Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide

Chapter 5

Zhan's Mother has been worried these past few days.

She's concerned about chaos at home. Her daughter, Zhan Yiran, is still arrogant and domineering, not someone who tolerates others easily.

The newly married daughter-in-law, Gu Nanyan, is reportedly even worse. Relying on her bit of beauty, she does as she pleases, attempting to tie up the entertainment industry's top stream, creating all sorts of scandalous publicity stunts. She's now being bashed by the entire internet.

Such a daughter-in-law stepping into the house is a disgrace to the Zhan Family.

Zhan Yiran can't stand this sister-in-law, the two are at loggerheads, creating a storm of chaos. If journalists get wind of it and report it, it will be another scandal.

Zhan's Mother is anxious to return home, but she can't get away at the moment.

Her little grandson, Zhan Ruian, fell ill, so she has to stay at the hospital.

Zhan Ruian, the only offspring left by her late second son and daughter-in-law, has been weak and sickly since childhood. He's also been diagnosed with autism and doesn't speak.

Zhan's Mother has put in a lot of effort to raise him to the age of 5.

The weather changed a few days ago, and a cold wind knocked little Zhan Ruian down. The illness came fast and furiously, developing into pneumonia within a day.

Zhan's Mother didn't dare neglect it, personally staying in the hospital for several days, not daring to leave for a moment.

Just now, the attending doctor came to inspect and said that Zhan Ruian could be discharged.

Zhan's Mother had the maid pack up, ready to go home.

On the way home, Zhan's Mother was extremely anxious, fearing a mess at home.

Zhan Lingfeng, the eldest son, isn't home, so as a mother, she has to hold up the Zhan Family.

The luxury car slowly drove into The Zhan Family Courtyard where Aunt Qian, the housekeeper, came out to welcome them, personally opening the door.

Zhan's Mother got out of the car, had someone carry little grandson Zhan Ruian in, then frowned, asking Aunt Qian, "How's the house? There's been no trouble, right?"

"Madam, rest assured, everything at home is very good, Miss Zhan and Madam are getting along very well."

Aunt Qian answered truthfully, but Zhan's Mother didn't believe it.

How could Zhan Yiran possibly get along well with Gu Nanyan? It would be good if they didn't fight.

Zhan's Mother felt that Aunt Qian was sugarcoating things to avoid worrying her.

She sighed softly in her heart. This home was already chaotic enough, and now they have a troublemaker as a bride, there will be more quarrels in the future.

Entering the main hall, she found it empty, and Zhan's Mother curiously asked, "Where's Yiran?"

Aunt Qian: "She should be in Madam's study."

Hearing this, Zhan's Mother frowned, wondering if the two girls were fighting.

Thinking this, she couldn't wait a moment longer and hurried to the third floor. Arriving at the study, it was quiet inside, no noise at all.

This made Zhan's Mother even more worried. She didn't even bother to knock and just walked in.

The first thing she saw was Gu Nanyan standing at the desk, holding a brush, and her hot-tempered daughter Zhan Yiran was actually rolling up Gu Nanyan's sleeves for her.

Not only that, Zhan Yiran was circling around Gu Nanyan, solicitously asking, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want some fruit?"

Zhan's Mother: "...."

She must be dreaming. This couldn't possibly be happening in the real world.

That rebellious daughter of hers, Zhan Yiran, has never poured a glass of water for her own mother, how could she possibly be so kind to Gu Nanyan?

And besides, wasn't Zhan Yiran supposed to be a punk little sister?

Where has her full head of red hair gone? Where has her smoky makeup disappeared to?

Could this girl standing before me, wearing a white dress, her long black hair cascading down, her face bare of any makeup, really be her daughter?

The shock was so intense that Zhan's Mother had to pinch her own thigh several times to regain her senses.

Aunt Qian, thinking she was in discomfort, rushed over to offer her support.

The commotion at the entrance caught Zhan Yiran's attention. Seeing her mother return, she rushed over in delight, "Mom, you're back? How's Ruirui? Is he feeling better?"

"You..."

Zhan's Mother looked up, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at the young girl in front of her.

Her daughter's face had always been covered in heavy makeup, and it had been so long that she had forgotten what her daughter truly looked like. The girl standing before her was unrecognizable.

Zhan Yiran touched her own cheek shyly, "Mom, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Zhan's Mother shook her head, only managing to squeeze out a sentence after a long moment, "Why have you changed so much?"

"Indeed, I've changed a lot. Isn't this change good?"

Zhan Yiran twirled around, lifting the hem of her dress, boasting with pride, "Mom, don't I look like Sister-in-law? We're even wearing the same style of dress. It's just a shame that my hair isn't long enough yet. Once it grows a bit more, I'll look even more like her."

Zhan's Mother noticed the term 'Sister-in-law' that her daughter used, and found it hard to believe, "What did you call Gu Nanyan?"

"Sister-in-law."

Zhan's Mother: "..."

She couldn't hold back anymore and reached out to touch her daughter's forehead. She suspected that Zhan Yiran was running a fever and that it had affected her brain, causing her to talk nonsense.

She clearly remembered that just a few days before the wedding, Zhan Yiran had been yelling and screaming at home, declaring that Gu Nanyan was a fallen woman, not worthy of her brother, and wanted to kick her out of the house.

And now, it had only been a few days, and she was already affectionately calling her 'Sister-in-law'.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Zhan Yiran swatted away her mother's hand from her forehead, looking displeased. She whispered, "You all should go out. You'll disturb Sister-in-law. She's practicing her calligraphy."

And just like that, Zhan's Mother was pushed out by her daughter.

Returning to the living room downstairs, Zhan's Mother sat on the couch in a daze.

How could this be? Why was this so? This was nothing like what she had imagined, not one bit.

Zhan's Mother called Aunt Qian over and asked about what had happened in the past few days, "What's going on with Yiran? How did she get so close to Gu Nanyan?"

Aunt Qian replied as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Madam is understanding and intelligent, full of personal charm. It's very normal for Miss Third to like Madam."

Zhan's Mother: "..."

It's over. Even the housekeeper is acting strange.

Zhan's Mother called over a few servants, questioning them one by one.

The servants replied with full admiration:

"Madam is like a princess. I feel at peace when I'm around her."

"No, no, no, you're wrong." One of the servants retorted, "Madam is like a morning star. She knows everything. With just a casual guidance, she enlightened me about my future path."

"Madam is truly wonderful. Those people on the internet who slander her simply don't know her."

Zhan's Mother: "..."

It's over, the house is done for. She had only been gone for a few days and her nest had been invaded. The entire Zhan Family had been conquered by Gu Nanyan.

Gu Nanyan is toxic!

She needed to meet this Gu Nanyan. If he had any tricks up his sleeve or harbored ill intentions, she would definitely drive him out of the Zhan Family.

Zhan's Mother's entire being ignited with a blazing fighting spirit. She was determined to protect the Zhan Family and topple all kinds of schemes and intrigue.

She would show no mercy to anyone who wanted to destroy the Zhan Family.

Zhan's Mother suppressed her emotions, stood up, and walked towards the third floor once again.

Just as she reached the elevator entrance, a servant rushed over to report, "Madam, something's happened... Young Master Ruirui, he..."

"What happened to Ruirui?"

Zhan's Mother's heart sank, and she asked hurriedly.

The servant looked anxious, "Young Master Ruirui has smashed everything in his room and won't let anyone near."
