Chapter 447 Who's Stealing Whom?

She actually said that Wen Ni was [who called herself] Miss Hua's woman?

If I remember correctly...

From beginning to end, it should have been the Hua family confirming Wen Ni's identity, rather than Wen Ni taking the initiative to come to their door.

besides

It was somewhat surprising to Wen Ni that such sarcastic yet clearly mature vocabulary could be uttered so fluently by such a young girl time and time again…

The environment in which children from wealthy families grow up

It was indeed more complicated than she had imagined.

"Little sister."

Wen Ni's expression was aloof. She sat down and looked directly at Sang Yu. She asked in a flat tone, "Have you finished your winter break homework?"

Why are you asking this?

Sang Yu didn't answer, but instead asked a question with a sidelong glance.

For such a young age, he's already so wary!

"Nothing much~ I just came back unexpectedly to wish my uncle a Happy New Year, and I didn't expect to run into such a lovely cousin. I feel bad that I didn't bring you a gift for the New Year!"

As Wen Ni spoke, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, her eyelashes curving upwards.

"Speaking of which, my cousin Sangyu is about to start junior high school. She speaks so eloquently and uses words and sentences so effortlessly; she must be a promising student. When I get back, I'll have someone mail her a few sets of past exam papers as a little gift from your older sister!"

Sang Yu was taken aback at first, then angrily shouted, "What kind of weird gift is this?! I don't want it!"

"The child is too young to understand the adults' good intentions. Uncle Sang, Aunt Sang, what do you think of this gift? Isn't it meaningful?" Wen Ni completely ignored the jumping up and down Sang Yu, then turned to the usually taciturn Sang couple, "Learning more will help Sang Yu develop good character and personality."

"The gift from Miss Hua is of course the best!" The Sang couple smiled insincerely, only offering flattery and obsequiousness.

Seeing that they agreed, Wen Ni nodded in satisfaction.

Only Sang Yu could hold onto Madam Sang's sleeve, but no matter how much she threw a tantrum, it was to no avail. In the end, she could only sulk in silence!

The living room fell silent for a moment.

"Haha~"

Butler Bai gave an awkward smile, drawing everyone's attention.

"Master Chuan might be busy for a while longer, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks and tea in advance. Everyone is welcome to have a taste!"

After saying that,

Several maids then brought out the exquisite pastries one by one.

Sang Yu was still a child at heart. Upon seeing something delicious, she immediately forgot about her earlier unpleasantness and picked up a piece of pastry to hand to Sang Rou.

Sang Rou didn't answer. She remained seated there with a rather ladylike demeanor, shaking her head slightly, her brows seemingly always carrying a faint sorrow.

"If Sister Sang Rou won't eat, then I won't eat either!" Sang Yu threw a tantrum again, tossing the pastries onto the plate and pouting. "Seeing your faces and this woman's faces, who would want to eat? Humph! We'll go back after we've seen Aunt and Uncle!"

The girl's unbridled words and actions received no dissuasion from the Sang family couple. They wore seemingly embarrassed smiles, using the excuse that the child was still young to act recklessly!

Looking back now, it wasn't entirely just innocent childish talk.

Most of the things children say are things they've heard and heard from others, or at least some of them are instructed by adults to say them through the children's mouths!

Wen Ni lowered her gaze slightly, looking at the pastry that had been tossed back onto the plate, now broken and unsightly. A displeased downward curve appeared at the corner of her lips.

Standing to the side, Qin Yuan, who was constantly watching Wen Ni's expression and movements, immediately understood!

He took a step forward, his clear, cold gaze sweeping over the group.

“Mr. Sang, and Mrs. Sang, you are spoiling this Miss Sang Yu far too much! You have allowed her to behave so outrageously and repeatedly speak rudely to our Miss Wen Ni!”

"In terms of status, Miss Wen Ni is the second young lady of the Hua family! In terms of seniority, Miss Wen Ni is Sang Yu's older sister! In terms of upbringing, our Miss Wen Ni is generous and polite, but your Sang family is supposed to be a prominent family, so how is this how you educate your children? It's really unreasonable and presumptuous, and quite... shameful!"

Qin Yuan's words were sharp and straightforward!

Upon hearing her beloved daughter being reprimanded in public, Madam Sang's expression immediately changed. She broke her silence and stood up to speak for her daughter:

“Sang Yu has indeed been spoiled by us since she was little, but we are the ones who have the right to say it. Who gave you the right to say it? Besides, Miss Hua Er hasn’t said anything yet. What kind of manners are you, a servant, to be acting so arrogantly?”

Brutality and ferocity!

This appearance is even worse than that of Miss Sangyu!

The two sides were locked in a standoff, the atmosphere tense and volatile.

Sang Rou, who had remained silent like a statue, suddenly reached out and pressed her younger sister Sang Yu's shoulder. Her eyelids drooped halfway, and she looked as melancholy and pitiful as Daiyu. Her voice was just like her name, as soft as a gentle cloud that could be blown away at the slightest breeze.

“Sang Yu, Uncle Sang, Auntie, this is the Hua family home after all. Uncle Hua… ah, no, I should say… Uncle Hua has never liked noise, let alone pointless arguments. You should all keep quiet and not upset him!”

"Sister Sang Rou, that's just how you are. You're so understanding and considerate, always giving in and tolerating everything. In the end, you swallow all your grievances, and even what belongs to you gets taken away by others!" Sang Yu grabbed Sang Rou, her expression one of utter heartache for her poor sister.

Wen Ni picked up a cup of tea and enjoyed their performance.

Rob?

Who's trying to steal Sang Rou's things?

Also, why does Sang Rou call the Sang family couple "uncle" and "aunt"? Is it possible that Sang Rou is not the Sang family's biological daughter?

A series of sensitive words made Wen Ni's brow twitch!

She leaned back, slowly crossed one arm, her guard extremely high, and looked at them again with a stern gaze!

"So, my cousin Sang Rou lived in the Hua family villa for a period of time?"

"Of course! Our sister Sang Rou has lived here for at least three years!" Sang Yu said, one hand on her hip and the other holding up three fingers, her posture domineering.

Sang Rou, standing to the side, kept her head down, fiddling with her fingers, looking quite innocent and helpless in the situation.

"Three years?" Wen Ni's teacup rippled slightly.

"Wait a minute, Miss..."

Butler Bai suddenly interrupted to stop Sang Yu from continuing.

Then he hurriedly stepped forward and personally blocked the Sang couple's way. Even though he lowered his voice, Wen Ni could still hear the gist of what he said!

“Mr. Sang, Madam, Mr. Chuan said that what’s past is past and should not be brought up again! You know Mr. Chuan’s temper, and you probably don’t want to upset him, right?”

"Butler Bai, the key point is that we didn't bring this up; it was Miss Hua who asked about it herself!" The lady of the Sang family was quite aggrieved, looking dissatisfied.

"Please, say less!"

Butler Bai was caught in the middle, torn between two options.

“I’m not deaf, nor am I blind. You don’t need to hide things from me openly or secretly. Why not be frank and open about things?” Wen Ni’s cold and melancholic words interrupted their difficult tug-of-war. “Why play along and drag the child into playing the good cop and the bad cop?”
