Lu Cheng felt disdain for their behavior, but he had no right to stop them. He blocked the door and refused to let anyone in. He turned around and shouted into the house, "Aunt, someone's looking for you!"
When the Shu family members saw that Lu Cheng had no intention of letting them in, their faces instantly turned gloomy.
Old Mrs. Shu's face became even longer, and she scolded him sternly, "Where did you come from? How can you be so uneducated? We are relatives of the Cheng family, and you dare not even let us in?"
Lu Cheng folded his hands across his chest, blocking the doorway steadily. His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, and he replied bluntly, "I don't know you, how would I know if you're here to extort money?"
If he didn't know what his aunt's attitude was, he would have chased them away long ago. Why would he have to sit here and listen to them?
When Mrs. Shu wanted to continue arguing, she suddenly noticed that several people were walking towards her, so she immediately put on a hypocritical smile, "Hey, Xiaoran, you're finally back.
I've missed you so much these past few years that I couldn't sleep all night, and my hair has turned quite a bit grayer. Now that I see you back safely, the weight of my heart has finally fallen off."
After saying that, she hurried towards Shu Ran, looking so anxious, like a worried mother.
But Shu Ran dodged to the side and cleverly avoided the hug of Old Lady Shu.
When she saw that Old Mrs. Shu almost fell due to inertia, her pupils contracted slightly.
After Qin An Ning grabbed the person and helped Old Mrs. Shu stand steadily, Shu Ran regained his cold and indifferent expression.
"Lu Cheng, let them in." Talking while standing at the door would make a noise and be laughed at by the neighbors. The Cheng family couldn't afford to lose face with this person.
After hearing Shu Ran's words, Lu Cheng silently stepped aside and made way for the Shu family.
The young man who had been so arrogant just now snorted contemptuously at Lu Cheng and walked into the yard with his neck held high like a victorious rooster.
But Shu Ran didn't let them in. She stared at the family in front of her with a cold gaze and said in a cold tone, "We have severed our relationship. What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shu took the initiative to play the emotional card. She wiped her eyes lightly with her hands, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she said in a sobbing voice, "Xiaoran, Mom knows you are still angry with us, but under the circumstances at that time, we really had no choice!
Think about it, if we don’t do that, what will happen to our family?
Your nephews and nieces are still young. If something happens to them, will you be able to rest assured?"
Shu Ran watched her own mother acting coldly, her heart filled with disappointment and anger. Even at this time, she still wanted to use morality to blackmail her!
If it weren't for the sudden change in her family, she would probably never be able to see the true face of her family.
At that time, she had a stable job, the Cheng family was financially well-off, and her parents-in-law were understanding and never minded her supporting her family.
Even if she got something good, she would take the initiative to leave a portion for her parents' home.
Even the jobs for his nephews and nieces were arranged by Cheng Yi with great effort.
At that time, she naively believed that her parents' home was her warm haven that could shelter her from wind and rain.
However, what she never expected was that when she really encountered difficulties, her family would draw a line between them and her without hesitation.
What made her even more heartbroken was that her nephews and nieces, who were usually loved by her, were the first to jump out to criticize and fight her in order to show their attitude.
They stormed into her house aggressively, ransacked and smashed everything, even spat on her and pointed their fingers at her nose while cursing at her.
She will never forget the pain and despair in her heart at that time.
Qin Zhen arranged for Yan Lang to leave in advance, but the silly boy Shu Qing refused to leave them no matter what.
When her so-called good nephews and nieces beat her up, it was Shuqing who protected her, and when she suffered hardships in the countryside, it was Ningning who found them and risked her life to send them money and supplies.
Now that the Cheng family has regained its former status, these people have the audacity to come and try to establish a relationship with them. This is truly wishful thinking and outlandish.
Old Mrs. Shu pretended to be affectionate for a long time, but she never heard a word of comfort from Shu Ran. She couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Shu Ran had a look of indifference on his face, showing no sign of being moved at all. Old Mrs. Shu gradually couldn't pretend anymore, so she winked at her son.
Brother Shu understood what he meant and immediately acted like an elder brother, lecturing him, "Xiao Ran, how did you become so hard-hearted?
No matter what, we are all one family, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected!
We were forced by the situation at the time and there was nothing we could do!
Now that everything is over and you're back safely, why are you still dwelling on the past? Isn't it good for the family to live in harmony?"
Shu Ran sneered, "A family?
I don't have a family as heartless as yours. You were the ones who broke off relations with me in the beginning, and now you come to me with such a shameless attitude. What are you planning? Do you think others don't know?
Aren’t you just thinking of taking advantage?
What, you can't live without the Cheng family?"
Shu Ran's eyes swept across the faces of the Shu family members one by one. The contempt in her eyes was not concealed at all, and her tone was extremely sarcastic.
"I didn't expect you to be so shameless. If you had used it to build the Great Wall, even Meng Jiangnu wouldn't have cried.
I heard that Shu Jiahe was fired from the factory for fighting. Didn’t you come here today to ask Cheng Yi to help arrange a job for him?
You’re just wishful thinking. Let me tell you, it’s impossible!
A scourge like him should have been fired long ago!"
Shu Jiahe is the rooster, oh no, the young man who knocks on the door, Shu Ran’s nephew.
At that time, Shu Ran used the filter of family affection. Although he felt that his nephew was not very promising, he always felt that he was still young and it was enough as long as he was sensible.
Now it seems that he is really a useless waste who has accomplished nothing!
He got into a fight with someone because of jealousy over a woman, and this time he even beat the person so hard that he had to be sent to the hospital.
Since he refused to change his ways despite repeated warnings, the factory had no choice but to fire him.
He came here because he knew that Cheng Yi had resumed his position as deputy factory director!
After being pointed out by Shu Ran, Shu Jiahe's face turned extremely bad. He had been spoiled by his family since he was a child and was used to being spoiled. How could he bear Shu Ran pointing at his nose and scolding him like that?
"You black-hearted capitalist, don't think everything will be fine just because you're back. If you provoke me, I'll report you.
People like you should live in a cowshed all your life, or even die in the countryside..."
Cheng Shuqing couldn't bear it any longer and kicked him.
Although he didn't know kung fu, he was a grown man and used all his strength, so the kick was quite powerful.
