Overestimated

Pan Yueyue looked at her mother, feeling even more upset.
She said with tears in her eyes, “Mom, I really can’t accept this. Is this how it ends?”
Mrs. Pan frowned. Things had already come to this; was she still going to act up?
“What else are you planning?” asked Mrs. Pan. Without the Li family’s support, your father isn’t enough to play around with the Jiangs.”
“The Jiangs aren’t that powerful!” Pan Yueyue said disdainfully.
“No matter what,” said Mrs. Pan solemnly, “We can’t afford to offend them. Besides, they’re cooperating with the Li family right now.”
“It’s all my fault for overestimating Dad’s position in the Li family,” Pan Yueyue said in frustration. “That’s why this happened.”
“Yueyue, what do you mean by what you just said?” Mrs. Pan asked.
Pan Yueyue was speechless.
She felt very guilty that she had let the cat out of the bag.
“Yueyue, tell me the truth. Is there something you’re hiding?” Mrs. Pan asked.
Pan Yueyue glanced at the door in fear. “Mom, keep your voice down,” she whispered.
“Don’t worry,” Mrs. Pan said. “There’s a patient with an issue in the hospital, so your father went to the hospital. We’re the only ones at home.”
Pan Yueyue was silent for a long time. Then, she said honestly, “I deliberately revealed some dirt about Jiang Ling’er and called Old Madam Li back. I wanted her to chase Jiang Ling’er away. But for some reason, Jiang Ling’er wasn’t chased away. Instead, the Li family stopped supporting us.”
Mrs. Pan frowned and said angrily, “Yueyue, you’re already in your 20s. How can you still be so stupid? That’s CEO Li’s mother; would she harm her own son for an outsider?”
“But I didn’t mean to harm CEO Li,” Pan Yueyue said. “I just wanted to use Old Madam Li to drive Jiang Ling’er away.”
Mrs. Pan gritted her teeth and said, Why can’t you just admit that you’re stupid? You already know CEO Li is her manager, yet you still went to tell Old Madam Li that there’s something wrong with the person he likes?”
“Let’s not talk about whether Jiang Ling’er is a problem or not. Even if she is, aren’t you saying that CEO Li has bad taste?” Mrs. Pan continued after taking a deep breath. Do you think she’ll be in a good mood if you say that her son has bad taste in front of her?”
“Even so, it’s still better than having a bad woman by his side, right?” Pan Yueyue said indignantly.
Mrs. Pan was so angry that she laughed and said,”Ha… Let me ask you, are those rumors even true? Have you checked?”
Pan Yueyue said guiltily, “I don’t know either. However, my agent said that many things aren’t baseless. Jiang Ling’er seems like a really good person, so why would she let others slander her?”
“Oh,” Mrs. Pan said angrily. “I think you’re just jealous. Do you think people will believe you just because you say it? That Jiang family’s daughter must have something amazing about her. Otherwise, how could CEO Li like her?”
“Mom, I’m your daughter,” Pan Yueyue said while upset. “How can you praise someone else?”
Seeing how stupid her daughter was, Mrs. Pan sighed helplessly.
“Being able to face the excellence of others would show you have a good outlook. Do you understand?”
Pan Yueyue snorted and said disdainfully, “I don’t think there’s anything good about her. She wouldn’t be where she is today without CEO Li’s support.”
Mrs. Pan was very disappointed to see that her daughter was exactly the same as her husband.
“If Jiang Ling’er is really useless, why didn’t CEO Li choose someone else?” asked Mrs. Pan.
“Of course! He just wants to sleep with her!” Pan Yueyue said unhappily.
“Do you really think he’s that shallow?” Mrs. Pan asked. Since you were in that drama, I watched it as well. Jiang Ling’er’s acting skills can easily overshadow you.”
Pan Yueyue was speechless.
“There are some things that you just can’t admit,” Mrs. Pan said seriously. “I hope you can see through everything. Just because you can’t compare to her now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do so in the future. Do you understand?”
Pan Yueyue frowned and replied,” Okay, I understand. Mom, does CEO Li really think Jiang Ling’er will win?”
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Pan said, “Whether it’s true or not, it has nothing to do with us. Remember, if it’s not yours, don’t even think about it.”
Pan Yueyue was very upset, but she didn’t dare to refute.
Mrs. Pan knew that her daughter must be unhappy.
She said, “Yueyue, I don’t want to discourage you. However, you can’t possibly enter the Li family!”
“Mom, why do you look down on me like this?” Pan Yueyue asked..
