Chapter 60: The Stepmother Visits
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Due to the fact that she had been throwing herself at him, Xi Mubai’s mother had always despised her and would never think that she was enough, regardless of how much effort she put in. His mother would simply take her for granted!
Hence, their greed could be said to be limitless like a bottomless pit that would never be filled.
This time, I shall see how the Xi Family faces their downfall… I do not understand, who would be the one to deal such a blow to the Xi Family? I actually have to thank him!
As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard the surprising sounds of laughter.
Of course, Luo Zheng was dumbfounded when she saw the sight before her. Feeling like she had been struck by lightning, she froze and almost could not control herself.
It was no wonder that her “family” were so happy. It turned out her stepmother was there for a visit!
Li Shufen was seated on the middle of the couch with a woman on either side of her… On the left, it was her daughter, Mu Cuiyun. On her right, it was her “daughter-in-law”, Zhao Manru.
Although Zhao Manru was from a village, she was rather beautiful. In the past few years, Mu Tianwei had received lots of money from his mother.
He spent the money on Zhao Manru who was scheming and overly concerned about her appearance. She looked much younger than Mu Cuiyun who was the same age as her.
Of course, Mu Tianwei was not sick of her because she had given birth to a pair of twins, Mu Sen and Mu Nianqing.
Luo Zheng scanned her surroundings to see that Mu Nianqing was indeed not around… Tsk, tsk, how disappointing!
“Zheng, when did you come home?”
Mu Tianwei looked up casually to see that Luo Zheng was standing by the door, after which an awkward smile formed on his face.
He immediately began behaving like a benevolent father and walked towards her.
Luo Zheng adjusted her emotions and greeted him obediently, “Father, I came home a long time ago. Why did you take so long to see me!?!”
She then glared at Zhao Manru before asking openly, “Father, who’s this old woman?”
Old woman…
Just as Zhao Manru was about to step forth and get into Luo Zheng’s good books, she heard the remark and fell speechless.
Honestly speaking, Zhao Manru exuded a gentle and elegant vibe when dressed in a Cheongsam dress, and did not look old at all… However, she had no choice but to accept being addressed that way since Luo Zheng was still a 17-year-old kid.
“Zheng, she’s not some old woman, she’s your Aunt Zhao! Didn’t I mention her to you a few days ago? She dropped by for a visit today… ”
“What? She’s Aunt Zhao!?! Father, didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t marry her?” Luo Zheng screeched.
Luo Zheng’s face grew sullen before Mu Tianwei could even finish speaking.
Zhao Manru constantly persuaded herself not to get upset at Luo Zheng and instead tried to forge closer ties with her, in hopes that the latter would support her in the future!
She was incredibly angered after hearing Luo Zheng’s words and almost broke her diamond nails.
Mu Tianwei promised Luo Zheng that he would not marry me? How absurd!
Back then, Mu Tianwei met Luo Huawei, the heiress of the Luo Family, by chance. He was then tempted by riches and a lavish lifestyle, and thus decided to marry into the Luo Family… However, Zhao Manru had already married him then and the two had a wedding in the village. They also had a wedding in the village and she gave birth to two children. The only thing they lacked was a marriage certificate.
However, she had no choice but to suck it up for the sake of a life of luxury, and thus decided to stay by his side silently after much persuasion from the Mu Family.
She finally waited till the death of Luo Huawei and she thought that she would finally get to enjoy life. Yet, they made her wait… They said that Luo Huawei had given Luo Zheng 10% of the Luo Family’s shares which she could only inherit when she turned 18 years old!
In order to get into the good books of Luo Zheng so as to make her transfer her shares to Mu Tianwei, she could not marry Mu Tianwei at the moment.
Hence, she swallowed her pride and fulfilled his wishes!
