Yuan Ranran, who had gone for wool and come home shorn, quietly left the production crew. She did not want others to see her as a joke. Sitting in the car, Yuan Ranran scrolled through Weibo. It was full of people who were leaving negative comments about her. With her head lowered, there was no expression on her face. She hated Shen Que from the bottom of her heart.

After getting out of the car, Yuan Ranran sped up and returned to the Yuan Family. As soon as she entered, seeing that she had returned, her parents were quite delighted. They were not aware of what had happened on the internet. They had always been very satisfied with this daughter of theirs. Although she was not their biological daughter, she was gentle and lovely. Nothing wrong could be said of her. In contrast, Shen Que was not like a lady from a prestigious family at all. Therefore, they liked Yuan Ranran more.

“Ranran, why do you have time to come back today?” Mother Yuan greeted her warmly and asked considerately.

As soon as she saw Mother Yuan, Yuan Ranran immediately shed tears and threw herself into Mother Yuan’s arms. Seeing the extremely sad Yuan Ranran, Mother Yuan was very worried and hurriedly patted Yuan Ranran on the back to comfort her. While comforting her, she also asked, “Ranran, what happened? What grievances did you suffer? Tell daddy and mommy.”

“Mommy, Shen Que found someone to defame me on the internet. Now everyone is scolding me, so my manager asked me to come back and show myself in public for some time.” Yuan Ranran could not stop sobbing.

Mother Yuan had always loved this daughter of hers, and her heart ached when she saw Yuan Ranran in such a sobbing state. Thus when she heard Yuan Ranran’s words, she felt even more displeased with Shen Que.

“What? How can she be so excessive?” Mother Yuan cried out in surprise. While comforting Yuan Ranran, she turned to Father Yuan and said, “Look at what Shen Que has done. They’re sisters, yet she’s bullying Ranran like this.”

“That’s enough. Hurry up and call Shen Que back. How could she treat Ranran like this?” Father Yuan said sternly. He originally was not fond of Shen Que anyway. Looking at Yuan Ranran’s pitiful look, he only wanted to help her vent her anger.

“Alright, don’t be sad. Mom will call her back now to uphold justice for you.” As she said this, Mother Yuan took out her phone and called Shen Que twice. Both calls ended with busy tones indicating the other party was in the middle of a call. Only then did they realize that Shen Que had blocked their numbers.

Seeing that Shen Que had done as such, Father and Mother Yuan were even more determined to teach Shen Que a lesson.

“She actually blocked our numbers,” Mother Yuan complained.

“Well, hurry up and get a hold of her!” Father Yuan scolded loudly.

Mother Yuan felt wronged. Shen Que was quite a capable person in the sense that ever since she came back, so many things had happened at home. However, Shen Que seemed to be determined to sever ties with them. The whole family could not get a hold of Shen Que no matter what they did, so Mother Yuan had no choice but to borrow the maid’s phone.

After Shen Que answered, Mother Yuan preemptively said, “Xiao Que, how could you have blocked our numbers? You even bullied Ranran. Apologize to Ranran this instant.”

Hearing Mother Yuan’s accusations, Shen Que felt extremely annoyed. She had already left the Yuan Family, so what right did they have to try to control her? Besides, what did this matter have to do with her? Yuan Ranran was clearly the one who had attempted to slander her, it was not her fault that she had gone for wool and came home shorn. Now, Yuan Ranran was putting the blame on her instead, without distinguishing white from black. Shen Que swore she had never encountered such a stupid and evil person.

“What does this matter have to do with me? I didn’t do it,” Shen Que said nonchalantly over the phone.

Recently, she had been focused on filming, so she wasn’t too concerned about whatever was happening in the outside world. When Fan Cheng mentioned this matter to her, she had only taken a glance at it and didn’t pay too much attention to it. Now that they had come knocking on her door and were criticizing her without even asking why, Shen Que was somewhat disappointed..
