Ouyang Muqing snorted coldly and scolded, "You should be thankful that you're my son. Otherwise, with your stupid head, no one would even want you to screw a screw!"
Lan Zhenhua was so humiliated by the scolding that he didn't even want to say anything flattering!
"Mom, how can you say that to me! You've seen how hard I've worked these years!"
Ouyang Muqing's gaze lingered on Gu Siyu and Qin Haotian for a moment before she asked, "Where's Lan Yaxin? She doesn't even come down to greet me, her grandmother?"
Whenever Lan Zhenhua mentioned Lan Yaxin, his face was filled with deep fatherly love.
"Yaxin, she's out for something. I'll ask her to accompany you tomorrow."
Ouyang Muqing waved her hand and said, "No need! I won't see you even if you come! Just tell me what you want me to do. There are even police officers at home. Lan Zhenhua, you haven't done anything illegal, have you?"
Lan Zhenhua quickly explained, "Mom, it's not what you think! It was Qin Haotian and Siyu who stole our household registration book. What do you think we should do?"
Ouyang Muqing was so angry that she wanted to hit Lan Zhenhua with the sole of her shoe. "For such a small matter, you actually called the police? I'm telling you, I gave them the household registration books. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. Don't implicate Haotian and Siyu!"
Lan Zhenhua was very upset that his mother was helping outsiders, and said depressedly: "Mom, I didn't participate in this marriage. What's the difference between them and thieves? Anyway, I asked you to come here today just to testify against them for stealing! Mom, don't be afraid, your son will protect you!"
Ouyang Muqing said with a smile: "You want me to bear false witness? That's illegal! I only speak from my own personal experience. Also, you don't even understand your own life, and you still want to protect me. Do you have any misunderstandings about yourself?"
Lan Zhenhua anxiously winked at Ouyang Muqing, "Mom! Everyone else is here, at least give me some face!"
Ouyang Muqing was very disappointed with this son. If he was not the only son, the position of heir of the Lan family would have been replaced long ago!
"What's the point of saving face? I'm just telling the truth! Officer, feel free to ask anything you want. Don't bother with my stupid son."
Mr. Chen has basically confirmed that Qin Haotian did not steal the household registration book, and Lan Zhenhua still wants to continue to throw dirty water on him, but Mrs. Lan is more wise and does not listen to Lan Zhenhua blindly.
"Oh, just a few quick questions, please answer them, ma'am."
Ouyang Muqing nodded and said, "Ask!"
Mr. Chen asked, "Boss Lan said Qin Haotian stole your household registration book. Is that true?"
Ouyang Muqing shook her head and said, "No. I gave them the household registration booklet and asked them to get married."
Mr. Chen asked again: "Do you think Mr. Qin is cheating on you?"
Ouyang Muqing shook her head again and said, "No. Haotian and Siyu are truly in love. I can testify for them."
Mr. Chen wrote down the transcript, then turned to Lan Zhenhua and said, "Boss Lan, I'm sorry, but we can't accept the case you reported. I'll take my leave now!"
Lan Zhenhua angrily threw his hands and scolded, "Get lost! You useless fellow! And if our Lan family's affairs get leaked, just wait for the lawyer's letter!"
Mr. Chen was very angry, but the Lan family was a big tree that he could not shake, so he could only turn around and leave.
President Gao stood up again, and this time he walked directly to Lan Zhenhua and warned him, "I'll give you three days. If you can't solve this problem, then the Lan Group will be acquired by someone else!"
Lan Zhenhua quickly grabbed President Gao's arm and explained, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to solve it. Just wait for my good news!"
President Gao also left the Lan family with a cold face. Now, the only people left in the living room were Lan Zhenhua and Xia Qianhui, Qin Haotian and Gu Siyu, and Mrs. Lan, Ouyang Muqing.
When Ouyang Muqing saw her granddaughter coming back, she took Gu Siyu's hand and started chatting about family matters.
"Your variety show is over? Why don't you come to my place for dinner? I'll ask the kitchen to make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."
Gu Siyu shook her head and said, "Yes, it's over. But not today. Grandma Haotian called before and we have to go back to the Qin family's old house for dinner."
When Ouyang Muqing heard that Gu Siyu was doing well in the Qin family, she said happily, "Let's have dinner together tomorrow. We haven't had dinner together for a long time."
Gu Siyu glanced at Qin Haotian, and seeing that he had no objection, she agreed: "Okay, we will come over to accompany you tomorrow."
Ouyang Muqing glanced at the time and said, "It's already half past six. Siyu, go back quickly. I want to chat with your parents for a while."
Gu Siyu reluctantly stood up and said goodbye to Ouyang Muqing, "Grandma, we're going back first. See you tomorrow!"
Ouyang Muqing nodded and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Seeing his mother chatting happily with Gu Siyu, Lan Zhenhua unhappily stopped them, saying, "Don't leave! Change your certificate as soon as possible. President Gao means so much to our Lan family! As long as you're obedient, I won't treat you unfairly!"
Gu Siyu said with a smile: "Grandma, did you hear that? Dad asked me to exchange my marriage certificate for a divorce certificate. Where in the world is there a father like that?"
Ouyang Muqing squeezed Gu Siyu's palm and comforted her, "Don't pay attention to him! I'm still the boss of this family! Haotian, take Siyu back quickly, don't keep your grandma waiting for too long."
Qin Haotian was very glad that the Lan family had a sensible grandmother, otherwise Siyu would have been killed countless times by Lan Yaxin!
“Okay, thank you grandma! I’ll bring Siyu back tomorrow!”
Ouyang Muqing smiled and nodded, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly as she watched Gu Siyu and Qin Haotian disappear from her sight.
"Lan Zhenhua, I'm warning you, stop causing trouble all day long. Siyu and Haotian's marriage was decided by me. If you dare to interfere again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lan Zhenhua had already been formulating a new plan in his mind, and he agreed absentmindedly, "Okay, I won't dare to do that next time! But you must come to Yaxin's birthday next month. It's too important for her!"
"She's been wronged over the years, and we have to compensate her no matter what we say. So let's give that heirloom dress to Yaxin. Siyu is already married anyway, and the Qin family is so rich, they don't need a dress like this."
Ouyang Muqing looked at her son coldly and asked, "Can't a married daughter take it? According to you, I should send this heirloom dress back to my parents' home. After all, I brought it from my parents' home!"
"Also, Lan Yaxin is also a daughter and is going to get married, so how can she take it? Zhenhua, are you too biased? If you don't know, you would think Lan Yaxin is your illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, why would you protect an adopted daughter who has no blood relationship with you so much?"
Lan Zhenhua saw his wife Xia Qianhui's expression change, and anxiously defended herself, "This is different. How can our Lan family's heritage compare to the Qin family's? The Qin family has a longer history than ours. How many antique treasures have been passed down from generation to generation? How could they look down upon a mere dress?"
"As for Yaxin, I've watched her grow up, and my feelings for her are different. I really don't want her to suffer. I want to find a live-in son-in-law so that Yaxin can live in the Lan family forever, and the heirloom dress can also stay in the Lan family forever."
