She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1099: Han Xiaoqiu Arrives

Han Xiaoqiu is almost fifty years old this year. Although the corners of her eyes have fine crow’s feet, she has maintained herself well and still looks charming.

"Strange, why is no one coming to pick us up?" Han Xiaoqiu’s legs were sore from standing, and she still hadn’t waited for the car to arrive. She has been away for over ten years, and everything here has become unfamiliar. If no one comes to pick her up, it’ll be quite embarrassing.

"Sister Han, I don’t think anyone will come."

"Indeed!" Han Xiaoqiu sighed, a cold smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Then let’s find a ride ourselves!"

"Where should we stay?"

"At the guest house. We have the introduction letter, so staying there should be fine." The Hai Family didn’t send anyone to meet her; their attitude is evident. After all, without blood ties, it’s not the same as being born into the family.

Back when her father died in the war, the old man had promised her that he would take care of her for the rest of her life without worry. But now? How their daughter was ruined and ended up imprisoned, yet the Hai Family didn’t even utter a word.

Absolutely heartless and disloyal.

Han Xiaoqiu’s eyes carried a venomous look; just as she had managed to take down Shen Xinwen back then, she now had ways to avenge her daughter and herself.

After settling the luggage, Han Xiaoqiu took the gifts directly to the General Union Courtyard, initially expecting to see the old man but found only Hai Shen at home. The prepared tale of grievances had no chance to be shared, leaving her quite frustrated.

"Aunt Han."

Hai Shen’s greeting irritated her to no end, clearly indicating that their family had nothing to do with her anymore. Calling her aunt but prefacing it with ’Han’.

"Hai Shen, take me to the union! I’m not sure if Huwen is suffering inside."

"Alright! Please follow me!" Hai Shen was home on the old man’s orders to wait for Han Xiaoqiu.

This matter left the old man completely disheartened. After all, she was a foster daughter married off many years ago, and he had fulfilled his obligations. The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and whatever happens next, don’t look for him.

He’s certainly not going to intervene.

After leaving the General Union Courtyard, Han Xiaoqiu tried to pry some information from Hai Shen along the way but found this young man to be quite clever, unable to get anything useful out of him.

She ended up being rebutted with a remark.

"Aunt Han, I heard you had a good relationship with my aunt before. How come you haven’t visited her gravesite?"

No matter how deep her scheming was, Han Xiaoqiu almost lost her composure. Her relationship with Zhou Yuan was definitely not good! Her daughter’s misfortune this time was certainly Zhou Yuan’s deliberate revenge.

"Hai Shen, do you believe Huwen is innocent?" Han Xiaoqiu asked with a kindly demeanor.

Hai Shen drove with unwavering focus, "Regardless of whether Huwen is innocent, she can’t escape responsibility. Zhou Yuan is dead, Shao Yiping is dead, there’s no evidence, whether it’s her or not, it’s still her."

In other words, your daughter can’t avoid this prison calamity. The Hai Family will absolutely not come forward to rescue her.

Han Xiaoqiu’s expression remained unchanged, but inside she was furious. Before setting off, her husband had already analyzed the situation clearly. Without the Hai Family stepping in, Huwen would surely not get out. This trip relied on her skills, she had placed all her hopes on the Hai Family.

Yet upon meeting, they poured cold water over everything.

The old man who used to be the best to her refused to see her, so she could only turn to Brother Yun Feng, who grew up with her as childhood sweethearts.
