Chapter 137 -0137 Maybe This Is Her Retribution

Sheng Xueqian grew increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, tears and snot flowing freely, completely disregarding her appearance.

“I really never expected that the sister I’ve always defended and adored could treat me like this!”

Sheng Xueqin watched her cousin put on such a drama with a cold laugh, all because she usually pretended to be a pig to eat tigers, and she had been overly careless!

“You still want to keep acting? If you hadn’t done these things, would Huo Tingyang have bit you for no reason?”

Sheng Yunwu really couldn’t stand it any longer and coldly shouted.

“Enough!”

He pulled Sheng Xueqian behind him, obviously protective.

“Xueqin, don’t go too far in treating your sister aggressively.

Today, you are the one who caused a scene, not Xueqian. What right do you have to accuse her here? To slander her without any proof?

Do you now disregard everyone? Dad, you rest first, it seems we are not welcome here; we might as well not stand here and offend the elder Miss Sheng.”

“Second brother, Xueqin didn’t do it intentionally, and furthermore, Dad…”

Sheng Yunwen was about to say something but was bluntly rebuffed by Sheng Yunwu.

“The old man has his eldest son and Miss Sheng to care for him, we are not needed here, why bother continuing to be disliked?”

Saying this, he dragged Sheng Xueqian away.

As soon as the two had left the hospital room, the old man Sheng berated Sheng Xueqin fiercely.

“Do you even have a brain? What have you learned overseas all these years? To be so easily schemed against? You… You are a disgrace to me!”

Sheng Xueqin’s hands clenched tightly into fists, her eyes full of grievance as she looked at the old man Sheng.

“Grandpa, I can explain this.”

“Explain? What will you explain? Explain how you were schemed against by that bastard of the Huo Family? He says it was Xueqian trying to harm you, and you believed him? What reason would Xueqian have to do that!”

“She is jealous of how much you favor me, jealous of your affection, jealous of my capabilities! She is not as simple as she appears on the surface, Grandpa, don’t be fooled by this girl.”

Sheng Xueqin completely lost her usual composure, unable to accept that she had been outwitted to such an extent by a girl she never took seriously.

The old man Sheng’s chest heaved dramatically, his trembling finger pointing at Sheng Xueqin.

“You… Get out!”

“Grandpa, I…”

“Xueqin, listen to your grandfather, don’t speak anymore.”

Sheng Yunwen’s words still had a deterrent effect, and Sheng Xueqin bit her lip and fell silent.

“Dad, you must be very tired today, your health is important, rest well, and Xueqin and I will not disturb your rest any longer.”

The old man Sheng closed his eyes, no longer making a sound.

As the father and daughter of the Sheng Family left the hospital room, the door closing behind them, Sheng Yunwen’s eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness, giving Sheng Xueqin a cold look that made her inadvertently step back.

“Dad…”

“Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have such an incompetent daughter!

You failed to keep Huo Tingxiao and now you’re involved with a bastard from the Huo Family.

“All the efforts I’ve put into your upbringing… if your grandfather becomes disappointed because of this, do you know what the consequences will be?”

Sheng Xueqin bit her lips tightly, not daring to utter a word of rebuttal.

“If this is not handled well, I don’t think you are fit to be the heir to the Sheng Family anymore. My daughter, Sheng Yunwen’s, turns out to be so brainless that anyone can set a trap and you’ll just jump right into it.”

Sheng Yunwen, fearful that the old master Sheng might overhear, tried to control his volume but could not hide his anger.

“Dad, I know I was wrong, I just got carried away. Don’t worry, I have already negotiated terms with the Huo Family. I will also preserve the reputation of the Sheng Family, and not only that, it won’t be long before the century-old status of the six major families is reshuffled.”

Seeing how confidently Sheng Xueqin spoke, Sheng Yunwen’s expression finally relaxed a bit.

“That’s more like it. Remember, you are the heir to the Sheng Family. There are many who covet this position. I only have you as my daughter, you are all my hope, so never let me down.”

He patted Sheng Xueqin on the shoulder without offering a word of comfort. Sheng Xueqin had long grown used to maximizing her advantages in any situation. She also understood that the business world doesn’t believe in tears, but relies on strength and cunning.

The real battle was just beginning, and she would not miss any opportunity to turn the Huo Family upside down to cleanse today’s humiliation!

———–

In the Huo Family’s large mansion, the study.

To avoid complicating matters further, aside from Han Yongmei, nobody else mentioned Huo Tingyang’s issue.

Upon hearing that Huo Tingyang, the illegitimate son, was to be recognized and brought back to the family, Han Yongmei turned pale with anger.

“Old Master, are you trying to slap my face, or Tingxiao’s face?”

Huo Tingxiao, on the other hand, appeared calm, as if it were none of his business.

“Mom, I’ve agreed to it.”

Han Yongmei looked at Huo Tingxiao in shock, her lips trembling.

“You… agreed? You actually agreed?”

Mu Lan secretly tugged at Huo Tingxiao’s sleeve, feeling a hint of sympathy for Han Yongmei. After all, as a wife, dealing with her husband’s extramarital fun is one thing, but accepting his child with another woman is beyond the saintly.

For Huo Tingxiao to not only stand against her, but also to agree, was like a double betrayal.

“Mom, Tingxiao has his own considerations, after all, Grandfather also mentioned it’s for the reputation of the Huo Family…”

These words seemed fine at first, but the message was clear—when the Old Master speaks, who can say no? Anyway, the responsibility shouldn’t fall on Tingxiao.

“Dad, if you still consider me your daughter-in-law, you shouldn’t have agreed to this.”

The Old Master also looked troubled, but at this point, what’s said could not be unsaid. As the saying goes, spilled water can’t be gathered up again.

“Yongmei, I know you’ve always been a sensible daughter-in-law and it’s Qidong who has wronged you. Please consider it a favor for my sake, would you?

Moreover, I promise that even if we recognize that illegitimate son, I won’t let him enter the Huo family’s company, nor will he have a stake in the Huo family’s assets.

The sole heir to the Huo family will only be Tingxiao, I assure you of this.”

Han Yongmei looked at the Old Master, her eyes cold as ice. In the face of the Huo Family’s reputation, her dignity meant nothing.

She had upheld her duty as a good daughter-in-law in the Huo family for many years, yielding time and again, compromising over and over, but what did she get in return? The Huo Family took more liberties each time!

From the very start of this marriage, it was she who constantly made compromises, until she became numb, and she even treated her daughter-in-law, Mu Lan, in the same manner.

Perhaps this was her retribution, turning a once passionate person into a puppet.

“Dad, I can agree to you recognizing Huo Tingyang’s identity, but please, grant me one request.”
