The most expensive gift on Pineapple Live was the Carnival, worth five thousand dollars. The gifts kept streaming in, and the benefactor continued for a full five minutes before reluctantly stopping. They requested a live duet with Nora Qiao.
Suspecting who was behind this, Nora didnt refuse. The livestream split the screen, revealing an elderly lady with silver hair, her face flushed with anger and her voice strong and resonant, "I had no idea the younger generation was so ill-mannered these days!"
The wealthy young men in the know were shocked. "Why is Mrs. Sheng of Harbor Citys Sheng Family here? And why is she showering gifts on Nora Qiao?!"
Harbor Citys high society was tiered, with them somewhere in the middle or lower class, while the Sheng Family was among the upper echelon. Fear was not faked.
Some in the group, with faces contorted in panic, tried to switch their accounts to private, but the elderly lady spoke again, "Its too late to delete now! Ive already had screenshots taken and will be speaking with your parents one by one. Speaking ill of Nora is deserving of a lesson!"
Bystanders enjoyed the drama. "So the world of the wealthy... is this thrilling!"
Numbers in the top right corner began to drop as troublemakers left; they couldnt afford to offend the Sheng Family! Even Shannon Qiao wouldnt dare if she were here.
Among Harbor Citys top-tier families, the Shengs were one of the few, and Mrs. Sheng, with her high moral standing, commanded respect. Even Jason Zhou would respectfully call her Grandma Sheng if he were present today.
Nora Qiao ended her broadcast early.
In a video call with Mrs. Sheng, the elderly woman looked at her with a mix of kindness and heartache. "Why didnt you tell grandma when you were bullied? If not for Chulie telling me, I wouldnt have known!"
"Although grandma is old, I have several capable grandsons! Do you consider grandma a stranger?"
Feigning anger, Mrs. Sheng continued, "I know youre capable, but relying on grandma isnt a bad thing, right? Girl, tell grandma, have you divorced that boy from the Zhou family?"
The鍦堝瓙 was small, and with Shannon Qiaos instigation, news of Nora Qiaos divorce from Jason Zhou spread quickly.
"Yes, it was yesterday."
Mrs. Sheng scrutinized Noras expression and, seeing no signs of sadness, let out a sigh of relief. "Its good that you left. Although Jason Zhou is upright, he still doesnt match up to our Nora."
Mrs. Sheng had a mediocre impression of Jason Zhou and had initially advised Nora to think twice. But she couldnt resist Noras affection and eventually let her have her way.
Two years must have been filled with grievances.
Mrs. Sheng felt deeply for Nora, "Come to visit grandma when you have time, and dont bear everything alone. This generation of the Qiao family is indeed blind; can an adopted daughter compare to their own flesh and blood?"
Mentioning this, Mrs. Shengs anger surged. She had half her body in the grave and had never seen a family treat an adopted daughter as a treasure.
They would regret it!
Nora agreed to everything the old lady said. Mrs. Sheng added, "Next week is grandmas 80th birthday. Nora, you must come."
The Sheng Family, being one of the top-tier families, would undoubtedly host a luxurious banquet for their matriarch, inviting Harbor Citys elite, including the Zhous.
Undoubtedly, the man Nora had cherished for seven years had exceptional qualities.
Jason Zhou was gifted in business. When the Zhou familys assets and status were average, he led them to new heights in just a few years.
Nora collected her thoughts, forcing herself to forget about Jason Zhou. They were divorced; why think of him?
Each appearance of Jason Zhou was a reminder of her absurd seven years.
Mrs. Shengs appearance in Nora Qiaos livestream quickly spread in the high society circles, with everyone in shock, especially the Qiao Family.
Shannon Qiao was furiously jealous. Who didnt know Mrs. Shengs status? Why would someone like her be associated with Nora Qiao? She was just a country girl raised in the mountains!
There must be some misunderstanding!
Shannon clenched her palm, her face twisted and cold.
"Yan Yan, mom is ready. Lets go to the hospital to see Mrs. Zhou."
Qiaos mother, dressed in a cheongsam with her hair neatly coiled, descended the stairs, dignified and elegant.
Shannon instantly put on a gentle expression, affectionately linking her arm with her mothers as they left the house. After some deliberation, she mentioned the incident involving Nora and Mrs. Sheng.
Qiaos mother frowned deeply, a fleeting glimpse of disgust in her eyes.
"Its just a trick she used to attract attention! Who is Mrs. Sheng? How could she possibly know her? If she really knew her, why hasnt she visited us even once?"
That made sense.
However, Shannon still felt uneasy.
Holding her hand, Qiaos mother gently patted it, her voice softening.
"Yan Yan, no matter what, you are our Qiaos daughter. Just because Nora is back doesnt mean we dont want you. Youve suffered abroad in the past two years."
Shannon shook her head in understanding, "No hardships, mom. I really consider her my sister. As long as she is well, I am willing to leave the Qiao family."
But in her heart, Shannon still harbored hatred.
She didnt understand why the Qiao family, despite their aversion to Nora, hadnt severed ties with her.
As long as Nora was in the Qiao family for a day, Shannons heart would remain unsettled.
She feared that one day the Qiaos might realize Noras worth and abandon her to make amends with Nora.
No!
She would never allow that to happen!

Before the Sheng Familys invitations were sent out, Wesley Wei had gathered evidence of Lin Jis crimes and posted them online.
Every word was an accusation against the Lin Family.
The Lin Family used their power to bribe officials to steal someone elses college admission spot and arrogantly killed the victim and destroyed the evidence.
The most outrageous part was that Larry Lin had even defiled the victims sister, leading to her severe depression.
The Lin Family became the target of public anger, their companys stocks plummeted, and they faced bankruptcy.
The internet was filled with curses.
Wesley was satisfied with the outcome, screenshotting and sending it to Nora Qiao, asking, "The brothers who celebrated your birthday with you that day want to have their fortunes read. Will you go live?"
