Gu Jinlan looked at Ye Hongyu defiantly.

"Mr. Ye, you are already forgetful at such a young age? I remember I said that my affairs have nothing to do with you and you are no longer qualified to control me."

No matter what Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue said before, she kept silent and didn't want to get into a meaningless argument with them.

But now she found that her concession would not only not make them calm down, but would make them even more aggressive.

Fang Yue scolded: "Gu Jinlan, after all, we raised you, we care about you! How can a girl stay out all night? You don't have a job! Wanwan is so busy at work every day, but she never stays out all night!"

Gu Jinlan sneered, "Don't say these high-sounding words. I know exactly what you are thinking."

Saying that she didn't come home at night was not out of parental concern for her children at all.

The sickly girl Song Youze is not dead yet. They are just worried that she will file for divorce after having another man outside.

Ye Hongyu slammed the table, "Now that you live here, I have the right to control you! I can't let you ruin the reputation of my Ye family outside!"

Gu Jinlan raised a sly smile at the corner of his lips, "Then I won't let you control it?"

Ye Hongyu was extremely angry. He stood up, strode to Gu Jinlan, and hit her in the face with his hand.

Gu Jinlan grabbed his wrist and pushed him away.

Normally she doesn't bother about trivial matters, but if she is really upset, she won't care even about the king!

Ye Hongyu almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Fang Yue and Ye Jingwan caught him in time.

"You... you Gu Jinlan, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

"Forget it, husband." Fang Yue advised, "She has become such a strange person now, she even dares to attack us. We can't control her!"

Gu Jinlan looked coldly at her parents whom she once loved deeply, and said with a chilling heart: "You thought I was weak and easy to bully before, but that was because I had you in my heart and respected you. But now, you are nothing in my heart."

"So don't mess with me. When I'm angry, I can't guarantee what I can do."

In order to save the company, Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue asked her to marry the short-lived Song Youze in exchange for a generous dowry.

At that time, she was thinking of their kindness in raising her and had intended to repay them in this way.

But they still took away her newborn baby as a bargaining chip to threaten her.

Her poor child died in their hands!

She didn't even see her child for the last time!

This time she returned to China, she just wanted to find out what happened that year.

She didn't believe what they said about the child dying of illness.

When she gave birth to him with great difficulty, the doctor clearly said that he was a very healthy baby.

How could he die of illness in just a few days?

Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue were shocked by Gu Jinlan's cold eyes and were speechless for a moment.

Ye Jingwan at the side said, "Lanlan, so this is what you think. I thought that you moved back home to live with me, which meant that you accepted me as your sister and would honor our parents together with me. You make me so sad!"

"Since you no longer have a father and a mother in your heart, then why did you come back? To get free food and shelter?"

Gu Jinlan didn't even want to look at Ye Jingwan, and said indifferently: "I came back to live here because of grandma. When grandma is better, I will leave naturally."

"Before that, don't even think about letting me go. The Ye family has a share of grandma, not just yours. Grandma has the right to let anyone live in this house."

The Ye couple had no special abilities and were dependent on their parents when they were young. They worked hard all day but could not achieve any results.

Before she started elementary school, her grandmother ran the company.

Later, they were reduced to having to sell their daughter to solve the company crisis, and it was all because of their incompetence that they squandered the empire that grandma had worked so hard to build.

So in the Ye family, as long as grandma lets her stay, no one else has the right to let her go!

"Who dares to drive Lanlan away?" Old Madam Ye walked over.

"Grandma." Ye Jingwan hurriedly went over and intimately held Madam Ye's hand, "No one wants to chase Lanlan away. We were just chatting. It was just a misunderstanding."

Madam Ye looked at Gu Jinlan and said, "Lanlan, if anyone bullies you, just tell grandma and she will take care of it for you."

Gu Jinlan smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma. No one will bully me."

Fang Yue asked with concern: "Mom, why did you get out of bed? Are you feeling better?"

Madam Ye said, "I'm almost well. The doctor said I need to exercise moderately and can't lie down all the time. I'm just about to go out for afternoon tea with my bestie."

"I was wondering why grandma was dressed so beautifully today. It turns out you were going out." Ye Jingwan spoke very sweetly and showed admiration in her eyes as she looked at Old Madam Ye.

When her eyes fell on Old Madam Ye's neck, she was startled, "Grandma, where did you get this emerald necklace?"

Fang Yue heard this and took a look. She immediately showed the same shocked expression as Ye Jingwan, "Mom, when did you buy it?"

Madam Ye wondered, "What's wrong? Is this necklace expensive?"

Ye Jingwan said excitedly: "Grandma, it's more than just expensive! The necklace you're wearing is from a jewelry brand that has just emerged in foreign countries in the past two years. Although it's a new brand, it's positioned as high-end luxury. Each style is limited worldwide. You can't buy it just because you have money! You also need a purchasing channel! Mom didn't buy a necklace of this brand that she liked last month!"

Fang Yue had already come close to Madam Ye, stretched out her hand to pull up the necklace and observe it, eyes full of envy, "Madam Wang also wears a necklace of this brand, but it's not as pretty as Mom's."

"Tsk, this color, this sheen."

"The style is also very special, dignified and elegant, not old-fashioned at all."

Old Madam Ye raised her chin a little proudly and looked at Gu Jinlan with a loving gaze.

Noticing her look, Fang Yue suddenly had a bad feeling and asked quickly, "Mom, do you want to give this necklace to Gu Jinlan?"

Her own daughter doesn’t even have such a good thing, so she can’t let this ungrateful person like Gu Jinlan get it for free!

Madam Ye said proudly: "This is what Lan Lan gave me."

Fang Yue and Ye Jingwan looked at each other in astonishment.

Then the smile on Ye Jingwan's face suddenly turned strange, "Grandma, I believe that Lanlan bought you this necklace out of filial piety, but... you should not wear it when you go out for afternoon tea today."

Madam Ye asked, "Why?"

Fang Yue glanced at the necklace. "How could she possibly afford something this expensive and in short supply?"

Although it looked very real, she just didn't believe that Gu Jinlan could afford it.

Last month, she used all her connections to buy it but still couldn't.

Gu Jinlan was about to speak when she heard Madam Ye say, "As long as it's given by Lanlan, I'll like fake ones too. I won't say anything more to you. I have to go out."

Old Madam Ye was afraid that Gu Jinlan would lose face and didn't want to continue this topic.

Ye Jingwan said enthusiastically: "Grandma, I'll take you there! I also need to go out and pick out a dress to prepare for the dinner party hosted by Old Lady Shi at Shi's house this weekend."
