She had been an orphan since she was a child. Except for her name, she had nothing else.
It was not until her uncle brought her home at the age of eighteen that she learned that she was the granddaughter of a famous family in Kingstown.
The daughter of the Su family, Su Han, was pregnant out of wedlock and disappeared eighteen years ago. No one knew if she was dead or alive.
Hearing that, Mrs. Li did not look too happy. She glanced at Su Qianci coldly.
Su Qianci knew that Mrs. Li hated her, so she did not want to get on her bad side. She smiled at the ladies who were praising her but did not say anything. She walked up and said, "Mom."
Mrs. Li did not want to be nice to her, but in front of so many people, she had to hold back her dissatisfaction. She nodded and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Auntie, happy birthday!" Tang Mengying's voice came with surprise and joy.
She looked over and saw Tang Mengying walking in with a big box in her hand, smiling brightly.
Tang Mengying was good-looking in the first place, with thin eyebrows and big eyes. Her nose was straight and round, and her sharp chin seemed to have been deliberately cut with a knife. Her lips were pink, and her eyes were curved when she smiled.
When Mrs. Li saw her, a smile immediately appeared on her expressionless face. She said to her, "Why are you here so early? You just came back from Australia a few days ago. Why don't you sleep a little longer to get rid of the jet lag?"
Tang Mengying playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "I have been back for a few days. Today is your birthday. How can I not come to congratulate you because I was sleeping?" She approached with a smile and put the big box in her hand on the coffee table in the middle of the ladies.
"What is this?"
"I am so jealous. We can receive gifts from Tang Mengying every year. Poor us. We are also neighbors, but Tang Mengying does not care about us so much."
"Exactly, but I thought Tang Mengying would become your daughter-in-law. I did not expect …" However, before Mrs. Zhang finished, Mrs. Li next to her patted her hand.
Mrs. Zhang's smile suddenly froze and she looked at Tang Mengying awkwardly. Tang Mengying seemed a bit embarrassed and blushed.
Soon, everyone looked at Su Qianci.
Su Qianci acted as if she did not hear it, standing on the side and looking forward. Meeting their eyes, she smiled gently and said, "I'll go cut some fruit for you. Sit down first."
"No, the servants will do that." Mrs. Li's smile faded. "Sit down, in case someone says I mistreat my daughter-in-law."
No matter how stupid those noble madams were, they could tell that something was fishy.
True, she was an illegitimate daughter.
Furthermore, it was an illegitimate daughter of an unknown father.
What right did she have to marry into the Li family?
If it were not for the insistence of Li Sicheng's grandfather, even threatening to kill himself, no one in the Li family would agree to let Su Qianci in.
In Mrs. Li's opinion, Su Qianci did not deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
Su Qianci sat down in a corner, discreetly staying away from Mrs. Li.
In her previous life, she naturally sat next to Mrs. Li and was driven away by Mrs. Li. Not only was she embarrassed, she was also ridiculed by Tang Mengying.
