CHAPTER 805: CHAPTER 805: THE WHITE FLOWER SNAKE THAT COMMANDS A HUNDRED RESPONSES (PART 8)
I never expected that what I heard before was true. Their father did not receive all of their mother’s inheritance.
The car drove to a place, and Xiao Shulan saw it was the Chen Family.
After a moment of reflection, she seemed to understand somewhat.
So many people in the company, trying to please Chen Jiaming—this was the reason, including her father-in-law and husband, only she was kept in the dark.
In the Chen Family, Chen Jiaming was not there, and Mrs. Chen had been staying alone at home for years.
A very low-key lady.
Not many people truly knew her well.
Xiao Shulan recalled that the times she interacted with Mrs. Chen seemed to be no more than three, she couldn’t remember what words were spoken.
But she was not afraid. She was the biological daughter of her mother, Ruan Ruzhen. She had the right to know about her mother’s inheritance.
The Chen Family knew she had come and couldn’t shut the door in refusal; they opened the door for her.
Xiao Shulan walked all the way inside, into the living room, and saw Mrs. Chen trimming the flower arrangements.
Indeed, a woman of cultivation and refinement.
Xiao Shulan raised an eyebrow, walked over to Mrs. Chen, and called, "Aunt Chen."
Mrs. Chen heard her voice and only then lifted her head from the flower arrangements. After seeing her, her expression was indifferent as she said, "Have a seat. Is there something you need?"
Previously, Xiao Shulan had never proactively come here as a guest.
Xiao Shulan felt somewhat awkward sitting here insincerely, and remembering Xiao Jianming’s instructions, she spoke directly, "I heard Aunt knows who my mother’s house is now given to."
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen’s face appeared full of confusion, unable to comprehend what she was saying.
Xiao Shulan’s expression tightened, her tone became harsh, "Aunt, there’s no need to hide it anymore, we all know. Quickly hand over that person—Do you want to see my mother’s house, my mother’s assets fall into someone else’s hands? As my mother’s daughter, I absolutely won’t allow it, won’t agree! If Aunt doesn’t make a statement today, don’t blame us for taking Aunt to court and confronting you legally!"
Facing such aggressive questioning, Mrs. Chen said calmly, "If you want to call the police, just do so. I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Indeed, your company has had some problems, but you can’t randomly vent your anger on other people, can you?"
Xiao Shulan maintained her stern appearance; previously unaware, now after contact, she suddenly realized that this low-profile woman, seemingly as invisible as air, was a tough nut to crack; probably no one could crack her.
Words do no good now, Xiao Shulan’s eyes began to search through the Chen Family’s house for any clues.
Her little action, however, was irritating to Mrs. Chen.
"If there’s nothing else, you should leave," Mrs. Chen said abruptly, suggesting she depart. Forced to leave, Xiao Shulan said as she exited, "The property belonging to our Xiao Family is ours; no one can take it!"
Mrs. Chen’s cold eyes followed her departing back, and once she was gone, her lips finally let slip a word, "Surname Xiao, not surname Ruan—"
Upon learning Xiao Shulan went out on business, Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shuzhu were also secretly wondering if something had happened that they were unaware of.
Xiao Shuzhu suddenly exclaimed.
Xiao Shuju asked, "What’s wrong?"
"I think—" Xiao Shuzhu was startled by her own idea but quickly became more confident in her thought, saying, "Our sister-in-law will acquire Changda."
