Upon hearing Li Muchen's words, Liang Xunling's expression instantly turned ugly.
If it were in the past, Liang Xunling would definitely have dragged Li Muchen over and given him a good beating, but now, she held back.
Liang Xunling took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calmly speaking to Li Muchen:
"Whether they come or not is their business, whether we go or not is our business. If they are impolite and lack courtesy, we cannot be impolite and give others a handle to talk behind our backs."
Liang Xunling used to be mostly willful and reckless, but now she has learned to think things through before acting.
"So, for the sake of saving face, do we have to play along with their act of 'harmony brings prosperity'?"
Li Muchen asked in return, looking completely bewildered.
Ever since hearing the recording his older brother Li Muxing played for him, Li Muchen has become extremely disgusted with his maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts.
I just think they're incredibly hypocritical.
All the concern and care she showed him before was just an act.
They only did this because he is the young master of the Li family.
In their eyes, money is far more important than family ties.
My older brother is absolutely right.
If Mom hadn't married Dad and hadn't become the young mistress of the Li family, but had married a very ordinary person, she wouldn't have been able to give Grandpa and Grandma so much living expenses every month.
My maternal grandparents must have given up on my mother as their daughter a long time ago.
For them, their second daughter was someone who was dispensable.
To put it bluntly, the only reason Liang Xunling still has a family is because she can bring them financial assistance.
"This is not only for their sake, but also for the sake of the Li family's reputation."
Liang Xunling said calmly and matter-of-factly, "Do you really want others to speak ill of the Li family behind our backs?"
Upon hearing this, Li Muchen was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "So... you're taking us to your uncle's engagement ceremony for the sake of the Li family?"
“Otherwise what? I am now a daughter-in-law of the Li family, so of course I have to consider the Li family in every way.” Liang Xunling said solemnly.
"Mom, are you out of your mind?" Li Muchen blurted out.
Liang Xunling's fist hardened slightly, but she still suppressed the urge to hit someone, her brow furrowing slightly.
"How can you talk to your own mother like that?"
"no……"
Li Muchen frowned slightly. "Didn't you always say that since your surname is Liang, even if you get married, you're still a member of the Liang family? You also often scolded Dad and us, saying that we're from the Li family and that we'll never be on your side, and that only your maternal family are your family and relatives?"
Liang Xunling used to say these things all the time, which always made Li Qirui and the three children very angry.
It seems that for Liang Xunling, her husband and children are dispensable.
Li Muchen once thought that if he and his uncle fell into the water at the same time, his mother would definitely save his uncle without hesitation.
In Liang Xunling's heart, her younger brother was indeed more important than her son.
"Um...did I often say things like that before?"
Liang Xunling was speechless for a moment, then blinked blankly.
She doesn't seem to remember.
Li Muchen jumped up from the sofa excitedly and said accusingly, "Yeah! You say it almost every day! I even seriously doubted whether my brother, my younger brother and I were really your biological children?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Xunling's eyes flickered, and she quickly and sincerely apologized to Li Muchen: "I'm sorry, it was Mom who was confused. Now Mom knows her mistake and has corrected it. I hope to get your forgiveness!"
"..."
Seemingly not expecting his mother to apologize to him, Li Muchen was visibly stunned for a moment.
He was somewhat flattered, but took the opportunity to speak his true feelings:
"Apologize... there's no need to apologize. You... just be more careful in the future! Although the three of us brothers have grown up, we are still children after all, and our hearts are very fragile. Please don't say those things again and hurt our young hearts."
"Okay! Mom understands!"
Liang Xunling readily agreed and gave Li Muchen a gentle smile.
"..."
Li Muchen stared in astonishment, pressing his lips into a straight line.
His heart was filled with indescribable complex emotions, and he couldn't help but have doubts—
Is there really nothing wrong with Mom's mind?
...
Liang Xunling's younger brother, Liang Jiayue, is getting engaged.
As Liang Feng and Li Shuping's only beloved son, the Liang family clearly wanted to make their son's engagement ceremony more lively and grand.
Also, to enhance their own reputation, Liang Feng and Li Shuping discussed it and specially sent an invitation to the old man of the Li family, sincerely inviting him and the Li family to attend Liang Jiayue's engagement ceremony.
"Why should Grandpa go to my aunt's brother's engagement? Why don't my uncle and aunt just take my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother with them?"
The fourth sister, Li Muhan, frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
"Perhaps the Liang family is just more enthusiastic!" Fifth Brother Li Mufeng replied casually, his eyes brightening noticeably. "But there's no harm in attending the engagement ceremony; at least we can sit down and eat at the banquet!"
The sixth brother, Li Mushen, turned to look at the fifth brother, Li Mufeng, and said with a smile, "Fifth brother must really want to go. He told me a couple of days ago that he wanted to attend the banquet."
The seventh child, Li Mujun, snorted arrogantly, "I don't want to go at all, and whether we can go or not depends on what Grandpa thinks."
