Chapter 112: Warmth and Coldness of Human Relationships

The Zhu family arrived at the Hua household with great fanfare, and soon there were movements from the other relatives and friends of the Hua family.

However, most of them sent their stewards to come, and finally, the long-awaited relatives from the Wu family came as well. It was Wu Zerui, the second brother who was not highly valued at home and had not entered the official career.

Seeing his sister's pale face, Wu Zerui sighed, "Father is very likely to advance further, and at this crucial moment, no one in the family dares to be careless. It's not that our parents don't care about you, Haitang. Don't blame them. If Father can advance further, he will be able to help you more, help your children more. Even if you really want to take the children back to your mother's home, it's not impossible."

"I won't go back."

"Sister..."

"I won't go back." Wu Shi raised her head, her eyes red but tearless. "Now, you can abandon the relationship with the Hua family because Father wants to advance further. In the future, you may also abandon me for various reasons. I am already a member of the Hua family. I understand all this, but Second Brother, you also need to understand me."

Wu Shi's voice was hoarse, "To put it bluntly, the Wu family sacrificed me, their daughter, for their own future prosperity. If they can sacrifice me once, they can sacrifice me again. I must have disappointed Mother so much for still hoping that my parents will really take me back."

"Sister, you're overthinking it. It's not that serious."

"Whether it is or not, we both know in our hearts. Second Brother, go back."

"Sister..."

"After all, you didn't plan to stay here to help me, right?"

Wu Zerui's face changed color, showing a mixture of embarrassment and guilt. His sister spoke frankly but not wrongly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come.

"Go back. Tell Mother that I also wish for the well-being of the mother's family. In the future, let's not keep in touch. The Hua family won't lack food and clothing for me. They will manage."

In the end, Wu Zerui didn't say much more, just bid farewell and left. He was just a messenger and couldn't make any decisions. But how could he not be heartbroken seeing his sister, whom he had loved since childhood, in such a situation.

It's just that, when it comes to interests, everything changes.

Wu Shi covered her mouth, crying uncontrollably. She understood everything, but who would care about her heartache?

Hua Zhi stood not far away, looking indifferent, and when there was still no movement from the Wu family, she had a faint idea in her heart. The one truly concerned about her daughter, like her grandmother, came early in the morning, wouldn't wait until now.

Indeed, a funeral made her see all the ups and downs of human emotions.

Perhaps, everyone thought that the Hua family was doomed.

"Miss, someone from the Song family has arrived."

Hua Zhi turned and walked away. She asked once she was far enough, "Who has come?"

Ba Xia gritted her teeth, "Only the young master from the Song family."

Hua Zhi paused for a moment and continued towards the mourning hall.

Hua Jing's eldest son, named Song Chenghao, aged eighteen, always wore a smile on his face when he saw anyone. He was very eloquent, once greatly favored by Old Lady Hua, but Hua Zhi always avoided him. This man clearly had a cold demeanor, and his smile never reached his eyes.
