When Qin Yiren first chose Mo City, she did not recall that it was Xu Wenyin’s hometown.

At that time, when Mother Qin investigated Xu Wenyin and her daughter, Qin Yiren rebutted her after just a few words, and she did not take note of this relatively unimportant piece of information.

But after settling on Mo City, Qin Yiren once had someone prepare a travel itinerary, listing out some fun places in Mo City and sharing it with the group for everyone to choose from.

Xu Wenyin spoke a few words at that time.

Even though she hadn’t ‘gone back’ in several years, there were some places, like certain streets and alleys, that sounded like they were meant to deceive outsiders.

Just thinking about it wasn’t fun at all, and even if they went, it would just be crowded with people.

Qin Yiren seemed to sense something from Xu Wenyin’s familiarity. Since they were already discussing it, she blurted out without much thought, “Wenyin, you seem quite familiar with Mo City. Have you been there before?”

Xu Wenyin had no intention of concealing anything. Compared to real humans, the system ultimately lacked a few traces of human’s inherent ‘sense of shame’ and didn’t have the concept of ‘family matters shouldn’t be aired in public’.

“Oh, it’s my hometown. I grew up in Mo City.”

The indifferent tone could make one think that Xu Wenyin was just casually mentioning her hometown and that it was no big deal.

However, there was a momentary stiffness in Qin Yiren’s smile.

It’s worth noting that as long as it didn’t involve real secrets, Xu Wenyin always answered Qin Yiren’s questions.

So, during a previous occasion when Qin Yiren cautiously inquired about Xu Wenyin’s family, she also learned about Xu Wenyin’s past, understanding how she had lived back then.

To be honest, in such an environment, Xu Wenyin’s ability to get into a prestigious university and maintain such confidence and cheerfulness was something even Qin Yiren couldn’t help but admire.

Therefore, Qin Yiren naturally looked down upon and disliked Xu Wenyin’s relatives as well.

After that conversation, they never brought up the topic again. However, Qin Yiren truly hadn’t expected that the place she casually chose would turn out to be Xu Wenyin’s hometown.

Regardless of whether Xu Wenyin genuinely doesn’t mind, what if returning to her hometown stirred up old emotions and made her upset?

Just when Qin Yiren was considering whether to choose another place, Xu Wenyin herself seemed completely unconcerned.

Not to mention that everyone had already settled on Mo City, so changing it again would be troublesome.

Moreover, Mo City is so big that the chances of encountering those relatives are very low.

And even if they do happen to encounter them, so what? Xu Wenyin hadn’t done anything wrong or owed them anything.

Her ‘coming back to life’ had been officially certified, and no matter how anyone investigated, her body was unmistakably Xu Wenyin’s. So, what’s there to be afraid of?

Since Xu Wenyin herself said so, Qin Yiren ultimately didn’t change the location. However, in her heart, she thought that if they did encounter those relatives, she wouldn’t mind helping her friend seek justice.

Unexpectedly, they really come knocking on the door?

The adults heard Xu Youyou’s voice.

Originally, they thought he might be a suspicious human trafficker and were about to call the police when Xu Youyou tugged at Qin Yiren’s sleeve and whispered softly, “Aunt, that person is bad! Don’t go near bad people.”

Qin Yiren was taken aback. “Youyou, have you seen him before?”

Xu Youyou nodded. “I saw him here yesterday too. Mom said he’s a bad person who bullied her, a super bad person!”

As for the complex ‘Mom’s Dad’s Older Brother’ relationship, Xu Youyou truly couldn’t remember.

Because Liu Miaomiao was right there, Xu Youyou didn’t repeat Xu Wenyin’s words verbatim— that he’s as bad as Liu Miaomiao’s grandmother.

But this reaction immediately led Qin Yiren to guess who the middle-aged man in front of her was. He was either the eldest uncle or the youngest uncle.

No matter which one, neither of them was a good person.

Heh, he actually delivered himself to her door?

Qin Yiren made a gesture, and the three bodyguards who were already itching to come out from their hidden positions appeared instantly.

Then, Qin Yiren turned to look at the three other guardians present, but her words were primarily directed at Elder Feng, “You don’t have to worry, just remain seated. I know that guy. He bullied Wenyin back then, forcing her to leave Mo City. Coming here now, he surely doesn’t have good intentions.”

“I’ll go see him first. You all just stay here with the children.”

To her surprise, Mother Liu and Mother Qian both shook their heads in unison. “Let’s go together. I want to see what kind of person he is!”

Almost every family had a few problematic relatives. Now, even though Xu Wenyin wasn’t there, Xu Youyou was. They wouldn’t just let things slide.

In Xu Youyou’s mind, Xu Wenyin was even more excited. 〖He actually dare to come? Go, Yiyi, beat up the bad guy!〗

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with asking Qin Yiren for help with this matter. The system has learned many things from humans, but it hasn’t learned fake politeness.

She couldn’t show herself right now; otherwise, she would have taken care of it herself already.

Anyone who dared to harass Youyou, especially when she’s not around, should be sent straight to hell!

Qin Yiren would help Xu Wenyin this time, and Xu Wenyin would definitely return the favor next time.

She’s just that kind of system, clear about debts and grudges!

From the time she had borrowed Xu Wenyin’s identity, she used to be too lazy to manage these relatives as she was far away in Jiang City, but now that she had such a great opportunity, she would definitely make sure to step on them firmly!

As Eldest Uncle Xu desperately tried to explain that he wasn’t a human trafficker, he suddenly saw the crowd automatically parting to make way. He thought it might be the police, but to his surprise, the person leading the way was a beautiful woman who looked like a movie star.

However, the three imposing men standing behind her made Eldest Uncle Xu not dare to show any signs of defiance.

“Are you the one trying to abduct our children?”

Qin Yiren didn’t care whether this person was a real human trafficker or not; if she said he was, then he was!

He couldn’t admit to this accusation!

Eldest Uncle Xu repeatedly bent over and waved his hands. “Madam, you’ve got it wrong. I’m just here to find someone, the mother of the little girl behind you. I’m her uncle!”

As he spoke, he sighed, “My niece suddenly disappeared a few years ago. I finally managed to see her yesterday, but she left without a word. As her uncle, I’m really worried sick!”

“You see, with both her parents gone and suddenly having a daughter, with no man in sight, how can I not worry?”

Qin Yiren sneered inwardly at his words.

Others might think that Xu Wenyin had run away with a man, only to be abandoned and then unwilling to see her relatives again.

This uncle was quite ‘smart’; he immediately positioned himself as a good relative.

Since Xu Wenyin wasn’t there at the moment, if they weren’t familiar with her, they might have actually believed him.

That’s right, that’s exactly what Eldest Uncle Xu was thinking.

It seemed like these people knew Xu Wenyin, but the nature of their relationship was unclear. However, Eldest Uncle Xu also understands his niece’s stubborn temperament.

Using a more fashionable term, one could say she had a strong sense of pride.

She would absolutely never disclose family matters to outsiders, especially not to this group of obviously wealthy people.

Even if he said all that, could Xu Wenyin refute it afterward?

Even if she were willing to air her dirty laundry, these ladies would definitely look down on Xu Wenyin. There’s no need to worry about them siding with Xu Wenyin to claim the house.

It must be said that in the eyes of many, Eldest Uncle Xu might not be as smart or as tactful as Youngest Uncle Xu, but in certain situations, he could still show some cunning.

Sure enough, the crowd that was just indignant and ready to send the human trafficker to the police station immediately lost their momentum. They simultaneously took a few steps back and started discussing in whispers.

Unfortunately for Eldest Uncle Xu, he encountered Qin Yiren, and the Xu Wenyin he knew wasn’t the same as the present Xu Wenyin.

No matter how well he plans, the result still depends on the other party.

“You’re lying!” Xu Youyou exclaimed loudly. “You’re a bad person! A bad person who bullies my Mom!”

Xu Youyou didn’t fully understand Eldest Uncle Xu’s cryptic and insinuating words, but she could hear the angry breaths of Xu Wenyin in her mind.

Her mother was the one in the right; it’s the bad person who’s wrong!

“Youyou,” Qin Yiren bent down and gently patted Xu Youyou’s head. “Let Aunt handle this, okay? Don’t worry, Youyou.”

In the meantime, Lu Chenjun had already taken Xu Youyou’s right hand and led her backward. “Don’t worry, my Mom will handle it.”

In this regard, Lu Chenjun still had a lot of trust in his mother.

Hearing their words, Xu Youyou stopped speaking. She just glared angrily at Eldest Uncle Xu with her big eyes.

Bad guy! Big bad guy!

“Oh? Why is the version I heard different?” Qin Yiren took a step forward and sneered, adding a few more points to her already intimidating aura. “How come I heard that you lot forcefully took over the property left to Wenyin by her parents and drove her away?”

“Back then, Wenyin was just a student, working hard outside to support herself. Where were you, this group of relatives, then? What? Now you’re pretending to be good people?”

Xu Wenyin never mentioned anything about the property to Qin Yiren, because she herself had ‘forgotten’ about it!

Xu Wenyin didn’t delve deep into those memories at the time, and she didn’t even know then that human parents would leave properties to their children.

Now, with Qin Yiren’s words prompting her to retrieve those memories from the recycle bin, Xu Wenyin was surprised to discover that the Xu parents indeed had a house!

Moreover, under the arrangements of Grandpa and Grandma Xu, it had already been transferred to Xu Wenyin’s name!

It seemed that the elderly couple had long known the true nature of their other two sons and were worried that their poor granddaughter would suffer after their death, so they made preparations in advance.

Even if Xu Wenyin had bought countless houses, she wouldn’t think it was bad to have one more.

Otherwise, Xu Wenyin would rather blow up the house herself rather than leave it to these relatives!

Just as Xu Wenyin was contemplating how to get the house back, the formidable Qin Yiren had already made another move.

Even though Xu Wenyin didn’t tell her about the house, based on Qin Yiren’s years of experience, she could guess why the relatives who had never liked Xu Wenyin would proactively seek Xu Wenyin out.

It must be about money!

Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Yiren’s words, Eldest Uncle Xu who wasn’t a good actor, immediately changed his expression.

“What do you mean by ‘forcefully taking over property’? That is the house we three brothers bought together back then!”

That was a bit shameless. Grandpa Xu was lucky back then when the old house was demolished, and he bought four houses with the compensation money. Each of the three sons got one, and he and his wife lived in one.

After Grandpa and Grandma Xu passed away, their house naturally fell into the hands of the two brothers. Now, even the one that originally belonged to Father Xu was being claimed as a property bought together, just to deceive those who don’t understand the real situation.

At least Qin Yiren definitely didn’t believe it.

With their character, would they buy a house with another person?

The chances of red rain falling from the sky were higher than that possibility.

Just then, while they were talking, the police from the local station also arrived.

“Where’s the human trafficker? Who’s the human trafficker?!”

Eldest Uncle Xu quickly raised his hand and said, “Officers, it’s all a misunderstanding!” He quickly explained the situation and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave first.

Xu Wenyin still hadn’t shown up, so there was no point in staying there. It would be better to find another opportunity next time.

It would be best if Xu Wenyin heard about this incident and voluntarily gave up. That way, they could still maintain good relations, but if not, Xu Wenyin wouldn’t want to lose the trust of these ladies, would she?

From the looks of them, one could tell they lived in the villa area near this park.

If Xu Wenyin really pushed Eldest Uncle Xu and the others, they would go to that villa area with loudspeakers and protest. These wealthy people care a lot about their reputation.

Seeing the situation, Qin Yiren couldn’t help but smirk. She could pretty much guess Eldest Uncle Xu’s intentions.

There’s no need to argue with such people in public. When dealing with such extreme relatives, showing weakness and backing down was the most useless approach.

Xu Wenyin and Xu Youyou wouldn’t be able to argue with these people on their own, but Miss Qin didn’t have such worries.

She’s always been protective of her people. She let it go before since she hadn’t encountered them, but now that she had, Xu Wenyin’s house was Xu Wenyin’s.

No one should even think about taking it away!

Qin Yiren would give instructions to the butler later. He would naturally know what to do.

She picked up Xu Youyou and gently stroked her soft hair. “Don’t be afraid, Youyou. Aunt will help your Mom deal with these people properly~”

How about she invite a few big brothers from the streets to pay a visit to this group of troublemakers?

Do they think all wealthy people were upright? Once they decided to mess with someone, their methods were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In less than half a month, Qin Yiren dared to guarantee that these relatives would obediently return the house to Xu Wenyin.

As for how Xu Wenyin wanted to deal with the property, it’s up to her.

“Mmm, Youyou believes Aunt~” Xu Youyou nodded vigorously.

Bad people who bully her mother would be punished!

Mother Liu and Mother Qian exchanged a glance. Since Qin Yiren was already taking action, they would just wait quietly for the good news.

In their eyes, such petty individuals couldn’t stir up any waves at all.

It’s not worth ruining one’s good mood for this kind of guy.

So, in Xu Youyou’s mind, Xu Wenyin saw Qin Yiren instructing the butler after returning to the villa, “Wenyin has two relatives who are out of control. They’ve taken over her parents’ house. Butler Wang, please take care of it.”

Immediately, Butler Wang put on a reassuring expression and said, “Miss, don’t worry, I will handle it.”

As for the specific details of how he would do it, Butler Wang didn’t need to say, and Qin Yiren wasn’t interested in knowing either. She just needed to know the result.

“Amazing.”

〖Amazing.〗

Xu Youyou and Xu Wenyin spoke at the same time.

It’s just that one was mumbling softly while the other was talking inside the first one’s head.

But their admiration was directed towards the same person.

Qin Yiren!

She’s really impressive!

Wasn’t it cool that she didn’t have to do anything, just give an order and someone takes care of it?

Xu Wenyin thought of her current situation. Wouldn’t it be convenient to have a few of these helpers? She wouldn’t need to inquire about things herself when buying a house. She could just sign the final contract.

Even better if they were like Zhao Tao, who could help the boss make money!

Wasn’t it possible to hire such talented individuals with money? She also wanted to hire a few!

“Youyou can be just as amazing in the future.” Qin Yiren said, seeing the admiring look in Xu Youyou’s eyes. She bent down and gently pinched Xu Youyou’s nose with a smile. “There are things we don’t need to do ourselves. As long as we’re powerful enough, there will be many people eager to help us.”

When saying that, Qin Yiren also glanced at Lu Chenjun next to Xu Youyou.

She had also learned something from Xu Wenyin’s usual interactions with Xu Youyou. Don’t always treat children like children. Sometimes they understand more than adults think.

So, some aspects of education can be carried out in daily life.

“Youyou understand.” Sure enough, the inspired Xu Youyou clenched her little fist and made a cheering gesture. “In the future, Youyou will be as awesome as Aunt!”

Earn lots and lots of money! Protect her mother from being bullied by bad people!

At that moment, Xu Youyou set her future goal.

To become powerful, very powerful!

Then no one can bully them anymore!

———pr

The afternoon trip to the zoo went smoothly. When the children saw some cute and fierce animals, their expressions were as funny as could be.

“Wow——!”

“Ooh——!”

“Huh——!”

The exclamations echoed one after another, and a little monkey was even startled by a few children and quickly ran away!

“I miss Niannian!” Xu Youyou couldn’t help but mutter when she saw the big tiger in the zoo.

Xu Wenyin had already entrusted Niannian to a high-end pet hospital before she sent Xu Youyou and the others to the airport.

It’s a good thing she did so. Otherwise, leaving Niannian alone at home for at least five days, even with plenty of food and water, would definitely cause worry.

When Xu Wenyin returns home tomorrow, she could just have the people from the pet hospital send the cat back.

But Xu Youyou couldn’t immediately see Niannian. Now, seeing a big cat similar to it, she couldn’t help but miss it.

“You’ll be able to see it once we get back.” Lu Chenjun definitely didn’t miss that naughty cat that always came to mess with his hair.

If it weren’t for Xu Youyou liking it, he would definitely teach that cat what manners were!

“I also miss my family’s Dabai^[1]Big White.” Qian Xin heard Xu Youyou’s mutterings. They also had a Samoyed at home, which could be said to have grown up with Qian Xin.

Although mischievous at times, it was still the beloved pet of the whole family.

Especially Qian Xin, since when he’s not playing with friends, he spends most of his time with Dabai.

“I miss Dad.” It was Liu Miaomiao who spoke this time.

Because of the training camp, several children had been away from their families before, and the duration was even longer than it was now.

But once they entered the training camp, there were many things to keep them busy. By the time they finally rested in the evening, they quickly fell asleep after exchanging a few words with their parents.

They simply didn’t have time to think about this and that.

Coming out to play was different.

Sometimes, just a moment of distraction can easily bring to mind things that they wouldn’t normally miss.

Because they’re used to seeing them every day!

Liu Yanzhi didn’t have much to think about. His friends and his loved ones were right there beside him, so he was much happier than being in that family.

But when he saw his friends showing a somewhat gloomy expression, Liu Yanzhi, who had always been very gentlemanly since childhood, quickly began to comfort them, albeit a bit awkwardly.

He said phrases like “We can video chat them later” and “We’ll be back in a few days, and we can bring gifts back”. The adults weren’t panicking, yet Liu Yanzhi seemed even more nervous.

He was making wild gestures as if he was genuinely afraid of Xu Youyou and the others feeling sad.

Such a reaction also amused the other children.

“We know~”

Xu Youyou withdrew from leaning against the window and said, “An’an’s Grandpa is laughing at An’an.”

Upon hearing that, Elder Feng’s smile became even more uncontrollable. He was already seventy years old today, and although he was still in good health, no one could predict what might happen to an elderly person.

In addition, his wife passed away early, and his only daughter……

It can be said that Liu Yanzhi became his only relative.

It’s a pity that such a good child has such a father.

After his daughter’s passing, Elder Feng also wanted to bring Liu Yanzhi to live with him. It would be better than staying at that place. However, Liu Yanzhi’s father strongly opposed it. Having one’s own child raised by the grandfather while the father was alive, how would outsiders view it?

Even though almost everyone in their circle knew about the issues in their family, Liu Yanzhi’s father still insisted on holding onto that scrap of dignity, refusing to let others look down on him any further.

Secondly, Elder Feng also considered his old age. Even if he hired a nanny to take care of the child, there would definitely be many inconveniences. In the end, he could only occasionally take care of Liu Yanzhi, just like before.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the initially somewhat depressed child underwent such significant changes.

“Grandpa!”

With his respected grandfather laughing at him like this, Liu Yanzhi’s face turned red, and he directly turned his head away, refusing to look at everyone again, displaying a demeanor reminiscent of trying to cover one’s ears while stealing a bell.

The result……

“An’an, your ears are so red!”

The naive Qian Xin didn’t hesitate to expose his good friend’s attempt at feigned composure, earning himself an angry smack from Liu Yanzhi, who was embarrassed.

Qian Xin: “……?”

Did he say something wrong? Qian Xin, feeling very innocent, scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

“Hahaha.” The laughter from the adults grew louder, especially from Mother Qian.

She pulled her silly son into an embrace, and even less politely, she rubbed his round cheeks, saying, “You-…… hahaha.”

Qian Xin: “……” Adults were really hard to understand.

The children played in the Mo City for a whole week, almost exploring every corner of it. They also tried many activities not available in Jiang City or the capital. They took a plethora of photos, each one a precious memory.

Finally, amidst reluctance, everyone returned to Jiang City.

Elder Feng, however, returned to the capital alone.

At the airport during their farewell, the old man trembled as he stooped down to hug Liu Yanzhi, his eyes filled with reluctance to part with his grandson who bore a resemblance to his daughter.

But this meeting also brought some comfort to Elder Feng.

Even though Liu Yanzhi’s biological father wasn’t a good person, heaven took pity and gave this poor child such good companions.

“An’an,” Elder Feng’s voice was gentle, “Grandpa and your Mom have always only hoped for your happiness as you grow up. But I know you’re a determined child, so Grandpa won’t say anything more. I just hope, An’an, that whatever decision you make, you’ll take your friends under consideration.”

Liu Yanzhi understood his grandfather’s words. He opened his arms and hugged back Elder Feng. As a four-year-old child, he was only slightly taller than Elder Feng’s waist, but it didn’t affect the sincerity of the gesture.

“Grandpa, An’an understand.”

I will definitely grow up and be happy, but that man—!

I won’t forgive him! Not in this lifetime!

———pr

Stepping onto the land of Jiang City once again, the glaring hot sun didn’t seem as unbearable at that moment.

As they parted ways at the airport, each family boarded their respective cars, agreeing to meet up again in two days to play together.

Xu Wenyin also picked up Xu Youyou, happily spinning the little one around in a circle before smiling and giving a thumbs-up to Qin Yiren.

“Yiyi! You’re my hero!”

This cheesy pickup line nearly made Qin Yiren feel greasy.

She wondered where her friend learned such a thing, as it gave her goosebumps.

However, she did know why Xu Wenyin suddenly ‘confessed’ to her.

Eldest Uncle Xu and Youngest Uncle Xu were even more useless and cowardly than Xu Wenyin and Qin Yiren had anticipated, immediately backing down in the face of pressure.

In less than five days, they were in tears, swearing to return the house and never to dare to take Xu Wenyin’s property again.

Qin Yiren thought about Butler Wang’s report. Wasn’t it just about having a few ‘big brothers’ come over every day to have a good chat with them?

Even though the men had burly appearances and tattoos, Butler Wang neither have those two families fired from their jobs nor resorted to any violent methods. With such nerve, they still dared to seize other people’s property?

Wasn’t it just bullying Xu Wenyin, a lone woman?

Now, faced with Qin Yiren, who was even more powerful and influential than them, they didn’t dare to do things as they had previously considered, such as going to the villa area and shouting grievances.

Those men clearly weren’t the kind to show mercy; they were the type who would actually resort to violence.

What if……

No matter how much they love money, their lives are more important!

With one punch from the men, wouldn’t they end up in the hospital for emergency treatment on the spot?

Within a few days, both families were crying and begging for mercy. Not only did they compensate and send away the tenants from Xu Wenyin’s parents’ house, but they also returned all the furniture they had taken and each family paid a compensation of fifty thousand yuan.

That was quite a hefty chunk of flesh they had to give up.

So bullying the bullies feels this good?

Xu Wenyin felt refreshed and even wanted to be a bit more ruthless.

Don’t talk about mercy with the system, she doesn’t have a heart!
