"I... I was the one who met him first. He saved me back then, and I said I would devote my life to him."
"Hehehe..." Sheng Ning sneered, "Turns out he saved an ingrate? Iâve noticed your Hai Family is quite good at taking in ingrates."
"What do you mean? Are you trying to insult my mother?"
"Exactly as you understand it, literally." Each one of them, none are good. Are the Hai Family blind? Clearly, Mr. Hai is decent, and Hai Yunfeng seems formidable.
Why did they all turn out blind and raise such people?
"Sheng Ning, treating me like this, my mother wonât let you get away with it. Just you wait! Just you wait! Sheâll definitely make you pay for this."
"Sure! Iâll be waiting." Sheng Ning lowered her head, looking down at her, "From your expression, your mother seems impressive? Indeed, an orphaned friendâs daughter, an adopted girl, can stir up such a storm in the Hai Family. I heard back then she almost married Hai Yunfeng? What a pity, if sheâd married Hai Yunfeng, wouldnât you be the dignified daughter of the Hai Family?"
"You..." Song Huwen gritted her teeth in anger, "How do you know these things?"
"If you donât want people to know, you shouldnât do it. What your mother did back then wasnât honorable. Otherwise, why would she have been married off to a remote Southern Small City? If she hadnât done anything wrong, why wouldnât she come back all these years?" Sheng Ning curled her lips into a smile, a smile particularly glaring in Song Huwenâs eyes.
"I heard Mr. Hai initially wanted to introduce your mother to a son from a truly first-class noble family of his old leader. But your mother was too greedy, setting her sights on someone with a fiancée already..."
"Stop, stop. Thatâs not how it is, it canât be like that." In Song Huwenâs heart, Han Xiaoqiu was always gentle, understanding, and a well-mannered noblewoman. How could she be the person described? Sheâs definitely slandering, sheâs definitely jealous of her perfect family.
"I guess your mother still canât let go, can she?"
"No, no way. Thatâs just my uncle, only my uncle."
"Too bad, Han Xiaoqiu wanted him to be your father back then."
Just as they were talking, the car had already pulled up to the General Union Courtyard and was stopped by the guard.
"Who are you? Stop for inspection and show your pass."
Sheng Ning climbed out from the back of the car, aggressively saying, "Itâs me, open the gate."
"Let her through." The guard seemed to have heard of her fierce reputation, and upon seeing Mr. Suâs granddaughter, opened the gate without a word.
Usually, itâs rare for trucks to enter the General Union Courtyard. The roaring sound drew a lot of attention, and by the time they reached the Hai Familyâs door, quite a crowd had gathered.
Su Hai supported Mr. Su at the door, looking furious.
Sheng Ning yanked Song Huwenâs hair as they jumped off the car, "It hurts, let go. Let go..." Song Huwen, mindful of her image and dignity, didnât dare to struggle too hard, nor did she dare to utter any curses.
If she were to say something like Hai Lan, her painstakingly maintained image would be completely ruined.
"Humph!" Mr. Su snorted coldly, "Old Hai, look at this, when the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked, what are these things." Because she was the adopted daughterâs child, Mr. Su showed no mercy, saying the harshest words possible.
