Chapter 439: Confronting this Unreliable Wicked Mother-in-law

"Xia Chuyi?" As Xia Chuyi had expected, Su Suli revealed a look of surprise, "You are Shiqian’s girlfriend?"

Xia Chuyi smiled faintly and calmly replied, "Yes."

Hearing this, Su Suli looked her up and down several times.

"Did Old Huo come to see you?" Su Suli asked her, frowning.

"Uncle Huo did indeed come to see me," Xia Chuyi admitted without hiding anything.

It was just a little strange that Huo Zhongcheng came to see her, but Su Suli seemed unaware.

Could it be that Huo Zhongcheng and Su Suli had different attitudes about her relationship with Huo Shiqian?

While she was pondering this in her mind, Su Suli asked her another question.

"Your family is from H province?" Su Suli asked somewhat arrogantly.

However, without waiting for her to answer, Su Suli went on, "Your appearance is just barely a match for Shiqian..."

Then, Su Suli shook her head and said, "But your family background, it’s really too low."

"Xia Chuyi, that’s what you’re called, right? I haven’t looked for you out of respect for Shiqian."

"Now that we’ve met here... I’ll let you know my stance."

Su Suli paused for a moment before continuing, "Xia, you know who Shiqian’s father is."

"You must also be aware of Shiqian’s own military rank and position."

"The child Shiqian, with his family background and personal abilities, is not someone the average person can compare with."

"Although I’m a stepmother, I too take pride in him."

While Su Suli was saying this, Xia Chuyi could feel that her words were quite sincere.

Xia Chuyi became somewhat curious and wanted to hear what she really wanted to say.

Only to hear Su Suli continue, "You could say that, though I’m not his birth mother, the affection I have for his well-being is the same as any biological mother’s."

"Xia, let me be frank with you, I don’t think you’re worthy of Shiqian."

Su Suli shook her head, speaking very seriously, "Given Shiqian’s situation and conditions, he should marry someone who can help his career and has a certain background, a capable wife."

Xia Chuyi looked at Su Suli’s expression—Su Suli’s expression was very earnest, and clearly, she truly believed what she said.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Su Suli went on, "Anyway, this is my attitude."

"Xia, if you truly have Shiqian’s best interests at heart, you should take the initiative to leave him!"

Xia Chuyi: ...

Honestly, Su Suli’s speech left her somewhat speechless.

A stepmother holding the script of an evil mother-in-law while believing herself to be very "righteous" ...

She simply said, "Aunt Huo, I think there’s some merit in what you’re saying."

"But nowadays, the country advocates for autonomy in marriage and freedom in love."

"You!" Su Suli was infuriated, saying, "How can you be so selfish?"

"Could it be that being with Shiqian, you’re actually after his status and position?"

"Xia Chuyi, I’m telling you seriously, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re young and beautiful."
