“They’re my friends. They’re the ones who saved my life yesterday. They’re my benefactors! Aren’t you going a little overboard, telling them to scram before I can even introduce them?”
“Benefactors?” Mrs. Sze sneered. “I think they’re just here to help you argue with me, right? You’re in university and have a bright future ahead of you. You’re surrounded by educated people, so you think you can drag some of them here to lecture me about the law and threaten me with jail? Sze Lingyun, I think you’re too far up your own *ss. Do you think I’m afraid of your friends? You’re all b*stards! Get lost! All of you, get lost!”
It would have been fine if she had not mentioned her life being saved. When she did, Mrs. Sze immediately thought back to Nangong Nuannuan’s threat the previous night. She instantly grew furious. Not only did she not thank Nangong Nuannuan for saving her daughter’s life, but she even scolded Sze Lingyun.
Nangong Nuannuan initially thought that they should just wait in the car. After all, she had X-ray vision, so she would be able to keep an eye on Sze Lingyun even from the house behind the car. She did not want to aggravate her mother. However, when she saw that Sze Lingyun was still as calm as placid water despite being harshly scolded by her mother, she dispelled this thought.
If Nuannuan did not leave, Chi Yang would definitely not leave either. Wu Pingting, who wanted to support Sze Lingyun the most, would definitely not leave too.
Sze Lingyun glanced at her mother, turned around, and said to Nuannuan and the other two, “Big Brother Chi, Nuannuan, Pingting, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Wu Pingting shot a disdainful glance at Mrs. Sze and turned around. She was about to leave.
“Sze Lingyun, are you rebelling against me? If you dare take another step forward, you’re no longer my daughter!”
However, after she finished speaking… One step, two steps, three steps… Sze Lingyun started walking. Indeed, she took many steps. Seeing that the group was about to reach the car, Mrs. Sze angrily yelled, “Sze Lingyun, stop right there!”
Mr. Sze heard the argument outside and rushed out. Seeing that Sze Lingyun was about to leave, he quickly rushed over to stop the group.
“Yunyun, your mother has been in a bad mood since yesterday. Please be considerate. You know that she’s recently gone through menopause. She can lose her temper anytime, so don’t be difficult with her. After all, she’s your mother. You can’t leave us! We’re still counting on you to take care of us til the day we die.”
After Mr. Shi spoke to Sze Lingyun, he turned to look at Chi Yang and the other two. He greeted them with a smile and said, “You guys are Yunyun’s friends, right? Come, come! Please come in.”
While Mr. Sze spoke to Sze Lingyun, Sze Junyan quietly spoke to Mrs. Shi.
“Mom, stop scolding me! I like that Nuannuan girl. You have to help me out later.”
“Which one is Nuannuan?”
“She’s the girl that man is hugging. What do you think? Pretty, right?”
“That girl… Doesn’t she have a boyfriend?”
“So what if she does? Our family will have five houses soon. Will he be richer than I’ll soon be? Women always look for men with money and power. Look at the women that I used to chase but failed to catch. A few of them did nothing but ignore me, and now… They see that I’m rich, so they all come crawling back to me. Anyway, Mom, I’ve already fallen in love with Nuannuan. She’s your daughter-in-law now. Don’t scold her later.”
“I know, I know.”
The two of them were standing quite far away from the crowd and were speaking quietly, but Chi Yang, who had improved superpowers now, could hear them. His body instantly went cold.
