Chapter 344

Sheng Man glanced at the receding scenery outside the window and found that the car was actually heading in the direction of her former mansion.

Perhaps it became a habitual routine, but even the people around her still subconsciously thought of Sheng Man as the Bai Fumei who lived in a luxurious mansion.

Sheng Man spoke immediately, but because she hadn’t spoken for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse.

“Go to my mother’s place.”

The car turned its head and drove in the direction of Sheng’s mansion. When Sheng Man said the word ‘mother’ just now, everyone in the car was stunned.

They invariably thought of the fact that Sheng Man was only Nie Jiqing’s adopted daughter. Judging from Nie Jiqing’s demeanour, she might not consider Sheng Man as a daughter now.

The car drove fast and soon arrived at the Sheng mansion. Sheng Man did not let Sister Huo and the others follow her as she entered the Sheng mansion alone.

When Sheng Man arrived, Nie Jiqing and Sheng Yu were not at home, but she knew exactly where they were. After the press conference, they would probably be busy answering questions from reporters.

No matter how angry Sheng Man might be, she must stay here and wait for them.

Sheng Man sat on the sofa in the living room as she appeared less domineering than usual— she could only restrain her temper when she was with the Sheng family.

“Zhao Ma, can you give me a glass of warm water?”

Zhao Ma knew about some of the internal information and no longer bore any good feelings towards Sheng Man anymore. She knew that since the Mrs. chose to take action against Sheng Man, she would definitely have something to do with Sheng Luo’s abduction back then.

Zhao Ma didn’t answer her as she turned around and went to the kitchen. She got a glass of warm water and placed it in front of Sheng Man before ignoring her presence entirely as she went back into the kitchen.

Sheng Man didn’t dare to speak out, so she could only sit on the sofa obediently.

Sheng Man didn’t know how long she waited, but when Nie Jiqing finally came home, she stood up immediately. Then, she forced a smile and called out.

“Mom.”

A trace of disgust flashed across Nie Jiqing’s eyes, but she quickly hid the distasteful expression and replied in a cold yet light tone, “Is something wrong?”

When she was in the car, Sheng Man already thought about the myriad of questions that she wanted to ask in person. However, now that she was in a tough situation, she didn’t dare to ask most of them.

Sheng Man hesitated for a while before opening her mouth, “Mom, why did you address the matter publicly at the press conference today?”

Nie Jiqing could only despise the fact that she had blindly showered her undying love for Sheng Luo onto Sheng Man all this time. She didn’t care about Sheng Man’s careful ingratiation and walked past her directly, preparing to return to her room.

Sheng Man immediately stopped Nie Jiqing, “Mom!”

Only then did Nie Jiqing turn her head and glance at her plainly, “Was there anything wrong with what I said at the press conference?”

“I’m completely and utterly disappointed with both you and your father. What’s wrong with me revoking the things that never belonged to you?”

After she finished speaking, Nie Jiqing ignored Sheng Man’s reaction and directly demanded her exile.

“I’m going to rest, so you can leave now.”

It was not the first time that Sheng Man had endured Nie Jiqing’s indifferent attitude towards her, but this time, it made her feel oddly frightened.

If Nie Jiqing was just heartbroken by the wrongdoings of her father and brother, then she still had a chance to please Nie Jiqing.

So what am I afraid of? Will things get any worse than this?
