“What are you saying? You’re so rude.”

Fang Zhili could not help but look at Li Haoran. Upon sight of his facial expression, she felt a little thrilled.

Feeling even more indignant, Li Xueqing said, “Father is stating facts. Has she ever called you her mother before?”

Fang Zhili looked at Li Haoran, pretending to be aggrieved.

Li Haoran’s face grew even more petulant and he stared at Li Beinian who was busy eating.

Li Beinian said coldly with slightly raised brows, “My mother passed away a long time ago.”

Unable to keep her cool anymore, Fang Zhili glanced at Li Haoran with an awkward expression.

However, she saw some change in Li Haoran’s eyes.

It was subtle, but enough to make Fang Zhili keep her guard up.

Does he still have feelings for his deceased wife?

Fang Zhili gritted her teeth and tried to look calm. “Niannian, I know I can’t compare to your biological mother but I’m trying my best to do everything well... ”

“In that case, we may speak again when you’re doing well,” Li Beinian said while eating and did not bother to raise her head at all.

Fang Zhili began boiling with rage after hearing her words.

This wild lass is so sharp-tongued!

Her attitude is so infuriating!

Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted.

Li Haoran barked, “Enough, the food is not enough to shut you up, eh!?!”

Although he was directing those words at Li Beinian, Li Xueqing and Fang Zhili felt pricked by them.

Li Beinian murmured, “I’m not the one who keeps talking, why are you scolding me for?”

Since no one answered her, there was a strange tension in the air.

Fang Zhili felt extremely agitated and Li Xueqing was just as displeased.

Li Beinian was the only person who still had an appetite.

The meal was finally over and Fang Zhili headed to her daughter’s room while Li Xueqing followed closely behind her.

“Mother, look at that woman’s attitude. It’s so infuriating!”

Fang Zhili was obviously angry too.

She was exasperated!

“She won’t be smug for too long!”

Suddenly reminded of something, Li Xueqing said, “Mother, do you think the Mu Family knows about that b*tch getting arrested? I think Old Mr. Mu was the one who answered when I called. Who bailed Li Beinian out?”

“I think it’s Mu Donglin.”

Surprised to hear her answer, Li Xueqing said, “Seriously, Mu Donglin? Doesn’t it mean that he already knows everything?”

Fang Zhili sneered and said smugly, “Yeah, who knows? We might hear some good news from them soon. Since the marriage between the two families has already been confirmed and announced to the world, the Mu Family wouldn’t easily call off the wedding.”

“Is there a chance that they would replace the bride then?” asked Li Xueqing who was thrilled at the thought of the handsome man whom she saw by the poolside that day. “Mother, if Li Beinian can’t marry the Mu Family, then I...”

“That’s likely. You’re much more outstanding than that wild lass. You’ve got great character and you’re beautiful. That lass may be sharp-tongued but she’s a dimwit.”

Li Xueqing was on cloud nine and she began blushing in excitement.

“Straightforward people like her are the best to deal with. Even if she marries Mu Donglin, she can forget about getting anything from Dawn Entertainment!” Fang Zhili sounded extremely stern but she gazed at her daughter with a tender expression. “Don’t worry, I’ve been guarding it for so many years. What’s yours, will be yours.”

Li Beinian: Hah, I’m waiting for you guys to deal with me.
