Chapter 57 All my expenses are paid by my daughter

By the time Li Cheng was done, it was already midnight. After cleaning up, Lin Jiangye lay on the bed, too tired to move his fingers.

Lin Jiangye was lying beside him, breathing evenly, already asleep. Li Cheng felt a warm current in his heart and pecked his lips gently.

Lin Jiangye was not happy about being disturbed in his sweet dream, so he frowned, snorted, and continued to sleep. Li Cheng smoothed his brows with his fingertips, kissed him gently, and said with a smile on his lips, "Go to sleep."

In the early morning, crystal dewdrops roll down the broad leaves of grass and trees, the rosy glow spreads all over the earth, and the cool breeze brings the fragrance of the leaves.

Su family.

Today happens to be the weekend, and Meng Yue and the wealthy ladies have made an appointment to go shopping together to check out the new season's fashion items.

Before leaving, Meng Yue knocked on Su Yunning's room door. Su Yunning quickly turned off the computer, spread the books on the table, and pretended to be doing homework.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Su Yunning asked puzzledly, still holding the pen in one hand.

"Nothing." Meng Yue looked at Su Yunning studying hard and felt distressed. "Ningning, don't work too hard. You need to have a proper rest, okay? You got first place in the exam again this time. I will bring you a gift when I come back."

Su Yunning said with a guilty conscience: "Thank you, Mom. It's not hard at all."

The more Meng Yue looked at Su Yunning, the more she liked her. She was ranked first in the exam and still worked so hard. She had surpassed many rich wives' children. Thinking of this, Meng Yue immediately ordered: "Xiao Lin, go get the silk scarf that Ningning gave me from my room. I want to wear it when I go out." Her eyes were full of pride.

They soon arrived at the agreed mall. They booked a private room on the third floor, which specially displayed new products of the new season for them to choose from.

"Mrs. Su is here. You haven't been out for a long time. How could you have forgotten us?" Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Meng Yue smiled apologetically and said, "How could I forget about you? I've been too busy at home lately and couldn't spare the time."

"You must be feeling a bit uncomfortable with suddenly having a daughter in your family," a lady asked.

Meng Yue's face froze, she said calmly: "No, both daughters are very good and get along well with each other." Family disgrace should not be made public, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many wives, so she could only fool around.

A lady enviously said, "I really envy you, Madam Su. You have the top and second place students in the school both in your own family. I want to ask you for your parenting methods. My son is not like my rebellious son who doesn't study hard all day. I am thankful that he can pass the exam."

Meng Yue was stunned. How could Su Jinyi get second place? How could it be possible? She had just come from the countryside and was in the same poor class as Shen Kuo. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't possibly get second place. Ning Ning had already said that she didn't do well in the exam.

Meng Yue asked in confusion: "Did you remember it wrongly? I know Ningning is the first, so how could Su Jinyi be the second? I know that child just came from the countryside and has many bad habits that have not been corrected. It's good enough that he can study hard."

The lady said excitedly: "It's not Ningning who is first, it's Su Jinyi. My son is in the class next to them, and he said it himself that Su Jinyi is first." She added: "And Su Jinyi got full marks in math, and it was posted on the school bulletin board so that others can learn from her!"

Speaking of Su Jinyi, another wife also became interested and said, "I heard from my daughter that Su Jinyi ranked first in the school, but was rumored to have cheated. A lawyer was hired, and the school found out that it was someone else's deliberate act. The school teachers came out to apologize to her."

"How come the mentality of today's kids is so narrow? They can't stand seeing others get first place in the exam and they still spread rumors. I still like Su Jinyi's character. He didn't rush to prove himself after being rumored, but directly found a lawyer. He has a clear mind. What an amazing kid."

"That's right. If it were my daughter, I would spoil her enough!"

"That's right," Madam Xu said bluntly, "Madam Su, if you ask me, Su Jinyi is the child you finally found, and he is so outstanding. You shouldn't be so partial to him."

Meng Yue could hardly keep her smile on her face, but she still maintained her dignity and said, "I know, I like both children very much and treat them equally..."

"I don't think that's the case." Madam Xu interrupted her and said, "You call Su Yunning Ningning, but when it comes to your own biological daughter, how come you call her Su Jinyi with both her given name?" She emphasized the word "biological".

"And the gift you bought today was for Su Yunning, right? There's only one." She frowned as she looked at the jewelry Meng Yue had placed aside and asked, "Why don't you buy one for your own daughter as well?"

Meng Yue's face turned pale, and she pointed at the scarf she was wearing as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and said: "This was given to me by Ningning, so..."

"Why can't I go to the third floor? Who made the rule? Call him out to me. Do you know who my daughter is?" Chen Tianying's shouting downstairs interrupted the conversation on the third floor.

When Meng Yue heard the familiar shouting, she immediately thought of the two people who had caused trouble at the engagement party, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I'm here to spend money today! I don't know who dares to stop me! I want to go to the third floor, why don't you let me go up!" Chen Tianying was still shouting, "Do you know who my daughter is? She is Su Yunning, the daughter of the Su family! She will pay for all my expenses, don't you know the Su family?"

The lady upstairs heard Chen Tianying's voice and looked at Meng Yue opposite with an ugly expression. The marriage between the two big families, the Su family and the Shen family, was attended by many wealthy families in South City, but they did not expect such a scandal to occur.

Madam Xu said with an unpleasant expression: "Are these Su Yunning's biological parents? This is too embarrassing. How can you yell and make people pay for it like this?"

Meng Yue's face was also very ugly at this time. She had just been accused of being bad to her biological daughter and good to her adopted daughter. Now, the biological parents of the adopted daughter came to make trouble.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Meng Yue asked the clerk to invite Chen Tianying up.

Chen Tianying snorted coldly: "Are you scared now? What were you doing before? You are the only one who won't let me go to the third floor. Do you have the qualifications?" After saying that, she went up to the third floor with a proud look on her face.

Meng Yue said in a deep voice: "Who told you to let Su Yunning pay for all your expenses?"

Chen Tianying was a little frightened by Meng Yue's momentum, but still said: "Su Yunning was born by me, so what's wrong with paying for my expenses? How can children be unfilial? I haven't even bothered with you for taking my daughter away!"

It was the first time Meng Yue had seen such a shameless person. Her voice was shaking with anger: "What do you mean I stole your daughter? You were the ones who dumped Ningning on the street. We brought her back and gave her the best material conditions to raise her. How can that be considered stealing? If we hadn't adopted her, we wouldn't know if she's alive or dead now. What were you doing?"

Chen Tianying felt guilty and tugged at the silk scarf around her neck in annoyance: "I don't care. Su Yunning is my child anyway, so she must respect me!"

As Chen Tianying moved, they all noticed the silk scarf around Chen Tianying's neck. It was obviously a high-end imitation, and it was obvious that the fabric was rough and had marks on it.

But what’s strange is that the one on Meng Yue’s neck seems to be the same as Chen Tianying’s...?

Madam Xu asked in confusion: "Look, are the scarves on Madam Su's neck and that woman's neck the same? They are both high-quality imitations."

"Don't say that. How could Mrs. Su wear a high imitation? Did you see it wrong?" Another lady quickly stopped her.
