An Jinran noticed that when she called her mom, Ling Muyuan frowned obviously, with a look of disdain on her face, but said nothing.
This made An Jinran very confused.
"Since you said that, I won't beat around the bush." Ling Muyuan didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so after hearing what she said, she simply opened up the topic and said, "I believe Ayu's father is being raped.
You have also heard about the investigation. I don’t need to say more about the reason. I believe you know it yourself. Since you are married to Ayu, no matter whether we admit you or not, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the daughter-in-law of our Yan family.
.Don’t blame us for being unreasonable. Many things are not as simple as you think. You have a father like that. Let alone our family, I believe that even ordinary families would find it difficult to accept a daughter-in-law like you."
"Of course, it's meaningless to say this now. Whether we admit you or not, you are already tied to our family. For the reputation of our Yan family, and for the official career of Ayu's father, I hope you can
Disown your father."
"Of course, I'm not asking you to stop contacting each other in the true sense. I just hope that you can make a statement to the outside world. This will also reduce outside speculation about our Yan family."
Before An Jinran could answer, Yan Yu spoke first and said, "This is impossible. Mom, please don't force yourself to do anything difficult."
Ling Muyuan glared at him, "I didn't ask you, I'll settle your account with you later." Then she turned to An Jinran and said, "What did you say?"
"I..." An Jinran pursed her lips, looking embarrassed.
She could understand Ling Muyuan's request, but she really couldn't do it to sever ties with her family.
It was best for Yan Yu to answer helpfully: "That's enough, Mom, since I married her, I naturally accepted her family. If you want her to sever ties with her family now, what will happen to her? Others are behind her back."
What will be said about her?"
"What about your dad? Don't you need to worry about it?" Ling Muyuan looked at him with slightly disappointed eyes, and her words were undisguisedly fierce.
"The higher ups just sent people to investigate my dad. As long as my dad is innocent, what are they afraid of?" Yan Yu replied coolly, looking unworried.
"Do you know what it means to be afraid of people's words?"
Yan Yu chuckled and said righteously: "I only know that if you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. As long as my father has done nothing wrong, he is not afraid of others investigating. Or...are you afraid that those things about you back then will be dug up?
"
"you……"
Ling Muyuan's face showed an expression of worry, shock and anger.
Before the other party could ask, Yan Yu had already admitted to himself: "You don't have to look at me like that, I already know everything that happened back then."
Then he looked directly at the other person and continued slowly and in a calm voice: "Everyone has times when they were young and impulsive. We should learn to understand our past, our choices, and what we have done.
I have to take responsibility for the matter. Since I married her, I have the obligation to protect her and protect her from anyone, including you..."
"Also, it's true that she married me, but she has no obligation to sacrifice for anyone, let alone our family. I hope you can understand this. Don't ask her to do something she doesn't have to do in the future.
There is nothing we have to do. We still have to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Let's go ahead and eat slowly by yourself." After saying that, he pulled An Jinran up and walked out of the restaurant, leaving Ling Muyuan to sit alone.
In the private room, he was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face was ashen.
