Sheng Jingheng never expected that after so many years, his adoptive grandmother would still be the same awful person.

They wanted to ruin his reputation in public at the slightest disagreement.

He said coldly, "The moment my father died, you dragged your whole family to rob him of his compensation money, leaving me not a single penny."

"You even said I'm not your grandson and don't deserve money."

"Now that you're broke, you're trying to extort money from me again?"

The guests were surprised to hear this.

Some people who knew the truth remembered it.

“I remember that Aheng’s father was adopted, but his adoptive parents treated him badly. His brothers and sisters were all in school, but he was the only one who went to work in the fields.”

"At such a young age, she has to cook for the whole family and wash their clothes."

His older brother went to school, while he worked.

He does chores while his brother eats.

If it weren't for Sheng Jingheng's father's love of learning, and his habit of secretly listening to lessons outside the classroom while working, he would be illiterate by now.

Fortunately, Sheng Jingheng's father was a man of perseverance.

Not only did he become self-taught, but he also got into a good university.

In those days, being able to study on your own and take the college entrance exam was considered quite an achievement.

The school made an exception and waived his tuition fees, urging him to complete his studies.

Unexpectedly, Granny Luo wouldn't let him study.

They also made him give up his school place to his youngest son.

Sheng Jingheng's father naturally refused.

They started arguing, and he simply ran away from home.

He then earned his own money to study and got married.

His wife was a good woman; she didn't mind his complicated background and even cared for him.

Although their married life was simple and frugal, the couple was very loving.

When Granny Luo learned that her adopted son had not only gone to university but also found a good job, she immediately went to make a scene.

He needs to give up his workplace.

Sheng Jingheng's father refused, so Granny Luo spread rumors at his workplace that he was unfilial and that he and his wife were heartless.

In the end, Sheng Jingheng's father could no longer stay at his workplace and had no choice but to leave for Kyoto.

After arriving in Kyoto, he met Mr. Sheng, who appreciated him, and the two began working together.

As things improved, Granny Luo came looking for her again.

This time, I need not only work, but also money.

Sheng Jingheng's father was disgusted by their insatiable greed, but he couldn't do anything about it.

In those days, filial piety was highly valued. Even if your parents were worthless, or even if they were just your adoptive mother, you still had to be filial to them.

Sheng Jingheng's father was forced to send some money home every month.

He also has a family to support, so he can't give it all to them.

But Granny Luo was not satisfied with just a little bit and wanted him to hand it all over.

Sheng Jingheng's father refused; he could endure hardship, but he couldn't let his wife suffer.

Granny Luo felt she had to get rid of him, so she went to his workplace and made a scene.

When Mr. Sheng found out about this, he immediately sent him abroad.

If the person isn't there, it's no use for Granny Luo to come looking for them.

Granny Luo couldn't find anyone after that.

We have no choice but to go back.

It wasn't until Shengjing Heng was born that Granny Luo wanted to take the child back home in order to ask for money.

Sheng Jingheng's father naturally refused.

The child was the lifeblood of him and his wife; how could they possibly give him to Granny Luo?

Sheng Jingheng's mother was also afraid that something might happen to her in the future and that her child would be taken away by Granny Luo, so she made a will in advance.

He even told his boss about it.

Everyone in the workplace knows it.

That's why the child could be given to Mrs. Sheng.

Now they're here again, and Mrs. Sheng is extremely annoyed.

They were just about to have someone tow them away.

Sheng Jingheng waved his hand, indicating that he should come.

He saw Granny Luo squatting on the ground crying and making a fuss, but he didn't go to help her up.

Instead, he explained to everyone, "I'm sorry, you all have made a fool of yourselves."

“The Luo family used to torment my father in every way, and even after my biological father died, they wouldn’t let him have a moment’s peace.”

"Now they're coming here crying and making a scene; they're probably trying to extort money from me."

"I'll share more with everyone once I've investigated the Luo family's situation."

He doesn't go to work anymore, so he doesn't care how Granny Luo tries to ruin his reputation.

Granny Luo was taken aback.

I didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

I thought he was a young man, easily embarrassed, and would be morally blackmailed.

I never expected him to throw away his pride and even smear them.

Grandma Luo was furious, feeling that he was just as heartless as his father.

She cried out, "Aheng, I'm so old, and you still treat me like this. If your father saw you treating me like this, he wouldn't forgive you."

When Sheng Jingheng heard her mention her deceased father, his face turned cold.

"Don't mention my dad, you're not worthy."

His sinister appearance frightened Granny Luo, but she did not want to back down.

If she leaves today, no one will stand up for her in the future.

Then she started grumbling, "Your father was an orphan back then. I kindly adopted him, raised him, and sent him to university. He died halfway through his life and didn't take care of me in my old age. As his son, what's wrong with you taking care of me in my old age?"

"Or are you saying that now that you're successful, you're no longer going to support your elderly parents? Does your boss even know about this?!"

Seeing her acting like a jerk, Sheng Jingheng scoffed, "I don't even have a job myself, how can I possibly care about you?"

"I now depend on my adoptive mother's family for food and drink. Do you expect me to pick up trash to support you?"

Granny Luo didn't believe it.

"How could such a big wedding be short of money?"

Sheng Yueqing walked over, her eyes filled with disdain. "I paid for it all. Your grandson borrowed it from me, and he'll have to pay it back in the future."

"Since your grandmother is here too, why don't you help him pay back the money?"

He then took out a calculator and said, "There are a lot of tables today, a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, plus venue setup and clothing rental. All in all, I'll give you a figure of 100,000."
