Gong Zeli’s expression didn’t change. “Since you already know, why are you still calling me?”
“You brat!” Madam Gong raised her voice. “You actually did such a disgraceful thing. A man like you actually touched a woman. Is this what I’ve taught you? I’m telling you, you can’t bully girls.
“I invited Qingqing to my house as a guest. Speaking of which, you’re her brother. Is this how you treat your sister? If your Uncle Shangguan and Aunt Shangguan know that you treated Qingqing like this, do you know what they’ll think?
“Why don’t you consider the consequences of your actions!”
Gong Zeli was indifferent. “What’s wrong with that? Some women deserve a beating. Since Uncle Shangguan and Aunt Shangguan didn’t educate their daughter well, I’ll help them educate her. Speaking of which, they should thank me.”
“You! So unreasonable! When your Uncle Shangguan sent Qing Qing over, I promised to take good care of her. But now that this happened, how am I going to explain it to them?
“They only have one daughter, Qingqing. But now, my son has hit her.”
“Mom, I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. When they ask, just push everything to me and let them come to me. I’ll give them whatever explanation they want. Also, this is the last time I’m saying this to you. I won’t marry Shangguan Qing. Not in this lifetime.
“If you insist on setting me up with her, I can do even worse things. Don’t regret it, then.”
Gong Zeli was about to hang up.
“What are you dissatisfied with about Qingqing? The Shangguan’s are compatible with our family. Qingqing is outstanding in all aspects. Most importantly, she’s loyal to you. Our Gong Family needs such a daughter-in-law.
“Are you still thinking about that girl from the Shen Family?
“Or is it because of that girl?”
Gong Zeli was about to hang up when Madam Gong mentioned Qiao Mianmian.
“Mom, I’m not willing to marry Shangguan Qing because I’m not interested in her. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
“It seems like it’s really because of that actress with the surname Qiao.” Madam Gong sneered. “You have such a big reaction when talking about her. If you want to play with that lousy actress, I won’t say anything about it. You just have to keep your heart in check before marriage.
“But if you fall for an actress, you’re embarrassing the family.”
Gong Zeli’s expression darkened when Madam Gong belittled Qiao Mianmian. “Mom, she’s not some low-class actress. You come from an affluent family, why must you say such awful things?”
He couldn’t tolerate others belittling Qiao Mianmian.
Even if the person was his mother.
Madam Gong was even angrier now that he was so protective of Qiao Mianmian. “You actually rebutted me for an actress. It seems like Qingqing is right. She’s really a vixen.
“She’s just a woman, it’s fine if you treat her like a toy.”
