When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 561: Mrs. Sheng’s Secret (11)

If Mrs. Sheng simply thinks she is unworthy of her son due to her own poor background, by now she should be tired after all this.

Moreover, as Sheng Jianan’s mother, she must know well what kind of temperament he has. Sheng Jianan is not someone she can easily control.

Obviously, she is not foolish, so all her tricks are directed at Tang Yanqi.

But being capable of causing a car accident, this is definitely not just about her disliking her own background.

Tang Yanqi didn’t want to revisit the past, but since Mrs. Sheng was still going out of her way to trouble her, she decided not to let those past events go easily.

From Mrs. Sheng’s actions, Tang Yanqi felt there was only one thing—it wasn’t just dislike, it was pure hatred.

This hatred drove her to the point of being able to commit intentional harm. Either she is psychologically disturbed, or there must be another reason.

"Young Madam, is the breakfast not to your liking?"

Mrs. Zhang had unknowingly appeared by Tang Yanqi’s side, and her sudden voice snapped Tang Yanqi back to reality, realizing she had been in a daze with the small spoon for quite some time.

"No, it’s quite good."

"I noticed you didn’t eat much, so I thought you might not have an appetite. If you don’t like it, I can make you something else." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Tang Yanqi shook her head, "No need, it’s fine. By the way, Mrs. Zhang, you’ve worked at the Sheng Family for many years, right?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "For many years. I watched the young master grow up."

"It’s Mrs. Sheng’s birthday in some time. Logically, I should prepare something, but I’m not sure what she likes. You’ve been with the Sheng Family for so long, do you have any suggestions for me?"

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a few seconds, "We servants don’t really know what the lady likes, but if you’re to give her something, it’s best to go for something expensive."

"Something expensive? But I remember that the old gentleman doesn’t like extravagance and wastefulness."

"Ah, that’s true. Although the old gentleman isn’t stingy to the point of being miserly, he still dislikes extravagance. But the lady is different, when it comes down to it..."

Mrs. Zhang did not continue, instead giving a direct conclusion: "The lady and the old gentleman didn’t have a good relationship. The old gentleman didn’t like the lady; he preferred his previous daughter-in-law."

"Sheng Jiayu’s mother?"

"Yes, actually it’s not just the old gentleman, we all preferred her. It’s just that the lady bore a son for the Sheng Family, and the young master was exceptionally gifted from a young age, so the old gentleman grew especially fond of him, which gave the lady a place in the Sheng Family."

Tang Yanqi took another sip of soup and casually remarked, "Jianan mentioned that there isn’t even a year of age difference between him and Jiayu. Isn’t this the reason why the old gentleman disliked his mother?"

Perhaps due to her age and seeing that Tang Yanqi rarely talked much, Mrs. Zhang did not hold back and openly shared, "Yes, the old gentleman was actually quite liberal, but no matter how liberal, he couldn’t accept his son finding another woman while his wife was pregnant. Back then, the previous lady of the house was nearly due when this scandal broke out. The eldest lady’s mother was very proud; soon after giving birth to the eldest lady, she left the Sheng Family."

As Mrs. Zhang spoke, she suddenly seemed reminded of something and changed her tone, "Young Madam, it’s not that I’m being overly talkative, but you are someone the old gentleman personally chose. The old gentleman treats you much better than the lady, and because of this, the lady feels a deep sense of imbalance. Though she doesn’t get along with the old gentleman, she doesn’t dare go against him. So, everyone whom the old gentleman favors, she automatically dislikes."
