ng Jinyang entered with Xi Yan and saw the woman, who was in her forties, smiling fawningly.
It was her mother, Wang Yafang, and her father ng Jun.
“Gu Mang, we’re just here to visit Jinyang. Ah Hao said that he misses his sister.” As she spoke she carried the boy and pointed at ng Jinyang who was at the door. “Ah Hao, that is your sister, Jinyang, quickly go and call her.”
ng Yuhao dashed over and grabbed ng Jinyang’s hand. “Sister, your uniform looks beautiful. I want to wear it too. Your school even has a huge supermarket. Do you have money to buy sothing nice to eat?”
ng Jinyang froze and she looked down at him without any expression.
Gu Mang’s cold and distant eyes narrowed as she shot a glance at ng Yuhao who had no regard for anything. Chuckling softly, she said, “If I rember correctly, you threw away all the things that Jinyang left behind as though you’d never given birth to her. Your son must have only learned he had a sister from the news.”
Her words seed to have hit the nail on the head for Wang Yafang. Feeling embarrassed, the latter said as her confidence seeped away, “But she is still my daughter.”
ng Jun seconded, “Gu Mang, thank you for taking care of Jinyang for all these years. She is so outstanding now and even if she returns to the town she will be regarded as having returned to her hotown with honors. Nobody will look down on her again and wag their tongues at her. Furthermore, our blood is flowing in her and we should not forget our roots.”
ng Yuhao lifted his head. “She is my biological sister. My father said that even if the bones are broken, the tendons link us together. We’re one family.”
His house had been receiving many guests lately and was really lively. They even gave him presents and snacks. His mother had said that all of it was to his sister’s credit and the family was looking to count on her. He also wished to attend school in the city and enjoy all the good food that was available.
Looking at her son with a comforting gaze, the lady spoke proudly, “Everyone in the town said that Jinyang appeared on the television’s national news. She has truly brought honor to our town.”
She appeared on the television as a victim. What kind of honor was that?
ng Jinyang pursed her lips and images from more than a decade ago appeared in her head.
“How embarrassing, that ng family’s daughter. Such a thing happened to her when she’s so young. Our entire town has lost face because of her.”
“That’s right, how can evil befall her without rhy or reason? It’s her own bad character that brought bad things upon her. Moreover, it takes two to tango. There are so many girls in our town but why was she... Aye, how embarrassing.”
“Let’s stay away from the ng family in case we get their bad luck.”
Now they were saying that she was bringing honor to the town. An unspeakable chilliness rose in ng Jinyang’s heart. These people were truly parasites.
Gu Mang stretched her arm and placed it casually on the eting table as her finger tapped the table. The annoyance in her eyes was faint. “I’m not in a mood to listen to you play the family card. ng Jinyang isn’t going back today.”
Wang Yafang got anxious and stood up. “Gu Mang, what do you an? She is my daughter so what right do you have to ddle in this!”
ng Jinyang’s matter brought the ng family quite a few benefits. There were many reporters interviewing them and giving them money to persuade ng Jinyang to do a special interview. They would receive more money afterwards.
ng Jun, who had been assuming airs, could not help but say, “Gu Mang, don’t be too ruthless. Our family is reuniting and an outsider like you should not poke your nose in our affairs!”
Xi Yan frowned. She could roughly guess the motive behind the couple’s arrival at the school. ng Jinyang was a hot topic and could generate money. However, as her parents, they seed to have made pigs of themselves.
“Don’t poke my nose into your affairs?” Gu Mang slowly repeated the words. Her eyes were filled with terrifying darkness as her aura beca more stifling. With the corner of her lips upturned, her ruthlessness was exposed slightly. “Sure. ng Jinyang has been spending my money for the past ten years. Pay back and she will have nothing to do with in the future.”
