Mrs. Lin had already noticed that Mrs. Shen was not friendly to Xiao Fei when they were in the Queen store. However, since they were outside and there were so many people around, all of them wealthy ladies from the elite circle, it wouldn't be good to be too explicit. So she gave her plenty of face.
As it turned out, Mrs. Shen was not a smart person. Instead of taking the opportunity to back down, she stubbornly clung to the steps and threw a tantrum.
Mrs. Lin, with a sullen face, said coldly, "I think I don't need to consider that project you mentioned before. Our family doesn't want to cooperate with a family like Mrs. Shen's."
Madam Shen turned pale and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to, I just..."
"I know why you're targeting Xiao Fei. You have a daughter, right? She's twenty-five this year. Don't tell me about marrying a woman three years older than you being a gold mine. My Lin Que is handsome and capable. Why should he lower himself to marry an older woman?"
"..."
"I'm not trying to discourage you, but instead of spending the money you'd use on limited-edition bags, you should save it and improve your daughter. She has no class and no talent."
Xing Fei finally realized where Lin Que learned his sharp tongue from; it was exactly the same as Madam Lin's.
Madam Shen was so rebuked that she didn't dare to say a word.
Madam Lin gave a haughty snort and took Xing Fei's hand: "Girl, let's go!"
Madam Shen was naturally too ashamed to follow. Madam Jin and Madam Gong exchanged glances. Like Madam Shen, they were trying to curry favor with Madam Lin. In fact, the three of them were closer in private.
This is a choice between friends and the future of the family...
The two ladies hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately decided to abandon Madam Shen and chase after her. However, Madam Lin stopped them, saying, "No, I can't accept that."
Although neither of them said anything, they were secretly gloating when the man surnamed Shen spoke rudely to Xiao Fei.

With the three annoying kids gone, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter became much more relaxed.
Mrs. Lin rarely showed such a childlike side, her face full of pride: "Xiao Fei, wasn't Auntie so domineering just now?"
Xing Fei gave a thumbs up, showing her appreciation: "Awesome!"
"Hmph!" Madam Lin was extremely arrogant: "I didn't say anything to save them face. What can I do if they don't want me? They even want to introduce their daughter to my Lin Que? They don't even know their own family's circumstances!"
Holding Xing Fei's hand, Madam Lin said earnestly, "Feifei, you and Lin Que must get along well, you know? When you two get married, I'll specially invite those three over to make them furious!"
When Xing Fei talked about her relationship with Lin Que, her smile became somewhat awkward.
"Aunt……"
"Um?"
"Actually... Lin Que and I don't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of. We're really just ordinary friends."
Mrs. Lin treated her very well, and she couldn't bear to deceive Mrs. Lin's feelings.
“At that time, Nan Nan had some trouble. Only Lin Que knew about it. I kept bothering him just to find out what happened to Nan Nan. I wasn’t dating him. Before that, I was just clinging to him…”
Seeing that Madam Lin showed no surprise, but rather seemed overly calm, Xing Fei asked, "Auntie?"
Mrs. Lin looked at her calmly: "Is your aunt a fool?"
"ah?"
"Of course I could see that it was so simple."
They both denied it so vehemently at the time, how could she not see it?
Xing Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Then you..."
"Even though you two aren't a couple, Auntie just wants to bring you two together!"
