"You..." Han Xiaoqiu softened her tone, "Little girl, Iām sorry, Auntie was too anxious and spoke a bit poorly. Please donāt be mad at Auntie, okay?"
"Thatās more like it. So, what is it?"
Han Xiaoqiu squinted at Anāan, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Anāan looked her up and down, shook her head, then nodded, and finally said, "Havenāt met. If we had, I would definitely remember."
"Oh! Itās nothing, I just felt you were familiar. Iām looking for Captain Xuās home, can you take me there?"
Anāan nodded, "Follow me then!"
"Thank you!"
Anāan led Han Xiaoqiu home all the way, and as soon as they entered, Sheng Ning curiously asked, "Werenāt you going to the convenience store? Why are you back so soon?" The house had started having mosquitoes, and Anāan had just gotten a few big bites. So she gave her some money to go downstairs to buy floral water and mosquito coils.
Anāan stepped aside, "Sheās looking for you!" After saying that, she ran back downstairs to buy the floral water.
"May I ask who you are?" Sheng Ning frowned, looking at Han Xiaoqiu and feeling an instinctive dislike. Recalling Su Haiās earlier warning, she suddenly realized, this must be Song Huwenās biological mother?
What gall, to brazenly show up like this.
Sheng Ning was sizing up Han Xiaoqiu, and Han Xiaoqiu was also sizing her up, eyes filled with unconcealed surprise. This face was even more beautiful than Su Yunās in her younger days, no wonder her daughter couldnāt compete.
"Hello, Iām Han Xiaoqiu, Song Huwenās mother."
"Oh!" Sheng Ning nodded, not even bothering with a āhello.ā
Chen Huaying was originally chatting with Wu Youli, but when she heard Song Huwenās name, she jumped up immediately. "You all go about your own business; Iām going to take a look." With that, she nonchalantly ran over to Sheng Ningās side.
"Comrade Sheng Ning, Iād like to have a word with you in private."
"Whatever you have to say, say it here!" She didnāt believe there was anything she needed to discuss with her.
"Exactly, what do you want to say?" Chen Huaying said angrily, "Talk about how your daughter shamelessly seduces other peopleās husbands?"
"Yingzi?" Han Xiaoqiu squinted, "Are you Yingzi?"
"Youāve mistaken me for someone else." Thereās no way she wanted to acknowledge her!
Han Xiaoqiu paused, realizing she had come here for nothing. She also blamed her daughter in her heart for carelessly offending others; with someone as profoundly connected and fiercely protected by the Su Family, the right move should have been to curry favor.
Even if she wanted to steal someoneās husband, it should be done secretly. Stealing in the dark is always more clever than openly taking it. Well, this girl is still too young. If she couldnāt be rescued this time, let her be locked up for a year, pay the price, and learn from the pain to become wiser.
Han Xiaoqiu always prided herself on being clever, so even though she realized her goal couldnāt be achieved, she immediately changed the purpose of her visit today.
"Sheng Ning, Iāve come today to apologize for my daughter. This girl just doesnāt know her limits, and I hope you wonāt take it to heart."
As the saying goes, donāt hit a smiling face; even though Sheng Ning knew Han Xiaoqiu wasnāt sincerely apologizing, she still had to maintain a polite demeanor.
"Thank you, I just hope she takes fewer detours in the future."
"Please be magnanimous and donāt hold it against her."
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow, why does this sound so awkward? What does it mean to be magnanimous? Does it imply that if she didnāt forgive, she would be petty?
"Isnāt Song Huwen older than me? Iām young and ignorant in her presence."
