Song Huwenâs face was ashen; she never expected Mr. Su and Su Hai would also come.
"Everyone, calm down. Iâll give you all an explanation," Mr. Hai stood at the door, signaling the maid to support Song Huwen.
To show respect for the elders, Sheng Ning cooperatively let go, but her tone was still uncompromising. "Grandpa Hai, originally I didnât want to blow things out of proportion. But Song Huwen drugged my husband, and she did it through intravenous infusion. Do you know how dangerous that is? If something were to happen, I would go to your Hai Familyâs door and shoot myself."
The phrase "shoot myself" was spoken with incredible ferocity, the seriousness in her tone wasnât meant to scare or joke around, causing those around to look at her in astonishment.
"My dear granddaughter, donât scare me, Iâm too old to take any fright." Mr. Suâs face turned pale as he went to hold Sheng Ning, patting her hand saying, "If you feel wronged, just tell me. Iâll back you up. If anyone dares to bully you, Iâll teach them a lesson." He then gave Song Huwen a glare.
Everyone knew what he meant by those words.
Mr. Hai swayed unsteadily, barely able to stand, fortunate that Ji Lihua was supporting him.
"Enough, Old Su, isnât our place chaotic enough? Stop adding to the mess, letâs disperse quickly!" Mr. Hai said impatiently, "Everyone disperse! Iâll handle what Huivven did, wonât tolerate it."
"Alright, I trust you."
The farce quickly ended, Sheng Ning supported the old man back home, pursing her lips without speaking on the way.
The old man couldnât help but speak on behalf of his old friend, "Ningning, donât be angry. The Hai Family faced some trouble today, itâs all quite troubling."
"Is it about Chairman Hai being cuckolded?"
Su Hai, following behind, nearly stumbled. How could this girl boldly bring up the issue of being cuckolded? Itâs known to be the deepest pain for a man.
"Hehehe..." The old man wanted to laugh but held it back as it wasnât a good thing, "Itâs Zhou Yuan, she committed suicide in the detention room, and Iâm guessing youâll receive the funeral notice tomorrow."
"What?" Sheng Ning was stunned, "How could this happen?"
"Zhou Yuan was arrogant and conceited; choosing suicide isnât surprising." Especially with Hai Yunfeng around, dying would have been easier for her.
Living would be more painful than dying.
It was thought she was foolish, but at the end, she seemed to have wised up.
Sheng Ning became silent, reflecting on her earlier attitude, feeling a bit guilty towards Mr. Hai, "Was I too excessive earlier? Is this adding insult to injury?" She didnât feel sympathy for Zhou Yuan; everyone makes their own choices, and death is a choice too.
But making Mr. Hai deal with this at such an age made her feel quite apologetic.
"Itâs nothing, youâre overthinking. Old Hai has a strong heart! These little troubles truly are nothing to him."
Sheng Ning was impressed; for her, this would certainly not be a small issue. Truly, big figures who have weathered storms are incomparable to ordinary folk like them.
"That Song Huwen is too bold, trying to steal a son-in-law from our Su Family."
Sheng Ning abruptly halted.
"Whatâs wrong? Why arenât you moving?"
"I have to go back; I left home with guests to entertain, and thereâs still a whole family of people I havenât attended to yet!" Thinking of her actions, Sheng Ning felt quite embarrassed.
A bit impulsive.
