Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Cold Attitude_1

“Impossible… impossible…” Yuan Xueshan was overwhelmed with shock. All these years, she had married into the Huo family, given birth to their best son. She had worked diligently to earn money and take care of the entire family.

She never retorted a word even when the burden of Granny Huo weighed heavily on her head.

Where did she go wrong?

What gave them the right to judge her?

“Do you think I will believe you if you stand here and spout nonsense?”

“Well, you can try, hmm! Since the day you abandoned Granny Huo, catering only to your precious daughter, no one has bothered about you.”

This town was small, composed mostly of neighbors who have lived there for decades. Any news could spread across the whole town within an hour.

“You thought you could embarrass others by running into the village, yet you and your daughter embarrassed yourselves instead. Did you honestly think we wouldn’t know? Tsk tsk… You’ve really tarnished Principal Huo’s reputation. I can’t imagine what he saw in you.”

Yuan Xueshan’s greatest insecurity was that she did not match Huo Linong. With Huo Beijiang growing up, her inferiority complex deepened. Her son, superior in looks, personality, and ability, bore no resemblance to her.

A son so outstanding, not at all like his mother. This constant reminder tormented her.

Yuan Xueshan felt dizzy and on the verge of collapse after enduring these heavy blows. But she couldn’t give up. She must find Granny Huo. Her pleas fell on deaf ears at each house she visited.

In the end, upon hearing her name, people simply refused to see her.

Yuan Xueshan stood alone on the street, terrified. The town’s streetlights were sparse, barely illuminating the surroundings. Positioned between two lights, she looked around, recollecting the events of recent times.

She didn’t know how things had turned out this way.

“Aunt Yuan?”

Yuan Xueshan looked and saw a tall girl emerging from the darkness. It was only when she came closer that she recognized her as the girl from the pig’s head seller’s family.

“Aunt Yuan, Nan Fei asked me to tell you that Granny Huo is with her, so you don’t need to worry.” Lu Qingtian wasn’t fond of Yuan Xueshan and didn’t pay much attention to this matter.

It was only as she was about to get into bed when she remembered. Initially too lazy to get up, but then she thought about how Nan Fei was her friend now and that she would get to copy her homework, she decided to come.

Yuan Xueshan felt her knees buckle, and she slumped to the ground.

For a moment, she felt an immense sense of relief.

Thinking about Jiang Nanfei, she felt at a loss for words.

*****

At home, Huo Jinlan rolled out of her soft bed. Her silk nightgown was bunched up in a ball around her.

In reality, she wasn’t asleep.

She had purposely lied to Yuan Xueshan.

Since childhood, she was quite grateful to Yuan Xueshan. Her kindness to her was from the heart. In her younger days, she completely depended on Yuan Xueshan, except for the times when she thought she was a bit dumb.

Everything else was great.

But the humiliation she had endured today had no outlet, so she started loathing Yuan Xueshan as well.

It’s all her fault!

All due to her being useless, stupid and having no standing in the family. She couldn’t help her.

If it were her biological mother, she definitely would have gotten her brother’s support by now.

Jiang Nanfei wouldn’t even be involved at all.
