.
"Do you think I really want to intervene? That girl sued me, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, why would she sue me? It was you who asked the people from the newspaper to come here. You must solve this problem for me." Qin Lan thought of the blame from her family, and her tone became more determined.
"You talked about those things with the people in the newspaper yourself. You avoided the important issues and concealed the facts. What does it have to do with me?" Nie Ting refused to admit that this matter had anything to do with her.
"How can it be okay? It was you who told me that I don't have to pay compensation." Seeing her rogue look, Qin Lan reached out and grabbed her hair. Nie Ting fought back unwillingly, and the two started fighting at the door. The neighbors heard the noise and came out to persuade them to stop. When they separated, Qin Lan's face was covered with blood marks from Nie Ting's scratches, and a large handful of Nie Ting's hair was pulled out by her.
Qin Lan was stopped by a kind neighbor. She put her learning into practice: "Nie Ting, if you can't solve it, I will sue you. This matter will not be let go just like that."
The former allies quickly became enemies. The next day, Qin Lan went to see Jiang Lili, her face scratched. Before she even entered the shop, she saw two burly men standing at the door. Her heart began to race. She tried to go in and talk to Wang Hong, but was politely escorted out. A second time, she was outright denied entry. She knew they wouldn't drop the lawsuit, so she directed all her anger at Nie Ting.
At first, she thought Nie Ting was kind-hearted, until Nie Ting introduced her to another amusement park, Youyou Park, and asked her to introduce others to it. Then she understood why she contacted the newspaper for her, so she did not go to Nie Ting this time, but went directly to Youyou Park.
Over at Youyou Paradise, Nie Ting was telling Sister Bai about Qin Lan's troublemaking last night. After saying this, she tentatively asked, "Sister Bai, why don't we just let this go? I think that girl is a real tough nut to crack. If we continue like this, we're not going to get any good out of this."
Sister Bai didn't say anything. She was indeed a little unwilling to give up like this. After all, they had laid the groundwork for so long. But if they continued, she didn't know how Baby Paradise would respond.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Nie Ting touched her still aching scalp and thought, no matter whether she wanted to continue or not, she didn't plan to go again anyway. As for the card she asked her to apply for before, why not find a chance to withdraw the money?
Qin Lan saw Nie Ting standing inside through the glass door. She couldn't help but sneer. She knew they were in cahoots. She glanced at the loudspeaker on the stall next to her, bought some things, and then took the loudspeaker from him: "Lend me this, I'll return it to you right away."
Before the vendor could say anything, he saw her walking towards the store in front with a loudspeaker.
