Xiao Qian took a couple of steps, but before Yu Minglang could catch up, she stopped doubtfully and turned her head back, ending up in his strong embrace.

“Do you want to strangle me…”

Yu Minglang really wanted to say how much he would cherish Xiao Qian in the future, but holding her in his arms, he didn’t want to say anything. All he wanted to do was hold her close and never let her go. How could he live without this strong, independent woman who was enough to deter eighty percent of men…

“Xiao Mei, I think you’re like Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball, so powerful…”

Xiao Qian decided to check who this was later, and after checking, she didn’t talk to Yu Minglang for a week. She asked him why he couldn’t praise her properly, and wondered how she was like a housewife who didn’t do anything.

What Yu Minglang wanted to express was that his Xiao Mei was definitely a woman who could keep a man obedient, and he was kind of willingly being controlled by her.

After sending Xiao Qian home and seeing the white sedan parked at the door, Jia Xiufang felt it looked familiar.

“Qian’er, hasn’t someone given us a ride in this car before, called., what was it… ‘neo-nets?'”

“Volvo, one of the favorite car models among well-paid white-collar workers.” Xiao Qian’s answer made Jia Xiufang slap her forehead.

“Oh, I remember now. The lawyer who helped us with the lawsuit drove one of these.”

Seeing Yu Minglang’s car, Ya Ming directly got off the car and waved at Yu Minglang. Jia Xiufang was puzzled, was this really that lawyer? Why was he here?

“Ya Ming, how long have you been waiting?” Yu Minglang got out of the car and patted Ya Ming on the shoulder.

“Just got here, and I j’ust happened to be passing by for some business.”

Jia Xiufang noticed that her daughter’s friends had come to their house, so she quietly asked Xiao Qian, “Qian’er, does Ming Lang have any urgent business?”

Xiao Qian glanced at her mom, “He is fine, it’s our house that might have a problem.”

“Our house?” Jia Xiufang didn’t understand. Xiao Qian pointed to the door, “Open it and check on my Grandma.”

Jia Xiufang hastened to open the door and went up to the second floor. Xiao Qian called for Yu Minglang and Ya Ming to come in and let Chen Zilong make them some tea. Then she followed her mother upstairs.

The old lady was mostly confused these days and couldn’t recognize people well. Jia Xiufang would change her diapers before leaving the house, and place water and fruits on the bedside table for her.

The old woman still slept, and Jia Xiufang let out a sigh of relief.

“Your Grandma is doing well. Let’s give her a bath later. You can help me lift her onto the wheelchair.”

She was already very filial in taking care of the elderly like that, wiping their bodies daily and bathing them every few days. Taking care of a paralyzed old person required a lot of patience and love, which Jia Xiufang had been doing for years.

Xiao Qian didn’t answer her mom, but instead, reached out to take Jia Xiufang’s wrist.

“What’s wrong?” Jia Xiufang asked.

“Mom, you have a set of social norms in your heart, which you have been living by for many years. You always hold yourself to those values, but you can’t apply them to others. So when others let you down, you become very, very angry.” “What’s the matter with you? You’ve been studying at a university away from home for half a year, and now you can’t talk like a normal person?” Jia Xiufang didn’t understand but felt her daughter’s expression was too serious.

“All this time, you’ve educated me to be a kind person. Of course, you didn’t say it directly; you showed it through your actions. You always say that heaven is watching what people do, so even when nobody is around, you make sure to do everything right. That’s why, when you see Second Aunt not living up to your expectations, you’re furious. You always say that heaven will punish her, but I want to tell you that sometimes heaven is too busy, and more often, we have to rely on ourselves.”

“What on Earth are you trying to say, child?”

Xiao Qian shook her head. These words were not just for her mother but for herself as well. In her past life, before she turned 18, she was just like her current mother, always using strong moral values to limit herself but giving those who didn’t follow the rules the opportunity to hurt her.

“What I want to say is that no matter what Second Uncle and his family have done, you can’t be angry. Anger can cause harm to your health, and I don’t want you to hurt yourself because of someone else’s mistakes. No matter what you find out later, trust me and let me handle it.”

“Ah, I can’t even talk to your Second Uncle anymore. I can’t believe our family has come to this.”

Jia Xiufang still wanted to sit down and talk to her elder brother. Although her daughter had been discussing the house issue, Jia Xiufang thought that if her Second Brother could take good care of their mother, she could give up the property. After all, they were just two siblings, and she didn’t want them to ignore each other forever when they met.

But today, the performance of Second Brother and his wife completely chilled Jia Xiufang’s heart.

“They’re treating you like a fool by doing this. Talking to them about feelings is useless now, so Mom, it’s time to fight.” Xiao Qian clenched her fist and was slapped on the head by Jia Xiufang, “Have you lost your mind? Fight what?”

Xiao Qian stuck out her tongue, “One of my roommates is a chuuni girl. She probably infected me.”

She couldn’t just come up with lines for a stage play, see, it left her with aftereffects.

Xiao Qian saw Jia Xiufang laughing and returned to the topic.

“Mom, don’t you think Grandma has been sleeping for too long?”

“Yeah, what’s going on? She should’ve woken up by now. What time is it…” and she and Xiao Qian had been standing in front of the old lady’s bed talking for so long, how could she not be awake?

Xiao Qian held her grandma’s hand and showed it to Jia Xiufang.

“The reason my Grandma can’t wake up is that someone gave her sleeping pills. The goaL.is this.”

Jia Xiufang took a closer look, the old lady’s thumb was red, and she exclaimed in fear.

“Ai Ma, what happened to your mom’s hand!”

“Don’t be scared, it’s not bleeding. Look carefully, what is this!”

Xiao Qian had already anticipated this situation.

“Eh, it looks like ink?” Jia Xiufang hadn’t figured out why her paralyzed mom would have ink-colored prints on her hand when she couldn’t even get up.

Yu Minglang came up with Ya Ming and the police who had been here before.

While Xiao Qian was psychologically preparing her mom, the police had already arrived.

“A group of people, taking advantage of you two going out to eat, sneaked into your house, drugged the old lady, and made her press her thumbprint. Officer Wang, please come over to collect evidence.” Yu Minglang said.

The officer came over to examine the old lady, then went to the window. The bedroom was on the second floor, and the window had been tampered with – there was a footprint on the white windowsill.

“We will file an investigation.”

In order to achieve their goals, they randomly broke into someone else’s house and drugged the elderly. Second Uncle’s family would stop at nothing for money.

Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang had already expected all this before they went out to eat.
