Lan Yiqing also sensed her thoughts imdiately and quietly patted An Nan’s hand to offer comfort.
No matter what others say, she’s very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and she’s quite satisfied with this grandson too.
The two ladies seed unaware of this answer, and when they looked at Jiayou, an expression of surprise appeared on their faces, followed by an awkward smile.
"Such a handso young man."
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Lin, keep shopping, we’re about to leave."
"Alright, goodbye."
After the four of them walked away, Lan Yiqing continued smiling and said to An Nan: "Don’t think too much, what others say has nothing to do with us, we just need to do our part well."
An Nan instantly felt relaxed: "Mom, I understand."
However, this understanding didn’t last long before an unexpected scene unfolded.
After choosing the jewelry, An Nan needed to go to the restroom. Lan Yiqing, worried that her pregnant belly would make it inconvenient, suggested accompanying her. An Nan couldn’t refuse, so she agreed.
At the restroom entrance, Lan Yiqing smiled and said to An Nan: "You go in first, I’ll wait here for you."
"Mom, why don’t you go back first? I can manage on my own."
Lan Yiqing still refused: "Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."
"Thank you, Mom."
"Hmm."
Knowing soone was waiting outside made An Nan feel awkward, so she hurried. Just as she finished washing her hands and pushed open the restroom door to leave, a shocking scene unfolded before her eyes.
She saw her mother-in-law slap soone directly. Since the person had their back to her, she couldn’t see who it was. Just as she was about to step forward, a woman’s voice reached her ears: "Lan Yiqing, am I wrong? Your wife is nothing but a slut, claiming it’s a grandson—this child looks no older than ten, how old is your son? Did she start giving birth at just thirteen or fourteen?"
As the woman shouted harshly, there were voices of fear and persuasion nearby: "Stop it, don’t say any more, aren’t you afraid of the Lin Family?"
The woman was already furious and ignored the advice, continuing to shout out unpleasant words: "She wasn’t even married, and her belly was already big. If that’s not promiscuous, what is it?"
An Nan clenched her hands and prepared to step forward and reprimand her loudly when her mother-in-law’s voice continued to reach her ears: "I’m quite curious, how do you know what kind of person my daughter-in-law is? If you don’t know, then your words just now amount to slander, and I have the right to pursue legal action against you. Everyone present is a witness, as for my hitting you, that was in self-defense, so all present have seen it. So, Madam, please go ho and wait for my lawyer’s letter! Moreover, I’d like to tell you this: what my Lin Family’s daughter-in-law is like is our family’s business, so please watch carefully and clean your mouth, and stop spreading baseless rumors."
With Lan Yiqing’s words finished, she saw An Nan standing at the restroom door and beckoned to her frankly: "Nannan, let’s go."
Then she stepped forward, holding An Nan’s hand, and left. After the two had walked a few steps, An Nan suddenly stopped, with puzzled glances from those around her continuing to fall on her: "What’s wrong?"
