She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 663: Chapter 689: Are You Really That Kind-hearted?

“What are you blabbering about?” Yang Xiaoman vehemently denied, “I’m here because my stomach hurts, to see the doctor.”

“Oh!” Sheng Ning drew out the word, waiting until Yang Xiaoman looked at her nervously before she said, “I’m here to see her. I heard she’s getting discharged today. As friends, I thought I should show some concern.”

“You… you’re so kind?” Yang Xiaoman clearly did not believe her and was equally surprised that she admitted it so honestly.

“Not really!” Sheng Ning shook her head, then provocatively stepped past Yang Xiaoman and walked inside.

“Wait for me…”

Inside the hospital room, Zhou Yuan was in a rage, she couldn’t believe that such a major incident had happened overnight. The crux of the matter was, Su Yun had just visited Lanlan the day before, and by the next morning, she was expelled from her family.

This was like telling the world that Su Yun’s expulsion had something to do with Lanlan, which could lead many to speculate wildly.

“The Su Family is just too much. How could they do this?” Zhou Yuan was furiously indignant, “This is clearly deliberate.”

“Mom, are you worried about Aunt Su Yun?”

“Of course not!” Zhou Yuan said irritably, “What worries me is the impact Su Yun’s expulsion from the family may have on your reputation.”

Hai Lan immediately panicked at the thought, knowing full well how important one’s reputation is. “What should we do then?”

“We’re in trouble,” Zhou Yuan stopped packing, sat down with her arms crossed, “Originally, Su Yun was a power supporter of ours, but now that she’s been expelled, people will think the Su Family is fully backing Yang Wenying. Your father’s pressure will be much less effective.”

“But Yang Wenying has been suspended.”

“Suspension can be lifted anytime; it’s just a matter of Shen Feihu’s word.”

“Would Chairman Shen dare to disregard our Hai Family’s face so blatantly?” Hai Lan said proudly, “As long as my uncle steps in, Chairman Shen would surely listen obediently.”

“Lanlan, do you really think your uncle would stand up for you? You wish!”

“Damn it!” Hai Lan pounded her fists on the bed furiously. Why wasn’t she Hai Baobao, why wasn’t it her uncle who adopted her? Then she would see who would dare to provoke her.

“Mom, you and dad aren’t just going to let this slide, are you?” she asked, unconvinced.

“Of course not, she caused your leg injury to be permanent, how could I let it go so easily? Just wait and see. I will make them give you an explanation,” Zhou Yuan said calmly after taking a sip of water. “But for now, better not to associate with Su Yun until we figure out the Su Family’s real motives. Just watch for now.”

“But… if Aunt Su Yun is still Chairman Meng’s wife, wouldn’t we offend the Meng Family by doing this?”

Zhou Yuan looked at Hai Lan with a hint of disappointment. After all, she wasn’t the true darling of the Hai Family. A beggar will always be a beggar, too petty. As long as the old man is alive, and while her uncle is around, the Hai Family doesn’t need to fear anyone. Observing is not about fear of offending, but weighing the pros and cons.

Sheng Ning and Yang Xiaoman overheard the conversation from the doorway, their teeth itching with hatred. Dabao was the real victim, yet everything was now being twisted as someone else’s fault. Just how thick could Hai Lan’s skin be?

Suddenly the door to the ward was pushed open, and the mother and daughter looked out in shock.

Zhou Yuan exploded, “Who are you? How dare you be so rude?”

“If anyone’s rude, it’s certainly not us. We have more manners than you do,” Sheng Ning stepped in first, her gaze icy cold as she looked at Hai Lan on the bed, “You really are good at pretending, aren’t you? Pretending your leg is fine and deliberately wearing a cast; it must be uncomfortable, right?”
