“How is that possible?” Elder Qu and the others asked in unison.

“It’s good that you’re not,” Chen Meng’er said in a good mood. After saying that, Chen Meng’er turned her head to look at Qu Yaoxi, she wiped away the smile on her face. “Qu Yaoxi, you have a good father who is devoted to you. I’m also giving you a chance because of your father’s painstaking efforts towards you. Tell me, why do you hate me so much? I don’t remember any grudges between the two of us.”

Chen Meng’er’s words made Qu Qiang’s eyes light up. He thought that Chen Meng’er must have hated his daughter to death. He thought that of all the people here, Chen Meng’er should be the one who hated his daughter the most. He thought that Elder Qu would investigate this matter, and it must have been at Chen Meng’er’s request.

However, only now did he realize that what he had thought before was all wrong.

“Miss Meng’er has already said so, why don’t you hurry up?” For the first time, Qu Qiang felt helpless towards his daughter.

Qu Yaoxi looked at her father. She suddenly realized that her father’s head of black hair had unknowingly grown a lot of white hair. Looking at those silver strands, Qu Yaoxi suddenly had the urge to cry. She took a deep breath, she turned to Chen Meng’er and said, “I don’t have any enmity with you. It’s just that you don’t know how much influence you have. You didn’t do anything, yet you were able to gain the love of so many people, including Su Jinming.”

Qu Yaoxi had silently liked Su Jinming for a long time, but she had never dared confess to Su Jinming. She was afraid of being rejected by Su Jinming.

Unexpectedly, one day, Liao Yunjin came to tell her that Su Jinming had a new lover. When she heard that Su Jinming had a new lover, her heart hurt.

She asked Liao Yunjin who Su Jinming had fallen in love with. Liao Yunjin didn’t say at first, but after she kept asking, he told her that Su Jinming had fallen in love with the Qu family’s newly found child, Chen Meng’er.

She knew about Chen Meng’er. From the moment she appeared, she had grabbed everyone’s attention. Even her father had told her more than once about Chen Meng’er’s excellence, letting her learn from Chen Meng’er. Originally, she already had a problem with Chen Meng’er. She had always thought that Chen Meng’er only had an outstanding face and a better birthright than her.

It wasn’t until she knew that the person she liked, Su Jinming, actually liked Chen Meng’er that she started to hate Chen Meng’er for no reason.

“Su Jinming?” Chen Meng’er remembered Su Jinming, but she didn’t know that Su Jinming liked her at all.

“Yes, Su Jinming.”

“Ha, how ridiculous. You like Su Jinming, but Su Jinming doesn’t like you. You hate my sister. What kind of logic is that?” Qu Haoxiang asked with a straight face. He had thought that Qu Yaoxi had some deep hatred with his sister, but it turned out that it was because of a man. And it was a man who had nothing to do with his sister.

“The Su family and the Liao family. Ha!” Elder Qu was like Chen Meng’er. He didn’t see things as simple as they appeared to be. “Little girl, you don’t even know that you’ve been cheated by someone. To think that you’re still a member of our Qu family.” Elder Qu shook his head in disappointment.

Qu Yaoxi had a confused look on her face. She did not know what Elder Qu was talking about.

It was not only Qu Yaoxi who was at a loss. Even her father did not know the meaning behind Elder Qu’s words. He was originally a distant relative of the Qu family. He did not know much about these matters between the families. Therefore, he did not know what this had to do with the Su family and the Liao family.

“Old Chief, what’s wrong?” Qu Qiang asked.

“I knew it. At your daughter’s young age, how could she have such a big influence? Even if she said a few bad things about Meng’er outside, it would not have caused such a commotion. It seems that someone is adding fuel to the fire. Even your daughter’s hatred for my granddaughter was manufactured by someone.” Elder Qu felt angry just thinking about it. “Meng’er, did you already expect that this matter would not be simple?”

“I did.” Chen Meng’er nodded.

“You still wouldn’t let me investigate even if I knew,” Elder Qu looked at Chen Meng’er angrily and said.

“There’s no difference between investigating and not investigating. In any case, this matter does not affect me,” Chen Meng’er said with a smile.

“Girl, you’re too good. How can this matter not affect you? Your reputation has been damaged. HMPH, the Su family can’t get any benefits, so they want to destroy you,” Elder Qu said hatefully, he looked as if he wanted to rush to the Su family to settle the score with them.

“Grandpa, what kind of explanation is this?” Qu Haoxiang asked.

“The elder of the Su family came to have tea with me some time ago. He said he wanted to have tea with me, but he actually wanted to marry his grandson, Su Jinming, to Meng’er..”

“He’s dreaming.” Qu Yaobing, who had been silent all this time, couldn’t hold it in.

“That’s right. He hasn’t woken up from his dream. Su Jinming is a good kid, but what kind of family is the Su family? How can I let my granddaughter get into that pit of fire?” The Su family was very chaotic, and there were all kinds of internal conflicts.

Elder Qu, who didn’t know that Su Jinming liked Chen Meng’er, knew when Elder Su came to propose marriage. He knew that Elder Su wanted the Qu family and the Green Gang to give him some bargaining chips so that his family could finally gain some power.

“Didn’t the Su family fail their mission? If they knew the identity of the person I married, they wouldn’t have made such a move. Moreover, other families’ unmarried daughters are afraid of losing their reputation and not being able to marry into a good family in the future. I already have someone to marry, so what’s there to be afraid of?” Chen Meng’er didn’t want Elder Qu to be angry all the time, so, she said this on purpose.

“You brat.” When Elder Qu heard Chen Meng’er’s words, he really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“I’m telling the truth. So, Grandpa, I’m not angry. Moreover, they didn’t get any benefits this time, did they?” Chen Meng’er said coquettishly to Elder Qu.

Once Chen Meng’er acted coquettishly, Elder Qu couldn’t do anything to her. He could only glare at Chen Meng’er adoringly.
