nChen Meiyu and the others came unceremoniously. When they left, they were dragged out by the guards. They insulted He Youran wantonly, and their sharp voices could still be heard when they were far away.

n“Ha, you’ve become a Phoenix on a branch. You don’t even acknowledge your own parents anymore,” Chen Man said coldly as she crossed her arms.

n“When a person has money, you look at her heart. The Lu family married such an unfaithful and unfilial woman. In the future, they can’t help but let people gossip about them,” Zhao Jin echoed.

n“But I heard that He Youran’s parents didn’t treat her well.”

nAfter listening to He Youran’s song, people didn’t have such a bad impression of her anymore. So, they put in a good word for He Youran.

n“If He Youran wasn’t wrong, why didn’t her parents like her?” Chen Man asked.

n“I heard that her father was a second wife. Isn’t that what the saying goes? With a stepmother, you have a stepfather…”

n“But no matter how bad they were to her, her parents came to find her personally. They spoke nicely to her. She can’t kick them out right, right?”

nEveryone spoke one after another.

nSeeing that the situation wasn’t right, Old Madam Lu hurriedly got someone to dismiss the crowd. Although some people still wanted to hear the gossip, the order to leave had already been given, so they couldn’t shamelessly stay and not leave.

nAfter all, there was no wall that couldn’t let the wind out. There were some things that they could still find out if they wanted to.

nSo, by the time He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo returned, the courtyard was almost completely cleared.

nHe Youran walked over to old madam Lu and said apologetically,

n“Grandma, I’m sorry. It was such a nice party, but I ruined it…”

n“Silly child, what are you talking about?” Old Madam Lu felt sorry for her, but it was too late. “Qingzhuo told me about your parents. They went too far. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t forgive them without a grudge.”

nOld Madam Lu patted her hand and comforted her:

n“Youran, don’t worry. With Qingzhuo around, they won’t dare to do anything. Besides…”

nOld Madam Lu’s gaze turned sharp, and her kind face carried the dignity of a superior.

n“A puny Rong city family won’t be able to shake our Lu family!”

n“Okay.” Lu Qingzhuo also comforted He Youran. “Youran, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect you.”

n“Alright, it’s been a busy day. You guys are tired. Let’s go back.”

nOld Madam Lu began to chase them away.

nCompared to the He family in Rong City, in her heart, it was more important for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law to nurture their relationship as soon as possible.

nToday, she was too busy and, there were a lot of things to do. Lu Qingzhuo and He Youran didn’t eat much either. She had already gotten someone to arrange for nourishing soups. When they returned home, they should be able to eat it.

nMadam Lu’s heart bloomed with joy as she thought about He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo.

n“By the way, Shouxin’s room is ready. He’s going to sleep by himself from today onwards.”

nYes, yes. Although it was a little unfair to her adorable great-grandson, it was better for him to leave his mother’s embrace early!

nHe Youran and Lu Qingzhuo couldn’t argue with Madam Lu, so they could only return to the Lu residence first.

nJust as they reached the entrance of the hotel and were about to take a ride, Lu Qingzhuo’s phone rang.

nIt was butler Chen from the Lu family’s ancestral residence.

nLu Qingzhuo picked up the call. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, Butler Chen’s anxious voice came through the receiver

n“Eldest young master! Not good, the young master is…”

nLu Qingzhuo’s expression changed. He quickly carried old madam Lu and went elsewhere to pick up the call.

n“Uncle Chen, what happened to Qingliu? !”

n“Young master’s condition isn’t very good. He even stopped breathing just now! Elder Young Master, please come back quickly –“
