Liu Juan’s words did not resonate with Grandpa Liu nor Lu Chengying. Lu Chengying heard Liu Juan’s words and curled her lips, she said to Liu Juan, “Genius? Humph. I say, Little Juan, I really don’t understand you. You say that your family isn’t the kind of family with spare money. Yet you adopt children. Now you’re torturing her, sending her to school at such a young age.”
Lu Chengying’s words made Liu Juan angry. She was just about to open her mouth to defend herself. Her father, Grandpa Liu, rarely agreed with what the eldest daughter-in-law said, and he tried to persuade her, “Liu Juan, Chengying’s words may not sound good, but I think what she said is right. You two, just take care of your own children first. As for Meng’er, you just have to bring her up.”
“Father.” Liu Juan looked at her father in disbelief. She didn’t expect her father to say such words. Her sister-in-law’s saying such words were within Liu Juan’s expectations. However, her father’s attitude made her extremely surprised. “I didn’t expect you to think like this.”
Liu Juan was silent for a moment. She raised her head and looked at her father with a determined expression. “Father, I always thought that both of you knew the feelings of Little Ping and me, that we really loved Meng’er as our own daughter. But I didn’t expect that. Sigh, forget it. Just pretend that I didn’t come today,” Liu Juan said, then, she walked toward the house.!!
“Liu Juan, it’s not that I don’t want to see you and Little Ping work so hard. If you want to borrow money, I’ll lend it to you.” Grandpa Liu didn’t approve of his daughter’s and son-in-law’s actions. However, his heart still ached for his daughter.
Lu Chengying was secretly happy that her father-in-law was on her side this time. However, at this moment… When she heard that her father-in-law was actually willing to lend the money to Liu Juan, she didn’t feel good in her heart. After all, the money that was lent out might not necessarily be returned.
Therefore, when Lu Chengying heard her father-in-law’s words, the expression on her face began to distort. She wanted to stop him, but because of her father-in-law’s prestige, she could only suppress it in her heart. She thought about how to tell her husband about this matter when she went back.
“Father, there’s no need. Little Ping and I will think of a way to pay for Meng’er’s school fees.” Liu Juan now somewhat regretted coming back to ask her father to borrow money.
Inside the house, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan followed Grandma Liu to get some delicious food. Meanwhile, Chen Meng’er was leaning against the door, listening to her mother, Liu Juan, and Grandpa Liu, as well as the words of Lu Chengying who appeared later. Chen Meng’er was not sad at all about Grandpa Liu and Lu Chengying’s words because she already knew what they were thinking. Moreover, Chen Meng’er would choose to ignore the words and thoughts of irrelevant people.
And what Chen Meng’er cared about the most was the thoughts of her mother, Liu Juan. When Grandpa Liu and Lu Chengying said those words to her mother, Liu Juan, her two small hands were at her sides, tightly clenching her fists. She looked calm on the surface, but in her heart, she was very nervous.
She was afraid that her mother would be swayed by Grandpa Liu and Lu Chengying’s words. She was afraid that her mother would say something that would disappoint her. Fortunately, her mother, Liu Juan, did not disappoint her. She did not let down the last bit of hope in her heart.
When she heard what her mother said, the smile on her small and delicate face grew bigger and bigger. If anyone saw the smile on Chen Meng’er’s face now, they would know that the smile on her face now was completely from the bottom of her heart.. It was not the usual faint smile on her face.
