The old man's eyes were red with anger. It took him a long while before he spat out a single word, "Bastard!"
Xu Nuo nodded. "Yes, a bastard indeed."
Xu Wenhua roared, "That's your third grand-uncle! Even if you don't know him, you should respect him for his age."
Then, he continued, grief-stricken, "Your mother went too far. She took a perfectly good daughter of the Xu Family and raised you to be so ignorant of worldly matters.
Now that your father is here, I must correct this temperament of yours. Otherwise, who knows how much you'll suffer once you marry into your husband's family."
Someone in the crowd snickered. "So they're not just after her money, but her life too."
The Xu family was speechless. 'These people are so annoying. What business is it of theirs?'
A wave of desolation washed over Xu Nuo. 'So this is my real father.'
Just then, Sanhua, who was beside her, whispered a reminder, "Miss, I see Granny Lao. She's coming this way with the carriages."
