Lu Ye didn't take Jian Sining's words to heart at all.
Ever since he learned that Jian Sining not only had the ability to make a lot of money but was also very resourceful and smart, he became eager to rekindle his past relationship with her.
But he didn't notice Lin Can's sinister eyes hidden in the dark.
In a few days, An Hongling will return to the Lin family for the family reunion banquet. Lin Zhiyuan has been extremely dissatisfied with He Yinshuang recently because of her coldness and targeting towards An Hongling.
In order to ease the relationship between husband and wife, He Yinshuang took the initiative to take on the task of preparing for the banquet.
At the dinner table, He Yinshuang, for the first time ever, picked up a piece of shredded potatoes for An Hongling.
"I didn't do well these days and made you suffer. From now on, you and Cancan will be the daughter of the Lin family."
"Thank you...Auntie." An Hongling lowered her head. She really didn't want to look at her hypocritical face.
It must be said that He Yinshuang still had some brains. She knew that her previous tough strategy would only push the father and son further and further apart, so she changed to a softer approach.
As expected, Lin Zhiyuan enjoyed it very much and immediately praised He Yinshuang with satisfaction.
"I'm glad you figured it out. After all, all the suffering Hong Ling has suffered over the years is due to our negligence back then."
An unnatural look flashed across He Yinshuang's face, and the corners of her mouth twitched stiffly: "Yes, she has suffered a lot outside. This time we want to invite all her relatives and friends in China to gather together to celebrate her return home."
In the evening, An Hongling had just finished reading and was about to go to bed when He Yinshuang came knocking on the door.
She brought An Hongling a glass of milk and looked at her with a fake smile:
"Drinking milk helps you sleep. We have to drink at least two cups of milk a day when we are abroad. China is too poor and a cup of milk is rationed with coupons. You have probably never had it, right? Take it!"
An Hongling just watched He Yinshuang quietly display her sense of superiority. She couldn't help but wonder, how could there be such a mother in the world?
It was her mistake that caused her to lose her own flesh and blood, causing him to suffer for decades in his adoptive parents' home. Not only did she not feel the slightest bit of guilt or heartache, but she also rubbed salt into her wounds.
Although she had no expectations of the Lin family, she was a living person after all, and the fact that her own mother did not love her still made her feel uncomfortable.
"Take it! I'm bringing you the milk out of kindness, what else are you dissatisfied about?" He Yinshuang's patience was running out and she was about to give up pretending.
"Thank you, Auntie! But I don't drink milk. I'm not used to it."
He Yinshuang's face darkened, and she looked mean: "You are really poor and cheap. You can't even drink good things like milk. You are only worthy of drinking low-grade stuff like soy milk for the rest of your life."
"Soy milk is never low-class. Low-class is the idea of some people who worship foreign things. Soy milk is more suitable for the stomachs of Chinese people, but some people force themselves to accept something that is not suitable for them in order to cater to the sophistication of Westerners. This is stupid!"
"You little bitch, you dare to teach me a lesson?" He Yinshuang raised his hand to slap An Hongling.
"Plop—" An Hongling suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
While He Yinshuang was distracted, she splashed the milk in her hand onto An Hongling's face.
"Little bitch, you're crazy..."
"He-Yin-Shuang! What are you doing?" Lin Zhiyuan's gritting teeth voice came from the corner of the stairs.
"I... I didn't!" He Yinshuang looked at Lin Zhiyuan's furious face, her hand shook with anger and the cup fell to the ground.
"Auntie, I just can't get used to drinking milk. Why do you want to humiliate me as a lowly person? Can I only be superior if I drink milk? What's the logic behind this?"
Kneeling on the ground, An Hongling looked aggrieved and stubborn, with tears on her face but unable to fall, which made Lin Zhiyuan feel heartbroken.
"Good boy, get up quickly~"
An Hongling was helped up with tears in her eyes. Her face was covered with milk and she looked so miserable and pitiful.
"He Yinshuang, I thought you had really changed and figured out how to be nice to your daughter. Is this how you treat her?" Lin Zhiyuan stared at He Yinshuang with disappointment in his eyes.
He Yinshuang was angry and anxious: "It's not me. I gave her milk out of kindness, but she spilled it on herself..."
"That's enough! I saw you splashing water on Hong Ling and swearing at her. You are not worthy of being a mother. You don't have to worry about the family celebration. From today on, your monthly pocket money will stop!"
