I’m Only Doing This to Give You Face

Zhang Huanhuan was even angrier now. She thought she could be recognized even as an illegitimate child, but Old Madam Zhang denied it with a single sentence. Now, she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

When the old lady saw the anger in her eyes, her expression turned even uglier.

Old Madam Zhang said, “Miss Zhang, I originally agreed to let you be our family’s illegitimate daughter. But now, I realize that you even got your standing wrong. In order to avoid future trouble, you can take the same status as Mother Wang and the others if you wish to stay.”

“Mom…” Mr. Zhang said in agitation.

“I’m letting her stay only to give you face,” said the old lady.

This girl had just entered the house, but she was already dreaming of being the second miss? How unpresentable.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, “Mom, why don’t we…”

Before she could say anything, the old lady interrupted her.

Old Madam Zhang said, “I know you’re kind, but don’t interrupt me on this matter.”

Zhang Huanhuan was furious. Why was this old lady still alive?

She suppressed her anger, pretending to be pitiful. She said, “Old Madam, I accept, so please don’t be angry.”

“Alright,” the old lady nodded. “Then just stand over there. After we’ve finished eating, you can eat with Mother Wang and the others.”

Zhang Huanhuan nodded sadly and stood beside Mother Wang.

Seeing her standing not far away, Mr. Zhang’s heart ached, but Zhang Nuannuan and Mrs. Zhang were in a good mood.

After dinner.

Old Madam Zhang asked Mr. Zhang to come to the study room alone.

“Mom, you’ve already hurt Huanhuan’s heart by doing this,” he said as he looked at his domineering mother.

Hearing his complaints, she snorted coldly.

She asked, “What, hurt her heart? What heart? She’s an unruly thing. All the things she did today deliberately embarrassed Nuannuan; are you blind, or you really couldn’t tell? It’s fine if you can’t notice that, because at least I’m not blind.”

“Mom, Huanhuan doesn’t mean any harm,” said Mr. Zhang hurriedly.

She retorted, “In your opinion, she’s good in every way, right?”

“Mom…” he said helplessly.

Looking at his helpless look, Old Madam Zhang sighed softly.

She said, “Son, it wasn’t easy for us to get to where we are today. I’m warning you; make sure she behaves. What doesn’t belong to her is not hers. Make her give up any ideas, understand?”

Mr. Zhang was upset with how biased his mother was being with his two daughters.

He said, “Mom, Huanhuan just came back and accidentally made a small mistake. She’s usually very obedient. Just because of this incident, you’re calling her insensible. Isn’t that too much?”

“Are you sure it was an accident?” Old Madam Zhang asked with a gloomy face. “You think it wasn’t intentional? If she didn’t have any improper thoughts, why did she come to this place? Even under my eyes, she wants to look for trouble. She’s still too inexperienced for that.”

Mr. Zhang noticed her anger, immediately changing his attitude.

He said, “Mom, I’ll be responsible. Huanhuan is a good child. Can’t you trust your son for once?”

“If she really was obedient, she wouldn’t have targeted Nuannuan,” the old lady said seriously. “What, does she not know her place? Even our family’s eldest daughter hasn’t sat down yet, but she actually took her seat?”

“It’s just a seat. Why are you thinking so much about it?” Mr. Zhang said unhappily.

Old Madam Zhang replied angrily, “It’s just a seat, you say? It was Zhang Huanhuan who played tricks on Nuannuan. Nuannuan only said that Huanhuan wasn’t qualified to sit before her, but Huanhuan made it sound like Nuannuan wasn’t letting her sit! Can’t you see she’s clearly sowing discord? You didn’t even think about this, but you directly scolded Nuannuan and even asked her to let it slide? Zhang Huanhuan is already slapping Nuannuan in the face, but you still want her to be understanding? How can you say that?”

“Mom, even if you won’t admit it, Huanhuan is indeed my daughter; that’s the truth,” said Mr. Zhang with a frown.

She replied in anger, “Enough! I’m warning you. If you hurt my granddaughter over that unruly thing in the future, I won’t let you off easily.”

He said, “Huanhuan just sees herself as my daughter, as well. She thought there was no need to play priorities, so that’s why she sat down.”

Old Madam Zhang’s face immediately darkened. It seemed that even before this, Zhang Huanhuan had always been living as the Zhang family’s daughter. No wonder she was so daring even with her first time in this place.

She coldly said, “Does she think she can do what she wants because she has your blood? Tell me, what kind of daughter is she? You better remember that she will never be your true daughter for the rest of her life! As long as the Zhang family exists, she has no right to be equals with Nuannuan. You’d better be careful in the future.. If she gets arrogant because of your favoritism, I’ll make her get lost!”
