She knew, despite her wish for her future daughter-in-law to co from a more reputable family than the wives of Jee Haijian’s other sons, it was an uphill battle.
Although her son bore the surna Jee, he enjoyed none of the family’s resources and had to rely totally on his talent to beco an internationally acclaid, two-ti movie star forging his own career in the entertainnt industry.
With his awkward status in the Jee family, it was a considerable challenge to find a lady of high status for a match.
After all, the more wealthy and influential a family was, the more they distanced themselves from celebrities.
While celebrities could amass substantial wealth quickly, aristocratic families frowned upon them, looking down on them as re actors.
Furthermore, many of these families held prejudices against the entertainnt industry, viewing it as a sordid industry.
For both n and won in the industry, they were seen as insincere when it ca to relationships.
With these factors combined, it would be hard for her son to marry a lady of high status.
This was why she particularly despised Ye Xingbei.
In her eyes, Ye Xingbei was rely a pitiable figure relying on others for support.
The only advantage was that she was attractive and could make good money.
But what’s the use of being pretty and wealthy?
Her son was also handso and even more successful than Ye Xingbei.
She was not short of money.
What she lacked was family background and status.
She dread of her son marrying the most outstanding lady from a distinguished family, outshining the children born to her ex-husband and his mistress!
Back in the day, because she couldn’t match her husband’s mistress in terms of family background, Senior Master Jee allowed him to divorce her and marry the mistress instead.
She would never permit her son to marry a woman with a lower social status than herself!
She recoiled at the thought of Ye Xingbei being worse off than even herself.
Now, knowing that Ye Xingbei is Senior Mada Xie Xie’s granddaughter and the sister of Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, she suddenly found herself interested in Ye Xingbei.
She went through the list of unmarried won of the sa age as her son in Beijing, and found that the most influential one was indeed the granddaughter of Senior Mada Xie Xie.
Furthermore, Senior Mada Xie was a level higher than her forr father-in- law.
If her son were to marry Ye Xingbei, all children of Jee Haijian would fall behind her son in societal hierarchy.
This discovery thrilled her beyond words.
She was convinced that Ye Xingbei liked her son, and in her subconscious, if her son simply nodded in agreent, Ye Xingbei would instantly fall head-over-heels for him.
A triumphant grin spread across her face, along with a look of tenderness that did not betray her pride, “Master Xie, just now was a misunderstanding. I was unaware that Beibei is your sister and falsely accused her of pestering Xiu. I will have Xiu apologize to Beibei…”
She raised her voice to call her son who was behind the door, “Xiu?”
Jee Xiu, who had been eavesdropping behind the door, imdiately opened it and stepped out to join Ho Yiman. “Mom.”
Ho Yiman looked at him with a chastising smile, “You child, why didn’t you tell your mother earlier that Beibei is Senior Mada Xie Xie’s granddaughter? I’ve always admired Senior Mada Xie Xie for her integrity and fairness. Since Beibei is her granddaughter, she surely has a good character. From now on, you should take good care of Beibei.”
“Mom!” Jee Xiu was both shocked and ecstatic.
His mother’s disdain for Ye Xingbei had always stressed him most.
Now, his mother seed to have accepted his relationship with Ye Xingbei, which made him spill over with joy.
Seeing Jee Xiu’s excited expression, Ho Yiman gave a knowing smile. She then turned to Ye Xingbei and said, “Beibei, you ca to visit Xiu on set, didn’t you? Xiu hasn’t had breakfast yet. Why don’t you join him?”
After saying this, she looked at Ye Xingbei, expecting her to effusively call her “auntie” and humbly try to win her favor.
After all, only by making her happy could Ye Xingbei hope to accomplish her goal and beco her son’s girlfriend.
