Sun Hongmei immediately took the opportunity to continue. “If the Chen Family doesn’t mind us, the Bei family does have a daughter who is more gentle, filial, and obedient than Bei Qingqing. I just don’t know what Madam’s opinion is.”
Li Yilan immediately realized Sun Hongmei’s intentions and interrupted, “I never knew that this child Qingqing actually had such a hard time in the Bei Family…”
Seeing Sun Hongmei like this, Li Yilan liked Bei Qingqing even more, and her heart ached a little.
Sun Hongmei was stunned for a moment. She had never expected Li Yilan to have such a reaction. She thought that perhaps she had not said it clearly enough.
“Madam, that’s why I still think that Qingqing isn’t good enough for Young Master Chen. We also feel bad about marrying such a daughter to the Chen Family,” Sun Hongmei said in a pretentious manner.
Li Yilan said coldly, “Whether she’s good enough or not, it’s not up to you to decide.”
Sun Hongmei awkwardly swallowed the words she was about to say.
Li Yilan picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly. She said indifferently, “There’s one thing I’m very curious about. According to what you said, Qingqing is your biological daughter. How could you bear to treat her like this?”
Sun Hongmei’s face flushed red as she tried to excuse herself. “That child Qingqing has been wild with her adoptive mother since she was young. She doesn’t behave like a well-bred lady at all. It’s my fault for not disciplining her.”
Li Yilan frowned and slammed the teacup on the table. Sun Hongmei was so scared that she did not dare to breathe. “I think Qingqing is very good. We won’t let her leave either. Ever since Qingqing married into our family, not only did Jiazhi wake up miraculously, but even the Chen Family’s business has become more prosperous. She is simply our family’s little lucky star.”
Sun Hongmei did not expect the Chen Family to pay so much attention to Bei Qingqing. Her face turned green.
“How about you! You don’t act like a mother at all! A woman like you doesn’t deserve to be Qingqing’s mother! From now on, you are not allowed to enter the Chen Family and disturb Qingqing!” After saying this, Li Yilan angrily put her handbag on her shoulder, turned around, and left. Sun Hongmei was left sitting there dumbfounded.
Sun Hongmei wanted to cry but had no tears. Li Yilan had just blacklisted her! If she was blacklisted by Li Yilan, she would be ostracized by the entire circle of noblewomen. Who would dare to bring associate themselves with her anymore?!
In her heart, Sun Hongmei cursed Bei Qingqing again.
In the Chen Family.
Today’s dinner was unusually rich. Bei Qingqing looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table in surprise. She could not think of any special occasion.
Just as she sat at the dining table, her mother-in-law ordered the servants to pass the delicious food to her. Bei Qingqing saw the way her mother-in-law was looking at her, and she was even more confused.
“Qingqing, how has Jiazhi treated you recently?” Li Yilan asked slowly.
Bei Qingqing paused. Other than wanting to kiss her all the time, everything else was pretty good.
“Pretty good,” Bei Qingqing said sweetly.
Li Yilan nodded. Looking at her daughter-in-law, her eyes were filled with heartache. How could such a good girl have such parents? As long as Bei Qingqing was in the Chen Family, she would definitely treat her like her own daughter.
“Qingqing, do you still have your pocket money?” Li Yilan asked with a heartache.
Bei Qingqing did not know what her mother-in-law meant by asking this, but she answered truthfully, “Auntie, I still have money.”
“You’re a girl, and a girl has to buy a lot of things. Do you think that 500,000 yuan a month will be enough for you?” Li Yilan’s tone was full of pity.
When Bei Qingqing heard this number, she was so startled that her hands trembled and her chopsticks fell.
