She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Chapter 0302 Confrontation in Front of the Spirit Hall (1) Chapter 302: Chapter 0302 Confrontation in Front of the Spirit Hall (1) Lin Yize really hadn't expected Sheng Xueqin to actually have the nerve to bring the issue up with him, and he chuckled.

“Miss Sheng, why exactly can't the vice president of the Huo Family enter? You need to give me a reason so that I can help clear up any misunderstandings,” he said.

What reason? Was it even necessary to say?

Sheng Xueqin glared at Lin Yize. Was he deliberately making things difficult for Huo Tingyang here, just to embarrass her, all for Mu Lan?

Heh… Mu Lan, that little bitch, really had some tricks up her sleeve, to have other men willing to go to such lengths for her even after she was married.

“You…”

“Mr. Pei and Mr. Lin are so thoughtful.”

Mu Lan, who had just returned from the restroom, approached wearing a black suit adorned with a white flower on her chest and a band on her arm bearing the character for “filial piety.” She seemingly ignored the presence of Sheng Xueqin and Huo Tingyang, merely greeting Pei Zhao and Lin Yize. After all, Jiancheng was still a client of TX, and they couldn't let outsiders see there was something amiss.

Xian Yaping couldn't believe Mu Lan had the audacity to disregard them like this, and her face turned white with anger.

“We're here to pay our respects to the old master, what right do you have to keep us out?”

Mu Lan looked at Xian Yaping with a blank expression.

“I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?”

“I… My son is the descendent personally acknowledged by the old master. Who do you think I am?”

Mu Lan glanced at Xian Yaping, then at Huo Tingyang.

“However, we are in charge of the funeral arrangements, and grandfather didn't leave any last words allowing you to come and pay your respects.”

“What do you mean by that? Could it be that you all want to keep the Huo Family fortune to yourselves?”

Xian Yaping was panicking. She couldn't believe the old master had really passed away just like that. She had previously inquired about Huo Qidong's intentions, and Huo Qidong had only casually mentioned that the old master had his plans and there was no emergency, so why the rush to divide the assets.

She had believed Huo Qidong, for over the years he had been generous to her and her son, but to her shock, the old master had passed away unexpectedly, and by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. Thus, her only choice was to cause a scene at the mortuary – even if it meant burning bridges, she had to fight desperately for her son to get what he deserved!

Mu Lan watched Xian Yaping, with her gaze soft and her figure still slender, yet compared to the past, she now carried an aura that momentarily gave the illusion of seeing Huo Tingxiao. Indeed, a couple's influence on each other was noticeable.

“The will was made by grandfather a long time ago, and no one knows its contents. Whether you have the right to know is still an unknown,” she said.

As these words were spoken, not just Xian Yaping, but Sheng Xueqin as well felt her heart sink.

She had hoped that Huo Tingyang could collaborate with her, seeing as her power within the Sheng Family was gradually being undermined, and outsiders still thought she was the once-glorious lady of the manor, but…

The problem was her overconfidence in the past, always assuming that no matter what happened, her position as the heir to the Sheng Family was secure.

But things had changed since the cruise ship incident.

She was on the verge of losing her grip on the Sheng Family, and if at this time Huo Tingyang also couldn't hold onto the Huo Family's resources, who else could she count on?

“Huo Tingyang is a member of the Huo Family after all. He's entitled to be at the funeral. Aren't you afraid others will…”

Mu Lan looked at Sheng Xueqin and interrupted calmly:
“Miss Sheng, this is a matter for the Huo Family. You are, at most, a fiancee, not yet qualified to give orders.

People have mouths to speak with, who can stop them? Right and wrong is a twisted path, but everyone has a scale in their heart.”

“The illegitimate child of a mistress dares to mourn for my father-in-law in the same way as my husband? What does he think he is?”

Word by word, each stabbing the heart, guests continued to arrive, overhearing Mu Lan's words and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

“Exactly, how shameless to make a scene at an occasion like this, what are they thinking?”

“Hey, isn't it all for the sake of the inheritance? What's face worth compared to money?”

“The miss from the Sheng Family is strange too, choosing an illegitimate child. Now look, she's sidelined, not even sure if she can enter.”

Sheng Xueqin's face turned from pale to flushed, but she dared not say anything that would lose face at this moment, as even her slightest move would be maliciously exaggerated. The old Master Sheng had already grown cold towards her, if anything else went wrong, she feared there'd be no room for maneuver.

So, even with fire churning inside her, she dared not retort a single word.

Xian Yaping and Huo Tingyang, the latter wholly consumed by the hurtful words of his beloved, wanted to retaliate but didn't know what to say, while Xian Yaping couldn't care less about losing face.

“Fine, since it's like this, let's have everyone judge.

My son was acknowledged by the old master himself before he passed away. Now that the old master is gone, we're not even allowed to attend the funeral.

You bunch of hypocritical cowards, you're just bullying us mother and son!

If you all have no shame, why should we give you face? Come, let everyone see the true colors of the Huo Family's daughter-in-law.

She's nothing but a bully depending on backing, acting high and mighty here!

It's truly 'out of sight, out of mind.' Right after the old master passed away, this is how you treat his acknowledged grandson. Father, if you have spirit in heaven, you must fight for us. These people are not taking you seriously.”

Originally, everyone was quietly enjoying the drama, but with Xian Yaping making a scene, people now had an excuse to come together openly and watch.

Mu Lan watched Xian Yaping coldly, with not a trace of panic or guilt on her face, nor was she surprised by such an incident.

As for Sheng Xueqin, being surrounded by onlookers made her feel like she was losing all dignity. And when she saw her cousin not far away in the mourning hall with an innocent look on her face, it just aggravated her resentment so much that she wished she could silence Xian Yaping and stop her wailing.

“Why did Grandfather acknowledge Huo Tingyang as a member of the Huo family? Do I need to spell out the reason for everyone here?”

Mu Lan spoke calmly, but it made Sheng Xueqin's hair stand on end.

Her eyes glared at Mu Lan like knives, clenching her teeth tightly, fearing she might recklessly reveal everything in front of everyone.

Although Mu Lan had not recalled the past few months' events, Huo Tingxiao had informed her of many major matters, including this one.

She didn't care about the Huo Family's so-called reputation; she only knew anyone who upset Huo Tingxiao upset her.

“What do you mean by that?!”

Sheng Xueqin panicked, fearing Mu Lan would ramble nonsense. If Mu Lan spilled out that incident, how could she face anyone?

“Literally what I said. If we're going to discuss justice, let's get everything clear. Let's explain the ins and outs, and let everyone judge, how about that?

Taking things out of context only tells part of the story. There's a cause for every effect. If you want fairness, then you must reveal the cause!”

Mu Lan cornered the three with her words; either keep quiet as if nothing happened or be stripped bare for all to see. The onlookers, hearing about hidden details, who wouldn't want to know the secrets of a grand household like this?

Everyone waited for the reveal as if they were just short of bringing out little stools and snacking on sunflower seeds.
