Chapter 400 Memorial Tablets
"He... forgave us?"
Xiao Cheng scoffed, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Now you remember we're his blood relatives?" Wen Ni smiled faintly, her eyes calm, as if nothing could provoke any anger in her. "Too bad, it's too late!"
"My mother's only mistake in life was marrying Wen Yuanshan. She shouldn't have ended up with such a tragic death."
"And my only mistake was not taking Xiaocheng with me when I left three years ago! Leaving him alone to endure your beatings, torture, and mental abuse!"
She took a deep breath, her smile turning cold.
"No one invited you here, and no one welcomed you. Why do you insist on making a fool of yourself?"
"You child, your words are too harsh!" Sun Yuling couldn't bring herself to say it. "No matter what, your mother was taken in by Old Madam Wen back then, which is why she was able to survive. The Wen family is your benefactor, and also the Hua family's benefactor!"
"It was Grandma Wen who was kind to my mother, not you." Wen Ni's originally calm heart was ignited by Sun Yuling's shrewd words. "My mother has already given up the rest of her life to repay her kindness! Her relationship with the Wen family was severed completely when Wen Yuanshan took the money she worked so hard to earn to indulge in drinking, gambling, and whoring, and even when she was on her deathbed, he was still having an affair with you!"
Anger blazed in her eyes as she stepped forward, forcing Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan to retreat until their legs crashed into a table covered with a red cloth at the far end of the banquet hall! They had nowhere left to retreat!
"Do you really think the Hua family knows nothing about these things?"
"Where do you get the audacity to act so presumptuously here!"
A cold, rebuking voice echoed in the banquet hall.
Fanxi, who had originally wanted to watch the excitement, was stunned by what he saw!
Wen Ni was already exuding a powerful aura, and the entire room fell silent.
She suddenly raised her hand and ripped off the red cloth covering the table!
Under the astonished and shocked gazes of the guests
Five brown wooden memorial tablets stood on the table, displayed before everyone!
Sun Yuling and Wen Yuanshan turned around tremblingly. The moment they saw the memorial tablet, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with terror!
Do you know her?
Wen Ni held Hua Simiao's memorial tablet in both hands, her eyes coldly lowered.
"Is it...is it Xiulian's memorial tablet?"
Wen Yuanshan finally spoke in a trembling voice, his eyes darting away!
"She is not Xiulian, her name is Hua Simiao."
"She is a girl born into love and with high hopes placed upon her by her parents. Not that Wen family woman confined to the home, devoted to her husband and children, and dying with resentment! Her soul will no longer be bound by anything! The sky is high and the sea is wide, and no one can hold her back anymore!"
Wen Ni looked down at them with disdain.
"What are you? You dare to dream of such things! I, Wen Ni, am telling you this: now and in the future, you will never again try to gain any benefit from me or the Hua family in my mother's name!"
"You...you shouldn't be so arrogant..."
Sun Yuling shakily got up from the ground.
Wen Yuanshan stared at Hua Simiao's memorial tablet like a wooden statue, without moving.
"Master Chuan, you're in charge of the Hua family now, not some little girl who just came back!"
Sun Yuling turned and tossed the words back to Hua Baichuan!
"So many guests are watching! It's unacceptable for you not to give us an explanation! You're all dressed impeccably, living the life of the upper class, while what about us? Our clothes are patched up, and our house collapsed in the earthquake a while ago. We only have temporary shelter, not even a proper house! Is this how you treat your benefactors? Aren't you afraid of what outsiders will say?!"
Hua Baichuan's expression was grave, as if deep in thought.
The guests pointed and whispered among themselves.
"Do you really think we don't know that you dressed like this on purpose to gain sympathy?" Wen Cheng could hardly contain her anger and strode forward. "Three years! You took the hundreds of thousands of yuan that my sister sent back intermittently over those three years and bought so many designer clothes. Why don't you wear them? And what about the gold bracelet and necklace you got from selling my mother's jewelry! What, you ate them all!?"
"You...you're making false accusations!" Sun Yuling panicked and sat down on the ground.
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
Before she could even start throwing a tantrum, Hua Baichuan's deep, reprimanding voice startled her, and she quickly shut up.
All eyes turned to Hua Baichuan.
"Today is a joyous day for the Hua family to welcome our two children home! It is also an auspicious day to welcome the soul of Simiao back home. We absolutely will not allow any unimportant people to disturb us!" Hua Baichuan said with a gloomy face. "Hua Zhuo, why don't you have someone throw these troublemakers out! If they dare to come here again, break their legs and throw them out!"
"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say!"
Hua Zhuo slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves, waved his arm, and bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling, and dragged them out!
No matter how hard they struggled, it was all in vain!
"Let us go!"
The shouting and commotion gradually subsided.
The guests who witnessed this farce were still speechless with astonishment!
Before they came, they were wondering what the two children the Hua family had found would look like and what their personalities would be like.
Seeing it with their own eyes now, they truly realized...
Genes are truly ingrained in our very bones!
The Hua family's fierce spirit and decisive actions were fully reflected in these two children!
"Cough cough cough, looks like this old man is late? Did I miss some big event?"
At the entrance to the banquet hall, the sound of a cane hitting the ground could be heard.
Wen Ni turned around with everyone and saw Lu Jianxun, who was wearing a long gray-blue mandarin jacket. The old man walked slowly and had a faint smile on his face.
And accompanying the old man on either side of him were the two brothers, Lu Jinye and Lu Jinbai!
One red and one white.
A cold and profound person, yet secretly flamboyant.
Another pure, fiery white, radiant with vitality.
Even with only a slight resemblance, he was already incredibly handsome!
“Lu Jinye…” Fan Xi was stunned.
"Hurry up!" Xiaowei pushed her from behind.
Vansi clenched his fingers, held his head high, and stepped forward in his high heels.
"Mr. Lu, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me? I am Fan Xi, and my father is Fan Dongxin. We used to be in the same military compound as you!"
"Oh, Fan Dongxin."
Lu Jianxun looked as if he had just realized something. "So you are his daughter. I remember when you and your father moved out of the compound, you were not even ten years old, only a little over my waist."
"It is my honor that you remember me." Vansi's joy was evident in his words.
"Hmm." Lu Jianxun nodded, his cane tapping against the ground. "Your appearance and personality are somewhat similar to your father's, but not exactly the same!"
