Liu Qianmei's mind stirred.
With her mother as a shield, Shu Mowan probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her; perhaps she could still rely on her...
Before she could finish fantasizing about a bright future, Fu Rong said, "Even if Ms. Liu passes away one day, it's probably unrealistic for Madam Yu to rely on her to escape Shu Mowan's revenge."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianmei suddenly realized what was happening, and her dream of using her mother to climb up the social ladder to the Shu family shattered instantly.
Given Shu Mowan's ungrateful nature, she would never allow the Yu family to grow stronger; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken advantage of the Shu family's influence to snatch several major projects from the Yu family.
"Madam Yu, please don't think I'm being nosy. I'm only telling you this because Shu Mowan has forced me to walk on thin ice and I'm afraid you'll fall into a trap."
Fu Rong said, "If you think I'm exaggerating, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, I'm old and not of much use to the family. My son and daughter-in-law are willing to make up for what they owe Shu Mowan by making me suffer."
After saying that, she pretended to glance at her watch. "The banquet is about to start, I have to go in first, otherwise my good son will misunderstand that I don't like Shu Mowan, and we'll argue again when we get home. She hasn't been recognized by the Shu family for long, and my son and I have already had several arguments because of her."
She talked as she walked.
After Fu Rong walked away, Yu Morao gently grasped Liu Qianmei's hand: "Mom, can we believe what she said?"
Liu Qianmei stared at Fu Rong's back for a few seconds before turning her gaze away and coldly saying, "Rao Rao, whether you believe it or not is another matter, but she's right about one thing: once Shu Mowan really settles down in the Shu family, the Yu family will definitely not have a good time."
So while her biological mother was still alive, she had to find a way to make the Shu family hate Shu Mowan.
As for how much he dislikes it?
Ruining Shu Mowan's reputation is definitely the fastest shortcut.
Which prominent family would want a socialite with a tarnished reputation?
Absolutely not.
Yu Morao tightened her grip on Liu Qianmei's hand slightly, frowning as she asked, "Mom, what should we do? Now that my sister is the daughter of the Shu family, can we still handle her?"
The Shu family—that was a family she never even dared to dream of.
"Why can't we deal with it?"
Liu Qianmei snorted, "Even if she becomes the daughter of the Shu family, she is still the daughter I once raised. Do you think she can kill me?"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if she has this idea, she will still consider my mother's feelings."
This is also why she dared to be so presumptuous towards Shu Mowan.
Yu Morao hesitated for a moment: "Mom, is Grandma really that important to my sister?"
"She was a bit ungrateful to me, but she was really good to your grandmother."
Despite her dislike for Shu Mowan, Liu Qianmei had to admit how much she cared for her mother-in-law. "When it comes to filial piety towards your grandmother, I can't even compare to one-tenth of her."
After hearing this, Yu Morao understood.
It's good that Shu Mowan has a weakness; otherwise, if they recklessly attack her, they might end up being killed by her instead.
"Rao Rao, don't worry, with Mom here, I won't let her threaten the Yu family."
Liu Qianmei comforted Yu Morao.
Since Shu Mowan became the daughter of the Shu family, and she couldn't let the Yu family benefit from it, she would rather destroy it.
"Let's not talk about her for now; the banquet is more important."
Liu Qianmei still remembered the purpose of sneaking into the Yang family mansion today. "Rao Rao, today we are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. You must seize the opportunity. As long as you can snag a rich husband, you will not only become a person of high status for the rest of your life, but the Yu family will also benefit. Do you understand?"
Yu Mo Rao had heard her say this countless times, and her ears were practically calloused, but on the surface, she still had to patiently agree with her.
Upon entering the banquet hall, Yu Morao looked around but didn't see Shu Mowan. Instead, she noticed Fu Rong, who was surrounded by many people, and whispered, "Mom, are we going to Old Madam Shu's side?"
"If everyone sees that we are familiar with her, we are more likely to snag a rich husband."
She whispered a reminder in her ear.
Liu Qianmei thought it made sense and was about to take Yu Morao over when the host's enthusiastic and lively voice came from the stage.
After speaking into the microphone, he pointed upstairs and said, "Let's welcome Mr. Yang and Miss Shu downstairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights were turned off, leaving only a beam of light shining upstairs.
Old Yang, dressed in a Tang suit, appeared with Shu Mowan, who looked like a fairy. The two walked downstairs side by side. The crowd, who had been whispering, fell silent when they saw Shu Mowan's face.
Although some of them had seen Shu Mowan before, she still amazed them with her fairy-like appearance.
She was so beautiful it was an adjective.
"I am very happy that everyone can take time out of their busy schedules to attend the banquet celebrating my goddaughter's birth."
Old Yang led Shu Mowan onto the stage and said with a hearty laugh, "Everyone knows that my wife and I have several sons. We couldn't even have a daughter, and even our grandchildren are all boys. Every time we see a little girl dressed up so nicely, we are extremely envious."
"I thought I was destined to never have a daughter in this life, but then Wanwan appeared and even agreed to be my goddaughter. Now I don't have to envy those who have daughters anymore."
He chuckled and said, "I have to thank Brother Shu and his wife for this. If they hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have been able to meet such a wonderful goddaughter."
Everyone looked at Shu Chuxiao and Yun Yun, and they all envied them for having such a wonderful daughter.
This time, it was thanks to their daughter that the Shu and Yang families were able to form a powerful alliance.
This is a wonderful thing that many people have been hoping for.
"Now you all know that Wanwan is my daughter, so you're not allowed to bully her behind my back, or I won't stand for it."
Mr. Yang made a joke, which made the audience laugh.
"Old Yang, with you keeping her in check, how dare we bully her?"
