Chapter 66: Sister-in-law is here again
In order to ease the relationship between Nan Li's family and Cai Juying, Nan Jianlong proposed to hold a family dinner.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that every family dinner in the past had almost always ended in a bad mood and none of them had ended smoothly.

In order to take care of her mother Zhao Na's feelings, Nan Li firmly stated that she would not attend the banquet.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Na insisted that Nan Li bring the whole family with her after hearing this. She wanted to make Cai Juying put herself in the position of the mistress.

If Huanhuan and Chaochao really became estranged from grandpa, wouldn't that be exactly what some mistress wanted?

Lin Yuan's home.

Tian Yulan made some delicious side dishes, and then sat face to face with Lin Yuan at the dining table.

When Lin Yuan heard Tian Yulan talking about the Nan family's dinner tomorrow, he found it very interesting.

I guess Tian Yulan doesn’t know yet that Cai Juying wanted to go to Zhao Na’s house to take care of her on behalf of Nan Jianlong, but was hit by a book by Zhao Na.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have the leisure to sit here and have dinner with me calmly.

He was thinking about what he could do to make the Nan family dinner more interesting.

Although in the original drama, this party was already chaotic enough.

Lin Yuan asked, "How is your relationship with Nan Li recently?"

"What else can happen between me and her?" Tian Yulan shook her head, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in the bowl without any appetite. "We'll see each other sooner or later."

The last time I helped Xia Junshan, I didn't get any benefit at all.

Nan Like is really "selfless". She doesn't even give any discounts to the 100 shopping mall where she works for the home furnishing store.

If this continues, all users will have to go to other shopping malls to buy furniture.

Nan Li was also speechless about what happened in the hotel box last time. She just sprained her foot and asked Lin Yuan to help apply some medicated oil, but when she turned around, Tian Yulan accused her harshly.

Isn't it reasonable that your legs are so long that your hands can't reach you?
Isn't it right to ask Lin Yuan for help when there is no one else around me?
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to take off the sizzling socks before applying the medicated oil?

But Tian Yulan refused to give in, as if she had committed a serious crime.

Besides, you, Tian Yulan, are not related to Lin Yuan. Is it necessary to be so impatient?
Do I need to explain so much to you?

After that incident between the two of them, they haven't communicated much in private.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I heard from Nan Li that once she gets the home furnishing store done, she will be able to secure the position of marketing director?"

Tian Yulan curled her lips slightly, and flicked her hair with her slender fingers, and replied nonchalantly: "That's not necessarily the case. It's hard to say who will have the last laugh."

Lin Yuan leaned forward, staring at Tian Yulan, and said with a half-smile: "Don't pretend with me, you can't beat her. If I were you, you should bow your head to Nan Li when we meet tomorrow. Nan Li is a generous person and will not bear grudges. Maybe she will even tilt resources towards you a little in the future."

"I bowed to her?" Tian Yulan sneered as if she had heard a huge joke, with a look of disdain on her face.

Especially when he saw Lin Yuan seemed to be speaking well of Nan Li, he felt even more indignant.

In her opinion, Lin Yuan, how could you side with Nan Li?
"If you can't say it, I can also help you pass on a message." Seeing this, Lin Yuan's smile became even more intense, and he continued to add fuel to the fire, "I heard from Nan Li that no one cared about the complaint letter you wrote to President Wei Nuan. You can't bypass the president's office and complain directly to the board of directors."

Tian Yulan, whose eyes had been a little dim originally, brightened up when she heard this. If Nan Li really didn't give her any face at all, then don't blame her for being rude.

"Oh, she's not the marketing director yet. Even if she does become one, it doesn't mean that no one can control her."

"Why do you have to make things difficult for Nan Li? After all, she is an intellectual and has her own principles. You can't just report her if she doesn't give you a backdoor." Lin Yuan deliberately sighed.

Tian Yulan curled her pretty lips slightly, showing dissatisfaction, and said in an excited tone: "She was the one who was making things difficult for me, and she was the one who deliberately targeted me first. Why do you always speak for her?"

Tian Yulan said, narrowing her eyes, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, "I know the tone you used to talk to Nan Li before, how come you understand her now?"

Lin Yuan smiled gently.

Of course, I’m afraid you guys aren’t making enough noise.

"What do you mean by understanding or not understanding? Xia Junshan is my senior brother, and Nan Li is also my sister-in-law."

"Tsk, sister-in-law is here again at this time?"

……

Tian Yulan slept a little fuzzily last night, and when she woke up in the morning she had forgotten about the family gathering.

Time passed quickly and it was noon. After Tian Yulan finished her work, she suddenly remembered the party. She quickly picked up her phone and called Yan Peng.

Yan Peng was also very happy after receiving the call, thinking that his wife was no longer angry, and his tone was full of surprise: "Wife."

Tian Yulan's tone was still stiff: "Pick up Ziyou in the afternoon and go to grandpa's house for dinner together."

Yan Peng thought this was a sign that his wife was coming home, so he nodded hurriedly and replied with a smile on his face: "Okay, honey, I'll tell you..."

"Beep beep."

When Yan Peng wanted to say a few more words and have a good chat with his wife, Tian Yulan had already hung up the phone.

Nan Jianlong's home.

When Tian Yulan hurried over after get off work, it was already getting dark.

I saw everyone was playing leisurely.

Nan Jianlong was teasing a few children with a loving look on his face.

Xia Junshan and Yan Peng are talking about a pay-to-win mobile game.

Nan Li sat leisurely on the sofa, swiping her fingers on her mobile phone.

Seven or eight dishes had already been placed on the table, and the steaming dishes exuded an enticing aroma.

But Cai Juying was still busy in the kitchen.

"Oh, Mom, are you going to cook a banquet?" Tian Yulan said as she quickly walked into the kitchen.

Hearing her daughter's voice, Cai Juying didn't even have time to turn around. She held the pot handle tightly with one hand and poured vegetables into the pot with the other hand: "You came at the right time, help me, mom is too busy."

Tian Yulan tied her apron, washed her hands, and began to help Cai Juying. While she was cutting vegetables, she complained, "There are so many people outside, but no one wants to come in to help."

Daughters always feel sorry for their mothers.

Cai Juying was a little indignant that she had to take care of the meals for such a large family by herself, while the others were just relaxing and having fun.

This behavior in particular was something she had experienced herself a few days ago.

I worked hard for most of the day but didn't get a single nice word.

This is also the biggest reason why she resolutely refused Yan's father and mother's request to resign and have a second child. In her opinion, once a woman loses her source of income, she can only be like Cai Juying, revolving around the boiler every day.

"They are all guests. How can we let them take action?" Cai Juying turned around and smiled at Tian Yulan.

"As your daughter, I'm not a guest, right?" Tian Yulan muttered unhappily, but when she glanced unintentionally, she discovered that there was a red and swollen mark on Cai Juying's forehead.

Her heart tightened, and her voice immediately rose a few degrees: "What's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, I bumped into it accidentally." Cai Juying's eyes were evasive, trying to avoid her daughter's sharp gaze.

Tian Yulan's eyes flashed with worry and sadness. This injury obviously didn't look like a knock. She asked tentatively, "Could he have hit you?"

"How could that be? Your uncle Nan is not that kind of person."

Tian Yulan put her hands on Cai Juying's shoulders, asked her to turn around and face him, and looked straight into her eyes: "Who is that? Tell me!"

Seeing that she could not hide it any longer, Cai Juying could only slowly say, "Your Uncle Nan was unhappy these days, so I thought about taking care of Lili's mother for him, but I was beaten out. The book hit me, but it's okay." As soon as these words came out, Tian Yulan's anger rose and her face turned red with anger.

Although Tian Yulan is usually very shrewd and even a little petty about many things, her filial piety towards her mother comes from the bottom of her heart.

She was very clear about standing up for her mother, and she would never agree to anyone bullying Cai Juying.

"No, is it okay? I'll go and argue with them." Tian Yulan turned around and prepared to open the glass door of the kitchen and go out.

Cai Juying quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't make your uncle Nan unhappy. Be obedient!"

Tian Yulan looked helpless: "Why do you only think about him and not yourself?"

"If your uncle Nan is happy, I am naturally happy too. Living like this is what Mom wants. Mom doesn't feel any pain any more. Please don't cause any trouble."

Seeing Cai Juying begging her desperately, Tian Yulan bit her lower lip tightly. After all, she couldn't bear to go against her wishes.

She suppressed her anger and silently accompanied Cai Juying in her work.

At this moment, Nan Li was lazily crossing her legs, her fingers lightly sliding on her mobile phone, with a smile on her face from time to time. Seeing this scene, Tian Yulan could no longer suppress the nameless anger in her heart.

I was already a little angry seeing my mother busying around, and now my mother was hurt like this, but this family didn't even show any intention of expressing apology.

She brought out a plate of cooked food and placed it heavily on the table with a thump.

"Yan Peng."

Tian Yulan shouted suddenly, attracting the attention of everyone in the living room.

Yan Peng was stunned: "What...what happened?"

"You're used to eating ready-made food, don't you know how to help? Or prepare for me to feed it to your mouth."

Cai Juying came over quickly and walked between her daughter and son-in-law to smooth things over. She winked at Tian Yulan and said, "How can you talk like that?"

Yan Peng was not stupid. He could clearly hear that Tian Yulan was making a veiled complaint and that he was just a chicken to scare the monkeys. He stood up, scratched his head, and prepared to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!" Cai Juying shouted with a smile.

The whole family sat at the dinner table. Cai Juying began to pour juice for the children. When she walked to Xia Chaochao, Xia Chaochao pointed at Cai Juying's forehead and said in a baby voice, "Grandma Cai's head is broken."

Yan Peng took a closer look and asked with concern, "It's really broken. Mom, what happened? Did you go to the hospital?"

Cai Juying waved her hand: "It's okay."

"What hospital are you going to?" Tian Yulan replied coldly, "I'm taking care of the whole family like a nanny, but no one cares about me."

Cai Juying quickly said, "Lanlan, stop talking."

Tian Yulan's cold words made everyone present feel puzzled.

Who is this anger directed at?

Among the people at the table, apart from the mother and daughter, only Xia Junshan knew how Cai Juying's forehead was injured.

Tian Yulan sneered: "You beat someone up and act like nothing happened."

Her gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Nan Li, the coldness in her eyes becoming even stronger.

When these words came out, Nan Jianlong was also surprised. His eyes widened and he looked at Tian Yulan, then at Cai Juying, "Didn't you say that you accidentally bumped into it?"

Yan Peng wondered: "Who hit me?"

Seeing Nan Li pretending to be ignorant, Tian Yulan's expression became even colder.

Xia Junshan quickly explained: "I didn't hit her on purpose. I was just angry. Mom was particularly angry that day and there happened to be a book next to her, so..."

Tian Yulan sneered: "Fortunately it was a book, if it was a knife, I'm afraid it would have been thrown at me too."

"Oh, Lanlan, stop talking." Cai Juying was a little anxious.

"Why can't I tell you? You claim to be a cultured person, but you are actually doing barbaric things. It's a good thing you are lying in bed and can't move. If you could move, I would beat you to a pulp."

Hearing Tian Yulan's sarcastic tone, Nan Li couldn't help it.

"Who are you talking about? My mom is already lying down, what else can I do? Who knows what you guys are thinking when you come to my house? My mom's back is getting worse because of anger, and I haven't even said anything yet, but you guys are already complaining."

Tian Yulan's voice became louder and louder: "What do you mean by peace of mind? Every time you come back, there is a table full of food to serve you. Aren't you eating with peace of mind?"

Seeing his two daughters arguing non-stop, Nan Jianlong quickly tried to smooth things over, "Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking. Come on, raise your glasses and eat."

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, let me toast you."

"I'll toast you too."

The two sons-in-law quickly echoed and stood up to clink glasses with Nan Jianlong.

"What are you eating!" Nan Li roared, her voice resounding in the living room like thunder, and she turned and walked out the door.

Cai Juying quickly stood up to stop her, but not everyone could stand Cai Juying's tantrum and trickery. She grabbed Nan Li's sleeve and refused to let go. Nan Li shook her hand violently and pushed Cai Juying to the ground.

Tian Yulan was so angry that she walked forward and said, "Nan Li, you hit my mom, didn't you?"

"When did I hit your mother?"

Nan Li was furious. This mistress grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go. She just tried to push her away, but why did she end up fighting?

If Yan Peng and Xia Junshan hadn't stopped them, the two would have started fighting long ago.

"Your whole family has violent tendencies!"

"Who are you talking about?"

The house was suddenly in chaos, even noisier than a vegetable market.

Nan Jianlong angrily smashed the wine glass and yelled at Nan Li:
"How can you fight with your Aunt Cai? She is the elder!"

Nan Li felt also very aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes. It was fine if others misunderstood her, but her own father actually accused her in such an indiscriminate manner.

"I shouldn't have come. Do I need your meal? Even if eight sedan chairs carry me in the future, I won't come here!"

After saying this, he took the two children and left without looking back.

After Nan Li's family left, Tian Yulan's family also left.

"Wife, do you think you have gone too far today?"

"Why do you need to pretend to be a good person?" Tian Yulan responded unhappily, her face still gloomy, "You don't have to feel any pain in your waist when you stand and talk."

Yan Peng sighed helplessly: "We are all family, we will see each other sooner or later."

Tian Yulan rolled her eyes at him and said, "We are not a family. My mother, Ziyou and I are a family."

"My parents just feel sorry for me. The old couple have no other intentions. If Ziyou was beaten, how could you not feel sad? It's all the same." Yan Peng advised with a frown.

"Anyway, there's no way I can just go back like this."

Tian Yulan was still angry. If it weren't for Yan Ziyu, she would have divorced Yan Peng long ago.

"I rented a room in Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zhong's house. I will take Ziyou there on weekends. If there is anything he doesn't understand, Ziyou can directly ask the two teachers."

"Ah? Is it possible?" Yan Peng widened his eyes.
