Chapter 1302: I Don’t Mind Not Having A Mother Like You (1)

Zheng Lin gaped at this daughter who seemed like a stranger!

She knew that no one in this family liked her. Her daughter was her only source of support in this family, but her daughter disagreed with her. She insisted on following a path laid out by others. Zheng Lin would never permit such a thing to happen.

Although Yuan Yuan had been disobedient in the past, she was still very respectful towards her mother. But now? She dared to speak to her in such a tone?

“You… what kind of attitude is that? Yuan Yuan, I am your mother. I’m doing this for your own good. Look at how the Zhong family treats you. They treat you like a tool to make a marriage alliance. They want to give you away to the Mo family.

“All these years, they’ve been longing to sell you to the Mo family. Your uncles have been promoted and made a fortune because of this. Your father has been promoted too. Besides that, the Zhong family business is booming. Your cousins have also started work. Look at your aunts and uncles. They go around every day trying to arrange good jobs for them. They’re hoping that the Mo family open doors for them!”

Zhong Bingyuan raised her eyes briefly and smiled, “Is that so? That’s wonderful. The Mo family is so capable. I’m only Brother Mo’s girlfriend, and we have already benefited so much. If I marry him, we will soar!”

“You…”

“What about me? Mother, sometimes I wonder what you’re thinking? I’m a girl! Do you know how harshly society treats girls? On one hand, it teaches us to be modern, independent women, and I study very hard every day. On the other hand, many families, especially noble families, still prefer virtuous and intelligent women to run their households. Is it easy for me?”

Zheng Lin roared, “A rich boy like Mo Chengxi is very superficial. He won’t love you wholeheartedly. He just gives you a few small things and you’re satisfied? Yuan Yuan, why won’t you think clearly? You…”

“I’m very clear-headed!” Zhong Bingyuan said firmly. “Whatever Brother Mo gives me casually is more than what anyone else can give me, even if he tries his best. For example, that Su Yuwen whom you introduced me. In this life, he will never be able to give me what my Brother Mo casually flings at me. Why should I be with someone like that? Can you guarantee he will treat me as the center of his universe his whole life?”

Zheng Lin could not speak.

Zhong Bingyuan laughed coldly, “Don’t interfere with my affairs in the future. Let me tell you, among the young men in the capital, Brother Mo has the highest status, is the most capable, and is the most outstanding. Even if you can find one or two that might be almost as good as him, they don’t like me, and I don’t like them. I want to marry into the Mo family and be their Young Madam. In the future, I will be like the current mistress of the Mo family. I will be the first among the wealthy matrons in the capital. Everyone will greet me with a smile when they see me.

“Mother, aren’t you aware of your own status in the capital currently? Can you compare yourself to Young Madam Mo? All the rich ladies in the capital are trying to ingratiate themselves with Aunt Mo. But not many of them are trying to ingratiate themselves with you, are they?”

“Shut up!” Zheng Lin screamed. She was so lofty that she did not want to accept a comparison between her status and Gu Qingyao’s status.

“Why should I shut up? Did I say anything wrong? You’re the Zhong family’s mistress! But you’re not doing well at all. That Su family is not even fit to tie the shoelaces of the Zhong family. If I marry someone like that, all the girls in the capital will kill themselves laughing.”

“I’m doing this for your own good!” Zheng Lin screamed.
