She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1059: Raised a White-Eyed Wolf

"Did something happen?" Sheng Ning asked expectantly.

"Yes!" Xu Qigang glanced at Sheng Ning and smiled slightly. He knew in his heart that his little wife must have already figured it out; she was really smart.

"What happened? What happened?" An’an asked excitedly.

This kind of scandal was not something Xu Qigang liked to discuss in front of children, so he skillfully brushed over it.

In the circle of these red noble families, there were no secrets. Everyone was professional, and many were reconnoitre, gathering intelligence. Even though President Zhu tried to conceal it, the news still spread like wildfire.

Some people were gloating, some expressed sympathy, and others just watched for amusement.

When the news reached Hai Shuangjie, he was in Hai Yunfeng’s office. He had come to discuss with his brother how to handle the situation.

The Hai Family’s face could not be lost.

The brothers rarely had time to gather together, and Hai Yunfeng had taken leave to look for his daughter without success, leaving him in a poor mood these days. He took the chance to comfort him.

"Shuangjie, I have to say, Lanlan’s recent behavior has been really disappointing." At times, Hai Yunfeng would turn a blind eye. His younger brother had no children, so it was normal to treat his adopted daughter well.

But excessive indulgence became unacceptable.

"I know," Hai Shuangjie sighed. "I’ve cared for her all these years; even if she’s not my birth daughter, I’ve raised her as my own. How many parents can truly harden their hearts against their children?"

Hai Yunfeng thought of his Bao’er and felt a deep connection. "You’re right, but no matter how much you care, you can’t always indulge them. She needs to learn that when things get out of hand, no one will clean up her mess."

"Okay, big brother, I’ll listen to you."

Their relationship had always been good, and Hai Shuangjie was willing to listen to his brother. They both understood that if siblings did not unite, they would only become a laughingstock for others.

"Minister." The confidential secretary rushed in, and seeing Hai Shuangjie there, his face became a chaotic palette of colors.

It was an unsightly mix.

"What happened?" Hai Yunfeng frowned, glancing at the secretary and then at his brother, guessing most of the situation in his mind.

"Hai Lan and Zhou Yuan have been detained by the labor union."

"Why?"

"The reason is possession of firearms and intentional framing."

"So..." Hai Yunfeng asked calmly.

But Hai Shuangjie could not remain seated and was about to stand up when his older brother’s stern look forced him to sit back down.

"So this matter really has nothing to do with Sheng An. The weapon was given to Zhou Yuan by Shao Yiping, and Zhou Yuan, worried about her daughter in the Border Defense Group, passed it on to Hai Lan."

"So Hai Lan deliberately placed it on Sheng An?"

"That’s right."

Hai Yunfeng looked at Hai Shuangjie, saying with frustration, "Do you see? Your supposedly well-raised daughter is incredibly audacious. With the mess she’s caused this time, I’d like to see how you clean it up."

The confidential secretary cast a sympathetic glance at Hai Shuangjie, internally estimating that if Chairman Hai knew, there’d be no need to clean up any mess.

It would be better to be rid of Zhou Yuan!

The adopted daughter was not easy to handle; had she not confessed, would she have made the Hai Family a mockery?

This wasn’t raising a daughter, this was clearly raising an ingrate.

Hai Yunfeng knew his secretary well; sometimes, just a look was enough to understand his thoughts. That sympathetic glance just now left him with a bad feeling.
