Chapter 448 The Real and Fake Second Miss

“Miss Wen Ni, I don’t understand what you’re saying. What good cop/bad cop? Are we acting like actors in an opera?” Madam Sang chuckled lightly, still trying to play dumb. “Although my Sang family isn’t as powerful as the Hua family, we are still a respectable and prominent family in the capital. It’s just that the child was young and didn’t know any better and said a few things to you. Miss Wen Ni, even if you have a problem with us, you don’t have to be so harsh on us, do you?”

"Heh, you think you'll suffer? This is only possible because we're in the Hua family." Qin Yuan raised her eyes contemptuously and said in a low voice, "If this were any other place, someone as unreasonable and sarcastic as you would have been kicked out long ago!"

"Who dares to chase me away? You scoundrels who rely on your master's power!" Madam Sang's face darkened. "How can your servants have no manners at all? Miss Hua, please control your subordinates!"

"Him? I can't control him."

Wen Ni smiled faintly, calmly cooling the tea.

"Since Miss Hua can't handle this, why don't I teach her a lesson for you?" Boss Sang said with a stern face, stepping forward and grabbing Qin Yuan's tie. He then pointed a finger at Qin Yuan's nose and said fiercely, "You unruly brat, apologize to my wife for your arrogant words just now, and then get out of here right now! Don't get in my way!"

"Qin Yuan".

Wen Ni suddenly spoke up.

She took a sip of the cooled tea, her eyebrows sharply raised!

Qin Yuan understood again.

He looked arrogant and didn't take Boss Sang seriously at all. With one hand, he pried open Boss Sang's hand that was holding his tie and pulled it back forcefully!

"Splash..."

Boss Sang was completely powerless to fight back. He staggered and fell face-first onto a tea table, smashing all the cups and saucers on the floor to pieces! His wrist was still firmly pressed to the table by Qin Yuan, who had his tendons twisted, making him unable to move!

"Ah!! It hurts! It hurts so much! Let go of me!"

"You're not my boss, why should I listen to you?" Qin Yuan chuckled and wouldn't let go.

"You, you servant! Are you insane! Release my husband at once!" Madam Sang was stunned by the situation; she never expected Qin Yuan to make a move! Shocked, she quickly rushed to Wen Ni's side, urging anxiously, "Miss Hua! Tell your men to let go!"

Wen Ni ignored Madam Sang's urgency.

She slowly and deliberately rubbed the teacup with the lid, her expression serene as she inhaled the aroma of matcha.

Silence, silence, silence, silence!

"What... what should we do?" Butler Bai was also stunned. In the current situation, it seemed inappropriate for him to take sides.

"Let go of my father! You bad woman!" Sang Yu jumped up and down in a panic, trying to rush towards Wen Ni, but was pulled back by Sang Rou.

In the living room, a noisy mess of porridge being made!

"Miss Hua!" Madam Sang's blood pressure spiked, and she looked utterly pathetic, as if she were about to collapse. "What do you want from me to let my husband go? Let me tell you, your aunt is my own sister! If she finds out how you've treated us, she'll definitely not let you off easily!"

“Mrs. Sang, I didn’t mean anything by it. I told you, I’m not his boss, I can’t order him around.” Wen Ni’s smile was faint as she slammed her teacup onto the table. “And let me correct you, this isn’t feudal society anymore. There are no servants here. He has a legitimate employment relationship with his employer, and they’re practically brothers in arms! As an independent individual, he can discipline whomever he wants! And nobody can stop him.”

"What's wrong with you? Are you some kind of delinquent, hooligan, or gangster?!" The two sisters, Sang Yu and Sang Rou, held hands and stared nervously at Wen Ni.

"I've heard people say that Miss Hua comes from a humble background and is uncouth and vulgar! Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's truly such a despicable character and behavior, it's simply outrageous!" Madam Sang trembled with anger, speaking recklessly!

All pretense of kindness has been torn away, leaving only confrontation and utter ugliness.

"Who doesn't know that my Hua family dominates both the legitimate and underworld circles? You can't stand me like this?" Wen Ni smiled nonchalantly, even speaking arrogantly, "I have even more cruel and wicked things to show you. What? Want to see them?"

"ah!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yuan increased the force of his blows, and all that could be heard in the living room was Boss Sang's painful screams!

"husband!"

"dad……"

"Aunt Sang, Sang Yu, please stop saying those things to upset her!" Sang Rou said anxiously, tears welling in her eyes. "You should soften your stance and beg her to stop making things difficult for you!"

“Miss Sang Rou, that’s not quite right. I didn’t make things difficult for them!” Wen Ni raised a finger to her lips, her eyebrows slightly raised in a mocking manner. “They brought this on themselves!”

“Um, Miss Wen Ni, you…” Butler Bai tried to persuade her.

As a result, Wen Ni's cold-eyed flying knife scared the butler away.

"Miss Hua Er".

Seeing that Wen Ni refused to back down, Sang Rou slowly pushed away her younger sister Sang Yu's hand, walked forward slowly, her voice trembling with sobs, and her face streaked with tears, a pitiful sight!

"This all started because of me. If you have any complaints, Miss Hua, take them out on me. Please, spare Uncle Sang and Aunt Sang, and don't make things difficult for them!"

"Look at you, crying so pitifully." Wen Ni rested her chin on her hand and blinked. "The way you're wailing and howling makes it seem like I killed your whole family. Is it really that bad?"

"Miss Hua Er..."

"I'm sick of hearing those four words." Wen Ni tapped the table with a finger, urging impatiently, "Miss Sang Rou, tell me, what exactly happened? What do you mean by saying that today's events all started because of you?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Rou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her eyes were red, and she spoke each word carefully.

“My name is Sang Rou, but I’m not actually a child of the Sang family. My mother died early, and my father remarried and never cared about me. Until three years ago, the Hua family came to me and said they had investigated my family background and suspected that I might be the person they were looking for…”

In that sense, her eyebrows and eyes do resemble Wen Ni's somewhat, but only in appearance; their expressions and temperaments are completely different.

"They brought me to the Hua family and treated me as a young lady of the Hua family, but they never made my existence public. This made me gradually suspect that the Hua family still had doubts about whether I was the person they were looking for."

"As it turns out, my guess was right. Even though the Hua family took me back, they were still secretly looking for Hua Simiao and her descendants..." At this point, Sang Rou couldn't help but choke up. After pausing for a while, she continued, "Then one day, Master Chuan suddenly sent someone to take me to Sang Yu's house to be fostered. Only then did I realize that I really... wasn't the bloodline they were looking for!"

"Then, less than a year later, the Hua family found you, and..." Sang Rou's fingers clenched tightly, her voice trembling, "and, not long after, they made your existence public to everyone..."

Wen Ni never expected that there would be such a twist in the story!

“Miss, after all, Master Chuan and his wife have spent more than three years with you, and they have feelings for you! That’s why they entrusted you to the Sang family instead of sending you back to that dilapidated old house!” Butler Bai sighed slightly, hesitating to speak.

“No matter how much affection I have, my existence cannot compare to that of a real young lady from the Hua family,” Sang Rou said in a low voice.

Wen Ni could hear the resentment, sarcasm, and even sorrow in every word!

"It's all your fault!"

Sang Yu suddenly stood up and said aggressively to Wen Ni, "Without you, you wicked woman, my sister Sang Rou would still be the second young lady of the Hua family! She would have the best of everything – food, clothes, and supplies. How could you possibly have a chance to be here? You're just a bully, acting like a tyrant!"
