Chapter 221: 221 She’s just a wild girl (first watch)

Everyone naturally turned to look at Su Guisheng and his wife upon hearing Xiaofeng’s words. Everyone knew about the visit to Guaizi’s home yesterday morning, but since the visitors didn’t stay long and no one had inquired who they were or what they wanted.

Now, with what Xiaofeng had just said, everyone understood; it turned out that the three people who visited Guaizi’s home yesterday morning had stolen the money from Guisheng’s house.

Yes, it seemed like yesterday Guisheng got into a car with some people and then went to the county town, claiming he was looking for Xiaofeng.

So, they had intended to trick Xiaofeng out of her money, but having failed to do so, the con artists turned their attention to robbing Su Guisheng and his wife instead.

Thinking it over, everyone didn’t know what to say about Su Guisheng and his wife. Reflecting on the matter, if they hadn’t been so eager to get involved yesterday morning, would they have invited the wolf into their house, leading to their own front door being robbed?

At this thought, Su Wu couldn’t help but find it simultaneously laughable and frustrating, "Yeah, Uncle Guisheng, the moment someone arrived at Xiaofeng’s place, you were all too eager to approach them, not at all concerned whether they might be fraudsters. Unless you knew them beforehand, how could you possibly lead the way without question? Even if you were to show them the way, it should have been Guaizi who was more desperate, not you. Why such eagerness?"

Hence, it is said that one’s calculations should never be too precise, for in being too clever by half, one might inadvertently include oneself in the reckoning.

"Of course, he was in a hurry. He was eager to get a share of Xiaofeng’s money, how could he not be?" Someone muttered under their breath, yet it was the most truthful remark.

Su Guisheng was indeed in a hurry, far too much so.

If not for his unsightly greed, would he have ended up in such a plight?

Last night, they had truly thought that Su Guisheng and his wife had seen the error of their ways and were earnestly mourning for Old Liang’s family. It turned out, that wasn’t the case at all; it was because Guisheng’s money had been stolen, and he didn’t dare to even whimper about it.

Everyone was no fool; if Guisheng and his wife’s money had been stolen, why didn’t they dare to make a sound? Was it because they knew they were in the wrong, having led the wolf back home, and so they didn’t dare to draw attention to themselves?

"Oh, brother, you were just too hasty. Now look what’s happened, you didn’t get any advantage, and you’ve thrown your entire fortune into the mix. Tell me, brother, when your money was stolen last night, why didn’t you say anything? Everyone was home last night; if you had spoken up, how could we all have possibly ignored it?" Su Wentao, the son of the third uncle, chimed in.

"Exactly, you bring in someone whose background is completely unknown, being so anxious to have Xiaofeng quickly distribute her possessions." The expression on the third uncle’s face was not too pleasant.

Embarrassing, it was truly too embarrassing.

After such an incident, who else could be blamed? Other than blaming their own impatience and greed, whom else could they blame?

Listening to the accusations from the third uncle’s family, Su Guisheng was seething with rage, "Yes, I was in a hurry. Xiaofeng is not my brother’s daughter, she’s not of the Su Family’s bloodline. Why should she take the things belonging to our old Su Family when she gets married?"

Now that it had come to this, what was left unsaid?

As for Xiaofeng, she was nothing but a misbegotten wild girl, most definitely not my brother’s daughter. Had not my brother raised her, who knows where this wild girl would be now, dreaming that Su Dada would leave anything for her, dreaming she shouldn’t even think about.

Su Guisheng’s words had indeed caused quite a stir among those present.

Xiaofeng not born of Su old Guaizi’s bloodline? Impossible. Although Xiaofeng was taller than both Guaizi and Su Yuzhu and didn’t inherit Su old Guaizi’s ordinary looks, she was still slightly more attractive than Luo Yuzhu.

After all, Luo Yuzhu had been visibly pregnant with Xiaofeng when she lived in Lihua Village, bearing a real baby bump, and had even hired a midwife. How could that be faked?

"Guisheng, some food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words should not be spoken carelessly. Although Luo Yuzhu is now divorced from Guaizi, she fell pregnant not long after marrying into the family. That baby bump of hers couldn’t have been fake. Now you say Xiaofeng is not Guaizi’s biological daughter, isn’t that utter nonsense?" Some people, even after suffering a big loss, don’t necessarily become wiser. It seems he’s become muddled with rage, daring to spill anything and everything.

Ma Donghua, who didn’t believe in the third uncle, immediately stood up, her eyes flicking over Xiaofeng, who seemed calm and untroubled, and felt even more infuriated, "Guisheng is not lying; Luo Yuzhu told me herself. She said her own daughter died shortly after a full month had passed, then she picked up Xiaofeng and brought her home. If Xiaofeng really was Luo Yuzhu’s biological daughter, even if Luo Yuzhu remarried, it would be impossible for her not to come back and take a look even once."

As Ma Donghua finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Xiaofeng, hoping to discern something from her expression.

Previously, Xiaofeng had always longed to be with Luo Yuzhu. Now suddenly being told she was not Luo Yuzhu’s daughter, could Xiaofeng accept this?

Officer Hong and several police officers stood to the side, also observing Xiaofeng.

They could have directly discussed the matter with Su Guisheng, but now it seemed they were going to witness a full-blown domestic melodrama.

Since they had been rather bored lately, listening in wouldn’t be too bad, and it might even help with the case.

Upon hearing Ma Donghua’s words, Xiaofeng merely gave a light laugh, with no trace of sorrow or sentimentality on her face. To be precise, she was composed, and beyond that, her expression revealed nothing else.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she took a step forward, the smile lingering at the corners of her lips, barely there, "Folks, according to what Luo Yuzhu said, the child back then died accidentally, and then at the hospital, she encountered me, abandoned, and decided to take me in."

She paused, "Because she did not want me to have any further entanglements with the Lin Family, Luo Yuzhu had severed mother-daughter ties with me. There’s no longer a mother-daughter relationship between Luo Yuzhu and me, only that of ordinary people."

At Xiaofeng’s words, everyone was shocked once more.

The mother-daughter relationship had been severed, which implied that Xiaofeng truly was not Guaizi’s biological child.
