“Can you get the footage from the surveillance camera at the pond? Besides, there are still blind spots in the surveillance camera. You’ve made Xiao Mu unable to speak. Now, you can say whatever you want!”

No matter what, Gu Mei was unwilling to let anyone go through the surveillance camera. However, her words were completely useless at this moment.

Under the insistence of the Master, Xiao Ye, and Lauren, the surveillance footage was pulled out.

In the surveillance camera, Xiao Mu was the first to approach Lauren. He stretched out his hand, and Lauren counterattacked. Then, she kicked Xiao Mu into the pond, and Gu Mei came along later.

Only then was Xiao Mu rescued from the pond.

In the hotel’s surveillance footage, Xiao Mu followed her all the way. He even took the room card from the front desk and swiped it to enter the door.

Lauren took the opportunity to ask, “My friend came back from abroad. What’s wrong with me going to the hotel to look for my friend? But Xiao Mu, you directly took the room card to enter the door. What if I’m alone?”

“Think about what your intentions are. I think the existence of a person like you is a disgrace to the Xiao Family!” Lauren trampled on Xiao Mu.

If both mother and son could slander her like this, then she had nothing to hold back.

“From today onwards, get out of the Xiao Family!”

The old man spoke coldly. His anger soared to the sky. Unable to suppress it, the old man raised his walking stick and ruthlessly hit Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu could not make a sound, but his expression was pained and malevolent.

Gu Mei covered him with her body, and only then did the old man stop.

“Scram, all of you scram!” The old man had no patience at all.

Gu Mei, who had tears streaming down her face, had no choice but to help Xiao Mu leave.

Only Lauren, Xiao Ye, and the old man were left in the living room.

The old man let out a long sigh. In the end, he lowered his head and apologized to Lauren. “Ren, I’m sorry. Grandpa heard what they said and misunderstood you.”

“It’s okay, but Grandpa, there’s something I have to tell you. My friend can cure Xiao Ye, and she can even help Xiao Ye recover his previous appearance.”

“You have a request,” the old man stated affirmatively.

Since the old man was so direct, Lauren did not beat around the bush. She nodded. “Yes, after Xiao Ye recovers, I’ll have to trouble Grandpa to make the decision. My marriage with Xiao Ye does not count. I will return the betrothal gifts you gave me in full.”

Since her marriage with Xiao Ye came from the old man, since Xiao Ye was not willing to let go, then the old man would end it.

Xiao Ye turned to look at her, his eyes were cold and stern.

Lauren ignored him, she continued, “There are no feelings in my relationship with Xiao Ye. John sent me here that day without my knowledge. Moreover, I have many friends of the opposite sex. This is something that your Xiao family cannot accept. I also don’t wish to live my life where I need to explain myself at every turn.”

“Marriage is not child’s play! Since Grandpa gave the money to your father, it is a betrothal gift. In ancient times, when betrothal gifts were given, the ceremony was completed. Moreover, that night, you even paid your respects to the ancestors of the Xiao family.” The old man was surprised by Lauren’s words, however, after the surprise, his words were firm.

He did not agree with Lauren separating from Xiao Ye.

As he spoke, the old man stood up with his walking stick. “I’m tired today. I’ll go back to my room to rest.”

What else could Lauren say after such an obvious evasion?

“I advise you to give up on that unrealistic thought.” Just as Lauren was extremely speechless, Xiao Ye’s words were thrown at her coldly.

Lauren was already emotional. After hearing what he said, her emotions got even more intense!

“How is this an unrealistic thought? Xiao Ye, don’t you think this sentence is more suitable for you?”

“I’m tired too. I want to rest. Send me back to my room.”

Xiao Ye ignored Lauren and instructed Lauren.

Lauren glared at him, unwilling.

“Don’t forget that we have an agreement. There’s no one around. If you don’t help, who else is there?”

“Lauren, your grandmother, and your friend…”

“Shut up!”

Xiao Ye deliberately dragged out his words. Lauren, who could not take it anymore, cut him off coldly. After glaring at him, she pushed him upstairs.

Back to Gu Mei.

She brought Xiao Mu out. Xiao Mu kept hammering the things around him. Gu Mei stood in front of him, her tears falling uncontrollably.

Oh, there was also Xiao Ran beside her, who kept passing tissues to Gu Mei.

Gu Mei vented all her anger on Xiao Ran. “What use do you think you are? You can’t even help say a word for that scene today. What use is it for me to raise you?”

When Xiao Ran was three years old, she was pounced on by a Tibetan mastiff. She was so frightened that she had a high fever and could not speak after that.

Xiao Mu also liked to play with women. The old man was disgusted by this.

In this way, even if Xiao Ye’s legs were crippled, the inheritance would still be in Xiao Ye’s hands.

That useless man was carefree abroad.. How would he know that the three of them had been chased out of the Xiao family by the old man?
