"Mom, help me drive that lowly girl away." Zhang Lianying cried, "With her there, I can’t stay at the Qin Family, and with me, she can’t stay."

Qin Huamei looked at her crying daughter, feeling heartbroken.

But she knew too, the old man had been concerned about the child of his eldest son for so many years, and now that she’s found, how could he possibly let her go?

"Lianlian..." Qin Huamei called her daughter with a pained heart.

"Don’t call me Lianlian." Zhang Lianying screamed, "I don’t want to share a name with that lowly girl."

Qin Huamei, headache-ridden, pinched her brow, "Alright, I won’t call you, darling. How could she possibly compare to you? You were raised by your grandpa since childhood."

When it comes to affection, Hao Lianlian could never compare to Zhang Lianying.

"Be a good girl and listen to mom," Qin Huamei whispered while hugging her daughter, "Your grandpa is still in the excitement phase now. Once he grows tired of that girl, mom will definitely help you teach her a lesson."

"And Su Xiaosan, mom, I don’t want Hao Lianlian to marry him." Zhang Lianying said, "I just want to marry Su Xiaosan, and no one else but him."

Mentioning Su Ziqiao, Qin Huamei became all the more worried.

She wondered what spell Su Ziqiao had cast over Zhang Lianying. This girl had only seen him a few times and was already causing a fuss that she won’t marry anyone else but him.

If Su Ziqiao could be her son-in-law, Qin Huamei would be immensely satisfied, because in the Capital City, how many young men like Su Ziqiao could there be?

Not only is he upright, but also very capable, reportedly doing well in the army.

Of course, if Qin Huamei knew that Su Ziqiao privately owned many companies and made good money, she’d be even more satisfied.

If she hadn’t noticed Su Ziqiao’s attitude towards her daughter, maybe Qin Huamei could still fantasize that Zhang Lianying might succeed if she tried hard enough.

But Su Ziqiao never paid any attention to Zhang Lianying, instead cherishing the hare-lipped Hao Lianlian.

Qin Huamei was furious.

Her daughter, whom she held dear, was so easily disregarded?

If he looked down on her daughter, she would surely make him regret it.

"Sweetheart, listen to mom." Qin Huamei persuasively told Zhang Lianying, "Mom will find you someone even better than Su Ziqiao."

"There’s no one better than him." Zhang Lianying said with red eyes.

"Of course there is." Qin Huamei said seriously and firmly, "Mom met a young man recently, very handsome, and also very capable, skilled at making money."

"What is Su Ziqiao anyway? At best, he’s relying on the Su Family. Just a poor soldier — do you really want to marry him and lead a hard life following the army? Mom couldn’t bear that."

Qin Huamei continued, "That young man is an overseas returnee, his family is also very wealthy. If you marry him, your life will definitely be better than Hao Lianlian’s."

"If you listen to mom, you won’t go wrong." Qin Huamei said, "You’d be a rich man’s wife then, rather than a military wife which is so tough."

"Is he really handsome?" Zhang Lianying asked with tears on her face.

"Very handsome, far surpassing Su Ziqiao." Qin Huamei responded.

But simultaneously, she worried because a man so good-looking often leads to trouble, and her daughter, though Qin Huamei disliked admitting it, was merely average.

Ironically enough, she didn’t inherit their good traits but all the flaws.

If not for the nice clothes she bought her, people might barely find her acceptable after dressing up.

And right then, Tao Yanxuan, eating Western food in the restaurant, inexplicably shivered.

Who’s thinking about him now?
