As if sensing something, Shen Fenghua looked up and saw Shen Huixiu hiding in the shadows.

Just like her life now, there is no light at all.

She emerged from the dark corner, radiating gloom and filled with hatred. Her eyes glared at Shen Fenghua as if she wanted to tear him apart alive.

If Li Yanran didn't take her seriously, then Shen Fenghua would be even less likely to.

One of my defeated opponents.

Over the years, these two sisters, who are at odds with each other on the surface and even more at heart, have fought countless times. When they were young, Shen Fenghua was not liked by her mother and was suppressed by Shen Huixiu, unable to stand out. However, thanks to her bad temper, she did not suffer too much loss.

Sometimes I feel angry when I think about it. It's even worse now that I'm older. Shen Fenghua has a source of income and she stands tall. From then on, I'm basically always suppressed by Shen Fenghua and can't hold my head up.

The only sense of superiority, however, remained unchanged—it came from the love of Shen's mother.

But Shen Fenghua was different. From relying on her stubbornness when she was a child to earning money with her own hands, and then there was the flood at the steel factory, where Shen Fenghua risked her life to retrieve a batch of important documents.

That's when she finally gained a foothold in the Shen family.

Thinking back to when it first happened, everyone in the family, except for Shen Huixiu, doted on her.

Shen Fenghua was naive back then, thinking that they were all family and that they couldn't be related by blood, so she gradually let down her guard.

Then she learned what it meant for people's hearts to be fickle.

Thinking about it, Shen Fenghua wasn't particularly surprised that things had come to this point of severing ties.

All of this was predetermined, something that was destined from the beginning.

Since the bond between parents and children is weak, it's better to sever ties sooner rather than later.

Shen Fenghua curled her lips into a smile. "See? The troublemakers have arrived."

Upon seeing Shen Huixiu appear, Li Yanran laughed, "Well, you can forget about going back to sleep tonight."

Qi Nianping and Qi Nianan got into the car, but Li Yanran carried them out one by one and handed them to He Jun. "There's nothing for you to do here. The scene that's about to happen is not suitable for children. Take the children back and give them a hot bath. Let the two boys sleep in the same room as Dongdong."

"good."

Qi Nianping looked at the aggressive Shen Huixiu and was a little worried. "Auntie."

Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow. "Go back to sleep. Have you forgotten? Your aunt isn't someone to be trifled with."

That's right. Thinking of Shen Fenghua, who had forcefully rescued her and her younger brother from the den of wolves, Qi Nianping nodded. "Okay! Auntie, An'an and I will go back first."

"Go."

Shen Huixiu is a crazy woman. Who knows what disgusting nonsense she might spew from that filthy mouth of hers? It would be terrible if the children heard it.

As expected, Shen Huixiu looked at He Jun and the two children's backs and immediately mocked, "Oh, you can't have children, but you still got two sons for free."

"I just don't know if all this hard work in raising this child will turn into two unfilial ingrates."

The inability to have children is not only a pain for Shen Fenghua, but also for Li Yanran.

Countless times in the dead of night, she would dream of Shen Fenghua surrounded by children, one, two, three, the children laughing and shouting, always calling out "Mommy."

Others might not know, but how could Li Yanran not know?

Shen Fenghua genuinely loves children, but she will never have a child of her own in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Li Yanran's anger, which was initially seven parts, was now ten parts. Some people are just despicable; they can't even speak properly.

Unfortunately, before Li Yanran could even take the stage, Shen Fenghua nodded with a smile and agreed, "Yes, yes, you're right."

After all these years of fighting, Shen Fenghua had long been wounded by Shen Huixiu's unintentional remarks, and his heart had unknowingly hardened.

There's no way around it. It's such a soft piece. If you keep poking and prodding it, it should have developed calluses by now.

Of course, Shen Fenghua recalled how she had been hurt by the stupid remarks of the man she met on a blind date. To this, she could only say that not everything has the right to judge her.

Throwing soda at that person's head was the least of their worries.

“I raise my children because I want to. I’m willing to give them the best food, drink, and use the best things. These expenses are all my own free will. What does it have to do with you?” Shen Fenghua tilted her head and grinned. “Are you getting angry because you can’t get what you want from me?”

"Shen Huixiu, you're already seventeen or eighteen this year. You have no intention of getting treatment for conjunctivitis or anything like that. Are you just going to let it stay with you for the rest of your life?"

Shen Fenghua spoke slowly and calmly, but her words were sharp and barbed.

When it comes to eloquence, Shen Huixiu, who grew up in school and only thinks about jealousy and pettiness, is no match for Shen Fenghua, a seasoned veteran who has been immersed in society for a long time.

When it comes to harsh words, they have a whole repertoire.

She used to disdain arguing with people like that, but now... she feels good saying it out loud.

"you……"

Enraged that her thoughts had been exposed, Shen Huixiu stepped forward, ready to slap Chen Fenghua.

Shen Fenghua said that this action was quite familiar, as her mother had also raised her hand to slap her last time, and the result was...

Shen Fenghua grabbed Shen Huixiu's hand, pushed her away, and swung her arm to hit her.

*Smack!*

The sound was quite crisp. Shen Fenghua laughed, "What, didn't you get enough of a beating last time? Want to get a couple more?"

Shen Huixiu covered her face, "Shen Fenghua, don't go too far!"

Shen Fenghua laughed, "Is this going too far?"

"If I were to expose what you've done to the world, wouldn't you have no face to live in this world?" Shen Fenghua knew Shen Huixiu.

This person, he's always got too high an ambition, and he never realizes his own limitations.

She thought she was so beautiful that all the men in the world would fawn over her, shower her with affection, and vie to love her.

Unfortunately, apart from her mother, no one else is currently vying to love her.

Moreover, judging from what happened a couple of days ago, it seems that her mother's affection for her is on the verge of collapse.

Love is something that's always an added bonus. Everything Shen Huixiu has now is based on her mother's love for her. Once that love disappears, Shen Huixiu's tragic end will be inevitable...

Shen Fenghua narrowed her eyes. Let's wait and see!

"Shen Fenghua, you dare! If you dare to do this, then I'll pin it all on you!"

"Isn't it just a matter of mutual destruction?" Shen Huixiu thought. "Not only Shen Fenghua would do it, but I would too. If she's driven to the brink of death, then we might as well all die together."
