按照约定的时间,沈明回到了苏家.
她怀着双胞胎的消息对她打击很大.她轻轻地把手放在自己的肚子上,心里感到一阵沉重.白天她还没时间思考这件事,但现在,当她平息思绪时,她想,也许,生孩子并不是一件坏事.难道荣兆南的助理是对的吗?这次怀孕会不会是她登上巅峰的门票,让她登上凤凰的地位?
她半喜半忧,走进了苏家,不知道等待她的是什么.令她惊讶的是,平时空荡荡的豪宅里挤满了人.她不需要管家介绍任何人——她都认识他们.
坐在主座上的是苏宁.她身后站着苏玉燕,正在打电话.当她看到沈明进来时,她甚至没有抬头看一眼.
副座上坐着苏宁的长子苏杰和他的家人.这对夫妇从来没有好过什么事,他们的长子,苏杰的叛逆继承人,一次又一次地惹麻烦,滥用苏家长孙的地位.
沈明进来时第一个点头打招呼的是苏尚锦,苏宁的小儿子,家族等级老行渐远.按照目前的时间线,他肯定是刚从国外留学回来的.他一直是苏玉燕的忠实粉丝.
房间的右侧,舒适地坐着苏宁的次子苏怡和他的妻子王曲丹.他们的儿子苏富凯,家里的第二个孙子,今天不在场.
全家人都聚集了,除了一个重要的人.
苏宁的养女,苏家唯一的女孩,顾枫——也被称为小公主——不在.但也许这是最好的结果.沈明不确定今天到底会发生什么.
"热明,过来,"苏宁喊道."我把大家都召集在这里宣布一些事情.热明是苏家的直系后裔,也是我的亲生女儿.DNA 测试证实了我们的血缘关系.从今天开始,她正式成为苏家的一员.
苏宁开口,然后转向管家."管家,请把雷明介绍给家里的其他人.今天的团聚,是大家见证她回归的机会.这个周末,我将为热明举办欢迎宴会,邀请所有的亲朋好友一起庆祝她的回归.
气氛几乎是仪式性的,仿佛这是一场盛大的活动.
苏家的女族长金云秀夫人拿着她的手帕,带着一丝怀疑打断了她."苏宁,你不觉得你太大惊小怪了吗?"毕竟,小凤今天都不在这里..."
很明显,她对这种情况并不激动,站在沈明身边的管家似乎希望她上前向人打招呼.
但沈明站着不动,手里紧紧地拎着手提包,眼神冷冷地瞥了一眼衣着华丽的金云秀夫人.她的目光遥远,冷漠.
金云秀夫人在沈明冰冷的目光下,感觉有些不舒服,仿佛刚刚暴露出来一样.
就在这时,另一个女人开口了.原来是王曲旦,苏怡的妻子,家里的二夫人."苏宁,我们理解你的感受.热明回来了是个好消息,没有人不高兴.但云秀只是因为小凤今天不在这里才问的.毕竟,她和她的大姨妈很亲近.
王曲丹还没说完,苏宁就插嘴了."关于顾风的事就够了.今天是关于热明的重逢.我们稍后再谈 Feng管家,请把雷明介绍给大家.
几位叔叔和家人很少说话.这并不稀奇,因为苏家一直都在苏宁的控制之下.她的亲生女儿热明的突然出现,让他们感到比什么都困惑.
The only one who couldn't seem to let it go was Mrs. Jin Yunxiu, who kept bringing up Gu Feng, the adopted daughter.
"Everyone's talking about a family reunion, but today, of all days, little Feng is absent. Yuyan, you should speak up too. After all, Feng is your sister."
Su Yuyan, who had been on the phone, finally looked up, only to meet Shen Ming's cold gaze.
Shen Ming pursed her lips, feeling a wave of complicated emotions. Everything was falling apart!
In this lifetime, she and Rong Zhaonan had already begun their relationship. That was something she could control. But now, she was pregnant with twins, and more shockingly, the Su family had acknowledged her as one of their own. In her previous life, it had taken a long time for her to be accepted into the Su family. And even then, she resented the Su family for their cruelty, especially Su Laozi and Su Ning's cold indifference.
But yesterday, when Su Ning saw her, she wasn't exactly thrilled. Shen Ming knew, deep down, that she wasn't Su Ning's biological daughter. But she had to play her part in this game.
Su Yuyan, now fully aware of Shen Ming's presence, finally spoke. "Housekeeper, why are you standing there? Introduce our Su family's new eldest daughter properly."
The housekeeper, about to take action, was stopped by Shen Ming, who brushed away his hand and turned to Su Ning.
"Enough with the pleasantries," Shen Ming said, her tone clear and unwavering. "I've heard about your adopted daughter, Su Ning. The saying goes, 'A mountain cannot hold two tigers.' If everyone's so protective of her, does it really matter whether I'm the Su family's eldest daughter or not? As long as Su Ning favors her over me, it's clear there's no need for this reunion. You're wasting everyone's time."
Su Ning frowned, clearly taken aback. "Re Ming, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Ming didn't hesitate, speaking bluntly. "I mean, until you resolve the issue with your adopted daughter, I don't think we need to continue this farce. I'm Shen Ming, and I will be the only legitimate eldest daughter of the Su family. Anyone who tries to take that from me is wasting their time."
She turned to leave, her steps firm and confident. "That's all I have to say. May I go rest now?"
The room fell into stunned silence. Shen Ming had made her stance clear—her position in the Su family was non-negotiable.
Mrs. Jin Yunxiu, breathing heavily, was clearly enraged.
On the other hand, Su Shangjin, the youngest of Su Yuyan's siblings, couldn't hold back his amusement. "So this is what the Su family's eldest daughter looks like?" he thought, his eyes wide. "She's fierce, just like Aunt Ning."
After Shen Ming left the room, everyone remained frozen. Then, Su Yi, Wang Qudan's husband, broke the silence, chuckling. "This isn't just a daughter; this is like bringing another Su Ning into the family. She's exactly like you, Su Ning."
But Su Ning merely pressed her lips together, her smile gone. She couldn't help but feel the weight of her daughter's words.
Just as the tension began to settle, the housekeeper came rushing in, delivering shocking news.
"Madam, Miss Feng is back."
