When these words were out, the atmosphere in the entire room turned weird.
Song Bocheng frowned a little. Suddenly being reminded of his wife’s previous romances, he would definitely not be happy.
And Shen Weiran had the feeling of skinning Xia Ning alive right now. She was definitely not here to visit her. She was obviously here to give her a hard time.
Even Gao Lihua frowned slightly too. This Xia Ning sounded a bit mean.
As if she just realized the atmosphere was weird, Xia Ning continued at once. “Auntie, Uncle, I’m sorry. I think I said something wrong.” As she spoke, she turned to Song Bocheng with guilt. “My mum told me this before. I shouldn’t have said it out loud.”
Song Bocheng heard that and was a bit surprised. He darted a look at Xia Ning and the sullenness in his eyes went away at once. He said with a smile, “Good kid, I don’t blame you. Your Auntie will not either.” As he spoke, he sighed. “Your mum left you early. How did you make it through all these years?”
“I was lucky. When Mum passed away, I was adopted by an orphanage. Later, a rich person adopted me and then I went to live abroad,” Xia Ning answered.
Hearing this, Song Bocheng sighed and said, “Back then, we went to look for you but we could not find you. You lived a hard life all these years. Please don’t blame us.”
“How could I blame you? My mum said that you should always be grateful for life. The difficulty at the moment does not mean it will be this way forever. Obviously, she was right. The person who adopted me is pretty rich so I don’t have to worry about food or clothes,” Xia Ning said with a smile.
Seeing the bright smile on Xia Ning’s face, Song Bocheng was a bit lost in surprise. He then turned to Shen Weiran and said, “Weiran, Xia Ning really does look like you.”
“Really?” Shen Weiran looked at Song Bocheng and said with a smile. Her eyes glanced over Xia Ning and they were cold.
“Auntie, why are you not talking?” Xia Ning suddenly turned to Gao Lihua who was sitting there in silence. “Are you blaming me for not greeting you?”
The door happened to be pushed open and Shen Tianlang walked in. He just saw Xia Ning talking to Gao Lihua.
Gao Lihua looked at Xia Ning. “It just takes time to adjust.”
“Yeah, suddenly having a niece, it’s normal to feel weird, Auntie,” Xia Ning said with a smile.
Shen Tianlang walked over and said to Xia Ning, “My mother hasn’t seen you for years. She probably didn’t recognize you.”
“Yeah, I definitely changed a lot from my childhood.” Xia Ning curled her lips. “Who would have thought the Ugly Duckling could have turned into a star?”
Shen Tianlang looked at Xia Ning and couldn’t really continue. Was she blaming the Shen family for not taking care of her? He said instinctively, “Xiao Ke, come over to the old house and see Grandpa with me today.”
Shen Weiran heard this and turned to Shen Tianlang. She said in a low voice, “Tianlang, your Grandpa is not feeling well...”
“So what? Xiao Ke is Younger Auntie’s Daughter. Grandpa will be happy to see her,” Shen Tianlang replied with a smile. “Grandpa has been talking about Xiao Ke recently.”
“I think Auntie is just worried that Grandpa will get too happy and it’s not good for his health.” Xia Ning curled her lips and turned to Shen Weiran with a smile. “Good thing I know you well, Auntie. Otherwise, I would think that you are worried that I would come home and acknowledge my roots and ancestors. But why would you be worried? It can’t be that you are afraid that I’m going to take back my portion of the Shen family fortune.”
