Chapter 72: Telling the Public That Bei Qingqing Was the Adopted Daughter
Bei Qingqing slowly got up and tidied up for a while before she slowly went downstairs.
Sun Hongmei, who was downstairs, was already getting impatient from waiting. She felt that Bei Qingqing was deliberately making them wait, deliberately putting on the airs of a rich lady.
“This is too much. We are clearly her biological parents, but she didn’t invite us to such an important occasion. We have already come to greet her, but she didn’t even come down to welcome us. How rude!” Sun Hongmei complained.
However, Bei Bei had already noticed that Bei Qingqing had come downstairs, so she quickly stopped Sun Hongmei, signaling her to stop talking.
“What’s the matter?” Bei Qingqing asked calmly.
Although Sun Hongmei was unhappy, she still obediently shut her mouth. She suppressed her anger and put on a smiling face.
“Qingqing, mom and dad are here today mainly because they have something to discuss with you. Look, you’ve been back for so long, and we haven’t announced your identity to the public yet. So mom and dad also want to hold a banquet for you, to announce your identity to the public. What do you think?”
When Bei Qingqing heard this, she immediately understood what they were trying to do.
Without the support of the Chen Family, the Bei Family would not be able to survive. Now that the Chen Family had announced her identity, the Bei Family wanted to take advantage of the popularity to publicize her relationship with the Bei Family, so as to give face to the Bei Family’s elders.
Bei Qingqing felt speechless. The Fei family’s plan was pretty good. They knew that they had to take advantage of the popularity. However, she was a little unhappy. After all, she was once again treated as a chess piece by the Bei Family. Bei Qingqing did not understand. She was her biological child, but why did this family only think of her when she was useful to them?
Bei Qingqing wanted to laugh, so she asked, “Then how do you plan to announce it to the public? What kind of identity are you going to give me?”
Bei Yunsong did not think too much about it and said, “Of course, we’re going to announce you as our daughter.”
Bei Qingqing sneered and asked, “Is it the identity of an elder daughter or a younger daughter? Or is it the identity of an adopted daughter? Since it’s going to be announced, I still have the right to know, right?”
After this question was asked, the Bei Family’s faces instantly turned ugly.
This was because they had already discussed and decided to announce to the public that Bei Qingqing was an adopted daughter. After all, although the Bei Family was not considered a prestigious family, they still had a certain degree of reputation in this city. Everyone knew that the Bei Family only had one daughter, so it was impossible to say that she was the biological daughter.
They could only announce to the public that they had an adopted daughter, but this adopted daughter was Bei Qingqing, and not Bei Bei.
After all, they had to protect Bei Bei’s reputation.
“Of course, it’s an adopted daughter. After all, you know that sister is still young and hasn’t married yet. Naturally, we have to protect her reputation,” Sun Hongmei said.
In her eyes, she should be glad that they were announcing her as a daughter of the Bei Family.
When Bei Qingqing heard this, her heart sank.
Although when she asked this question, she had already expected this answer. However, when these words came out of their mouths, Bei Qingqing was still a little disappointed.
She used to think that no matter what, she was their biological daughter, and they should at least display a trace of affection no matter what. However, she did not expect this family to be so resolute.
