The first time she walked on the streets of Ningcheng, Zhuang Zhenmeng felt indescribably comfortable in her heart. Wearing a gorgeous dress, she felt that wherever she went, people looked at her with amazement.
This was a feeling Zhuang Zhenmeng had never experienced before. Being a superior person—it was so good!
"Go away, you two beggars, don't you have eyes when you walk?"
Zhuang Zhenmeng was walking on the street when she was suddenly blocked by a ragged couple. She really wanted to kick the couple if there weren't two young men watching her opposite.
When the couple heard Zhuang Zhenmeng's voice, they quickly raised their heads.
The old woman's hand, like a withered stick, grabbed Zhuang Zhenmeng's wrist. With a trembling voice, she said to Zhuang Zhenmeng, "Zhen...Zhenmeng, is it really you? Dad and Mom have been searching for you so hard!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ke burst into tears.
When Zhuang Zhenmeng heard Mrs. Ke's voice, she almost lost her balance. When she saw clearly that the old couple in front of her were really her father and her mother, she hurriedly grabbed the maid who followed her out.
Zhuang Zhenmeng said to the maid, "Hurry... hurry and help me go. I don't know these two beggars."
Being called beggars by their own daughter, Mrs. Ke and Old Man Shu were so angry that they almost fainted.
Madam Ke pointed at Zhuang Zhenmeng and cursed, "You unfilial daughter! I've painstakingly raised you for over a decade. Now that you've found a rich father, have you forgotten your mother? I'm telling you, if you dare disown us, we'll come to the Zhuang family and expose your scandal!"
Zhuang Zhenmeng, who had run more than ten meters away, stopped in her tracks when she heard what Mrs. Ke said. With a smile uglier than tears, she said to Mrs. Ke, "Godmother...godfather, I can't believe it's really you and godfather. I thought I'd been possessed by a demon and recognized the wrong people. Haha...I was so scared."
With a look of reluctance on her face, Zhuang Zhenmeng walked to Mrs. Ke's side, but she intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from Mrs. Ke and Old Man Shu.
Old Shu snorted angrily and cursed, "Originally, we didn't dare acknowledge you, this unfilial daughter. If you hadn't just called us beggars, I really couldn't imagine that the person standing in front of me was my daughter, who I have been with for more than ten years. Today, your mother and I finally see your true face."
Fearing that Old Man Shu and Madam Ke would actually reveal their identities to the General's Mansion, Zhuang Zhenmeng could only force a smile and explain, "Godfather, I'm sorry. Actually, I've been in the capital for so many days, and this is the first time I've left the General's Mansion. Who would have thought I'd run into you two on the street just this once? In my mind, you've always been in Guangming Village, so I definitely thought you were two beggars standing in front of me. You can't blame me for that."
"I'd believe you if you said that!"
Zhuang Zhenmeng is her daughter after all. Mrs. Ke is afraid that Old Man Shu will quarrel with Zhuang Zhenmeng on the street, and everything will be revealed. Wouldn’t her daughter be finished then?
She quickly pulled Old Man Shu aside and said, "Alright, didn't you hear what Zhen Meng said? Since this is just a misunderstanding, let's just talk it out. If you have anything to say, let's find a quiet place to talk. It would be embarrassing if people saw us on the street."
Mrs. Ke's words struck a chord with Zhuang Zhenmeng, and she quickly agreed, "That's right, godfather. If you have anything to say, let's go somewhere quiet. You and godmother look exhausted, so I guess you two haven't eaten yet, right?"
