Overestimated

Pan Yueyue looked at her mother, feeling even more upset.
She said with tears in her eyes, âMom, I really canât accept this. Is this how it ends?â
Mrs. Pan frowned. Things had already come to this; was she still going to act up?
âWhat else are you planning?â asked Mrs. Pan. Without the Li familyâs support, your father isnât enough to play around with the Jiangs.â
âThe Jiangs arenât that powerful!â Pan Yueyue said disdainfully.
âNo matter what,â said Mrs. Pan solemnly, âWe canât afford to offend them. Besides, theyâre cooperating with the Li family right now.â
âItâs all my fault for overestimating Dadâs position in the Li family,â Pan Yueyue said in frustration. âThatâs why this happened.â
âYueyue, what do you mean by what you just said?â Mrs. Pan asked.
Pan Yueyue was speechless.
She felt very guilty that she had let the cat out of the bag.
âYueyue, tell me the truth. Is there something youâre hiding?â Mrs. Pan asked.
Pan Yueyue glanced at the door in fear. âMom, keep your voice down,â she whispered.
âDonât worry,â Mrs. Pan said. âThereâs a patient with an issue in the hospital, so your father went to the hospital. Weâre the only ones at home.â
Pan Yueyue was silent for a long time. Then, she said honestly, âI deliberately revealed some dirt about Jiang Lingâer and called Old Madam Li back. I wanted her to chase Jiang Lingâer away. But for some reason, Jiang Lingâer wasnât chased away. Instead, the Li family stopped supporting us.â
Mrs. Pan frowned and said angrily, âYueyue, youâre already in your 20s. How can you still be so stupid? Thatâs CEO Liâs mother; would she harm her own son for an outsider?â
âBut I didnât mean to harm CEO Li,â Pan Yueyue said. âI just wanted to use Old Madam Li to drive Jiang Lingâer away.â
Mrs. Pan gritted her teeth and said, Why canât you just admit that youâre stupid? You already know CEO Li is her manager, yet you still went to tell Old Madam Li that thereâs something wrong with the person he likes?â
âLetâs not talk about whether Jiang Lingâer is a problem or not. Even if she is, arenât you saying that CEO Li has bad taste?â Mrs. Pan continued after taking a deep breath. Do you think sheâll be in a good mood if you say that her son has bad taste in front of her?â
âEven so, itâs still better than having a bad woman by his side, right?â Pan Yueyue said indignantly.
Mrs. Pan was so angry that she laughed and said,âHa⦠Let me ask you, are those rumors even true? Have you checked?â
Pan Yueyue said guiltily, âI donât know either. However, my agent said that many things arenât baseless. Jiang Lingâer seems like a really good person, so why would she let others slander her?â
âOh,â Mrs. Pan said angrily. âI think youâre just jealous. Do you think people will believe you just because you say it? That Jiang familyâs daughter must have something amazing about her. Otherwise, how could CEO Li like her?â
âMom, Iâm your daughter,â Pan Yueyue said while upset. âHow can you praise someone else?â
Seeing how stupid her daughter was, Mrs. Pan sighed helplessly.
âBeing able to face the excellence of others would show you have a good outlook. Do you understand?â
Pan Yueyue snorted and said disdainfully, âI donât think thereâs anything good about her. She wouldnât be where she is today without CEO Liâs support.â
Mrs. Pan was very disappointed to see that her daughter was exactly the same as her husband.
âIf Jiang Lingâer is really useless, why didnât CEO Li choose someone else?â asked Mrs. Pan.
âOf course! He just wants to sleep with her!â Pan Yueyue said unhappily.
âDo you really think heâs that shallow?â Mrs. Pan asked. Since you were in that drama, I watched it as well. Jiang Lingâerâs acting skills can easily overshadow you.â
Pan Yueyue was speechless.
âThere are some things that you just canât admit,â Mrs. Pan said seriously. âI hope you can see through everything. Just because you canât compare to her now doesnât mean you wonât be able to do so in the future. Do you understand?â
Pan Yueyue frowned and replied,â Okay, I understand. Mom, does CEO Li really think Jiang Lingâer will win?â
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Pan said, âWhether itâs true or not, it has nothing to do with us. Remember, if itâs not yours, donât even think about it.â
Pan Yueyue was very upset, but she didnât dare to refute.
Mrs. Pan knew that her daughter must be unhappy.
She said, âYueyue, I donât want to discourage you. However, you canât possibly enter the Li family!â
âMom, why do you look down on me like this?â Pan Yueyue asked..
