Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 287 - 280: Even If Only Once
Because of the unpleasant incident during the day, Xiao Mei stayed in her room for a long time without coming out. After Xu Juan confirmed that her grandson was okay, she did not bother with Xiao Mei anymore. As long as her grandson was fine, she really didn’t care much about how Xiao Mei was.
"Ugh! Disgusting woman!" Xiao Mei’s mom glared darkly at the door, spitting towards the door that Xu Juan had already closed.
"Mom, keep your voice down, don’t let others hear you." Xiao Mei’s voice was weak.
After hearing Xiao Mei, her mom looked at her, "Were you faking that stomachache just now?"
Xiao Mei nodded, "Yeah."
"Are you crazy!" The woman exclaimed, then walked to the door, opened it and looked outside. After confirming there was no one, she closed the door and walked back, accusing, "Don’t you know what’s going on with that piece of flesh in your belly? At first, I thought there was really something wrong with your belly. I was thinking it might be a good thing if the child was lost, so you could take advantage to stay here. I didn’t expect you were pretending!"
"What’s wrong with my piece of flesh!" Xiao Mei instinctively covered her belly, "This is my child, also your grandchild, why are you and Dad treating him like he doesn’t matter?"
Her mother was stunned; after all, having been a mother, when Xiao Mei said this, her face turned sour, "But this child isn’t Yu Bin’s."
"Mom, stop talking!" Xiao Mei seemingly didn’t want to continue this topic.
"Tell me the truth, what were you doing in Bai Yiran’s bedroom today? I know you best, once you make a mistake, you try to cover it with something else. Bai Yiran and Xu Juan didn’t say anything today, but you definitely did something. Tell me honestly!"
Xiao Mei looked up at her mother, her face flushed, eyes full of reluctance, and said softly, "I just wanted to see her ring in her room. I’ve never seen such a big diamond before, and wanted to try it on."
"Are you silly!" Her mother poked Xiao Mei’s forehead, "What’s a broken ring worth? The most valuable thing in this family isn’t the ring, it’s the person! It’s Leng Yichen!"
Seeing her mother’s words, Xiao Mei’s expression turned a bit unpleasant, "Mom, what do you and Dad take me for? I am your daughter, not someone for sale!"
Although Xiao Mei also found Leng Yichen to be excellent and charming, every time she heard her parents say such things, she felt very lowly, just like those classmates back in school who wagged their tails begging for the rich girl’s favor. Back then, she looked down on those classmates the most. But now, when thinking deeply, how was she any different from those classmates?
"You, you’re just as stubborn as your dad, always wanting everything but caring about face. It’s fortunate your dad wasn’t here today, otherwise, he would’ve certainly scolded you. You should find your focus, stop coveting Bai Yiran’s things. If you really succeed, won’t those things all be yours sooner or later?"
Xiao Mei felt her parents were oversimplifying things; not to mention she had no real chance to get close to Leng Yichen, even if she did, it would be when Bai Yiran was around. Was she supposed to fight with her belly sticking out?
Xiao Mei bit her lip, said nothing, her thoughts secretly fixated on Bai Yiran’s ring. She genuinely liked it, and really wanted to try it on, even if just once.
