Li Jiating walked into the living room, "Su Qingmeng, you really are back?"
Su Qingmeng frowned, "I came to see Mom." She had a very bad impression of the original owner's stepsister. After the original owner's grandparents passed away, she moved to her mother's house, and this stepsister often made things difficult for her.
"I thought you'd forgotten about your mother," Li Jiating said sarcastically. "I heard you got into university?"
"Li Jiating, isn't my mother your mother? She has been taking care of you since you were a child. So? Did my mother raise an ungrateful person?" Her words were harsh, and Su Qingmeng was not polite either. The original owner had suffered a lot of bullying in this family, but Su's mother had always favored this stepsister.
Li Zhengfeng scolded, "Jia Ting, please speak properly."
Li Jiating shut up reluctantly. She looked at Su Qingmeng's family and felt unbalanced. Why was she living so well now?
Su Qingmeng continued, "I was admitted to Peking University. Li Jiating, what about you? I heard you also took the college entrance examination? Which university did you go to?"
She did it on purpose. She knew that Li Jiating had failed the college entrance exam, and the three children of the Li family did not have good academic performance. She knew that the one who started it first was the one who was the most despicable. Since she was looking for trouble, Su Qingmeng didn't have to be polite, and she didn't have to care about anyone's face.
Li Jiating was furious. She hadn't expected Su Qingmeng to be like this now. What if she got into university? She was just a poor wretch that no one wanted. She rolled her eyes and said to Su's mother, "Mom, I want to eat eel for lunch."
Although Mother Su felt a little uncomfortable because of what she had just said, she still agreed and said, "I'll go out and buy it later."
Li Jiating looked at Su Qingmeng proudly. So what if she was her stepmother's biological daughter? Her stepmother was on her side. Su Qingmeng's expression remained unchanged. She was not the original owner and had no expectations of Su's mother.
Mother Su waved at Kang Kang, "Your name is Lin Heng, right? This is the first time Grandma sees you." She took out ten yuan and said, "Here, buy some candy."
Seeing Kang Kang looking over, Su Qingmeng nodded at him, and Kang Kang thanked him: "Thank you, grandma!"
"What a polite child! How old is he?"
Kang Kang said: "I am four years old this year."
Li Zhengfeng spoke to Lin Xiuyao: "Xiao Lin, where do you work?"
Lin Xiuyao: "I opened a clothing company."
Li Jiating looked at him. She didn't expect that the man Su Qingmeng married was so handsome and promising. When she thought of her own husband who was already bald and fat, she felt extremely jealous.
After chatting for a while, they ran out of things to say. Mother Su said, "Let's eat here at noon! I'm going to buy some groceries."
Su Qingmeng stood up and said, "No, please don't bother. We have something to do this afternoon, so we won't eat here."
She put the things she brought on the table and said, "I brought you some wine and snacks, now we're leaving." Lin Xiuyao also followed with Kang Kang, ignoring the Li family's attempts to keep them.
Mother Su sent the three of them downstairs. Looking at the backs of Su Qingmeng's family as they walked away, she felt that her daughter had become unfamiliar after all. When she came back this time, the look in her eyes no longer had the same expectation and admiration as before.
She recalled how happy she and her daughter were when they were born, and how much they looked forward to what she would look like when she grew up. But, thinking of her resolute yet gentle ex-husband, her heart ached. Good people always have short lives. Her ex-husband was gone, and she had also lost the daughter he left behind.
"Mom," Wang Zhu called her, "Why are you standing here? Go buy some vegetables." Her sister-in-law still wanted to eat eels, so she rolled her eyes secretly.
"Let's go." Mother Su collected her thoughts and walked in another direction.
Here, Su Qingmeng met an unexpected person, Zhou Lanlan, the original owner's toxic best friend. She had forgotten about this person. "Zhou Lanlan, you are here too."
Zhou Lanlan looked unnatural. She looked at the bright and beautiful Su Qingmeng, and then looked at herself who was still dusty despite wearing new clothes. The gap between the two was obvious.
Zhou Lanlan felt unfair. Why could Su Qingmeng live so well? I heard that she was admitted to university. She deliberately said in front of Lin Xiuyao: "Qingmeng, did you see Senior Zhao after you went to the countryside? You went to the countryside for her in the first place..." She deliberately covered her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Qingmeng's partner, please don't misunderstand me."
Lin Xiuyao didn't even look at her, "I won't misunderstand." Su Qingmeng is Su Qingmeng. What does the original owner's feelings have to do with her? He knows who he likes.
Su Qingmeng scoffed. This was just a small trick. "Zhou Lanlan, is your mind full of romantic feelings? I went to the countryside as an educated youth to build the motherland."
She looked her up and down deliberately and asked, "How come I am training in the hard countryside while you are enjoying yourself in the city and look older?" Although she didn't like to attack women's appearance, it made an exception for bad women.
Zhou Lanlan's face twisted. She looked at Su Qingmeng's pretty face, the handsome man beside her, and her lovely son, and couldn't control herself. "What are you so proud of? Senior Zhao was admitted to university and married a professor's daughter. I've seen them. They are a very loving couple." She tried to provoke Su Qingmeng.
Su Qingmeng didn't care. "Then wish him the best. My husband and I are very loving. I haven't introduced him to you yet. He and I both graduated from Peking University. He started his own company and is always very kind to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't encouraged me to go to the countryside, I wouldn't have met him."
Looking at the happy smile on Su Qingmeng's face, Zhou Lanlan couldn't help but said, "Really? Then congratulations. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Qingmeng laughed out loud, "Did you see her face? Tsk tsk, jealousy can make a person look completely different."
Lin Xiuyao was amused. She was rarely so sharp-tongued, and even when she was irritating, she had a certain charm. "Let's go. Don't bother with these insignificant people." He actually didn't like Su Qingmeng interacting with people her original self knew; he was afraid something might happen.
On the last day, they went to Guanqian Street to buy local specialties. There was a Huang Tianyuan cake shop on Guanqian Street that made cakes on the spot. Little foodie Kang Kang stopped in front of the shop and said, "Mom, I want to eat some."
