After being kicked to the ground, Shu Jiahe covered his stomach and cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Brother Shu and his wife immediately rushed to their son anxiously and asked with concern, "Jiahe, how are you? Where does it hurt?"
Old Mrs. Shu glared at Shu Ran and Cheng Shuqing, but she still retained a bit of rationality and did not curse.
But his words were full of accusations, "Shu Qing, you are the elder brother, how could you be so harsh to your younger brother?"
Hearing this, Cheng Shuqing's face turned very cold, and there was a hint of mockery in his voice, "Brother? My brothers are only Yan Lang and Yi Chen. Those shameless cats and dogs should stay away from me!"
In Old Lady Shu's impression, Cheng Shuqing has always been a handsome, elegant and aloof nobleman.
No matter what happens, he will handle it calmly and will never utter a single swear word.
However, today's ruthless sarcasm made Old Mrs. Shu stunned for a moment.
Her originally cloudy eyes were filled with doubt and scrutiny, trying to determine whether the eldest grandson in front of her was still the person she was familiar with.
The more he looked at her, the more frightened he became. Cheng Shuqing looked at them with eyes full of indifference and mockery, as if the people in front of him were just a group of jumping clowns and he could not feel any warmth at all.
A sinister premonition suddenly emerged in her heart, so she turned to look at Shu Ran and Cheng Yi.
I thought my daughter and son-in-law have always been very filial, so they shouldn’t be so heartless, right?
After all, what happened at that time was also forced!
We are all family, so how can there be any overnight hatred?
What's more, they have returned safely now.
However, reality once again disappointed her.
The two men looked at her as if she were a stranger, without any affection at all.
Old Mrs. Shu's lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but suddenly she was speechless.
"The reason I let you in today is to make things clear."
Shu Ran's cold voice rang out. She stared at the Shu family expressionlessly, then said without any emotion, "When I was down and out, you chose to draw a clear line with me without hesitation. Now that the Cheng family has risen again, you are shamelessly clinging to me. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
Since we have severed our relationship, there is no need for us to have any further contact in this life."
She looked down at the stunned and unwilling Shu Jiahe, "Aren't you going to report it? You can go anytime.
Our Cheng family's reputation was restored after our superiors personally approved the documents after going through numerous reviews.
You were fired for fighting, you have corrupt thoughts and morals, yet you're trying to make false accusations and question the wise decision of the leadership. I think you should undergo ideological reform."
Shu Ran said this not because she really wanted to do anything to the Shu family. Although they hurt her heart, they were still family members connected by blood. She just wanted them to be well and not disturb each other.
But she was afraid that the Shu family would really report the Cheng family. If the leader asked them to come back, he would not go back on his word and demote them again.
But at this time, it is better to have less trouble than more. If we can scare the Shu family, it will save a lot of trouble.
But she was just trying to scare people, but some people took it seriously.
Mrs. Shu was already full of resentment because her son was beaten, and now when she heard Shu Ran say that she would send her son for ideological reform, she could no longer suppress her anger.
She was not a very reasonable person to begin with, and now she was so angry that she didn't care about anything else and reached out to grab Shu Ran.
Cheng Yi quickly pulled Shu Ran away, and Qin An Ning took the opportunity to raise his leg and kick Shu Dasao out.
She had wanted to beat them up for a long time, but she had been holding back because she was concerned about Shu Ran's feelings. Now she finally had the opportunity.
Mrs. Shu, who was kicked out, fell on Shu Jiahe. Shu Jiahe, who had just sat up and had not yet caught his breath, was hit again and screamed in pain.
Qin An Ning secretly glanced at Shu Ran, and when he saw that she didn't blame him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After two people from her family were beaten one after another, Mrs. Shu could no longer suppress her anger. She pointed at Shu Ran's nose and cursed, "Shu Ran, you traitor, have you forgotten your last name?
Why did I give birth to an ungrateful person like you? If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you to death when you were born."
Shu Ran could hear the constant insults, and her heart was filled with sadness. Ever since her father left, she had never had a comfortable life in the Shu family.
She took care of the Shu family because of her father's dying wish. He always said, "A harmonious family brings prosperity," but now she really couldn't bear it anymore.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were clear and bright. "Shuqing, kick them out. If they dare to make trouble, call the police."
Old Mrs. Shu, who was cursing non-stop, looked at Shu Ran in disbelief when she heard this, "Are you really going to turn your back on your relatives?"
Shu Ran looked at them coldly, "My only relatives are the Cheng family. You have nothing to do with me."
"You!" Old Mrs. Shu was shaking with anger. When she wanted to say something else, the door was pushed open again and her words stopped abruptly.
Qin Zhen walked in with a stern face, exuding a cold and serious aura.
He had just heard the scolding outside the door, and when he looked around, he saw that all the Shu family members were there. He knew what was going on without asking.
The Shu family knew Qin Zhen. They knew that the son-in-law of the Cheng family had been to the battlefield and killed the enemy. In addition, he was now deliberately having a stern face and had an amazing aura, so they subconsciously did not dare to continue making noise.
Qin Zhen didn't even glance at them. He walked straight to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and asked respectfully, "Mom and Dad, do you need me to deal with the troublemaker?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Feng immediately stepped forward. His face was serious and his eyes were fixed on the people of the Shu family. As long as Qin Zhen gave an order, he would take action immediately.
"No, no, we'll leave now, right away." Old Mrs. Shu said with fear on her face. She didn't dare to delay for even a second and immediately left.
The Shu family left in disgrace, and the Cheng family returned to peace, but the originally cheerful and harmonious atmosphere seemed a little off.
Shu Ran felt uncomfortable, but didn't want to affect everyone, so she tried hard to force a smile.
Grandma took Shu Ran's hand and said earnestly, "Xiao Ran, we have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than 20 years and have never had a quarrel. I have long regarded you as my own daughter.
Today I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Life is full of ups and downs. Once you have experienced it, you will understand that living a stable life is better than anything else.
Just follow your heart and don’t be too hard on yourself!
If you think forgiveness will make you happier, then we should forgive them. The Cheng family is not short of helping them with some small things.
If you don't want to forgive, let's just pretend nothing happened and ignore them in the future.
We don’t punish ourselves for the mistakes of others.”
