Chapter 285 - She had a suspicion that Liu Dongchang was behind all this but she couldn’t prove it. (3)

Tong Xuelu was speechless. She remained silent for a little while before she asked, “What about you? Do you want to marry Liu Dongchang?”

Meng Qingqing bit her lip and her brows furrowed. “I don’t know……”

Tong Xuelu thought about it some and said, “Let me put it this way. Do you want to be the stepmother to two children? You are just 19 years old right now. I heard that Liu Dongchang’s older daughter is already 10 years old. Do you want a 10-year-old girl calling you Mom?”

Meng Qingqing’s eyes widened, seemingly startled.

Tong Xuelu carried on and said, “In addition, the two children, at their age right now, have ideas of their own. They might not accept you. Then there’s the other side of the two children’s family. They may not accept you as well. Tan Xiaoyan from this morning is an example. Are you ready to take that on?”

Meng Qingqing turned even more pale.

Tong Xuelu piled on the damage. “Liu Dongchang has an older sister. As she was the one who raised him, I heard that he gives her half of his paycheck every month. After you are married, you will have more children. At least two. Do you think that Liu Dongchang’s income can support this many people?”

And this sister would be more like half a mother-in-law.

No, worse. A mother-in-law would at least help with taking care of the children and some chores. For sure Liu Dongchang’s sister would not do any of those.

All she would be doing was taking money from her brother and pick on her sister-in-law.

Meng Qingqing looked like she was having difficulty breathing. Her mouth agape and she was gasping for air.

Tong Xuelu summarized in the end. “You think about it long and hard. If you still want to marry Liu Dongchang despite all of these, then you have my blessing.”

She felt that Liu Dongchang was a disgusting man and that there was no reason for a girl like Meng Qingqing to marry a divorced man.

But she was not Meng Qingqing’s family member. If Meng Qingqing and her family were okay with her marrying him, there was no reason for Tong Xuelu to meddle in it.

She could better spend her time on her big cutie than to barge into matters that didn’t concern her.

Meng Qingqing stood in the kitchen pale for a very long time. She finally walked out, distracted, when Liu Dongchang was almost back.

Seeing that Meng Qingqing had walked out, Tan Xiaoyan quickly walked up and asked, “What were you guys talking about in there? Were you badmouthing me?”

Meng Qingqing looked over at her and nodded in distraction.

Tan Xiaoyan’s face turned beet red from anger immediately. “I knew it, you tramp……”

“Tan Xiaoyan! Shut your mouth! If you bully Qingqing again, you don’t need to come in to work anymore!”

Tan Xiaoyan had just gotten started when Liu Dongchang showed up at the door with his long face.

Tan Xiaoyan almost vomited blood from anger. “Brother-in-law, she was the one who was badmouthing me……”

She didn’t get to finish what she was saying this time.

Liu Dongchang frowned and stared at her. “How many times have I told you to not call me brother-in-law at work? How did you forget about that again?”

Tan Xiaoyan was close to tears!

Liu Dongchang did not pay her any attention, however. He walked over to Meng Qingqing and said to her with a loving look. “Don’t worry, Qingqing. I won’t let anyone bully you.”

“……”

Tong Xuelu, from the inside the kitchen, was unexpectantly shoved a mouthful of greasy dogfood. She was short of puking out her dinner from the night before!

***

After a whole day of greasy dogfood, Tong Xuelu left without having dinner at the restaurant.

She could not summon up an appetite with Liu Dongchang there.

When she saw the two buns Tong Mianmian and Xiao Jiu, her eyes finally found their relief.

“You are home, Big Sister!”

Tong Mianmian pitter pattered over to Tong Xuelu on her stubby little legs as soon as she saw her.

“Big Sister, you are home!”

Xiao Jiu followed behind Tong Mianmian as he repeated word for word what she had said.

The two buns each held onto one of Tong Xuelu’s legs and looked at her with their limpid eyes. They were cute like two little puppies.
