"Call us if you need anything, no matter how late it is, don't be afraid to bother us."

Xiao Sun chimed in, "Yes, Sister Guilan, you should rest well. We'll come see you again tomorrow."

After saying that, the two reluctantly left the lounge.

In the lounge, only Chu Yu remained with Chen Guilan.

Chen Guilan looked at Chu Yu with a puzzled expression and said, "Chu Yu, why haven't you gone home yet? It's getting late, hurry home."

Looking at Chen Guilan's appearance after applying the medicine, Chu Yu felt as if each wound was a knife piercing her heart.

Her nose twitched suddenly, and her mind involuntarily recalled her shameful and embarrassing past.

Suddenly, she could no longer hold back, took a step forward, hugged Chen Guilan tightly, and began to sob softly.

"Gui Lan, why is life so hard for us women?"

“My second husband is a beast who covets his stepdaughter. Your husband is also a beast who wants to sell his daughter Er Ya and is addicted to drugs.”

"What did we do wrong to deserve this suffering?"

As Chen Guilan listened to Chu Yu's tearful account, she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She reached out and gently patted Chu Yu's back: "Chu Yu, don't cry. Our lives are hard, but we still have to keep going."

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to grit our teeth and get through it."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

The two embraced tightly and wept softly, telling each other about their tragic fates.

In the lounge, only their suppressed sobs and choked cries could be heard, as if the whole world was shrouded in this endless sorrow.

It took a while for the two women to calm down.

Chu Yu wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "If it weren't for the connections Chen Dong left behind, I don't know what would have happened."

"That beast Liu Dazhu has been caught this time, we absolutely cannot let him go so easily! He must pay the price for what he did!"

Chen Guilan nodded hatefully, her eyes flashing with determination.

"I won't let him off so easily! I'm not only going to divorce Liu Dazhu, I'm going to make sure he rots in jail!"

"He tried to sell my daughter and destroy our family. I will never let him succeed! I will make him pay the heaviest price for his evil deeds!"

Then, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Guilan.

She cautiously suggested, "Guilan, why don't you call your nephew Chen Dong and tell him what happened?"

"Let him see if there's any way to put Liu Dazhu in jail for life. He's so smart and has so many connections, he might be able to help a lot."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guilan hesitated.

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with turmoil.

Chen Dong, her nephew, has already helped her a lot with her family matters.

Even these chain stores of Sister Chen's Jewelry were only established with the help of her brother and sister-in-law, at the suggestion of her nephew.

It would be too much trouble to trouble my nephew again.

But after Chu Yu's repeated persuasion, Chen Guilan finally gritted her teeth, stood up, and slowly walked to the landline phone.

She took a deep breath, picked up the receiver, and dialed Chen Dong's number.

At this moment, in their small apartment in Beiping, Chen Dong was sitting comfortably on the sofa, with Chu Mengran in his arms, the two of them immersed in their sweet world together.

Suddenly, the landline phone in the living room rang sharply, breaking the silence.

Chen Dong released Chu Mengran somewhat helplessly and got up to answer the phone: "Hello?"

His voice still carried a hint of languor.

On the other end of the phone, Aunt Chen Guilan, her voice trembling with tears, recounted what had happened on her end.

As Chen Dong listened, his expression grew increasingly grave, his initial relaxed demeanor instantly replaced by anger and shock.

"Third Aunt, don't worry, I will ask Tsinghua University for leave and come back to deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"I will do everything in my power to make sure Liu Dazhu receives the punishment he deserves and spends the rest of his life in jail!"

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let him get away with this!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mengran looked at Chen Dong curiously: "Dongzi, what happened? You look so pale."

Chen Dong took a deep breath and briefly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengran's eyes were filled with sympathy and anger. She said without hesitation, "Dongzi, I'll also ask for leave and go back."

"I want to stay with you and help Auntie solve this problem. We can definitely do it together!"

Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, but looking into Chu Mengran's determined eyes, he finally agreed.

"Okay, let's go back together. I'll feel more at ease with you by my side."

He gently held Chu Mengran's hand, as if drawing strength from her.

Afterwards, Chen Dong planned to call Tiger to express his gratitude.

Chen Dong sat in his cozy little apartment, phone in hand, a grateful expression on his face, and dialed Tiger's number.

Tiger's gruff voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this? What do you want?"

"Brother Tiger, it's me, Chen Dong."

"Oh, it's Brother Chen Dong. What's up?"

Chen Dong said with a smile, "Brother Tiger, I came here specifically to thank you."

"Your little brother's little brother, Monkey, helped me a lot! If it weren't for his timely intervention, my third aunt would have been in danger."

Upon hearing this, the tiger was taken aback, his face full of confusion. He scratched his head and asked, "What did that monkey do? Why is Dongzi suddenly so grateful to him?"

But he still responded warmly, "Haha, Dongzi, what are you saying? We're all brothers, no need to be so polite!"

"But this monkey actually did something really impressive!"

He spoke politely, but his curiosity grew, and he decided he had to find out the truth.

So he instructed his men to tell Monkey to come to the KTV private room to see him the next day.

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the monkey was so excited that it couldn't sleep.

He figured that Tiger, the boss's boss, must have something good to tell him.

With this expectation in mind, he carefully dressed himself up and went to the KTV humming a little tune.

Upon entering the private room, Monkey saw Tiger sitting on the sofa, surrounded by smoke, with several henchmen waiting nearby.

The monkey immediately beamed and bowed, saying, "Brother Tiger, you were looking for me? Your little brother's here!"

Tiger exhaled a smoke ring, nodded, and waved for his men to turn off the music.

Then, staring at the monkey, he asked curiously, "Monkey, tell me, what exactly happened yesterday?"

"Why did Brother Chen Dong call specifically to thank you for helping him?"

Upon hearing this, the monkey's eyes lit up instantly, and a proud smile spread across its face as it eagerly began to recount its heroic deeds from the previous day.

"Brother Tiger, you have no idea!"
