"Frankly, if you weren't Suizi's birth mother, I wouldn't want to deal with you. Besides my wife, you are the most cunning person I have ever met."
That comment nearly made Chen Lijun's already skyrocketing blood pressure increase even more.
"How wonderful it must be for you, coming here and acting friendly when you don't even like me!"
No one else would dare to speak to his mother-in-law like this, except this arsehole.
She's on her nerves having him say "Mom" in every other sentence. Chen Lijun spat twice in her heart.
She would never acknowledge him as her son-in-law - never!
"But I know if I can't get along with you, Suizi will be caught in the middle."
"That girl despises me, and you are siding with her against me. Maybe she'll like you even more for that?"
There was a hint of bitterness disguised in the corner of Chen Lijun's mouth.
