1230 Don’t Forget Your Roots
“How many people know about this?” Su Yanyun asked again.
“Not much.” An Mingchen looked very confident. “Zhengzheng, don’t worry. I don’t want the news to spread. No one will know.”
“That’s strange...” Su Yanyun muttered. “Did the Hua family really not receive any concrete news?”
“What’s the matter with the Hua family?” An Mingchen hurriedly asked, not missing any opportunity to chat with Zhengzheng.
Su Yanyun told An Mingchen about the Hua family looking for the Rong family and asking for Hua Qingmei.
“They’re lying to you, right?” An Mingchen raised his hand, clearly disapproving. “I’m at ease with my trusted aide’s work. It’s impossible for the Hua family to obtain any concrete information. If they really have any news, they wouldn’t just ask you for Hua Qingmei.”
An Mingchen’s words made sense.
“But I keep feeling that something is wrong on your side.” Su Yanyun said what she thought. “The Hua family might not be able to get any evidence, but they must have heard something. It’s very likely that this news came from your side.”
“Then let the Hua family come and ask me for her.” An Mingchen smiled disdainfully. “I’ll give them a satisfactory answer.”
Of course, the Hua family didn’t dare to ask the An family for her.
But they kept finding trouble with Madam Rong.
At the end of the day, Madam Rong was still surnamed Hua...
What made her feel the most overwhelmed was that the Hua family had also sent her elderly parents over.
“Sixuan, you and Qingmei grew up together and married into the Rong family together. Now that something like this has happened to her, you can’t just sit back and do nothing.” Madam Rong’s mother held her hand.
“Mother, it’s not that I don’t care, but I can’t.” Madam Rong couldn’t chase her biological parents away, so she could only brush them off. “Qingmei fled because of her crime. I also want to find her and let her turn herself in.”
“Turn herself in!” Madam Rong’s father scoffed. “Have you really married into the Rong family and forgotten your roots? Don’t forget, your surname is Hua! If anything happens between our Hua family members, we can fight at home, but when we go outside, we have to be harmonious. We can’t let outsiders laugh at us!”
Madam Rong stopped talking.
Although they were her biological parents, her feelings for them had long been worn down by the grudges in the past.
She would be polite to her parents on the surface and not argue with them if there was a disagreement.
But it was not up to them to decide what to do.
Seeing that Madam Rong didn’t say anything, Father Hua didn’t realize that his daughter was unhappy at all and thought that his lecturing had worked.
He continued. “So, you better tell me honestly about Qingmei’s matter. Where did she go and what is happening to her now? Did your Rong family do anything outrageous to her? If you really did, hand her over. This is an internal conflict of our Hua family. We’ll settle it ourselves behind closed doors.”
“Father.” Madam Rong’s voice was still gentle. “I’m just a woman. If Qingmei only did something to me, I can forgive her on account of our sisterly relationship, but this time, she harmed the Old Master. Even if I don’t pursue her, the Rong family won’t sit by and do nothing.”
