Father Long didn’t dare to contradict a single word; in the Long Family, Old Madam Long was the one in charge, and Father Long was nothing.
Even though he might be the chairman of the Long Group, once he’s home, he still has to listen to his mother.
"What are you standing around for?!" Old Madam Long glared at He Meiwei, "Are you not going to leave on your own or do you want me to have someone throw you out?"
He Meiwei felt humiliated, a sickly pallor spread across her face, "Old Lady, you don’t need to drive me away, I will go by myself."
Her figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the living room, Old Madam Long turned her gaze to Dragon Mother, "Shufen, it’s not good for you to always make decisions by yourself when your dad and I are not at home. You don’t listen to what your son says, and you ignore my words too, is that right?"
"Mom, just listen to you talking – I genuinely think Meiwei is quite good."
"You think she’s quite good?" Old Madam Long couldn’t understand, "You have two daughters, you’re not lacking a daughter, can’t you give some of that enthusiasm you have for outsiders to your daughter-in-law or your own daughter?"
"Mom, let’s not talk about this anymore. You keep talking about us, but why don’t you speak about your ’good’ granddaughter-in-law?"
"If she’s my ’good’ granddaughter-in-law, why would I have anything to say since she’s good?" Old Madam Long said slowly, "Our Lili is not someone that can be compared with those coquettish tramps."
Dragon Mother’s mouth twitched, "Mom... you’re really too biased towards Gu Lili."
"Nonsense, Beibei’s wife, if I don’t favor her, should I favor that He woman instead? Stop causing trouble."
Although she had been stern with Dragon Mother, when Old Madam Long turned to face Gu Lili, her face was filled with a loving smile, "Lili, don’t worry, I won’t let that He woman step foot in our house ever again, she’s clearly up to no good, utterly shameless. We have many other ladies who don’t come around often, yet she’s got the nerve to act like she’s heading straight to her grave."
Gu Lili thought the old lady was just too adorable, "Grandma, you have no idea how much trouble she’s capable of..."
She went on to recount He Meiwei’s ’glorious’ deeds, and after listening, Old Madam Long nodded, "I was certainly right about people. Your mother thinks she’s quite good, seems like your mother isn’t old but her eyes are already failing. Let’s not talk about her, she’s bad luck. Lili, grandma has given you special instructions, have you carried them out?"
Gu Lili’s cheeks turned red, she murmured softly, "I have."
"That’s good, that’s good." Old Madam Long was clearly satisfied, "Your grandpa and I have quietly been considering names for the child. We’ll choose one for a boy and one for a girl, to ensure we pick a name that is pleasing, nice-sounding, and resonant to everyone."
Gu Lili saw she was truly anxious and smiled understandingly, "Alright."
After leaving the Long Family, He Meiwei was completely beside herself with rage.
She returned to her own nearby home, sat on the bed, and suddenly had a thought: She needed to bear a child, carry Father Long’s child, and birth another heir for the Long Family, infuriating Long Yubei, Gu Lili, and that old hag and old man of the Long Family. One day, Long Yubei and Gu Lili would have to call her "little mom"!
This ambition was indeed grand.
He Meiwei also felt it wasn’t unfeasible.
Once her position was stable and everyone was aware of her status, wouldn’t they be shocked to their core?
Truly something to look forward to!
The most detestable was still Gu Lili.
Thinking of her, He Meiwei was so angry she couldn’t contain it.
She felt she had to thoroughly deal with this damned woman. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel{f}ire.net
To spread her notoriety far and wide, to bring disgrace upon the Long Family!
Now, she wasn’t lacking money at all.
