She Lives without Regret in This Life

”Great Uncle, I will help you manage the Feng Family until someone truly outstanding emerges from the Feng Family.” Sheng Ning held Mr. Feng’s hand, clearly noticing that his body temperature was gradually disappearing, slowly turning cold.

Ever since they met, it could be said they had been intellectually sparring for a long time. Towards this elderly man, she had felt dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and rejection. But all these were enough to be offset by gratitude.

He had helped her.

He trusted her.

He even admired her.

That was enough.

”Family Head, it’s a pity you didn’t get to see him one last time, he had important last words he didn’t have the chance to tell you.” This was a significant matter, the core secret of the Feng Family was only passed down orally between family head successors.

He didn’t have the chance to say it, which was a tremendous loss for both the Feng Family and Sheng Ning.

”It’s okay.”

”But...” Housekeeper Xing wanted to say something, but Sheng Ning gave him a look, and he paused, quickly falling silent.

Just now, Sheng Ning’s demeanor was completely aligned with that of Mr. Feng.

”Housekeeper Xing, thank you for your efforts, please arrange a funeral for Great Uncle! Also, convene a full family meeting.”

”Yes!” Upon hearing a family meeting was to be convened, Housekeeper Xing immediately stood solemnly ready.

The most critical moment was coming next.

”Chen Yingjie has arrived.”

”Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and Chen Yingjie strode in, taking one look at Mr. Feng on the bed without even blinking.

”Sister-in-law, are you alright? I heard some brat bit you?”

”I’m fine.” Sheng Ning smiled at Chen Yingjie, ”Where is she?”

”On the first floor.” As he came up, people downstairs had already started gathering, so Chen Yingjie placed Feng Zhenzhen downstairs.

Half an hour later, everyone in the Feng Family gathered in the hall. The direct descendants were all seated, those with mixed heritage had no seats and could only stand. The exits were blocked by bodyguards standing all around.

There was another area for senior management like Housekeeper Xing and Chief Ni.

Sheng Ning walked down step by step from the second floor, followed by Housekeeper Xing and Chen Yingjie. The originally noisy hall fell into an eerie silence upon her appearance.

Just before, Housekeeper Xing repeatedly requested Sheng Ning to change clothes. It was something Mr. Feng had prepared long ago; a black, stand-collar suit that slightly resembled a Zhongshan suit but differed significantly from it.

The women’s tailoring showcased her lines beautifully. The stand-collar style, with a white handkerchief in the chest pocket, added a layer of aloofness and dominance that kept others at a distance when she remained stern-faced in the attire.

With slightly pursed red lips and fierce eyes, casting a glance with overwhelming presence.

The hall fell into complete silence, everyone nervously watching her. Those who previously disregarded her suddenly realized the person they looked down upon might be the last person to cross.

The ones who waited for Mr. Feng’s passing, with thoughts of eliminating her, couldn’t help but retreat.

”I, Sheng Ning, from this moment on, will be your new Family Head.” Sheng Ning spoke in a deep voice, each word clear and powerful, like hammers striking the ground. ”From now on, everything of the Feng Family listens to me.”

”...” Below was an eerie silence.

In Housekeeper Xing’s heart, he felt particularly gratified. Miss Sheng Ning gave him an enormous surprise, making him once again admire Mr. Feng’s insight.

What he admired most in his life was Mr. Feng, because Mr. Feng’s insight on people never failed.
