Chapter 62: Giving Birth To An Heir, Becoming the First Lady (1)
In her previous lifetime, Zhao Manru put in endless effort to curry her favor and even treated her with love and kindness… Sometimes, she even felt some maternal love from Zhao Manru, which she had been sorely missing since her mother’s death.
Back then, she genuinely wanted to call Zhao Manru her mother but the latter declined under the excuse of not wanting to be disrespectful towards Luo Huawei.
Zhao Manru only showed her true colors after Luo Zheng was chased out of the Mu Family.
“Luo Zheng, who do you think you are? You want to call me your mother? Dream on!”
“Do you know how disgusted I feel every time I have to suck up to you!?!”
“I’d really like Luo Huawei to see how I duped her daughter!”
…
The scene from the past seemed to have popped up in front of Luo Zheng as she smiled.
Hence, she decided to provoke hypocrites directly… for she really liked seeing them having to tolerate her hostility despite being infuriated with her!
…
Luo Zheng had just gone upstairs.
At the next instant, Zhao Manru lost her temper and burst into tears. “Tianwei, I have suffered so much all these years for the sake of your future, but I have always been willing to do so! However, I didn’t expect Luo Zheng to point a finger at me and berate me. You even promised her that you would never marry me …”
Apart from feeling aggrieved and mistreated, she was incredibly furious.
After all, Luo Zheng was Luo Huawei’s daughter. She felt that Luo Huawei deserved to die young because she had snatched her husband away… However, she could not tolerate being humiliated and insulted by Luo Zheng!
“Manru, Tianwei didn’t have a choice either. He was just deceiving that evil girl! You don’t have to take it to heart…”
Li Shufen began to persuade her while defending her son.
Mu Cuiyun chimed in, “Yeah, Sis-in-law, Brother only did that for our sake. Why do you have to be so serious and petty!?!”
Hearing their words, Zhao Manru did not feel comforted at all, but was even more aggrieved.
So, do they think that I should have sacrificed myself? Why do I have to fend for myself out there while they stay here to enjoy prosperity and wealth!
Knowing her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law’s selfish nature, Zhao Manru forcibly suppressed her resentment and retorted, “I can tolerate Luo Zheng insulting me! But how can she insult Nianqing too? She called Nianqing a bastard child. Wouldn’t that be akin to insulting Tianwei and the Mu Family… ”
Upon hearing that, Li Shufen’s wrinkled face turned sullen and barked, “You’re right. That wicked girl is bold and insane. She doesn’t respect her elders at all!”
Li Shufen still had a male-chauvinistic mindset that she developed from living in the countryside.
In her heart, her daughter-in-law will always be an outsider and only her son and grandchildren were considered to be her own family… Hence, she wouldn’t mind if Luo Zheng insulted Zhao Manru. However, if she insulted her son and grandchildren too, that would be incredibly disrespectful!
Mu Tianwei snapped back to reality and held onto Zhao Manru’s hand. “Manru, it was my fault, I really let you down! I was just patronizing Zheng just now. You’re my wife. Who else can I marry except you!?!”
Zhao Manru finally felt a little better. “She said softly, Tianwei, I am willing to give you my whole heart, but Mu Sen and Nianqing have always lacked paternal love. I have really let them down… ”
The thought of her children made her smile while feeling heartened. “Fortunately, they are not like Luo Zheng. They are very sensible and excellent!”
Mu Tianwei deliberately raised Luo Zheng to become a brat while she showered Mu Sen and Mu Nianqing with love and concern. He asked, “Isn’t Nianqing studying abroad. Why did she come back so suddenly?”
Mu Sen and Mu Nianqing were fraternal twins.
They resembled Zhao Manru in terms of appearance, and were both rather pleasing to the eye. Although Mu Sen was not very driven… she reckoned that he could directly inherit Mu Tianwei’s company in the future.
Hence, her most outstanding child was her daughter, Mu Nianqing, who was also the greatest pride and joy of the Mu family!
