Yan Shu smiled helplessly and handed her the phone.
"You should tell your grandmother yourself."
Yan Qiao stared in disbelief, only to realize that Yan Shu's phone had been stuck on a voice call the whole time.
"Mom, didn't you say Grandma doesn't have WeChat?"
Yan Shu said gently, "It was just activated. She specially had someone change her phone because she wanted to video chat with you."
Yan Qiao suddenly realized what was happening and felt a little nervous.
"Grandma, I am Yan Qiao."
"Hey, Xiao Shu, how do you turn on video with this thing?"
She had just selected the voice message. When she heard Yan Qiao come home, she wanted to turn on a video call, but after fiddling around for a long time, she couldn't figure out how to turn on the camera.
Yan Shu said helplessly, "I'll hang up the call now and call you again."
After finally getting it done, Yan Qiao saw Shi Yuehua's face clearly through the camera lens for the first time.
She was nearly seventy years old, with gray hair neatly wrapped up at the back, wearing a plain-colored jacket with a front opening, and no other jewelry except for a jade bracelet on her wrist.
This was Yan Qiao's first impression of a low-key yet sophisticated old lady.
Shi Yuehua possesses a calm temperament and a dignified grace that comes with age, far surpassing that of Yuan Mengchun.
"Qiaoqiao, it's Grandma. Can you see me?"
Yan Qiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, hello Grandma."
Shi Yuehua laughed, "Well, you and your mother look so alike when you were young."
Yan Qiao and Yan Shu sat together, and it was immediately obvious that they were mother and daughter.
"Grandma, I'll come to Tongxiang with my parents to see you later."
Shi Yuehua said, "Come, Grandma has prepared a lot of gifts for you, all waiting to be given to you. Before you were born, Grandma buried a jar of wine under the plum tree, and it hasn't been dug up yet. When you come over, our family will be reunited and we can have a good taste."
“Yes! We will definitely go! Don’t look at those things online. People these days are too aggressive and say very hurtful things. I will get justice for Grandma.”
The sight of her, so young yet still striving to spread her wings and protect her family, brought comfort to Shi Yuehua.
With just one glance, she knew that Yan Qiao and Yan Yaoyao were different.
Yan Yaoyao had stayed in Tongxiang before, and Shi Yuehua witnessed her kicking her white cat into the pond and watching it float and sink in the water, while she laughed happily.
Yan Yaoyao has a sweet tongue and is good at coaxing people. In front of others, she pretends to like cats, but in private, she enjoys the pleasure of torturing them.
To put it bluntly, Yan Yaoyao's sweet talk was just to coax her and get things from her.
Then, she jumped into the pond herself and rescued the white cat, then ran over pretending to be pitiful and innocent.
"Grandma, the white cat fell into the pond, and I rescued it."
If Shi Yuehua hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would have definitely hugged Yan Yaoyao and felt sorry for her.
From then on, she told Yan Shu, "The child is young and her character is uncertain. Let's wait until she is 20 years old before telling her the truth about the family's financial situation."
Although Yan Shu was puzzled, she still agreed.
Coming back to her senses from the past, she gently stroked Yan Qiao's pretty face on the screen.
This is her granddaughter.
“Grandma doesn’t care about those things. No matter what’s said online, Yuan Mengchun has to take responsibility for what he did, and Grandma will also seek justice for you.”
Yuan Mengchun dared to send her granddaughter to the Yan family to be mistreated, so she should be prepared to suffer retribution.
After posting Shi Yuehua's video, she should send over a picture every day.
Upward Every Day: [How about it? This is a custom-made image for our grandma.]
When Yan Qiao opened the original image, she realized that Ying Tiantian was indeed quite capable.
The old lady working for him was clearly from a respectable family and had the demeanor of a matriarch.
Yan Qiao: [Seriously, I'm not even a tenth as beautiful as my grandmother, barely passable.]
Everyday Upward: [Heh.]
The incident continued into the afternoon, and the online discussion intensified.
Some people have even started labeling Yan Qiao as "the granddaughter of a mistress".
When it comes to criticizing others from a moral high ground, netizens are never late.
It wasn't until Attorney Dai's firm posted ten messages on Weibo that the issue was resolved.
Dai Yang (V), a lawyer from Linhao Law Firm: [Evidence has been collected for all of the above. @YanQiaoBuQueQian, you'd better wash your necks and wait.]
Yan Qiao didn't waste any words with them, and forwarded Lawyer Dai's Weibo post with the caption:
Yan Qiao V: [Whoever deletes this is a dog, every single one of them, they'll all be sued! I'm calling out to Ms. Chen Lan: no matter how many online trolls you hire, no matter how much mud you throw at my grandmother, it won't cover up the dirty nature of the Yan family. As for the truth, please watch the VCR video, "The Most Beautiful Grandmother."]
Yan Qiao turned Ying Tiantian's cartoon into a video, accompanied by appropriate music.
The video begins from Shi Yuehua's perspective.
The Shi family returned from overseas in the 1950s. Shi Yuehua was not only a lady from a prominent family, but also a woman who had received a modern education. Chinese and Western ideas collided in her, yet were also cleverly integrated.
She is not a sheltered young lady who never leaves her home. She can work on the front lines of production and speak out for the vulnerable who have been wronged.
At the age of 24, she met, got to know, and fell in love with Yan Jiahao, and eventually got married.
However, after giving birth to Yan Shu, she learned that he was already married.
She resolutely chose to leave the marriage with her child, making room for Yuan Mengchun.
With the groundwork laid earlier, everyone knows that Yan Jiahao's rise to wealth was entirely due to the Shi family's economic foundation and Shi Yuehua's strong support.
Let alone two-thirds, even if she took all the property, it would be perfectly reasonable.
After several years of entanglement, Shi Yuehua and Yan Jiahao peacefully dissolved their marriage and she withdrew from his life.
Yan Shu, after growing up, fell in love with and married Song Yinsheng, and returned to Yancheng.
Yan Shu and Chen Lan unexpectedly gave birth in the same hospital, but Yuan Mengchun harbored thoughts of revenge and switched the two children.
The comic vividly portrays Chen Lan's harshness and preference for sons over daughters, as well as Yan Yaohui's numerous mistresses and illegitimate children.
If it weren't for this comic, no one would have guessed how filthy the Yan family's interior was.
Chen Lan's cold treatment and Yan Yaohui's indifference made it difficult for Yan Qiao to move forward in the Yan family.
Especially when everyone saw Yuan Mengchun instructing the caregiver to lock Yan Qiao in the basement, successfully causing her to miss the college entrance examination—
Netizens are furious!
No wonder Yan Qiao missed the college entrance exam! I was in the same year as her. The teacher said she had an accident, but I never imagined that the old woman was behind it!
[How awful! The suffering was clearly caused by the times and war, yet she insists on blaming Grandma Yan Qiao!]
Speaking of which, wasn't Yan Qiao's maternal grandmother the most tragic? She was deceived by a man, a mistress, and only found out the truth after giving birth to her child. In the end, she left in a sorry state. She was such a proud person...
[Isn't Yan Qiao tragic? Isn't Yan Qiao's mother tragic? One almost had her life ruined, the other was forced to separate from her own daughter for nineteen years! Yuan Mengchun truly committed a heinous crime!]
[You've overlooked one thing! Those marketing accounts that previously reposted and slandered Yan Qiao's grandmother as a mistress were instructed by Chen Lan! What a filthy family the Yan family is!]
Even Yan Yaoyao, who had little to do with the matter, was dragged into the criticism.
Needless to say, the official account of the Yan family company was so badly criticized that it had to disable comments and private messages.
