Suddenly, Gu Chenye spoke gently: "Rou Rou, give me your phone."
Yan Yirou subconsciously handed over her phone.
Gu Chenye answered the phone and said, "Auntie, this is Gu Chenye. The Ji family will not give up trying to persuade you, and Uncle also needs your care. It would be bad if the Ji family took advantage of Uncle's leg injury while you were away. I only suffered a minor injury, and Rou Rou is taking care of me, so you don't need to worry."
"It's Chenye! Thank you for saving Rou Rou." Madam Yan's voice was full of gratitude.
Gu Chenye replied sincerely, "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. Rou Rou is my girlfriend, and it's my responsibility to protect her."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yirou felt a warm current flowing through her heart, gradually spreading throughout her body.
Madam Yan on the other end of the phone knew he wasn't lying and genuinely believed it, so she instructed him, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. If you need anything, just tell Rou Rou. She may not be good at other things, but she's quite capable at taking care of people."
Gu Chenye stared at Yan Yirou: "Rou Rou does a great job in every aspect."
His voice was gentler than the spring breeze blowing through a field of flowers.
Yan Yirou's eyes widened instantly.
Hearing him say this, Madam Yan was completely relieved.
After all, she knew her own daughter well.
After the call ended, Gu Chenye returned the phone to Yan Yirou.
Yan Yirou asked in confusion, "What did you mean when you said I did a great job in every aspect? What did my mom say to you?"
Gu Chenye smiled and said, "The literal meaning."
"Tch~~" Yan Yirou rolled her eyes at the man who was pretending to be mysterious.
But does he really think she's perfect in every way?
He has good taste.
For a moment, Yan Yirou felt that the air had become sweet, like the same scent.
???
Around 2 PM.
Ji Mingsheng and Shen Xinrong arrived at the Yan family's old residence with generous gifts and bodyguards.
Only Madam Yan lived in the old house.
Because her eldest daughter-in-law had already informed her, Madam Yan used the excuse of feeling unwell to close her doors to guests and had the steward take the eldest branch of the Ji family to her youngest son's house.
It just so happens that neither Master Yan nor Madam Yan went out today.
When she saw her future in-laws arrive with generous gifts, she was overjoyed. Madam Yan even instructed the servants to call her daughter downstairs to entertain her future in-laws.
"Haha, my dear in-law, your arrival from afar truly brings honor to my humble abode."
Master Yan laughed heartily and praised him.
Normally, Ji Mingsheng would be happy to exchange a few pleasantries with the other party, but now that his son might go to jail, he finds anyone's smiling face extremely irritating.
Shen Xinrong spoke first: "Father-in-law, since the matter is quite urgent, let's get straight to the point. I hope the Yan family can go to the police station immediately to withdraw the report. After all, if my son goes to jail, we will have to regretfully cancel the wedding on May Day."
"..."
Both Master Yan and Madam Yan were taken aback.
Why didn't they understand what I said?
What does his son's imprisonment have to do with the Yan family?
"Is your mother-in-law saying that our Yan family called the police and had Xianli arrested?"
Before the other party could answer, Madam Yan Er shook her head and denied it: "That's impossible. The whole capital knows that my Xuanxuan and Xianli's wedding is scheduled for May 1st. Xianli is like half a son to me. Our family is too busy protecting him to harm him."
Shen Xinrong carefully observed her expression. Although she knew the woman was genuinely unaware, her tone remained somewhat cold and sharp: "Do I look like someone who would joke about their own son?"
Madam Yan choked for a moment.
Considering the other person's identity, she could only swallow her anger.
Master Yan's eyes flickered, and he asked politely, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Mother-in-law, could you tell me what exactly happened?"
Shen Xinrong turned to look at Ji Mingsheng: "You tell me!"
Ji Mingsheng coughed twice: "Ahem, this is indeed a misunderstanding. My Xianli came to the capital to see your daughter, but he was suddenly arrested by Gu Qingyu's daughter-in-law. He didn't even know what happened, and he became a suspect in kidnapping his father-in-law's niece and was detained by the police."
We're here to ask our father-in-law to help explain this misunderstanding and to withdraw the police report as soon as possible. Xianli is spoiled by his mother, and I'm worried that the longer he stays at the police station, the more irreparable the consequences will be.
Master Yan the Second: "..."
Why did he kidnap his niece?
Madam Yan the Second: "..."
If the wedding cannot be held during the May Day holiday, her daughter and her family will become the laughing stock of the whole city!
Yan Yixuan had just come downstairs when she heard her future father-in-law's words. She swayed unsteadily, and if the maid hadn't been supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Is Brother Xianli going to jail?
No!
As soon as Yan Yixuan regained her balance, she ran to Madam Yan in the living room and said urgently, "Mom, Xianli can't go to jail. My baby can't be without a father. Let's go to Auntie's house to plead for him, okay? My sister's disappearance has nothing to do with Xianli. It was that bitch Shangguan Wu who made a mistake!"
Upon hearing the word "bitch," Madam Yan's eyelids twitched. She tightened her grip on Xuanxuan's hand and reminded her, "Xuanxuan, calm down. First, let's greet Xianli's parents."
Yan Yixuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ji Mingsheng and Shen Xinrong, and greeted them politely: "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt."
A glint of light flashed quickly in Shen Xinrong's eyes.
But her son was the most important thing right now. She suddenly stood up, took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Yan Yixuan's wrist.
"Xuanxuan, I came in a hurry today and didn't bring you a gift. This is the one I always wear on my wrist, so I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Yan Yixuan lowered her eyes and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. Even if Xianli still had feelings for Yan Yirou, her mother-in-law liked her, and Yan Yirou still couldn't compare to her!
Shen Xinrong stroked her hand and said, "You and Xianli will be getting married soon. We're family, so there's no need to thank me."
Yan Yixuan was deeply moved.
Seeing how much Shen Xinrong doted on her daughter, Madam Yan was very happy: "Then let's go to the main house. I'll talk to my sister-in-law."
The group hurriedly arrived at the villa of the Yan family's eldest branch.
As soon as I stepped onto the steps, my path was blocked by bodyguards.
Madam Yan looked at them with displeasure: "What are you doing? We have guests, so hurry up and make way."
"The master and mistress are unwell and will not be receiving guests today. Please leave," said bodyguard Ada, neither servile nor arrogant.
"presumptuous!"
Master Yan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly, "Do you know where this is?"
Ada replied, "I am the young lady's bodyguard. This is the young lady's house. She ordered that no one is allowed to enter, so I cannot let anyone step into it!"
Master Yan, his face dark, pointed at him and said, "Fine, very well indeed."
He composed himself, turned to the Ji couple and said, "Please wait a moment, father-in-law and mother-in-law, while I call the security captain to come and handle this."
Shen Xinrong pinched Ji Mingsheng's arm.
