"How have you been lately? Is work going well? Is Mengran busy at school?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled confidently and replied in a relaxed tone, "Third Aunt, I'm fine."

"The company's business expansion has been going very smoothly recently, and new projects are also progressing well."

"Mengran is doing well too. She can handle the school courses with ease, so you can rest assured."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Chen Guilan said repeatedly, her voice full of satisfaction.

“I knew you were a promising kid, capable of anything. Mengran is a good girl too. I feel at ease knowing you two are together.”

Just then, the bathroom door creaked open, and Chu Mengran walked out wrapped in a clean white bath towel.

Her hair was wet, and a few strands clung to her fair cheeks, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

She gently ran her hand through her hair, and frowned slightly when she heard the phone ringing downstairs in the duplex.

Chu Mengran asked curiously, "Whose call was it?"

When Chen Dong turned his head and saw Chu Mengran, his eyes were full of doting affection.

He replied with a smile, "It's my third aunt's phone, but it seems to be for you. Come down and answer the call."

Chu Mengran was somewhat puzzled.

She gently bit her lip, wondering what Chen Dong's third aunt wanted to see her about.

But she still walked down the stairs with light steps and carefully came to Chen Dong's side.

The two are now very close, and it's not unusual for them to be wrapped in bath towels in front of each other.

We've seen everything we need to see, and there's nothing between us to hide.

Chu Mengran answered the phone and said politely, "Hello, Third Aunt, what can I do for you?"

Because she was Chen Dong's girlfriend, and the two had a deep relationship and even had sex, she also started calling him "Third Aunt" like Chen Dong.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Guilan's voice became serious.

She paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Mengran, I have something to tell you, but you'd better be prepared."

Chu Mengran paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm mentally prepared. Third Aunt, please go ahead."

"Here's what happened. That beast Meng Zhengguo went to your mother, Chu Yu, saying he wanted to get back together with her and even wanted to bring you, his stepdaughter, back with him."

"If you just want to get back together with your mother, she would actually agree."

"But that beast, he still hasn't given up on his wicked thoughts about you, he wants you to have sex with him and have his child, it's absolutely insane."

“Under such circumstances, your mother certainly wouldn’t agree, and as a result, she was raped by that beast Meng Zhengguo.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengran's face turned deathly pale, her eyes widened in shock and anger.

Her hand gripped the phone tightly without her noticing, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her body trembled slightly. "How could this happen..."

She muttered to herself, her voice trembling slightly, as Meng Zhengguo's disgusting face flashed through her mind, and a wave of nausea washed over her.

Chen Guilan continued, "Fortunately, my staff noticed that your mother's emotional state was not right and told me."

"After I inquired about the situation, I contacted the connections Chen Dong had maintained."

"I asked some thugs, like Monkey, to cause trouble for Meng Zhengguo. They beat him up twice."

"The first time we cornered him in the alley and warned him not to cause trouble again, but he didn't repent and was still thinking about revenge, so we gave him another beating."

“He has now behaved himself and no longer dares to cause trouble for your mother.”

Chu Mengran's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

She choked up as she said, "Third Aunt, thank you so much. I really don't know what my mother would have done without you."

"You have helped us so much, I don't know how to repay you."

Chen Guilan said with a smile, "You silly child, don't talk about repaying me."

“After you graduate from university, you will be my nephew Chen Dong’s wife. Your mother and I will naturally be in-laws. How could we sit idly by and do nothing?”

“We’re all family, so we should help each other out when we’re in trouble. If you need anything else in the future, just tell your aunt.”

After saying that, Chen Guilan smiled and said, "Why don't you talk to your mother? She's been talking about you a lot and wants to hear your voice."

As she spoke, a slight noise came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that Chen Guilan had handed the phone to Chu Yu.

"Hey, Mengran."

Chu Yu's gentle yet slightly weary voice came through the phone, with a barely perceptible sob in it, as if she had just been crying.

"mom!"

Chu Mengran could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto the white bath towel, instantly leaving a dark stain.

"Are you alright? Are you injured? How are you feeling?"

She asked a series of questions, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.

"Mom is fine, don't worry."

Chu Yu comforted her softly, her voice trembling with a sob.

"Thanks to Guilan and all the people who helped."

“Especially Chen Dong, even though he wasn’t home, he still used his connections to help Mom solve the problem.”

"Otherwise, Mom really doesn't know what to do."

"Mom, it's all my fault. I wish I were here with you."

Chu Mengran said with self-reproach, her voice full of regret.

"I should care about you more and spend more time with you."

"Silly child, how can this be your fault?"

"The problem is that you're here with me. If you were here, that beast Meng Zhengguo might even..."

"After all, he came here specifically for you."

"It's my fault for being useless and blind. I remarried such a beast and almost dragged you down with me."

Chu Yu spoke, her voice filled with self-reproach.

"Fortunately, the matter has been resolved for the time being."

"Mengran, take good care of yourself while you're away, study hard, and don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."

"Yes, I will, Mom."

Chu Mengran wiped away her tears and sniffed.

"If anything happens in the future, you must tell me immediately. Don't bear it all alone."

“I’ve grown up now and can share your burdens.”

"Okay, Mom understands."

Chu Yu said gently, "You and Dongzi should get along well, don't worry your mother. Is he good to you? If he bullies you, you must tell your mother."

"We will, Mom."

Chu Mengran stopped crying and started laughing.

"Dongzi is very good to me, takes special care of me, and thinks of everything for me. You can rest assured."

Chu Mengran gripped the phone tightly, as if she could convey her concern and worry to her mother far away through the airwaves.

She tilted her head slightly, trying not to let the tears blur her vision, her voice soft yet filled with endless concern.

"Mom, you must take good care of yourself. You must eat three meals a day on time. Don't just eat whatever you want because you're busy or want to save time."
