"No wonder feelings developed."
Two young people together, what else besides sparks flying could be expected?
"No! No! Why did everyone leave?" The only one remaining, the old lady from the Qian family, spoke up. How come only she was left among the four of them?
Weren’t they supposed to question Li Xingwan about her initial mistreatment of Little Mobao?
Now, all the old ladies had hurriedly left.
"We’re not concerned about that! It’s how you treat the little grandson of the Fu Family!" The old lady from the Qian family seemed rather anxious. "Weren’t we trying to bring up the truth in front of the old lady from the Fu Family?"
How did things twist and turn to focus back on them?
Li Xingwan looked at her. "Actually, I already answered this earlier. If my feelings towards Little Mobao aren’t genuine, then why would I take him to participate in variety shows?
And now hold his hand and bring him here?"
"But what we heard, it’s all true!"
"So what if it’s true?" Li Xingwan looked at her. "Now the truth is, Little Mobao is my son, and I am his mother. That will never change. No matter how he’s educated, that’s my business."
"She’s telling the truth there."
"Could there have been a misunderstanding before? Whether it’s the biological mother or stepmother raising a child, it’s normal to educate him."
"Exactly, everyone was making a big deal out of nothing before, right?"
"Yes, it’s my mommy’s business." Little Mobao chimed in from the side, seeming a bit shy. He just wanted his mommy to educate him.
He feared his mommy wouldn’t care about him anymore.
Alright, maybe they were overthinking it.
"Exactly! That’s what I wanted to say too." The old lady from the Fu family spoke up at this moment. "From now on, no more spreading rumors in the circle. If anyone dares to gossip about my granddaughter-in-law again, there’ll be hell to pay!"
Who dared to cross the old lady from the Fu family?
With Mr. Fu holding such high status and power.
"We... we were just joking around."
"Yes, old lady Fu, no one took it seriously."
"Usually, words in the circle are just for listening."
"But no more rumors!" The old lady from the Fu family insisted firmly.
"Yes, yes, yes." The people around quickly agreed.
The old lady from the Qian family was completely stunned. "So? What about the question just asked? Is it just going to be over like that?"
Li Xingwan looked at her. "Old lady Qian, don’t you know? People have been talking about your old man for a while now.
It’s said that there’s been something ambiguous going on between him and his secretary. At your age, another scandal wouldn’t be good."
Old Lady Qian’s husband was a live-in son-in-law. When he was young, he had to rely on the Qian family to make his fortune. So he worked hard to please her.
And due to this long-term mentality, now that he has made it, it’s inevitable that he would want to be admired and loved by young women.
Especially when those women were doing their utmost to tempt him, he felt that all the "humiliations" he suffered in the first half of his life were worth it.
Him and his secretary?!
It was like being struck by lightning. She suddenly remembered that once, his secretary came to their house to find him. She had just returned from outside and had caught them.
At that time, they were both flustered and their clothes were somewhat disheveled.
