Next day

Sitting in front of the old man, who was none other than Grandfather Fei and his son, who was Qin Mei's uncle, Su Xi already saw the greediness in their eyes. 

They wanted money and obviously, now that their grandchild is already married to such a wealthy family, they will try to court favors for them at any cost and try to exploit their resources. 

But this was what, Qin Mei was most afraid of. She doesn't want her mother-in-law to get in a fight with her maternal family but she knew that this matter won't be resolved until and unless someone lets it go. 

Clearing her throat, she spoke first, "Mom(Su Xi), he is my grandfather and he is my uncle.. who found me and my sister after years." 

"I know about them, Mei. They are your family and how can I not be aware of them? It is nice to meet you. We weren't able to meet before the children married each other but at least we cannot meet formally as inlaws." Su Maintained a clean and bright makeover on her face.

"It is nice to meet you, Ms. Su. We have heard a lot about you and your husband... but we weren't expecting Mei to be in a relationship with your son." he was direct.

"I know that as well. But children married and without telling. We do not have anything in our hands. But as I heard earlier, you were trying to fix Mei's marriage to someone whom she never met?" Su Xi raised her eyebrows. 

She doesn't want to have any wrong feelings towards her in-laws but the more important thing was that she needs to cut them off for once so that they won't bother Qin Mei in the future and her sister. 

Her uncle first remained silent but then spoke, "That was something personal, Ms. Su. I would not like to discuss it with you for now." 

"Personal? Your niece is my daughter-in-law, which means she is my daughter now. What is there personal to talk about this? I heard so I asked directly. but I guess, this forced her and my son to get married under such circumstances." 

Su Xi's tongue was sharp as a knife. She wasn't hesitant to speak what she looked into and Gu Yan, who was sitting beside her, also nodded his head. 

While Grandfather Fei and Gu Yan kept their mouth sealed, but that doesn't mean that they have nothing to say. 

At last, grandfather Fei opened his mouth to reply to her question, "Yes, we were getting her married to one of my friend's sons. He was old enough to marry Qin Mei and in return, they would have invested some money in our business as well. That was a double deal for us." 

"So you are admitting that you were selling your granddaughter in return for some investment, am I right Mr. Fei?" This time, Gu Yan asked, making Su Xi pass Grandfather Fei a glare. 

But it looked like he didn't feel any bit of annoyance in it. He was proud of what he was going to do and at this moment, SU Xi really felt bad for Qin Mei. 

'Thank God Ye Shing married her otherwise, her life would have been ruined even more than in the past.' She can only pray to God that this marriage lasts long. 

"I have accepted it with open wings. What is there to not accept? Ladies are supposed to be at home and take care of the children, meanwhile, men will always do work in the company. I guess, Qin Mei reluctantly accepts reality." 

"Not only this grandfather but you are forgetting that I'm not those types of ladies who will just look at home. I wish to be independent and maybe, I'm not fit to be your dream granddaughter." Qin Mei can feel that she was ashamed to call them her maternal family. 

She was sitting in front of her in-laws and her maternal uncle and grandfather were bent to upset her. She Was trying to suppress herself and sound like a dignified lady but in the end, she failed and raised her voice again against the ideology of her grandfather. 

She wanted to live a life where she was respected and her doings were respected but she can see that her maternal family was purely against it.

Her grandfather passed her aware to shut her mouth, "You don't know what is goo-" 

"I guess you aren't aware of what is good for children and what is not. I heard that you married your daughter for money as well and you are talking out what is good for children and what's not?"

"She is my daughter-in-law now. I will not object to her working at all. She is all free to do so and raise herself in her career. Who are you to stop her from pursuing her dreams? right now, I can relate what she has to undergo with you both." 

Su Xi didn't leave any stone to show them their place. Not because she is the mother of the groom but because she feels that this is a simple injustice done to Qin Mei.

See her getting upset, her uncle interfered and try to make them happy, "Oh you are not understanding u, Ms. Su. We..always support Qin Mei in what she is trying to do. Obviously, we are in favor of her progressing her career. How can we not care about her career?" 

He sounded as if he is the most caring uncle but he wasn't. When he saw that his father was ruining everything and Su's family alongside Gu Ya were getting angry by his father's words, he tried to cover up for him. 

But Su Xi shot him a gare, "Who really? Do you think I'm a fool to not understand what you both meant?"
