Sun Gaixin felt a burning pain on his face and wanted to lose his temper and fight back, but seeing Meng Mingxuan blocking Susu to keep her from seeing this scene, he held it back.

He knew that if he fought back now, he might end up being beaten by both of them; he could at least see that much clearly.

Sun Gaixin also chose not to call the police; he had learned of Meng Mingxuan's identity from Tian Ya yesterday and knew that calling the police for such a trivial matter would be useless.

"Next time, don't let me see you again!" Zhang Ran did not say much more, his voice very flat.

There was still a long time ahead, and having offended him, Zhang Ran, and treated his daughter this way, it would not be settled so simply.

Sun Gaixin was also a person of some standing; although he was exceptionally furious at this moment, he maintained a normal expression and did not let his emotions show.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Ran suddenly laughed, "Truly, those who don't belong to the same family don't enter the same house; you and Tian Yaohui are exactly the same."

At this, Sun Gaixin could no longer keep up the act; although he did not know who Zhang Ran was, judging by his tone, he seemed to know Tian Yaohui, and there was even a sense of disdain for Tian Yaohui in his voice?

Sun Gaixin also thought of the person in the conversation between Tian Ya and Hao Yuan yesterday; if nothing went wrong, it should be this person in front of him.

At the time, Tian Ya had also called to ask Tian Yaohui, but Tian Yaohui had not told her who that person was.

"Who are you?" Sun Gaixin suddenly felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Zhang Ran pointed at Zhang Siyan and said, "I am the biological father of Zhang Siyan and Zhang Sicheng, and Susu's biological grandfather."

"Get lost now." Zhang Ran took a deep breath, slightly easing the anger in his heart.

Although he wished he could tear the person in front of him into eight pieces right now, Sun Gaixin was, after all, Susu's father; even if he were to teach Sun Gaixin a lesson, he needed to keep it away from Susu.

It was just that Zhang Ran had truly been unable to hold back just now, and he had even had Meng Mingxuan block Susu's view.

Sun Gaixin took a deep look at Zhang Ran; although he was very confused and puzzled, he knew at this moment that he could not stay any longer, or he might end up getting beaten.

At this moment, he had no intention of going home; he wanted to find Tian Ya.

One reason was to tell her the good news that he had already divorced, and the other was to ask clearly who this person in front of him was; he believed Hao Yuan must know.

"Uncle Zhang, that was cool! I wanted to go up and slap him just now, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it," Qian Li said with a look of regret.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Ran knew she wasn't lying; Qian Li had truly wanted to take action just now.

Since she was already divorced, Qian Li no longer suppressed her temper; she had long wanted to give Sun Gaixin a beating.

"Why did you come?" Zhang Siyan asked the question from earlier again.

She had just been watching quietly while Zhang Ran hit Sun Gaixin; for some reason, Zhang Siyan found that she seemed to enjoy this situation.

It was not because she was happy that Sun Gaixin was beaten, but because someone could stand up for her when she had been wronged.

Zhang Ran said, "I just happened to be passing by here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Meng Mingxuan couldn't help but cough dryly; they had been lurking outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for over three hours, and he called that "happening to pass by"?

Meng Mingxuan was just about to complain when he saw Zhang Ran glare at him, so he couldn't help but laugh sheepishly, "Yeah, we just happened to be passing by, haha, just passing by."

Seeing Meng Mingxuan's appearance, Zhang Siyan knew perfectly well that Zhang Ran had been waiting here the whole time, and a warmth couldn't help but rise in her heart.

It felt so good to be cared for like this!

"By the way, do you have time this afternoon?" Zhang Siyan had also made up her mind.

Especially after experiencing the events of yesterday and today, she thought that she needed to spend more time with her biological father.

In fact, Zhang Siyan had always longed for fatherly love in her heart; this longing had not dissipated as she grew up, it had only become more introverted.

And Zhang Siyan had seen everything Zhang Ran had done during this time.

At first, Zhang Siyan didn't really know what to do, nor did she know how to get along with Zhang Ran.

But now, she felt that if she didn't avoid Zhang Ran when something happened and let him help, it would be better for their relationship.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran immediately said, "Of course I have time."

"It's like this, I'm going to Sun Gaixin's house this afternoon to get some things belonging to me and Susu; if you have time, you can accompany me," Zhang Siyan said.

Zhang Ran naturally had no objections and agreed immediately, incidentally requisitioning Meng Mingxuan and his car.

An hour later, Zhang Ran and the others arrived at the entrance of Sun Gaixin's home; seeing the clearly nervous expression on Susu's face, Zhang Ran's anger flared up instantly.

When he first saw Susu, he thought that Susu's personality was just like that, relatively cold.

But slowly, he learned that Susu's personality was due to her family situation, especially her grandparents.

How could this not make Zhang Ran furious!

Zhang Ran squatted down, pulled Susu into his arms, and said softly to her, "Susu, trust Grandpa. Since Grandpa has returned, from now on, no one will ever be able to bully you and Mommy again. Grandpa promises you!"

Susu seemed to feel the determination in Zhang Ran's tone; her small, tense body gradually relaxed, and she whispered an "Mm" in Zhang Ran's ear.

Ahead, Zhang Siyan had already knocked on the gate; in fact, Zhao Chunlan had long seen Zhang Siyan's group, but she only came over after Zhang Siyan rang the doorbell.

"What's the rush? In a hurry to go get reincarnated?" Zhao Chunlan's anger flared the moment she saw Zhang Siyan.

Zhang Siyan did not want to entangle with her anymore; she just wanted to take her things away immediately and never have to see this ugly face again.

"I'm here to get my things," Zhang Siyan said.

"I know, the things are all in the basement. Hurry up, and also, you can only take the things in the basement; don't think about taking anything else," Zhao Chunlan said with a look of disdain.

However, just at this moment, Zhang Ran had already turned around while holding Susu, and Zhao Chunlan also saw Zhang Ran's face.

At first glance, she thought it was Zhang Sicheng, but she quickly realized that this was not Zhang Sicheng.

The next moment, a face deeply imprinted in her mind instantly matched the face in front of her; even the feeling it gave off was exactly the same.

Zhao Chunlan froze on the spot.

Zhang Siyan had originally been prepared to go in, but seeing Zhao Chunlan standing there, she thought she was going to cause some kind of trouble again.

But very quickly, she saw the incredulity in Zhao Chunlan's eyes—a look like she had seen a ghost—and at the same time, Zhang Siyan also saw a flash of terror!

Zhang Ran naturally saw this expression on Zhao Chunlan as well; he had also heard Zhao Chunlan's attitude toward Zhang Siyan just now, and from that, he could imagine how she had treated Zhang Siyan in the past.

However, for a moment, Zhang Ran really didn't remember who this person was, but he could be certain that this must be an "old acquaintance," otherwise she wouldn't have such an expression upon seeing him.
