Li Jumei really didn't know, and she didn't even think about finding out who took Song Jiaojiao to Beijing to meet her relatives. The reason was simple: what difference would it make if she knew?
Since Song Jiaojiao already had other thoughts and was willing to be an ingrate rather than have anything to do with their family anymore, even if she had known this would happen in advance and forced Song Jiaojiao to stay by her side, she could only keep her body but not her heart.
And things are fine as they are now.
Lanlan, her own daughter, didn't look down on her and her husband because they were from the countryside. She was willing to acknowledge them as family, and since then, she has been very filial to them and loving to her brothers. As a mother, she is truly satisfied with this.
Why bother with that ungrateful wretch Song Jiaojiao anymore?!
Thinking of this, Li Jumei said, "No matter who was gossiping in her ear and taking her to Beijing to meet relatives, it has nothing to do with our family anymore. Your father and I have no intention of pursuing it."
"Mom, you and Dad are right to think this way. Given our current life, there's really no need to think about people who are unrelated to our family."
But knowing who it is is always better than being kept in the dark. I'm saying this because I don't want you and Dad to feel guilty when you think about that incident.
Song Lan smiled and calmly recounted how Song Jiaojiao came to Beijing to reunite with her relatives, and the detailed process of the reunion. Finally, she said:
“Mom, Dad, actually, Song Jiaojiao came to the village last year to work in the countryside because she wanted to become Chen Dongze’s girlfriend. Chen Dongze and I dated for a while, and I’ve told you about that before.”
Song Sanhe and his wife nodded in unison, and then Song Lan continued, "But Song Jiaojiao chased him all the way to the countryside, yet she still couldn't get what she wanted."
So she felt it was all my fault, that I was the one at fault, that my existence prevented her from being with Chen Dongze.
"She's probably mentally ill."
Li Jumei's eyes were full of disdain: "With her character, no boy likes her, and instead of looking for the reason within herself, she..."
Instead, they're blaming you for it, Lanlan. You'd better be careful, don't let that ingrate have any bad intentions or schemes against you.
"Mom, Song Jiaojiao can't outsmart me."
Song Lan spoke casually with a smile, but the smile vanished the next moment, and she said solemnly:
"If she can't scheme against me one after another, given Song Jiaojiao's character, she will definitely scheme against the people around me, including my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as our family members."
I'm not exaggerating, nor am I overestimating Song Jiaojiao's abilities. It's just that you can't guard against a thief forever, especially since Song Jiaojiao is scheming. Who knows, the person she's targeting might fall into her trap.
"You told us before to be wary of that ingrate, could it be that she really wants to target our family?"
Li Jumei's face was very unpleasant: "After raising them for so long, we've ended up with an enemy. They're utterly heartless!"
"Mom, Song Jiaojiao is trying to scheme against our family. To put it bluntly, she doesn't want me to have an easy time. I'm the one who brought trouble upon our family. I'm sorry!"
Song Lan looked guilty: "I never expected her to have such a stubborn side. Just because of a man, she's determined to make things difficult for me."
To be honest, I really hate Song Jiaojiao! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my adoptive parents' house, and she spoke to me without any restraint. I then physically assaulted her.
In short, Song Jiaojiao is the kind of person who never learns her lesson. Counting the time I hit her on New Year's Day, I can't even remember how many times I've slapped her.
Looking at Song Sanhe and then at Li Jumei, Song Lan's voice came out again: "I'm saying all this just to tell you that there's no need to get angry over anything Song Jiaojiao does, but you must be more wary of her."
Although the machine factory isn't far from our home, it's unrealistic for me to be by your side immediately if anything happens to you. Besides, I want everyone in our family to be safe and sound, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt because of Song Jiaojiao's schemes."
Li Jumei: "Don't worry, your father and I will never let that ingrate into our house, and we will never associate with her in our daily lives."
Song Sanhe nodded; clearly, his thoughts were the same as Li Jumei's.
"Song Jiaojiao's thought process is different from that of ordinary people. Take the example of how she couldn't catch up with Chen Dongze and instead resented me. She never looks for the reasons within herself, but only blames others for her misfortunes."
If you and Dad continue to dislike each other, she will only resent you more, even hate you more. In that case, she will undoubtedly be more inclined to scheme against you, causing you to do this or that to vent her dissatisfaction.
Song Sanhe frowned: "So you're saying that your mother and I are helpless against her and can only wait to be schemed against?"
To be honest, Song Sanhe didn't want to believe that the girl he once cherished was the same person Song Lan described—hideous and vicious.
However, the truth left him no choice but to believe what Song Lan said.
Otherwise, how could Song Jiaojiao have been so ruthless in the matter of recognizing her relatives?!
She said the most hurtful things, and there was absolutely no affection in her eyes for him and his wife; all she showed was condescension.
"Dad, what I mean is to be wary of Song Jiaojiao and not to trust others easily. For example, if someone tells you and Mom that something has happened to my eldest brother, second brother, or youngest brother,..."
"They told you to hurry up and go check somewhere, or someone might have sent a message to my older brother and the others for the same reason, saying that you and Mom had an accident somewhere..."
Song Lan used an analogy, which left Song Sanhe and Li Jumei stunned. Seeing that the two didn't quite believe such a thing could happen, Song Lan couldn't help but say:
"We may not be able to harm others, but we must be wary of them. Otherwise, we never know when something terrible might happen."
Just like the scene in the drama where Song Jiaojiao schemes against Song Qingbin.
"It seems your father and I not only raised an ungrateful wretch, we raised a vicious beast!"
Li Jumei gritted her teeth as she spoke, wishing she could strangle Song Jiaojiao immediately so that her family wouldn't have to constantly be on guard against the other party's schemes.
At the same time, in Beijing.
The residential area for employees and their families at the steel plant.
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."
Song Jiaojiao entered the living room and noticed that she had carefully groomed herself. She looked at Luo Yueqin, and before the other could respond,
Then she turned and walked towards the living room door. Seeing this, Luo Yueqin asked impatiently, "You're leaving in two days. Instead of packing your things at home, where are you going in this cold weather?"
Before Song Jiaojiao could speak, Song Ning sneered, "She's probably going to see Comrade Chen. Mom, I think you and Dad should give up on the idea of climbing up to the Chen family."
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but with my sister's looks and her terrible temper, even if she chased after him for three or five years, Comrade Chen probably wouldn't even look at her."
