In the evening, Qi Wei mentioned Shen Lin again at the dinner table.
"Wei Wei, you are still a student now, your main task is to study! You can't..."
My dad's words were interrupted before he could finish.
Qi Wei's face was full of dissatisfaction:
"Dad, how many times do I have to say it! I am Qi Miao now! Not Wei Wei! Why do you always get it wrong!"
My dad smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands under the table.
Actually, I knew he regretted letting me give my name to Qi Wei.
In this life, I will make him see the true colors of that mother and daughter.
It's just that the stepmother hasn't made any big moves yet, I have to wait for the right moment.
The stepmother looked at my dad reproachfully, "Lao Qi, the child chose to take your surname, that shows how much she trusts you! Yet, you can't even remember a name!"
"Mom, don't blame dad, I know he means well for me! It's just that Shen Lin is the eldest son of the Shen Group, he will inherit the family business in the future!"
The stepmother never opposed Qi Wei's contact with Shen Lin.
She had been grooming Qi Wei as a socialite for a long time, placing all her hopes of marrying into a wealthy family on her daughter, hoping she could marry a rich man legitimately.
Qi Wei not only had outstanding looks, but excelled in other aspects as well.
"Good daughter, I heard that after his father's death, Shen Lin completely fell out with his family. And he also has a half-brother from another mother, although Mr. Shen favored Shen Lin, the final outcome is uncertain!"
Qi Wei's eyes were firm: "Mom, believe me! Shen Lin will definitely inherit the company!"
She changed the subject: "But he has been without a mother since he was young, now his father is also gone, and he has fallen out with the family, how pitiful!
"Why not let him move into our house and feel the warmth of a family! Dad, you are so kind-hearted, you surely won't refuse, right?"
"No! I disagree!"
Before my dad could speak, I directly opposed.
What a joke!
Qi Wei actually wanted to bring Shen Lin to our house, she really treated this place as her own!
"Lao Qi, Shen Lin is not an ordinary person, you don't want to keep being just a factory manager, right? With the help of the Shen family, your small company can go public in minutes! Besides, Shen Lin is the future son-in-law I have set my eyes on, you really need to think about it!"
The stepmother's eyes were almost killing me, but I insisted on not allowing Shen Lin to come over.
"Dad, you are the head of the family, you have the final say in this house! We are a decent family, how can we let a stranger man move in!"
I didn't want to put my dad in a difficult position, but there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.
I shuddered at the thought of the past life, I couldn't let myself fall into the wolf's den again!
"Tsk tsk tsk, sis, why are your thoughts so dirty! I am just helping a classmate in need, don't you understand friendship! What stranger man moving in? He is our fellow student!
"Moreover, Shen Lin's background is so pitiful, he has fallen out with his family, has no money at all, and even struggles to eat. Since we have the ability, why not help him temporarily! Besides, the college entrance exam is next year, he can't stay here forever, right?"
The stepmother directly threatened: "Lao Qi, what do you think of my daughter? She is just helping others for fun, being friendly with classmates! You keep saying that I am the mistress of this house, do you really consider us as a family? I think I should leave with my daughter!"
The stepmother stood up to leave.
I could tell from my dad's expression that the stepmother had won again this time.
How could my honest dad compete with the cunning stepmother.
I suppressed the anger in my heart.
It's okay, I will soon make my dad see their true colors.
