Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 151

151 Granddaughter

w.a.n.g Xiu secretly decided that in order to keep her job, she had to stop Gu Man from getting close to Ah Mai.

She then said to Jia Ling in a low voice, “I’ve seen Master treat her very lovingly. I’ve rarely seen Master so happy. Those who don’t know might think that she’s Old Master’s granddaughter.”

Jia Ling’s brows were tightly furrowed, and two thin lines cracked on her forehead with heavy make-up. “Stop spouting nonsense. Who doesn’t know Old Master’s temper? Apart from treating Ah Mai better, who else can make him happy?”

w.a.n.g Xiu panicked. “Madam, how could I dare to spout nonsense? There were other people at home who saw it. You can ask around.”

Hearing w.a.n.g Xiu’s words, Jia Ling thought that she wouldn’t dare to lie, so she asked, “When did she leave?”

w.a.n.g Xiu quickly replied, “She just left not long ago. Uncle Li personally sent her back. The last time she went to Restaurant Fragrance, Old Master personally went to pick her up. Who do you think this person is to make Old Master value her so much?”

Hearing w.a.n.g Xiu’s words and that Jia Ling still wanted to ask questions, Cui Hong said impatiently, “Why are you asking about this? Old Master naturally has his reasons for doing things. If he knew that you guys were talking nonsense in private, let’s see how you will get it from him.”

Hearing Cui Hong’s words, w.a.n.g Xiu and Jia Ling were indeed a little afraid. If Old Master knew that they were asking about him, it would be serious.

Jia Ling said awkwardly, “This concerns Ah Mai, so I’m just asking around. I didn’t say I’m going to do anything. Why are you panicking?”

Cui Hong was a little disappointed. “Don’t I know what you’re thinking? Don’t think too much. Although the old man is old, he knows everything. Don’t speculate about him.”

Hearing Cui Hong say that, Jia Ling was unhappy. “Isn’t it all for us? We’ve worked hard for this family. If someone else appears later to take a share, wouldn’t we have worked hard for nothing?”

When Cui Hong heard Jia Ling’s words, he pointed at her angrily. “Ignorant woman, if Old Master knows about your thoughts, I think you’ll have to shrink your head in the Cui Family in the future.”

Jia Ling still refused to give up. “How could it be so serious?”

“If you want to be despised by Old Master, go ahead. I can’t be bothered with you.” Cui Hong saw that Jia Ling did not believe him and left angrily.

Seeing that Cui Hong had left, Jia Ling even muttered to w.a.n.g Xiu, “Why is he angry with me? He’s so indecisive. Someone is already thinking about our Cui Family, yet he’s still so calm. I say, men are just too careless.”

w.a.n.g Xiu smiled awkwardly. “Men don’t see things so clearly. In the end, they all say that women are too sensitive.”

Jia Ling said angrily, “That’s right. I think that Gu Man has a powerful background. What do you think Old Master is up to? He won’t adopt someone just because I didn’t give birth to a girl, right?”

w.a.n.g Xiu had been in the Cui Mansion since Ah Mai was more than a year old. She was usually careful and cautious, and Jia Ling thought highly of her. Jia Ling would also discuss many things with w.a.n.g Xiu.

Seeing that Jia Ling had asked this, w.a.n.g Xiu felt that it was very likely, but she did not dare to show it directly.

She comforted Jia Ling, “I don’t think so. She doesn’t look like someone who will enter the Cui family for money. I’m just worried that if Ah Mai stays with her, it will affect his current treatment.”

When Jia Ling heard this, she said angrily, “Who is she? How dare she be around my Ah Mai? If anything happens to Ah Mai, can she afford to pay?”

“That’s right, Madam. That’s what I’m thinking. But if Old Master wants to do this, I have no choice. Madam, you have to think of a way.”

“Don’t worry, I’m Ah Mai’s mother. Of course I’m more anxious than you. I’ll think of a way to tell Old Master.”

“Madam, it’s not that I’m being nosy, but remember to be tactful when you talk to Master. I’m just afraid that Master will scold you if he’s unhappy.”

w.a.n.g Xiu was actually worried that Jia Ling would say something wrong and anger the old master. If that happened, she would be implicated.

When Jia Ling thought of Old Master being angry, all her arrogance disappeared. She said awkwardly, “Got it.”

Then she said, “Take good care of Ah Mai,” and walked away.
