Chapter 142 Vampire Relatives
A deep blush first appeared on Ruan Dejun's face.
But then he was so overwhelmed with shame and anger that his face turned blue and he just stood there in a daze.
I wanted to open my mouth to explain myself, but I was speechless for a long time and couldn't find a word to say.
Just when the situation was becoming extremely awkward, Xie Chao squeezed out from the crowd.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
He said softly, "Cousin, look, we are all family. We should not judge others by appearances, but by appearances... Your uncle is also an elder. How can you listen to outsiders talking about him like that? How can you follow in the footsteps of your own family and criticize them?"
Unexpectedly, the girl raised her head slightly, without a trace of hesitation on her face.
She slowly said, "Heh... family? I really want to know how we became a family? How are we related? Can you tell me a few things?"
The originally smiling expression froze in an instant.
He stared, his cheeks flushing crimson.
His mouth moved and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
After a long while, he finally managed to stammer out, "How, how can it not count... I, I am your cousin... Yes! Your cousin!"
After saying this, Xie Chao's heart began to beat violently.
Beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead, and his heart was beating so fast that it felt like a drumstick was hitting his chest.
He was secretly muttering in his heart: It's over, it's over, what if we really fall out and she refuses to help pay for the family's expenses?
Who else can we turn to?
On the other side, Xie Guihua gritted her teeth and stamped her feet anxiously when she saw this, and her heart was in a panic.
She pinched her fingers in her palms and looked at everyone present anxiously.
She knew very well that the people present did not have a good impression of their family.
If everyone knew that she was not the girl’s biological mother at all, but just her stepmother.
I'm afraid that what will come to me next is not just a cold gaze.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she felt nervous.
All kinds of thoughts kept swirling in my mind.
This matter must not be allowed to spread!
It will not only affect your reputation, but may even affect your work and future in the factory.
She must put out this fire in the cradle!
Her eyes widened and her expression suddenly became fierce.
"What do you mean by that? Just because you've made money, you look down on your poor relatives, don't you? Tell me, do you have any conscience at all?"
Her tone was harsh and aggressive, and her voice was raised considerably.
"Don't forget, you're a hardworking, well-known person now. If word gets out about your behavior, not only do you neglect your family but you also default on your debts, wouldn't you feel ashamed? Pay the bills quickly so we can live in harmony. Otherwise, who will respect you in the future?"
But how could Ruan Chuxia not understand her little plan? She immediately understood the intention.
Faced with Xie Guihua's questioning, she did not back down at all.
"So what if I'm a model worker? I didn't get that title through backdoor channels. It was achieved through my own hard work, bit by bit."
Ruan Chuxia spoke slowly.
"You keep saying I'm ungrateful, but have you ever considered how much I've endured? This wasn't the glory you won for me, nor was it your charity, and certainly not something you can use to suppress me."
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Chuxia's eyes flashed.
"Besides, when did you, Xie Guihua, truly treat me as a family member? Ask your own heart."
"Since the day you came into my house, have you ever been truly kind to me? Or are you just trying to get something out of me? Don't talk to me about family affection. If you still have even a shred of family affection in your heart, why didn't you help me before I was able to find my feet? Instead, why didn't you just blame me for causing trouble for the family?"
After she finished speaking, her eyes immediately swept over to Xie Chao and Yuan Mengjuan who were standing in the corner pretending to be silent.
"You two should stop pretending nothing happened."
Her tone turned more directly questioning.
"You and I have no blood relationship at all, so why should I listen to your orders? Now you're eating and drinking and taking advantage, but you back off when it's time to talk. You're just watching the fun without participating, acting like you're taking advantage, and you don't even think it's ugly!"
Just as everyone was talking about it, a middle-aged aunt sitting on the side couldn't help but lean over and ask.
"Little sister, are you a model worker? Then are you...are you the Ruan Chuxia who invented potato balls and cured many of the workers' stomachaches?"
Ruan Chuxia nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
The whispers around were instantly replaced by an outburst of emotions.
"Oh my god, she is actually Ruan Chuxia!"
Someone exclaimed loudly.
"That's the most capable girl in our factory! I heard her potato ball medicine has saved so many lives. It's so effective!"
Someone immediately agreed, their tone full of emotion.
"Oh my god, such a promising child, and her family treats her like this, how shameless! They have a golden rice bowl in their hands but don't know how to cherish it!"
“It’s so unfair!”
Another middle-aged man who was watching was even more furious and shouted with his fists clenched.
"She's not her biological mother, yet she's so mean to her. Today we have to help her get justice. This blood-sucking relative deserves a good lesson!"
"If you see someone doing well, and you immediately come over to try to make friends with them, what kind of person are you?"
…
In just a few minutes, the whole scene changed dramatically.
Ruan Chuxia's identity was exposed.
Those who had been on the sidelines stood up.
Xie Chao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking.
Looking at the noisy and chaotic situation in front of him, his face turned from white to red, and from red to blue.
In the end, all that's left is regret.
It was all because of Xie Guihua’s greed that caused this disaster.
I originally just wanted to take advantage of the situation, but it turned out to be such a terrible result.
Xie Chao began to have a vague premonition that today's trouble might be deeper than he had imagined...
If she hadn't sworn that Ruan Chuxia was a taciturn person who never spoke and had a terrible temper, he wouldn't have come over.
As a result, the situation is now completely out of control!
Although Ruan Dejun didn't say a word from beginning to end, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Anyway, I'm not going to pay for the 68 yuan. You ordered the meal in the first place. You should figure this out on your own."
After saying this, Ruan Chuxia turned her head without hesitation and was about to leave.
When Yuan Mengjuan saw that the situation was not right, she immediately reached out to stop her.
But she was a little worried about the people around her staring at her, so she could only lower her voice and say, "You...you can't just leave like this."
After hearing this, Ruan Chuxia felt it was extremely absurd and couldn't help laughing.
"Why can't I leave?"
"We...we have no money..."
Yuan Mengjuan's voice became lower and lower.
Ruan Chuxia expressionlessly pushed her hand away and said, "It's not my fault that you're broke. Besides, you clearly chose the dishes and had them served to you, so of course you should pay for them. Why should I pay for them out of my own pocket?"
