Seeing how Xie Qingyan was not replying, Mother Wang continued asking, âYour daughter-in-law isâ¦.Yunxiâs wife?â
âWho else would it be?â Xie Qingyan laughed instead, âHe already has a son. Would it be possible he doesnât have a wife?â
âButâ¦..Maâam Di, is the mother of the child called Ling Siqi?â
âYes.â Xie Qingyan gave a clear answer.
Xu Jieziâs mind went blank.
What?!
How could it be Ling Siqi?
How could it be that woman who had been getting in her daughterâs way?!
Mother Wang always thought of Ling Siqi as a sl*t. She had already forgotten she was now Ling Qianchenâs mother. Mother Wang had completely lost control of her mouth as she said, âNo! You canât do that! You canât take Ling Siqi as your daughter-in-law! You can never introduce her to the rest of the Imperial City as part of the Di family!â
Xie Qingyanâs voice turned cold. Although she was still laughing, it was now a chilling laugh that could freeze those who were listening to her.
âAre you trying to order me? Are you slandering the future head of the Di family? Xu Jiezi, right? Do you think you are someone great just because I have been kind to you a few times previously? Donât do anything you will regret because I am very good at that.â
Xie Qingyan was already annoyed with Xu Jiezi. She gave her a sharp warning.
Not only Xu Jiezi was frightened, but even the two other housewives were terrified.
Fortunately, this was only a phone call, and Maâam Di couldnât see who they were. Otherwise, they could have been dragged into this because of Mother Wang.
Mother Wang was frightened as well, and she quickly apologized, âIâm sorry. I obviously wouldnât have the guts to comment about your family.â
She had already put herself in this position, and Mother Wang had to give it a try. Otherwise, Xie Qingyan would never believe her.
âMaâam Di, I am only saying this because five years ago, Ling Siqi used to be good friends with Qining. They were really close.â
âOh?â Xie Qingyan was about to end the call but suddenly got interested in what Mother Wang was about to say.
Mother Wang decided to jump on the bandwagon and said, âLing Siqi used to be a student in Qing Da five years ago, and she was first in her class. Qining never liked being friends with the rich kids who are dumb, so she always preferred girls who are smart and skilled. That was how Qining became friends with Ling Siqi. My husband and I were really happy that Qining found a friend like Ling Siqi but then...â
Mother Wangâs tone changed as she said, âAfter some time, we noticed that she isnât what she seemed to be. She was a beautiful girl with brains. That would give her a bright future, but when she came to our house, she was throwing herself onto my nephews.
âIn the end, Qining decided to bring her to a party with the hopes of giving her the opportunity to make more friends as this would help her greatly for her studies and career butâ¦.she ended up messing around with the men there and even got pregnant. She was also forced to leave Qing Da because of this incident.â
This time, Mother Wang became more careful with her words. Instead of saying that Ling Siqi got expelled, she chose to say that Ling Siqi was forced to leave the school.
âYou are considered one of the richest families in the world, and your sons are talented, well-educated men. Why should you allow a dirty woman like that to ruin your familyâs reputation?â
Xie Qingyan scoffed and said, âIt sounds like you are the one who isdemeaning my daughter-in-law, ruining the Di familyâs reputation!â
