Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Has he forgotten the promise we made to each other?" Ran Qiuqin murmured to herself, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

She picked up her phone and planned to call her mother to tell her about her troubles. Ran Qiuqin's mother was a thoughtful and considerate person who often gave Ran Qiuqin wise advice and comfort.

"Mom, are you free now?" Ran Qiuqin's voice was a little heavy, revealing her inner anxiety.

The mother's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qiu Qin, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Ran Qiuqin sighed softly: "Mom, I'm a little worried about Mingjie."

"Oh? What's wrong with him?" asked the mother with concern.

"He... he seems to have some connection with Yan Jiedi." Ran Qiuqin said cautiously, "I'm worried that he will be snatched away by her."

The mother pondered for a moment, knowing her daughter's anxiety, "Qiu Qin, don't worry too much. Maybe you are just worrying too much. Mingjie has always been very good to you, I believe he will not give up on you easily."

After hearing her mother's words, Ran Qiuqin felt a little relieved. She knew that her mother could always give her the best support and encouragement at critical moments.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ran Qiuqin nodded, and she felt better.

"By the way, there's something I want you to find out for me." Ran Qiuqin suddenly remembered something, "Can you go to Yu Li's Xu's house to find out how Mingjie is doing recently?"

The mother thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

After hearing her daughter's request, Ran Qiuqin's mother, Ran Fang, also felt a little worried. She knew that the relationship between her children was too complicated, and if there was any fluctuation, it would probably affect their future. Therefore, she decided to go to Yu Li and Xu's house in person to find out.

The next morning, Ran Fang went out early and headed for the residential area where Yu Li and Xu's family lived. This residential area is located in the suburbs of the city, with a quiet environment, shaded by green trees, and a peaceful scene. Ran Fang walked through the winding path and arrived at the door of Yu Li and Xu's house.

She rang the doorbell, and after a moment, the door opened and an elderly man who looked a little old but in good spirits appeared at the door.

"Hello, I'm Ran Fang from the Ran family. I'm here to see Miss Yu Li." Ran Fang introduced herself with a smile.

After hearing this, the old man nodded in a friendly manner and motioned Ran Fang to come into the house.

"Li, there's a girl looking for you." The old man turned and shouted into the house.

After a while, Yu Li hurried out and showed a hint of surprise when she saw Ran Fang.

"Sister Ran Fang, why are you here?" Yu Li asked puzzledly.

"Oh, I'm just passing by and came to see your house." Ran Fang replied with a smile. She didn't want Yu Li to know her real purpose.

"Come in, sit down." Yu Li invited warmly. She took Ran Fang's hand and led her into the living room.

The living room is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a faint fragrance that makes people feel comfortable and pleasant.

"Please sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea." Yu Li said and turned to leave the living room.

Ran Fang looked around, and her eyes fell on a photo frame placed on the coffee table. In the frame was a photo of Yu Li when she was young and a handsome and sunny young man, looking very harmonious and happy.

Just at this moment, Yu Li walked in with a tea tray in her hand, on which were placed exquisite tea sets and fragrant tea leaves.

"Sister, come, let me pour you a cup of tea." Yu Li handed the tea to Ran Fang.

"Thank you." Ran Fang took the teacup and thanked with a smile.

The two sat in the living room, chatting leisurely about family matters. Ran Fang skillfully guided the topic and gradually led it to the marriage of Xu Mingjie and Yu Li.

"Li, I have known about your relationship since we were young. You have always had a good relationship." Ran Fang said gently, "I hope you can continue to be happy."

Yu Li listened and smiled, "Yes, sister, we will always be together."

When Xu Mingjie opened the door and walked through the hallway, the lights were still on, exuding a quiet warmth. He heard the sound of steam coming from the kitchen and realized that his mother was preparing dinner.

"Mom, I'm back." He walked into the kitchen and said to his mother with a smile.

His mother was busy cooking. She turned around and smiled at him, "Mingjie, you're back. Why did you come back so late today?"

"I went out to do something." Xu Mingjie answered casually, not wanting to make his mother worry too much.

"Okay, wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon," said the mother gently.

Xu Mingjie washed his hands and followed his mother to set the table. He noticed that in addition to the common dishes on the table, there were also several delicacies he had never seen before.

"Mom, what is this?" he asked curiously, pointing to a dish on the table.

The mother smiled and explained, "This is a new dish your father recently learned. He said he wanted to surprise you."

Xu Mingjie felt a little warmth in his heart. Although his father was not good at speaking, he always cared about them silently.

At this time, his brothers and sisters came home one after another. Xu Mingjie's brother Xu Mingxiang was a burly middle-aged man with a resolute look and a serious expression. His sister Xu Mingxia was a gentle and kind woman with a beautiful face and deep wisdom in her eyes.

Xu Mingxiang frowned when he saw Xu Mingjie sitting at the dining table. "Where did you go today?"

Xu Mingjie knew that his brother didn't like him coming home late from work, but he still answered calmly: "I went to register for university today."

Hearing this, Xu Mingxiang frowned even more tightly. "University? Why did you apply to university? Do you think you can get rid of these troubles by applying to university?"

Xu Mingjie frowned and did not answer his brother's words. He knew that his brother was doing this for his own good, but he also had his own ideas.

"Brother, I want to go to college and you can't stop me." He said firmly.

Seeing his brother's firm attitude, Xu Mingxiang was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Okay, since you have already signed up, go ahead."

Xu Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief, but this was just the beginning. He knew he still had more challenges to face.

At this time, Xu Mingjie's sister Xu Mingxia spoke up, "Jie, you've applied for college, but have you decided what you want to do in the future?"

Xu Mingjie was well aware of his family's concerns. He understood that they were worried that losing his support would make life more difficult. So he plucked up the courage to try to explain his thoughts to them.

"I know you are worried, but I don't intend to give up my family business completely." Xu Mingjie said slowly, with determination in his voice.
