Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 783 Someone Else’s Pawn

"Since she doesn’t appreciate it, there’s no need to save face for her," he said. "Since you’ve rejected the opportunity and insist on making this house restless, then you no longer need to come here. Pack up your things and leave immediately."

Geng Mingli, who had been listening at the kitchen door for a while, was so angry she felt like dying. She could tell her husband was truly furious this time, and even though the incident with Yueryuer stealing jewelry had occurred before, he had probably still cared about saving her face and hadn’t gone to extremes.

But now, she feared Yueryuer would never easily enter the courtyard again. That foolish child had truly ruined years of her efforts and even dragged her son into the mess.

She quickly gave a few instructions and left the living room, pretending to be unaware of what had transpired outside: "Old Lu, tidy up and get ready for dinner."

Cui Yueyue’s eyes brimmed with tears: "Mom, Dad is driving me away."

Geng Mingli said somewhat guiltily, "Old Lu, this is Yichen and Luo Qiao’s first visit. If Yueyue leaves home at this time, people in the courtyard will gossip, and it won’t be good for Luo Qiao’s reputation."

Lu Yichen responded coldly, "What does this have to do with Qiaoqiao? Auntie Geng’s comments are becoming more and more interesting. No wonder Cui Yueyue has been raised to be unaware and have no sense of propriety. Today has indeed been an eye-opener for me."

Geng Mingli was suddenly at a loss for words and looked towards Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi said, "Since she doesn’t want the opportunity and wishes to avoid disgrace, she’d better leave quickly. If you think what she said and did today is right, then you can leave as well."

Wang Xiaoxin stood at the kitchen door, watching everything and thinking to herself: No matter how well you get along on ordinary days, when it comes to matters concerning their own children, they will always be biased.

As a stepmother, Geng Mingli was better than some, at least having never stinted on Yixuan and his siblings’ expenses, but she also didn’t truly treat them as her own children.

Ever since Cui Yueyue’s misdeed, the previous relationships in this family had shattered. The father-in-law wouldn’t compromise the welfare of his biological children for his stepwife’s sake. If Geng Mingli couldn’t see that, she would likely have to leave the family sooner or later.

Lu Xinyi spoke coldly, "You heard what she just said. I don’t want this family to be in turmoil every day. It’s not that I’m not giving her a chance; she simply doesn’t appreciate it. I, Lu Xinyi, cannot be led by the nose by face-saving forever."

Geng Mingli knew it was futile to say more, so she just grabbed Cui Yueyue and said, "Are you feverish in the head to say such things?"

Seeing that her own mother wasn’t helping her either, Cui Yueyue panicked: "Mom, I just wanted to stand up for Sister Jinwen, that’s why I said what I did. Besides, I wasn’t wrong."

No matter how big the room is, Cui Yueyue’s words caused various expressions to appear on the faces of the people inside.

Geng Mingli now resented the Luo Family as well, wondering how long they intended to use her and her son. She hadn’t known until later the true intentions behind Luo Ziming’s introduction of her to Old Lu.

Had it not been for the incident before, she would have remained grateful to the Luo Family, not realizing that they were merely Luo Ziming’s pawns. She didn’t know what the Luo Family really wanted, but she knew Luo Ziming was despicable.

Geng Mingli realized that only when the Luo Family was convinced that Yueyue was worthless could the girl stop causing trouble, so she pulled someone to put on a coat and left the courtyard.

Feng Nanshuang watched as Cui Yueyue was escorted out of the courtyard and thought to herself, what a fool to have squandered such a good opportunity.

Cui Jianhua wanted to follow but was stopped by Feng Nanshuang: "Yueyue is ignorant, but are you as well? She made a mistake, and if Dad is driving her away, she brought it on herself. We haven’t done anything to wrong this family, so you stay put and behave."

Cui Jianhua thought about it and agreed. If he went after her today, he feared Dad would also be angry with him. Ah, Yueyue is really becoming less and less sensible, all because of Luo Jinwen.

Before Geng Mingli returned, the food in the kitchen was ready. Wang Xiaoxin directed Feng Nanshuang to bring the dishes to the table, and everyone moved to the dining room. At that moment, Geng Mingli also hurried back after sending off Cui Yueyue.

She approached Luo Qiao: "Luo Qiao, I’m truly sorry about today. Yueyue is ignorant and has caused you trouble."
