Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 236 - Chapter 236 Chapter 236 Begging at My House Before

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Begging at My House Before Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Begging at My House Before Port City Hotel, Yuhua Hall.

Gong Yunxue saw them coming over and immediately greeted them.

Seeing Lu Xining with a cold face and Little Dumpling pouting angrily in her arms, she asked in confusion, “What happened?”

Just as Lu Xining was about to speak, she heard Feng Suli’s voice from behind.

She said to Gong Yunxue with a smile, “Yunxue, Aunt Feng heard from your father that you’re holding a photography exhibition in Port City and specially came to support you.”

The girl with the babyface also offered a gift, “Sister Yunxue, this is the gift Aunt Feng prepared for you.”

Hearing their voices, Little Dumpling turned her head to look at Feng Suli and the baby-faced girl, then turned to look at Gong Yunxue again, but this time, she did not take the initiative to speak.

She looked at her mother with some worry.

And Lu Xining also realized from this that there was another relationship between Feng Suli and Gong Yunxue.

As friends, and with today being the celebration banquet for the first stop of Gong Yunxue’s global photography tour, she didn’t want to make a scene and was about to take her daughter elsewhere when she saw Gong Yunxue standing by her side.

“Ms. Feng, I’m glad you came to my celebration,” Gong Yunxue said.

“But I won’t accept the gift. My father and I have long since severed our father-daughter relationship. He has raised several cuckoo birds outside, each uglier than the last, living quite a hungry life.”

Gong Yunxue had been studying abroad since she became an adult, relying on scholarships and part-time jobs.

After graduation, she was also powering her passion for photography while starting a business with a few friends.

Lu Xining and she rarely inquired about each other’s family affairs.

Upon hearing this suddenly, Lu Xining immediately understood the meaning behind Gong Yunxue’s words.

Gong Yunxue patted Lu Xining’s hand and said straightforwardly, “She’s not invited by me, and I share no relation with her.”

Feng Suli’s face stiffened.

Especially when she heard “each uglier than the last,” she couldn’t maintain her smile anymore.

She cleared her throat and continued, “Yunxue, you can’t speak like that. No matter what, he is your father, and all he has done is for your own good. He’ll be upset if he hears you speak like this outside.”

Feng Suli saw Gong Yunxue remaining silent and thought her words had taken effect, so she continued with more vigor.

“Yunxue, when Aunt Feng sees your dad later, I’ll certainly speak on your behalf.”

Throughout, she maintained her elder’s demeanor, speaking to Gong Yunxue in a lecturing tone.

Gong Yunxue, who knew the inside story, looked at her coldly.

Lu Xining stopped her; after all, today was her celebration banquet.

She whispered a couple of words to her daughter’s ear.

Lu Nuonuo pouted and obediently covered her own ears.

Lu Xining stepped forward, smiling at Feng Suli: “Ms. Feng is truly kind, not paying attention to her own man at home, but running to someone else’s daughter to take charge of someone else’s man.

“One wouldn’t know better and might think you have some profound relationship with him.”

Already displeased with Lu Xining’s attitude from before, Feng Suli’s face suddenly darkened upon hearing her words.

“Do we need your interjection when we’re talking?”

Feng Suli raised her voice, immediately attracting the attention of the people around.

“Isn’t that Mrs. Zhou from the Zhou Family? How come she’s arguing here?”

From the day she arrived in Port City, Lu Xining had been prepared to encounter the Zhou Family and knew the kind of words that could come from their mouths.

Externally, the Zhou Family always demeaned her under the guise of helping her.

The baby-faced girl, seeing more and more people gathering around, naively asked, “Aunt Feng, who are they? They’re being so disrespectful to you.”

Already angered, Feng Suli became even more infuriated upon hearing that.

She pointed at Lu Xining and accused: “Xiao Lu, have you forgotten the days when you begged for food at our Zhou Family? Without the Zhou Family, you would have starved to death in the wilderness long ago.”

“Not even knowing gratitude is one thing, but you have the nerve to talk back to me? You’re truly an ungrateful wretch!”

Hearing Feng Suli’s indiscriminate words, Lu Xining remained emotionally stable.

After she had finished speaking, Lu Xining spoke softly, “Yes, the Zhou Family did bring me to Port City to study for the sake of my grandmother’s face, and I am grateful. I have never denied that help.”

Feng Suli cared about her reputation, and in her mind, Lu Xining surely wouldn’t have the nerve to speak the truth.

Because speaking out would be even more embarrassing.

As soon as Lu Xining uttered those words, Feng Suli’s complexion became much more relaxed.

However, the Lu Xining of today was not afraid of losing face.

“Don’t worry, I will never forget the three years I spent with the Zhou Family in my lifetime.”

At first, Lu Xining too thought she could study well here.

But only after arriving did she realize.

Aside from the days Zhou Jiawang was home, at all other times, she was expected to clean the entire villa after school, clean the litter boxes for Feng Suli’s beloved cats,

take the dog for walks, wash dishes, do laundry…

Had she not experienced it firsthand, she might have almost believed she’d been kidnapped to a factory in Southeast Asia.

And these weren’t even the worst of it.

As she spoke of these things, whispers arose around her.

“Aren’t these the kind of things a Filipino maid would do?”

“I can’t believe the Port City Zhou Family could do such things to a child.”

Feng Suli didn’t pay attention to the news from the Mainland.

She was, of course, unaware of Lu Xining’s current status, and only noticing the murmurs around her, she felt she couldn’t save face, and directly raised her hand to Lu Xining’s cheek with a slap.

“Shut up! Our Zhou Family was so good to you, everyone in Port City knew it back then!”

After she spoke, others echoed her sentiments.

“Indeed, I remember hearing that Old Madam Zhou treated this grandchild of an old friend no less than her own, spoiling her like a precious jewel.”

Feng Suli nodded at that person and said, “That’s right, my Zhou Family really did waste a fortune on an ungrateful wretch, and instead of gratitude, we got nothing but a stench. It’s utterly nauseating!”

Those who had been listening to Lu Xining’s words and had been looking at Feng Suli with critical eyes,

now looked at Lu Xining with disbelief.

She wasn’t flustered.

After Feng Suli finished speaking, Lu Xining continued, “But before my college entrance exam, wasn’t it your family who confiscated my ID card, forced me to kneel and sign a debt repayment for millions?”

“Now that the debt has been repaid in full, does Mrs. Zhou have any further dissatisfaction?”

People of Port City have a strong belief in metaphysics.

Lu Xining promptly added, “The gods are watching us from three feet above. Lying will bring retribution, you know.”

Feng Suli opened her mouth but couldn’t utter her next words for a long time.

Instead, the doll-faced girl by her side widened her eyes at Lu Xining, feigning confusion, “By saying this, are you trying to deny the help from the Zhou Family?”

She bit her lip, troubled, “Aunt Feng’s achievements in charity work are known to everyone in Port City.”

“And besides… shouldn’t everyone be grateful and repay kindness?”

For the first time, Lu Xining looked directly at this doll-faced girl.

As soon as the girl felt her gaze, she immediately trembled and hid behind Feng Suli.

She whispered timidly, “I–I’m just speaking what’s fair, don’t look at me so fiercely, I’m scared.”
