Wang Shuping and Jiang Lifang were taken aback and both looked at Bai Qiongyu.
"Mother, do you know her?" Wang Shuping asked curiously. "I've never heard of having such a relative in the family."
“Of course you don’t know,” Bai Qiongyu said. “Before the Nanshi Massacre, Wu Cuifen came to Nanshi from the countryside. My mother-in-law at the time liked this distant niece from her maternal family very much, so she kept her there. Later, I received news that Nanshi was not safe and that everyone should go out and hide. Your father-in-law and your grandmother were unwilling, so I took Jingyu and Xianglan to Suzhou. Your father-in-law was worried about me, so he chased after me. When we got to Suzhou, that incident happened. By the time your father-in-law returned to Nanshi, your grandmother had already passed away. Wu Cuifen had absconded with the family’s money. I don’t know if she escaped while your grandmother was alive or after she died.”
"My God, these aren't relatives, they're enemies!" Jiang Lifang exclaimed in surprise. From Wang Shuping's introduction and Bai Qiongyu's words, she had roughly understood the situation. "Luckily, I didn't agree to let her family move in."
Wang Shuping nodded and said, "Yes, we can't let them live in our house."
He Tiantian boiled the water, washed the cups, and poured tea for everyone.
The tea leaves were brought from Qijia Village; they were wild mountain tea.
The adults were drinking tea while He Tiantian went to prepare dinner, using ingredients from Jiang Lifang's house.
Just then, a middle-aged woman with a child peeked inside. Seeing that there were people inside, she came in.
"Is my cousin's wife home?" the old woman asked loudly, looking around at the houses. These were much better than the ones they rented.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuping looked at Jiang Lifang.
Jiang Lifang nodded and said with a wry smile, "It's this woman."
“Since they stole my things and disregarded my grandmother’s life, they are my family’s enemy,” Wang Shuping said. “I’ll go and chase them away.”
He Tiantian came out of the kitchen and saw a dark-faced old lady whom she didn't recognize at all!
"Who are you?" He Tiantian asked. "Did you come to the wrong door?"
When Wu Cuifen saw He Tiantian's appearance, she was so frightened that she took two steps back. This little girl looked too much like her grandmother.
She suffered a lot back then; if it weren't for her aunt's favoritism, she wouldn't have been able to stay there at all.
Sigh, if that hadn't happened, she might have married her cousin. She wouldn't have met such a scumbag and wouldn't be living such a miserable life now.
"Oh, I'm your great-aunt," the old woman said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
He Tiantian took two steps back and said, "I've never heard of such a relative in my family. What's your name? Who are you looking for?"
"Oh dear, this child has no manners." Wu Cuifen feigned anger, expressing her utter disgust for He Tiantian's face, wishing she could scratch it raw.
At this moment, Wang Shuping came out of the house and said, "My father-in-law has been gone for ten years, and no relatives or friends have come to pay their respects. Don't come here to claim kinship now. We don't have any relatives like that in our family."
"Oh, you must be Jingyu's wife?" Wu Cuifen acted as if she hadn't heard her, becoming very familiar and enthusiastic. "I even held Jingyu when he was little!"
At this moment, Xianglan came out of the kitchen and scolded, "Bullshit, utter nonsense! You almost killed Young Master Jingyu back then. If I hadn't discovered it early, he would have suffocated to death lying on his stomach."
"You...you..." Wu Cuifen was startled. "You're Xianglan?"
"It's me!" Xianglan stepped forward and slapped Wu Cuifen twice, continuing to curse, "You shameless thing, you're so ugly, yet you still want to seduce the young master. It's only because our young lady is kind that I would have killed you long ago."
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to America?" Wu Cuifen asked in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.
"How did you know I went back to America? Didn't you already run away?" Bai Qiongyu came out of the house and said expressionlessly.
The reason she and He Jinming eventually separated was because He Jinming's mother passed away, and He Jinming felt very guilty.
By then, Wu Cuifen had already packed up her belongings and run away; she left six months later.
"I...I guessed," Wu Cuifen stammered, "You're still so beautiful after all these years."
That's the truth; Wu Cuifen was jealous.
"Go away, the He family doesn't have relatives like you," Bai Qiongyu said, not wanting to see this hateful woman.
Seeing this face reminds me of what that woman did.
"No, sister-in-law!" Wu Cuifen looked Bai Qiongyu up and down. "Oh my, you've struck it rich, you can't forget your relatives!"
Just then, He Jingyu arrived with Qi Shuliang and Qi Zhenghan.
"What relatives?" He Jingyu asked curiously, because he really didn't have any relatives! When his father passed away, only his father's colleagues came to pay their respects; there were no relatives.
"Wu Cuifen!" Bai Qiongyu said through gritted teeth. This woman is full of evil intentions and is not a good person.
"Wu Cuifen?" He Jingyu was taken aback, then remembered who Wu Cuifen was. He turned around and shouted, "Get out! Get out now!"
Everyone was stunned, not expecting He Jingyu to react so strongly.
Of course she's old. This woman disregarded her grandmother's death and ran off with all their belongings. After things calmed down, she never returned. It's clear she deliberately ran off and no longer recognizes them as relatives.
He Jingyu said to the bodyguards standing in the courtyard, "Get this old woman out of here."
The Bai family's bodyguards glared at Wu Cuifen, their eyes sharp and piercing.
Wu Cuifen was so frightened that she kept backing away, but the child she was leading was unhappy and reached out to push the bodyguard.
"Hmph!" The bodyguard snorted, glaring angrily, which frightened the child into tears.
“We’re still relatives, how can you do this!” Wu Cuifen shouted, “Now that your family is successful, you’ve abandoned your relatives.”
"Fine, return what you stole, and I'll consider you family," He Jingyu said. "You took everything from our family back then, and you're not going to return it? You want to claim kinship with us? Dream on! Get lost!"
"I was trying to escape the Japanese soldiers, I didn't take anything," Wu Cuifen argued. "I really didn't take anything!"
"What a joke! Everything in the old lady's room is gone, even the gold hairpin in her hair is missing. The old lady's private belongings were hidden in a rather secluded place. Apart from you, even Jin Ming and I didn't know about them. And you still say you didn't take them? Besides, after all these years, if you had nothing to hide, and truly had nowhere else to run away, why are you only coming to claim kinship now?" Bai Qiongyu sneered, looking down on this disgusting woman.
“I… my family lives in the countryside! We were busy with things at home, so we were delayed,” Wu Cuifen explained. “As soon as I got back, I came to reunite with my relatives.”
