Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Everything proceeded as usual, but merely a few days later, when Jiang Wenyu passed by the original Food Factory again, it had already completely turned into a song-and-dance hall, and was already preparing to open; crowds gathered around pointing and whispering, clearly with nothing good to say.

During this period Jiang Wenyu also ran into Wu Miaomiao; she had just gotten off work too, and the two chatted a few sentences. Hearing her say she was doing quite well at Dianqi Cheng, that Zhou Shi was kind and treated her well, yet every time she came here her mood would still turn gloomy, and her younger brother Wu Chang had still not shown his face to this day.

Over these few days Li Zhao did not come again, which instead made Jiang Wenyu even more vigilant.

On this day Chen Lan was resting and did not go to work; after sending Nuan Nuan to Kindergarten in the morning she returned. Jiang Wenyu had also originally planned to stay home and keep her company today, but Chen Lan said there was no need, and did not want to delay Jiang Wenyu's work; helpless, Jiang Wenyu did not come back.

At noon, Chen Lan alone at home was tidying the house when knocking sounds came one after another.

Her expression changed, fearing it was Li Zhao come to the door; she even hid a pair of scissors in her apron pocket, then carefully walked to the door.

"Who is it?"

Jiang Wenyu was not home, but Chen Lan was also a strong woman; if the other party really dared to do anything she would not mind stabbing them with a snip of the scissors!

However, the voice from outside was not Li Zhao's.

"Lan Lan, we came to see you!"

The voice was very warm; hearing it, Chen Lan hurriedly opened the door — it was none other than her parents and her younger sister Chen Na.

Chen Fu and Chen Mu looked at Chen Lan with great warmth; Chen Na, however, crossed her arms with an indifferent, dismissive look.

"Dad, Mom, you're here!"

Chen Lan hurriedly welcomed them inside, and in her heart she also let out a breath of relief; since last time they had not come again.

Seeing Chen Lan's current appearance, Chen Fu and Chen Mu were also somewhat surprised; last time she came her hair was still a bit messy and her face full of worry, but now Chen Lan was not only dressed very neatly, the sorrow on her face seemed to have vanished completely.

Chen Fu looked left and right, saying: "Where's that kid Jiang Wenyu? Could he have run off to drink again?"

Chen Lan hurriedly explained: "Dad, he's working at a friend's place."

"Work? Heh." Before Chen Fu could speak, Chen Na took the lead in sneering repeatedly, saying: "That good-for-nothing still has a job? Give it a rest, Sis."

Chen Lan was just about to explain something when Chen Mu immediately asked: "Lan Lan, how come we don't see Xiao Nuannuan?"

Chen Lan immediately recounted the matter of her changing jobs and Nuan Nuan changing Kindergartens; after hearing it, Chen Mu said: "Clothing Factory, ah, pretty good, pretty good, that's also a decent skill."

Chen Fu also nodded repeatedly; only Chen Na's face turned iron-blue.

Chen Na was slightly younger than Chen Lan, and currently also worked at another Li Family Factory.

"Lan Lan, this time that guy happens to not be here, you hurry up and pack your things and come home with us." Chen Fu spoke bluntly.

Hearing this, Chen Lan's face immediately hardened, and she said: "Dad, I said it last time, I won't go back, and besides, Wenyu this month…"

"What good is following that waste!" Chen Lan had originally planned to tell them how much money Jiang Wenyu earned this month, but Chen Fu angrily cut in first: "Look at how you've lived these years! You don't consider yourself, but you have to consider Nuan Nuan!"

Chen Mu also kept persuading from the side, and after listening to them constantly badmouthing Jiang Wenyu, Chen Lan finally could not bear it; she stood up, face dark, and said: "Dad, Mom, I'm very happy you came to see me this time, but don't bring up the matter of me going back, and also, stop saying bad things about him!"

"Lan Lan!" Chen Fu was furious; Chen Mu stood up, grabbing Chen Lan and persuading: "How can you be so insensible? Your dad is doing this for your own good!"

Chen Lan had not said much more when Chen Fu also suddenly stood up, saying: "Fine, you're truly stubborn enough. This time since that kid isn't here, never mind; next time I come I'll definitely take you back!"

Finishing speaking, Chen Fu stormed out in a huff; Chen Na also secretly sneered and followed out; only Chen Mu persuaded: "Lan Lan, you must think it through…"

"Mom, I've thought it through." Chen Lan as always; Chen Mu was also powerless, no matter what she persuaded she could not get through, and in the end could only follow Chen Fu and leave.

After a brief reunion there was only an unhappy parting; the relationship between Chen Lan and her family clearly had some cracks.

Standing alone in the house, Chen Lan only let out a heavy sigh after a moment.

Before evening, Jiang Wenyu went to pick up Nuan Nuan and returned home; seeing Chen Lan's complexion was not too good, he asked the reason, and upon hearing that Chen Fu and Chen Mu had come again today, he understood what had happened.
