Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Little Trick?
Shangguan Heng quickly reacted; after all, this wasn’t the first or second ti he had been squeezed and ridiculed by Song Yunuan.
His face had long beco worthless in front of her.
So he obediently and enthusiastically greeted Xia Bowen.
Jin Huining had not spoken throughout.
She was not like Xue irou.
That woman was actually very lucky, spoiled to the point of losing all senses of reality by Zhong Daqiao.
In earlier years, she was quite low-key and humble, especially polite in front of them.
But in recent years, due to their dissatisfaction, she had beco increasingly arrogant.
She did whatever she wanted.
No matter what she did, Zhong Daqiao acted as if under a spell, always indulging her.
Even at his advanced age, he still doted on her.
Zhong Daqiao was indeed not fickle-hearted; he hadn’t even thought of taking a bite of the flower-like beauties that were his female secretaries.
He was truly faithful to Xue irou.
Such a Xue irou was envied and coveted by everyone.
A woman from the garbage lanes, turned her life completely around with Zhong Daqiao’s help.
She not only took over Hai Mingzhu’s man but also took over Hai Mingzhu’s wealth.
For so ti, she would deliberately wear Hai Mingzhu’s jewelry to various gatherings.
Because she was so bold, nobody dared to say a word against her.
So at the Zhong family’s banquets, people had grown accustod to Xue irou’s inappropriate and arrogant comnts.
As long as Zhong Daqiao was pleased, what could others do?
However, Jin Huining was different; she was clear on how she had risen up the ranks.
Her position was not unassailable.
She also had vulnerabilities in Shangguan Heng’s hands.
Now, there were younger won around Shangguan Heng.
This was a disgusting old thing.
But she just couldn’t leave.
She had to hold on to this position to provide backing for her son and daughter.
She could also continue living a life of wealth beyond ordinary people’s imagination.
Otherwise, the Shangguan family’s fortune might have nothing to do with them.
She had naturally beco very cautious.
She rely stood by, cautiously accompanying with a proper, restrained smile.
After all, it was the first ti she had seen Shangguan Heng treated this way and yet daring not to flare up.
Her heart was full of turmoil.
But when she turned her head to look at Shangguan Xinxin, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, and she pinched Shangguan Xinxin’s waist.
She signaled for Shangguan Xinxin to hurry up and greet Song Yunuan.
Shangguan Xinxin didn’t feel the pinch as painful; on the contrary, she was very happy.
Miss Song, whom these two seed so wary of, was very endearing to her.
Even the gentleness she feigned had a few more sincere touches.
She greeted warmly, “Miss Song, I am Shangguan Xinxin.
I’m very pleased to et you.”
Song Yunuan glanced at Shangguan Xinxin.
She had a lot of information on the Shangguan family, all collected by Gu Huai’an.
Knowing oneself and the enemy ensured victory in every battle.
Although there was no photo of Shangguan Xinxin, there was such a person.
She and Shangguan Wenzhi, whom Song Yunuan had t in Nan City, were born of the sa mother, their mother being Shangguan Heng’s second wife.
However, the woman had died several years ago.
How did she die?
Of course, it had to do with the current wife, Jin Huining, and Shangguan Wan.
She was the sa age as Shangguan Wan.
Song Yulan would not make life difficult for anyone who was kind to her.
Especially young girls.
Song Yunuan smiled gently at her, but didn’t say anything.
If the other party was in an awkward position and she treated her differently, that would cause trouble for her.
But why hadn’t she seen Shangguan Wan today?
Did she know that she would co and deliberately hid away?
Song Yunuan, with all her sches, certainly didn’t think Shangguan Wan was too shy to et people.
She must have been unwilling to see her, but definitely not reconciled, perhaps planning so shady little trick.
Song Yunuan strolled forward leisurely.
Her casual, carefree deanor could make those unaware think she was the owner of this villa.
Even Shangguan Heng felt this illusion in his heart.
The usual procedures were omitted in front of Song Yunuan.
She directly sat down gracefully on the leather sofa in the living room.
It must be said that Shangguan Heng was truly wealthy.
Each item in the room highlighted his rich and luxurious life.
But obviously, so items looked out of place, clashing with the surrounding environnt, regardless of whether they were big or small, and they varied in style and condition.
Clearly, he had moved a lot of his possessions away.
Although the place was spotless, it was quite conspicuous.
Song Yunuan found it hilarious.
Logically, shouldn’t Shangguan Heng have shown off a bit?
Why had he moved out the valuable items?
Servants brought over tea and pastries, then respectfully left.
Shangguan Xinxin kept a gentle smile, speaking softly and gently with Song Yunuan.
Song Yunuan sized her up with a colorful expression.
It turns out this girl was quite the conversationalist.
Not arrogant like Shangguan Wan.
An orphan has to fend for themselves at an early age.
Shangguan Heng really wanted to ask Song Yunuan what she was doing there.
But he held his tongue, fearing he would be rebuffed by Song Yulan.
For instance, Song Yunuan might say, “Can’t I visit without a reason?”
Most people would be too embarrassed to say that, but Song Yunuan had the audacity.
At this ti, Xia Bowen sat beside Song Yunuan.
Not speaking.
Because he too didn’t know what Little Nuan intended to do.
If she had co for the Nine Dragons Inkstone, she might be disappointed.
By now, even if Shangguan Heng had taken it, his denials would leave everyone helpless, as there was no witness nor evidence.
The atmosphere was sowhat awkward.
Fortunately, Shangguan Xinxin was good at conversation and exchanged a few words with Song Yunuan.
This managed to break the awkward silence.
For the first ti, Shangguan Heng felt his daughter, who seed as useless as a wasted space, was sowhat useful.
Shangguan Heng addressed Song Yunuan, “I’ve prepared a sumptuous lunch.
These pastries are specially purchased from Hongyan Grand Restaurant, very fresh, and should be to Little Nuan your liking.
You could try them.”
He didn’t forget to extend his hospitality to Xia Bowen.
Xia Bowen finally understood he was just an afterthought.
But he didn’t mind.
In fact, he felt proud.
Whether acknowledged or not, Little Nuan was his descendant.
Jin Huining also spoke up, “Yes, Miss Song, for today’s lunch we specifically invited a top chef from Beidu.
Many of the flavors should be to your liking.”
Song Yunuan glanced at the pastries.
She thought to herself, with Shangguan Wan’s character, how could it be so easy for to eat here?
She might just be hiding sowhere, secretly spitting on these things.
That’s sothing Shangguan Wan would do.
So Song Yunuan asked with a beaming smile, “Speaking of which, Shangguan Wan and I are old friends, how co I didn’t see her today?”
This affectionate tone would make the uninford think she and Shangguan Wan were really good friends.
Jin Huining clenched her teeth secretly.
In her heart, she cursed: Damn little wretch, how dare you ntion my daughter, do you have any idea how much she has suffered at your hands when she went to Beidu?
You talk about old friends, shaless!
