After saying that, she glanced sideways at Sheng Ning and said loudly for everyone to hear, "When Aunt Su Yun went to see me, she told me personally. Youâre not her daughter at all, Qin Cuifen is her daughter; you just schemed to impersonate her."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Anâan was about to explode from anger at this vile woman.
"Iâm not spouting nonsense." Hai Lan sneered, looking at Anâan as if she were looking at a pile of trash, "Your sister! Sheâs just a manipulative and vicious person. She thinks she can enjoy pretending to be someone else for her whole life? Hmph! Sooner or later, weâll know the truth."
"Youâre just slandering. Youâre nothing but a little beggar, and you dare to speak ill of others." Chen Huaying had spoken to her, and had pointed out many of Hai Lanâs flaws, every single one was despised.
She now deeply sympathizes with the missing Baoâer of the Hai Family; how could such a wicked woman claim everything for herself? So foolish. If it were her, she surely would come back to seize what belongs to her.
"Youâre the little beggar."
"Everyone knows youâre the little beggar." Anâan glared at Hai Lan, "Do you really think just wrapping yourself up can change that? In your bones and soul, youâre still insecure. I pity you."
"You..." Hai Lan didnât expect this country bumpkin to become so articulate after just a few days apart. She was about to get angry when Zhou Yuan tugged at her sleeve.
"Alright, stop it. Bickering with people who have no manners only makes you look unrefined."
"Mom, youâre right."
The mother and daughter looked disdainfully at Sheng Ning and the others.
"Anâan, you too, stop it. Some peopleâs true faces are about to be revealed, letâs see how they still remain smug."
The look in Sheng Ningâs eyes made Zhou Yuan even more uneasy.
"Letâs go, letâs go inside!" Xu Qigang hadnât said a word, but the aura he emitted made Zhou Yuan and her daughter unconsciously take a step back.
But as the three were about to enter, Xu Qigang gave them an inadvertent glance that almost made their legs go weak and fall to the ground.
"Xiao Ning." Xu Qigang discreetly touched her hand.
"Iâm fine!" Sheng Ning said casually, "Su Yun is just a passerby in my life; no matter what she says or does, I wonât care."
Only those she cares about can hurt her; those insignificant remain her enemies.
Against enemies, she never shows weakness or retreat.
Xu Qigang quietly watched her, and in the end, couldnât help but secretly clasp her hand tightly in his palm.
Sheng Ning tried to shake it off, but his grip was firm, and after several attempts, she couldnât break free.
"Arenât you afraid of gossip?" She remembered before they got married, he acted like they werenât acquainted when walking together.
"Iâm holding my wifeâs hand, what do others have to say?" Some people thought theyâd never do certain things in a lifetime, even without considering it. But now holding his little wifeâs hand, Xu Qigang thought let them gossip!
Let them say what they will! He didnât care at all.
"Youâre here? This way, please." President Zhu personally came to greet them.
"Dashan." Anâan was delighted to see President Zhu, "Did you help me investigate thoroughly?"
"Yes, itâs all clear now. Anâan, you handle the final case. Captain Xu and Comrade Sheng Ning wait in my office for a while." President Zhu made the arrangements well.
After Group Leader Liu led the people away, the two followed President Zhu to his office to wait. Not long after, Zhou Yuan also arrived, but she was obviously uneasy, sitting down without a word, just constantly drinking water.
