How could a scheming person like Mrs. Cui fail to see what the two siblings were planning? The so-called "older" is still more spicy, but she was able to calmly pour a glass of juice, take a sip, and then said
: "I also hope to have a daughter like Mengyun. But I always feel that my goddaughter is not close enough. If I were so lucky and could get a daughter-in-law like Mengyun, then we would truly become a family!"
"As he spoke, he took Li Mengyun's hand and shook it intimately.
Li Mengyun got it and relaxed a little. She knew her ideal position in Mrs. Cui's mind, and the most authoritative person in this family was Mrs. Cui. She firmly believed that as long as she firmly grasped Mrs. Cui's heart, she would have nothing to worry about.
Quan Dang thought that Cui Minhao was just making a small fuss and could not make any trouble. As long as it was something she wanted, whether it was a person or an object, she would do everything possible to get it. Thinking about the previous calculations, Han Xiaotao had already made Han Xiaotao
The image in Mrs. Cui's mind has hit rock bottom. I am afraid that except for the insurmountable gap of identity, everything about Han Xiaotao - especially her mother and the scene in the hotel, cannot be accepted by Mrs. Cui.
"That's not going to be easy. You only have a son, and I only have a younger brother. If you want Mengyun to be the wife of our Cui family, where can you find a husband named Cui for her?" Huaijin
I asked pretending to be ignorant.
Mrs. Cui looked stern and said: "As you said, don't I have a son? Why can't I recruit Meng Yun as my wife? Where can I find a second wife who is so well-behaved, sensible and caring?
?”
"But mom, don't forget, your son is already famous and has a master." Huaijin's words were as cold as a dagger, as if he wanted to cut through the looming veil between the two.
Mrs. Cui wanted to say something else, but she was stopped when she raised her head and met Huai Jin's questioning eyes.
"Yes, the girl I like is not the kind of girl who likes to stir up trouble, dig up people's privacy, stalk and kill people with borrowed knives." Cui Minhao said without any scruples while fiddling with the dinner on the plate.
Li Mengyun had a ghost in her heart. When she heard Cui Minhao say such words, no matter whether he really meant her or not, she couldn't help but glared at Cui Minhao guiltily, and then quickly looked away. Her face became extremely ugly, and she suppressed the anger in her chest.
, even if you speak, it would be extremely embarrassing if you don’t speak.
"Minhao, you..." Mrs. Cui also heard that there was something in Minhao's words, and she suddenly became angry.
Min Hao did not accept this, threw away his chopsticks and said, "I'm full." Then he turned around and went upstairs, ignoring the rest of the people.
"Hey, you..." Mrs. Cui was stunned. She didn't expect that Min Hao would do such a thing, invite someone here, and give such an insinuating scolding. It was not like the Min Hao of the past. In the past, if he had
If you are dissatisfied, you will definitely become furious, but now you have learned to play tricks. Could it be that you are really learning to be wild with that wild girl named Han?
"Mom, there are some company matters recently, so I can discuss it with you today. Shall we go upstairs?" Huaijin looked at her mother and walked upstairs.
Mrs. Cui had no choice but to agree, so she turned around and patted Li Mengyun's hand and said, "Mengyun, I'll come as soon as I go."
Li Mengyun was full of grievances and couldn't stay any longer. Taking advantage of the moment, he forced a smile and said to Mrs. Cui: "No, Auntie, you go and do your work first. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Mrs. Cui knew that today was embarrassing and she couldn't persuade her to stay. She could only nodded and said: "I'm so sorry, Meng Yun, today is too hasty. Another day, my aunt will definitely invite you over for a meal."
Li Mengyun responded with a smile and walked away in a hurry.
The meal she had been looking forward to had ended so unhappy, and Mrs. Cui was so angry that she walked upstairs and went straight to Min Hao's room. However, when she was halfway there, Huai Jin came out to stop her.
She said, "You should come to me first, right, Mom? There seems to be something that hasn't been explained clearly between us, right?"
Mrs. Cui took a deep breath and looked at Huaijin with a strange look, as if to say: Do you have to fight for this? Huaijin also looked at her with affirmation. Mrs. Cui was angry and helpless, and turned around
He walked into the study angrily.
Huaijin followed calmly, closed the door, and said straight to the point: "Mom, you don't want to go back on the things we agreed on now, right? I have done everything I promised you. With the cooperation of the Pan family, it is enough
Sapphire’s future development plans. There’s no need for you to involve the Li family anymore, right?”
"Yes, I said that if you marry the Pan family, I won't have to win over the Li family. However, I didn't say that I like Mengyun because I want to have a business partnership with the Li family. This child is
I watched her grow up, what's wrong with me wanting her to be my daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Cui said confidently.
"But you promised me that you would not force Min Hao to pursue his own happiness. You clearly knew that he did not like Li Mengyun, and you did that deliberately. This seems to be a violation of our agreement." Cui Huaijin emphasized.
"Of course I remember what I said. Min Hao is my son, and of course I want him to be happy, but I don't think what he pursues can bring him happiness." Mrs. Cui sat down on the armchair with piercing eyes.
"I have lived for most of my life, and I know much better than you what happiness is, and I also know better how to get happiness."
"Then do you think I will be happy when I marry into the Pan family? I am your daughter, have you really thought about my happiness? Or are you only thinking about your career and family?" Huaijin asked sharply.
Mrs. Cui didn't know why Huai Jin suddenly lost such a temper. This girl had been obedient since she was a child. Compared to Min Hao, she was much gentler and measured in her actions. Even such a well-behaved child would now yell at her mother.
Is it really contrary to shouting? Mrs. Cui said angrily: "Since you are my daughter, you should trust me as a mother, right? What do you mean by making such a fuss now? Is it because of this?
If you say I am harming you, do you want to harm Minhao?"
"Don't you think so?" Huai Jin sneered. Before Mrs. Cui could refute, she lifted up her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her white arms. Huai Jin was always a steady person and would not hurt herself.
Like this. Mrs. Cui looked at her in confusion and surprise, not knowing what this meant. Huaijin's eyes were a little red, and she straightened her arms tremblingly and said to her mother: "Such a scar, every day is full of indifference.
, is the family of suspicion, quarrels, what you call the happiness you give? Do you think I should be grateful to you for this? You are always so self-righteous, how long will you continue to do this? You are really going to hurt Min Hao,
Are you willing to harm all your children?"
"What are you..." Mrs. Cui is not a fool, and it is her daughter who is being hurt now. It is impossible for her to pretend to be stupid. When Huaijin said such words, anyone can understand what is going on.
Huaijin didn't want to get entangled with her on this unnecessary issue, so he took back his hand and continued: "But I don't regret it, and I don't have any other intentions. I just want to tell you that in this family, it is enough to sacrifice me alone.
Min Hao is still young. He still has a long life. He must be happy. He must be happy together with me, so that he can be worthy of my decision. If someone still tries to deprive Min Hao of his life,
As a sister, I will not stand idly by. No matter who that person is, no matter what the high-sounding reason is, I will stand on Minhao's side and will oppose it to the end. I think my mother does not want to see this family change.
Is it like that?"
Mrs. Cui stared at Huai Jin with wide eyes, unable to say a word. The rising numbers she saw every day in the stock exchange and the envious looks of others made Mrs. Cui feel like she was being held up in the clouds.
She was proud of her wise decision. But she never knew what Huaijin's life would be like after marriage. It was just in her imagination that the eldest lady of the Cui family had become the young lady of the Pan family again, and deserved more than anyone else.
Happiness is. However, the reality didn't seem to be what she thought. She took a big breath to calm down her mood. She couldn't even take a breath to continue arguing with Huaijin, so she just watched her turn around and walk out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Huaijin opened the study door, he looked up and saw Min Hao standing at the door with a frosty face and his hands tightly clenched into fists.
"Min Hao..." Huaijin's heart tightened and she opened her mouth to explain.
Min Hao interrupted her. He asked coldly: "Is that so? Did you agree to marry Pan Yun because of me?" He looked at Huai Jin as if asking for confirmation, even though he already had the answer in his heart.
But he didn't dare to accept it. He looked at his sister with red eyes, and his heart was shaking like a cold winter.
"No...it's not..." Huaijin said hesitantly and couldn't help but shake his head, but Minhao's hurt look was like a hand strangling her throat, preventing her from telling lies. She should know that if
How sad would Min Hao be if he knew the truth? Although he usually didn't say it, Huai Jin was absolutely sure of their relationship. She could sacrifice herself for her brother, and in turn, Min Hao would do the same; only this time
I compromised first and chose this way to protect him.
Min Hao grabbed Huai Jin's hand and lifted up her sleeve to look at it. The bruises on the smooth-skinned arm were like sharp swords piercing into Min Hao's heart. He stared at Huai Jin and asked: "
Did he do it? Is it that guy named Pan?" Huaijin tried to speak several times, but Minhao suppressed her with a more terrifying voice. Huaijin knew that she had no way to hide it from Minhao anymore, so instead of continuing to do so needlessly
It is better to be honest than to argue. What we need to do now is to appease Min Hao first.
"These are all family matters, I will handle them myself..."
"I'll kill him!" Min Hao said four words with red eyes and gritted teeth, turned around and rushed downstairs.
