Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Yuezheng became even more annoyed. She sneered. “He doesn’t think of me as his grandmother at all!”
Second Mrs. Yuezheng smiled. “It is fine, Mom. Xiao loves you, but he is just fickle because he is a young man. He can be confused sometimes. Ting, talk with your grandmother, and I will check in the kitchen. Mom, you are going to be served delicious food consisting of longan with duck soup. I have to stay by the fireplace and watch it carefully.”
Only now did Madame Yuezheng feel happier. She smiled emotionally. “You love me the most!”
Yuezheng Ting blinked her eyes and said with a smile, “That is what we should
Madame Yuezheng laughed.
By the time they finished with lunch, Madame Yuezheng was very happy. After that, the mother and daughter went back to their own yards.
The mother and the daughter felt so uncomfortable after pretending to serve Madame Yuezheng well.
That was why Yuezheng Ting did not like to speak with Madame Yuezheng.
It was so tiring!
She loved to be free and alone.
“Mom, we can’t let it go so easily, right? I really want that store!” Yuezheng Ting was really unconvinced.
If she could be in charge of the store, she would use the lipsticks to become friends with the ladies from the Xie Family. Then, she would have more chances to get closer to the Xie Family.
Third Brother was so stingy as to not give that small store to her!
Second Mrs. Yuezheng sneered and said, “What can we do if your Third Brother doesn’t agree to it? We can’t steal it, right? He is not a very easy person to deal with. ”
Second Mrs. Yuezheng had already noticed the potential of the store when Yuezheng Xiao first promoted the lipsticks.
She also got interested in it.
Seeing that he had very little in stock, Second Mrs. Yuezheng even offered to find someone who could produce more for them and expand the business.
That basically meant that she wanted to be involved in the process.
The lipsticks business was different from the others. All ladies would try to suck up to them if such business was in her hands. Also, it was a very special way of making money, safe and generous.
But Yuezheng Xiao turned her down.
Yuezheng Xiao and his brother were not very easy to deal with. Second Mrs.
Yuezheng had no way to force him to accept her proposal.
She had expected that no matter what Yuezheng Ting said to Madame
Yuezheng, the result would be the same. But she just wanted to make Madame Yuezheng hate the first section of the family some more and cause more trouble for Yuezheng Xiao.
Yuezheng Ting remained unconvinced. Biting her lower lip, she said, “How can Third Brother treat us like this? I am his sister but he is treating me worse than he treats that whole poor family?”
Second Mrs. Yuezheng raised her eyebrows. “What poor family?”
Yuezheng Ting pursed her lips and recounted the story when she met Shao Yunduan, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong at the restaurant.
Second Mrs. Yuezheng thought for a while and said, “That poor family might be related to your Third Brother in some way.”
Yuezheng Ting was startled.
Second Mrs. Yuezheng said, “Your Third Brother never gets close to anyone so quickly. Moreover, Young Master Xie was with them too!”
Moved, Second Mrs. Yuezheng suddenly thought of how the whole family showed up after Yuezheng Xiao started the store.
She could not find the source of the lipsticks because Yuezheng Xiao was very cautious all this while. Her staff could not trace it either.
Second Mrs. Yuezheng sneered. Well they could look into these poor people, and her men could go about and dig out the truth.
When she found out the source, Yuezheng Xiao would not be able to hold onto this business…
