After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Regardless of whether her daughter was willing or not, Cai Lianfang still dragged Lin Fei away.

I even splurged for once and took a taxi.

Back home, Cai Lianfang instructed her husband to cook a big meal for their daughter.

Lin Dahai hesitated, "Wife, we ate all the food in the fridge last night, have you forgotten?"

Cai Lianfang rolled her eyes impatiently, picked up her phone and transferred 100 yuan to Lin Dahai. "Go to the vegetable market behind and buy some vegetables. This is all the money I have. You can decide what to do with it."

Lin Fei pretended to be very sad and said, "Dad, Mom, you've suffered these past two years. It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone abroad and taken that money, your lives wouldn't have been so difficult."

Cai Lianfang waved her hand, "Silly girl, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. You're already pregnant with the Lin family's eldest grandson, and our hard times will soon be over. I'm telling you, you must listen to me from now on."

“We can’t compromise, we absolutely can’t abort this child. This is our cash cow. You know, people used to say that a mother’s status depends on her son. Your future, your father’s and my future depend on this child.”

Lin Fei nodded, "Yes, Mom, I won't compromise. My goal is to become the young mistress of the Lin family. I must get that position and I must beat Qiao Ran. I've been suppressed by her for so many years since I was a child. I can finally hold my head high."

Lin Dahai, however, was worried. "But, daughter, I think that Lin fellow is a tough nut to crack. What if he forces you to abort the child?"

Cai Lianfang rolled her eyes at her husband. "What are you afraid of him for? No matter how tough he is, he still has to be reasonable. He got our daughter pregnant, so he has to take responsibility for it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, but she quickly suppressed it. "Dad, I'm hungry. Why don't you go buy some groceries and cook dinner? And could you also buy me a couple of sugar pancakes to tide me over?"

Lin Dahai: "Okay, then Dad will go buy groceries first, and then buy you some of your favorite foods. Honey, you can start cooking the rice."

"Okay, go ahead, I still need to tidy up my daughter's bedroom," Cai Lianfang urged, while going to the kitchen to wash rice and cook, she said to her daughter Lin Fei, "Feifei, sit down and rest for a while."

Lin Fei sat down, supporting his back, and called out to his mother at the other end of the kitchen, "Mom, you don't need to work too hard. I'll stay for a few days and then go back to the Lin family."

After Cai Lianfang finished cooking the rice, she came out and said, "That won't do. We haven't registered our marriage yet. If you move into their house now, they'll look down on you. Listen to your mother and stay put. I'll make sure they marry you off in a grand and glorious way."

Lin Fei naturally wanted to marry into the Lin family in a grand and glorious way, but with Lin Mengchuan out of her sight, she always felt uneasy.

Seeing her daughter's gloomy expression, Cai Lianfang went over and sat down, advising her, "Lin Fei, men are very fickle. The more proactive you are, the more they despise you. If you ignore them, they will get anxious and take the initiative to pursue you."

"You've been too persistent these past two years, which is why the man surnamed Lin doesn't take you seriously."

Lin Fei pondered his mother's words and felt that they made a lot of sense.

Qiao Ran is the best example.

Ever since Qiao Ran left the Lin family, Lin Mengchuan has been like a lost soul. If Qiao Ran hadn't left, he definitely wouldn't be like this.

Lin Fei: "Mom, I understand. I'll listen to you and wait at home."

Cai Lianfang: "That's right. You can stay home and focus on your pregnancy. Give birth to a healthy baby boy for the Lin family. Once your child becomes the heir, will you still have to worry about wealth and honor?"

"Mmm," Lin Fei responded, biting her lip.

After Lin Fei left the Lin family with her parents, Sister Ju ran to the old lady Xu Ying's room and told her everything that had happened in the living room, imitating Cai Lianfang's tone of voice to amuse the old lady.

After Sister Ju finished speaking, she asked the old lady, "Madam, would you like to do something about this?"

Xu Ying pouted, "Why should I care about this mess? This trouble was caused by that brat Meng Chuan, and Shen Qingzhu was an accomplice. If it weren't for her supporting her son, would Meng Chuan have dared to do something so outrageous?"

"Meng Chuan has become the way he is today because Shen Qingzhu spoiled him. They should be taught a lesson, otherwise they will always be so self-righteous. As for me, I'll just sit back and watch the show."

Sister Ju was still a little worried, "What if Lin Fei's parents really hold a sit-in protest at the company entrance? If this gets around in Beijing, people will start pointing fingers at us."

Xu Ying: "What's there to be afraid of? This is called reaping what you sow. Lin Mengchuan did such a despicable thing, so he has to bear the consequences. Anyway, I'm almost in my grave, so what others say won't affect me."

"My only concern is Ranran. I hope this matter won't affect her. Oh, and ask Butler Liu to contact Secretary Zhang and ask him to come over in the next couple of days. I need to revise my will."

Sister Ju asked in surprise, "Madam, what do you want to change?"

Xu Ying replied with a firm look in her eyes, "I want to give my house and shops to Ranran so that she can live a worry-free life for the rest of her days. She can live a good life even if she doesn't get married. I will donate all the money in my account."

Sister Ju: "Madam, you mustn't do that. If the master and mistress find out, they will definitely make a scene for you."

Xu Ying: "Let them make a fuss. If they push me too far, I'll give my shares to Ranran as well."

Sister Ju: ...The old lady is willful.

Qiao Ran, who was at Zhao Mengmeng's house, never expected that a pie would actually fall from the sky and hit her. At this moment, she was focused on reading the script of the new film that Qi Muci was preparing.

Qi Muci and Ding Ding were in the kitchen watching a chef prepare dinner.

The chef was called over by Qi Muci from his hotel. He requested that the freshest ingredients be used and that the food be easily digestible, in case Qiao Ran felt upset in her stomach after eating it.

Zhao Mengmeng practiced yoga in her bedroom, not wanting to disturb Qiao Ran as she read the script.

Qiao Ran liked the script more and more as she read it, and she completely immersed herself in it. A voice in her heart told her that she had to get the role and play the female lead.

When Qi Muci went to the living room to call Qiao Ran to dinner, he saw her red eyes and immediately understood what was going on.

When Qiao Ran saw Qi Muci arrive, she quickly put down her script and forced a smile. "Brother Qi, is dinner ready?"

Qi Muci nodded, "Alright, let's go to the restaurant. I'll go call Mengmeng."

Qiao Ran nodded obediently and got up to go to the restaurant.

Ding Ding pointed excitedly at the large table of dishes and said, "Ranran, look at the chef's skills! I'm going to eat my fill tonight, and then I'll go play tennis to lose weight tomorrow. Come with me tomorrow!"

“Okay,” Qiao Ran replied with a smile, pulled out a chair and sat down. Looking at the table full of delicious food, her appetite was whetted.

Qi Muci and Zhao Mengmeng walked over, and Zhao Mengmeng tactfully went to sit opposite Ding Ding.

Qi Muci pulled out the chair next to Qiao Ran and sat down beside her.

Ding Ding raised her glass. "Come on, let's toast Brother Qi first, to thank him for preparing such a delicious meal for us. Brother Qi, we will definitely finish all of these dishes tonight, not wasting a single bite."

"Ranran and I have already made plans to play tennis tomorrow morning to burn off this energy."
