The car arrived at the doorstep at around 5 p.m.

Jiang Ran got out of the car and walked into the yard, where he saw his mother, Lin Sufang, carrying a basin as she came out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing Jiang Ran, Lin Sufang quickly stepped forward: "Ranran, Mom has already talked to your dad. He was a little angry because he saw the video your aunt forwarded. Come inside and tell me what happened."

"Mom, I understand."

Jiang Ran nodded and reluctantly walked into the house.

In the living room, Jiang Jianping lit a cigarette and remained silent.

Upon seeing Jiang Ran enter, Jiang Jianping snorted and his eyes widened in surprise!

"dad!"

Jiang Ran called out and sat down opposite Jiang Jianping, then took the initiative to explain his business dealings with Huang Xiao.

"That's how it happened. I only found out later that those two videos had been secretly filmed. I told that girl to delete them immediately, but who knew she still kept them..."

Looking at the two videos on his phone that had already garnered over 50 likes, Jiang Ran was somewhat speechless.

It seems Huang Xiao didn't want to delete it because he was worried about the data usage, which resulted in his parents seeing it. Jiang Ran suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed.

"Oh, I see! Why didn't you say so sooner, child!"

Lin Sufang realized what was happening, patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "Your dad thought you'd found someone else to be your father. Look how angry he is!"

"How is that possible!"

Jiang Ran touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Although Jiang Jianping didn't speak, his expression softened considerably after hearing Jiang Ran's explanation.

"By the way, Ranran, what do you think of the girl your aunt introduced you to?"

As if she had thought of something, Lin Sufang came closer, her face full of concern.

Across from him, Jiang Jianping's expression also turned serious. "These days, there are so many scams, Xiaoran. You need to be careful. After all, you met through a blind date. These days, you can't be too careful!"

Listening to her parents' words, even though Jiang Ran had already graduated and was even married, she still felt like a minor sitting in the room.

The image of Wen Ling's domineering presence flashed through Jiang Ran's mind, and her lips twitched. She murmured, "Dad, Mom, you really don't need to worry about this. She shouldn't be lying to me..."

"You silly child!"

Lin Sufang nagged for a moment, then slapped Jiang Ran on the head, "I saw the post you made on WeChat Moments yesterday. That girl is pretty, but she's six years older than you, and she has more life experience than you. How can you not be careful?"

"Your mother is right, Xiaoran. Don't think you can just become a hands-off parent because she's pretty. What did Dad tell you before? The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!"

Seeing his parents arguing back and forth, Jiang Ran was speechless.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "No, why do you suddenly think he's a fraud?!"

Lin Sufang and Jiang Jianping exchanged a glance and slowly said, "It's all because of your aunt... Let me tell you, the mother of the blind date she introduced you to was someone she met at a beauty salon. Well, that salon went out of business recently, and your aunt wanted to go with Wen Ling's mother to the owner to demand compensation, but Wen Ling's mother's phone was switched off, and we can't get through to her at all today..."

"So you suspect that the shop owner and Wen Ling's mother conspired to cheat consumers out of their money?!"

Hearing her mother's words, Jiang Ran instantly understood their worries.

He said that all of a sudden, his parents were telling him to be wary of Wen Ling, so there must be something going on with the previous generation!

Seeing Lin Sufang nodding, Jiang Ran's lips twitched as he recalled Wen Ling signing a marital property agreement, giving him 50 million in assets plus a car for free.

Looking at the authentic Rolex watch still on his wrist, Jiang Ran couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dad, Mom, I think you two should eat more if you have nothing else to do..."

Lin Sufang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ran smacked her lips, unable to hold back any longer: "Mind your own business."

Lin Su-fang: "..."

Jiang Jianping raised an eyebrow and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "How dare you talk like that, kid! Your mother and I are just worried about you!"

"I'm 23! I'm not stupid..."

Jiang Ran was utterly speechless. He rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the watch on his wrist, saying, "Dad, do you know what this is?"

Seeing Jiang Jianping's bewildered expression, Jiang Ran sighed, stood up, and pointed to the car outside the yard, saying, "Never mind, Dad, why don't you take a look at the car I drive?"

"car?"

"Yes, that's a Mercedes G-Class. Wen Ling gave it to me after we got married..."

Lin Sufang didn't know anything about cars, but Jiang Jianping, who was also a man, widened his eyes instantly!

"The G-Wagon? You mean the one that costs several million?"

He exclaimed in surprise, turning to look at Jiang Ran: "My daughter-in-law gave it to me?"

Upon hearing the words "daughter-in-law," Jiang Ran felt a chill run down her spine.

He nodded reluctantly, "Yes, and the villa we went to together last time, Wen Ling and I have already signed a post-nuptial property agreement, so I own half of that house now..."

Seeing her parents, who were somewhat dazed, Jiang Ran let out a long sigh of relief. "So, Dad, Mom, do you still think Wen Ling's mother would lie?"

"What if this money was obtained through fraud?"

Jiang Jianping remained relatively calm. After listening to these words, he didn't rush to conclusions. He looked at Jiang Ran seriously and said, "Ranran, you're still young. Getting your marriage certificate is a bit too fast. After all, she's six years older than you..."

Meeting Jiang Jianping's gaze, Lin Sufang nodded, "Yes, when are you going to bring that child back so we can see him? We're family now, aren't we?"

After all this time, it turns out his parents were waiting for him here!

Seeing the way his parents looked at each other, Jiang Ran instantly understood. All his explanations after he came back were just excuses. They were actually anxious to see Wen Ling.

However, to be honest, since he and Wen Ling have already registered their marriage, there's nothing wrong with meeting each other's parents.

But his relationship with Wen Ling was just a contractual one; would she really agree to accompany him to meet his parents?!

"There will be an opportunity..."

Jiang Ran was at a loss for words and could only bite the bullet and try to find the right words.

However, before he could finish speaking, a commotion broke out outside the courtyard.

As a taxi pulled up at the gate, Qin Yiyao got out alone and walked confidently into the courtyard...

Jiang Ran was completely dumbfounded when Qin Yiyao appeared.

Beside her, Jiang Jianping and Lin Sufang instantly became alert, both looking at Qin Yiyao with some hostility.

"Uncle and Aunt..."

Despite the obviously unfriendly stares, Qin Yiyao forced a smile and greeted the two of them warmly.

Before Jiang Ran could even ask him to leave, his mother, Lin Sufang, blurted out, "You're not welcome in our home!"

Instantly, Qin Yiyao's smile froze.

Her eyes flickered, and she looked directly at Jiang Ran with a pleading look in her eyes. "Auntie, please don't say that. I came here specifically to see Jiang Ran."

"My son is married already, why are you still looking for him?! Go back to your own home!"

Jiang Jianping also looked impatient and waved him away.

"uncle......"

Qin Yiyao never expected that Jiang Ran's parents, who had been so polite to her before, would suddenly become like completely different people and try to kick her out.

In an instant, Qin Yiyao's eyes reddened, and she burst into tears. "Uncle and Aunt, you must have misunderstood something. Back then, Jiang Ran and I agreed that we were only separating for a while, and we hadn't broken up... I've been thinking about Jiang Ran ever since..."

She sobbed, looking pitifully at Jiang Ran as he came out of the living room.

Tears streamed down her face as she stood alone in the courtyard, looking as if she had been bullied.

Jiang Ran and Qin Yiyao did know each other for a long time, and their relationship was influenced by their parents' generation. However, no one expected that Qin Yiyao would change her mind later.

But now, looking down at Qin Yiyao standing pitifully in the courtyard, Jiang Ran didn't feel any pity for her.

His only worry was that his parents would feel overwhelmed with sympathy if they saw Qin Yiyao like this...

But the next second, Lin Sufang's words warmed Jiang Ran's heart!

"You're kidding me, little girl. We don't believe our own son, why should we believe an outsider like you?!"
