Chapter 505: Chapter 505

Originally, Matriarch Murong would not attend the birthday banquet of the Qu family’s grandchildren. In Matriarch Murong’s heart, although her family had to rely on the Qu family, the Qu family’s grandchildren did not have the qualifications to make her, the mistress of the Murong family, appear.

However, this time was different from the past. Their family had just produced a criminal who had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, although the higher-ups had yet to issue a verdict. However, Matriarch Murong knew in her heart that the Murong family was doomed this time. She had already asked her youngest daughter to go back and whisper into Qu Yaobing’s ear to help the Murong family.

Matriarch Murong had originally thought that the Qu family would still help the Murong family this time on account of her youngest daughter, Murong Ying, and her granddaughter, Murong Qi. However, she had not expected that after waiting for a few days, she would hear from her youngest daughter that the Qu family was not going to interfere in the Murong family’s affairs.

This was equivalent to letting the Murong family fend for themselves.

After hearing this news, how could Matriarch Murong sit still? After receiving the invitation from the Qu family, she had decided to come without a second thought.

Matriarch Murong had decided to attend the Qu family’s birthday banquet for Qu Haocheng, but she was still an old lady who valued her reputation more than anything else. She had deliberately arrived a little late to show off her identity.

Matriarch Murong thought that her arrival would become the focus of the entire hall. Matriarch Murong was really worthy of being Murong Qi’s grandmother. Murong Qi loved to be in the limelight and thought that she was really the successor of her grandmother.

However, Matriarch Murong, who appeared after Chen Meng’er, was destined to become cannon fodder. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Chen Meng’er. Meanwhile, the Qu family members were all circling around Chen Meng’er and did not notice Matriarch Murong’s appearance at all. Matriarch Murong was very angry. She managed to suppress the anger in her heart with great difficulty. She needed to maintain her image as a wealthy old lady.

Matriarch Murong was already holding back her anger. She did not like Chen Meng’er, who stole all of her limelight. She sized up Chen Meng’er and muttered in her heart, “She looks like a vixen at such a young age. She definitely won’t be a good person when she grows up.” Chen Meng’er felt Matriarch Murong’s gaze on her and could not help but roll her eyes in her heart. She knew that Matriarch Murong might be plotting against her in her heart.

However, Chen Meng’er indicated that she would not bother with an old lady who was on the verge of death. If she remembered correctly, this Matriarch Murong did not have many years left in her life. To be honest, Chen Meng’er still felt quite sorry for Matriarch Murong. This old lady was a woman with a hard life. Her entire life was spent either fighting with her husband’s mistresses or helping her son fight for the Murong family’s property.

However, in the end, she still compromised and brought that illegitimate child back to the Murong family all while she snatched back the Murong family’s property. However, her son was a disappointing, idle good-for-nothing son. If the Murong family’s property was handed over to him, sooner or later, it would all be gone.

“Oh, this child is so beautiful, whose is she? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Matriarch Murong ignored Murong Ying and looked straight into Chen Meng’er’s eyes as she asked with a smile.

Although Matriarch Murong did not usually go out, she was very familiar with the faces of the upper class society in the capital. She was sure that she had never seen Chen Meng’er’s face before, so she was sure that Chen Meng’er was not someone from their circle. When Matriarch Murong thought of Chen Meng’er’s identity, she looked down on her even more.
