    When Shan Ling heard her father’s words, she was already nervous. She quickly exined, “Dad, this isn’t Han Xing’s fault.”


    “Enough!” Shan Qingyuan interrupted her in a deep voice. “1 can judge that on my own.”


    “Butler Zhang, pack Third Miss’s luggage. Your mother is already waiting for you in the main hall. Give her a diagnosis. You’re finally back today. Remember to visit the families in the Northern Province tomorrow, understand?”


    Shan Ling took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand.”


    Shan Qingyuan didn’t n to pursue Han Xing’s matter. The Shan family couldn’t afford to cause a scandal over a small matter.<div>

    Seeing Shan Qingyuan’s attitude, Shan Ling heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly brought In Xing to the main hall.


    In the main hall, a beautiful woman was already sitting. Time had not left any traces on her face. Her eyes were very simr to Shan Ling’s. She was Shan Ling’s mother, Meng Wan.


    Meng Wan’s expression changed slightly when she saw Shan Ling return with a strange man. She asked in a sharp voice, “What were you doing outside? Were you not nning toe back home at all?”


    Shan Ling shook her head and said patiently, “Mom, let me check your pulse first. Why didn’t anyone tell me that you were sick?”


    Meng Wan looked at her scornfully and said impatiently, “You still remember that you have me as your mother? I thought you were prepared to die outside!”


    These words were indeed unpleasant to hear. Shan Ling only silently endured her mother’s scolding and took her pulse without changing her expression. After a long while, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    “Mom, your old illness just rpsed. Just continue taking the medicine I prescribed you before. There’s no big problem.”


    “I don’t have any problems, but what about you?!”


    Meng Wan’s gaze was cold and sinister as if she wanted to see through her daughter’s thoughts.


    “How long are you going to stay this time? I heard that you even brought an outsider here to embarrass your brother!”


    When Shan Ling heard this, she could not help but say, “Mom, have you ever thought about me? Brother wanted to hit me in front of so many people. If it wasn’t for Han Xing, I would have been beaten to death by him today and no one would have known!”


    “Bastard!” Meng Wan roared furiously, her chest heaving up and down.


    “How can you say that about your brother? Isn’t your brother doing this for your own good?”


    “You’re really an ingrate. All these years of raising you have been in vain!”


    Han Xing frowned when he heard this. Although Shan Ling was a little impulsive, she was still a neen-year-old girl. These words were too much. No wonder Shan Ling did not want toe back at all.


    Shan Ling’s eyes were filled with tears. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, you can say whatever you want. I’ll leave immediately after the event.”


    “You should think about that carefully!”


    Meng Wan smiled coldly and said, “If you don’t fight, you won’t even get a share of the family’s assets.”


    Shan Ling didn’t want to say anything else. It was obvious that she had had enough. She closed the medicine box behind her.


    “Mom, you should take care of your body.”


    “Han Xing, let’s go. I’ll bring you to the guest room to rest.”


    After saying that, Shan Ling could not be bothered to listen to her mother to continue saying what she was saying. She dragged Han Xing to the back.


    When the two of them arrived at the guest room, Han Xing sat on the stool. Shan Ling obviously had no intention of leaving.


    Seeing her like this, Han Xingforted her patiently, “What’s wrong? Is it because of what happened today?”


    Shan Ling sighed heavily, “I’ve lived like this for more than ten years. I’m used to it. 1 thought they would change, but I only found out after I came back. Everything is futile.”


    “It’s okay. If you really don’t want to stay here for a few days. We’ll leave together after the event.”


    Shan Ling nodded and smiled. She said, “Oh right, these few days, all the people from the various families will being over for the event. These people are proud and arrogant, so there’s no need to pay too much attention to them.”


    At night, the Shan family specially prepared a family banquet for Shan Ling. They said that it was to wee her. Shan Ling naturally did not believe their words and insisted on bringing Han Xing along.


    This made Shan Wei, who was sitting at the table, so angry that his face turned green. Shan Ling was so insensible. Could it be that she wanted to sit on his head?


    Shan Ling’s second sister, Shan Shu, was also there. When Shan Shu saw Shan Ling bring a handsome man over, her expression turned a little ugly.


    “You’re too insensible. Is this kind of family banquet something outsiders can attend? Even if there’s something between the two of you, you shouldn’t show him in public at this time.”


    Meng Wan was not feeling well and said that she was resting. Naturally, she did not attend the family banquet. Shan Qingyuan even said that he had to go to work. If he had the time, he would waste it on this banquet.


    The only ones hosting the event were her big brother Shan Wei and a few branch family descendants. They originally wanted to toast Shan Ling and say some celebratory words. However, when they saw Shan Wei and Shan Shu’s attitude, they did not dare to make a sound.


    If they wanted to gain some benefits from the main family, the key was to curry favor with the older siblings, Shan Wei and Shan Shu. At this moment, they were actively thinking about how to act.


    One of the younger ones looked at Shan Ling and said, “Sis, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but what do the other families think of our family now?”


    “You’re insensible. You’ve implicated the entire family and are beingughed at.”


    The others also agreed with her. The children of aristocratic families like them had received elite education since they were young. However, when Shan Ling was 18 years old, she resolutely refused the school that her family had arranged for her.


    Why did she have to go and study medicine? She even rejected the marriage arranged by her family.


    Everyone in the Northern Province knew that there was such a weirdo in the Shan family.


    When Shan Shu heard the words of these people at home, the expression on her face was also a little meaningful. She had followed her family’s arrangements to get married when she was 20 years old. In the end, her husband’s family did not treat her very well. They had been married for four years and still did not have a child.


    She married a famous rascal in the Northern Province. He sought women outside and never came back home. She had suffered so much in the Shen family. However, she endured all of them for the glory of her family.


    Why was Shan Ling not doing what she did? Shan Ling had to suffer the pain she had suffered! Otherwise, the world would be too unfair.


    At the thought of this, her voice turned cold. Shemented, “I think you should listen to your family’s arrangements and get married early.”


    “How can your medical skillspare to any family in the Northern Province? What’s the use of fiddling with that?”


    Shan Ling had been listening to their conversation and did not have the slightest intention of responding. She just silently ate the dishes on the table. It was obvious that she did not take them seriously.


    This stubborn look made Shan Wei furious.. He shouted, “Didn’t you hear your older sister talking to you?”</font>
