“As long as you bear the family name of Zhao, then I have the right to handle this!” The clan head roared and paused before turning to Lu Ming. “I can make the decision here. So, why do you have a drawing of Chenglan?”

Lu Ming repeated what he had just told Niu Tongsheng.

After that, the clan head immediately said, “Since Chenglan is your young lady, I understand. I’m sure losing their daughter was difficult for her parents. Unfortunately, Chenglan has already passed away. But she did give birth to a daughter. She’s still here in this village.”

“Our old master has heard that the young lady has passed away, and he was deeply saddened by it. He became ill from that, and he no longer had the strength to handle family affairs. He just wants to see Chenglan’s daughter. The reason we are here is to bring her home.”

“It’s natural that she goes back with you. She’s Old Mr. Xia’s granddaughter, after all. However, Chuchu is already married, so we can’t decide for her.”

“Can we see her?”

The back and forth between the two sounded as if it made sense.

However, Zhao Chuchu was already holding back the urge to tell them to practice their acting more.

She couldn’t believe they actually had the nerve to pretend they were alone.

“But…” The clan head looked a little troubled. “Although we want to lead you there, Chuchu has already separated from us. Even I can’t do anything about it. But if she’s Old Mr. Xia’s granddaughter, it’s natural that she returns and pays her respect in her mother’s stead.”

Niu Tongsheng was completely speechless now.

Lu Ming nodded. “You’re right. Why don’t you just lead us to her, and we’ll do the talking? As for the problem between you and her, we’ll take care of it as well. However, it’s still up to her if the Xia clan will take revenge on this family.”

It was clear that Lu Ming was threatening Madam Yang.

If Zhao Chuchu wished for them to live a hard life, they would have to suffer. They were the ones who targeted Zhao Chuchu first, after all.

Madam Yang became restless, just as expected.

“Madam Yang, why don’t you come with us and persuade Chuchu to return to the Xia clan? They are a big family. She won’t have to suffer if she goes back. If she lives a better life, she might forgive your family too, no? You were also the one who made her marry Xie Heng. It makes sense that you can separate them too.”

The clan head understood that the Xia clan only wanted Zhao Chuchu, and they didn’t want Xie Heng to go with her.

He didn’t have the power to force Zhao Chuchu, but he could still force Old Man Zhao and Madam Yang.

If the two did that, then Zhao Chuchu would have to comply if she didn’t want to ruin Xie Heng’s future.

Niu Tongsheng couldn’t hold back any longer and scolded, “Chuchu is officially not a part of the Zhao clan anymore. So what? Are you trying to sell her now? Not one of you has the right to mess with her marriage! How are you still so sly despite being so old already?”

“This is our business and has nothing to do with you, Niu Tongsheng!” The clan head scoffed. “Even if you’re the village chief, you have no right to meddle in our familv’s business! As long as Chuchu bears the name Zhao. she’ll still be a

part of us!”

“Is that so? But what are you doing in my presence? Nothing.” Zhao Chuchu suddenly walked out of the crowd and grinned at the clan head. “I have the official document with me that states that I have nothing to do with the Zhao clan anymore. How can you be so shameless?”

“Chuchu, I’m doing this for your own good! The Xia clan is big! They are the Xia clan from the Guangqing Province and are rich! You can live a good life if you go back with them!” the clan head quickly persuaded. “You’re still young, so you don’t know how important money is yet! Going back to the Xia clan is a huge thing for you!”

“Good for you or me? How much did they pay for you to lie so blatantly? Didn’t

I tell you again and again that you have no right to decide for me?”

“I didn’t…”

“Trying to sell me? You?”

Zhao Chuchu’s glare was so intense that the clan head had to take a few steps back as a shiver ran down his spine.

Lu Ming and Xia Chenglan had been staring at Zhao Chuchu since she showed herself.

Lu Ming could instantly recognize her, as she had been walking in and out of the Xia clan’s mansion for a while back then.

He had already known that Miss Lin was Zhao Chuchu, but he was still shocked when his guess was proven right.

“Miss, your mother is the young lady of the Xia clan. We are here on Old Mr. Xia’s order. He misses your mother a lot, but unfortunately for us, she is no longer with us. So since you’re an adult, why don’t you come back with us to see him?” Lu Ming asked, dropping the arrogance that he just had.

Zhao Chuchu glanced at him. “Butler, we meet again. The world sure is small, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Who would’ve thought that Miss Lin was the person we were looking for?

If I had known, I would’ve asked you to stay back then.”

“Well, unfortunately for you, I have no interest in the Xia clan. After staying here for so many years, not one of you came to visit my mom. You guys were also nowhere to be seen when I almost starved to death. So where were you guys back then?”

“How dare you?” Xia Chenglan roared. “Is this how you talk to your elder?” “Elder? Who the heck are you anyway?”

“Your mother has been using my name! I’m your aunt! Now that your mother is dead, I’m pretty much your mother now! It’s your responsibility to do as I say!”

“Hah! Mother, you say? Did you give birth to me, or did you raise me? You sure are a shameless one. Too bad for you. I really can’t bring myself to call a woman who pissed herself my mother. It’s just too embarrassing.”

Zhao Chuchu purposely humiliated them in front of everyone else.

She couldn’t believe that the Xia clan had actually tried to force her to return before she could even give them a taste of their own medicine.

“You’re unfit to be my mother. Stop thinking so highly of yourself. I have no responsibility to pay respect to your clan. I’ve always heard that big clans are very well-educated and well-mannered, but I guess you guys are nothing more than vile peasants who always try to take advantage of other people. Also, you kept saying that my mom is the young lady of the Xia clan. Well, where’s the proof?”

“Zhao Chuchu! Mind your manners!”

“Who do you think you are?”

“Y-you…”

Xia Chenglan was so angered by Zhao Chuchu that she was speechless. All she could do was point at the lady with her trembling finger.

Zhao Chuchu slapped the finger away. “I hate it when people point at me like that. You should be happy that I’m in a good mood today, or else I would’ve snapped that finger of yours.”

“Zhao Chuchu! The Xia clan is a clan that you can never hope to be a part of!

You better not regret this!” Xia Chenglan yelled..
