She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Lin Qingran cupped Fu Xingze's face and wiped away his tears.

"Mom wants to tell you something."

"I understand," Fu Xingze said. "I know Mom and Uncle Bo Ye are together, and I can accept that! Even if Mom and Dad never see each other again, as long as Mom is happy, that's all that matters!"

Fu Xingze stared intently into Lin Qingran's eyes, speaking each word slowly and deliberately, his expression extremely serious.

"I promise I'll take good care of my sister and never bully her again! I was just jealous of her before because Mom used to only love me, but now she has to share it with her. But she's my sister, and although I still feel a little uncomfortable, I will accept her and treat her well! Mom, please believe me?"

Faced with his sincere sincerity presented to her, Lin Qingran didn't know what to say, and in the end, she could only nod silently.

Jiang Yuanbai went to a meeting in the provincial capital, and when he returned, his home had changed drastically.

Fu Xingze, this newcomer, managed to get along well with Lingdang. Despite being a little kid himself, he acted like an older brother, playing with Lingdang and taking meticulous care of her.

Lin Qingran's gaze towards Fu Xingze also held a touch more affection. As for Bo Ye, although he appeared awkward on the surface, he had essentially accepted the child.

The family got along surprisingly well.

But Jiang Yuanbai couldn't help but frown as he looked at the heartwarming scene before him.

It wasn't until nightfall, when Lin Qingran entered Jiang Yuanbai's room and brought him some traditional Chinese medicine to help him sleep, that Jiang Yuanbai's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"Dad, you should take less medicine. You're getting old, and I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

Lin Qingran frowned slightly as she watched Jiang Yuanbai drink the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.

Jiang Yuanbai sighed, "After your mother passed away, my insomnia never got better. But I've been taking much less medication these past few years, so don't worry."

Lin Qingran nodded gently and sat down on the sofa.

"In a few days, I will go back to the Bo family with Bo Ye."

“I heard about this from Xiao Ye. Although her family doesn’t pay much attention to Xiao Ye, you two are now truly together, and the formalities have to be followed.” Jiang Yuanbai nodded.

"But that's not what I'm focusing on right now. My main concern is that kid, Fu Xingze."

“He’s been quite well-behaved lately,” Lin Qingran said.

"When I saw him like that, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him."

"After all, he is your own child. If you can just let go of the blood ties, then that person is too terrifying." Jiang Yuanbai shook his head and sighed.

“I understand why you brought the child back to take care of him yourself. After all, Fu Xiuheng is an unreliable person. Even though he took care of the child alone for two years, the child hasn’t changed much. He also left Fu Xingze alone in Yuncheng, which is really irresponsible. But Jiuge, as a father, I have to remind you that old habits die hard. Although he seemed normal when he was with you, it doesn’t mean he has really changed.”

Lin Qingran looked at Jiang Yuanbai with a puzzled expression, "Dad, what do you mean?"

“Raising a child is a very important lesson, and one must continuously learn and improve throughout their life. It’s not an easy thing. If you’re not careful, they can go astray immediately. What’s more, he was influenced by Fu Xiuheng and Lin Yuyan before, and his personality is probably already set in stone. It’s not something you can change his ways in just a few days,” Jiang Yuanbai said.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. After all, he's just a child, and I really don't need to look at him with prejudice. But you are also my child. Parents love their children and will plan far ahead for them. You must remember to protect yourself and never let yourself repeat the same mistakes."

Lin Qingran understood Jiang Yuanbai's meaning and nodded solemnly.

"I'll pay attention."

"That's good." Jiang Yuanbai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, weren't you investigating Zhao Quanying's case? Any news now?"

"Qingyu has been investigating, but she hasn't contacted me recently."

As Lin Qingran spoke, a strange look appeared on her face.

Since the incident in Nancheng, there has been no news of Zhao Quanying, and I have not received any more threatening phone calls.

The timing of these two events is particularly coincidental.

If she couldn't be sure who sent her the message that almost cost her and her unborn child her life before, Lin Qingran now had a definite answer in her heart.

“I’ve seen what Fu Xiuheng and Shen Pei’an did, but it’s not surprising,” Jiang Yuanbai said.

"Your reunion with them will inevitably cause trouble. Whether they did something to you or you took the initiative, it's still within our control. However, the person who almost harmed you back then must be found out."

Jiang Yuanbai is right.

Now that Fu Xiuheng and Shen Pei'an's actions are all out in the open, any slight movement will immediately reach Lin Qingran's ears. Moreover, Lin Qingran is not without the ability to fight against them, so she can put it aside for now, as Jiang Yuanbai suggested.

Those who hide in the shadows are especially terrifying.

Especially Zhao Quanying.

He was not of noble birth, and although he appeared to have some power, it was only because of Zhou Lan's influence.

The forces he can mobilize are not truly loyal to him.

Given his circumstances, the fact that he could do all these things is truly terrifying.

“Since he dared to do it, he should also dare to admit it,” Lin Qingran said.

"Although they have repeatedly called to threaten me, it only proves that they are actually afraid to admit it."

“You’re right.” Jiang Yuanbai agreed with Lin Qingran’s opinion.

“If he really had the ability, he could have ended your life quietly. But so far, he hasn’t really done anything to you, which shows that he’s just a coward with a lot of bluster. However, now that things in Nancheng are over, he will probably come back again. You need to act quickly and not give him any leverage.”

"I know." Lin Qingran stood up. "Dad, you should rest early. I'll go back first too."

After talking with Jiang Yuanbai, Lin Qingran felt somewhat uneasy.

After returning to her room, Lin Qingran immediately dialed Wen Qingyu's number.

Wen Qingyu answered quickly, "Sister Jiuge, what happened?"

"I'm fine, everything is going smoothly so far," Lin Qingran said.

"But why do you ask that?"

Wen Qingyu paused for a moment on the other end of the phone before speaking in a low voice.

"Fu Rongrong's daughter, Jiang Xinyuan, has gotten into trouble."
