“Mom.”

The caller was her husband’s mother, Grandmother Sheng. Her tone was quite tough. “Did you arrange for Sheng Yang to study at Yan City High School?”

Kang Weizhen answered without hesitation, “Yes.”

After a short pause, she asked tentatively, “Who told you this?”

Why had the news reached the old lady’s ears so quickly? That was strange.

Kang Weizhen thought of Sheng Yue. No matter how well Sheng Yue disguised herself, Kang Weizhen could see through her real intentions.

After dealing with all kinds of people for so many years, she could easily tell if a person harbored evil intentions or not.

However, Sheng Yue was gentle and kind before.

“Is that the point? Walls have ears!” The old lady burst into anger, raising her voice. “Weizhen, do you know how many partners of the Sheng Family have children studying at Yan City High School? I understand you’re very happy that Sheng Yang is back, but why does she have to study at Yan City High School?”

Kang Weizhen lowered her eyes. “Mom, she suffered so much since she was a child and she has the right to receive a good education. I brought her back home not to fulfill my wish but to make up for her for what she’s lost.”

The old lady sneered. “So you insist on sending Sheng Yang to Yan City High School?”

Without waiting for Kang Weizhen to respond, she quickly said overbearingly, “What if I don’t agree?”

Kang Weizhen paused and answered adamantly, “Sheng Yang is my daughter. It’s up to me which high school she goes to.”

“Hmph… do you mean as her grandmother, I have no say in her affairs?”

Kang Weizhen smiled but her tone was very firm. “I didn’t mean that, but you’re elderly and deserve some peace and quiet. You don’t have to worry so much about your granddaughter.”

“How dare you…”

“Mom, it’s getting late. Go to bed soon; I still have work to do. The board of directors is waiting for me to make a decision.”

Not expecting Kang Weizhen to hang up on her, the old lady was so angry that her nostrils were almost smoking. She turned her head and said, “Xinyi, listen, listen to what she said. She didn’t show me any respect! I told Old Sheng not to let Kang Weizhen manage the company, but he just didn’t listen to me and even said that I knew nothing!”

She had tried repeatedly to persuade her husband to give more management rights of the company to their second son whom she trusted. She didn’t like her elder son’s wife at all. This was the Sheng Family’s company! Even if her family had 50% of the company’s shares, so what? When a woman was married, everything should belong to her husband. This woman just didn’t know her place!

Jiang Xinyi massaged the old lady’s shoulders gently, saying nothing.

Talking too much at such a time might backfire. She’d better just listen quietly.

The old lady continued to nag, “Honestly, your husband was stupid to refuse when Old Sheng offered to give him a branch office to manage. He said he’d rather lie down and just wait to receive dividends every year. He really shouldn’t…”

Jiang Xinyi smiled. “Mom, he didn’t mean that. I know him best. He was afraid of causing conflicts between elder brother and sister-in-law.”

“She wouldn’t dare!” The old lady scowled. “The Sheng Family belongs to the Shengs. She’s not in a position to tell anyone what to do! Just because she has some power in her hands doesn’t mean the Sheng Family is hers!”

“Mom, Weizhen and I were roommates in college. She is a very nice person. Maybe she was too eager to defend her daughter so she went against you. Don’t be mad; it’s not good for your health.”

The old lady turned and looked at her second daughter-in-law behind her. Apart from the fact that her family background was worse than Kang Weizhen and she was of little benefit to the development of the Sheng Family, she was gentle, reasonable, and considerate—way better than Kang Weizhen!

“You’re so sweet.” Madam Sheng held Jiang Xinyi’s hand gently. “Alas, I really don’t understand. There are already so many children in our family and each of them is excellent. Why did they bother to bring back such a useless kid? She’s simply the disgrace of our family!”

Jiang Xinyi lowered her eyes and her voice was soft. “Mom, don’t worry. Yueyue is in the same grade as Sheng Yang. She’ll help her cousin.”

Before Sheng Yang came to the school, the news about her had gone viral at school.

The Sheng Family was renowned in Yan City, almost second to none, so news about the family members attracted attention easily.

As the only daughter in the Sheng Family, Sheng Yue was always in the limelight. Chased by boys and envied by girls, she had always been the focus of attention.

But this time, her position was taken by Sheng Yang.

However, the gossip about Sheng Yang wasn’t kind.

Few people knew that the Sheng Family lost a daughter many years ago.

Sheng You, the elder son of the Sheng Family, was most likely to inherit the Sheng Family, but this billionaire suddenly pulled a daughter out of thin air.

Therefore there were all kinds of rumors about this daughter. Someone said Sheng You had three sons but no daughter so they adopted a girl, but some vicious people gossiped that Sheng Yang was Sheng You’s illegitimate daughter from another woman. For the sake of family harmony, Kang Weizhen was forced to accept this girl and had to pretend she was her own child in front of outsiders.

Although the Sheng Family had claimed that Sheng Yang was their long-missing daughter, people didn’t believe it at all, thinking it was a sheer lie.

The people particularly keen to spread rumors were those whose families and family relations weren’t as good as the Sheng Family.

Those women had long been jealous of Kang Weizhen. How could she be so lucky to excel in both career and family?

They always gossiped about the conflict between Sheng You and Kang Weizhen in private, but reality slapped them in the face over and over again.

Now they finally had a chance, so they would certainly grasp it and tell the news to everyone they knew!

“Gee, that couple always pretends to be so in love. It turned out to be fake.”

“Kang Weizhen is such an aggressive woman. Men wouldn’t like a woman like her.”

“Why do they like acting so much? I used to envy them, but now I only feel nauseous. Is preserving one’s face so important?”

These words were unsurprisingly overheard by their children which then spread throughout the school.

A girl came up to Sheng Yue for confirmation. Sheng Yue was quietly doing her exercises, showing her beautiful profile. In the eyes of others, she was such an excellent and sweet girl. Not only was she a straight-A student, but she also had a nice personality, always willing to explain exercises to other students. She was almost impeccably perfect.

Sheng Yue frowned, her voice a little raised. “Don’t talk nonsense. Sheng Yang is definitely my uncle’s biological daughter.”

Seeing Sheng Yue angry, the students were embarrassed and didn’t continue to ask, but her words got them thinking.

Sheng Yue only said that Sheng Yang was Sheng You’s biological daughter but she didn’t deny that she wasn’t his illegitimate daughter! So what did this mean?

It seemed that there must be something they didn’t know.

Sheng Yue was such a nice girl, so of course she would defend her uncle.

At this time, a shiny black Rolls Royce stopped at the gates of Yan City High School.
