Jiang Nan Fang didn't know who told her what, or where such immense anger came from.
She was speechless at being scolded but could only evade the brunt of it.
"I didn't mean it that way. I was simply following your wishes; if you wanted me to leave, I left."
"Madam Zhan, we haven't interacted much. I don't know why you harbor such strong malice towards me. But since you're here today, I might as well tell you the truth."
"Zhan Bei Jue and I are not in the relationship you imagine, nor do I wish to return to be Madam Zhan. If that's what you're worried about, there's no need."
"You have nothing to do with him, and you don't want to be Madam Zhan anymore? Then why are you living in the house he arranged with your child?"
Madam Zhan sneered, "Are you taking me for a three-year-old and insulting my intelligence, Jiang Nan Fang?"
"..."
Nothing she said worked. She was completely unreasonable.
Jiang Nan Fang was also getting annoyed.
"Since you don't believe my explanation, let's stop wasting words. If you have any doubts, go ask Zhan Bei Jue. I have other matters to attend to. I'm sorry, but I can't invite you in for a visit."
With that, she prepared to close the door again.
Madam Zhan suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar.
"If it weren't for your sudden appearance, would A Jue have become so estranged from me regarding our mother-son relationship?"
"Knowing that he's avoiding me because of you, you still tell me to go talk to him. Are you indirectly showing off to me?"
In any case, she had already made up her mind that Jiang Nan Fang was a bad person.
No matter what she said, she wouldn't believe it, and there was no point in continuing the conversation.
Jiang Nan Fang looked at her with her last shred of patience.
"I have never instigated trouble in your mother-son relationship, nor do I wish to enter the Zhan family again. There is none of the sordidness you imagine. I swear."
"I'll keep my word and move out tomorrow. If you're not at ease, you can send someone to check tomorrow."
This attitude was more acceptable.
It would have been better if she had been sensible earlier.
Madam Zhan pushed her back and let go.
"You'd better keep your word and don't think of playing tricks on me. I've seen plenty of despicable people like you who put on a front and act differently behind your back."
"I will definitely send people to keep an eye on you from now on. If you dare to play any tricks, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."
With that, she finally seemed satisfied and gestured for the security guards behind her to move forward.
"Go in and bring out my grandson and granddaughter. I absolutely cannot let the Zhan family's bloodline fall into the hands of such a woman."
"Be careful, the children are delicate. Don't hurt them."
Jiang Nan Fang hadn't expected Madam Zhan to be so shameless.
She had sworn never to step foot in the Zhan family again, never to get involved with Zhan Bei Jue, and was moving out tomorrow, yet Madam Zhan still wanted to snatch the children?
I, Jiang Nan Fang, am the legal primary guardian of the children. What right does a grandmother have to snatch them from their mother?
"Madam Zhan!" Feeling Jing Yu hug her from behind, Jiang Nan Fang's face immediately darkened.
At this moment, she was like a mother hen facing a weasel, full of fighting spirit.
"The children are mine and Zhan Bei Jue's. You probably don't have the right to interfere with who they go with."
"Furthermore, this house belongs to Zhan Bei Jue, not you. You have no right to enter freely."
"The children are ill recently. Please do not trespass and frighten them. I also don't want to fall out with you completely."
Oh.
Just moments ago, she was acting so noble, repeatedly saying she wouldn't have anything to do with Zhan Bei Jue.
Now, seeing that she was about to take away Zhan Bei Jue's beloved children, and realizing she had no trump card, she was panicking? Her true colors were showing?
Madam Zhan sneered, "You think you're fit to raise children for the Zhan family? Don't dream."
"Move aside. Don't think I don't know what you're plotting in your heart. You say all the nice things to my face and then use the children to threaten A Jue?"
"You ignorant fool, I see through all your schemes. You don't appreciate kindness, and it seems I've been too polite to you!"
With that, she glanced back at the people behind her.
"What are you standing around for? Didn't you hear me? Go bring out my grandson and granddaughter, and throw her out!"
There were at least eight bodyguards, all over 1.85 meters tall and solidly built.
Even without martial arts skills, fighting eight people would be enough for Jiang Nan Fang to handle.
Jing Yu, through the crack in the door, quickly analyzed the outcome of the confrontation. Before everyone entered, he quickly slipped away from Jiang Nan Fang, went to Tian Tian's room, locked the door, and called Zhan Bei Jue for help.
"Daddy, something bad happened! Grandma brought a group of people to bully Mommy, and she said she's going to throw her out and take me and my sister away!"
"Daddy, please come back quickly and save us!"
After he finished the call, the sounds of a fierce struggle could already be heard from outside the door.
Jing Yu wanted to stay in the room to protect his sister, to prevent them from barging in and snatching her. At the same time, he was worried about Mommy being bullied alone outside.
Torn and anxious, he paced around the room like a mature adult. Soon, his wicked grandmother's voice echoed again.
"A few of them can deal with her. You two, come here!"
"The children must be in the room. Find them! Even if you have to tear down the door, you must take them away today!"
The next second, the door began to shake violently as someone grabbed the doorknob.
"The door is locked from the inside. Move aside, I'll kick it open!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Amidst the earth-shattering kicks at the door, Jiang Nan Fang's angry voice also came through.
"Stop! Don't kick anymore! The child is really unwell recently; she just had surgery! Whoever the hell dares to touch my child, I'll kill them today. Everyone, stop!"
However, no one paid her any attention. Amidst the clatter of fighting, plaster dust rained down from above the door frame.
Soon, a foot broke through the wooden door.
Jing Yu grabbed his sister's thermos cup and, with all his might, struck at the invading foot. However, the kicking continued.
Watching the hole in the door grow larger, his wicked grandmother finally appeared before them.
"It's her. That's my granddaughter. You, carry her out!"
Jing Yu lunged forward, tightly gripping Madam Zhan's wrist.
"Don't touch my sister, Grandma! I'm begging you! Sister is very sick! If you touch her, she might die. I'm begging you..."
Madam Zhan waved her glittering, sharp fingernails and leaned down to caress Jing Yu "lovingly."
"Look what that bad woman has taught you. Rui Rui, I am your real grandmother. How could I harm you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, come back with Grandma..."
Tian Tian was picked up lightly and carried out like a toy doll.
Jiang Nan Fang, after knocking down the last big man, turned around and saw her fragile daughter being carried out. She almost choked on her breath, unable to spit it out.
"You... let go of my daughter, let go! Quickly! Otherwise, I'll fight you!"
"How dare you! What do you think you are? Ordering my people around, you're rebelling!"
Madam Zhan walked out, took two steps towards the man, and roughly snatched Tian Tian into her arms.
