Chapter 2021: Rejecting Hong Ling (6)
Hong Ping’s voice wasn’t loud, but every word struck the heart, and Mrs. Hong grew increasingly angry as she listened.
She looked down on her sister-in-law’s nephew, indeed because she despised the lack of family background and culture, but how could her daughter be the same? How could they be compared!
Firstly, her Lingling was a girl, and in the future girls don’t need to support the family, so why compare family backgrounds? As long as she can bear children at home and take good care of the family, that’s enough. What’s more, her Lingling is pretty and cultured, which is far better than many girls nowadays.
Mrs. Hong glanced at Hong Ping, didn’t argue with her words, and only said, "You’ve studied a lot and went to college, I can’t argue with you. I won’t say anything further; besides, how do you know the other party doesn’t fancy Lingling? I’m not expecting anything from you, just don’t interfere if your sister ends up with that boy from the Ruan Family’s big house."
Hong Ping didn’t expect that after saying so much with such earnestness, the response she’d get would be just this, feeling as if an old blood was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down, nearly causing her to suffocate.
Her nature is soft and gentle, unable to say anything harsh, so upon hearing this, she just fell silent, sitting at the table with an unpleasant expression.
After all, they are her flesh and blood; Mrs. Hong, although biased towards Hong Ling, loves her elder daughter too. Moreover, today is her big day, so she turned to comfort her, but Hong Ping had already been hurt by her previous words, barely saying anything afterward.
Mrs. Hong found herself talking to a cold face and gradually spoke less.
Later, Hong Ling came in, noticed their off expressions, but didn’t mind, and in good spirits, walked over briskly to ask Hong Ping, "Sis, Hao brother booked the whole dance hall and invited us all to join tonight. Are you coming?"
"Hao brother?" Hong Ping lifted her head.
"Yes, it’s Jiaojiao’s big brother," Hong Ling couldn’t help blushing while speaking about Ruan Hao.
