When Hai Lan was just a little beggar, she would look at the mansion every day, envying when she could live there herself.
Finally, the gem of the Hai Family had an accident, and the opportunity fell into her lap.
In the room, Hai Lan was holding a collection of Tagore’s poetry, but she hadn’t really read a word all morning.
It was only when Chen Huaying pushed the door open that she captured her attention.
"Well! Did you walk into the wrong room? Our Hai Family doesn’t welco just anyone." Hai Lan put down the book and sat cross-legged on the bed. The room was as warm as spring, and she was wearing only a beige cashre sweater, a low-cut one at that.
Chen Huaying couldn’t help but feel envious; the treatnt was indeed great, sothing she had never enjoyed in her whole life.
"Hehehe..." Chen Huaying feigned ignorance, "I heard you took leave, so I ca to see you."
"I took leave, and you don’t know the real reason?"
"I know, that’s why I ca to see you."
Upon hearing this, Hai Lan beca furious, "Chen Huaying, what do you an? Are you here to mock and kick while I’m down? Don’t you see who you are? Even at my worst, I’m still better than you. You don’t look at your own status."
The Chen Family was the very lowest in the compound; Mr. Chen was an old leader, true, but his position was quite ordinary. Well, it wasn’t exactly ordinary, but compared to Mr. Su and Elder Hai, he really couldn’t compete.
Chen Huaying was self-aware, but she had never felt inferior or compared herself to others.
"This is gratitude mistaken for donkey liver and lungs. Qin Cuifen is released. You two get along so well, I just ca to tell you."
"What’s there to notify?" Hai Lan would rather separate from Qin Cuifen imdiately.
Chen Huaying smiled aningfully, "Are you really naive or just plain innocent? Do you think Qin Cuifen will let you go now that she’s out?"
"What do you an?"
"Don’t you understand what I an? Qin Cuifen scratched Liu Yilan’s face, wasn’t it your instigation? She might not have realized it then, but after being locked up for so long, and you being released before her, she has grown to hate you," Chen Huaying shrugged. "She’s been looking for you ever since she got out! I’m telling you this because we are from the sa compound. Really, my good intentions are mistaken for donkey liver and lungs. Wait until she makes a scene here and see whose face will be lost."
"Really?" Hai Lan looked doubtful; she feared nothing more than losing face. Qin Cuifen, driven to desperation, was truly capable of anything.
If she really made a scene at the entrance of the compound, their Hai Family’s reputation would be ruined. Not only would her grandfather be angry, but her parents would be too.
Thinking of this possibility, Hai Lan couldn’t sit still anymore. No, she absolutely couldn’t give Qin Cuifen this opportunity.
"Do you really not know whether it’s true or false? Can you say you didn’t firmly assure Qin Cuifen, with your hand on your chest, saying she is the Su Family’s lost granddaughter?"
Hai Lan felt guilty; she had indeed said that, and she had exaggerated the events involving Sheng Ning in the Su Family.
"If you hadn’t said that, giving her the impression she had a strong backing, would she have dared? She wouldn’t dare to lift a finger without that belief."
Chen Huaying spoke nothing but the truth, Qin Cuifen was known for putting on airs and looking down on others. Although Liu Yilan’s status wasn’t exactly powerful, she was soone Qin Cuifen couldn’t afford to offend.
She dared to act so ruthlessly precisely because she felt supported and no longer needed to fear.
