Nan Shu had a smooth journey, and when she returned to her rented room it was already past 2 p.m.

She hadn't eaten much at Song Ci's place, but now that she was back in a familiar place, her guard had relaxed, and she suddenly felt a little hungry.

Nan Shu rubbed her stomach and glanced at the refrigerator.

Although Qi Yuye had already had the room cleaned in advance, the refrigerator was completely empty.

Nan Shu hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively decided to go out to eat.

On the other side, the Chen family.

Looking at Chen Jingyan, who had a scruffy beard, Old Mrs. Chen burst into tears, wailing loudly as she cried.

"My poor son! If it weren't for that vixen, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Don't worry, Mom will definitely find a way to make her pay. She'll make her pay for all the suffering she caused you!"

Chen Jingyan frowned, watching the old lady in front of him weep bitterly, his gaze unwavering.

"Mom, let me go! Tell me, how did you find a lawyer?"

He knew that with Qi Yuye's abilities, it would be easy for him to spend the rest of his life in jail.

But at that crucial moment, his mother, who was over fifty, actually brought a lawyer with extraordinary abilities, who managed to turn the situation around, which was truly unbelievable.

Upon hearing Chen Jingyan's words, Old Madam Chen looked smug and said.

"You know that there has always been discord within the Qi family. Since Qi Yuye wants to kill you, I thought I would find someone who can deal with him. Right now, there is only one person in the entire Qi family who can help you, so I went to her for help."

Chen Jingyan pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened.

"You sought out Song Ci?"

Grandma Chen nodded, eager to tell Chen Jingyan what had happened.

Chen Jingyan's face suddenly turned very ugly, and he shoved Old Madam Chen away.

"Mom, she's the kind of woman who won't do anything without a reason. What conditions did you offer to get her to help you?"

Upon hearing Chen Jingyan's words, Old Mrs. Chen immediately began to stammer.

Seeing Old Mrs. Chen's appearance, Chen Jingyan immediately guessed what was going on.

"Mom, tell me, what did you do?"

Seeing Chen Jingyan's unpleasant expression, Old Madam Chen had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I did as Song Ci asked; at her birthday banquet, I mentioned some things about you, hoping everyone would help you get justice..."

"After all, you were so badly harmed by that woman Nan Shu. You even went to prison, while she's doing just fine and has even climbed up the social ladder. If a woman like that existed in ancient times, she would have been drowned in a pig cage."

"mom!"

Chen Jingyan finally couldn't take it anymore, and he looked at Old Madam Chen with a gloomy face.

"Didn't I tell you? My business with Nan Shu is none of your concern!"

"From now on, don't interfere in our affairs anymore. If it weren't for you, we might not be in this situation now!"

Old Mrs. Chen was shocked that Chen Jingyan would speak up for Nan Shu at this moment, and she almost choked on her breath.

She clutched her chest abruptly, looking at Chen Jingyan with a pained expression.

"I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, and this is how you treat me?"

"Do you really think Mom isn't even as good as that woman?!"

Grandma Chen pounded her chest with her fist, looking very sad.

Seeing the old lady Chen like this, Chen Jingyan's heart softened instantly.

He reached out and grabbed Mrs. Chen's shoulder, comforting her.

"Mom, that's not what I meant."

"You should get some rest. Now that I'm out, you can relax."

Grandma Chen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction when she saw that Chen Jingyan's complexion had returned to normal.

"As long as you can understand, that's all that matters. Mom doesn't want anything else now, she just hopes you can be alright."

Chen Jingyan finally managed to get Old Madam Chen back to her room.

After a while, Chen Jingyan came out of the room, his expression returning to normal.

Upon hearing what Old Mrs. Chen had just said, Chen Jingyan suddenly felt a little worried.

What if Nan Shu gets angry with him because of this?

Thinking of this, Chen Jingyan did not hesitate at all and immediately got up and walked towards the door.

He found a phone number and dialed it directly.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Jingyan couldn't wait to ask the question.

"Where is Nan Shu now?"

"Mr. Chen, Miss Nan has moved out of the Qi family home. I will send you an address; that's where she lives now."

Upon hearing those words, Chen Jingyan's eyes lit up immediately.

"You mean Nan Shu moved out of the Qi family's house? Is she living alone?"

"And her son, it seems like it's because she and Qi Yuye had a fight, it's been all over the industry lately."

Chen Jingyan snorted coldly, "I knew Qi Yuye wouldn't cherish Nan Shu. Since that's the case, then he doesn't deserve to stay by Nan Shu's side!"

Looking at the address on his phone, Chen Jingyan immediately stepped on the gas.

With a roar, Chen Jingyan's car sped away.

Nan Shu had a quick meal at a restaurant outside the residential area, and then prepared to go back to rest.

She strolled leisurely through the residential area, her gaze sweeping across the complex.

Her gaze inadvertently swept across a corner of the wall and suddenly met a pair of sharp eyes.

Those eyes quickly looked away the moment they met her gaze, and there seemed to be some panic in them.

Nan Shu looked away with some confusion. She hadn't realized anything at first, but the further she walked, the more she couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Why did that person look away in such a panic the moment their eyes met, as if they had been caught peeping?

Realizing this, Nan Shu's heart started racing, and she quickened her pace, wanting to get home as soon as possible.

The gaze from behind was intense and impossible to ignore.

This made Nan Shu even more certain that someone was following her or monitoring her!

Nan Shu's heart was pounding. She tried to calm herself down, and as she saw that she was almost at her accommodation, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Once inside the apartment building, there are security cameras, so the other party probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

Nan Shu hurried towards the apartment building.

As soon as she entered the building, Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to press the elevator button when a pair of large hands suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth.

Nan Shu's eyes widened, her heart filled with terror.

She struggled violently, waving her hands to try and push away the people behind her.

Seeing Nan Shu's intense reaction, the person behind her sighed and spoke.

"Nan Shu, it's me."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Nan Shu paused for a moment, then struggled even more violently.

"Hmm!"

Seeing that Chen Jingyan showed no intention of letting go, Nan Shu took advantage of his inattention and stomped down on the foot behind him.

"what!"

Chen Jingyan cried out in pain and had no choice but to release Nan Shu.
