She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 5 Apologize to Xiaoyu

The next day, at 2 PM, at the Nan family's door.

"Madam, we have arrived at the Nan family's residence."

With the help of the butler Xu Qi, Chi Ying slowly got out of the car, leaning on her cane, and her gaze fell on the gate of the Nan family in front of her.

She was about to wave her hand to tell Xu Qi to knock on the door when she heard angry shouts coming from inside.

"Nan Yu, you are truly shameless! Didn't I tell you to get lost? How dare you come back?"

"You said you left something here and came to get it, but I think you've come back to steal something."

"Men, throw her out!"

The next second, the Nan family's gate opened.

The slender, frail girl was pushed out by the arrogant and domineering Sheng Ruomei, who was holding a stick.

"stop!"

Hearing that Nan Yu was being scolded, the old lady felt sorry for her and even wanted to hit her with a stick!

The old lady forgot that she was a woman in her seventies or eighties, and stepped forward to support the swaying Nan Yu.

"Who are you!"

"You old hag, if you're going to die, at least find somewhere else to die!"

When Sheng Ruomei saw that someone was actually protecting that wretched girl Nan Yu, her anger flared up. She cursed and raised a stick to swing at the old lady.

Nan Yu reacted quickly, turning around to shield her future mother-in-law with her body.

His thin back was completely exposed in front of Sheng Ruomei, where he took a hard blow from the stick.

"hiss……"

Nan Yu gasped in pain.

"Xiaoyu!"

The old lady exclaimed in surprise.

Her dear granddaughter-in-law, even after being beaten like this, still remembered to protect this old woman she had never met before.

What a good kid.

The old woman felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her cloudy, weathered eyes were filled with barely suppressed rage!
"You dare to help an outsider? You've gone too far!"

Seeing this, Sheng Ruomei swung the stick in her hand again.

But this time, it didn't land as expected.

"Be bold!"

With a shout of anger, her wrist was grabbed tightly by a middle-aged man.

"Who's courting death again!" Sheng Ruomei cursed as she looked at the object.

As a result... upon seeing it, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Butler Xu... how... is it you?"

The marriage alliance between the Nan family and the Huo family had always been handled by Butler Xu, so she naturally knew the person. However, she was too emotional to see the person properly just now.

Now... Sheng Ruomei is panicking. Was that old woman from earlier also brought by Steward Xu?

Sheng Ruomei was terrified and tried to pull her hand away, but Butler Xu held it firmly, and she couldn't move an inch.

Sheng Ruomei glanced sideways, wanting to get a better look at the old woman. But the old woman walked towards her with her head held high and slapped her hard across the face.

"Xu..."

Sheng Ruomei still didn't understand what was going on.

With a "smack," he was slapped hard across the other side of his face as well!

Sheng Ruomei saw stars for a moment.

But the old woman's next words made even struggling a futile hope for her.

"Sheng Ruomei, do you think our Huo family is extinct? How can you bully my precious granddaughter-in-law like this?"

The old woman stood with her back straight, radiating a chilling aura.

Sheng Ruomei was taken aback.

"Madam Huo...?"

"Shut up, you disgusting thing," the old woman snapped, ignoring her.

She turned around and carefully examined Nan Yu, who had just taken the blow for her.

The old lady asked with concern and heartache, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, are you hurt anywhere? Are you often bullied at home?"

Nan Yu was suddenly met with a kind and gentle face, whose eyes were full of concern for her, and she was taken aback.

"I...it's okay."

This morning she discovered that the silver needles her master had left her before his death were not in her suitcase. She thought they had been left at the Nan family's house, so she came back specifically to look for them.

Before she could even enter the house, Sheng Ruomei blocked her at the door and tried to beat her out with a stick, just like before.

Before she could even react, the grandmother in front of her stepped forward to protect her.

Judging from what the two women were saying, this must be the grandmother of her whirlwind marriage partner.

The old lady looked into Nan Yu's clear and beautiful eyes, and then at her slightly swollen right cheek, a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes.

She gripped Nan Yu's hand tightly. "Xiao Yu, don't be afraid. With Grandma here, no one will dare to bully you."

Chi Ying turned her head and glared fiercely at Sheng Ruomei, angrily saying, "Sheng Ruomei, didn't you say that Xiaoyu was pampered since childhood? Is your so-called pampering just beating her?"

As soon as Sheng Ruomei was released, her heart jumped into her throat upon hearing this, and cold sweat began to break out on her forehead. She carefully smiled and said, "Madam, you've misunderstood. I was just joking with Xiaoyu."

She gave a forced laugh, then looked at Nan Yu with the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother, and said gently, "Xiao Yu, didn't you want to get something? Go get it quickly."

Looking at her fake appearance, Nan Yu felt nauseous and disgusted, and for the first time, she didn't want to cooperate with her acting anymore.

She bit her lower lip and opened her mouth with difficulty, saying, "Madam Nan, don't worry, I will only take what belongs to me. I won't touch anything else, and I won't interfere with your family's life anymore."

She then looked at Chi Ying, who was protecting her, and forced a smile. "Grandma, I'm going upstairs to get something."

The old lady quickly understood everything and suddenly grabbed her hand, "Xiaoyu, wait a moment."

Then, with a gloomy expression, he turned to look at Sheng Ruomei.

"Sheng Ruomei, do you think I'm a three-year-old child, playing with me? Your Nan family doesn't want her, you sell Xiaoyu like an object, and you humiliate her at every turn. You think you can just brush it off with a joke?"

“Let me tell you, she is now my granddaughter-in-law, and I will never let her suffer any grievances.”

"Sheng Ruomei, I want you to apologize to Xiaoyu right now!"
