Ding Huizhu was stunned, feeling a void in her heart.
She understood Ding Ruoxu's meaning. Ding Ruoxu wanted her to only acknowledge Xie Ziyuan in front of everyone, which was equivalent to not acknowledging Xie Li as her biological daughter.
She had this intention, so until now, she has not asked the clan to compile a genealogy and record Xie Li's name in it.
But Ding Ruoxu said it so bluntly and directly, and she instantly felt like she was about to lose something.
Before she could answer, her phone rang suddenly.
Ding Huizhu composed herself and answered the phone.
But soon, her expression changed drastically: "What? You're saying Xie Li injured the teaching assistant and the security guard, and then ran away with Jiang Qing?"
Like a thunderclap in the summer, it struck her right in the ear, and Ding Huizhu almost couldn't catch her breath.
Ding Ruoxu quickly got up, took her hand, and gently pressed her blood vessels twice to help her regulate her breathing.
A cold smile played in his eyes as he spoke slowly and deliberately in Ding Huizhu's ear: "Look at her, she can't even get into a socialite training class, and she even injured a teacher and corrupted others. Are you really going to let her ruin the reputation of our Ding family?"
If the Xie family formally acknowledges Xie Li, and even holds a family reunion banquet for her, the Ding family, as Ding Huizhu's maternal family, would have to send gifts and attend, even if they wanted to distance themselves from the relationship, and reluctantly acknowledge Xie Li as their niece.
But if even the Xie family refuses to formally acknowledge Xie Li, then the Ding family can simply turn a blind eye and pretend they know nothing.
Xie Li should not even dream of climbing the social ladder by associating with the Ding family or riding on their coattails.
Ding Huizhu gradually calmed down, but felt that her heart could not take it.
Two hours earlier, she had sent Xie Li to that training school, and she still felt a little guilty, reflecting on whether she had been too strict with Xie Li.
At this moment, he secretly regretted that he was not strict enough. With Xie Li's rebellious and unruly nature, if he didn't correct her, he didn't know how much trouble she would bring to the Xie family and the Ding family in the future!
Let her humble herself and go to Madam Li, admitting that it's already shameful enough that she has such a failed daughter.
I never expected there would be something even more embarrassing.
Just now, on the phone, Mrs. Li was still sarcastically saying, "Mrs. Xie, I told you that your daughter needed to be disciplined, but you didn't believe me. Now look what's happened. Qingyu has been so well-behaved lately, but she's managed to get her to follow along."
"Those from the countryside are just vulgar and uncouth, they can't be served in a proper manner!"
"Qingyu is nowhere to be found, and she's pregnant with our Li family's child. Your Xie family must give me an explanation!"
Each word and phrase was like a whip lashing Ding Huizhu's face, making her so ashamed that she could hardly lift her head.
It took her a while to catch her breath. With trembling fingers, she called out to Sister Wan, "Quick, call Xie Li and ask her where she is now!"
After a pause, he said to Ding Ruoxu, "Brother, you're right. Ziyuan's eighteenth birthday banquet must be a grand affair, a magnificent celebration!"
As for what Xie Li might be thinking? Would he feel wronged or embarrassed?
Hasn't she embarrassed others enough? Why should Ziyuan make way for her?!
In that instant, Ding Huizhu felt a surge of anger and resentment, and her slight guilt towards Xie Li vanished completely, leaving only a chilling feeling.
She shouldn't have given birth to this daughter in the first place!
——
Xie Li was unaware that the outside world was already in an uproar over the search for her and Jiang Qing.
The Xishan Sanatorium is not far from the Traditional Chinese Medicine base, and a car will soon come to pick up Xie Li.
