Chapter 456: Chapter 427 Get Lost! Hurry Up and Scram!_1

Wang Shuping and Jiang Lifang were startled, both turning to look at Bai Qiongyu.

"Mother, do you know them?" Wang Shuping asked curiously, "I’ve never heard of such relatives in our family."

"Of course, you wouldn’t know." Bai Qiongyu said, "Before the massacre occurred, this Wu Cuifen came from the countryside to Nan City. My mother-in-law really liked this distant niece from her natal family and decided to keep her here. Later, I got the news that Nan City was unsafe and suggested everyone leave to hide. Your grandfather and your grandmother were unwilling, so I took Jingyu and Xianglan to Suzhou. Your grandfather was worried about me and followed me to Su City, where that incident occurred. By the time your grandfather returned to Nan City, your grandmother had already died, and that Wu Cuifen had taken our family’s money and run off. I don’t know whether she fled while your grandmother was still alive or after she had passed away."

"My goodness, that’s not a relative, that’s an enemy." Jiang Lifang exclaimed in surprise, having gleaned an approximation from Wang Shuping’s introduction and Bai Qiongyu’s words, "Thank goodness I didn’t agree to let her and her family move in."

Wang Shuping nodded and said, "Right, we can’t let them move into our house."

He Tiantian had boiled the water and cleaned the cups, pouring tea for everyone.

The tea, brought from Qijia Village, was wild mountain tea.

While the adults were drinking tea, He Tiantian went to prepare dinner using supplies from Jiang Lifang’s home.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman leading a child peeked around and, seeing people inside, came in.

"Is my grandniece-in-law at home?" the old woman called out loudly, surveying the surrounding houses, which were much better than the ones they rented.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuping turned to look at Jiang Lifang.

Jiang Lifang nodded with a bitter smile, "That’s the woman."

"If she stole from my family and disregarded my grandmother’s wellbeing, then she is an enemy of our family." Wang Shuping said, "I’ll go throw her out."

He Tiantian came out from the kitchen and saw an old lady with a dark face, someone she didn’t recognize at all!

"Who are you?" He Tiantian asked, "Are you sure you haven’t got the wrong door?"

Wu Cuifen, seeing He Tiantian’s appearance, retreated in fear. This young girl looked too much like her grandmother.

Back then, she had suffered quite a bit. If it hadn’t been for her aunt, she wouldn’t have been able to stay.

Alas, if not for that incident, she might have married her cousin and avoided meeting that worthless man and living these difficult days.

"Oh my, I am your cousin grandma." The old woman said with a laugh, revealing her yellow teeth.

He Tiantian stepped back two steps, "I’ve never heard of such a relative in the family, what is your name? Who are you here to see?"

"Oh dear, such impertinence from a child." Wu Cuifen feigned anger, deeply loathing He Tiantian’s face and wishing she could scratch it to ruins.

At this point, Wang Shuping came out of the house, "My father-in-law has been dead for ten years and no relatives have visited to pay their respects. You shouldn’t come here to falsely claim kinship now; we have no such relatives in our family."

"Oh, you must be Jingyu’s wife?" Wu Cuifen, as if she heard nothing, casually made herself at home and was very enthusiastic, "I’ve held Jingyu when he was just a child!"

Then, Xianglan came out of the kitchen and scolded, "Nonsense, spouting such drivel! Back then, you nearly killed Master Jingyu. If I hadn’t discovered it early, he could have suffocated due to breathing difficulty while laying down."

"You... you..." Wu Cuifen was startled, "Are you Xianglan?"

"It was me!" Xianglan stepped forward and slapped Wu Cuifen twice, continuing to scold her, "You shameless thing, with that ugly face of yours, yet you try to seduce my master. It’s only because our miss is kind-hearted, otherwise I would have killed you long ago."

"How did you get here? Weren’t you all in Country M?" Wu Cuifen said in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

"How did you know I returned to Country M? Weren’t you already on the run?" Bai Qiongyu came out of the room and said expressionlessly.

Her final separation from He Jinming was because He Jinming’s mother had passed away, and He Jinming felt very guilty.

Back then, Wu Cuifen had already run away with the things from the house, and she herself had left half a year later.

"I... I guessed it," Wu Cuifen stuttered, "It’s been so many years, and you’re still so beautiful."

Indeed, it was the truth, and Wu Cuifen felt jealous inside.

"You can leave, the He Family doesn’t have relatives like you," Bai Qiongyu said, not wanting to lay eyes on this despicable woman.

Seeing this face only brought back memories of the things that woman had done.

"Don’t be like that, sister-in-law." Wu Cuifen sized up Bai Qiongyu, "Oh my, you’ve struck it rich, but you can’t disown your relatives like that!"

Just then, He Jingyu arrived with Qi Shuliang and Qi Zhenghan.

"What relative?" He Jingyu was curious, their family truly didn’t have any relatives! When his father died, only his father’s colleagues came to pay their respects, with no relatives in sight.

"Wu Cuifen!" Bai Qiongyu ground her teeth, knowing that this woman was full of malice and not a good person.

"Wu Cuifen?" He Jingyu was taken aback, then remembered who Wu Cuifen was, turned around, and bellowed, "Get out! Get out right now!"

Everyone was shocked, not expecting He Jingyu to react so strongly.

But of course, he would; this woman had run away with their family’s belongings without considering their grandmother’s death. After things had settled, she never came back, obviously having taken everything deliberately, and they no longer recognized her as a relative.

He Jingyu said to the bodyguard standing in the yard, "Throw this old hag out."

The Bai Family’s bodyguards glared at Wu Cuifen, their eyes fierce and intimidating.

Wu Cuifen stepped back in fear, but the child she brought with her wasn’t having any of it and tried to push the bodyguard.

"Hmph!" The bodyguard snorted and glared angrily, frightening the child into tears.

"No matter what, she’s still family. How can you be like this!" Wu Cuifen shouted angrily, "You’ve all become wealthy and act as if you don’t have relatives anymore."

"Fine, return everything you’ve stolen from us, and I’ll acknowledge you as a relative," He Jingyu said, "You took everything from our house back then. If you don’t bring it back, yet still want to claim kinship with our family, you’re dreaming! Get out now!"

"At that time, I was just trying to escape from the enemy. I didn’t take anything," Wu Cuifen defended, "I really didn’t take anything!"

"What a joke. Everything in the old lady’s room went missing, even the gold hairpin from her head is gone. The old lady’s private stash was hidden in a secret place, and besides you, not even I or Jinming knew about it. And you still say you didn’t take anything. Moreover, after so many years, if you had no guilty conscience and truly had to run away with nowhere to turn, why did you only come back to claim kinship now?" Bai Qiongyu said coldly, looking down on this disgusting woman.

"I... Our family has been living in the countryside! There was so much to do at home, so it got delayed," Wu Cuifen explained, "As soon as I came back, I came to acknowledge kinship."
