The Billionaire's Hidden Affection Chapter 707 - 704: Dare Not to Love Deeply 71

"The type of woman I detest the most is one who performs the duties of a maidservant under the guise of virtue."

"Hey, Lady Daqing, please don’t be so harsh."

"I am simply stating a truth. Isn’t there a popular saying lately? As long as you’re beautiful enough, you can wrap n on Earth around your little finger, and even n from outer space..."

"Then why did you ask who that ’Professor’ was before? You clearly knew already, didn’t you?"

"I only looked it up after you ntioned him."

"Empress Dowager, you truly still possess a youthful heart."

Liu Daqing ignored her and continued, "The other day, I attended a gathering where soone brought up Lin Huiyin. They said she was involved with three or four n simultaneously. This involvent, they claid, indirectly caused Xu Zhimo’s plane crash and Jin Yuelin’s lifelong loneliness. They went on to call her the progenitor of ’green tea bitches,’ accusing her of being opportunistic, incredibly selfish, and ruining several n..."

Wan Dongi asked curiously, "How did you respond?"

"Heh, I told them right then: ’Don’t you wish you could do the sa? If you could be involved with three or five n simultaneously and have them utterly devoted to you for life, would you refuse? Forget three or five n; I’d say more than ninety percent of won go their entire lives without finding even one man who’s completely devoted to them...’"

Wan Dongi burst out laughing. "Lady Daqing, sotis I think you’re just a contrarian eccentric! No wonder you’ve never had any close female friends your whole life."

"I’m not being contrarian; it’s you all who are too sensitive. The truth is always harsh, and won just love to deceive themselves, that’s all."

"Dear, it’s your son who’s about to be dumped, yet here you are, lecturing about harsh truths. Don’t you find that a bit odd?"

Even Liu Daqing burst out laughing.

Only then did she think of her son. "You good-for-nothing boy, are you really about to be dumped?"

Wan Dongi also looked at him.

Wan Donglin gave a wry smile. "I feel like I’ve been listening to a children’s debate."

"Impudent brat!"

Wan Donglin imdiately put on an expression of great trepidation. "Mother, please calm your anger."

"Donglin, seriously, what’s really going on with you two? Did Lady Daqing offend Yan Xixi? You know most people can’t handle her brand of harsh truths."

Wan Donglin just gave a wry smile.

Liu Daqing looked at him. "Don’t tell I actually offended her?"

Wan Dongi asked curiously, "Mom, what exactly did you say to her?"

"I just told her that if she wants to marry Donglin, she needs to be prepared for hardship. She isn’t qualified to be a re ’trophy wife’ because her mother isn’t Liu Daqing or Old Zhou. It’s other people’s business if they were born lucky. She can only bla her own misfortune at birth."

"Good heavens, Mom, you said that to her directly?"

"Was I wrong? The Wan family doesn’t need a decorative piece. If she can’t contribute, she’d be better off marrying so other tycoon sooner rather than later. That way, she could live a life of wealth and comfort."

"That may be true, but it’s so terribly harsh. Who could accept being spoken to like that? As you said, she could marry any tycoon and live comfortably. Why on earth would she endure your deaning treatnt?"

"..."

"If anyone dared to speak to that way, I wouldn’t marry him even if he were a prince! What’s so special about him, anyway?"

Liu Daqing glared at her, montarily speechless.

Wan Donglin also seed lost in thought. See, that’s the crux of the matter. If it were Eldest Sister, no one would dare look down on her like this because she’s a daughter of the Wan family. But Yan Xixi? If people talk to you this way, you deserve it.

Liu Daqing turned to her son. "You rotten kid, are you blaming too?"
