Chapter 76: Shameless Woman
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Tell me, what kind of person did you find? Other than causing trouble, what else can you do? Greed was not enough, and she still wants to jump onto the branch and become a phoenix?”
The old madam, who was upstairs and heard Geng Giu crying, came down as well. The moment she opened her mouth, she complained to Su Li.
Su Li also dared not speak. If it weren’t for being left with no other choice, she would never have brought back the troublesome Wen Xin.
The last time she saw Wen Xin at the Zhao Family, she had already regretted it, afraid that Old Madam Zhao would listen to Wen Xin’s nonsense.
“Mom, ask Old Madam Zhao out for tea tomorrow. Tell Old Madam Zhao that although Qiuqiu isn’t eighteen yet, the engagement should be brought forward. Why don’t we get engaged next week on Yuzheng’s birthday? That way, we’ll be at ease!”
Su Li looked at Old Madam Geng and said ingratiatingly.
Old Lady Zhao agreed to Geng Jiao and Zhao Yuzheng’s matter because Old Lady Geng had begged her. If she asked again this time, Old Lady Zhao would probably be too embarrassed to refuse.
Old Lady Geng gave Su Li a sidelong glance. In the past, she had always looked down on this short-sighted, vain woman who came from a small place. Now, she found her even more unpleasant to the eye. She felt that she was useless except for causing trouble.
“What are you panicking about? How could Wen Xin, that wretched girl, be compared to Qiu Qiu? The Zhao family knew who was useful to their family!”
Old Madam Geng spoke with an indifferent expression. The Geng family had now climbed up and their status in the capital was not something that the Zhao family could control. Old Madam Geng was not worried at all.
“Is Qiuqiu going to participate in the piano competition? When the piano preliminaries are over, the Zhaos will definitely take the initiative to express their goodwill. At that time, we will ask for an early engagement. This way, we won’t appear to be too anxious. Things between wealthy families are complicated. You have to learn well!”
Old Madam Geng’s attitude towards Su Li became more and more disdainful, especially when Geng Shikui’s career got better. She felt that Su Li was not worthy of her outstanding son!
Although Su Li did not have many skills, she could read people’s expressions very well. She had long sensed Old Madam Geng becoming dissatisfied with her, but today was the first time she did not hide it at all.
In her heart, she blamed Wen Xin for the old madam’s dissatisfaction towards her. If it were not for Wen Xin, the old madam would not have treated her like this.
She had already decided to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning to find Yang Jingyan and have her take Wen Xin away, never to return to Ice City again.
The next morning, Su Li rushed to the hospital where she had a huge argument with Yang Jingyan. She threatened Yang Jingyan that if she did not agree to take Wen Xin back to Ancient Square Town, she would cut off all her funds and not allow Yang Jingyan to continue staying in the hospital. She would also cut off all of Tan Xingyue’s treatment fees.
Yang Jingyan did not expect her daughter, whom she had doted on since she was young, to become like this. She covered her chest and looked at Su Li with disappointment.
“Su Li, I never thought that you would be such a person. Your father and I have taught you to be grateful since you were young, but you… What have you become?”
“You were the one who forcefully brought me back from Ancient Town Square! You said that you would find someone to treat me, but in reality, you were threatening Wen Xin to come and save your daughter.”
“You used Wen Xin to make Xingyue feel guilty. You kept saying that if it wasn’t for Wen Xin, Xingyue wouldn’t have become a cripple, and if it wasn’t for the Wen family, Xingyue’s father wouldn’t have died.”
“But what does this have to do with you? You left Ancient Market Town before Xingyue was even a month old.. You were the one who abandoned Xingyue and her father, so what right do you have to kidnap Wen Xin? She’s also a child!”
