Wang Ma brought out tea and snacks at the right time, inviting the group to sit down and chat.
Shi Shulan wanted to criticize Xinghe's outfit and posture as soon as she opened her mouth, but she held back because of Sheng Hongyang's warning.
Sheng Qian, on the other hand, was deprived of the right to speak.
So throughout the entire conversation, only Sheng Huan was chatting with Xing He.
This cousin of hers looked very refined and gentle. Xinghe originally thought he was doing some kind of academic work, but it turned out he was an actor, and a very famous one at that.
He told Xinghe many interesting stories about what they encountered on set, and Xinghe listened with great interest.
After chatting for a long time, Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen returned.
The brothers Sheng Hongyang and Sheng Xiuwen hadn't seen each other for a while, and as soon as they sat down, they started talking about topics such as the company's development.
Shi Shulan said sarcastically, "After all these years, Ye Ning, you're really something, you can even mistake your own child."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning hugged Shi Shulan with tears in her eyes, "My sister is so pitiful. She has been wandering outside for so many years, never having enough to eat or sleep, and even having to fetch water from outside."
Xinghe spoke up weakly, "Actually, it's not that bad."
Ye Ning didn't care and continued to complain to Shi Shulan, "She even picked up other people's clothes, and her pants were too long, so she had to roll them up."
As she spoke, Ye Ning really felt like crying.
After investigating for so long, they only found two or three photos of Xinghe when he was a child. One of them was taken by others when Xinghe was being taken down the mountain by Daoist Suiyuan, and he accidentally appeared in the photo.
Shi Shulan pushed Ye Ning's head away with some disgust, "Since you know your sister is so miserable, why don't you treat her better?"
"Look at her from head to toe, what part of her resembles the Sheng family's little princess?"
Ye Ning felt guilty, "It's all our fault."
Shi Shulan began to discuss the details of raising children with Ye Ning, saying, "Let me tell you, raising girls requires much more care than raising boys."
Ye Ning and Shi Shulan knew each other before they got married.
When Ye Ning was ten years old, her family moved from the southwest to Beijing, a place where she knew no one. Her family background was in an awkward position, neither high nor low.
She spoke with a slight southwestern accent, unable to distinguish between retroflex and alveolar consonants and nasal sounds. She was also small and looked easy to bully.
Princesses and young masters are as numerous as hairs on a cow in the capital. Ye Ning was at an age where she was easy to bully and was tricked several times.
Later, Shi Shulan helped her, and that's how the two met. In the end, she married one of the two brothers.
Ye Ning recalled Xinghe's experiences and started crying while hugging Shi Shulan. Shi Shulan gave her two pieces of paper, feeling both disgusted and helpless.
"How are you planning to handle things with Shengyue? This incident has blown up so much that several families have asked me about it."
Countless eyes in Beijing are watching the Sheng family, eagerly awaiting their downfall.
The others also perked up their ears, and the Sheng brothers temporarily put the topic aside.
Ye Ning said, "I didn't originally intend to be so ruthless, but she's too ambitious and is targeting my sister. I'm not going to keep her in the Sheng family anymore."
"Auntie! Sister Yueyue has lived with us for so long! She—"
Sheng Heng grabbed Sheng Qian by the back of the neck again and pressed her down.
He smiled apologetically, "Sorry, please continue."
Shi Shulan said, "This was originally your family matter, and I shouldn't have said much. But this matter has blown up so much. Once Xinghe's identity is exposed, the blame will definitely fall on her."
Shi Shulan had no feelings for Sheng Yue. They were both shrewd people and saw through Sheng Yue's little tricks perfectly well.
I just used to think of her as my own child and couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
Now that this has happened, they are finally beginning to seriously examine Sheng Yue.
“I know I won’t let that happen.”
“What’s the use of just talking? The most urgent thing is to think about what to do next. Let’s not kick Sheng Yue out at this juncture, or it will make our Sheng family seem heartless.”
Shi Shulan glanced at Xinghe, then at her own foolish daughter, and said eagerly, "If you can't raise the child well, send him to me, and I'll raise him for you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely train her to become the number one socialite in the Dragon Kingdom."
Ye Ning immediately became alert. "You're dreaming! That's impossible."
She stood in front of Xinghe, saying, "I'll raise my own sister. You can raise your Qianqian."
Sheng Qian stubbornly broke free from Sheng Heng's grip and poked her little head out, "You guys are too much! Sister Yueyue is so pitiful. I will always stand in front of Sister Yueyue!"
“And you,” she looked at Xinghe, “I will never acknowledge you. Only Yueyue is my sister.”
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl's head was all puffed up like an angry little chick.
Shi Shulan rubbed her forehead and called out, "Sheng Heng."
Sheng Heng, pulling Sheng Qian along, smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, I'll take her back to take her medicine first."
Ye Ning was a little gloating, her cat-like eyes exactly like Xinghe's, "Your parenting isn't much better."
Shi Shulan straightened her clothes. "At least my family only has one stupid person, but your family has five."
"We're leaving too. Remember to contact us if you need anything."
Shi Shulan glanced at Xinghe one last time, "If you want to come to my house, just make a phone call and I'll have your brother Shengheng come pick you up."
She couldn't help but complain a couple more times, "Your taste is even worse than your mother's. I'll have someone send you a few more outfits."
As they walked out the door, Xinghe suddenly remembered the black card and bracelet she had just received, and chased after them in her slippers.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please wait a moment."
She was holding something, but her expression subtly changed the moment she saw the group of people.
One major drawback of fortune telling is that the more closely related or involved one is to oneself, the less likely one is to be able to predict the outcome.
However, their faces changed at the same time, with dark clouds looming over the bridge of their noses.
She could only roughly see the time, but couldn't calculate the location.
Sheng Hongyang forced a friendly smile, "What's wrong?"
Xinghe took out four amulets from his pocket. "Nice to meet you. These are my gifts for you. Please take good care of them."
Sheng Hongyang accepted it with a smile, "My brother has been bragging about it to me a few times, hahaha, now I have one too."
"Girls should avoid these things. I've heard that too much contact with them is bad for your health." Shi Shulan said this, but her hand obediently took the amulet and put it in her bag.
“Waaah I…no…waaah…” Sheng Qian let out a series of meaningless sobs.
Sheng Huan pressed Sheng Qian down with one hand, "Thank you, Xinghe sister, I'll accept it on Sheng Qian's behalf."
Xinghe: "Then be careful on your way home, and give me a call when you get home."
She waved goodbye to the group.
Looking back, I realized I'd forgotten to return my card.
Xinghe had a strong sense of foreboding.
The next second, the phone rang. "Hello, the Hope Primary School you donated to build has been hit by a mudslide. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the entire school needs to be rebuilt. What are your thoughts on the subsequent costs?"
Galaxy: !!
She'll chop off those uncontrollable claws right now!
