Looking at the tears in Tang Wu’s eyes, Lan Yue’s heart ached.

  It was hard to imagine how much she had suffered because of him.

  Today was her grandmother’s birthday banquet and her aunt dared to scheme against her without any care, not to mention usually speaking ill of her behind her back!

  Lan Yue pulled Tang Wu into his arms and looked at the tall man with his dark eyes, his expression sharp and cold. “Why? Do you want to touch my woman?”


  Ye Sen originally thought that Tang Wu had no one to back her up. Even if she took the recording, there was nothing to be afraid of as long as he continued to deny it.

  Anyway, Tang Wu’s reputation was not good and not many people believed that she was innocent!

  But now, when he looked at the man who had pulled Tang Wu into his arms and met his eyes, Ye Sen felt inexplicably afraid.

  This person’s appearance and aura did not look like an ordinary person.

  Could it be that Tang Wu had found someone important?

  Ye Sen glanced at his aunt. His aunt regained her senses from Lan Yue’s appearance and sized up Lan Yue, smirking in disdain. “I was wondering who it was. So it’s the poor boy who caused our Wuwu to rebel and go against her mother!”


  “Why? In the past few years, you disappeared without a trace and found a rich woman overseas? When the rich woman died, you got a large fortune and came back to hire a few bodyguards with money?”


  Auntie clicked her tongue and pouted. “Although you don’t laugh at others, you’re really spineless as a man!” With that said, she looked at Tang Wu in Lan Yue’s arms. “Wuwu, you’re really worrying. Do you still treat such a pretty boy like a treasure?” Tang Wu wrapped her arms around Lan Yue’s thin waist and glanced at her aunt from the corner of her eye. “It’s a pity that you’re not going to be a screenwriter. How much do you hate my boyfriend? Slandering him as a gigolo who relies on women?”


  “Auntie, your mouth has been smelly for more than a day or two. I suggest you go to the Orthodontics Department and see if there are pus inside that makes your mouth stink.”


  Seeing that Tang Wu’s words were harsh, Auntie’s expression changed. She pointed at Mother Tang. “Sister, look at your good daughter. Don’t forget that she was with this poor boy back then and caused you to get into a car accident.”


  Before Mother Tang could say anything, she heard a deep and cold voice. “Manager Wang, I think we should blacklist such low-class guests.”


  Manager Wang hurriedly nodded.

  “Who do you think you are? Don’t think that you can do whatever you want in the capital just because you took some money from the rich lady!” Auntie was furious and asked her cousin to call her boyfriend over to help.

  Lan Yue was unmoved and his dark eyes glanced at Ye Sen coldly. “Do you want to kneel down and apologize, or do you want me to cripple you?”


  Ye Sen looked at the man who was full of bloody violence. He was a little afraid and his legs trembled. He asked his aunt for help.

  Auntie snorted. “What are you kneeling for? Who does he think he is? He’s just a poor boy. Ye Sen, you don’t have to be afraid!”


  Lan Yue smirked coldly and glanced at the man in black. The man in black immediately went forward, grabbed Ye Sen’s arm, and dragged him into the room.

  Ye Sen was big and kept resisting, but in the hands of the agile men in black, he was like a trapped beast and could not break free.

  The door was closed and Ye Sen’s scream trailed over.

  The people outside were stunned.

  Auntie’s face paled and she looked at Lan Yue with fear. “This is the capital, not a place where you can do whatever you want. Wait, I’m going to call the police!”


  The moment her aunt finished speaking, Tang Wu laughed coldly. “Auntie, I have evidence of you and Ye Sen trying to set me up in the recording. If you want to call the police, you have to deal with the two of you first!”


  Auntie’s body swayed and she walked to Mother Tang’s side, looking furious. “Look at your good daughter. She’s simply lawless.”


  Mother Tang looked at Tang Wu, who was leaning in Lan Yue’s arms, full of reliance and trust. She had mixed feelings, but she could tell right from wrong.

  Mother Tang said to her aunt, “You’re the one who’s lawless! How dare you hurt my daughter at my birthday banquet? What right do you have?”


  Looking at Mother Tang shouting at her, Auntie took a few steps back unsteadily.

  “Sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Look, Tang Wu is with the person you hate the most again. I introduced Ye Sen to her for her own good. What kind of future will she have with a poor boy?” “Alright, stop arguing!” Grandma, who had been silent, spoke.

  Grandma looked at her aunt and shook her head in disappointment. “What does it have to do with you who Wuwu is with? You can just settle your own family matters. Why are you putting your hands on your niece? Apologize to her quickly!”


  “Mom, I’m not apologizing. I’m doing this for her own good! She’s the one who didn’t recognize my kindness!”


  Grandma was furious with Auntie.

  Seeing this, Tang Wu hurriedly squatted in front of her grandmother and held her hand, comforting her. “Grandma, don’t be angry. I’ll be very happy now that I have someone to rely on.”


  Tang Wu reached out her other hand to Lan Yue. “I haven’t brought him to meet you before. Today, I’ll officially introduce you to my daughter’s father, Lan Yue.”


  Lan Yue took an exquisite sandalwood box from the man in black and squatted in front of Grandma. He opened the box. “Grandma, hello. This is my birthday gift to you.”


  There were two cultural walnuts in the box. Two of them were carved into dragons. They were exquisitely carved and covered with auspicious clouds, looking extremely lifelike.

  When Grandma saw this, surprise appeared in her eyes. “These are the two that my old man used to hold in his hands?”


  Tang Wu’s grandfather had passed away early. He had carved these two walnuts himself and they were his beloved items. After he passed away, thieves had entered the house once and they had been lost.

  Grandma had always wanted to find these two walnuts, but she had never found them.

  Tang Wu was also a little surprised. She had never mentioned this to Lan Yue at all. She had no idea when he had found or bought it.

  Seeing that Lan Yue had won Grandma’s favor the moment he arrived, her aunt was so angry that her face turned green. Her daughter had never seen the Old Madam so happy even when she had found a boyfriend from a multinational corporation.

  “Mom, you must have seen wrongly. You even believed the two fake walnuts he bought at the market?”


  Grandma took the walnuts and glared at her aunt with a dark expression. “What do you know? Your father personally carved these words on it. I recognize them.”


  Grandma patted Lan Yue’s shoulder, joy and gratitude in her eyes. “Xiaolan, you’re so considerate.”


  Seeing that her daughter had brought her boyfriend over, her aunt hurriedly waved at them.

  With her future son-in-law around, it was impossible for her to apologize to this poor boy whose surname was Lan!
