With Lin Anning's promise secured, Su Shuixian dried her tears and, supporting Zhao Chunhua and Tian Wangdi, contentedly returned home.
Zhang Fenglan's face was full of worry as she closed the door.
"Ning Nini! Mom always feels that they're up to no good, so why don't you hide in town the day after tomorrow and not come back? If push comes to shove, mom can just fight them."
Lin Anning shook her head and smiled.
"Mom, there's no need for that. They would love for you to make a scene!"
"Instead of worrying about them pulling dirty tricks behind our backs, why not just go and see what they're really up to?"
Zhang Fenglan furrowed her brows and took Lin Anning's hand.
"Alright, when the time comes, I'll go with you."
Since the second branch of the family hadn't split off yet, Zhang Fenglan called on family members to help out early the next morning.
Su Shuixian also asked Lin Anning to keep her company, not to do anything else, but just to help entertain the relatives and such.
