Chapter 145

The existence of Ma Menghan has always been a taboo for the Ma Family. She is a family member whom everyone knows about, but no one acknowledges.

Even her biological father, Ma Yiren, felt guilty after learning of Ma Menghan's mother's death and wanted to compensate this illegitimate daughter through financial support.

He himself did not dare to come forward, instead hinting for Ma Zijun to do it.

Ma Zijun held no malice toward Ma Menghan, his half-sister. He despised his father's act of betraying his mother, but he believed Ma Menghan was innocent; she should not have to bear the faults of the older generation.

Therefore, Ma Zijun was very calm and open when facing Ma Menghan, treating her like his own sister, and even at home, he never avoided the topic of Ma Menghan.

But there is only one Ma Zijun in the entire Ma Family, yet there are many who do not wish for Ma Menghan to exist.

Among them, Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai are the representatives.

Needless to say, for Huang Zhu, Ma Menghan is her husband's illegitimate daughter and a disgrace to her marriage, so she naturally hates her.

And Ma Ziai's motives are also very simple, just like Ma Zicheng before: it is for the family property!

Thus, both were startled when they saw Ma Menghan; they never imagined they would see the person they least wanted to see in the Ma Family!

"Why are you here?!"

Huang Zhu's expression turned gloomy in an instant, and she questioned her very rudely.

Ma Menghan's body trembled, and she jumped up with a start. Her eyes darted away as she looked at Huang Zhu, and she said timidly, "I... I came..."

"I don't care why you came; you are not welcome here, leave at once!"

Huang Zhu interrupted Ma Menghan and directly ordered her to leave. She did not want to look at Ma Menghan for even a second longer!

Ma Menghan bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

"Stop acting pitiful here! You don't belong here. Letting you leave now is for your own good; don't bring shame upon yourself!"

Ma Ziai spoke in an unkind tone.

Seeing this, Lin Su immediately stood up and explained, "Madam, Miss, Miss Ma came back with the eldest young master to visit the master."

"He really is his father's good son!"

Huang Zhu let out a cold snort, her face turning pale with anger, and she glared fiercely into the room. "He must think his father is dying and wants to let his father see this cheap daughter before he passes!"

"Madam, please don't say that; the master will be fine."

Lin Su said, trembling with fear.

"Shut up! It's not your place to speak!"

Ma Ziai shouted angrily.

Lin Su wanted to say more, but seeing that both Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai looked fierce and menacing, she had no choice but to remain silent.

"You should leave quickly; Uncle will not see you."

Ma Ziai said with biting sarcasm, "You should also know that Uncle is on a political career path, and your existence is the stain of his life.

People from the court have been coming to visit him these past two days. If they find out about your existence, even if Uncle dies, he will die in humiliation. Do you want him to be unable to close his eyes even in death?"

Boom!

Ma Menghan's body shook as if struck by lightning. She bit her lip hard until her red lips turned pale and then red again, tasting a hint of bitter, bloody flavor.

Finally, the emotions she had been suppressing since entering the door erupted completely at this moment, and bean-sized tears fell like a torrential rain.

"The man isn't dead yet, and you've run here to hold a funeral?!"

Huang Zhu stepped forward, hands on her hips, her presence overbearing as she roared, "Get out!"

Ma Menghan's body swayed again, unable to catch her breath under Huang Zhu's aggressive pressure, and she was about to fall backward.

A large, warm hand wrapped around her waist at this moment, letting her lean against him.

Ma Menghan looked up at Chen Che with teary eyes. For some reason, while a sense of security rose in her heart, her grievance grew even stronger, like a child who sees an adult after being bullied!

Her tears gushed out like a broken levee, yet she kept biting her lip to keep from crying out loud.

Seeing Chen Che holding Ma Menghan, Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai finally noticed him.

The two squinted as they sized Chen Che up and asked, "Who are you?"

"He is Chen Che, Mr. Chen, invited by the eldest young master to treat the master."

Lin Su knew that Ma Menghan and Chen Che were on good terms and feared that Huang Zhu would vent her anger on Chen Che, thereby displeasing him, so she spoke up immediately.

Treating him?

Hearing Lin Su say this, Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai became suspicious instead, and since Chen Che and Ma Menghan were acting intimately, it was clear their relationship was not simple!

"Cousin found such a greenhorn to treat Uncle? Who are you trying to fool?!"

Ma Ziai looked fierce and yelled, "I get it now! You must be this bastard's lover! Knowing she is my uncle's illegitimate daughter, you're thinking of coming to the Ma Family to swindle some money!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhu's eyes also turned vigilant, and she said, "Young man, learn to be good while you're still young! Don't refuse to learn what's good and insist on learning what's bad, becoming as shameless and brazen as this little slut!"

"Madam, Miss, Mr. Chen Che was truly invited by the eldest young master to treat the master. He is the junior fellow apprentice of the Divine Doctor Li Qingyan. I am not lying, and I wouldn't dare deceive you!"

Seeing that Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai were starting to target Chen Che, Lin Su became truly anxious and hurriedly explained.

However, Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai did not believe her at all.

"Shut your mouth!"

Ma Ziai glared at Lin Su. "You are the person by my cousin's side. In the entire Ma Family, who doesn't know you are only loyal to him? Of course you would dare to lie to us for his sake!"

"But my cousin is something else, too. Why must he bring this jinx back? One jinx isn't enough, so he sends a shameless freeloader too!"

Ma Ziai cast a sidelong glance at Chen Che and Ma Menghan.

"Hmph!"

Chen Che let out a cold snort and mocked, "The Ma Family's way of treating guests is truly unique; it is quite admirable!"

"What did you say, pretty boy?!"

Ma Ziai furrowed her brows and glared at Chen Che.

"I originally did not want to involve myself in your Ma Family's private affairs, but you have gone too far, and I am forced to say a few words."

Chen Che held Ma Menghan, watching Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai with cold eyes.

Chapter 145: You Will Definitely Regret It

"What do you want to say?" Huang Zhu revealed a sneer of disdain.

"It is wrong for your man to betray you, but Ma Menghan is not at fault. Who wants to be born illegitimate? She is a victim and should not have to pay for the mistakes of the older generation."

Chen Che raised an eyebrow and revealed a wicked smile, "And this noble lady, you should think carefully about why your man would go looking for other women when he already has you. Could it be that you don't know how to be a woman and cannot serve your own man?"

"Bullshit! My technique is excellent!"

Huang Zhu blurted this out in a fit of rage, and only after she finished speaking did she realize what she had said; her face instantly turned as black as a pot lid, and she roared:

"You little brat, how dare you play me for a fool!"

Chen Che wore a look that was not quite a smile, then looked at Zi Ai and said in a sarcastic, mocking tone, "I had assumed a young lady from a prestigious family like the Ma Family would be well-read and sensible, but I didn't expect her to have the makings of a shrew at such a young age."

Zi Ai's eyes widened in utter astonishment; she had not expected Chen Che to dare speak to her like that, and she was so angry she was like a boiling kettle, just one step away from screaming!

However, Chen Che's verbal assault did not stop, and he continued to output, "I am very curious. Since Ma Zijun is so gentle, virtuous, and frugal, why do all his family members have such hideous, foul faces? They are either extremely stupid or selfish and arrogant."

Hum!!!!

This time, the kettle had completely boiled over!

"You bastard! What kind of thing are you to dare lecture us in the Ma Family?!"

Zi Ai's face was livid with extreme rage; she had been pampered and spoiled since she was a child, so when had she ever been lectured like this!

Huang Zhu was also so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, and she roared, "Get out, all of you get out! I don't care who brought you in; if you dare step half a foot into the Ma Family again, I will have someone break your dog legs!"

"Do you think anyone cares for this place? And remember one thing: it is not that I wanted to come, but that Ma Zijun invited me."

Chen Che sneered, "We will leave now, but you will definitely regret it. When you come to invite me back later, it won't be so easy."

"If I ever invite you back, I'll take your surname!"

Zi Ai stood with her hands on her hips and said furiously.

"Very well, Miss Ma, remember those words; you won't have to wait long."

After Chen Che finished speaking, he put his arm around Ma Menghan and left.

Seeing this, Lin Su was burning with anxiety, yet she did not know what to do for the moment.

At this time, Ma Zijun and Ma Zicheng accompanied Xie Jinchen and Liu Tianhua as they retreated from Ma Yiren's room.

Huang Zhu, Zi Ai, and Lin Su immediately went up to meet them.
