Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Chapter 151 Going against the grain

Sometimes he calls her a sinner, and sometimes he says that she knows what she did. There is a bit of contradiction in what he says.

So, what did she do?

How come she doesn't know it herself?

"Then what did I do? Grandma Huo needs to tell me clearly, otherwise how would I know what I did." Shan Lai seemed to take it lightly and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed leisurely.

In the eyes of Mrs. Huo, this action of hers was extremely disrespectful to her, and she became even more disgusted with Shan Lai.

"Deng Heshanlai, have you forgotten so quickly that you had people bully me?" Huo Cheng shouted this in a trembling voice, and tears as big as beans rolled down and dripped onto the blanket in front of her chest.

Huo Cheng emotionally accused Shan Lai of what he had done to her. She started coughing violently. Old Mrs. Huo patted Huo Cheng on the back and comforted her good granddaughter softly, "Don't be afraid, Ah Cheng. Grandma will take care of your affairs for you."

The granddaughter felt very aggrieved, and the old lady next to her seemed extremely distressed about what happened to her granddaughter. It really looked like a harmonious picture.

"Huo Cheng, tell me, let me hear what I did to you and see if you missed anything." Shan Lai enjoyed watching the fun and leaned comfortably on the sofa, raising his chin at Huo Cheng with disdain.

It seemed as if it was saying: Keep going, let me hear what you can come up with. If you can't continue, I can help you add a few sentences.

This question left Huo Cheng speechless. When she came to her senses, she just buried herself in Old Lady Huo's arms and cried until she was out of breath.

Shan Lai was not panicked at all, and looked like a bystander watching a farce.

"It's rebellious! It's outrageous!" The more Mrs. Huo looked at Shan Lai, the angrier she became. She stood up from the sofa and walked straight over to her and slapped her in the face.

Shan Lai clenched his fists and stood up from the sofa, "Mrs. Huo, I call you Grandma Huo because you are Nadel's grandmother."

"Are you so eager to accuse me of an unknown crime based only on Huo Cheng's one-sided statement?" Her words were cold and ruthless. She was no longer the smiling girl who was practicing Tai Chi with Old Lady Huo just now. The expression on her face made people feel uneasy.

Old Mrs. Huo was frightened by her momentum and took two steps back.

"You, you evil creature!" Old Mrs. Huo stretched out her hand and accused her, "You are also a girl, how could you do such a thing to my Ah Cheng!" At this moment, Old Mrs. Huo acted like she loved Huo Cheng very much.

If Shan Lai hadn't known that Nadel pushed Huo Cheng off the second-floor stands and that Mrs. Huo not only didn't pursue the matter but also protected Nadel, he would have almost believed her lies.

The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and the time was unbearable. Shan Lai narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and looked at Mrs. Huo with a mocking look, "Okay, since you insist that I had someone do something bad to Huo Cheng, then show me the evidence."

"If you don't have any evidence, don't jump around like a clown on a show."

"Also, if you are really angry, you can kill me today if you have the guts." Every word Shan Lai said was more poisonous than the last.

Although Mrs. Huo had just slapped her, she was still very sure that Mrs. Huo would not dare to do anything to her.

Old Mrs. Huo was shocked by what she said, her eyes full of disbelief.

……

After turning the corner, Xiaoyou squatted down tremblingly. After squatting for a few seconds, she remembered that Shanlai asked her to go to Daomingsi's house to find Senior Lei and the others.

"Go to Senior Daoming's house to find Senior Lei, Senior Lei,..." Xiaoyou repeated this sentence incoherently.

Just as she was about to stand up and take a taxi, Ximen's image suddenly flashed through her mind, "Yes! Senior Ximen must be with the other seniors!" Xiaoyou quickly found Ximen's phone number and dialed it.

Ximen was telling Meizuo that he had just seen Shanlai kick Xiaoyou's boyfriend out of the mall. Meizuo looked like a curious baby, wondering why he didn't follow Ximen?

Daomingsi was standing next to Ximen Henmei, with his head propped up by his hands, listening to her chatter. He was stunned for a moment when he recalled how Shanlai kicked him when they first met.

Lei supported his head with his hands and looked at the dialogue box between him and the kitten very seriously.

It's been so long, why hasn't she messaged him yet?

Seeing that Lei looked absent-minded, Ximen walked over with a wicked smile and wanted to pat him, but before he could do so, the phone rang.

Simon took out his cell phone from his pocket irritably. Who would call him at such a critical moment?

When Ximen saw the familiar name on the caller ID, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Hey, little girl."

"Senior Ximen, something happened to Shanlai."

Before Ximen called out the name, Xiaoyou's crying voice came from the receiver.

Simon quickly turned on the speakerphone and turned up the volume to the maximum, then put the phone in the middle. "Don't be anxious. Talk slowly."

Xiaoyou quickly calmed her mind and quickly recounted what had just happened in the western restaurant. She also specifically mentioned the reason why Huo Cheng was beaten by Shanlai and his injuries, as well as the incident when Huo Cheng suddenly pounced on her at the bathroom door.

Mei Zuo almost jumped up from the sofa. What? It seemed like something was wrong with Huo Cheng's brain. She must be crazy to provoke Shan Lai again and again.

Lei used his mobile phone to record the conversation when Xiaoyou started talking. When he heard a group of bodyguards in black walking in while the two of them were still in the car, he sensed something was wrong.

"Xiaoyou, you said that a group of people went into the car when you two were still in it, right?" Lei asked calmly, but his hand holding the phone was tightening.

Xiaoyou repeated what she had just said.

Daoming Si frowned and said, "Send your location to Ximen. Stand still and don't move. We will be there soon."

Daomingsi was particularly calm at this time. When he said this to Xiaoyou, the other three people looked at him.

Xiaoyou gave some more details of what happened before hanging up the phone.

"If only the four of us go to the Huo family, Mrs. Huo will definitely not let us go because we are not intimidating enough." Mei Zuo spread his hands, with an intriguing expression on his face.

Thinking of the issue of deterrence, Ximen quickly called his father. He needed Deng Hejia's help in this election, and they were on the same side.

To put it bluntly, we are like grasshoppers on a string. No matter which section of the string breaks or something goes wrong, everyone will be implicated.

After briefly explaining the cause and effect of the incident, I don't know what Simon's father said on the other end of the phone, but Simon's expression was not that nervous.

Seeing that Simon's expression was not so serious anymore, the others breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that there was still hope for the situation to turn around.
