Rong Wangzhi was really prepared in his heart, but before it was his turn to step up, a Maybach suddenly drove up slowly. Butler Li, with his sharp eyes, jogged over and opened the car door as soon as it stopped.

An elderly lady stepped out.

Her hair was silver, but she was full of energy, with a dignified demeanor. Her face had wrinkles, but it was well-maintained.

Seeing the scene, she frowned, “What’s going on here?”

Butler Li replied, “Someone’s here to scam us, saying her heart hurts.”

Nine words summed up the situation clearly.

The elderly lady raised an eyebrow.

Thinking back to her younger days, she had been through thick and thin, experiencing all sorts of ups and downs. During the toughest times, the Rong Family Old Residence was even sold off. Later, they made a comeback and redeemed the old residence.

There was nothing she hadn’t seen, nothing she couldn’t do.

The next second, she tossed her cane aside, strode forward, and lay down right next to Xiang Jinglin’s mom, exclaiming, “Oh dear, what are you doing, old lady, lying here and tripping me! I can’t take it, I fell so hard, is my leg broken? I’m 80 this year, with high blood pressure and heart disease! Oh, I can’t breathe!”

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and even Cheng Leyan couldn’t help but be in awe, clapping like a seal: Well done, perfectly timed, you came just at the right moment!!!

To deal with this kind of old lady, you have to use the old lady plus version!

But that wasn’t all, the elderly lady continued, “Is that my grandson in the wheelchair? Oh dear, my eldest grandson is in a vegetative state, and now he’s even more upset because of her! He’s so upset he’s sliding off the wheelchair!”

Yes, this elderly lady was none other than Rong Wangzhi’s grandma.

The grandson she was referring to was, of course, Rong Wangzhi.

A minute later, under the elderly lady’s command, the vegetative Rong Wangzhi was also placed on the ground.

Seeing the situation, Mama Rong gritted her teeth and lay down too, exclaiming “Oh dear, oh dear,” saying she was 55 this year, with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, and was now in pain all over from the shock.

Zhuozhuo, seeing his family members being so supportive, simply lay down as well. The little cub thought: I’m a tin man, I’m out of power, and instinctively covered his chest.

Four generations of the family joined forces, and the elderly lady was very satisfied with this spirit of unity and cooperation.

Hmph. Compete with me, will you?

She took a moment to glance at her grandson’s face, and the elderly lady was so shocked she almost had a heart attack: What the heck? Are you sick, putting makeup on Wangzhi, a vegetative person?

Why make his eyes so big, is he entering a beauty pageant?

Oh dear, I need to take a picture later.

Wait… wait, what’s that coming out of my grandson’s eyes!?

Is it tears?? Could it be tears!?

He’s crying! My vegetative grandson is actually crying!!!

Rong’s Grandma was heartbroken, shouting with full vigor, “You old hag, you made my vegetative grandson cry!! Just wait to pay up! If I don’t make you bankrupt, I’ll write my surname backwards from now on!”

By the way, the elderly lady’s surname was Wang.

(Rong Wangzhi, forced to lie on the ground as part of the scam team): …I was worried about Grandma’s health before, but now it seems she’s doing well, very spirited.

But Grandma, can you let me off?

If you don’t say anything, no one would even notice!

By now, Xiang’s Mom was completely dumbfounded.

Her usual tricks of throwing tantrums and rolling around were quite familiar to her, and they had always worked in the past. After all, “the weaker party is always right,” and once she latched onto someone, others often chose to back down. The wealthier the person, the more likely they were to back down.

Who would have thought she’d hit a brick wall today?

Looking at the opposing lineup, with an 80-year-old elder, an unconscious vegetative person, and even a 3-year-old child, not to mention…

Not to mention that Mama Rong is actually 55 this year! And she herself, though with white hair and an aged appearance, is actually only 54!

She’s a year younger!

What kind of scam is this!

Cheng Leyan was still taking pictures of her with his phone, saying, “Babies, yes, that’s right, this old lady tripped my 80-year-old grandma, made my vegetative husband cry, and even caused my 55-year-old mom and 3-year-old child to feel unwell.

“Sigh, we’ll all have to go to the hospital for check-ups later. We’ve called the police, why aren’t they here yet?”

What?

Are they really going to the hospital for check-ups later?

Xiang’s Mom was just a rural old lady, with limited knowledge, and now she was showing her fear.

She scrambled to her feet, glaring at Cheng Leyan with venomous eyes, “Just you wait! You rich people’s lives are precious, but us poor people’s lives aren’t worth much. Remember to check the calendar before you go out, or I’ll crash into your car anytime!”

Cheng Leyan said, “Old lady, what you just said is extortion, and when the police arrive, you can explain it to them. If you’re detained, your family won’t be able to take public exams for three generations.”

“And,” he said word by word, “I was going to let Xiang Jinglin off, but since you’re causing trouble today, fine, I’ll go to court tomorrow and sue your son for child abuse. We don’t lack money, I’ll hire the best lawyer, and your son can wait for a lawsuit.”

Xiang’s Mom was both angry and anxious, “What are you pretending for! My son already said that everything he did before was with your consent! You yourself were bad to the child, and now you’re pretending!”

Zhuozhuo, who was a bit timid at first, upon hearing this, immediately hugged Cheng Leyan’s neck, pressing his face tightly against Cheng Leyan’s.

The love of a parent for their child cannot be faked.

This kind of intimate, completely trusting posture from the child said it all, and Rong’s Grandma nodded secretly.

Xiang’s Mom gritted her teeth and decided to reveal some explosive news: “Cheng Leyan, what about you seducing my eldest son?”

She shouted at Mama Rong and Rong’s Grandma, “Do you think this Cheng Leyan is a good person? You don’t know, do you? The money he earns here is all spent on my eldest son! In front of my son, he’s like a dog, and you still treat him like a treasure!”

At this point, her voice carried a sense of pleasure and malice.

But she didn’t expect Mama Rong to roll her eyes, “We all know about this, okay.”

Rong’s Grandma, who had just learned about it: “…Yes, our whole family has known for a long time! What, are you proud that your son is a gigolo?”

Mama Rong: “Like mother, like son. Maybe it’s a family tradition, was his dad like this too, a legacy of being a gigolo.”

Rong’s Grandma: “Exactly, exactly.”

The mother-in-law duo left Xiang’s Mom speechless.

Cheng Leyan added fuel to the fire, “Old lady, let me be frank, all my money went to your eldest son, so if you want it from me, there’s none. If you have the guts, ask him for it.”

Xiang’s Mom was stunned, suddenly realizing something, and was so angry her eyes turned red, “Did Xiang Jingzhou tell you to do this? Did he mess up your job too? That bastard, not caring for his mother or brother, and now he’s eyeing his brother’s money…”

A string of curses followed.

The curses were extremely vulgar.

Cheng Leyan let her curse, recording everything, and finally said, “Old lady, look at what you’re wearing, it seems your eldest son didn’t spend a penny of the money he got from me on you. You raised him with all your effort, and he didn’t even show a bit of filial piety to his old mother?”

A direct hit to the sore spot.

Xiang’s Mom’s face turned red and white, and this time she was genuinely so angry her chest hurt.

She clutched her chest, breathing heavily, and at that moment, the police arrived.

Butler Li explained the situation to the police and mentioned that there was surveillance footage of the whole incident. The police suggested going back to the station for mediation, but Xiang’s Mom, feeling guilty, refused to go to the police station and didn’t mention anything about wanting her salary back, eventually leaving in disgrace.

Butler Li took the surveillance footage and went with the police to make a statement, and the matter was finally settled.

Mama Rong helped the elderly lady back inside, and as soon as they sat down, the elderly lady asked, “What was that ‘our whole family knows’ about? Nian Nian, did the daughter-in-law you found really take money to support a gigolo?”

She looked at Cheng Leyan with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Nian Nian” was Mama Rong’s nickname. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a particularly good relationship, and Mama Rong said directly, “Mom, who hasn’t loved a few scumbags when they were young? Cheng Leyan already said he’s seen the light, completely given up on the scumbag, and won’t do it again. It’s just a little money, don’t worry about it.”

Rong’s Grandma’s voice was stern, “Money isn’t the issue, but since he’s Wangzhi’s partner, and you even got them a marriage certificate, he’s Wangzhi’s legitimate partner, we should look at his character, not just his horoscope.”

Rong Wangzhi, settled in the wheelchair nearby, felt very complicated at this moment.

He had a rough idea about the family tutor being kicked out for abusing Zhuozhuo, but the things Xiang’s Mom just said, like “seducing my son,” “spending money on my son,” “acting like a dog in front of my son,” made him feel very—uncomfortable.

Is Cheng Leyan still pursuing someone else?

If so, why did Mom want him to marry me?

Was he forced?

Mom said “Cheng Leyan has completely given up,” does that mean Cheng Leyan has given up on that person?

If Cheng Leyan loved someone else so much, what happened to make him completely give up?

Is he really over it?

A series of questions popped up. He didn’t know where the strong sense of discomfort came from, but just…

He couldn’t put his finger on it.

This matter made him inexplicably irritable.

Hmm, Grandma is right to look at the bigger picture, it’s indeed important to look at character.

Then he heard Cheng Leyan say with a smile, “Grandma, are you tired from the car ride? I learned massage, let me give you a double-click.”

Rong’s Grandma was skeptical, “Really? You know how to massage?”

Two minutes later, Rong’s Grandma was all smiles, happily saying, “Xiao Cheng, I think you have a great character! Very good!”

Rong Wangzhi: ……………

Grandma, aren’t you being a bit too perfunctory!

Rong Wangzhi actually hoped Grandma would continue to ask, like asking about the adulterer—oh no, I mean, asking about Cheng Leyan’s past love interest, what the situation was, and what it is now.

But Grandma seemed to be so immersed in the massage that she didn’t bring it up again, leaving only Rong Wangzhi still pondering over it.

Of course, he definitely wasn’t concerned about any adulterer or anything, he wasn’t concerned at all, not even a little bit.

But just…

What’s the situation? Grandma, don’t you really want to ask more? Mom, don’t you really want to say more?

He thought so hard that even 250 heard it, and the system couldn’t help but curiously ask: [Wow, host, I rarely hear your inner thoughts, I was wondering if you learned brain occlusion. But why are you so concerned about the ‘adulterer’? Really concerned, why?]

Rong Wangzhi: […Mute.]
