At Li Yuetong's parents' house, Su Mingyue sat close to Li Yuetong on the sofa in the living room.

Shen Qiangwei nestled obediently on Li Yuetong's lap, quietly leaning against her, her little face sweet and adorable.

Li Jing'an sat alone on the opposite sofa, his posture upright, his eyes never leaving his daughter.

The elderly couple's gaze kept shifting between Li Yuetong and Shen Qiangwei's small figures, scrutinizing them from head to toe, their eyes filled with intense curiosity, observation, and the joy of having them back.

Su Mingyue stared at her daughter for a long while, her tone full of relief, and couldn't help but murmur,

"My darling hasn't lost weight at all; in fact, she's gotten a bit rounder. She looks radiant, and you seem even more beautiful than before you got married."

Li Wei is really good; he took such good care of you. Why didn't he come in?

Where are his parents? And who is this little girl?

Su Mingyue looked at her daughter carefully for a while and felt much more relieved. Her daughter must be living a happy life, otherwise she wouldn't have such a rosy complexion and have even gained some weight in some places.

As the old saying goes, raising a person is like raising a flower. When someone is well cared for, their overall temperament and appearance will be greatly enhanced. Li Yuetong is even more outstanding and beautiful than before. She doesn't look like she's over fifty at all.

Li Jing'an, standing to the side, gazed steadily at his daughter. Though inwardly very satisfied, his face maintained the solemnity of a patriarch. He slowly nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

"Li Wei is a responsible man. I used to look down on him because he was too honest and didn't think he was good enough for our precious daughter."

"I never expected him to be so capable in such chaotic times. Not only did he take such good care of you, but he also dared to risk his life to bring you back. I really underestimated him, Tongtong. There's one more thing you need to tell Dad honestly: who killed those people who broke in outside?"

He opened the door and only saw his daughter and the corpses; he didn't see anyone else. He still couldn't quite believe that his honest son-in-law had killed these people.

In his memory, he was a bookworm who would be nervous and trembling whenever he saw him.

Li Yuetong felt quite embarrassed by her parents' questions, and lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

It wasn't Li Wei who took such good care of her; it was clearly Mr. Shen, but it was so hard to say it out loud! But if she didn't say it, Mr. Shen would probably throw a tantrum when he came in.

As the only person in the know, she understood the consequences of Mr. Shen's outburst and knew she simply couldn't bear them!

It's incredibly stressful...

Li Yuetong bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

Su Mingyue and Li Jing'an, both experienced people, could tell at a glance that their daughter had something difficult to say. They exchanged a glance without saying a word and tacitly refrained from urging her.

Li Yuetong took a deep breath and spoke softly.

"Dad, Mom, I came back with my husband and a few teammates. Rose is my husband's adopted daughter. The people outside were indeed killed by my husband. They were all bad people..."

"Mom knows they've done a lot of heinous things these past few days. If Li Wei hadn't come back, you wouldn't be seeing Mom and Dad today. Good riddance! But Li Wei is truly an amazing kid!"

"Mmm! That's really something, you've got guts!"

Li Jing'an and Su Mingyue spoke highly of Li Wei.

Li Yuetong's big eyes darted from one person to another, her lips clenched even tighter. Finally, she steeled herself, closed her eyes, and spoke in a barely audible whisper.

Su Mingyue raised her hand and patted Li Yuetong's hand. "Your husband isn't Li Wei? It's okay, buddy... huh?"

She stopped mid-sentence, her tone abruptly halting, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at her husband.

"Girl! What...what do you mean?"

Li Jing'an was also dumbfounded...

Didn't they just have their wedding a week ago?

He remembered that his son-in-law's name was Li Wei!

Seeing her parents' blank and surprised expressions, Li Yuetong stopped hiding it.

It took some time.

He slowly recounted everything that had happened to him since the end of the world.

After hearing his daughter's entire story, Li Jing'an was instantly consumed by rage, his face turned ashen, and his chest heaved violently with anger.

"Bang!"

His face flushed red, and he angrily raised his hand, slamming it heavily on the sofa armrest, shouting furiously.

"I told you Li Wei isn't a man! A spineless coward! He can't even protect his own wife! His parents aren't any better; they're too cruel to let a girl like you go to a single man's house to cook and serve him. It's just too much!"

That Mr. Shen you mentioned is no good either! How could he seduce a married woman! Disgusting!

Outside the door, the "vulgar" Shenhe stopped in his tracks.

Hearing the voices inside the door, he raised an eyebrow and calmly turned his head to look behind him.

Zhang Ran and Li Wanning immediately put on innocent faces, their eyes darting around, looking at the walls and the corridor, deliberately avoiding Shen He's gaze.

Tang Dashan voluntarily stayed in the car to watch it and did not come in.

Shenhe was satisfied with the two's performance. He slowly turned his head and leaned against the wall, continuing to listen to the sounds inside.

Hearing Li Jing'an's blunt criticism, Li Yuetong immediately became anxious. She stood up from the sofa, still holding Shen Qiangwei under her armpits, and lifted the little girl up as well.

"Dad! I won't allow you to talk about Mr. Shen like that! You can't say it now, you definitely can't say it when we meet later, and you can't say it in the future! I would have starved to death long ago without Mr. Shen!"

Without Mr. Shen, how could I have come back to find you so quickly? Without Mr. Shen, those desperados would have broken in just now, and we wouldn't be able to meet!

And Mr. Shen...did not seduce her..."

Li Yuetong's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't continue. That's not how it was supposed to be! When did Mr. Shen ever deliberately seduce her? That's completely wrong.

It was clearly him... it was clearly him who insisted on... and then forcibly took me... *sobs*

Shen Qiangwei, who was being held in someone's arms, immediately became unhappy when she realized that someone was cursing her father.

Her little face was tense, and she grinned at Li Jing'an, showing off her tiny white teeth, and let out a low growl like a little tiger.

His little arms waved wildly, his little legs kicked incessantly, and he angrily stretched out his little hands, trying to scratch old Peter.

Su Mingyue also stood up, walked a few steps to Li Jing'an's side, grabbed his ear, and twisted it several times, her tone sharp and aggressive.

"Without the new son-in-law, there would be no family reunion. Don't use your old ideas to think about young people nowadays. When the new son-in-law comes in, you'd better shut up. Don't make everyone feel awkward or unhappy."

Li Jing'an's face was twisted in pain, his brows furrowed, and he gasped for breath. He immediately put on a fawning smile and begged for mercy.

"Baby, baby, be gentle, your ear's going to fall off! It's my fault, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on our new son-in-law because of that bastard Li Wei, hehe!"

"snort."

Su Mingyue snorted coldly, released her grip on his ear, and turned to give Li Yuetong a triumphant look, as if she had gotten everything under control.

Li Yuetong finally closed her pouting lips.

Su Mingyue chuckled inwardly. Her daughter had fallen for Mr. Shen; she hadn't been so protective of Li Wei before.

I'm really curious what kind of person could make such an outstanding daughter care so much.
