Let's Divorce As Agreed
Chapter 1259 - Chapter 1259 Chapter 1258 Mother-in-law Causes Trouble

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1258: Mother-in-law Causes Trouble Chapter 1259: Chapter 1258: Mother-in-law Causes Trouble Su Qian had always been the darling of the heavens, so how could she tolerate this kind of humiliation?

She stood there fuming, and a few other colleagues from the company came over, all hoping to snag themselves a rich husband.

“Su Qian, what are you spacing out for? It’s almost starting, let’s find somewhere to sit.” Today’s attendees were all either wealthy or prestigious, and everyone was eager to meet new people.

“It’s nothing, I just had a chat with President Zhou’s wife.” Su Qian quickly masked her displeasure.

“Are you talking about that woman? I really can’t see what’s so great about her. And she’s just average looking.” Indeed, they were all of the same mind.

“Exactly, it’s like a toad coveting swan meat.” Clearly, they were referring to Bai Lan as the toad.

“Let’s drop it and find somewhere to sit,” Su Qian said with little interest, feeling it was a letdown tonight.

“Yeah, but I think that woman will be divorced soon,” a voice nearby cursed ominously.

The group found their seats.

Bai Lan had already taken her place at the main seat, and her identity was still a matter of speculation for everyone.

Zhou’s mother had not formally introduced her identity to relatives and friends.

Bai Lan felt somewhat awkward but still forced a smile, showing a courteous face; here, she had to armor herself.

Zhou Shengting was still being pulled into conversations by friends and business partners.

Bai Lan looked in his direction from time to time, hoping he would come over soon, but he was surrounded and couldn’t break away for the moment.

Finally, Zhou’s mother saw that relatives and friends were seated and then returned to the main table.

Unfortunately, she ended up sitting right next to Bai Lan, whether intentionally or not?

Bai Lan inwardly groaned, fearing exactly this scenario.

Yet, all she did was sigh inwardly, keeping her posture upright and impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.

But clearly, she was mistaken.

As soon as Zhou’s mother sat down, she smiled at the people around her but scowled when she saw Bai Lan beside her.

“Look at yourself, what do you look like? You’re of no help to Sheng Ting’s career at all. Look around, every other woman here stands confidently and gracefully by her husband’s side,” Zhou’s mother nitpicked.

Bai Lan was speechless. In fact, she could do the same, but Zhou Shengting disagreed, insisting that, since she was pregnant, she should sit still and not fuss about, as he wouldn’t have peace of mind otherwise.

“Mom, I understand,” Bai Lan obediently responded.

At this moment, absolute compliance was the only way to survive.

Zhou’s mother, seeing her humble demeanor, felt even more irritated.

Her tone was still aggressive, “Look at my friend’s daughter-in-law; they married later than you, and now she’s already three months pregnant.”

While speaking, Zhou’s mother even pointed at a woman not far away.

Bai Lan really wanted to tell her that she was pregnant too, but she feared that would only lead to more hassle.

Knowing Zhou’s mother, she would definitely insist on taking her for all sorts of tests, then would want to know whether it was a boy or a girl.

The thought of these issues made her scalp tingle.

So, for now, she would be wise to play dumb, sparing herself a lot of trouble.

Zhou’s mother, seeing her silence, grew even angrier, getting upset at every glance.

Sheng Ting had never caused her worry from a young age, but choosing a spouse truly infuriated her.

However, now he had his own opinions and wouldn’t let her say much anymore.

Especially since everything revolved around his precious wife.
