Xia Sheng could not be bothered to explain further. She pulled a face and stared at the family expressionlessly.

Mother Song could not take it anymore. “Don’t make things difficult for Sheng Sheng. If she doesn’t want to say it, don’t force her.”

“Sheng Sheng, I didn’t mean to force you.” Song Mingyuan was at a loss. He was frustrated at his fierce attitude just now.

“But there are so many sweet-talking men outside. What if Sheng Sheng is being cheated?” Song Qian said in a sweet voice. She seemed to be concerned about Xia Sheng, but in fact, she was trying to find out who Xia Sheng’s marriage partner was. Which man made Xia Sheng hide it rather than tell her family?

A look of disgust flashed past Xia Sheng’s eyes. Before she could speak, Father Song seized the opportunity. “Enough. Sheng Sheng is no longer a child. I respect her choice.”

With Father Song’s help, Song Mingyuan stopped asking.

“Alright, alright. It’s rare for our family to be reunited. I’ll go tell the kitchen to prepare for the celebration.” Mother Song waved her hand and pulled Xia Sheng, not letting go.

“Sheng Sheng, accompany Mommy in the living room for a while. Mommy has a lot to tell you.”

Xia Sheng felt a warmth in her heart and nodded subconsciously. “Okay.”

Before she left, she glanced at Song Qian with a meaningful smile. If Song Qian wanted to pretend to be a white lotus and sow discord, then she would not be polite.

Xia Sheng was a little depressed when she thought of Huo Ye running away. This person ran away like a rabbit after eating everything. He was definitely a coward who did not even dare to bear the responsibility. She had been taken advantage of by him and had not received any compensation. No matter how she thought about it, it was a losing business.

In order to make the house livelier, Mother Song turned on the television. Coincidentally, the news about the Huo Corporation was on TV. Xia Sheng’s ears twitched and she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Mother Song noticed her small actions, but she didn’t disturb her and slowly stopped.

The news only lasted for a few seconds. Xia Sheng could not get much information from it and felt a little regretful. Mother Song waited patiently for the television to broadcast other content before switching channels.

Xia Sheng pretended to ask casually, “Is the Huo family very powerful?”

Little did she know that the Song Family and the Huo Family had never gotten along. If not for Xia Sheng’s curious look, Song Mingyuan would not want to hear the word ‘Huo’ from anyone else. Unable to resist Xia Sheng’s wet, deer-like eyes, he could not help but soften his heart.

“There’s nothing good about the Huo family. None of them have good intentions, and their family was almost ruined.” Recalling the conflicts he had with the Huo family in the past, Father Song gloated.

Right now, the Huo family was in a complete mess. They had no leader, and there were countless enemies outside, all of them were staring at them.

“That family of theirs doesn’t want to improve. They are useless. Sheng Sheng, don’t bother about them when you see them in the future, lest you get unlucky.” Song Mingyuan was a little worried and reminded Xia Sheng carefully. It was obvious that he despised the Huo family like a ferocious beast.

However, Xia Sheng fell into deep thought because of this. Considering Huo Ye’s sensitive identity, she guessed that it was probably because she went back to the Song family to acknowledge her kin, and the Huo family was in a mess again. The two of them were not of equal status, and he had lost his power and was in dire straits. He would only leave because he felt inferior. She was used to imagining things and found a reason for Huo Ye’s escape.

Thinking about it carefully, the young master of the Huo family, who had always been high and mighty, was suddenly reduced to a commoner with only two hands and a sickly body. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have been unable to withstand the blow and taken things too hard.

“It’s rare for our family to be reunited, so why are we talking about the Huo family?” Mother Song glared at Song Mingyuan with displeasure.

Song Mingyuan had lost count of how many times he had been despised today. He awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Mother Song remembered that she wanted to compensate Xia Sheng and did not let go of the details of her life. “After dinner, help Sheng Sheng clean her room again and pick the best in the house. Buy all the things that are missing as soon as possible. You can’t treat Sheng Sheng badly!”

Unfortunately for Song Mingyuan as he had to run a few more laps. Xia Sheng coughed dryly and answered obediently, “The room I’m in now is not bad. There’s nothing missing. I won’t trouble you for now.”

As she said this, she glanced at Song Qian from the corner of her eye. She saw that Song Qian was twisting her hands together so hard that her knuckles turned white.

She felt smug.

Song Qian was very familiar with this move. It was clearly something she had used on Xia Sheng previously. The other party had given her a taste of her own medicine, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Without Song Qian’s interference, Xia Sheng had a very happy life in the Song family. At night, under Mother Song’s strong request, Xia Sheng moved into the new room that Song Mingyuan had personally cleaned up.

She had just taken a shower when an uninvited guest arrived at the door. Song Qian was no longer as weak as she was during the day. She glared at Xia Sheng aggressively.

Xia Sheng blew her hair slowly. “What’s the matter?”

“Is it fun for you to copy me?” Song Qian asked coldly. “Don’t think that just because you pretended to be pitiful to gain everyone’s pity, you can do whatever you want in the Song family and take what belongs to me!”

Xia Sheng stood up abruptly and walked towards Song Qian. “Your things? You know very well who the Song family’s eldest daughter is. You also know very well who took whose things! I’ve never cared about snatching things from others, but if you don’t have a brain and jump around, I don’t mind making you lose everything!”

Her good mood was ruined by Song Qian. Song Qian was not only a white lotus, but also a stupid and greedy scheming woman. Having a brain was a good thing, but Song Qian didn’t have one.

How could Song Qian not understand the hidden meaning behind Xia Sheng’s words? She was so angry that her head was buzzing, and she started to speak without thinking. “Even if you’re being acknowledged, it’s still hard to change that ill-mannered temper of yours. Now Dad and Mom are doting on you, but once they see your true colors, they won’t fall for your tricks again!”

Xia Sheng’s expression froze and she quickly pushed Song Qian against the wall, covering her mouth. “If you want to die, I’ll send you off now!”

As she spoke, she exerted more force on her hand. Slowly, Song Qian’s breathing became uneven, and her face started to turn red. Fear crept into her eyes.

“You’ve lived in the Song family for so many years and they’ve never mistreated you. You must learn to be grateful.” As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Sheng let go.

Song Qian’s legs went soft, her whole body trembled, and she gasped for breath.

Meanwhile, Xia Sheng looked at her palm in disgust and took out a tissue to wipe her hands.

Song Qian still had lingering fear in her heart as she scolded angrily, “I want to tell Mom and Dad and let them see your real face!”

Xia Sheng had a faint smile on the corner of her lips, the corners of her beautiful eyes curved up and she took the initiative to open the door, making a gesture of sending her off. “Go and try, see who will be the unlucky one tomorrow.”

Song Qian’s face turned pale as she tried to show off her courage, “Don’t think you can scare me like this!”

Then, she left.

Xia Sheng smiled coldly without saying a word. After Song Qian left, she threw herself onto the bed in high spirits..
