Why?
When a person stopped paying attention to himself and pretended to be someone else, he had already lost.
As for Lin Wanli, she was wearing a printed winter cheongsam today. She used a red sandalwood hairpin to tie her long hair. She looked graceful and agile, like a Jiangnan woman who walked out of the misty rain alley. Moreover, her temperament was extraordinary and generous, complementing the landscape of the Deer Pavilion Courtyard.
Most importantly, she held her head high and puffed out her chest. She was confident and elegant.
As for Mu Qingya, although she was the Little Miss of a rich family and had her pride, most of the time, she was troubled by the difficulties of the world. She had to plan for her family and seize power for her husband. It seemed that only in this way could she protect her wealth and glory. The two of them had their beauty, but Mu Qingya lacked that quick-witted and free spirit.
At about the same time, Su Yuanchao’s car also stopped at the entrance of the Xu family’s house. Ever since Xu Chonglou had rejected him, this person was too lazy to even pretend. In the past, he would deliberately appear refined, but now, he revealed his true nature and did not hide it at all.
“He’s still your father-in-law after all. Give him some face,” Mother Su reminded him when she saw this.
In Mother Su’s heart, the entire Xu family was a hypocrite. In the end, he still despised the Su family’s small family. Otherwise, how could he not even help his son-in-law? Therefore, the mother and son of the Su family did not feel guilty at all when Xu Huiwen was tortured to such a state. Not only did Xu Huiwen not contribute to Su Yuanchao’s career, she couldn’t even give birth to a son. Of course, the most useless ones were still those who couldn’t even take care of a child. They only knew how to cry all day long. It was annoying to listen to them.
“Mom, stop pretending. Don’t I know what you’re thinking?” Su Yuanchao snorted and laughed.
“If it’s as you said, the Xu family called you here to get you a divorce, then we have to have a good talk. This is a matter between you and your wife. I haven’t even sued the Xu family for hiding my granddaughter. Get out of the car. I’ll go meet the Xu family.” Mother Su said in a high-spirited manner.
The Su family was certain that the Xu family would not blow things up, so they were so confident and shameless.
In the hall, news of Su Yuanchao’s arrival at the Xu family’s residence had already reached them. The first thing the elders and Huo Shengyuan thought of was to take the initiative to avoid him. Huo Qingxiao also turned to look at Huo Jiuxiao and his wife, reminding them that this was a family matter of the Xu family and that outsiders should avoid arousing suspicion.
Everyone was making their move. However, at this moment, Mother Xu suddenly turned to Lin Wanli and said, “The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, you stay here. I heard that you’re an expert in business negotiations. Stay here and help me come up with some ideas.”
“Okay, Auntie.” Lin Wanli paused and nodded.
At this moment, Mu Qingya panicked. She was more talented than Lin Wanli, so why did Mother Xu fall for that country bumpkin? What business negotiation expert? How capable was she? Had she ever seen a real consortium? So, she wanted to stay behind to prevent Lin Wanli from taking the initiative. However, Huo Shengyuan frowned and warned her.
Everyone knew very well what kind of temper Mother Xu had. Don’t make it so obvious. It would attract disgust.
However, Mother Xu seemed to have seen through her thoughts. And she said, “Qingya also stays here.”
“Okay, Auntie.” Mu Qingya agreed excitedly.
Mother Xu didn’t ask Mu Qingya to stay because she wanted her to solve the problem with her, but because she wanted Mu Qingya to see the gap between her and Lin Wanli.
Soon, the men entered the backyard, leaving only the Xu couple, Lin Wanli, and Mu Qingya in the hall.
At this moment, Su Yuanchao helped Mother Su into the Xu family’s living room.
When the two in-laws met, their eyes were filled with envy. However, Elder Xu still maintained his composure and asked the servant to serve tea for the two of them.
Mother Su sat down on the sofa and looked at Mother Xu. “In-law, may I know where my daughter-in-law and granddaughter are now?” she asked. “Huiwen has lived with her parents for a long time. It’s time for us to take care of her.”
“There’s no need to say anything more. After all, I asked you to come here today to resolve the marriage between the two of them.” Mother Xu couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and went straight to the point.
However, Mother Su pretended to be puzzled and continued, “The two of them are fine. There’s nothing to resolve. After all, we don’t want to see Huiwen suffer from postnatal depression. We’ll just take care of her when we get home.. Isn’t in-law making a mountain out of a molehill?”
