Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"The young ladies of the Huo family are the proud daughters of heaven. Our Ximen is wild and playful. He is not worthy of your outstanding granddaughters." Ximen Lang had said it very tactfully. Although he did not explicitly say that he did not want to have anything to do with the Huo family, he at least made it clear that he wanted to refuse.

"Yes, our Ximen is a playboy, not worthy of those proud daughters of heaven in your family." Mo Yihang's face was not good-looking, but the hand holding the wine glass gradually tightened. What kind of world is this? Why do all kinds of people like to give gifts to their superiors?

Deng Heyin rubbed his fingers, trying to see what else Mrs. Huo could say.

Anyone who can understand human language will understand the refusal that Ximen Lang wants to express. But if there is someone who cannot understand human language next to him, then he will not be sure.

"Ayin, we have a grandson who just came of age last year,"

"No, absolutely not." Deng Heyin was almost laughing at what Old Lady Huo said. First she said his wife was from a poor family and was not presentable, and now she wanted to take advantage of his daughter.

"No matter how outstanding your grandson is, it's not that our Shanlai is arrogant, nor that no one wants her. It's just that your Huo family's grandson is not worthy of our Shanlai." Deng Heyin did not give Mrs. Huo any face at all.

When Mrs. Huo heard what he said, her face turned green on the spot.

"Not only is your proposal bad, I think you have overlooked one point." Deng Heyin said calmly.

"You have no say." After saying that, he placed the wine glass heavily on the tray of the waiter next to him.

He was warning Old Mrs. Huo that not only did the Huo family fail to be re-elected, but not everyone would like their grandchildren. Don't try to reason with him. It's useless because he won't listen anyway.

"Deng Heyin, you!" Old Mrs. Huo pointed at Deng Heyin, so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"If you have the free time, you should go home and take care of your filial grandchildren. Don't let your Huo family break up because of what they did." Deng Heyin went on, without giving any face or mercy at all.

Simon Lang and his wife just glanced at Mrs. Huo indifferently. They were the ones who stood on the same line with Deng Hejia now. As for the others, they were not interested and did not want to care.

"Okay, okay!" Old Mrs. Huo was so angry that she couldn't say a word and turned away.

Looking at her leaving back, Deng Heyin just curled his lips. What's this? The best part is yet to come.

Don’t be in a hurry. After all, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Ximen Lang waved to the waiter not far away, took two glasses and handed one to Deng Heyin. The two clinked glasses, talked and laughed, but no one mentioned what had just happened.

Old Madam Huo walked over to Huo Cheng and the others, and sneered at Shan Lai, "Deng He Shan Lai, you really have a good father."

"Thank you for your compliment. My father has always been very good to me and he hates to see me being wronged." Shan Lai looked at Mrs. Huo innocently, as if she really thought that Mrs. Huo was complimenting her father.

"She is worthy of being his daughter. She is really good at pretending." Old Mrs. Huo said this unhappily.

Shan Lai was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. Maybe she was rejected by her father and came to her to seek some sense of existence, so she did not take Mrs. Huo seriously.

When Huo Cheng saw Old Lady Huo coming over here, he thought that grandma had finalized what she had talked about, so he happily went to greet her, "Grandma." His voice was infinitely gentler than when he scolded Shan Lai.

Shan Lai crossed her arms over her chest. Seeing the look on Mrs. Huo's face, she knew that what she had wished for had not come true, so she just reached out and silently lifted the loose hair by her ears.

"Deng He Shanlai, don't be so complacent." Old Mrs. Huo sneered, and her words were spoken with gritted teeth.

"Proud?" Shan Laihao didn't seem to understand what she meant and frowned slightly.

"I have been spoiled by my parents and loved by my friends since I was a child. I have had a smooth life for the past 17 years. I feel quite proud of myself for saying this." Shan Lai looked as if to say "That's just what you said" and didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Her life was indeed quite smooth sailing. Her parents doted on her since she was a child and she had never suffered any grievances. At school, Nadel stood up for her, Kassell helped her complete her unfinished homework, and when she returned to Country K, she had a boyfriend who was attentive and gentle to her.

Proud, why shouldn’t she be proud?

Old Mrs. Huo didn't seem to expect that she would say this so confidently, and she even looked at her with surprise.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Shan Lai asked with a smile.

Old Mrs. Huo looked at her meaningfully and said, "Little girl, you'd better be modest. Although you are indeed born into a noble family, I'm afraid you can't predict the future. Don't let someone kidnap you or do something else to you. That would be a laughing stock." She smiled smugly after saying that.

The smile on Lei's face froze. "For now, I'll respectfully call you Grandma Huo. Based on what you just said, from now on, even if Shan Lai gets a scratch on his finger, we can blame it on the Huo family." As he spoke, he even walked in front of Grandma Huo. The height difference made him feel that the Huo family's grandparents were looking down on them with disdain.

After saying this, Mrs. Huo couldn't control the expression on her face. "You youngsters, don't be too proud. You will suffer in the future."

Still trying to save her last bit of dignity.

"Come on, I don't know whether it's good or not, but I know that the Ximen family will be a new force in the Z world in the future. With the support of the other three families of our F4 and the Denghe family, the Huo family is likely to become obsolete." Daomingsi really couldn't stand listening to Mrs. Huo's rhetoric. He was usually very arrogant, but he had never said such arrogant words when he knew he was at a disadvantage.

"Daoming Si, you." Huo Cheng glared at him.

"Don't look at me. Our Daoming family has nothing to do with your Huo family, and we don't need to have any intersection with your family. If we have any material needs, we can just go directly to the Ximen family. If you want to borrow money, do you think your Huo family's half-baked wealth can compare to one ten-millionth of Deng He's family's?" Daoming Si even rolled his eyes.

The people in the Huo family are those who don't know how to appreciate favors.

Wasn't Huo Cheng's punishment by Nadel, that bad girl, enough? Or had he never been beaten?

She should be thankful that she didn't study at Mingde. If she did, she might have been the first girl to be given a red card.

Deng and Shanlai only opposed and rebelled against him, but they would never do anything despicable for no reason. However, Huo Cheng was really annoying. The main reason was that people who lacked self-awareness were really hard to like, and we couldn't even ignore them.
