Chapter 2709

Zhao Zifei's heart was filled with deep fear, at the same time, with strong resentment.

He knew from an early age that his existence was just a chess piece used by his mother to complete her ambition.

But under the influence of his mother, would he be willing to be at the mercy of his mother?

"What's the look in your eyes? Why, do you disagree when I hit you?"

Mrs. Duan looked at him coldly and asked.

Zhao Zifei desperately bit his back teeth, even though his mouth was full of the rust smell of blood, but he still lowered his head.

"My son doesn't dare. My son just feels guilty."

He climbed humbly in front of his mother and stretched out his hand to pull her dress.

As before, he firmly fastened the disguised mask of a good son on his face.

"It's really useless for my son to help my mother. But mother, I did it to let you master everything of the Zhao family as soon as possible.

If Fang Rao's niece succeeds, you and I will have no place in the Zhao family. "

His plea did not make the cold look on his mother's face better.

Zhao Zifei's mind turned very fast.

Anyway, he and his mother haven't torn their faces yet. As long as he bites to death and says that all this is for the goal that their mother and son want to achieve, what can he do even if his mother doubts him?

After all, he is still a useful chess piece.

Mrs. Duan's cool eyes fell on his drooping head.

"So I misunderstood you?"

"No! It's my own bad work that bothers my mother and loses face. Next time, I won't act without authorization and will listen to my mother."

He looked up again with tears in his eyes.

"Mother, only you and I are connected by blood in this world. My son knows very well that if there is no mother, there will be no son now."

He cried with sincerity, but he hated the powerlessness of holding the future and destiny in the hands of others.

Even if the other party is his biological mother, she shouldn't drink like a dog all the time.

Mrs. Duan seemed to be moved by his "sincerity".

After sighing, he helped him up and booed him like a competent loving mother.

"Is it painful to kneel? Zifei, you know my intention to be a mother. You're right. Our mother and son are one. If we can't work together, how can we get back the part we deserve from the enemy?"

Zhao Zifei seemed very moved, but his heart was cold hum with disdain.

But over the years, he has been used to pretending his nature in front of his mother. Now he just bites his lips, but he looks more and more guilty.

"In fact, I know you have to do this. The girl's means are fierce and equal to her dead aunt. If you fight her rashly, I'm afraid you'll suffer."

On this point, Zhao Zifei is rarely consistent with his mother's point of view.

"So, I've been fully prepared."

Mrs. Duan gently stroked her son's shoulder and said softly, "among your father's old friends, you don't necessarily buy the first lady's account. Besides, you are your father's only son. What can you do even if she steals the limelight temporarily? After all, you are the young master of the house. It doesn't matter if you are ignored temporarily. Naturally, some people will value your value."

After listening to his mother's words, Zhao Zifei realized how many mental means were missing between him and his mother.

Even though my mother had never been to the Zhao family, everything about my father was still in my hands.

He nodded slightly excitedly to show that he understood.

Mrs. Duan looked at him with satisfaction. "Now that you understand, clean up and go to the front yard to help your father receive his old friends. They will be your help in the future. Now, at least, you should make a good impression on them."

Zhao Zifei repressed the excitement in his heart.

He thought he would lose, but now he has a new turn. How can he not hurry to show himself?

"Mother, I'll go first. You're waiting for my good news!"

He left in a hurry.

But I didn't see the gentle mother who smiled at him just now. The expression on her face gradually disappeared.

When Zhao Zifei was pulled back to education, Lin Mengya also encountered a little trouble.

But it's not that it can't be solved. It's just the object of her trouble. Her identity is a little special.

"Can she solve the Zhao family's affairs as a little girl? What's more, she is still a person with a different surname."

The man in front of her obviously didn't think highly of her.

Lin Mengya didn't get angry because of these two words. After all, what others said is the truth.

But elder Zhao doesn't think so.

Seeing elder Zhao's face slightly stiff, she thought at least not to quarrel with the guests at the gate, so she gently pulled elder Zhao's sleeve and motioned him to let the guests in first.

Elder Zhao swallowed his words, but the smile on his face faded.

"Elder Li has come all the way. Don't stand at the door and talk. Brother Jiang, they are all here. Elder Li will go in and meet those old friends."

Lin Mengya clearly felt elder Zhao's estrangement from elder Li.

However, the latter gave her a cold stare. Obviously, she was angry.

After the guests were led in, elder Zhao explained to her angrily.

"His name is Li Chengyuan. He is the Li family who was recommended to the Presbyterian Council with me. He is a little old-fashioned, but not too bad. I will explain it to him later."

Lin Mengya shook her head.

Li Chengyuan's idea is a little difficult. It's nothing to her at all.

What surprised her was that somehow she always felt that the other party seemed a little inexplicably hostile to her.

After practicing mental skills, she is particularly sensitive to people's emotional fluctuations.

In particular, this will have a negative impact on herself. Her acuity is comparable to radar.

But she was sure that she and elder Li were strangers.

And this is also the first time we met. Why did they become the target of hostility?

I really don't understand.

For a whole morning, nearly seven or eight aristocratic families have sent people to mourn the first wife of the Zhao family.

Seeing that the sky had been stained with some light ink, Lin Mengya, who was affected by the cold, followed elder Zhao back to the warm and comfortable reception hall.

There were some old friends who met. Although it was on the legal affairs of the deceased wife, we still felt that it was a rare opportunity to talk to each other.

Lin Mengya has no intention of intervening in the conversation of these ancient leaders

So I just asked about the preparation of hot tea diet outside and was ready to go.

But I don't want to hear someone talking about her.

"Brother Zhao, I wonder if your capable niece has ever been married? Alas, this sweet child is really rare. I think we might as well kiss each other if it's convenient?"

She doesn't need to tell who this belongs to.

Sure enough, elder Zhao smiled brightly.

"You're not the only one who knows the Pearl. The child has long been engaged and is only waiting to marry her husband as soon as next spring comes."

Hearing this, Lin Mengya was speechless.

She got married tomorrow morning and had two children. Elder Zhao was obviously kidding her.

But this joke, somehow, can't get into some people's ears.

"Now that you have a fiancee, you shouldn't come to my uncle's house to tell me what to do. No wonder the tutor like the Fang family can teach any ladies?"

This remark was impolite. It was tantamount to beating elder Zhao's master's face. The atmosphere was also ignored.

Lin Mengya's face was very pale.

At the same time, she also heard that the person talking was Li Chengyuan.

She also wondered, how did she get into trouble with Li Changlao?

Inside, elder Zhao also looked surprised, and then became a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Elder Li, I have made it very clear. After my wife died, there was no one to take care of the family, so I asked someone back to help. Please look at my face and don't criticize my wife's relatives."

"I don't like your wife! She has been married to you for more than ten years. As a woman, she has already made a mistake by not taking good care of her husband and children, and preventing her husband from taking concubines and inheriting her family. I used to see you being stubborn, and you wouldn't listen. Now that she's gone, you should wake up!"

"Elder Li, please speak carefully!"

In the reception hall, elder Zhao's voice suddenly sank.

"I know you've always been outspoken, but this is a matter between our husband and wife. Don't bother elder Li."

"You are a leaf blocking your eyes! I should have woken you up and let you see the true face of that woman, so you wouldn't..."

"Li Chengyuan, who allows you to slander my wife?"

finished!

Hearing that the gathering of old friends almost turned into an enemy meeting, Lin Mengya didn't think about it, so she asked someone to go in with hot tea.

She also followed closely and walked directly to elder Zhao in front of everyone's eyes.

"Uncle, the meals are ready. Please join the elders."

But I didn't expect that Li Chengyuan next to me was still reluctant.

"It's really from a small family. There are no rules. Elders dare to break in and interrupt like this."

However, Lin Mengya didn't change her face unsightly. Instead, she turned around and said with a smile.

"I'm really not from a high background, but my parents at least taught me to be frank. If I offended the elder and the elder said it, I'll compensate you for it. With your old man's mind, you will certainly forgive me.

But my aunt is dead now. Even if you want to blame her for not doing well enough, she can't explain. Besides, uncle and aunt have always been husband and wife. If there is any misunderstanding between their husband and wife, I believe my uncle must have seen it open. "
