Everyone's expressions were priceless, including those who had attended Yuanjing Technology's banquet before. They never expected to witness such a spectacle here.
They watched as Ye Shuping ignored He Jing with disdain, and her gaze towards He Jing was full of mockery. They wondered how He Jing would react, and whether she would run back crying.
He Chen caught up with Ye Shuping and called out, "Madam Cheng, please wait."
Ye Shuping and Cheng Yi stopped and turned around at the same time.
He Chen stepped forward and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Madam Cheng, for raising my sister for so many years. You have raised her very well. It is our He family's good fortune to have her."
Ye Shuping's attitude was visibly perfunctory, and she said coldly, "You're welcome. Our Cheng family is also very satisfied with Xiaoyi."
In such formal settings, whoever loses control first loses.
For the first time, He Chen was under the pressure of being in the public eye, but he did not show any fear and continued to smile: "Jingjing is the lucky star of our family. If it weren't for Jingjing, the He family would still be in poverty and hardship, and my brothers and I would probably still not be able to afford to go to school. We have no way to repay this great kindness. Madam Cheng, you must come to the He family when you have time."
Speaking of studying, Ye Shuping got angry. She finally looked He Chen in the eye and sneered, "Then forget it. Although our Cheng family only has one daughter, we never discriminate against girls. Your He family has learned to reflect on its mistakes, which is an improvement. I hope that my adopted daughter can be valued in your family and that I won't have to suffer the pain of dropping out of school to support your boys' education."
He Chen glanced at Cheng Yi with some surprise, and Cheng Yi quickly called out, "Mom, I've explained things to you, it's not what you think."
Ye Shuping glared at her and said sternly in a low voice, "Shut up."
The He family only produced one successful son, He Yuan, so she would often visit the He family. Now that the sixth son has also become successful, she probably wishes she could change her surname back to He.
The reason she came along today was to prevent her from having any further private contact with the He family, and sure enough, she caught her.
He Chen smiled calmly: "Does Madam Cheng have some misunderstanding about our He family? Our He family has never favored sons over daughters."
Ye Shuping scoffed: "Your He family knows what you've done; you don't need to explain it to others."
He Jing said calmly, "Indeed, I will not pursue the matter of Madam Cheng almost driving me to suicide."
Originally, the fake heiress would not have taken the step of threatening suicide. It was Ye Shuping's extreme words that made the fake heiress lose her mind and seek death.
Thankfully, she transmigrated, otherwise the fake heiress would have been truly doomed, and the original story would have ended right after the beginning.
Ye Shuping retorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't force you."
He Jing's gaze was cool and indifferent as she raised an eyebrow: "Is that so?"
Ye Shuping recalled the harsh words she had spoken earlier, and her momentum suddenly weakened: "It's because you're psychologically fragile."
If anyone is to blame, it's the He family for doing something so immoral. If she hadn't heard the news that her own daughter was suffering in the He family, she wouldn't have been so heartless to the fake daughter she had raised for over ten years.
In short, this is a mess that can never be completely cleaned up.
There's no point in flipping through it again.
He Chen concluded the conversation and said politely, "Regardless of what Mrs. Cheng thinks, we are grateful to the Cheng family."
Ye Shuping, not wanting to be too aggressive and lose her composure, led Cheng Yi aside without answering.
