"It's better to trampled on others than to be trampled on." Hearing that, Essie shrugged her shoulders.
Even though Mary lost her power, she was still her mother-in-law. Although she couldn't step on her,
she was on an equal footing. From now on, she didn't need to see her bad face when she entered the
Rong Mansion.
"Mother-in-law, especially the mother-in-law of a rich family, is really a terrible species." Eva sighed.
Vinton's mother was on the same level as Mary. They were not good people. If she wanted to marry
Vinton in the future, it must be a chaotic battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Essie was also a little worried about the future of Eva and her brother. The Xu family was much worse
than the Rong family.
In addition to Elizabeth, there was also a peerless sister-in-law, Valery. Vicki was arrogant, domineering
and overbearing, which was completely incomparable to the wise and mighty Alena. Eva was
straightforward, fiery, rigid and flexible. At that time, it was inevitable to conflict with them.
"Eva, after you marry into the Xu family, you don't have to worry about Elizabeth and Valery, but you
must coax Vicki. If she is willing to be your backer, no one dares to hurt you."
"That old lady must be very difficult to serve." Eva curled her lips. From the lukewarm attitude of Vicki to
her several times, he could see that she didn't like her very much. She didn't make things difficult for
her because she loved her grandson, Vinton very much.
"Anyway, she is better than Elizabeth and her daughter," Essie said.
"That's true." Eva nodded. Elizabeth and her daughter were the worst of the worst. Vinton was lucky
that he was not infected by their viciousness.
Taking a sip of the juice on the tea table, Essie asked thoughtfully, "Hasn't your father come to you
these days?"
"No." Eva shook her head.
With a sneer, Essie said, "He has been having a hard time recently. Since you told Wendy that
Elizabeth was going to change the crown prince's wife at the midnight club that day, his father went to
find Elizabeth. In order to comfort the Xiao family, Elizabeth, that old fox, argued that she had never
had such a plan. It really poured cold water on the Fang family. Moreover, Wendy's father had a
problem with his brother-in-law, York, and almost removed his position as vice president. He is treading
on thin ice in the Xiao group now. "
"Your trick is killing two birds with one stone," Eva said with a smile. She was happy as long as she
thought of the frustrated look of the York family.
"He is a snobbish man. If he really loses his power in the Xiao family, he might want to win you over
and rely on you. After all, you are his biological daughter, much closer than his uncle. Besides, as long
as you marry my brother, you will be the wife of the crown prince of the Xu family. By then, as his
father-in-law, he will be able to get some benefit from you," Essie analyzed, reminding her bestie to be
mentally prepared.
"In his dream. My biggest wish is to see him lose everything. Besides, as soon as the new year is over,
my mother will marry my father Han. At that time, he will be the new father of Jade and me. " Eva
gritted her teeth.
After thinking for a while, Essie asked, "Eva, who is your new father? He is very mysterious."
"In fact, I don't know. I only know that he is from country C and comes from a rich family." Eva threw up
his hands and said, "Anyway, as long as he treats my mother well, that's enough. My mother has
suffered most of her life, and she has never remarried for the sake of Jade and me. Now it's time for
her to enjoy her life."
Essie nodded. Mother fang was having a good time after so much hardship in her life.
On Friday, Essie invited Mrs. Rose and Irene to the Rong Mansion. She had a table of afternoon tea in
the garden, and Leila and Ivy were also there.
"Irene, I heard that you work in the Emperor? Are you used to working for Zac? " Leila asked.
"I'm fine. Cousin takes good care of me." Irene smiled, "He likes my coffee very much."
"That's good." Leila forced a smile.
Mrs. Rose looked at Essie with a hint of worry on her face. "Essie, I heard that your mother and your
mother-in-law had a quarrel again. Will your relationship be affected?"
Before Essie could say anything, Leila interrupted, "Auntie, don't worry. It is a blessing in disguise. Dad
has given Essie the position of the hostess of the Rong family because of that matter."
Her words didn't make Mrs. Rose feel at ease. If the daughter-in-law took the throne, wouldn't her sister
be even angrier at her daughter-in-law?
"Essie, anyway, she is your mother-in-law. If you have time, talk to her more and clarify the
misunderstanding."
"Okay, I know." Essie nodded. She was just comforting Mrs. Rose. She knew very well that the grudge
between her and Mary could not be solved.
Irene blinked her eyes and said, "Sister in law, did you quarrel with cousin because of this? In those
days, cousin went into his office every day with a terrible face. Everyone in the CEO Office was so
nervous that they didn't even dare to speak loudly."
"It's inevitable for a couple to have fights. We have reconciled." Essie smiled.
"A couple is quarreling at the head of the bed and reconciling at the end of the bed. There is no hatred
overnight between them." Mrs. Rose smiled. She could tell that they were in a good relationship, so
she didn't worry too much about this.
At this time, Albert came. Mrs. Rose stood up and walked towards him. Her brother in law and her
sister were in a bad relationship. She thought she should care about them and put in a good word for
her sister.
"Brother in law, let's take a walk together."
Albert nodded and walked towards the jasmine field with her.
"Brother in law, my sister has suffered a lot these days even if she did something wrong. You have
been married for so many years, and all the obstacles have come over. Is there anything that can't be
solved?" Mrs. Rose persuaded.
"Charlotte, something is not as simple as you think. Since your car accident, your sister has changed a
lot. She is totally different from before. She has done too many wrong things without telling me. Now it's
time for her to face it properly," Albert said meaningfully.
"I think she must be very regretful now. Just give her a chance to change. It's not easy for a couple to
support each other for most of their lives." Mrs. Rose changed in a pleading tone.
"If she is willing to repent, I can give her a chance, but if she continues to be stubborn, I will come to an
end with her," Albert said solemnly. Even if he didn't divorce her and let her continue to be his wife,
their marriage existed in name only.
Mrs. Rose sighed.
At this moment, several shrill birds chirped not far away. She turned her head and saw a bird lying on
the ground, flapping its small wings and struggling to stand up. But as soon as its feet fell on the
ground, it tilted and kept moaning in pain and fear. It looked like a bird that had not yet learned to fly
and fell down from its nest by accident.
"Oh my God! That little thing is injured." She quickly ran to the tree, gently picked up the bird with her
hands, and then walked into the pavilion in front of her.
After checking the injury of the little bird, she asked the servant to bring a bandage and carefully
bandaged the little bird's leg.
Sitting opposite her, Albert looked at her.
He remembered that the first time he saw Mary was because of an injured stray dog. She held it in her
arms and stopped his car, begging her to send them to a nearby pet hospital.
Her heart was as pure and harmless as the snow lotus in the mountain. He didn't want to hurt her at all.
He just wanted to love her and take good care of her.
Somehow, the woman in front of him reminded him of her in the past. Her eyes were as pure as black
crystal, without any impurities. Her still beautiful face was as holy and gentle as an angel. It was difficult
for him to connect with the scheming Charlotte before.
"Fortunately, it only hurt its legs, internal organs and bones are fine. Let's raise it first. When it recovers,
we can send it back to its nest and reunite with its mother." Mrs. Rose smiled. She asked the servant to
find a birdcage and put the birds in it. Then she put water and food in it.
"Charlotte, you have also changed," Albert said meaningfully.
"People will change," Mrs. Rose flipped her hair at the temples.
"Yes, but some people become bad, and some have become good." Albert smiled bitterly.
A breeze came from afar, mixed with a rich fragrance of flowers.
She closed her eyes, sniffed gently and smiled, "It's the smell of plum blossoms."
Looking at her, Albert was lost in thought for a moment. He remembered that Mary also liked flowers,
especially Jasmine. The jasmine field in the garden was planted by her in person.
She had a keen sense of smell. She knew the flower once closed her eyes and smelled it.
"Charlotte, have you been alone for so many years?" he asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Rose nodded slightly.
"You are still young. There must be a lot of men chasing you in France. Why don't you choose one?"
Albert asked jokingly.
Mrs. Rose lowered her eyes and gently smoothed her bangs which were disheveled by the wind.
"Maybe there is someone in my heart. Although I don't remember who he is, he is still in my heart and
has never left. I know it's been so many years. He must have a wife, a child, and even a grandson. But
I really hope that I can remember him again and see him again. " She didn't know why she said that to
Albert. Every time she saw him, she had an indescribable feeling.
Albert's heart twitched fiercely. He had always hated Charlotte. Although she had the same face as
Mary, there was something completely different in her heart.
But at this moment, facing the person in front of him, there was a completely different feeling rising in
his chest, as if he saw the Mary he liked before.
