Yan Ge wrote a post on his Weibo page, which read: "Regarding the hundred-million-dollar ring, Erlan and I were just joking about it, but my mother overheard our conversation and caused a misunderstanding. She got the wrong idea about Erlan and thought that Erlan had really asked me to buy her a ring that costs a hundred million dollars. However, that's far from the truth. To all media personnel, thank you for your concern, but this concerns my personal life and I hope that you'll allow me the privacy to handle it accordingly on my own."

There was nothing wrong with his post.

However, that was all he explained.

In other words, he had agreed with Mrs. Yan's statement by failing to deny it.

That included everything Mrs. Yan had said about Fang Erlan being extremely unfilial and putting on airs despite not being a big shot.

He had merely clarified the matter regarding the diamond ring.

Fang Erlan opened the comments section of his latest Weibo post.

It turned out to be exactly like what she had expected.

It seemed as if the netizens had become justice warriors who were analyzing and discussing the matter.

"It might be a joke, but I'm guessing Fang Erlan must have been the one who brought it up. She's just being scheming and indirectly asking Yan Ge for a diamond ring. He would definitely have to get her an expensive one, even if it doesn't cost a hundred million dollars. Tsk, tsk, I've known it all along that this woman is a real piece of work."

"Seems like everything that Mommy Yan said is real. Otherwise, why did Yan Ge only clarify the matter about the diamond ring? There must be something more to this."

"Mothers always want the best for their sons. I believe everything that Mommy Yan had said. One look and you can tell that Fang Erlan is not a decent woman. She just tried to seduce Yan Ge using her looks and youth."

"Yan Ge, it's time you wake up and stop being fooled by this wretch, Fang Erlan! Even a random female fan of yours is going to be better than her!"

…

Fang Erlan responded to the incident by posting a short message on her own Weibo page — "The wise man knows he knows nothing."

Xiao Yue held her mobile phone in front of Fang Erlan and said, "Sis, sis, sis, sis… hurry and take a look at this. It's reported here that the reporters have decided to visit your family in order to verify if you're a filial daughter or not. Your parents are currently accepting an interview."

"What?" Fang Erlan immediately called Mrs. Fang.

The call only went through after three attempts. Fang Yunxi was the one who picked up. "Sis."

"Are the reporters at home now for an interview?"

"Yes, Father and Mother are receiving an interview now. I'm in my own room. I understand what you're worried about, Sis. Don't worry, Father and Mother are enthusiastically singing praises about you," Fang Yunxi said gleefully.

Fang Erlan was dumbfounded. I'd count my blessings if they didn't criticize me, yet they're actually praising me too?

Did they decide to stand on my side on account of me being their biological daughter?

"Enthusiastically singing praises about me?"

"Of course, you're our family's blessing! You deserve the most credit. Sis, Brother-in-law is so affluent. This house is awesome. It's worth millions," Fang Yunxi said agitatedly, unable to contain his excitement.

Brother-in-law?

House?

"What house?"

Fang Yunxi answered, "Sis, you're still unaware about it? Brother-in-law is really great at keeping secrets. Brother-in-law sent all of us to Dongtian Estate in the city half an hour before the reporters arrived. Everything inside the house was well decorated and furnished. He told us to tell the reporters that you had bought the house for us. He even gave Father a small saloon car and had a few drinks with him. He's so affluent. Sis, Brother-in-law really dotes on you. You have no idea how elated Father and Mother are now."

Fang Erlan knew that the brother-in-law whom her brother was referring to was definitely Yan Ge. After all, the whole world knew that she was dating Yan Ge right now.

Turns out Yan Ge is really meticulous. He shouldn't have gone to that expense. It must have cost him at least a few million…

A frown creased Fang Erlan's forehead. If Auntie finds out about this, she's going to hit the roof…

Wait…

Fang Erlan asked, "He had a few drinks with Father? When?"

"Right before the reporters arrived. They did so a short while before he left."

"Yunxi, whose name is the house registered under?"

"Yours. Brother-in-law said that the house is registered under your name," Fang Yunxi answered.

"Mine?" asked Fang Erlan, who was puzzled. My personal identification documents would be required for the purchase and administrative procedures of buying a house, be it new or secondhand. Isn't that so?

"Of course. Brother-in-law wanted us to move in here. He said that this would be our home from now on."

Fang Erlan ended the call with a heavy heart.

Yan Ge's actions had caused her a great emotional burden.

"Sis, Yan Ge is here," said Xiao Yue.

Fang Erlan looked up to see that Yan Ge was walking toward her, dressed in period costume. His manager and Xiao Li were walking beside him.

She stepped forward and said, "Get inside the nanny van."

He nodded and proceeded to his nanny van together with her.

It became much darker inside the car after they closed the door.

"Thank you," she said.

"I should have done that. Although I had already posted that message on Weibo, there are still lots of netizens who are berating you. Don't bother looking at those negative comments."

"Your mother is going to blow her top if she finds out about it. I'll return the money to you."

Yan Ge asked in puzzlement, "Money? What money?"

"Didn't you buy my family a house?" Fang Erlan asked in bewilderment.

Shaking his head, Yan Ge answered, "No."

Fang Erlan asked again, "Didn't you move my parents to the city?"

"No."

Who else could it be if it wasn't him?

Xiao Chenyang.

She could not think of another person who would do that for her.

Noticing that she had grown silent all of a sudden, he asked, "You mean, you don't even know who bought the house that your parents claimed you had bought in the interview?"

"You've seen the interview?"

"I did just now. It was a live-stream. Erlan, I'm asking you a question."

"I now know who had bought it," said Fang Erlan, who subconsciously felt more relieved and rid of emotional burden.

"Who?"

Fang Erlan avoided his question and instead said, "Yan Ge, why did you only clarify the issue about the ring? Your mother made so many false accusations against me, you clearly know that they're not true…"

"I've read everything my mother said. If I listed them all out one by one…" Yan Ge paused and did not finish the rest of his sentence, thinking that Fang Erlan should have understood what he meant.

However, Fang Erlan probed, "Then what?"

"That would be akin to telling the whole world that my mother is unreasonable and was cooking up stories. She's already old in her years. I don't want her to be berated by strangers when she's out on the streets."

Fang Erlan was speechless. She looked at him and said, "Yan Ge, I have something to say to you."

/

"What is it? Go ahead."

"You once said that you'll never treat me as your friend. Let's go back to having a senior-and-junior relationship. Alright?" Fang Erlan said.

"You're… breaking up with me?" Yan Ge asked with astonishment written all over his face.

"Yes."

"Is it because of my mother?"

"Your mother is not the main reason why I'm breaking up with you. Yan Ge, the issue lies with me."

Yan Ge had no idea what other reason there could be behind her decision to break up with him.

"The issue lies with you?" After giving it some thought, Yan Ge asked, "Is it because of Xiao Chenyang?"
