Chapter 125 Why are you so disobedient?

The woman's voice was so loud that all the customers in the store could hear it clearly.

Although there were not many people in the store, they were all wealthy ladies who loved this kind of rich show the most.

Look, none of them are picky about clothes, they are all looking over here.

Meng Zhiyi stood beside Meng's mother, looking at the mother and daughter who walked in with a teasing look.

They were dressed fashionably, adorned with gold and silver jewellery, almost as if they were turning themselves into jewellery stands.

Although she didn't recognize the face, she guessed the person's identity from the fact that the woman called Meng's mother "cousin".

Meng Mu came from a scholarly family, the Yuan family.

The Yuan family had three top scholars in their ancestry, and most of the clan members were civil officials. The family rules were strict and they had extremely high expectations for their children.

Meng's mother Yuan Huiying is a typical example. She was bound by various rules since she was a child and was trained to be a lady from a noble family in ancient feudal society. She also set high demands on herself.

Similarly, Meng Mu's requirements for her children also continued the Yuan family's set of requirements, considering the reputation of her husband's family more important than anything else.

Therefore, Meng Zhiyi's series of actions after returning to the Meng family had seriously touched Meng's mother's bottom line, which led her to give up her daughter invisibly.

The person in front of you is Li Ping, the wife of Meng Mu’s cousin Yuan Bolin.

Unlike Meng's mother who was originally the daughter of a noble family, the woman in front of him used means to get to the top and married Yuan Bolin.

Meng Zhiyi first glanced at Meng's mother beside him, and seeing that her face was very ugly, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

[As far as I can remember, the last time she took me out and I was ridiculed, Ms. Yuan scolded me when she got home.]

[Hmm...what will happen this time? I'm a little looking forward to it.]

[How about adding fuel to the fire for Ms. Yuan? ]

Before Meng's mother could stop him, she heard Meng Zhiyi sneer, "Yes, I am a wild child, but it's better than you climbing into the bed of your best friend's fiancé and giving birth to a bastard."

"Forcing a marriage with a knife, that's great."

"hiss……"

There were gasps all around.

Yuan Bolin originally planned to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. In order to create momentum, the engagement was known to everyone in the city.

But later, someone unknown happened. The daughter of a high-ranking official unilaterally announced the cancellation of the engagement, and the marriage broke down.

At that time, Yuan Bolin did not come out to explain why, but instead held the wedding banquet in a hasty manner not long after.

If the bride hadn't been too high-profile later, no one in the circle would have known that Yuan Bolin was married.

Originally, this matter had almost been forgotten by everyone, and some even believed that Yuan Bolin and his wife were true love, and that he broke off the engagement with the daughter of a high-ranking official for the sake of his beloved.

But now that Meng Zhiyi said this, this past event that had long been forgotten by the public has been brought up again.

Meng's mother had no time to cover Meng Zhiyi's mouth, and her face was anxious and annoyed.

She knew that it was wrong for Li Ping to say that Meng Zhiyi was a wild child, but this matter was related to the reputation of the Yuan family. If she said it out loud, the Yuan family would become a laughing stock!

So, before Li Ping started to attack, Meng's mother scolded her first: "Zhiyi, shut up! Who told you to talk nonsense?"

Meng Zhiyi smiled timidly, crossed his arms, and looked at his mother sarcastically: "It's so funny, people call me a wild child, and it's ok for my mother not to protect me, but I actually want to protect her."

"Besides, whether I am talking nonsense or not, Mom knows it very well, right?"

[You can't pretend anymore. It turns out that everything you showed a while ago was fake. 】

[She acted like a loving mother, and I almost believed her. ]

[But that's fine, this way I can attract hatred without any hesitation! ]

She did not give Meng's mother a chance to speak, and continued to mock her, "She is right. I have been uneducated since I was a child because no one taught me."

"At that time, I didn't even know where my biological parents were. Every day I just fed pigs and cattle and worked in the fields. How could I have the time to receive a good education like a rich girl?"

"Oh, that's right. It's embarrassing for a daughter of a noble family like my mother to have a daughter as vulgar as me."

"But what can I do? Even if mommy dislikes me, I am still your biological daughter."

Meng Zhiyi's words were heard word for word by the audience.

People in the circle have more or less heard about the Meng family having a daughter who had been missing for many years.

Of course, these people also knew about the jokes that the predecessor had made.

It's just that I've never known in depth about the deeds of this daughter of the Meng family, so I don't know what she went through before she was found.

Although Meng Zhiyi is indeed a bit "vulgar" compared to those young masters and daughters who have received the best educational resources since childhood.

But no matter what, a mother shouldn't abandon her own child.

For a moment, there were some whispers around.

Li Ping wanted to embarrass Meng's mother from the beginning, so she brought up Meng Zhiyi, who made her look down on herself all the time.

After Meng Zhiyi told her that she had forced her son into marriage, she was briefly flustered.

But after hearing about the argument between Meng Zhiyi and Meng's mother, she simply joined the crowd and watched.

Seeing that Mother Meng looked unhappy, she also spoke in a sinister tone: "You are right. How can a mother dislike her own child? Cousin, have you been taught to be a mother like this since you were young?"

At this moment, Meng's mother felt as if a sword was pointed at her back. When she saw Meng Zhiyi's cold eyes looking at her, she felt uncomfortable.

She did it subconsciously because the family reputation was ingrained in her.

But it's definitely not that he dislikes his daughter.

"Mind your own business." Meng's mother scolded coldly, then turned around and pulled Meng Zhiyi into the VIP room.

Meng Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.

[This is not the reaction that Ms. Yuan should have. ]

[You don't scold me anymore? ]

[I am speechless. Such a good opportunity was wasted like this.]

Seeing them leave, Li Ping thought that Meng's mother was running away and felt very proud.

She shouted to Meng Mu and Meng Zhiyi's backs, "Cousin, next week is Grandpa's birthday, you must all come back then. When I get back, I'll tell Grandpa that you have to bring your daughter back this year."

Meng Zhiyi turned around and answered for her mother: "Okay, I will definitely go."

In the VIP room, Meng's mother looked at Meng Zhiyi without saying a word.

[Tsk, are you embarrassed by the crowds just now, so you are preparing to scold me here? ]

[Let me hear how you'll scold me this time.]

[Don't talk about manners again. I don't have those things. ]

Meng Zhiyi sat on the sofa, waiting leisurely for her mother's scolding.

But after waiting for a long time, Meng's mother didn't say anything.

【Don’t scold me? 】

[Still can't find the words for a while? ]

Mother Meng listened to her thoughts and felt sad.

So, all this time has been wasted?

Because of her subconscious reaction just now, the gap between mother and daughter became even deeper.

The two were silent.

After a while, Meng Mu sighed and said, "Zhiyi, sometimes we don't have to fight for our dignity."

"People like Li Ping, who used dirty tricks to marry your cousin, are not good people. We don't need to bother with her."

Meng Zhi smiled sarcastically and said, "That must have disappointed my mother. I can't stand the slightest bit of anger. If she makes me unhappy, I will make her unhappy."

"So, even if there is a next time, I will fight back in the same way."

"I won't be like my mother, who would be bullied for nothing just for the sake of worthless face."

Meng's mother was rendered speechless by her words. She looked as if her dignity as an elder was challenged and a trace of displeasure appeared on her face.

"Why are you so disobedient?"
