[✓]Their Substitute Marriage

Chapter 73: The Dove Occupying the Magpie’s Nest Was Still as Confident as Ever
“Is that so? Then I have no interest in participating,” Bei Qingqing said coldly.

Bei Yunsong and Sun Hongmei’s faces immediately darkened.

They were already giving her face by announcing to the public that Bei Qingqing was their adopted daughter, and she was still so ungrateful!

The more Sun Hongmei looked at Bei Qingqing, the more she disliked her. In her heart, she felt that Bei Bei was her own child, and also the most similar to herself. Bei Qingqing did not have the slightest bit of upbringing with Gu Xiang, and she did not seem like a lady from a wealthy family.

Bei Qingqing was indeed not interested. After all, she had been disappointed in this family many times. This was not the first time such a thing had happened. Bei Qingqing actually felt like laughing.

Bei Bei looked at this awkward scene and felt that her chance had come. Thus, she pretended to be pitiful and said to Bei Qingqing, “I’m fine with it. If you care about your reputation as an adopted daughter, I can give in.”

After saying that, she turned her head around and said with a sad expression, “Dad, mom, since sister Qingqing cares so much, please announce at the banquet that Qingqing is your biological child. Just tell them that I am the adopted daughter.”

Seeing Bei Bei’s expression of compromise, Bei Qingqing was speechless. She sneered and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? You’re the adopted daughter in the first place. Don’t act like you’re wronged.”

Bei Bei was stunned for a moment and immediately cried out loud.

This behavior made Bei Yunsong and Sun Hongmei anxious. They quickly said, “Aren’t you going a little too far?! To us, Bei Bei is our biological daughter!”

“Yeah, how can you talk like that? Bei Bei is your sister. Even if she isn’t biological, we still have feelings for her. You are being too excessive!” Sun Hongmei was livid.

Bei Qingqing’s heart was cold. Yes, it had already reached the point of no return. It had already reached the point where they could not differentiate between their biological daughter and adopted daughter.

Bei Qingqing could not be bothered to argue with them, so she said coldly, “Then you guys should just focus on raising Bei Bei. Why do you still have to announce that you recognize me to the public?”

Bei Yunsong was very angry when he heard Bei Qingqing’s words. If it were not for the fact that the Bei Family’s business had plummeted due to the Chen Family’s influence recently, they would not have come to acknowledge Bei Qingqing. Not to mention announcing her identity to the public, even if it was the identity of an adopted daughter, they would not be willing to give it to her.

Bei Bei looked at her parents’ angry expressions and felt very happy in her heart. This was the outcome she wanted. When her parents hated Bei Qingqing more and more, her position in the Bei family would be stable.

It was because she needed to use Bei Qingqing’s disrespectful attitude to show that she was sensible.

Thus, Bei Bei immediately tried to persuade them both. “Dad, mom, don’t be angry. I know sister Qingqing definitely didn’t do it on purpose. She just doesn’t know how difficult it is for our family.”

After saying that, Bei Bei turned her head and said to Bei Qingqing, “Sister Qingqing, don’t be angry. Dad and mom didn’t mean it that way. It’s fine for me to suffer a little, but don’t misunderstand dad and mom.”

Bei Qingqing was losing patience. Bei Bei was downright shameless! She planned to rebuke them and chase them away.

However, before she could say anything, a cold voice came from upstairs. “This is the Chen Family! This is not a place for you to behave atrociously. Get out of here before I lose my temper!”

Chapter 74: Isn’t It Enough That You Have Me?
Bei Qingqing then turned her head. She did not know when Chen Jiazhi appeared, but he was already standing at the stairs.

Seeing Chen Jiazhi’s sullen expression, the Bei Family members started to panic.

After all, they dared to act arrogantly in front of Bei Qingqing, but they did not dare to have any disrespectful actions in front of Chen Jiazhi.

With no other choice, the Bei Family members left unwillingly. Before they left, Bei Yunsong and Sun Hongmei glared at Bei Qingqing.

Under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards, the three of them were driven out of the Chen Family.

“This heartless thing. I regret giving birth to a girl like that! She has no conscience at all. She’s simply an ingrate!” The more Sun Hongmei thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Now, I’m only giving face to the Chen Family. I won’t argue with them until our Bei Family becomes stronger. Chen Jiazhi is not even worthy to carry my shoes. He is acting so arrogantly in front of me! This disappointing daughter has grown wings. She dares to treat us like this just because she has the support of the Chen Family.” Bei Yunsong gnashed his teeth in anger.

“Don’t talk about her. I get angry when I hear her name. I don’t even know why all the good things have been snatched away by her! The position of the Young Madam of the Chen Family belongs to our Bei Bei! Not only did she not take the initiative to give it up, she even dared to bare her teeth at us!” Sun Hongmei said indignantly.

“That’s right. My precious daughter, you have suffered. Today, you were humiliated,” Bei Yunsong said with heartache.

Bei Bei felt very proud when she heard her parents comforting her like this.

However, Bei Bei said, “We came with a mission today, and I didn’t want to argue with her. I just didn’t expect her to be so angry.”

When Bei Yunsong and Sun Hongmei heard about the mission, they also sighed and asked, “What should we do now?”

Bei Bei thought for a while and said, “Dad, mom, you don’t have to worry. I have other ways.”

...

As for Bei Qingqing, after the Bei Family left, she was so angry that she could not even eat breakfast. She really could not understand how such people could exist in this world! How could her biological parents be like this?!

Chen Jiazhi looked at the depressed Bei Qingqing and quickly comforted her, “Don’t be angry. It’s really not worth it to be angry for these people. It’s enough to have me by your side in the future. I’m your family.”

Bei Qingqing felt warm inside. She raised her head and asked, “I want to visit my adoptive mother today. Is that okay?”

“Then I’ll go with you,” Chen Jiazhi said lightly as he held Bei Qingqing’s hand.

The two of them arrived at Gu Xiang’s ward.

Bei Qingqing did not mention the unhappy things that had happened to her. She only told Gu Xiang about the good things that had happened recently.

Gu Xiang was very happy to hear that. She was also very pleased to see Bei Qingqing’s smile. As long as she could see her daughter’s happy face, she would be satisfied.

“Jiazhi, I’m relieved that Qingqing met you. I can tell that you’re a good child. You’re really dedicated to Qingqing. I don’t have any expectations. I just hope that the two of you will be well. I also thank you for taking care of her.”

When Bei Qingqing heard her foster mother’s words, her heart felt warm. She said, “Mom, the two of us are going to have a wedding soon. I hope that you will get well soon. I hope that you can come to my wedding.”

“Okay! Mom will get well soon.”

The whole family smiled, and the entire ward was filled with laughter.
