The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 364

Madam Hans was rendered speechless by Mango's question.

When she thought about it, she realized that Mango had never known about her true identity for years. Furthermore, Mango just found out that she was part of the Hans Family, so Madam Hans had hardly given Mango any love and affection at all.

Madam Hans's attitude softened for a moment.

"Oh Mango, I know that the previous years have been hard on you."

"I don't feel that way, and I even feel like I had better days when I lived with the Shen Family. At least my parents wouldn't accuse me blindly based on someone else's claims. You can favour and accept whoever you want as your granddaughter, it doesn't matter to me. I'm almost thirty years old, and my parents were there when I needed them most. Thus, I don't need the Hans Family at all. Madam Hans, not everyone thinks so highly of your family. In fact, I'm getting by just fine without you."

Mango immediately turned away after she said this.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had gotten off the car and witnessed the whole chain of events. Hence, there was a chill in his eyes.

"Madam Hans, why did you stand in front of my car?"

"Don't ask, I don't want to know either."

Honestly, Mango had no desire to find out the reason either.

Previously, she might still have had some lingering affection for the Hans Family, but it was completely gone now.

Of course Nathaniel knew how hurt Mango was, but he couldn't bear to witness his wife being pushed around like this.

"No, they're already here, so I need to ask them how my wife has offended the Hans Family? What has Mango done that requires Madam Hans to come here personally?"

Nathaniel's face was so cold that no one dared to look at him directly.

Terrance wanted to smooth things over initially, but he heard Nathaniel say, "Mr Hans, I'd suggest you refrain from speaking on your mother's behalf. If that happens, I'm afraid that we can no longer be friends."

Those words made Terrance shut up immediately.

Madam Hans had always been aware of Nathaniel's iron fist when it came to dealing with things, but she couldn't help but become irritated with Nathaniel's aggression.

"How can you speak to me like that?"

"Should I be polite to you? You would be my elder if you were Mango's grandmother, and I would treat you with respect in that case. But as far as I know, Mango hasn't been inducted into the Hans Family since she returned. Thus, how should I speak to you? To put it plainly, you're blocking the path to my door and you nearly hit my car. So do you think I should still watch my tone with you?"

Nathaniel did not mince his words, which caused Madam Hans to be a little embarrassed.

She looked at Mango's retreating back and muttered, "Mango, you're going to let your husband treat me like this?"

"Well, he's right. Please behave yourself, Madam Hans."

Then, Mango turned around after she forced her tears back.

There was nothing to be sad about, right?

She had obtained the antidote for the sake of both Madam Hans and Madam Ye, and the difference in the way both women treated her was apparent.

Since Madam Hans was more willing to believe the words of an outsider compared to hers, then what else could Mango expect?

The more expectations she held, the more disappointment she'd feel. Hence, Mango might as well draw the line now.

When Mango realised this, her entire demeanour had shifted.

Then, Terrance panicked as soon as he noticed that.

"Mango, my mother hasn't been in good spirits recently, so she might be a little muddled. Please don't take it to heart."

"Mr. Hans, we are all human, and my feelings can be hurt too. I can give my all to the Hans Family, but it's clear that all of you don't want it. If so, why should we maintain a facade of peace?"

The more Madam Hans listened, the more upset she got.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Mango?"

"Nothing really, I just think that perhaps the Hans Family's standards are too high for me. Unfortunately, I'm unable to meet them, nor do I want to. Hence, please do not involve me in your family matters anymore, I'm not interested at all."

Madam Hans completely understood what Mango meant, and that was precisely the reason that she became even more livid.

"You locked Andrea up for a day and threw her into the ocean to drown! Don't you feel any remorse for doing that? Andrea is a person! If you don't like her, just tell me and I'll ask someone to send her away. Why did you have to do that? You have children too, so how could you be so merciless towards your sister?"

However, Mango immediately barked out a laugh when the words left Madam Hans' lips.
