Chapter 995

995 It’s My Fault

“Just some small technical tricks. It’s very suitable for a pig brain like Rong Xiaoda.”

Rong Linyi said lightly.

He had expected the second branch to fall into a trap and be trapped. However, the fact that they would be so stupid as to fight amongst themselves was out of Rong Linyi’s expectations.

In his opinion, wasn’t Hua Qingmei’s second branch always quite united?

Both Hua Qingmei and Rong Xiaoda were injured. Other than the Old Master, Qiu Shuyu was the most furious.

“It’s fine if you guys don’t have the ability, but you still want to fight amongst yourselves. Especially you.” Qiu Shuyu pointed at Hua Qingmei. “You committed such a stupid mistake. Our Xiaoda helped you think of a way, yet you’re blaming him instead. You’ve even scratched his face until it’s rotten. Xiaoda is going out to do a big business. A broomstick like you still dares to threaten him to get a divorce? Fine, you get a divorce, return the money, and leave with nothing!”

“Mom, you’re too biased.” Hua Qingmei cried. “Who is to blame for this? Xiaoda and I don’t blame anyone. It’s just that Su Yanyun from the eldest branch. It’s just a small matter with little merit. Moreover, it’s a fact that Rong Linyi is blind. Sooner or later, it will spread and cause the stock price to fall. Who knew that they would blame it on me. I’m the one being wronged...”

As she spoke, she cried harder and harder.

“You hit your husband for being wronged?” Qiu Shuyu glared. “Why don’t you dare to hit Su Yanyun?”

Hua Qingmei didn’t say anything. She just cried.

She had lived for decades, and even when she fought with Madam Rong, she had never been in such a sorry state.

“Alright, I won’t blame you for the fight.” Qiu Shuyu waved her hand impatiently. No matter what Hua Qingmei said, she had given birth to two famous sons for the second branch. Now, her grandsons were also a pair of twins. In a wealthy family that needed an heir to divide up the inheritance, it was enough for a mother to rise in status through her sons.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Speaking of which, what about your two sons? Sigh, where’s Xinming? He’s so useless that it makes me suspect if he’s your son. What about Jinghui? He’s so distant from you that I wonder if you’re really his mother!”

Qiu Shuyu rubbed her temples. “Back then, I finally defeated that old hag Xiao Mengxia. In the end, I lost to you, my daughter-in-law.”

“Mom, what’s wrong with me?” Hua Qingmei was unconvinced. Rong Xiaoda was clearly the worst.

“You’re good in every way,” Qiu Shuyu snapped. “I misjudged you back then. If I had known, I would have been better than you even if I had chosen Hua Sixuan as my daughter-in-law!”

Hua Qingmei was furious when she saw Qiu Shuyu comparing her to Madam Rong.

However, she did not dare to argue with Qiu Shuyu.

In this family, Qiu Shuyu was her foundation.

As long as she was still the matriarch of the Rong family, Old Master Rong would not kill her out of consideration for Qiu Shuyu.

“Mom, it’s all my fault. I was too short-sighted.” Hua Qingmei humbly admitted her mistake. “But we have to resolve this matter now. Otherwise, our second branch will be strangled by the eldest branch.”

“At most, I can only beg Old Master. Sigh, speaking of which, your father is already so old, yet he still has to lower his head to the eldest branch for your matters! Truly unfilial descendants!” Qiu Shuyu said.

...

Old Master came to plead to Su Yanyun later that day.

“Yanyun, Grandpa knows that everyone makes mistakes, including Grandpa... Sigh.” Old Master’s face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness. “Grandpa is old now, he only has one wish, and that is for the family to be harmonious and complete. Look, can the punishment for Second Daughter-in-law be lighter?”
