Due to the reason of the appeal, the other party did not make a move.
And recently, Cao Feihu seemed to have bad luck on his side. First, his sister was reprimanded by Elder Qu because of the little miss of the Green Gang. Then, the Dream Group also requested to terminate the cooperation with Cao Feihu.
The Dream Group requested to terminate the cooperation, but Cao Feihu definitely would not agree. They both signed a contract. If they want to terminate it, then he would sue. However, the person from the Dream Group took out a document and gave it to Cao Feihu. He immediately gave up.
What else could he do? If the Dream Group released this document, he really wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
He also started to get restless.
“Little Miss, should we do something?” Zhou Yunjie asked. What was Zhou Yunjie doing? He was asking Chen Meng’er about Cao Feihu’s matter. Should they push him behind his back?
Zhou Yunjie had long been displeased with the Cao siblings. It should be said that as long as they were targeting his little miss, Zhou Yunjie would be itching to teach them a lesson.
“There’s no need. We don’t need to do anything. We just need to watch.” Chen Meng’er shook her head.
Zhou Yunjie nodded, not fully understanding.
As Zhou Yunjie and Chen Meng’er were talking, a familiar voice sounded in Chen Meng’er’s ear. “Mom? Meng’er? Why are you guys here?”
Chen Meng’er followed the voice and looked over. It was her second aunt, Wei Hongjuan, who did not have much of a presence in the Qu family.
In the Qu family, because of Elder Qu and Madam Qu’s open-mindedness, they did not interfere too much with their sons’ marriages. Therefore, the women that Qu Yaotian and the others married were all chosen by them.
This also resulted in the family background of Qu Yaotian’s wives to be uneven. Such a phenomenon in the Qu family should not be common in upper-class society.
Wei Hongjuan’s family, the Wei family, was not a prestigious family. It could be said that they were not even ranked in the capital. Wei Hongjuan’s parents were both university teachers. As for the Wei family, they had two daughters and a son.
Chen Meng’er sawthat Wei Hongjuan was holding hands with an old lady who did not look like a professor. She was quite curious. Wei Hongjuan’s mother did not have the temperament of a university professor at all. How did she become a university professor?
Wei Hongjuan’s mother was very influential. She loved money and preferred sons over daughters.
Wei Hongjuan was able to catch the eye of Qu Yaoguo and successfully married into the Qu family, becoming the second young mistress of the Qu family. Her mother had played an important role in this.
While Chen Meng’er was sizing up Wei Hongjuan’s mother, Wei Hongjuan’s mother was also sizing her up. Recently, she had heard Chen Meng’er’s name from her daughter many times. She had also heard a lot from her daughter about how her in-laws doted on their newly-found granddaughter.
She did not understand why her daughter’s in-laws doted on their granddaughter so much. If it were up to her, the one who would inherit the family business would always be her son or her grandson.
When Wei Hongjuan’s mother saw Chen Meng’er for the first time, she could not help but sigh in her heart. This child was really good-looking. She was as exquisite as a doll.
However, she could not like Chen Meng’er.
The way she looked at Chen Meng’er was filled with a trace of displeasure and a fake smile.
The change in Mrs. Wei’s gaze fell into Chen Meng’er’s eyes. Chen Meng’er felt that it was funny. Ever since she had acknowledged her family, many people had shown her such expressions, as if she was a bad person who had come to snatch their children’s things.
Chen Meng’er retracted her gaze from Mrs. Wei. She felt that it was too much to look at such a person.
“I dragged Meng’er along to go shopping with me. Are the three of you also out shopping?” Mrs. Wei looked at Chen Meng’er’s eyes. How could the shrewd Madam Qu not understand? Madam Qu knew that this in-law of hers had some power and placed more importance on money. But for the first time, she felt that she was so annoying and unwelcome.
“Yeah, it’s rare for my sister to have time off, so we came out for a stroll.” Wei Hongjuan was a little embarrassed. Whenever she thought of accompanying her sister and her mother, it was because her mother said that her sister was old and it was time to dress up and find her a husband. So, she was dragged out.
Although she said that they were accompanying her, in reality, she was dragged out by her mother to pay for everything.
Wei Hongjuan raised her eyes and looked carefully at her mother-in-law. Throughout the year, she had used her husband’s money quite a lot to support her family. She had always felt that her in-laws knew this in their hearts but they just did not say it out loud.
“Wow, you’ve shopped quite a lot today.” Madam Qu glanced at the bags in the hands of Wei Hongjuan and the other two.
Wei Hongjuan felt guilty. She felt that her mother-in-law’s words had a deep meaning. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say.
Chen Meng’er had just noticed that the bags in the hands of Wei Hongjuan and her daughter were all from expensive stores. Ordinary workers couldn’t afford them. Needless to say, these clothes weren’t all paid for by Wei Hongjuan.
As for Wei Hongjuan, she was only a university professor. How could she afford such things on a small salary?
“Exactly. As her elder sister, Hongjuan saw that her younger sister was getting older and it was time for her to find a partner, so she brought her along to buy some clothes for her,” Mrs. Wei said with a smile. “Oh right, Madam Qu, I have a presumptuous request. If you have a promising young man in your hands, please tell me.”
When Chen Meng’er heard Mrs. Wei’s words, she was very surprised. She had really underestimated Mrs. Wei’s ambition.
