"Mingqiang, did you go to Xu Mingzhi’s house?"

Lin Aiyin nagged, "I’m telling you not to associate with them anymore. No sense of filial piety at all. I couldn’t even borrow tens of thousands from them to buy insurance."

She cursed, "Xu Mingzhi lost such a good job and got fired, Li Fang is paralyzed, and Xu Xiaoyou is a total fool, useless. I see this as retribution! Even the heavens bring retribution to those who don’t care about their own mothers!"

"Mingqiang, if you continue to interact with them, you might catch something bad."

As she spoke, Xu Mingqiang’s expression changed, shocked that his own mother could say such unpleasant things!

He suddenly remembered that when his mother went to Li Fang’s house, she had encountered a young man, who seemed like a brute and even wanted to hit her.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down Xu Mingqiang’s spine.

He was well aware of his mother’s personality, always cold toward his eldest brother Xu Mingzhi’s family, even though he had a good relationship with Xu Mingzhi.

Xu Mingqiang was several years older than him, and during the first few years of his life, Xu Mingqiang took care of him, so he definitely had feelings for this elder brother.

But regarding his mother’s side, he felt powerless, unable to change her mind.

That aside, now the question arose: who was the person his mother had met with that got so angry?

He knew Qin Yun’s status; if Qin Yun was the one who got angry, the consequences...

With Qin Yun’s capabilities, would he retaliate against his mother?

Even if he didn’t take overt action, for someone as wealthy as Qin Yun, there were numerous means available to him.

With this in mind, Xu Mingqiang quickly asked, "Mom, what exactly did you say when you went to Big Brother’s house? And what’s the name of that angry young man?"

His mother had always loved to lecture, especially Li Fang and the Xu Xiaoqian sisters, often saying harsh words.

In the past, when Li Fang was being lectured, she would bow her head and remain silent.

Back then, Li Fang was powerless, but now her true family had found her, and from what he had seen earlier, the Qin Family was obviously very emotional.

After decades apart, in his judgment, the Qin Family was determined to make it up to Li Fang.

And with Qin Yun, who possessed a fortune of at least several billion, suddenly appearing behind the previously bullied Li Fang, would she choose to suffer in silence?

The influence Qin Yun wielded was enough to send most people straight to hell.

Despite feeling unhappy about the harsh words Lin Aiyin had said, Lin Aiyin was his own mother, and he didn’t want to see his mother face unpleasant consequences.

So, Xu Mingqiang’s first thought was to find out what had happened that day and then relay information about Qin Yun to Lin Aiyin, letting her know that she absolutely shouldn’t shout at Li Fang, but should do her best to improve their relationship.

As for his sister-in-law Li Fang, he knew her personality was quite good.

"What could I possibly say? I just wanted to borrow tens of thousands from Li Fang, and when she refused, I said a couple of things, and she gave me attitude, and that hooligan of a young man wanted to hit me!"

As her son spoke, Lin Aiyin instantly got angry and said, "Alright, I still have to play cards, I won’t discuss this any further with you."

She was preparing to hang up the phone.

"Mom, I’ll be right back, stay at home and don’t leave!"

Hearing his mother’s words, Xu Mingqiang felt quite helpless and quickly said, realizing their home wasn’t actually far from Xu Mingzhi and Li Fang’s place.

It was difficult to explain clearly over the phone, and with his mother’s personality, she was likely impatient to say any more.

Moreover, for something that was clearly his mother’s fault, from her perspective, it was always someone else’s wrongdoing. He decided to discuss it in person.

After hanging up, Xu Mingqiang hurriedly returned home with his son and daughter.

When he got home and stood outside the door, he could hear his parents arguing.

"You old fool, your eldest son’s wife gives me attitude, tells me to shut up, and you’ve said nothing all this time!"

Lin Aiyin’s voice came powerfully, accusing his father.

"Fang couldn’t possibly say such things, you must have said something hurtful again." Following her words, another male voice replied, seemingly filled with deep fatigue.

"Fine, blame me for everything! Your eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law, they can do no wrong?" Lin Aiyin cursed, "When I married you, struggled to raise your pack of cubs, I say, wouldn’t it have been better to toss them away back then, like Li Fang, who was probably abandoned by her family."

"Enough!"

Another voice shouted in anger, "How many times have you said that? You even say it in front of Mingzhi and Li Fang, do you know how hurtful your words are?"

"Who’s hurt? I’m only speaking the truth!" Lin Aiyin said defiantly, not feeling the slightest sense of wrongdoing, continuing her rant.

At this point, Xu Mingqiang couldn’t listen anymore, feeling his mother was really over the line.

The key was that knowing Qin Yun’s identity now, he was eager to remedy the situation, yet his mother continued her tirade, which certainly displeased him.

He opened the door and walked into the house, seeing his father sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered. His father, Xu Jiafu, had completely white hair and a slightly stooped posture, looking quite aged.

As for his mother, Lin Aiyin, she was pointing at Xu Jiafu, saying something.

"Mingqiang, you’re back? Help me settle this, listen to what your dad’s been saying..."

Seeing Xu Mingqiang, Lin Aiyin quickly spoke.

At this moment, Xu Mingqiang’s face was a bit stern, increasingly worried about what unpleasant things Lin Aiyin might have said to Qin Yun.

"Enough, you’re all getting on in years and yet you argue all day long!"

Xu Mingqiang frowned as he spoke.

Upon seeing his son, Xu Jiafu hurriedly asked, "Mingqiang, did you go to your big brother’s house? Are those people truly your sister-in-law’s family?"

"Yes, it’s true."

Xu Mingqiang nodded.

Hearing the confirmation, Xu Jiafu exhaled a slight sigh of relief, saying, "Thank Heaven your sister-in-law finally reunited with her own family after so many years."

Xu Mingqiang didn’t say much more, turning his attention directly to his mother, "Mom, what exactly did you say when you went to Big Brother’s family, in front of Sister-in-law and that young man? What did that young man look like?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Aiyin said disgruntledly, "What could I possibly say?"

She thought for a moment and said, "The young man looked about twenty, around Xiaoxin’s age, definitely a student."

Her face was full of disdain, "Really, that Li Fang’s family had no one left, so they sent a twenty-year-old kid for the reunion."
