She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 802: Chapter 838: The Old Master Protects His Own

Before Hai Shen could speak, Mr. Su became displeased. He and Mr. Hai were close friends, even closer than real brothers, and they treated each other’s younger generations as their own.

In other words, if they didn’t like something, they wouldn’t hesitate to scold you harshly.

”Lanlan, what you said is not right. Since when are we afraid of the cold? If you’re afraid of the cold and dirt, then stay at home and be your pampered princess. Don’t go. Since you’ve made the choice, you must have the spirit to sacrifice and be willing to contribute. Look at Ningning from my family. She joined the troupe a month ago and was performing with them. I just got the news the other day that they have already reached the passage to the Kashmir Plateau. Do you know how harsh the environment is there? Even men can’t handle it. Has Ningning ever complained once? Did she refuse to go?”

Mr. Su’s words made everyone in the Hai Family hang their heads in shame, especially Hai Shuangjie. He treated Hai Lan like his own daughter and hoped she could learn the fine revolutionary traditions and not disgrace the Hai family.

If these words were said outside, who knows what a big joke it would have caused.

Hai Lan was so chastised by Mr. Su that her face turned white and then red, and she muttered indignantly, ”Grandpa Su, Sheng Ning grew up in the countryside, so her physical condition is naturally better than mine.”

”No more talking!” reprimanded Hai Shuangjie. ”Do you want to become the next Shen Yu? How did I teach you last night?”

Mr. Su hated hearing people say that Sheng Ning grew up in the countryside; it only made him feel more guilty. He genuinely treated Hai Lan as a junior, but he didn’t expect her to dare to retort.

”Girl, I don’t like what you just said. So what if Ningning grew up in the countryside? In what way is she not as good as you? Is she not as hardworking or as outstanding as you? I think my granddaughter is excellent in every way. On the contrary, you can’t endure any hardship, and the upbringing at the Hai family really makes me doubt.”

”I’m sorry, Mr. Su,” Zhou Yuan could no longer sit still and stood up to apologize with her head down, ”It’s my fault for not properly educating her. Mr. Su, please don’t get angry with a little girl like her. Please don’t harm your health.”

”Hmph! I scold Su Hai, and you see if he dares to talk back? This is really outrageous.” Old Su looked at Mr. Hai with great disdain. ”I say, Hai Baichuan, you’re really too cowardly. If this happened in my house every day, I wouldn’t die of anger? If it doesn’t work, just kick them out!”

Zhou Yuan was nearly scared out of her wits; this was someone who could kick his own daughter out of the house. Lanlan was just adopted; what if her father-in-law really kicked Lanlan out?

”Mr. Su, please calm down, calm down,” Zhou Yuan hurriedly brought Hai Lan over to apologize. ”Aren’t you going to apologize to Grandpa Su? Quickly.”

Hai Lan was a million times dissatisfied inside. Where did she go wrong? Hadn’t she already saved face? Why should that despicable Sheng Ning be compared to her? What qualifications does she have?

Hai Lan thought the world was truly unfair. That kind of person just knows how to play cute, pretend and win people over. Now everyone in the barracks is on her side, but they say she’s the one who doesn’t understand. Hmph!

Despicable person, she’ll definitely get her revenge. When Zhao Zhiqiang gets out, Sheng Ning, just you wait. I want your end to be even worse than Qin Cuifen’s.

”Apologize now!” Hai Shuangjie sternly ordered. ”You’ve really grown up to be more and more unreasonable, daring to contradict your elders.”

Mr. Su held his teacup, appearing relaxed and indifferent. He didn’t want to accept the apology at all. Hai Lan was just a girl with a crooked mindset. He really couldn’t understand why Old Hai always kept her close, yet her upbringing was so disgraceful.
