Lin's mother's favorite daughter was Lin Yushu. When she saw her daughter being beaten so badly, she went straight to her house.
"Are you Gu Qingning?"
When they arrived at Gu Qingning's house, Lin's mother immediately looked at the woman in front of her and instantly revealed a look of disdain.
This Gu Qingning is indeed quite pretty, no wonder she is so arrogant.
However, Mrs. Lin had already inquired about it. Gu Qingning's family background was very ordinary, and her household registration was not in Beijing. Apart from her good looks, she had nothing. How could a woman like this be worthy of Lu Changqing?
Gu Qingning didn't bother to pay any attention to this unfriendly woman.
She had originally just come out to hang out some clothes, but she didn't expect to meet Mrs. Lin. It was really bad luck.
Without saying a word, she turned around and prepared to walk into the house.
Madam Lin was stunned for a moment. She quickly blocked Gu Qingning's way and said, "How rude of you! I am your elder after all, and you don't even listen to me. If this had happened a few years ago, you would have been punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall!"
Mrs. Lin looked down on Gu Qingning and wanted to teach her a lesson.
But Gu Qingning ignored her and turned around and went back to her room.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she went up to her and grabbed her hand: "Gu Qingning, do you understand what it means to respect the elderly and love the young?"
Gu Qingning raised her head and sneered at her: "How can you be considered my elder? You and I are not related at all. If we really want to talk about it, even though I'm younger, I might be dozens of times older than you!"
Mrs. Lin had never heard of such a fallacy before and was suddenly speechless.
Gu Qingning immediately pulled her hand out and hit her hand hard again.
Mrs. Lin felt pain and finally let go of her arm.
Gu Qingning continued, "Don't think you can bully a pretty young girl just because you see her. Don't take advantage of your age and seniority! Let me tell you, just because you're older doesn't mean you're someone's elder. If we really talk about seniority, maybe you'll have to call me grandma! Come on, my dear granddaughter, call me grandma properly!"
Mrs. Lin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and her face instantly became gloomy.
"Gu Qingning, do you have any shame? I've never seen such an uneducated girl like you! How did your parents raise you? You're such a jerk! Born by a mother but never raised by one!"
Mrs. Lin's voice was very loud, and she came here to make trouble on purpose to embarrass Gu Qingning, so there were a lot of people watching around.
Gu Qingning felt no waves in her heart and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
However, she saw the director of women's affairs approaching from afar, and a plan suddenly came to her mind.
Gu Qingning suddenly covered her face and sobbed, "Mrs. Lin, my mother did die when I was very young, but she loved me very much, and my father gave me double the love!
You are obviously a mother, so why do you insult my dead mother like this? If after you die, someone points at your daughter and scolds her for having a mother who gave birth but not a mother who raised her, why don't you think about how sad your child will be? After you die, hearing these words, can you still close your eyes in peace?
These words were spoken in a manner that sounded very aggrieved, but when one listened carefully, they were extremely awkward.
Mrs. Lin was stunned. She didn't expect that this woman could scold her in such a roundabout way and her tone could be so weak.
"How dare you curse me to death!"
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she raised her hand high and slapped him.
Before Gu Qingning could hold her hand, the director of women's affairs had already reached the door and forcibly pulled her back.
"Mrs. Lin, Qing Ning has lost her mother since she was a child. What you said is really too much. They say you shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings when you criticize them. Why are you rubbing salt into their wounds?"
Mrs. Lin was about to explode with rage: "What do you mean I'm rubbing salt into someone's wounds? Look at this little girl, she's full of nonsense and she wants to be my grandmother!
A child like this, without a mother to teach her since childhood, is so lawless! Today I will come on her mother's behalf and educate her properly! "
Director Zhang's expression suddenly turned a little ugly.
"Mrs. Lin, what you said is wrong. Everyone should take care of their own affairs. It's up to them to teach their own children. You have no relationship with her, and you are not her elder, so it's not your turn to teach her!"
Mrs. Lin laughed in anger and said, "What, Director Zhang, are you going to stand on his side too?"
Director Zhang immediately flattered him tactfully, "Madam, look at what you said. Even if I were in charge of everything, I wouldn't dare to interfere with you! However, as far as I know, General Lin might still be promoted during this period. It's really not a good idea to make a big deal about this matter. If someone really reports it..."
The anger on Mrs. Lin's face slowly faded away.
Her face was still very ugly, but she also knew what was important and what was not.
If this matter gets out of hand, the Lin family will definitely be punished.
Director Zhang winked. "Besides, Madam, you're a great person who doesn't care about small mistakes. Why do you have to argue with a child in his twenties? There's still a lot of time to come, and it's not about the gains and losses of the moment!"
Mrs. Lin's expression was still very ugly. She turned around and glared at Gu Qingning fiercely.
"Today, for Director Zhang's sake, I'll let you go. We'll see what happens!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "It turns out that the so-called deep love between mother and daughter cannot withstand the future of a man. He came with great momentum and left in disgrace!
I have been without a mother since I was a child, and I thought that in such a situation, a mother would do everything in her power to protect her daughter!
It turns out that this little bit of mother-daughter affection still can't outweigh the gains and losses!"
Mrs. Lin was instantly enraged again and wished she could come back and slap her again.
Director Zhang gave her a reproachful look and motioned her to go back quickly.
Gu Qingning appreciated her kindness and immediately turned around and left.
But Mrs. Lin was very angry.
After returning home, Mrs. Lin recounted everything she had heard that day.
Her original intention was to let General Lin punish Gu Qingning and Lu Changqing quickly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, General Lin was not angry, but instead burst out laughing.
"This little girl is quite interesting. Her eloquence and skills are quite good!"
Mrs. Lin was furious. "She's so uneducated, and you actually think she's eloquent? If your daughter was so uneducated, would you not whip her?"
General Lin silently picked up the teacup: "She's not wrong. She's the wife that Lu Changqing married with a formal matchmaker. If you really want to say it, she's more right!"
Mrs. Lin firmly disagreed: "What if Lu Changqing also looks down on her?"
