"Shut up! Just shut up!"
Being associated with enemy spies is Meng Xiaoying's Achilles' heel, and no one can step on it.
Seeing her screaming like crazy, Gong Linglong gave her a scornful look: "I have the mouth on my body, I can say whatever I want. Besides, everyone in the Seoul Military Region knows about your involvement with the enemy spies. Do you think you can wash away the dirty laundry just by being released?"
Her words were like countless slaps in the face of the Meng family. The faces of the Meng couple were as gloomy as ink, and Meng Xiaoying herself was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot.
Gong Linglong had long seen through her character and knew that she was full of resentment, but she didn't care at all.
The Meng family is in the limelight now. If she dares to have any bad intentions, the final result will only be that she will drag the Meng family to hell with her.
"Squeak."
The door opened from the inside and Bai Shuixian came out carrying a tray.
She was not wearing a mask today. She was wearing plain clothes and had no makeup on. Her delicate and gentle face had a unique and quiet charm. The moment Xue Hailin, who was standing at the door, saw her, his eyes brightened up a little.
"mom."
Gong Linglong immediately went to meet him.
Bai Shuixian had heard her daughter's argument with Meng Xiaoying outside and instructed her calmly, "Linglong, this is a sanatorium, a place for senior leaders to rest and recuperate. Don't argue with others here, and don't speak loudly and disturb their rest. If you have anything to say, go outside and talk."
"Okay, I understand." Gong Linglong nodded in response.
Bai Shuixian glanced at the three members of the Meng family indifferently without greeting them. She nodded politely to Xue Hailin and his wife and spoke at her usual pace: "You two, the old lady invites you in."
"Comrade Bai, thank you for your hard work." Xue Hailin smiled back.
"It is my job to take care of the old lady. I can't bear the hardship."
Bai Shuixian looked indifferent. She made way with a tray and pulled her daughter away. "Linglong, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
Peng Yuni, who was standing next to her, felt her heart tremble inexplicably the moment she came out. The last time Bai Narcissus came, she was wearing a mask and she didn't see her appearance, but today she could see it clearly.
She had to admit that Bai Shuixian was much prettier than her. They were of the same age, but this woman's appearance, temperament and figure far surpassed hers.
As women, some weird vanity and competitive spirit suddenly broke out.
But when she thought that although Bai Shuixian was beautiful, her job was to serve people, and she was divorced and had no family background, she felt inexplicably balanced in her heart.
When she turned around and was about to enter the house, she saw Xue Hailin's eyes following Bai Shuixian. Her face instantly fell and became extremely ugly. She grabbed his arm, pulled it hard, and warned him with her eyes.
Xue Hailin impatiently shook off her hand, without saying anything, and walked into the house.
He went in, and the others followed.
Old Madam Peng was sitting on the bed in the room. Although her health was not very good, her hearing was very good and she heard everything that had happened outside.
Seeing the Meng family couple coming with their daughter, she said indifferently, "Hongmei, when you came a few days ago, I told you that today is just an ordinary birthday for me. You don't need to come and celebrate. I didn't even ask my own children to come. I only notified Yuni to come and pick me up."
"Aunt, I know you're used to being simple and frugal, and you don't usually like to celebrate birthdays. We didn't come here to buy any gifts today, we just came to say hello."
A few days ago, Xiao Hongmei came to the sanatorium to see her aunt for family matters, hoping to ask the Peng family for help, but she did not agree. At that time, she had some complaints about her aunt.
Now that the old man of the Meng family has been dismissed from his post, it is like the pillar that stabilizes the Meng family has been broken.
If the Meng family wants to turn things around, they must hold on to the Peng family as a relative. Even if the Peng family doesn't like it, she has to come with a thick face.
"Aunt, you look much better these days. I heard from the nursing home staff that you can go out and walk around now and are getting healthier and healthier. We wish you a long life and a speedy recovery."
Mrs. Peng knew her purpose and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your good wishes."
Seeing Meng Xiaoying standing at the back with her head down and not saying anything after entering, Mrs. Peng asked, "Xiaoying, who was the person you just quarreled with?"
"My aunt is a military wife." Meng Xiaoying stepped forward a little.
Peng Yuni stood beside the bed and continued, "Mom, it's Bai Shuixian's daughter. She's here to look for her mom."
"oh."
Madam Peng nodded and looked at Meng Xiaoying, who still had her head bowed, and said, "Xiaoying, I've heard everything about you. It's not a bad thing to be a little spoiled and have a bad temper. Your parents can handle minor troubles for you, but when it comes to enemy spies, let alone your parents and the Meng family, we can't do anything."
"Aunt, the army has already investigated. I didn't help them do anything bad. I just knew them." Meng Xiaoying pouted and complained about her grievance.
"You know them, and we are relatives or friends. If it weren't for the Meng family protecting you, you would just be an ordinary person. Would you still have the chance to stand here today?" Old Lady Peng asked her.
Meng Xiaoying bit her lip and stopped talking.
"Don't you know what the consequences of having contact with enemy spies are?" Mrs. Peng asked again.
"Aunt, not only Xiaoying doesn't know their identities, we as the elders don't know either. It's just that Gao Xuemei is too good at hiding it." Meng's mother accused Gao Xuemei with a dark face. In fact, she was a little scared in her heart and was glad that she had no other contact with her.
"What's the point of you saying this? No matter what you say, you can't clear yourself of the connection." Mrs. Peng's voice became a little deeper.
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Peng Yuni frowned and said, "Sister Hongmei, it's useless to say these things now. I think this is your precious daughter. You should educate her more carefully."
"Her reputation in the industry is completely ruined now. Before, you were so picky, hoping to find a good, wealthy husband. Now, no young man dares to propose marriage to her. You should put more thought into this matter."
Peng Yuni's words touched Meng Xiaoying's sore spot. Tears immediately burst out of her eyes and she covered her face and sobbed.
Old Madam Peng was very averse to people crying on her birthday, and her face would immediately become very ugly.
Peng Yuni knew her mother best, and she also didn't like Meng Xiaoying crying. She said with a stern face, "Xiaoying, go outside and calm down."
Seeing that Mrs. Peng was displeased, Father Meng quickly pulled his daughter out and said, "Xiaoying, go for a walk outside. We'll talk to your aunt and grandma."
After she left, Madam Peng leaned back on the pillow and said, "What Yuni just said is right. It's hard to arrange Xiaoying's marriage now that she's been expelled from the art troupe. You should let her stay at home to cultivate her character and try not to go out as much as possible. We can talk about it after this storm has passed."
"Aunt, I will teach her well at home." Xiao Hongmei said with her head lowered.
