As soon as Kong Yue mentioned Su Qing, the pride in her eyes could not be concealed. She smiled and said, “Their teacher said that she’s extremely talented and sings very well! Her performance is also not bad, and she even participated in an advertisement with Fifth Brother…”
However, before Kong Yue could finish speaking, Feng Jing interrupted her. She sneered and said disdainfully, “These are just some unpresentable things. How can it be used to show off? In the past, these were all acts from actors. What are actors? They’re lowly people! Although times have changed, those meanings haven’t! Isn’t it enough that your family has Su Qian? You still want to send Su Qing into that dirty circle?”
Feng Jing’s tone was even a little stern. She said coldly, “Since Su Qing is Zheng’er and your only daughter, you can’t let her humiliate herself so recklessly! You have to change everything she learned from those commoners who are filled with bacteria! What happened in the past is in the past. Su Qing can’t be so unruly in the future! She’s from the Su family. No matter what she does or says, she represents the Su family. You have to discipline her even more severely!”
Kong Yue watched coldly as the old madam finished speaking, feeling a little disappointed.
Feng Jing’s words were clearly slandering Su Qing. She made Su Qing sound like a good-for-nothing, and even said that she was full of problems!
In her eyes, Kong Yue didn’t see any pity or kindness from her as Su Qing’s grandmother. She only saw her arrogance.
On the surface, Feng Jing’s words might seem like she was lecturing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter as an elder. However, there was an unconcealable arrogance and disdain in her expression. She was looking down on everyone and asking them to treat her old-fashioned and rotten thoughts as an imperial edict! She didn’t care that this was no longer the past, and her old rules shouldn’t exist in this world anymore.
It was as though Feng Jing didn’t treat Su Zheng’s children as living beings at all. Even the ones who could be considered successful and popular, Su Qian, was just an “actor” in her eyes!
Qin Xin added fuel to the fire when she saw the old lady’s expression, “That’s right, that’s right. Although Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother have many children, you only have one daughter. She must be properly taught! A tree won’t stand tall if it’s not managed properly. Look at Su Qing’s angry expression just now. I couldn’t even find the right words to reply to her, and she even angered my Tingting and the old madam! It’s obvious how sharp-tongued she is!”
Su Qing didn’t think that Feng Jing and Qin Xin’s words had hurt her much, but looking at her mother’s sad expression, she gradually became angrier.
She stood up and looked at Feng Jing coldly. “What’s wrong with us? Old Madam, are you a remnant of the ancient feudal period? The entertainment industry is a dirty circle, and actors are still dirty actors? Don’t tell me your thoughts are still stuck in the last century? It’s already the age of democracy! Stop acting like a housekeeper and embarrassing yourself here. The commoners are covered in bacteria, what about you? As long as one is human, one will be covered in bacteria!”
Feng Jing looked at her, frowned, and slammed the table. She pointed at Su Qing and said sternly, “How dare you! You…”
“Me? What’s wrong with me? Did my words hurt you?” Su Qing asked rhetorically. Looking at Feng Jing’s flushed face, she continued firing indifferently, “Do you think that I’ll submit to your abuse just because everyone in this family listens to you? You’re not worthy! My mother is a good person. She tolerated you and accommodated you, but I won’t do that! As for your hypocritical and arrogant behavior, don’t pretend in front of me in the future. It’ll only make me feel disgusted!”
“Su Qing, how dare you!” Feng Jing’s face turned crimson as she looked at her coldly, as though she wanted to drink her blood.
When the five brothers of the Su family saw this, they were already a little stunned. Their sister really dared to fight with the old madam!
Qiu Yuan and Su Yi’s mouths widened in shock. Su Chen looked at his eldest brother’s daughter, Su Qing, in surprise. He didn’t expect her to be such a rebellious girl! Her stubbornness was very similar to his eldest brother’s when he was young.
Qin Xin and Su Ting couldn’t wait for Su Qing to offend the old madam. They wanted to see how she would suffer in the future.
