Li Guifen was stunned by Hu Qing's scolding and stood there speechless.

Hu Qing sneered, "Wang Cheng and I are not married. Do you really think you're my mother-in-law? Where's Wang Cheng? Tell him to come up here and see me."

“He didn’t come; we came on our own,” Li Guifen hurriedly shook her head.

Wang Peng shook his head. He had already seen Wang Cheng's car, parked across the street. Neither Wang Song nor Li Guifen could drive.

Wang Cheng retained his old ways, preferring to hide in the background and stir up trouble, while letting his mentally unstable parents take the lead.

He wanted to gain status through his son, and the child in Hu Qing's belly was the guarantee of his wealth, so he made his parents come over to be scolded.

Wang Song smiled and said, "Xiao Hu, we, your wife and I, heard that you were attending the banquet and were worried that the smoking and drinking would affect the children, so we came to check on you."

"This is a banquet hosted by Wang Peng, and we don't dare to come because we're not outsiders."

"If it were an outsider hosting the banquet, we would never come and embarrass you. Please don't be angry."

After finishing his speech in one breath, Wang Song couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hu Qing disliked Li Guifen, but didn't dislike Wang Song, who was taciturn and didn't cause trouble. Hearing his kind explanation made her feel a little better.

Li Guifen said doubtfully, "Girl, even I, an old woman from the countryside, know that smoking and drinking are bad for children. Wang Peng invited you over for drinks, so he's obviously not up to no good. Don't be fooled by him."

"When it comes to shamelessness and deception, ten Wang Pengs wouldn't be a match for you," Li Mingzhu sneered. "Li Guifen, open your eyes and see clearly. Is there any wine on the table? Is anyone smoking in the room?"

Li Guifen stared intently at Li Mingzhu. If they were to consider blood relations, this was her daughter-in-law.

Seeing Li Mingzhu dressed in designer clothes, looking so beautiful, and with a height, appearance, and figure that completely surpassed Hu Qing's, she felt a pang of jealousy.

Wang Cheng is ten thousand times better than Wang Peng, so Wang Cheng's wife should also be ten thousand times better than Wang Peng's wife. How come it's the other way around now?

"What are you standing there for? Open your eyes and look!" Li Mingzhu suddenly raised her voice, put her hands on her hips, and stared intently at Li Guifen.

Anyway, the main theme of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships is arguing, and she's not afraid of being called a shrew.

Because of that blood relation, her husband couldn't beat or scold those two people, so Li Mingzhu naturally had to take up the banner of fighting against her wicked in-laws.

"Let me look, what's so great about it?" Li Guifen circled the dining table, carefully examining the contents of the disposable cups.

There's black Coca-Cola, yellow orange juice, and bubbly Sprite.

She walked around the table, but saw no water, no ashtray or cigarette butt, and didn't even smell any smoke.

Li Mingzhu sneered, "Li Guifen, did you see that clearly?"

"Hmph." Li Guifen turned her head away and ignored him.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, please don't be angry," Wang Song said gently. "We were just being foolish today, we're sorry."

"Wang Song, haven't you guys done enough stupid things?"

Li Mingzhu sneered, "Don't try to claim kinship with me. I have nothing to do with you. Even if Wang Peng acknowledges you as his father in the future, I will never acknowledge you as my father-in-law."

"Also, don't send anything to my house anymore, we don't want it. I threw the oranges you sent last time in the trash," Li Mingzhu added.

Wang Song blushed, speechless after being rebuked, and could only sigh and lower his head.

"Why did you give him oranges? That old bastard!" Li Guifen cursed Wang Song angrily. "I'd rather feed oranges to pigs than give them to Wang Peng..."

Snap—

Hu Qing slapped her across the face and pointed at the door, angrily shouting, "You want to embarrass me in front of outsiders? Get out of here right now!"

The slap was loud, and everyone was stunned.

Wang Peng shook his head and turned to look at Wang Cheng's car downstairs.

"You, you dare to hit me?" Li Guifen was furious and opened her mouth to curse Hu Qing.

"Li Guifen, if Wang Cheng were here, I would beat him up too."

Hu Qing sneered, "I'll count to three, and you'd better disappear from my sight right now, or I'll abort your grandson. One, two..."

"Hurry up!" Wang Song hurriedly pulled Li Guifen downstairs.

His grandson is his lifeblood. He would endure the pain and take the beating, even if it meant his wife was slapped.

The two left the private room. Hu Qing turned to close the door, glanced at Zhou Shun on the stairs, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

With no one else around, the private room became quiet.

Li Keyong looked up at Hu Qing and said, "You assaulted someone in front of the police. Do you not respect the police?"

"Uncle, don't try to scare me. I know the law."

Hu Qing said with a smile, "Under normal circumstances, pregnant women will not be subject to administrative detention. At most, you can criticize and educate me and fine me a little money."

Her attitude when she hit someone was extremely arrogant, but now she's all smiles and trying to please. Her change of attitude is faster than turning the pages of a book.

Li Keyong shook his head, glanced at his watch, and said, "Xiaopeng, Mingzhu, I have to go to the brigade for duty. I'm leaving now."

"Comrade Li, my home is near your brigade, but it's hard to get a bus right now. Could you give me a ride?" Ji Miaomiao said, getting up.

“Sure, I’m riding a motorcycle,” Li Keyong said.

"It's okay, a bicycle is fine," Ji Miaomiao said with a smile.

Wang Peng felt something was off. He and his wife saw them off downstairs and watched Li Keyong leave with Ji Miaomiao.

"Honey, I feel like Senior Sister Ji is acting a bit strange." Li Mingzhu scratched her head.

"Never mind her." Wang Peng looked at the Honda Accord across the street, or more precisely, Hu Qing's Honda Accord.

“Old Wang,” Hu Qing said, “if you want to send Zhou Shun in to work on the sewing machine, you should seriously consider my suggestion.”

Li Mingzhu blinked and chuckled, "Sister Hu Qing, do you know about in vitro fertilization?"

Hu Qing was taken aback, then shook her head.

Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "Go back and do your research. If you really want to use my husband's seed, I have no objection."

"Mingzhu, don't talk nonsense." Wang Peng glared at her, feeling that his wife was becoming more and more lawless.

"Goodbye, Mr. Wang; goodbye, Mingzhu." Hu Qing waved and drove away in her Audi A6.

Li Mingzhu said eagerly, "It's just IVF, just think of it as a free donation. If this works out, your son will be the boss of Huihuang in the future."

"What are you thinking about all day?" Wang Peng said, both amused and exasperated. "Hu Qing is crazy. I don't want to have anything to do with her."

"Honey, life is unpredictable. IVF can help you get rid of Hu Qing's entanglement."

Li Mingzhu said softly, "You definitely won't let Zhou Shun off the hook. It won't be easy to deal with him unless Hu Qing helps you."

“From a purely economic standpoint, you and Hu Qing getting IVF would be the most advantageous outcome, wouldn’t you?” Li Mingzhu added.

"Nonsense, let's not bring this up again." Wang Peng had a headache. "Let's go upstairs and continue eating."

The two went to a private room on the fifth floor, where only Du Lei and Dong Shishi remained.

Du Lei said, "Brother, the opening is in a few days, you must come to cut the ribbon."

Dong Shishi said, "We've already done a lot of advertising on TV, so our brother supermarket will definitely have a great opening."

Wang Peng waved his hand, "It's after get off work hours now, let's not talk about work."
