“But you can’t separate Chen Chen and me like this.” Hu Wan stood firm and held Chen Chen’s hand that was holding hers. She grabbed it tightly and raised it to show it to Grandma.
“We’re really in love! Otherwise, why would Chen Chen let Ran Ran go overseas immediately after they got married? If you don’t let us be together now, even if Ran Ran comes back, won’t they still be living as husband and wife on the surface?”
Regarding this matter, Chen Chen’s family also knew that it was Chen Chen who had instructed them. However, when they thought about how the two of them had gotten married at the request of their parents and it was not a natural relationship, they thought that they should at least have a buffer between them. Therefore, they had agreed silently for Bai Ran to go overseas and look at the world.!!
Grandma thought about it and said, “You’re thinking too much. If our entire family did not agree on this, do you think Ran Ran could really be sent away? Do you really think you’re the one affecting Chen Chen?”
“Grandma…” Bai Ran shouted softly from the side.
Grandma turned around and returned to being that amiable-looking old lady in the blink of an eye. She gently patted Bai Ran’s hand and gave her a gentle gaze. Bai Ran immediately understood the motive behind this matter and smiled back.
“No! Chen Chen did it for me! He did it because he loved me and wanted to accompany me!” Hu Wan began to cry. “For so many years, Chen Chen almost did everything with me as the priority! But none of you agreed!”
“Stop crying. If you want to cry, go home and cry! Our family can’t stand this!” Grandma frowned deeply and said decisively, “Auntie Zhang, send the guest out!”
Auntie Zhang walked forward and said, “Miss Hu, I’ll send you out.”
Hu Wan still wanted to say something, but Chen Chen let go of her hand and let her go.
“Chen Chen, you… want me to leave so badly?” Hu Wan looked at Chen Chen in disbelief.
Chen Chen avoided Hu Wan’s gaze and said, “You’ll only become more and more awkward if you stay here today. It’ll make you more and more agitated. It won’t be good for your health either. Let the people who brought you here bring you back first. Go back and have a good rest. Don’t be angry again.”
“Chen Chen, do you know why I’m angry? Don’t you dare to say anything for me?” Hu Wan looked at Chen Chen, her face filled with disappointment.
“Go back first. I’ll tell you later,” Chen Chen replied deliberately.
Ever since he made Hu Wan’s condition worsen when he was young, and Hu Wan needed him, he had sealed himself and buried everything between him and Bai Ran.
Over the past ten years, even he had forgotten what his intentions were. He had only been doing what he thought he should do.
Instinctively, even he thought that he liked Hu Wan.
“Chen Chen, come with me.” Hu Wan looked at Chen Chen expectantly, hoping that he would choose her.
“Chen Chen, if you dare to leave with her, you’ll come back to this house to guard my spirit!” Grandma stood up immediately and shouted sternly, “Choose for yourself!”
Chen Chen did not even hesitate to stay.
Over the past few days, he had been feeling more and more conflicted when facing Bai Ran. It was only when that title subconsciously appeared and that dusty memory was recovered that he finally confirmed his feelings. The difficulties he faced after that was none other than because he cared about Hu Wan’s body.
At this moment, with Grandma’s threat, he immediately convinced himself.
Hu Wan walked out of the Chen family’s door with a determined gaze and said to herself, “Bai Ran, this is my last chance! You forced me to do this. Don’t blame me!”

Seeing Hu Wan leave in disappointment, Grandma finally sat down.
“At least you have a conscience.” Grandma looked at Chen Chen. “You haven’t thought of letting me die early.”
“Grandma, you’re making it sound too serious.” Chen Chen walked to Grandma and was about to sit down when he was rejected by her gaze.
“Stand there and reflect on yourself. You actually dare to divorce Ran Ran. Have you ever thought about our family?” Grandma said.
Chen Chen lowered his head and did not speak.
