Huang Ying and Xu Cheng gaped in shock. Afraid that the caretaker would hear, the two quickly dragged the old lady into the house.
The caretaker was arranged to work here by Old lady Ruan and was also paid by her. That would just mean that even though the caretaker was working at their house, she was still someone under the Ruan Family.
If such an important matter got to the Ruan Family, wouldn’t that mean trouble?
“Let go of me!” Being forcefully dragged into the house, the old lady shrugged off Huang Ying and Xu Cheng unhappily. “You guys sure are capable. I was wondering, upon Xu Cheng’s return, what you two had been up to, cooped up in the room for such a long time. It seems like both of you were thinking of how to impersonate someone else’s daughter. You’re both shameless!”
The old lady was a traditional woman, despite being a little greedy, a little selfish, having an imposing personality, and being stubborn. However, she would only act this way during meager matters in her everyday life. When it came to important matters where one’s principles were put to question, she wouldn’t do it, neither would she agree to it. After all, she had always prided herself as the scholar of the Xu Family.
“Mother, did you hear everything?” Huang Ying asked.
“I heard it all. Thank God I heard it all. If not, I wouldn’t have known how shameless you are, Huang Ying. Being a widow made you restless, and you went to seduce another woman’s husband. Not only that, but you got caught in the act, implicating all of us, getting us all chased out of the Ruan Family. It has only been a few days, but here you are, acting up again? You failed to seduce one’s husband, so now you’re instructing your own daughter to pretend to be someone else’s. What exactly are you doing, Huang Ying? Don’t be so cheap! You have been the Xu Family’s daughter-in-law for so many years, have you forgotten the Xu Family’s style?”
As she listened on to the old lady demeaning her, telling her she was cheap, Huang Ying could no longer take it. “Don’t you dare talk about the Xu Family’s style. What style? When did you guys have a style? You Xus are arrogant and refuse to admit when you’re in the wrong! You clearly weren’t able to go on any longer but stubbornly insisted that you were dropped by the Ruan Family to give Old lady Ruan a visit. You really think the Ruans are fools, that they weren’t able to tell that we were just there to ask for their help? They were only concerned with your fragile heart, so they didn’t point things out! And family style? How useless is that? All these years, only two history professors came out from the Xu Family. The number of professors in the country is endless, so how special are those two? Having professors means that the entire Xu Family is well-educated? Aren’t you shameless!”
Huang Ying’s words caused the old lady to huff incredulously. “You scum… What scum you are! How blind was my son that he chose to marry you? No wonder Liao Cuicui refused to let Ruan Qishan marry you. Your character is just plain bad! You’re terrible!”
“Right, my character’s bad, I’m terrible!” Huang Ying chuckled coldly. “So what? I want to let Xu Cheng be someone else’s daughter now. Do you really think that being Lina’s daughter would just be some meaningless thing? When Xu Cheng becomes Lina’s daughter, she will be Lina’s lawful heir, and that means that family’s assets, worth thousands and billions, will be all Xu Cheng’s! That way, I can lead a good life. I’m tired of the bitter days I’ve led in the Xu Family. I want to be just like Wang Yazhi, a queen that is looked up to and sought after by many! So? What have I done wrong? How is the choice that I’ve made to better me and my daughter’s life wrong?”
As she spoke, Huang Ying reached out, clutching the old lady’s hands. “Mother, if you choose to cooperate with us, then once Xu Cheng rises up the ranks, you’ll be able to enjoy your life too.”
