Shancai Rebirth: My Choice
Chapter 139: All the mechanisms are exhausted
Shan Lai took a step forward, walked to the front of the class and looked into the eyes of Mrs. Huo, "Grandma Huo, Nadel has indeed returned to China with brother Kassell." Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she did not have any special filter towards Mrs. Huo because of her attitude just now.
"Grandma." Huo Cheng hurried over.
Shan Lai looked expressionlessly at Miss Huo, who had no sense of shame. What was she rushing here for at this time?
Huo Cheng first looked at Shan Lai and sneered: "Why don't you persuade Nadel? Aren't you good friends?"
Almost everyone present was amused by her shameless words. Daomingsi was the first to speak up, "Huo Cheng, Miss Huo, your feet are on someone else's body. It's their own business whether they want to leave or stay."
"Why do you want to persuade her? How do you know Shanlai can be persuaded? If you can make the matter of forcing someone to stay sound so nonchalant, why don't you go and persuade them yourself?" Daomingsi sneered. Huo Cheng was a level lower than Nadel, Deng and Shanlai.
Deng and Shanlai liked to go against him, but they were not as shameless as Huo Cheng.
Not to mention Shanlai, even the others were very surprised and couldn't understand why Daomingsi suddenly spoke up for Shanlai.
Listening to Daomingsi's soul-searching questioning, Huo Cheng was speechless for a moment. He just glared at Shan Lai fiercely. If glares could kill, she would have died hundreds of times.
But she didn't care. She didn't care what other people did. As long as she insisted that it was Deng and Shanlai who instigated Nadel and his sister to return to Country M, her grandmother would never let her go.
Whenever it comes to matters related to the Huo family's interests, grandma always puts it first.
Huo Cheng looked at the people present with a cold face, "Deng Heshanlai, you and Nadel are good friends. Who knows if you didn't instigate her to return to Country M?"
"Haha, Huo Cheng, you really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
"Instigate? Why would I instigate? You know the affairs of your Huo family best. There's no need to bring those things out in the open for everyone to laugh at." Shan Lai was not someone who was easy to mess with. It's not that she didn't know how to confront people, but sometimes it was unnecessary.
If she didn't say something for herself at this point, she would be an idiot.
Old Mrs. Huo stared at Shan Lai.
She met Mrs. Huo's gaze without fear and said, "Grandma Huo, do you think what I said is right?" Then she changed her expressionless face into a smile.
Mrs. Huo was unsure of Shan Lai's thoughts, so she could only keep silent. "Huo Cheng, shut up."
Ximen didn't say anything and just kept observing the expressions of Old Mrs. Huo and Huo Cheng. They are truly members of the Huo family. Even the smiles they show when they are scheming against others are the same.
If Mrs. Huo felt that what Huo Cheng just said was wrong, she should have spoken up to stop him.
She spoke only when Huo Cheng had already reached the point where it was difficult to end his conversation. It was obvious that she did it on purpose. She just wanted Huo Cheng to isolate Shan Lai.
"Grandma Huo, if you want to find Nadel, you can go to Country M in person." Such a voice fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.
Mei Zuo was watching from the side. Seeing that Old Lady Huo looked determined to get what she wanted, he probably had guessed the purpose of her visit.
It's not surprising that Nadel returned to Country M. Old Mrs. Huo should have guessed it long ago and knew that the two siblings would not get involved in this mess.
When she got the news that the brother and sister were returning to Country M, she immediately followed them. At this time, it didn't matter whether Nadel returned to Country M or not. The purpose of her trip was Shanlai.
One Nadel left, and one Shanlai remained.
Shanlai's father Deng Heyin is about to return to China. Deng He's family also has some high-level people. Their family has first-class resources and connections.
Therefore, Mrs. Huo set her sights on Shan Lai. She was really scheming.
"Shanlai, you and Nadel were good friends. I loved my granddaughter very much. She passed away suddenly without even saying hello to me before. I was a little excited at the moment. I am really sorry." As Mrs. Huo spoke, her eyes became red and tears welled up in her eyes.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Ximen couldn't help but sigh that this is truly a talented actor.
Xiaoyou had never seen such a scene before. She pinched her fingers nervously. She didn't quite understand what they were saying, but she knew that Huo Cheng was not a good person.
Ximen looked at Xiaoyou's conflicted expression and put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't be afraid, we are here." He whispered softly beside her to comfort her and ease her nervousness.
Xiao Youdian nodded. Yes, F4 are all here. They will definitely stand on Shanlai's side. Even if anything happens, they will definitely help Shanlai.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyou felt a little relieved.
Daomingsi had long seen that Mrs. Huo had come with ill intentions, so he had a stern face the whole time and hardly looked directly at the two people from the Huo family, old and young.
His mother had long ago told him not to get involved in their family's election this time, and since Deng Heyin was about to return to China, he stayed as far away from it as possible.
When the two of them sang in unison to morally blackmail Shanlai, he really couldn't stand it, so he spoke up to defend her.
Looking at those crocodile tears shed by old lady Huo, Shanlai couldn't hide the mockery on his face. No wonder Nadel didn't like the name Huo Huan. If it were her, she wouldn't like it either.
Who would like a name that is mixed with interests? I feel a chill when I hear others calling me by that name.
"Grandma Huo, Nadel said that if you miss her, you can go to Country M to see her, and she will pick you up at the airport in person." Shan Lai said with a smile, doing everything she could to save her face.
Nadel never said such words, she made them up. If we want to pretend, let's pretend together. What's there to be afraid of?
Besides, it is impossible for someone as self-righteous as Mrs. Huo to go to Country M in person to find Nadel.
She didn't believe that even though she had already humbled herself to this extent, Mrs. Huo would still do something to her. She couldn't just scold her for no reason.
Just as Mrs. Huo was about to say something, Huo Cheng took the lead and said, "Deng Heshanlai, what you said is really funny. How could my grandma go to Country M to see Nadel? What right does she have?" He said this with a sarcastic smile.
Shan Lai clenched his fists. Why did Huo Cheng always like to interrupt?
"Huo Cheng, don't you know etiquette? Didn't you see I was talking to Grandma Huo? Why did you interrupt?"
