She has been an orphan since childhood, and she has nothing except a name.
It was not until she was taken home by her uncle at the age of eighteen that she learned that she was the granddaughter of a famous family in Cannes.
The Su family's daughter, Su Han, became pregnant before marriage and disappeared eighteen years ago. There has been no news of her and no one knows whether she is alive or dead.
Speaking of this, Mother Li's face looked unhappy and she looked at Su Qianci coldly.
Su Qianci knew that Li's mother hated her, so she didn't want to offend her. She smiled at the ladies who praised her, but didn't say anything. She walked up to them obediently and said, "Mom."
Mother Li didn't want to give her a good look, but after all, she was in front of everyone, so she had to endure it no matter how dissatisfied she was. She just hummed lightly with a blank expression.
"Aunt, happy birthday!" Tang Mengying's voice came, with surprise and a happy smile.
When I looked over, I saw Tang Mengying walking in with a big box in her hands, smiling brightly.
Tang Mengying was good-looking, with thin eyebrows, big eyes, a straight and round nose, and a pointed chin that looked as if it had been deliberately carved with a knife. It was too delicate, with a pink little mouth and eyes that curved when she smiled.
When Li's mother 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. Don't you know how to sleep a little longer to adjust to the time difference?"
Tang Mengying stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "I've been back for several days. Today is my aunt's birthday. How could I not come to congratulate you just because I was asleep?" She approached with a grin and placed the big box in her hand on the coffee table in the middle of the ladies.
"What is this?"
"Oh, I'm so envious. I get gifts from Mengying every year. We are so pitiful. We are neighbors, but Mengying doesn't show such care for us."
"That's right, but I thought Mengying would become your daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect..." Before Mrs. Zhang could finish her words, Mrs. Li next to her clapped her hands.
The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face froze all of a sudden, and she looked at Tang Mengying awkwardly. Tang Mengying blushed as if she was embarrassed.
Soon, everyone's eyes turned to Su Qianci.
Su Qianci stood aside and looked ahead as if she hadn't heard anything. When she saw their eyes looking at her, she smiled gently and said, "I'll go cut some fruit for you. You guys sit down first."
"No need, there will be servants to do this." Mother Li's smile faded, "Sit down, or someone will say I'm abusing my daughter-in-law."
No matter how dumb those ladies were, they had already seen through the trick.
Yes, an illegitimate daughter.
She is also an illegitimate daughter whose biological father is unknown.
Why should I marry into the Li family, the first red family
If it weren't for Li Sicheng's grandfather, Chief Li, who insisted and even threatened to die, no one in the Li family would agree to let Su Qianci join the family.
In the eyes of Li's mother, Su Qianci was not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Li family in terms of her background and upbringing.
Su Qianci obediently found a corner and sat down, very tactfully finding a seat farther away from Li's mother.
In her previous life, she sat next to Li's mother as a matter of course, but was driven away by Li Se. Not only did she end up in an embarrassing situation, she was also ridiculed by Tang Mengying.
Seeing Su Qianci's tactful behavior, Mother Li's expression eased a little, and she quickly shifted her gaze to the big box that Tang Mengying had brought, smiling happily, "What did Mengying prepare for me this time? You always take so much trouble, it's really hard for you."
