Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Internal Conflict

The two people speaking were none other than Wang Guilan’s stepson, Meng Qingdong, and his wife, Zhang Qiufang. The couple was feeling absolutely out of sorts. To be precise, they had been restless and in low spirits ever since they learned about the relationship between Luo Yanqing and Wang Guilan.

Even though they were extremely tired, they just couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning all night.

”Then why did you agree to your dad separating us into different households in the first place? And just how badly did your Stepmother treat you and your sister that you two act like you’ve completely cut ties with the family next door, not even visiting during the holidays?”

Resentment was evident in Zhang Qiufang’s words. She pursed her lips and added, ”No matter what, your Stepmother raised you and your sister. If I were you, I wouldn’t be so heartless!”

Hearing this, Meng Qingdong couldn’t help but get angry, ”What do you mean my sister and I were raised by that woman? You need to understand, it was my dad who raised us!”

”Sounds nice, but if your Stepmother had really wanted you and your sister to suffer, do you think you two could have lived peacefully? I’m not just running my mouth here; everyone knows that having a Stepmother is basically like having a second father.”

At this moment, Zhang Qiufang was both annoyed and regretful, feeling she shouldn’t have listened to Meng Qingdong. She should have kept her nose out of things and not cut off relations with the neighbors, affecting not only herself but also her children.

Now look at them; the relatives next door were about to prosper, and although they were originally one family and could have benefited from that, what was the outcome?

All because her husband and his sister bore a grudge against their Stepmother, their family was distinctly separated from the neighbors.

In the future, other than watching the neighbors prosper and feeling green with envy, what else could they do?

”Go to sleep!”

Meng Qingdong’s voice was filled with impatience.

”Snapping at me won’t do shit!” Zhang Qiufang rolled her eyes. ”If I weren’t feeling so indignant for the sake of our kids, do you think I’d bother arguing with you this much?”

”What injustice have they suffered? I’m their father. Since I’ve severed ties with the people next door, they certainly can’t have any connections with them either. And you—if I ever find out you’ve gone next door to cozy up with that family, you’d better pack your things and scuttle back to your mother’s house!”

Upon hearing Meng Qingdong’s words, Zhang Qiufang snorted coldly, ”Who are you trying to scare? Let me tell you, if you want to spend the rest of your life single, just keep on acting all high and mighty with me!

You don’t even think about it—just look around Ma Wang Village. Which Stepmother doesn’t work her backside off for her husband’s kids from his first wife? But you and your sister had a decent life under your Stepmother’s care—not luxurious, but far from bad.

And yet, you and your sister treat your Stepmother like she’s not even human, like she’s some enemy.”

Meng Qingdong: ”That’s because my dad cared about us in his heart.”

Zhang Qiufang: ”Yeah, yeah, your dad had you in his heart, your dad is great, he set you up with a family, married off your sister, watched me give birth to your family’s eldest grandson,

and then happily separated you from the household. After that, he died, leaving a few young kids for your Stepmother. When it comes down to it, your dad sure was a great guy!”

With sarcasm dripping from her words, Zhang Qiufang vented all her frustration at Meng Qingdong.

Meng Qingdong: ”My dad is your father-in-law, watch how you speak.”

Zhang Qiufang: ”What should I watch out for? Did I say something wrong?” In fact, if Luo Yanqing hadn’t shown up at her birth mother Wang Guilan’s today, if the relationship between Luo Yanqing and Wang Guilan hadn’t been half-guessed by the villagers,
