Yao Qingru lowered her head. "I was only three years old at that time, and I don't remember many things. Maybe it really wasn't Brother Nanluo."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mei Nanluo's stepmother, Mo Juan, immediately said, "Qingru, you're too young to remember, but we adults do. Don't worry, our Mei family has long considered you our daughter-in-law."
Mei Nanluo hated Mo Juan's hypocritical look the most: "Then you should let Mei Beiqi marry her."
"How do you talk to your mother like that?" the head of the Mei family scolded angrily.
Mei Nanluo was too lazy to refute the head of the Mei family. He just lay on the sofa and swiped the screen of his mobile phone with one hand. After seeing the message sent by Luo Yuan, he glanced towards the balcony and saw Shi Ling's head retracted, which looked a bit like the ragdoll cat he raised.
Thinking of his fellow junior brothers and sisters and the cats and dogs, Mei Nanluo's originally irritable mood gradually improved.
"What's the matter, Aunt Mo? Do you also think that the disfigured Yao Qingru is not worthy of your precious son?" Mei Nanluo sneered.
Mo Juan naturally thought so, but she couldn't afford to offend the Yao family. "Qingru is beautiful and intelligent, many times better than Beiqi. If she liked Beiqi, I would definitely let Beiqi marry her, but she chose you. Nanluo, I know you don't like me as your stepmother, but you and Beiqi are the same in my heart. You are both my sons. I won't favor anyone."
"Did you hear that? Brat, stop being prejudiced against your Aunt Mo. Your mother passed away early, and your Aunt Mo has done more for you over the years than your mother has." The head of the Mei family scolded.
Mei Nanluo sneered and turned to Yao Qingru, saying, "Did you hear that? Mei Beiqi is willing to marry you. Don't you understand what's going on with the Mei family now? Even my dad listens to Aunt Mo. I've been driven to live in a Taoist temple all these years and can't even go back home. From now on, Mei Beiqi will definitely inherit the Mei family's property. If you follow me, you'll be eating dirt."
Yao Qingru was slightly stunned.
The head of the Mei family and Mo Juan's faces turned dark.
The head of the Yao family narrowed his eyes and looked at Mei Nanluo thoughtfully.
The marriage between the Yao and Mei families was inevitable, and he was willing to follow his daughter's wishes and let her marry Mei Nanluo. However, he did not want his daughter to suffer after marriage.
Mei Nanluo reached out and touched her face. "I know you're attracted to my face. I admit, Mei Beiqi isn't as good-looking as me. But aren't most wealthy families' marriages nowadays all about playing with each other? Don't look at how respectable my dad is, he's got a mistress outside. Judging by his appearance, I reckon he'll have a younger brother soon. Don't look at how gentle my stepmother is and how much she seems to love my dad, she's got a young hunk outside. Oh yeah, I remember that hunk's name was Luo Zhaoxing, and I think he's one of your fans?"
Shi Ling and Luo Yuan, who were hiding on the balcony, said: !! Is this something they can hear?
Yao Qingru was bombarded with this series of news, especially Mei Nanluo's last sentence, which was a critical blow to her.
Her reaction this time was much more intense than the previous tea conversation, "Impossible!"
Mo Juan was shocked. She hadn't expected Mei Nanluo to come home prepared, even having a private detective investigate her beforehand. Furthermore, she had no idea Mei Cheng had an illegitimate child?!
Mo Juan suppressed her shock and showed an aggrieved expression on her face, "Nanluo, how have I wronged you that you have to slander me like this? Luo Zhaoxing is just the spokesperson for our company's products. Mom is in charge of this area and only has some business contacts with him. Meicheng, you also know about this."
Mei Cheng was a little shocked and angry at first, but when he saw that Mo Juan's grievance did not seem fake, and he also remembered that this was indeed the case, he calmed down, but the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart.
