What Xiao Chen said made sense. Mother Xiao’s face finally looked a little better, and her rejection of Xiao Chen was less obvious. However, even so, Mother Xiao’s tone toward Xiao Chen was still very bad.
She asked in a low voice, “How did you know about this? Could it be that it was those women around you who told you?”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Mother, you don’t have to care about this. This information is guaranteed to be accurate. I promised that person that I wouldn’t tell anyone, and she was the one who told me. Su Meng isn’t just unwelcome in the Wei family. Father and Mother Wei dislike her. The servants in the family look down on her and often bullied her.”
“Oh, that’s right, especially Mother Wei. She was even sent to prison by this Su Meng. It made her lose a lot of face. After such a thing happened, she couldn’t wait for someone to make things difficult for Su Meng and make her leave the Wei family as soon as possible. She won’t care about this matter.”
“That’s why, as long as she works hard, Xiao Xiao really has a chance. After all, no matter how bad she is, she’s still the daughter of the Xiao family. Her status is much higher than Su Meng’s.”
“Look, Elder Wei is still alive, and Su Meng is so unpopular. Then wait for him… Don’t you think so?” Xiao Chen didn’t say ‘die’. Sometimes, it wasn’t good to make things too clear, and it would easily bring trouble to himself.
Seeing Mother Xiao nod, Xiao Chen smiled. He continued, “Elder Wei is old, after all. Even if he wants to protect her, he can protect her for a few years. At that time, it still depends on Father and Mother Wei. Look at Mother Wei’s expression. Does she look angry now?”
Following Xiao Chen’s words, Mother Xiao looked at Mother Wei. Sure enough, Mother Wei was sitting there leisurely with a decent smile on her face. She did not seem unhappy at all because Su Meng was being put in a difficult position.
Xiao Chen continued, “Although Xiao Xiao’s current actions are a little embarrassing, as long as she succeeds, she can go and curry favor with Uncle and Aunt Wei. In addition, Wei Xue and I are good friends. If I ask her for help, won’t marrying Wei Ting be a done deal?”
At this moment, Mother Xiao’s mind was completely occupied with Xiao Chen’s words, ‘Xiao Xiao marrying Wei Ting’.
She had always been ridiculed in the circle of noblewomen. Everyone looked down on her family and always bullied her. In order to continue staying in the circle of noblewomen, she could only endure it. On the other hand, Mother Wei had always been an existence that other people chased after.
If the two families were to become in-laws, the Xiao family would have the support of the Wei family. In the future, be it in the business world or the circle of noblewomen, she would no longer have to worry about being bullied. In fact, she would even be able to bully others.
Thinking of this, Mother Xiao’s face no longer had the slightest bit of anger. She even looked at Xiao Chen with a trace of a smile in her eyes.
“Ah Chen, it’s Mother who wronged you. As an elder, I can’t do anything about this matter, so I can only rely on you. Aren’t you good friends with Wei Xue? Then treat her well and let her help more.”
“Of course. This is a matter that is beneficial to our Xiao family. I will definitely help,” Xiao Chen promised.
Although Xiao Chen was trying to persuade Mother Xiao, he did not think so in his heart. He was doing it purely for himself.
Although Wei Xue said that Wei Ting did not care about Su Meng and let her do whatever she wanted, no matter what, Su Meng was still the young madam of the Wei family in name. It was not appropriate for him to pursue her directly. If Xiao Xiao could really make Su Meng embarrass herself and divorce Wei Ting, then it would be convenient for him to take action.
As for what would happen to the Xiao family after offending Elder Wei, he did not care.
In any case, the Xiao family’s parents had always treated him as a non-existent son and placed all their energy on their eldest son. So what if the Xiao family was good or bad? He would not be able to benefit from it at all.
Although he was now the Third Young Master of the Xiao family and appeared glorious on the surface, the money he spent was actually earned by himself. He did not rely on the family at all. Of course, the family was also unwilling to give him a single cent.
On one side, the Xiao family mother and son had reached an agreement, but on the other side, Xiao Xiao was still confronting Su Meng.
Xiao Xiao already knew what Su Meng’s family did after Wei Xue revealed it. Hence, she said with a look of disdain, “I heard that Miss Su’s family is a fortune-teller. They are really different from the rest.”
“Fortune-telling?” The people around originally did not know about Su Meng’s family matters. When they heard that it was a fortune-teller, those who never believed in this matter could not help but laugh.
They never thought that the Wei family would actually marry a fortune-teller as their granddaughter-in-law. No wonder no one revealed Su Meng’s background. It turned out that it wasn’t because she was too powerful, but because she was too funny. In the eyes of some people, fortune-telling was a group of swindlers. It was the most shameful thing.
