This subtle movement made Wu Fan have an astonishing guess in his mind.

He had heard earlier that there were some problems with the Guo family antique shop. Could the rumors be true?

Wu Fan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Yingying, tell me the truth, are there any problems with the antiques in the store?"

Guo Yingying hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing her like this, Wu Fan became even more suspicious.

At this moment, Zhuang Zhenyan hugged her daughter to her side, facing Wu Fan and explaining with a smile, "Wu Fan, don't listen to that manager's nonsense. Some bad guys are deliberately picking on us, thinking that our store is small and easy to bully, and they are deliberately wronging us. They are a bunch of scoundrels!"

"Really?" Wu Fan was skeptical.

Zhuang Zhenyan nodded hurriedly, and deliberately put on a righteous look.

"Of course it's true. People nowadays are so mean. They just like to bully honest people like us."

Guo Yingying seemed to understand her mother's intention and immediately cooperated. She threw herself into Wu Fan's arms crying and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Brother Wu Fan, this must be my sister's doing. She has never liked me, so this time she must be taking this opportunity to take revenge on Dad."

Wu Fan's face darkened. He patted Guo Yingying's back and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'll help you. Let's call the police and let them deal with Su Yuan."

"Don't," Zhuang Zhenyan quickly dissuaded him, "Wu Fan, you don't understand the difficulties of being a stepmother. It's better not to call the police, otherwise the rumors outside will be even worse, and I will be the one who suffers in the end."

Guo Yingying nodded in agreement, snuggled in Wu Fan's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and looked at him lovingly.

"As long as Brother Wu Fan is willing to believe in me, I will be satisfied. I don't care about anything else."

"Yingying..."

Wu Fan was so moved that he almost wanted to marry Guo Yingying home immediately and give her all his love and protection.

Seeing the young couple about to perform an intimate scene in public, Zhuang Zhenyan was happy that her daughter Guo Yingying could hold Wu Fan's heart tightly, while keeping her mind rare and clear.

"Wu Fan, it's getting late. You should go back early. We have a lot of things to deal with here. We need to deal with them quickly."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Wu Fan nodded slightly, looked at Guo Yingying with reluctance, and slowly walked towards the door.

After watching Wu Fan completely disappear from her sight, Zhuang Zhenyan turned around and glared at the manager next to her with dissatisfaction.

"Are you just here for work? If you encounter troublemakers, why don't you just ask them to leave?"

The manager looked innocent and helpless.

"Madam, those people don't look like good people. How dare I confront them head-on?" After all, I was just a small clerk and there was no need to fight to the death.

"useless."

Zhuang Zhenyan made a disdainful comment, then turned to Guo Jiangming with disgust.

"Don't just stand there, go out and clean up, I'll take care of this."

The manager slipped out as if he had been pardoned.

Zhuang Zhenyan kicked Guo Jiangming rudely. Guo Jiangming was startled and jumped up from the sofa.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked at Zhuang Zhenyan anxiously.

"Wife, those hooligans must have been sent by Su Yuan. She must be here to settle accounts with me."

"That's enough." Zhuang Zhenyan said impatiently, "Your own daughter has pushed you to this point, and you have no intention of fighting back?"

"Counterattack?" Guo Jiangming pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he seemed embarrassed again: "But Su Yuan has a bodyguard with extraordinary skills. How can I defeat him?"

Zhuang Zhenyan was speechless and choked with emotion.

Looking at the timid Guo Jiangming, the dissatisfaction in Zhuang Zhenyan's eyes gradually escalated.

"Who told you to start a fight? You already have a share of the things in the old house. They were left to you by your ex-wife. What's wrong with taking back your own things?"

Guo Jiangming looked confused.

"Huh? How do I get it?"

"Su Yuan is awake during the day and won't let you touch it, so why don't you just take it quietly at night when she is asleep?" Zhuang Zhenyan argued.

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jiangming shook his head repeatedly.

"No, isn't this forcing me to steal?"

Seeing that Guo Jiangming still had complaints, Zhuang Zhenyan suddenly became furious.

She grabbed Guo Jiangming's ear.

"Guo Jiangming, you've become too independent, haven't you? You don't even listen to me anymore?"

Guo Yingying looked at her father with tears in her eyes.

"Dad, the Wu family is already very dissatisfied with us because they offended Mr. Situ. Why don't we take Su Yuan's jade pendants and give them to Mr. Situ. That way, Mr. Situ will definitely look at us differently. What do you think?"

Guo Jiangming touched his chin, thoughtfully.

After a while, he nodded with a smile.

"You're right. If we can establish a relationship with the Situ family, and bring us along to future auctions, we can get good things at the lowest prices without worrying about losing out."

Thinking of this, a hint of greed flashed in Guo Jiangming's eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Okay! Let's visit the little Western-style building tonight!"

The father and daughter reached a consensus and smiled at each other.

Night falls.

Su Yuan went upstairs to rest early. Yang Sheng had nothing to do, so he also fell asleep.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in from the back door, crouching and sneaking towards the small western-style building.

[Oops, someone's sneaking in, and it seems like they have bad intentions.]

When Su Yuan was in deep sleep, a warning voice suddenly sounded in her head.

Someone broke in?

Su Yuan sat up instantly, and her eyes immediately became extremely sharp.

She immediately sent a message to Yang Sheng and glanced at the time on her phone.

It’s only nine o’clock...

Are all thieves nowadays so desperate?

It was not until a scream of pain was heard downstairs that Su Yuan slowly went downstairs.

In the living room, Guo Jiangming was beaten to the ground by Yang Sheng, his face swollen like an inflated ball, and his former charm was gone.

Chi-

Su Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled.

Guo Jiangming's face was filled with rage, and he yelled at her, "What are you laughing at? Your father had your bodyguard beat you up like this, and you're not helping me and you're still laughing?"

"Why can't I laugh?"

She walked to Guo Jiangming while smiling, took out her cell phone and took a few pictures.

When she looked at Guo Jiangming again, Su Yuan's smile became more cunning.

She squatted down and hooked her finger at Guo Jiangming.

"How about this, let's make a deal. Give me everything my grandfather left behind, and I won't call the police. I'll also delete these photos. How about that?"

Guo Jiangming's eyes were fierce.

He gritted his teeth and warned, "Dream on! I tell you, that's impossible!"

Seeing that he refused so decisively, Su Yuan sighed with regret.

"I wanted to leave you a chance to live, but since you don't want it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, she turned her back and said to Yang Sheng:

"Send him to the police station and tell them he's a thief."

Then, she passed the photo in her hand to the gossip reporter with a wicked smile on her lips.

"My own father came to steal from my house, Guo Jiangming, don't you think netizens should thank you for giving them such a big piece of news?"
