"Who is your husband? We must know each other, right?" the woman asked, her expression full of anticipation.
One of the purposes of such gatherings is to build connections with influential people.
Sheng Nanyin lowered her gaze slightly, "I have no husband."
The two women looked even more surprised, not understanding what she meant.
Sheng Nanyin didn't want to lie, nor did she want to have anything to do with Huo Beichen.
She boldly admitted, "My children attend school here, but I don't have a husband."
The woman covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes revealing undisguised contempt.
Sheng Nanyin's meaning was very clear: she was a mistress, and her child was an illegitimate child.
The woman's disdain quickly turned into anger.
"Oh my goodness!" she shouted, as if afraid no one would hear her, "What's wrong with your school? Why are you letting just anyone in?"
Another woman shouted, "Before inviting someone, can the school at least check their background? This is a high-class party; when did mistresses become eligible to attend?"
Regardless of whether her husband was having an affair, the female guests at the party were always the original wives, and the word "mistress" stung their faces deeply.
In an instant, the female guests surrounded Sheng Nanyin, bombarding her with questions.
"Are you kidding me? Do you even know who you are? How dare you come here?"
"You look decent enough, but you do terrible things. Do you think you're so proud of that?"
"That old saying is so true: the more shameless you are, the more you have to pretend. Looking at her outfit, if you didn't know better, you'd think she was some rich young lady."
"You should say less," some said with apprehension, "maybe they're just being arrogant."
"Look at what she uses and wears, it's not cheap."
"That's definitely not cheap. They make money so easily, hehehe."
"What gives you the right to come in? Do you think your child has it easy at school?"
"Tell me then, what's so great about you? If you're so capable, tell me your child's name!"
Sheng Nanyin originally wanted to endure it, but when she heard them mention Zeze, she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Who I am has nothing to do with you. I am here because my son goes to school here."
"Slap!" Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed on her face.
Sheng Nanyin was caught off guard, and her mind was buzzing from the blow.
"Well done!" Many people cheered.
"These shameless people must pay the price, otherwise they will become even more unscrupulous!"
"Don't think you're so great just because you gave birth to a son. Every woman can have children!"
“Tell me who your son is, and I guarantee he won’t be allowed to show his face at this school again tomorrow!”
"Mrs. Mu is right!"
"Mrs. Mu has the confidence!"
"Of course! Don't you know who her husband is and who her father is?"
Sheng Nanyin felt uneasy. She came to her senses and realized that the person who had slapped her earlier was Mrs. Mu.
Mrs. Mu comes from a very prominent family; her husband and father both run large businesses, and their family members are elites in various industries.
Even if it's Yun Suiwan or Lu Dongjue, they still have to give each other some face when they meet.
“I don’t care who you are,” Mrs. Mu stared coldly at Sheng Nanyin, “say your son’s name right now, and then get out of here.”
Sheng Nanyin bit her lip tightly, determined not to utter Zeze's name.
But she wasn't afraid of Mrs. Mu, and retorted, "Does not having a husband necessarily mean being a mistress? I haven't done anything dirty."
"Slap!" Another slap landed on her face.
Mrs. Mu showed no mercy.
"Tell me your son's name!" Mrs. Mu roared. "Otherwise, if my people find out, I can't guarantee what will happen to you."
Sheng Nanyin's cheeks were red and swollen, but her face was full of stubbornness and she refused to give in. "I did nothing wrong, and my son did even less wrong. If you dare to hurt my son, I will not let you off the hook!"
Mrs. Mu was slightly taken aback; Sheng Nanyin's stubbornness exceeded her expectations.
But the more Sheng Nanyin acted this way, the more determined she was to bring her down.
Next to the venue was a small building, and one of the rooms inside was filled with screens.
The screen is showing a scene from the meeting.
"Brother Chen, shall we continue?" Ah Liang asked.
Huo Beichen stood in front of the screen, his lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.
Ah Liang didn't ask any more questions, but sighed softly in his heart.
Why is that?
"You're asking for it, aren't you?" Mrs. Mu continued to press her advantage, and suddenly she raised her hand and tugged at Sheng Nanyin's hair.
"Crash!" The pearls on the hair ornament fell to the ground.
Sheng Nanyin's hair also came loose, draped messily over her shoulders.
With Mrs. Mu taking the lead, the other women also became bolder, some tearing at clothes, some pulling off necklaces, and some even scratching their skin.
He was yelling and cursing at the same time.
"Let these despicable people see what happens when they destroy other people's families!"
“If you don’t take action against her today, this kind of person will destroy your family tomorrow.”
"You're so ungrateful! You don't even listen to Mrs. Mu. You deserve it!"
"Quickly tell me your son's name, or you'll all suffer the consequences!"
"Do you still expect a man to come and save you? He's already become a coward."
Sheng Nanyin silently closed her eyes, enduring these humiliations.
She doesn't regret it. Taking this step was difficult, and facing it was also very difficult.
But there always has to be a beginning, doesn't there?
She wants to be the best mother, and this is not just a slogan.
Despite her constant encouragement, the relentless humiliation was threatening to break through her mental defenses.
Two voices were constantly battling within her.
One thing kept her going.
One of them made her run fast.
She felt she couldn't hold on any longer; if she just turned around, she could escape this humiliation and abuse...
Zeze will understand her, right?
Zeze won't blame her, right?
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm, and the warmth of the palm flowed into the depths of her heart, instantly giving her boundless strength.
"Is that enough?" A cool female voice rang out softly.
It is late in the year.
Those who were physically active stopped, and those who were verbally active also stopped.
They recognized the person, and few dared to go against Yun Suiwan.
Putting aside the Yun family's strength, Yun Suiwan's reputation in the industry is also formidable.
Mrs. Mu crossed her arms and looked at Yun Suiwan with hostility. "Miss Yun, are you going to stand up for what's right and help her?"
If Yun Suiwan wanted to oppose her, she wasn't afraid of offending him.
Yun Suiwan raised an eyebrow slightly: "She is my friend."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over them.
Is Yun Suiwan standing up for others? Does that mean she won't let them off the hook?
Mrs. Mu sneered, "Then you've come at the perfect time. Your friend is being inconsiderate and has broken our rules. What do you suggest we do about it?"
