Chapter 744: One Sentence, Like Slapping Three People in the Face
Su Sumei’s body stiffened, unable to comprehend as she looked up at Qin Nanyu who was speaking.
Meeting her gaze, Qin Nanyu still appeared indifferent; his expressionless face staring at her as he regarded everyone with a superior look, as if observing an unworthy ant.
It was the first time Su Sumei had seen such a look in his eyes.
Although Qin Nanyu was of noble status and taciturn, his interactions, albeit indifferent, were never so blunt as to make someone feel uncomfortable.
But today, it seemed he was intent on making her lose face.
Although he did not say much, every word he uttered was oppressive.
Seeing Su Sumei standing frozen, Qin Nanyu slowly shifted his gaze toward Ji Weitian.
The meaning of this gesture was self-evident.
Su Sumei’s complexion immediately soured.
Qin Nanyu asking her to kneel was humiliating enough, but she had tolerated this dishonor because by kneeling, she might soften Mofeng’s heart as a bonus.
But if the person she now had to kneel before was Ji Weitian, that was a completely different matter!
If she really knelt to apologize to Ji Weitian, how could she ever establish herself in the Ji Family? How could she be the lady of the Ji Family?
Wouldn’t that turn her into a laughingstock for the entire Ji Family?!
Moreover, she was nominally Ji Weitian’s mother...
Su Sumei’s eyes suddenly reddened as she looked desperately at Mofeng.
Mofeng’s face, much grimmer than before, seemed equally unprepared for Qin Nanyu’s firm insistence on avenging Ji Weitian.
This was nothing like Ji Weitian had described—that she was not important in Qin Nanyu’s heart.
This clearly showed she was held dear!
"Dad, they are obviously trying to make things difficult for mom! Why should my mom kneel before Ji Weitian?"
Mofeng remained silent, but Ji Kaisui couldn’t contain herself and complained first.
In her eyes, Ji Weitian was just showing off with Qin Nanyu today.
Just because she had climbed up the social ladder, becoming the stepmother of the young master of the Qin Family, what was so great about that?
Ji Kaisui would rather have Qin Nanyu break up with Ji Weitian right away. In front of Qin Nanyu, not only did she not want Su Sumei to bow down to Ji Weitian, she even started to twist the truth.
"Young Master Yu, don’t be deceived by Ji Weitian. Although she is nominally the young miss of the Ji Family, in reality, she’s just a coarse woman who grew up in the streets. My mother released those false stories because she couldn’t stand Ji Weitian’s disobedience. She also didn’t want to see her misuse your reputation to deceive others outside. She’s really not as innocent as you think..."
"So what?" Qin Nanyu slightly parted his thin lips, interrupting her.
Ji Kaisui was instantly silenced.
Was there even a need to ask how one should deal with such a contemptible Ji Weitian?
Such a woman should obviously be discarded, the farther away the better...
She subconsciously wanted to respond to Qin Nanyu, but after moving her lips slightly, she felt something was off.
Looking puzzled at Qin Nanyu, she saw him slightly curling the corners of his mouth, his tone resounding.
"No matter how many faults she has, I will protect her. If anyone dares to make her unhappy, I will make their entire family suffer!"
Ji Kaisui: "..."
Su Sumei: "..."
Mofeng: "..."
His words felt like a slap in the face to all three.
The living room fell into an even greater silence.
Ji Kaisui, who was initially eager to sow discord, suddenly wilted like a frost-stricken eggplant.
