The Pang’s heard the discussions around them and their faces turned sour. No one had expected such a thing to happen. Moreover, it had something to do with their adopted daughter. Grandma Pang’s expression turned even uglier as she turned around and slapped Pang Lili’s father.
“This is all your fault, you brainless piece of trash! You unfilial son!”
Pang Lili’s father did not expect to be hit so suddenly. He was caught off guard and his face instantly swelled up. He covered his face in grievance. He was very puzzled. The matter had not even been investigated, how could his mother hit him? Moreover, what had the matter got to do with him? Pang Lili’s father said aggrievedly,
“Mom, there are so many people here, and I’m a grown man. How can you slap me?”
Pang Lili’s father looked at the people around him and felt even more wronged. After all, many guests here tonight were their company’s business partners. No matter what, he was still the heir of the Pang family and he deserved to be given some face. Grandma Pang couldn’t care less as she looked at Pang Lili’s father and scolded,
“You still want face? It’s all because of you, you brain-damaged piece of trash. You insisted on keeping that scourge, Pang Nana. Otherwise, how could today’s matter happen!”
When Pang Lili’s father heard this, he knew that his mother was right. The chandelier wouldn’t fall for no reason. And only his adopted daughter would hope that something bad would happen to Pang Lili, so Pang Nana was the biggest suspect. Knowing that he was in the wrong, Pang Lili’s father dared not argue further, lowered his head and whispered guiltily,
“Mom, I know I’m wrong. I’m sorry, for causing this…”
Before he could finish, Pang Lili’s mother interrupted him unhappily. There were so many people here, and the old lady did not give them any face. How could they face the world in future? They would be laughed at wherever they went. Pang Lili’s mother looked displeased and said loudly to her husband,
“Shut up. Why are you apologizing? What are you apologizing for?”
Pang Lili’s mother then turned to look at Grandma Pang. When she first married Pang Lili’s father, she was still a filial daughter-in-law. However, ever since Grandma Pang insisted on bringing Pang Lili home, the two of them had been at loggerheads. Pang Lili’s mother was even more unhappy now. She said flatly,
“Mom, we don’t know anything now. How could you be so sure that my Nana did it? This is slander. Aren’t you being unfair?”
Grandma Pang became even angrier when she heard this. Their daughter-in-law was complete moron. No, she’s an idiot. She was still protecting her damn adopted daughter now? Just as Grandma Pang was about to speak, Su Jin interrupted,
“Whether or not we are framing Pang Nana, can’t we just find her and ask her directly?”
When Old Master Pang heard this, he agreed with Su Jin. Pang Lili being hurt or not aside, if Su Jin was hurt, Xi Chenxiao would definitely fly into a rage. If that happened, they would definitely investigate thoroughly. Once they found out that it was really the adopted daughter’s doing, things would go really bad. The entire Pang family would suffer. Old Master Pang looked at Su Jin admiringly and asked,
“How are you going to interrogate her?”
When Su Jin heard this, she knew that Old Master Pang was probably upset now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have supported Su Jin’s interrogation of Pang Nana. On second thought, he’s supportive most likely because of Xi Chenxiao. After all, the Xi family was above the Pang family. If Xi Chenxiao was angry, the Pang family would not be able to handle it. Su Jin looked at Pang Lili’s mother and said,
“Didn’t Auntie say that Pang Nana went to the bathroom just now? We’ll just wait until she comes out. No one from the Pang family speak, please. Let me ask her where she went!”
When Pang Lili’s mother heard this, her face instantly turned pale. She also guessed that this was Pang Nana’s doing but no matter what, Pang Nana was the daughter who had been by her side for so many years. How could she bear having her interrogated like that? Pang Lili’s mother looked at Su Jin sheepishly but pretended to be calm as she said,
“Don’t talk nonsense. Our Nana has always been a gentle and kind child! She won’t even hurt an ant. Why would she want to harm you?”
