Chapter 313: All Poor Folks Have Short Lives? That Is Nonsense!

“Grandpa?” The protagonist ignored her and addressed the old man softly.

Old Master Lin ignored her with an expressionless face.

Is silence his way of acknowledging Su Qing Ning’s accusation?

The woman cocked her brow in resignation. She was not totally surprised by his reaction. The two of them were not strongly acquainted in the first place. The reason they had come together was because of her husband. Mo Jiangye was also the reason the old man had given her the bracelets. All in all, he was only good to her because of her ties to his grandson.

This was why she had worked so hard to maintain a relationship with the old man even though her husband detested him…

However, she could now see that the days she had spent with him could not be compared to the words of his good friend and that young woman.

The moment Su Qing Ning had mentioned her past, the old man had immediately turned against her.

How superficial of him!

“Young Madam, Young Master has asked me to take you home,” her driver informed her after a servant led him to her.

Ye Erruo took a sip of fruit juice, stood up, and announced to Su Qing Ning with a smile, “As long as I’m around, you’ll never get a chance to see Jiangye so you can quit being a clown. Of course, if you manage to antagonize me further, my husband may just break his rule not to hit women.”

“You!”

“Is he revolting? I dare him to hit my granddaughter while I’m around!” Old Master Su rebutted with a sinking face.

“That’s all I have to say. I’m going back. Grandpa, you need not invite me to your family dinners anymore.”

After saying that, the woman turned and walked away with a smile. Honestly, she was not terribly upset. She’d had no high expectations about the old man right from the start, although she could not deny she was somewhat disappointed.

“Friend, look at your grandson’s wife! In what way has Qing Ning lost out to her? That woman has no manners whatsoever! What kind of parents does she have?”

His granddaughter interjected. “Grandpa, that woman has no parents. She was abandoned.”

“Missy, the lady’s parents were poor folks who couldn’t hold a candle to you. Her parents passed away a long time ago, which is why she has such bad manners,” a servant whispered into Su Qing Ning’s ear.

“Poor folks… No wonder that woman cannot conduct herself well in public. All poor folks have short lives, I guess? Oh well, I’m not gonna lower my status by arguing with her.”

The woman’s words were enough to stop the protagonist in her tracks. Spinning around, she shot a deadly glare at the girl. “Would you believe that an abandoned child like me could make you beg for your life?” She warned her ominously.

Su Qing Ning merely sniggered defiantly. “Your life will be short, you insolent person!”

“Qing Ning!” Old Master Su called out in warning.

As Ye Erruo walked away, she made a call on her cell phone. “Mo Jiangye, Su Qing Ning and her grandfather are bullying me! What did you say? Are you telling me that you’ll destroy the Su conglomerate? Oh… What else? You also want to give up the Lins’ inheritance and move abroad with me? Alright, I’ll go home and start packing. You can send someone over to fetch me now.”

“Ye Erruo, you stay put!”

The woman merely curled her lips into a smile and continued walking.

“Xiao Ruo!” Old Master Lin was burning with fury after overhearing the conversation. He quickly ordered the servants to shut the exit. “Close the doors right now!”

The servants closed the door and the gate hastily.

“You are shameless, Ye Erruo!” The other woman was incensed.

“Didn’t you say that all poor folks have short lives?” She answered with a question.

She would make her enemy poor too. Regardless of what kind of parents she might have, this was nothing for others to criticize!

Looking absolutely grouchy, Old Master Su commanded her. “You call that chap again!”

The woman could not help smirking. “Are you ordering me around? Do I know you in the first place? Is it your family’s culture to bark orders at strangers?”

Old Master Lin could not hold back his displeasure anymore. “I’ve never seen an ill-mannered woman like you before! It is only right that an elder reprimand a junior when she’s in the wrong. You are just making use of Xiao Ye! You better call him back and explain the whole matter to him!”
