Upon hearing Sheng Qian's words, the couple appeared visibly flustered yet forced to remain calm.
Sheng Li was the first to coldly rebuke: "You brat, have you grown too big for your britches? Don't you want to acknowledge us anymore? You're deliberately poking at our hearts. If you weren't our biological daughter, do you think we would have raised you all this time? Everything we've given you—the food, the clothes—is just like our own daughter's. Look at all those abandoned children outside, how many are there? You're such a spoiled brat, you don't know how lucky you are, and now that you've grown wings, you want to break away from your parents..."
“Your dad is right, why should we support an outsider?” Luo Minjuan straightened her chest instantly, her confidence growing. “If we hear these words again, I’ll break your legs.”
"Ahem," Sheng Li coughed, reminding Luo Minjuan that Sheng Qian was now the daughter-in-law of the Long family, and no longer someone they could beat or scold at will.
Luo Minjuan's expression turned sour. "Don't let me hear you say those things again. I don't care if you're married or not, I'll beat you anyway."
Sheng Qian glanced at the two of them but didn't ask any further questions.
Because she was given a definite answer from the very beginning.
Could it be that the original owner of this body was really a daughter of the Helan family?
Sheng Qian said, "Long Yunting and I have some things to take care of this afternoon, so we'll be leaving now."
As she spoke, Sheng Qian placed the two packets of money on the table. "This is for you, one packet for each of you."
"You brat, what do you take us for? You think you can just fob us off with this little bit of money? Back then, we raised you from infancy, feeding you and changing your diapers..." Luo Minjuan saw that the envelope wasn't very full and thought it was too little, so she started wailing.
Sheng Qian glanced at them and said, "In that case, I'll take it back first."
Luo Minjuan suddenly pounced over and snatched the money from the table.
Sheng Qian: "..."
Shengli didn't dare say it was too little, and clutched it to his chest.
“There’s a gift with Guan Hua,” Sheng Qian said, then turned and left.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously opened the envelope and looked inside. Good heavens, it was full of hundred-yuan bills.
Brand new!
It's not thick, but there's quite a lot when you count it.
The two of them finally felt much better.
Fortunately, this girl doesn't know that she's not their biological child.
Otherwise, we won't get the money.
The two of them became even more hesitant to tell Sheng Qian the truth, at least not during their lifetime.
Sheng Qian came out, and Long Yunting was already waiting.
When their eyes met, Sheng Qian nodded slightly to him.
This indicates that it has been confirmed.
Long Yunting opened the car door and nodded to the villagers gathered around him.
"Sister, brother-in-law, how much longer can you stay in town?" Sheng Guanhua was reluctant to let them leave, but he couldn't ask them to stay.
“I probably won’t be staying too long,” Sheng Qian said. “You should focus on your exams, and I’ll be waiting to see you in the capital.”
"Okay, I will definitely pass the exam!"
"Don't make any big promises yet."
“I’m not exaggerating!” Sheng Guanhua’s eyes were full of seriousness.
Sheng Qian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting to celebrate with you."
As Sheng Qian and the others left, Sheng Guanhua's eyes darkened.
"Guanhua, that brat said she has a gift for us. What is it? Hurry up and show it to Mom and Dad." Luo Minjuan didn't care how long Sheng Qian could stay in town; she just wanted to get something for herself.
“It’s in my room, I’ll get it for you,” Sheng Guanhua said, leading the two inside and taking out a cell phone for each of them. “These are cell phones my sister brought back from Beijing. One for you and one for Dad, so it’ll be easier to contact each other in the future!”
"cell phone!"
Luo Minjuan was both surprised and delighted, so excited that she almost dropped her phone.
They looked at the advertisements on the phone and became more and more envious. They never thought they could own such high-end items!
The two exchanged another glance, becoming even more determined not to tell the truth to a third party.
This secret must be kept firmly in mind.
They treat anyone with money like their own daughter, and they don't care about anything else.
Looking at their phones, Luo Minjuan and Sheng Li felt a little better.
This brat has some conscience; she knows to buy them gifts.
Regardless of how excitedly they were studying the phone, Sheng Qian and Long Yunting became serious after leaving the village. "It's now confirmed that I am not a daughter of the Sheng family."
certainly.
Apart from her soul still belonging to the Sheng family.
This Sheng family is not the same as that Sheng family.
What are your plans next?
Long Yunting didn't care whose daughter she was; all he knew was that Sheng Qian was his wife.
Sheng Qian remained calm, saying, "It doesn't matter whose daughter I am."
“The Helan family will definitely investigate,” Long Yunting said, looking at her. “If it’s confirmed that you are a daughter of the Helan family, there are some things you will have to face. But no matter what, I will stand by your side, and no one can hurt you.”
Sheng Qian smiled and reached out to shake his other hand, which had released the steering wheel: "Although I'm happy to hear that, I can protect myself."
"Qianqian, I hope you can rely on me more."
Sheng Qian looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "I will try to rely on you more."
Long Yunting then put his hands back on the steering wheel.
*
They left the town that night and went to the county seat.
I visited a cigarette factory.
When Dai Jianwen and the others saw Long Yunting, they couldn't help but feel happy!
Back then, they could only hang out on the streets, looking up at people like Long Yunting. Now, they can stand and chat with such a person; it all feels like a dream.
After wandering around the county town, Sheng Qian didn't go to see Old Madam Ju.
However, after obtaining Sheng Qian's hair in the carriage, Madam Ju had it sent out. Midway through the journey, it was taken over by someone sent by Helan Zhi. Upon learning that it was Helan Zhi's people who personally took over, Madam Ju felt relieved.
