Chapter 18: Secret Plan
Looking at Duan Yixin's calm expression, Chi Xinru knew that Duan Yixin had guessed the reason why the Duan family came and had a way to deal with them. She nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let's go. I want to see how shameless these people can be."
Seeing the two of them coming, Zhao Xiaohua pulled her husband's sleeve. When Duan Sida turned around and saw them coming, he pointed at Duan Yixin and said angrily, "You damn girl! Do you still know to come back? Do you know we've been waiting for hours?"
Hearing what he said, Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I remember I told you yesterday that you are not welcome in my home. Since you ignored my words, it's not my fault you had waited for hours. Besides, it was you who insisted on coming and not me who asked you to come."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expression of Duan Sida and the rest of the Duan family sank.
A fat middle-aged woman pointed at Duan Yixin and said, "Look at her! That is the reason why I told my father-in-law not to accept this little bastard after the little aunt's death. Look what's happening now? My little aunt died, leaving behind this white-eyed wolf! Our Duan family has raised her for sixteen years, and now she acts like we owe her money!"
As soon as she said this, a thin middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Duan Sida clicked his tongue and said, "Stop talking about Mengling. She has been dead for sixteen years, and it is useless to talk about it now."
Duan Yixin felt her heartache when she heard the name. She touched her chest and asked Chi Xinru with a frown, "Xinru, who is Mengling?"
Chi Xinru looked at her and said with a hint of sadness in her voice, "Xin Xin, Duan Mengling is your mother's name. Have you forgotten even about her?"
Duan Yixin lowered her hands and thought to herself, 'How can I remember something I never knew? But... if I can feel her heartache when I hear her name, then the original owner must have loved her mother deeply. It is a pity that both mother and daughter have left this world.'
After a moment of silence, Duan Yixin looked at the thin middle-aged man and said, "I don't know what your purpose is in coming here and talking about my mother. But if you want to use my mother to force me to marry Master Chen, then please go back. I won't marry him or anyone else. If you want to get married, just marry him yourselves."
She glanced at the young women in the crowd and said, "Or maybe send your own daughters to that Master Chen."
After saying that, Duan Yixin ignored them and walked into her house. Following her, Chi Xinru looked at those people with disgust, then closed the low wooden door.
