Chapter 374: Seeing Off Guests

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “You’re right, this is the only possibility. It’s been twenty years, and you suddenly appear. Is it because our family’s Mengli is now an SSS-class Awakener, making you useful again? Do you think she will recognize you?”

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli worked together seamlessly, completely exposing Shen Biru’s true intentions, rendering her prepared excuses useless.

However, even in this situation, Shen Biru did not give up. She resorted to a woman’s greatest weapon – tears!

Her acting skills were top-notch, and at this moment, she was genuinely heartbroken for not being able to bask in Su Mengli’s glory.

Therefore, she cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, saying, “Daughter, you can misunderstand me in any way you want, but you must know, there is no mother in this world who doesn’t love her daughter. I am no exception. I truly want the chance to make it up to you.”

Ye Xuan looked at her pretentious demeanor and said calmly, “Enough with his motherly act. Do you even deserve to be compared to all mothers? Besides, you are quite cunning. First, you approached Fang Junfeng, had him invite me out for coffee, and then came to our house when Mengli was alone, trying to deceive my wife with sweet words, right? Unfortunately, with me around, none of your schemes will succeed!”

Shen Biru’s expression became even more embarrassed, unable to utter a single word.

At that moment, Shen Biru’s son, Shen Xiaoguang, couldn’t hold back any longer.

Glaring at Ye Xuan, he said, “You can’t speak ill of my mother like that! Sister, how can you let your husband speak about our mother like this? Do you know how much Mom has missed you over the years, always mentioning you?”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli chuckled, “Always mentioning me? Then tell me, when was I sent away?”

With this question, Shen Xiaoguang stuttered, unable to say anything.

Not to mention Shen Xiaoguang, even Shen Biru herself couldn’t speak. In her eyes, giving birth to Su Mengli was a disgrace and a stain on her career. She feared that if she drank too much, she might accidentally reveal this secret. Thus, she deliberately suppressed this memory, forgetting Su Mengli’s true birthday and the day she was sent away.

Observing the three’s reactions, Su Mengli shrugged and said, “It’s clear from the moment you entered my house, everything you’ve said is nonsense. Whether big or small, there’s hardly any truth in your words. I have nothing more to say to you. Whether you are my birth mother or not, leave now and don’t disturb us anymore!”

Shen Biru hurriedly said, “Daughter, I’m sorry. I only ask for a few more minutes here, to look at you a little longer, please?”

Su Mengli rolled her eyes and said, “No, time to see you off!”

Su Mengli was already dissatisfied. As soon as she said “see you off,” her four maids and the old housekeeper surrounded them.

They stared straight at Shen Biru and her family, advancing step by step.

Simultaneously, their appearances gradually transformed from normal to ghostly forms.

Shen Biru and her two mixed-race children, being ordinary people, couldn’t handle this situation. They were terrified and fled in panic.

Ye Xuan watched them leave, then tightly embraced Su Mengli, saying, “Mengli, if you’re not feeling well, let it out. Don’t keep it bottled up.”

Su Mengli softly replied, “I’m not sad, just a bit uncomfortable and need to vent.”

Ye Xuan immediately asked, “How do you want to vent?”

Su Mengli whispered a few words in Ye Xuan’s ear, her face turning red.

Without a word, Ye Xuan princess-carried Su Mengli off the couch, back to the bedroom, closing the door with a bang.

On the other side, after leaving Su Mengli’s house, Shen Biru and her children were dissatisfied.

Shen Xiaoguang asked, “Mom, Sister doesn’t recognize you. What should we do now?”

Shen Biru’s two children, being mixed-race, had both Chinese and foreign names. Their Chinese names followed Shen Biru’s surname, while their foreign names followed their father’s surname.

Upon hearing her son’s words, Shen Biru coldly said, “Since she doesn’t recognize me, then I will recognize her! Among the few SSS-class geniuses, two are my daughters and son-in-law. Twenty years ago, I was also a queen. Once I reveal this relationship, my fame will skyrocket. I’ll earn multiples more for endorsements and TV appearances!”

Shen Xiaoguang asked, “But won’t Sister be angry?”

Shen Biru replied indifferently, “So what if she’s angry? I am still her birth mother, that’s a fact! Since she refuses to acknowledge me, why not use this relationship for publicity? Will she dare to harm me? I am her real mother. Will she dare to commit such a heinous act?”

Shen Xiaoguang retorted, “Mom, I think we should try to reconcile with Sister instead of exploiting this relationship for temporary gain and drifting further apart.”

Glaring at her son, Shen Biru said, “You dare to lecture me? Fine, let me tell you, once I publicize this, various shows will come looking for me. My income will increase tenfold or twentyfold in a year. You can also restore our family’s previous lifestyle before bankruptcy. So, do you want temporary gain or continue trying to reconcile, hoping that unfilial daughter forgives me?”

Shen Biru also wished to acknowledge Su Mengli, but she underestimated Ye Xuan’s ability to be by Su Mengli’s side at all times. With the couple together, she had no chance. Therefore, she could only resort to using this relationship for publicity, earning a sum to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

Shen Xiaoguang, who had lived a privileged life but later faced financial difficulties, also hoped his mother could regain fame. Thus, he agreed with Shen Biru’s plan to exploit Su Mengli for profit.

However, before Shen Biru could contact her agent to proceed with this plan, several figures blocked her path, saying, “Shen Biru, come with us!”
