Lan Yu Xi lowered her eyes, concealing the emotion within. It was no wonder the old woman had been in a coma for so long; it turned out Old Nan had been behind it.
Though he appeared indifferent, he had secretly helped her a great deal.
Without the old woman causing trouble, her work was indeed much easier.
However, Old Nan likely didn't realize she had never feared the old woman. She had tolerated her before because she feared making things difficult for Nan Xiao. Now, she feared nothing!
"Beep beep—"
Just then, Zhao Zhao's tablet emitted an alarm.
Zhao Zhao furrowed his small brows and picked up the tablet. After a few quick taps, his little face darkened.
The little fellow handed the tablet to his mother, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Nan Zhen Ting, "You asked my mother to go easy on them, but they have no intention of letting my mother off!"
Nan Zhen Ting was taken aback by the little one's questioning.
"What is it?" The old man leaned in to look at the tablet in Lan Yu Xi's hands.
Lan Yu Xi's fingers danced rapidly across the screen. After she finished operating, she spoke calmly, "An Ran has revealed online that I am a thief and stole her aunt's heirloom."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhen Ting slapped the armrest of the sofa, "She's gone too far! Hurry and record a video, I'll be your witness."
Lan Yu Xi glanced at him with amusement, "If you testify for me, aren't you afraid your wife will cause trouble for you when she wakes up?"
"She dares!"
"Forget it, I won't cause you any more trouble. I've already resolved it."
"Resolved it? How did you resolve it?" Nan Zhen Ting asked with concern.
"An Zi Ling brought An Ran and Su Ya here this morning. I just gave her a little scare, and she admitted it herself," Lan Yu Xi said, pointing to the crystal chandelier above her head. "Then I recorded it."
Mu Mu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Nan Zhen Ting present, he swallowed it back.
Zhao Zhao's lips curved upwards as he looked at his mother. She had said she wouldn't be bullied again, and she had done it!
An Family Villa.
An Ran was still happily anticipating the netizens going after Lan Yu Xi. However, less than a minute after the news was released, the tide of public opinion had turned.
She looked at the unflattering video of herself and the scolding from countless netizens, she nearly fainted from anger.
This little b*tch was too malicious; she had actually recorded a video!
After watching the video, An Zi Ling slapped his wife without a word.
Madam An, struck, looked at her husband in disbelief.
"You hit me? An Zi Ling, do you have any heart! You abandoned us, your wife and daughter, for five or six years, and I was the only one taking care of your sick father… I'll fight you!"
As Madam An spoke, she lunged forward.
An Zi Ling kicked her in the stomach, "How dare you have the face to fight me! Look at the daughter you've raised, she has no sense of the bigger picture and offended the wrong person, none other than Lan Yu Xi! Your niece is still counting on her to save her life. If you want Su Ya to die, then keep making a scene!"
Madam An staggered to her feet and burst into tears upon hearing her husband's words.
An Zi Ling, looking impatient, scowled and yelled, "What are you crying for! Shut up! Get ready, we're going to Nan Xiao's."
Madam An's eyes instantly cleared. She rushed into the bathroom.
An Zi Ling, hands on his hips, glanced at his daughter's room on the second floor. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't help but shout upwards, "An Ran, get down here!"
Upon hearing her father's angry roar, An Ran's body trembled uncontrollably.
Madam An had only washed her face. Seeing her husband about to deal with their daughter, she quickly ran out, "Zi Ling, I'm ready, let's go to Nan Xiao's quickly."
An Zi Ling gave her a look of disdain and turned to leave.
In the car, An Zi Ling called a subordinate and told him to delete the video as soon as possible.
After all, An Ran was his daughter, and he couldn't abandon her.
However, by the time he arrived at Sheng Shi Jiang Nan, the post not only hadn't been taken down but had actually become a trending topic.
This made him so angry that his face turned green, and he began to curse.
The subordinate stammered, "That post was made by a top hacker, 'blue,' we can't delete posts he made."
"Then find a hacker to delete it!"
"'blue' made the post, no hacker dares to delete it. Just as An Zi Ling was about to curse again, the subordinate quickly said, "Why don't you try Nan Xiang Bei, Mr. Nan's subordinate? In the whole of China, if he can't do it, no one can."
An Zi Ling cursed and hung up the phone. He never imagined that Lan Yu Xi knew the top hacker 'blue.'
That dead girl An Ran had run into a formidable opponent!
When Nan Xiao returned, he saw An Zi Ling arguing with the security guards.
He initially intended to ignore him, but seeing him about to shove a security guard, he had no choice but to open the car door and get out.
"I am Nan Xiao's uncle, why can't I go in…" An Zi Ling was shouting when a large hand firmly gripped his arm.
"Let go of me, you b*stard!"
As An Zi Ling prepared to shake off the hand, he caught sight of Nan Xiao and immediately put on a smile.
"Nan Xiao, you're back!"
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "What are you here for?"
"I have something very important to tell you. Let's go inside and talk."
Nan Xiao expressionlessly released his arm and turned to walk across the street.
An Zi Ling, confused, followed, "Nan Xiao, where are you going?"
"We'll talk at the teahouse across the street."
An Zi Ling grudgingly glanced at the residential complex, then shouted to his wife, who was still standing by, "What are you waiting for, hurry up!"
Madam An pursed her lips and quickly caught up.
She had never had children with An Zi Ling in her life, and even An Ran was adopted. An Zi Ling disliked her, so she dared not resist or complain. However, she harbored much resentment towards Nan Xiao, a junior. They were at their doorstep, yet they weren't allowed in, clearly not treating them as family.
Nan Xiao, with a stern face, led the couple to a private room on the second floor.
After the waiter served the tea, An Zi Ling said anxiously, "Nan Xiao, An Ran is ignorant and has offended Lan Yu Xi. There's all sorts of talk online, it's too embarrassing for the An family. Can you help deal with it?"
Nan Xiao said indifferently, "No one can delete posts made by 'blue'."
Madam An shot him an unhappy look, "You haven't even tried, how do you know it can't be deleted? If my sister hadn't fallen ill, she wouldn't stand by and watch people slander the An family."
Nan Xiao raised his eyelids and swept her with a cold glance, "Fifth Madam An, who initiated this matter? Is it others slandering your An family, or is your An family slandering others?"
Madam An trembled all over from his gaze and instantly shrank back into a timid quail.
An Zi Ling slapped the table, "Nan Xiao, are you siding with an outsider over your cousin? Fine! I'll go to the hospital later and tell your mother everything you said and did. Maybe she'll wake up in a fit of anger!"
