“Lan Erying, you sure are shameless.” Mother Xiao looked at the gathered Chen Family members, and she was not fazed.

When the Chen Family saw how rude Mother Xiao was, they were stunned. Then they were confused. Normally, no matter how rude they were to the Xiao Family, they did not dare say anything back. But today, Chen Qiuying’s attitude…

After being ridiculed, Lan Erying was instantly angered, “Chen Qiuying, how dare you speak to me like this? Does your daughter still want to marry my son? Let me tell you if you dare to carry that tone with me again, I… I will forbid my son from marrying your daughter. My son is such an outstanding man. The girls who want to marry him can circle Xing An Town!”

In the past, she always used this to threaten the Xiao Family, and it worked every time!

But this time, Mother Xiao had no reason to be cowed. Since her daughter had already broken up with Chen Ran, why should she continue to tolerate them?

If this continued, people would really think Xiao Lingyu had no one else to marry Chen Ran and that the Xiao Family was easily bullied.

Mother Xiao chuckled sardonically. “Your son can marry whoever he wants. In any case, he is not marrying my daughter. So is there anything else? If not, please leave!”

The Chen Family was stunned by Mother Xiao’s directness. Chen Dahua was the first to come back to his senses. It was embarrassing that he was treated like this before his brothers.

His face darkened, and he warned, “Mother Xiao, you’ve gone too far. Once my Ran ‘Er decides he won’t marry your daughter, your daughter will be the first to come back to beg us to change Ran ‘Er’s mind!”

Mother Xiao was done dealing with these arrogant Chen Family people. She repeated coldly, “I’ll say it again. If you have nothing else, then leave! I have chores to do!”

Chen Dahua and his wife simply couldn’t believe Chen Qiuying.

Lan Erying’s voice turned sharp. She said in disbelief, “Chen Qiuying, how dare you? Trust me, after Xiao Lingyu enters the Chen Family, I’ll make sure that she suffers!” This was a blatant threat.

Mother Xiao couldn’t care less. She retorted, “The Chen Family is too good for us. My Yu ‘Er is not good enough for your godlike son. So go and disturb someone else. Stop bothering me.”

Chen Dahua and his wife were incensed. They pointed angrily at Mother Xiao. “You…”

At this moment, a man behind Chen Dahua coughed a few times and stood up to say, “Big Brother, we can talk about this in the future. We need to discuss the important matter first.”

Chen Dahua finally realized the purpose of their visit after being reminded by Chen Sanhua. They were led so astray by Chen Qiuying that they almost messed up.

Chen Dahua’s attitude became better. But by normal standards, he was still bossy towards Chen Qiuying. Chen Dahua said, “In-law, Ran ‘Er needs his mother and me to visit him at City Z. Lend us fifty thousand RMB for the travel fee.”

The Chen Family, of course, never intended to return the money.

Mother Xiao was so amused by their attitude that she had to laugh. “Fifty thousand?” Mother Xiao repeated with an incredulous expression. She was surprised by how matter-of-fact the Chen Family was.

“Yes, fifty thousand!” Chen Dahua thought Xiao Mother didn’t hear him clearly so he repeated.

“No way!” Mother Xiao rejected. Even if Xiao Lingyu hadn’t broken up with Chen Ran, she would not borrow them so much money. ‘Does the Chen Family think we’re the bank? They can withdraw money whenever they want?’

Mother Xiao knew how greedy the Chen Family was. If she borrowed them the money, they would come back to her the second, third, and countless times in the future.

Since their children had broken up, Mother Xiao would not borrow them five cents, not to mention fifty thousand.

“Yes, we will return the money…” Lan Erying was already prepared with her lies, but when she heard Mother Xiao reject her, her eyes were round with disbelief. She said in a sharp tone. “You’re not going to help us? Chen Qiuying, how dare you say no to us? It’s only fifty thousand, and you can’t even lend us that? You don’t have any respect for the Chen Family anymore. Fine, I will call now to have Ran ‘Er break up with your daughter. Then you’ll come begging us for mercy!”

“Lan Erying, Chen Dahua, how shameless can you be? You need money, so I have to lend it to you?” Mother Xiao countered. “Even if we do have the money, we will not lend you one cent. Who do you think you are? So what if you want to go to City Z? What does that have to do with me? To think you dare to say the fifty thousand is for travel free. Do you think we Xiao Family has a money tree growing in our backyard?”

Mother Xiao paused, and her pretty eyes narrowed. She then smiled with glee. She added, “Also, you don’t need to call Chen Ran to break up with my Yu ‘Er. Because they have already broken up.”

“What?” The Chen Family was too shocked by this news. They couldn’t believe it. “How is this possible?”

Back then, both the school and the Xiao Family tried so hard to keep Chen Ran and Xiao Lingyu together, so how could they suddenly break up?

“I don’t believe you!” Lan Erying said loudly, “How come we don’t know anything?” Then she thought of something, and she pointed angrily at Mother Xiao. “Chen Qiuying, if you don’t want to lend us the money, just say it. Why do you have to find such an excuse? If Xiao Lingyu finds out, she will be so heartbroken.”

“I won’t!” At this moment, a voice came from inside the house. Then, Xiao Lingyu walked out. “Because I was the one who told my mother that I have broken up with Chen Ran. Auntie Lan, now do you believe me?”

Initially, Xiao Lingyu did not want to come out. Because she really did not want to see Chen Ran’s parents. Furthermore, she was confident that her mother could deal with the Chen Family.

However, the Chen Family was too much. They wanted to go to City Z, but they needed the Xiao Family to sponsor their travel.

From the looks of it, they did not intend to return the money either. Then again, it was unsurprising considering the type of person Chen Ran was. The children were products of their parent’s education.

In her past life, she must be blinded to think Chen Ran and his family were good people.

After Mother Xiao left to deal with the Chen Family, Xiao Lingyu was busy studying the jade pendant.

After she saved the boy from Sister Hong, an officer asked her, “Miss Xiao, are you a martial artist? You’re really good with your movements. I saw everything. You avoided all the attacks expertly and even managed to save the child from Sister Hong.”

Now that she thought about it, the improvement to her reaction speed was very likely related to this jade pendant.

Xiao Lingyu pondered how to test it out further when the increasingly heated argument drowned out her mind. The Chen Family was becoming more and more outrageous. Xiao Lingyu decided she needed to step out to chase these people away.
