Qin Lan walked over and glanced at Bai Lian before glancing at Jing Chen. Her gaze then landed on Su Wan. Her gaze was gentle, but her tone was sharp. “What does Su Wan mean by this? The real deal is making space for the imposter? Jing Chen, aren’t you going to explain what this means?”

Stunned, Jing Chen hurriedly explained, “Mom, don’t misunderstand. I just happened to meet Bai Lian.”

Bai Lian quickly wiped her tears away and smiled. “Aunt, it’s like this. I came to choose a gift for Grandpa, but I didn’t expect to meet Jing Chen and his wife. There was a misunderstanding. It’s a small matter.”

Qin Lan looked at her face and chuckled, “If it’s just a small misunderstanding then why are you crying so hard? It must have been such a big deal if an adult like you could break down because of it? Don’t you know how embarrassing it is to cry in public?”

Bai Lian heard this and quickly wiped her cheeks. “Auntie Qin is right. I couldn’t control my emotions. I shouldn’t cry when I am wronged. It would be embarrassing…”

Jing Chen couldn’t take it anymore. He frowned and said, “This is all Su Wan’s fault. Her words are too harsh. She said that Bai Lian was the third party and even threatened her. Who wouldn’t feel bad after hearing such things?”

When Qin Lan heard this, she sneered, “Did she say something wrong? In this day and age, your own husband bullies you for speaking the truth. If your own husband doesn’t side with you, and sides with another woman, won’t you be upset? No wonder my daughter-in-law looks so unhappy. It’s all because of this disappointing son of mine.”

Jing Chen pursed his lips and said helplessly, “Mom, how can you say that?”

Bai Lian also lowered her head and didn’t speak. No matter what, Qin Lan was her future mother-in-law, so she naturally couldn’t provoke her. Otherwise, her future life would be miserable!

“Did I say anything wrong?”

Qin Lan seemed to be asking him, but in actuality, she’s interrogating him!

Bai Lian didn’t dare to refute, so she went along and said, “Auntie Qin is right, but you can’t be biased. Jing Chen just handled this matter from a fair point of view, just because Su Wan is his wife doesn’t mean he can just side with Su Wan regardless of what has happened.”

Qin Lan smiled and said, “Jing Chen, did you hear what Su Wan said just now? What were her original words? Repeat them to me. I want to hear what my daughter-in-law’s eloquence is like.”

Bai Lian quickly replied, “Let me repeat it for Auntie Qin.”

“Did I ask you? It’s not your turn to speak.”

Qin Lan’s words were harsh and cold. She didn’t show Bai Lian any respect at all.

It made Jing Chen’s scalp go numb.

Su Wan looked at everything that was happening in front of her in shock. Her opinion of her mother-in-law, Qin Lan, suddenly changed!

Her mother-in-law was too supportive of her!

She was taking revenge for her!

She was obviously targeting Bai Lian!

Jing Chen didn’t hear anything just now, and it was a lie. How could he know what she said?

Or could it be that Jing Chen could lie to his mother for this woman?!

Su Wan kept her gaze on Jing Chen and did not notice Bai Lian’s flustered expression. However, Qin Lan noticed everything.

How could Jing Chen repeat what she had said? He did not answer her question. “Mom, the misunderstanding has been resolved. We won’t trouble you anymore.”

“Then let me guess, you can’t tell. Does it mean that you didn’t hear what Su Wan said? You didn’t hear it, but you heard what the third party said. The third party even cried, so your heart softened, and you assume that Su Wan must have said something overboard and bullied the third party?”

Jing Chen frowned. “Mom, don’t keep calling her the third party…”

“Answer me, is that so?”

Qin Lan’s face was cold and her tone was unfriendly.

Ever since Jing Chen was young, many things could not escape Qin Lan’s eyes. Today was the same, and he could only nod.

This nod was followed by a crisp slap!

Qin Lan slapped Bai Lian hard across the face!

Bai Lian felt a burning pain on her face. Her panicked face was covered in tears.

She felt extremely humiliated!

She had been beaten up by her future mother-in-law in front of Su Wan and she had even been confronted by her mother-in-law. Bai Lian had truly lost all her face!

Deep down, she was extremely unhappy. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying out loud.

On the other hand, Qin Lan shook her hand elegantly and said shockingly, “Jing Chen, you’re my son, yet you did such a brainless thing. If your father hadn’t moved the operating theater home, I would have suspected that you weren’t my biological son!”

“How can you believe such baseless rumors?! You even framed your own wife. How unlucky!”
