She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1662: The Price That Must Be Paid

“Not afraid!” Sheng Ning sneered. She grew up being criticized and gossiped about, what is there to fear?

Zhu Zhenxing’s face alternated between red and white, tinged with green. He never expected the gentleman would choose such a shameless and ignorant person as the heir.

Could the gentleman be blind?

Feng Zhenzhen, who hadn’t spoken, stepped forward and kicked Zhu Zhenxing to the ground.

There was an uproar at the scene, many felt a sense of crisis, those originally not intending to support Zhu Zhenxing had to speak up for him.

“Family Head, Zhu Zuoguan is elderly now, please show mercy.”

“Family Head, you can’t do this.”

“He’s been with the gentleman for so many years…”

These words were clearly directed at Sheng Ning, mostly coming from those relying on their seniority, certain that Sheng Ning wouldn’t dare act against them.

“Zhenzhen, don’t be so agitated.” Sheng Ning walked over, personally pulling Feng Zhenzhen behind her. Then she addressed the crowd: “What I hate most are those who rely on their seniority, trying to bully others.”

“Family Head, we don’t like what you just said.”

“That’s right, we have been working hard our whole lives.”

“We’ve always kept a low profile, and now you’re labeling us for no reason?”

“Young people, it’s better to learn how to behave first.”

“…”

Half the people there maintained aloof postures, causing chaos in the meeting room with their messy remarks. Housekeeper Xing remained quietly standing in place, not saying a word, his expression unchanged from when he entered.

His calmness came from having enough confidence in Sheng Ning, and even more trust in the gentleman’s vision. This was just the beginning; the challenges ahead would only multiply.

Zhu Zhenxing feigned a pitiable demeanor, but his eyes were filled with pride and provocation, even making direct eye contact with Sheng Ning, hoping to provoke her into losing composure.

Sheng Ning gave Feng Zhenzhen a signal, the latter reacted with a hand gesture. This overt action was noticed by a few cunning individuals, who immediately showed signs of fear.

Yet, before they could react, the bodyguards positioned around the meeting room had already started shooting.

The expressions of fear, pride, provocation, and disdain were eternally frozen on their faces. After a round of gunfire, about a dozen people lay on the floor.

These were nearly all the ones with the right to take a seat.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the carpet underfoot was slowly soaked with crimson blood.

The survivors were calmer and more composed than Sheng Ning expected. Some showed excitement in their eyes, as with the preceding ones dead, they finally had a chance to rise.

Sheng Ning sat back in the Taishi Chair, her hands tucked into her sleeves, her entire body trembling slightly. She never imagined she could be so cold-blooded. Her vision blurred, her legs weakened, unable to stand.

She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, yet at this moment she forced herself to act calm, as if nothing had happened.

“Cough cough…” She coughed, feeling a dry discomfort in her throat. Su Huili’s words lingered in her mind, no matter how many times she recalled, unable to convince herself.

Su Huili said this was the price she had to pay to walk this path. The Feng Family was a twisted clan, even the old gentleman would grit his teeth in anger when it was brought up.
