Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"Deng and Shanlai, you are the one picking between them, a little bitch like you."

"Pa." Shan Lai slapped him hard with such force that she almost threw herself out. She staggered forward, and fortunately Lei grabbed her hand in time so she didn't fall to the ground.

Huo Cheng covered her face and looked at Shan Lai in disbelief. She looked like she had not yet recovered from the shock of being slapped in the face.

"This is what happens when you insult me ​​casually." Shan Lai looked at Huo Cheng coldly. She had used too much force just now, and her palms were numb and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

Everyone around widened their eyes. This was the second time they saw Shan Lai hitting someone. The last time was when they saw her hitting Asi.

Mrs. Huo stared at Shan Lai, her eyes full of anger, "Deng and Shan Lai, what do you want?"

Listening to what Mrs. Huo said, she just felt ironic. What did she want? What else could she do?

"What do I want?" Shan Lai walked slowly in front of old lady Huo and sneered with disdain, "Grandma Huo, you are wrong. It's not about what I want, but what you want." As he said that, he raised his hand.

Mrs. Huo thought she was going to hit her, so she took a step back and shouted, "Deng Heshanlai, don't mess around. I am your elder."

Shan Lai raised her hand and slowly lowered it to stroke her hair. "Grandma Huo, what you said is not right. You are standing here, how could I do anything wrong?" She looked at her like a good girl, with innocence in her eyes.

Mrs. Huo was confused by her actions. Wasn't she so aggressive just now? How did she become so obedient all of a sudden?

"Grandma Huo, although I am an insignificant little character, my father is not." Shan Lai looked up and smiled at Grandma Huo.

The people next to them covered their mouths and laughed, not daring to laugh out loud.

You should have said it earlier. How could she suddenly become so well-behaved? It turns out that a big move is waiting for her.

Lei smiled silently and watched her practice Tai Chi with Old Mrs. Huo.

As expected, when Deng Heyin was mentioned, Mrs. Huo's expression changed again and again, her lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something, she looked at Shanlai and opened her mouth slightly, but still didn't say anything.

Huo Cheng looked at Shan Lai, then at her grandmother beside her. She didn't understand why her grandmother watched her suffer injustice without helping her get redress.

"Grandma." Huo Cheng cried out of grievance.

Even Mei Zuo, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand her pretentious look. She touched her hair in annoyance and turned her head away.

Xiaoyou stared at it all with her big, kazilan eyes, confused. She had known for a long time that Huo Cheng was not a good person, but she had never expected that he could be so bad.

Ximen clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughed lightly, and pulled Xiaoyou's sleeve, "Don't meddle in other people's business, Shanlai can handle it."

Daomingsi, who was standing next to him, heard Ximen say that and punched him hard on the back. Fortunately, Ximen was in good health and had good self-control so he didn't cry out and silently endured the beating from his good brother Daomingsi.

Mei Zuo heard a muffled sound and turned to look at Daomingsi's hand on Ximen's shoulder. He thought he had misheard and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Grandma Huo, do you have anything else to say? If not, we'll leave." Shan Lai looked at Grandma Huo with a smile. His attitude was neither good nor bad.

Huo Cheng was not used to Shan Lai's nonchalant attitude, as if nothing had happened recently, so he screamed again, "Deng He Shan Lai, what gives you the right?"

"Snapped."

The slap was given by Old Madam Huo, "You bastard, stop embarrassing yourself here, go away." After giving Shan Lai a meaningful look, Old Madam Huo left first, leaving Huo Cheng behind.

Now that the people who supported her had left, Huo Cheng couldn't stay here any longer, so he followed them dejectedly.

After she left, Ximen Meizuo gave Shan Lai a thumbs up.

"Shanlai, I apologize for thinking you were a good girl before. From today on, you are my idol." Ximen said seriously and even nodded in agreement.

That was Old Madam Huo. Few people could make her speechless. Shan Lai was honored to be the first one he had ever seen.

Mei Zuo also found it a little unbelievable. He had not expected that Shan Lai would dare to confront Old Lady Huo head-on. He used to think that Shan Lai was just a spoiled daughter of a wealthy family, and he never expected that she had such a tough side.

It was all thanks to her that she mentioned her father just now, otherwise Mrs. Huo might have been entangled with her and them for a longer time. The title of head of the Deng He family is really useful.

Daomingsi put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at Shanlai beside him, pursed his lips and said nothing more. This time he stood where he was and did not leave.

"Okay, let's go too." Shanlai took Lei's hand.

Daomingsi was watching her movements from the side, not knowing what he was feeling, but he couldn't put it into words.

It's a very contradictory feeling. On the one hand, I'm happy that Lei has someone he likes and no longer follows Jing foolishly. On the other hand, I always feel that the relationship between Lei and Shanlai is weird, but I just can't put it into words.

Maybe it was because Deng and Shanlai were the first people who dared to go against him and beat him.

Ximen reached out and tapped Xiaoyou on the forehead, "Let's go." After that, he ran out quickly, as if he was afraid that Xiaoyou would catch up and hit him.

Xiaoyou rubbed her head in complaint. Senior Ximen was really something. Why did he flick her head? What if she became stupider?

Shan Lai covered her mouth and laughed, but her action was too obvious and attracted the attention of several other people. She immediately became serious, "Xiaoyou, Ximen is going too far. You can fight back."

Mei Zuo was also very serious, "Yes, he always deserves a beating."

Daomingsi didn't say anything. He just listened to them talking for a long time. He rolled his eyes in disdain and said, "Boring." Then he left alone.

Shan Lai looked at Mei Zuo, who waved his hand to indicate that he didn't know either. "Let him be. As long as he doesn't cause any more trouble, it's fine."

"Let's go, let's go." Meizuo pushed Xiaoyou's shoulder and pushed her out together. "Hey, hey, hey, senior Meizuo, slow down, don't push me, I'm about to fall!!" Xiaoyou shouted quickly.

"Okay." Misaku stopped pushing and started holding Xiaoyou's collar instead, "Hurry up, hurry up."

Xiaoyou was not as tall as him, so she could only be carried along. Her steps were too fast for her to keep up, and she even had to stand on tiptoe.

Lei shook his head with amusement and watched them leave without saying anything.

Shan Lai hesitated, then looked at the person next to him cautiously, "Lei, about today's matter, I..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lei didn't seem to care. "I think you did a good job. If you don't fight back against people like them, they will only bully you more."
