s profound, his expression complex.Seeing that he remained silent, Su He simply decided to be straightforward: "Aren't you just after my status You can't have both fish and bear's paw. Young Master Hu...Mian listened expressionlessly as Shen Yuqing uttered words of sarcasm. Su He retorted with equal measure of mockery.

"All of us are foster daughters living in other people's homes. Who isn't lucky to have survived until now And who is more noble than whom Oh, at least I now know who my parents are."

The Shen family has always been in a state of prosperity and decline, gradually forming the habit of favoring daughters over sons.

By this generation, she was the only girl left. As the head of the family, her grandfather was overjoyed when she was born and would make time every day, no matter how busy he was, to come hold her.

Because of her, even Shen Zhaolin, who was already quite pleasing to him, became even more agreeable in his eyes. He directly designated Shen Zhaolin as the heir of the Shen family, ready to pass on the position of head of the Shen family to him.

This also caused dissatisfaction among Shen Zhaolin's other brothers, especially the second son of the Shen family, Shen Chaoyang.

In his view, he was superior to Shen Zhaolin in terms of age, experience, and background. The only thing he lost to Shen Zhaolin was not having a daughter.

After Su He was abducted, he selected the delicate and intelligent Shen Yuqing from hundreds of orphanages to be his adopted daughter. He treated her with love and also hoped to win over the favor of Shen family's patriarch through her.

Due to his doting love for his granddaughter, the head of the Shen family was indeed kind to Shen Yuqing.

Shen Yuqing had always been the darling of the Shen family, but upon learning that the true heiress had returned, she was filled with fear and apprehension. However, amidst these emotions, a competitive spirit also began to stir within her.

She specifically sent someone to investigate Su He's past, learning that she had grown up in fear from a young age and hadn't read much. If it weren't for the Huo family's meddling, Su He would have probably married an old bachelor and become a child-bearing machine long ago.

Surely, even for the sake of face, the Shen family wouldn't easily let Su He return to the Shen family.

Even if he came back, he would never allow Shen Zhailin to hold a grand reunion banquet, letting everyone know about Su He's existence.

Shen Zhaoyang had also secretly instructed his subordinates to deal with Su He, but Su He was lucky and managed to avoid being attacked three or five times.

Of course, Huo Chenxi meddling in other people's business is also a part of it.

Ho Chenxi repeatedly sabotaged them, and Shen Chaoyang partnered with Huo Chinyi, the second son of the Huo family, to encourage him to seize everything Ho Chenxi possessed. In the end, they successfully drove Ho Chenxi to a dead end.

Unfortunately, I was hoping to quietly eliminate Huo Shenxi, and just as success seemed within reach, he was taken away from the ward.

Shen Chaoyang did all of this without hiding anything from Shen Yuqing.

In Shen Yuqing's view, everything Shen Chaoyang did was to reclaim what rightfully belonged to him, and it was perfectly justifiable.

Unexpectedly, he failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. Shen Zhaolin, due to Shen Chaoyang's repeated schemes, decided to return to the Shen family and confront him head-on.

When Shen Zhaolin returned home, Shen Chao yang was so angry that he fell ill in bed.

Wei replaced Shen Zhaoyang and Shen Yuqing came to City A on her own initiative, wanting to deal with Su He, the culprit, properly.

To her surprise, Su He was even more defiant than the reports suggested, daring to confront her about her unknown origins.

Shen Yuqing raised her chin, lowering her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting into a mocking arc: "You really think of yourself as the Shen family's precious daughter You, who haven't even read much, think the Shen family will accept you Even Uncle Shen San is foolish to entrust the Yi He Group to someone like you. You dare to accept it, truly bold ignorance."

Su He let out a light chuckle: "Even an illiterate can scare you into running from the capital to cause me trouble. It's clear you see me as Shen Family's heiress, afraid I'll go back and steal your position."

Shen Yuqing was struck to the heart by Su He's words, and immediately became angry and ashamed. She forcibly suppressed her impulse to teach Su He a lesson.

Even if she has the blood of the Shen family running through her veins, so what

Anyway, she won't be happy for long!

Shen Yuqing took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and tried to smile kindly: "After all, we are sisters-in-law. It's our first meeting, I have a gift for you!"

She held out a palm-sized, black box in her hand and handed it to Su He, a hint of mystery in her eyes.

Su He sat on the sofa and didn't reach out to take it.

Looking at Shen Yuqing's plastered smile, Su He's mind automatically conjured up one word.

The weasel pays New Year's greetings.

She didn't believe that Shen Yuqing had come over just to ridicule her with a few words and then put on a show of giving her a meeting gift.

Shen Yuqing saw Su He unwilling to reach out, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.

Her fingers intentionally loosened, and the box in her palm immediately fell to the ground, emitting a faint, crisp shattering sound.

The sound of something breaking inside the box.

"Oh dear," Shen Yuqing pretended to cover her mouth with her hand, feigning surprise as she exclaimed, "I'm so clumsy, I hurt my little sister's foster mother."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su He's face changed drastically. She immediately rushed to Shen Yuqing's face and grabbed her wrist, saying fiercely, "What did you say"

She stared in disbelief at the black box on the ground, dreading to think what it might contain.

Shen Yuqing deliberately provoked: "You know your adoptive mother loves you dearly and pampers you."

"I'm not just thinking about you, I haven't been back to pay respects in a long time, so I brought her ashes here."

"Who knew that my sister didn't want it, and I accidentally didn't hold on tight enough, so I let her drop it to the ground."

Shen Yuqing deliberately spoke very slowly, one word at a time, enjoying watching Su He's face change from white to red, then to purple-blue. She was extremely pleased.

Su He's colleagues trembled violently. They were so angry that their teeth ached and their foreheads twitched with veins.

How dare she, Shen Yuqing!

When she first learned that her adoptive father had accepted a dowry to marry her off to an old widower, her already sickly adoptive mother tried to help her escape. Sadly, the adoptive father beat her to death.

She still managed to lay her foster mother to rest with the help of Grandma Huo.

Shen Yuqing was so ruthless that she didn't even let the dead go.

Su He trembled as he crouched down, picking up the black package that had fallen to the ground. His fingers shook as he unboxed it.

Inside is a shattered porcelain white jar.

In the broken jar, there are grayish-white powdery granules.

It's ashes!

Shen Yuqing not only dug up her foster mother's grave but also burned the bones to ashes!

Su He's eyes were almost blazing with anger, she glared at Shen Yuqing with hatred, and just happened to meet Shen Yuqing's triumphant gaze.

"I personally sent someone to your hometown, found the overgrown grave, dug it up and retrieved the long-decayed bones. I burned them into ashes and specially brought them to you."

"Aren't you curious how the ashes are just this much Because the rest were thrown into the sewer to feed the rotten fish and shrimp!"

Seeing Su He's enraged and out-of-control expression, Shen Yuqing became even more arrogant and smug.

She was previously provoked by Su He about domestic violence and not having an education, but she ended up being scolded back by Su He.

Now that she's unleashed her trump card, she wants to see what Su He can say to retort!

Su He did not expect Shen Yuqing to be so venomous, not even letting go of someone who had been dead for four years.

Holding the urn in one hand, she raised the other with all her might and slapped Shen Yuqing's face viciously.

A crisp slap echoed through the silent reception room, startlingly loud.

Su He slapped very hard, Shen Yuqing was caught off guard and half of his face almost instantly swelled up.

Unbelievably covering her face, Shen Yuqing pointed at Su He: “You dare hit me”

Su He even grabbed her finger and bent it back, a crisp sound of bone breaking suddenly rang out, accompanied by Shen Yuqing's heart-wrenching scream.

"Even if I have to go looking for a fight at your doorstep, I can't disappoint your good intentions, can I" Su He gritted his teeth, his gaze on Shen Yuqing as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Shen Yuqing was startled by Su He's gaze and jumped: "You... what else do you want to do"

Su He slowly curled her lips: “It's not polite to come without a return gift. Since you gave me a meeting gift, I naturally can't let you leave empty-handed.”

Meeting Su He's strange gaze, Shen Yuqing suddenly felt a strong surge of fear and unease.

She suddenly felt a little regret, having personally gone to Su He's place to cause trouble!le to change Grandma Huo's mind. All her resentment was directed at Su He.During the three years that Su He was married to Huo Chen Xi, He Suwen often made trouble for her and constantly found ways t...
