The rightful successor

  Until Wang's sister found me and pulled me out, the bright light was still flashing in my ears, buzzing loudly, until Mom held me by her side, her hand tightly grasping mine.

  "This is, our Xiaoran's legitimate wife, come and say hello to everyone!" Mom was laughing beautifully and calling me, but I couldn't get a word out, my flustered eyes, I couldn't even find a line of sight that made me feel at ease.

  "Excuse me, when did you get married to Mr. Huo?"

  "Excuse me, didn't you know that Chen Ningrui has always been President Huo's girlfriend?"

  "Now Sister Chen is pregnant, how will you deal with the child in her belly? Will you acknowledge this child's status?"

  Endless questions, I don't even know who asked which one, mouths opening and closing until laughter came from beside me: "Yun Lian! Where did you find this fake? Look at that country bumpkin look, how could Xiao Ran possibly marry her? Even if it's fake, at least find someone a bit more presentable."

  Yun Li smiled lightly: "My wife is just too reserved, but her marriage to Xiao Ran was registered a month ago! As for the truth, I believe you all have your own ways of investigating."

  I saw Chen Ningru staring at me with her almond-shaped eyes, Yunli raised an eyebrow and said: "Alright! Everyone please leave! As for what you are most concerned about, the child in Sister Chen's belly, I don't dare to make a conclusion too early, let's just wait until she gives birth! After giving birth, do a paternity test, if it is really our Ho family's child, of course, I won't ignore it, but only if it is indeed our Ho family's child!"

  The crowd began to murmur, some people started talking, wondering if the child was really from the Huo family. Some people pointed at Chen Ning and whispered to each other. Chen Ning's face looked a bit awkward, her gaze drifting around as if searching for something.

  To avoid the flashing lights that made me uncomfortable, I also looked further away. In the corridor leading to the dining hall, a black figure appeared, which was somewhat surprising - my aunt, who had never spoken to me before!

  I remember her name should be An Zhang, turned around and saw Chen Ningrui also went to An Zhang, they seemed to have some connection, but when I looked back again, there was no shadow of An Zhang.

  After the reporter was sent away, Chen Ningui didn't stay for long either. She left after saying a few harsh words, but her demeanor no longer had the proud and arrogant look of a peacock, instead looking like a lost dog that had fallen into water without its owner.

  "Zhou Di, come to the study!" Mom got up and walked upstairs.

  I have no choice, all I can do is follow them like a poor dog wagging its tail.

  "Now that you've been exposed, it's better if you have some awareness, although..."

  "Madam!" The door was knocked by Wang's sister-in-law, interrupting Mother's words.

  My mother gave a look of annoyance at the door and I quickly opened it to see Wang's wife holding up some fruit.

  "Madam! This..." Wang's sister-in-law inquired with a gaze at Yun Li, but Mother only let her put it down. Soon, Wang's sister-in-law retreated and saw Mother standing by the window, rubbing something on her hand.

  "Actually, I don't need to say more. The most important thing is that you should be clear about your own position! Although I acknowledged you, but you will always just be a decoration, do you understand?"

  I nodded, actually I didn't need her to do it, mom was about to pick up the fruit plate, stretched out her hand, but shook her head because of something in her hand. I quickly picked up an apple from the plate and took a fruit knife that had been prepared inside and started peeling it. In the end, I cut the apple into pieces, put them on the plate, and placed a fruit fork on top.

  "Then I'll leave first!" I hope she knows that I won't be her stumbling block, and those so-called disputes I won't participate in.
