Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bei De and Bei Cong clinked glasses and drank wine together.
Shen Yu was dumbfounded. “This, this, how can he do this? He’s our son-in-law. How can he be so heartless?”
Shen Yu thought for a moment. “It must be Bei Shuo’s doing! This girl is born rebellious. She’s an ingrate! Now that she’s firmly the Young Madam of the Mu Family, she doesn’t care about our lives anymore! Hmph, not only does she not care, but she also wants to hit us when we’re down!”
Bei De frowned and said hesitantly, “Haven’t you been guests at the Mu Family for the past few days? Has your relationship with Bei Shuo improved? That girl isn’t familiar with us. I don’t think there’s a problem if we rope her in. She’s short-sighted and inexperienced. She doesn’t know how important her maternal family is to married women!”
Shen Yu snorted. “Why wouldn’t she understand? Now that she has hooked up with the Shen Family, that Eldest Young Master of the Shen Family treats her like a treasure! It’s said that the matriarch of the Shen Family said that Bei Shuo is the granddaughter of the Shen Family! It’s obvious that he wants to support her in everything! Look at how smug she is. She’s as close as sisters with the young lady of the Shen Family and treats our Bei Le coldly! I’m so angry!”
Shen Yu was so angry that she put down her chopsticks.
Bei Le’s face also revealed a timid expression.
Bei De clearly did not expect this to happen. He was surprised and angry.
Bei Cong poured a glass of wine for Bei De and advised, “Dad, she’s an uneducated child. How can she treat you well? Don’t count on her. If you have the time, why don’t you count on our Bei Le? She’s more reliable.”
“Look at Bei Le now. She relied on her own hard work to become a popular celebrity! Dad, we’re all proud! Our Bei Le never mentions her family background when she goes out. She’s a rich young mistress and doesn’t do any chores at home, but she can endure any hardship in the production team. Look at the comments online now. They’re all good reviews!”
Bei Cong looked proud at the mention of his sister.
Bei Le looked at Bei Cong and smiled obediently. “That’s because I have my parents and brother as my backing! You’ve never stopped me from doing what I like. Although I’m not your biological daughter, you treat me like your biological daughter. If I don’t work hard, who will I let down?”
“Listen, listen. Dad, this is the child our family raised!” Bei Cong praised his sister with exaggerated body language.
Shen Yu’s eyes were wet. She hugged Bei Le and said, “Our Bei Le is the most sensible and considerate child!”
Bei De also sighed.
Bei Le stood up and poured wine for her parents and brother. She sat back down and said gently, “We’re a family. Only by working together can we get better and better, right?”
Bei De, his wife, and Bei Cong nodded.
Bei Le then said, “Dad, Brother, I don’t know much about business, but recently, I’ve been attending some dinners because of work needs. I see that those successful bosses are repeatedly emphasizing one thing: ‘Eggs shouldn’t be all placed in the same basket’. I didn’t take it to heart in the past. Today, when I heard you guys talk about our Bei Corporation’s business, I thought, why does our Bei Corporation have to do construction and engineering? No matter how good we are, we can’t surpass those big families, right?”
“They’ve already monopolized this industry. We can only rely on others. When they sneeze, we’ll have a serious cold. When they’re unhappy, we’ll have to tremble in fear. Brother and I have already grown up. Logically speaking, Dad should start to bring Mom to enjoy life, but now, he still has to work Brother and I really feel bad.”
She glanced at Bei Cong, who nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Bei De and his wife’s hearts were about to melt from this sweet talk.
Bei De sighed and said, “Good child, you and your brother are so sensible. No matter how hard I work, it’s worth it!”
Bei Le smiled. “Dad, what I mean is that we shouldn’t put all the eggs in the same basket. We should follow the trend and develop some new projects to obtain greater benefits. Brother, what do you think?”
Bei Cong’s eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh. ���Wonderful, my sister said it brilliantly!”
Then, he gave Bei De and his wife a thumbs up. “Look at her knowledge and horizons.. Tsk!”
