The voices at the door were quite loud, and the people in the living room naturally heard them, but no one turned their heads to take a look. Sister Juan glanced at Yuan Niannian and turned to walk towards the living room.
The younger generations could be left waiting, but Yuan Guoming was, after all, Bai Shuyu's husband, Bai Family's son-in-law, so leaving him standing at the door didn't look good. After a while, he was invited in.
Just as he walked in, before Commander Bai and Mou Feng started speaking, Yuan Niannian suddenly rushed in front of Shen ng and bent over to kneel down.
"Sister, what are you doing? Just apologize. How can you kneel to soone."
"Siping, don't stop . It was my fault, I should apologize. As long as Brother Zhenping and sister-in-law can forgive , I deserve whatever I do. As long as they are willing to visit my mom in the hospital, I don't mind kneeling, even if they slap a few tis."
Shen ng picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip, showing no reaction at all. Lu Zhenping handed her a sliced apple with a smile, nodding at her to eat it.
Yuan Niannian stayed on her knees, left hanging like that, watching Lu Zhenping and Shen ng act so leisurely, filled with resentnt. Clenching her hands, she fiercely pinched her palm. If Yuan Siping hadn't been supporting her on the side, she would have felt like a clown.
"Zhenping, Xiao ng, Niannian knows she was wrong. Please forgive her. If she's not well-educated, it's mine and Shuyu's fault. I apologize to you as well. I hope you can forgive us. What happened today is our Yuan Family's fault. Whatever compensation you need, as long as you ask, I can provide it."
Although Yuan Guoming was apologizing, he didn't look remorseful at all. Especially when he looked at Lu Zhenping, there was a faint scrutinizing gaze.
The other brothers of the Yuan family frowned slightly, looking at their father's attitude with so dissatisfaction. The Yuan Family was a prestigious family in Shangjing. If they were wrong, they had to acknowledge it, and not only that, but do so sincerely—this was a family rule.
But looking at their father, Niannian, and Siping's behavior was utterly unexpected and not at all what was agreed upon before.
"Uncle, Aunt, Cousin Brother, Cousin Sister, it's late, we've been running around all day, it's ti for us to go back. I trouble Bai Yan, Cousin, to see us off."
"We just filled up the tank on the way out, and Zhenping can drive. You haven't bought your return tickets yet, so enjoy yourself in Shangjing. Let Zhenping take the car, here are the keys. If you find the guesthouse uncomfortable, co stay at ho, a room is ready for you."
Mou Feng also stood up, handing the things given by the old lady on the table to Su i.
"You scatterbrained girl, almost forgot such important things."
"En, thank you, Aunt. I've had this problem since I was a child. The guesthouse is quite comfortable, so we won't bother you at ho. Let's go, Zhenping!"
"Alright."
Shen ng and Lu Zhenping didn't look at the Yuan Family mbers the whole ti.
Feeling slighted by a young person, Yuan Guoming's face turned a bit unsightly. Just as he was about to say sothing, his eldest son held him back on the arm.
"Dad, it was our Yuan family's fault, and you spoke so arrogantly just now. They don't owe us anything, what exactly do you want?"
"You brat, how can you talk to your dad like that? Am I not feeling stifled in my heart?"
"Are you blaming mom?"
"How could I bear to bla her? I'm a man; I need ti to accept it."
Commander Bai, passing by the father and son, overheard this and his expression changed imdiately. They're already having grandchildren, yet still entangled in this. Back then, the man surnad Yuan knew Shuyu's situation, and it was him who insisted on marrying. With one foot in the grave, he still needs ti to accept it? Accept his grandmother's leg.
Seeing that people from the Bai Family were all going to send off Lu Zhenping and Shen ng, Yuan Siping got angry, let go of Yuan Niannian, and chased after them.
"Stop, who allowed you to leave? My dad just talked to you, and you juniors didn't even respond. You have no manners, apologize to my dad. Are you deaf? Didn't you hear speaking, you wretched..."
"Slap!"
"You dare hit ."
Lu Zhenping saw Shen ng shaking her wrist and quickly went over to rub it for her.
"Does it hurt? Look at you, if you wanted to hit soone, you could have told . No need to do it yourself."
Shen ng shook her head and then turned to Yuan Siping.
"What were you going to curse just now, bastard? You are born of the sa mother. If he is a bastard, what are you? Yuan Siping, with all your big and small actions these years, do you think we are unaware? If not for Commander Bai, do you really think we wouldn't dare to touch you?"
"Xiao ng, what are you saying? What actions? Siping, what did you say behind my back, make it clear to !"
Commander Bai shouted sternly, making everyone present fearful and silent. As a commander who has been through life and death countless tis, when he gets angry, even Mou Feng and Bai Shuyu cannot stop him.
Without waiting for Yuan Siping to say anything, Yuan Niannian quietly moved over.
"Uncle, please don't..."
"I'm asking Yuan Siping, are you Yuan Siping?"
Yuan Niannian was also frightened into silence, timidly standing behind Yuan Siping. Seeing his sister's frightened look, Yuan Siping exploded as well. All these years, he just couldn't understand what was so good about Lu Zhenping that so many people in the family favored him, even making the grandparents rember him in their final monts. If he was so important, why not bring him over from the countryside early on?
"So what if it's ? I just can't stand him. Why should everyone, uncle, aunt, the second uncle, and third uncle, all openly and secretly help him, why did my grandparents think about him until they died? What's so good about him? He's just a bastard from the countryside, causing our family to be a divided ss. He still wants to marry my Niannian sister? Him being acknowledged by my sister is a lifeti's fortune. As for Shen ng, a country bumpkin, how dare she hit my sister, hit , and act bossy in the Bai Family. What right does she have?"
"And what rights do you have? You rely on your uncles and your dad's power. Otherwise, who would pay attention to you? You have no achievents, no abilities, and only know how to engage in petty acts. After busying yourself for so many years, have you succeeded in anything? Zhenping was sent to the countryside at such a young age. He knew nothing, did nothing wrong. Do you think he wants to be Bai Shuyu's son? If he knew he was abandoned at birth, he probably would rather never have been born into this world."
Shen ng's words hit everyone deeply, and Yuan Siping was montarily stunned.
