Hearing this barrage of seemingly accusatory words from Qin Huairu, Mrs. Jia’s already agitated heart was instantly set ablaze. Her eyes widened, glaring at Qin Huairu with a piercing, venomous gaze.
"Qin Huairu, you’ve really grown some backbone, haven't you? After a few days of not teaching you a lesson, you’ve forgotten who is in charge of this house, daring to point out my faults? Who do you think I’m working myself to the bone out there for? It’s all for the sake of the Jia Family living better. Yet look at you all—a bunch of heartless ingrates!" Mrs. Jia shrieked, her voice sharp and trembling.
Seeing Mrs. Jia so agitated, Qin Huairu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly, her face full of sincerity. "Mom, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t mean to blame you at all. I know clearly that everything you do is for the good of our family. What I just said was only to help you understand the vast disparity in power between our family and First Uncle. You’ve seen it yourself: because you offended him, life has already become difficult for Dongxu at the Rolling Mill. Today, First Uncle even publicly ended their mentorship. I’m afraid Dongxu’s future at the Rolling Mill will be incredibly precarious."
