Shengxia, who was about to leave, suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

"I am Huo Tingxiao's mother."

Shengxia was shocked when she heard this. Why would Huo Tingxiao's mother call her?

"Do you have time? Come out and meet me."

A rooftop cafe in the most prosperous commercial district in the north city.

Shengxia and Meng Meiqi sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

The waiter brought the coffee, and Meng Meiqin was the first to break the silence.

"Try it. This coffee is flown in from Brazil. It's very hard to find."

The dignity and arrogance in his words were very obvious, and it was obvious that he thought Shengxia had never tasted such expensive food.

Shengxia saw through it but didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.

"No, I just had coffee before going out. What's the matter with you calling me out?"

Shengxia went straight to the point, but Meng Meiqi was still obsessed with the issue of coffee.

"This is different from what you drink. You will regret it if you don't try it."

Sheng Xia smiled lightly and said deliberately: "How can there be any regrets? I can just ask Ting Xiao to bring me here for a drink some other day."

She knew that Meng Meiqin was deliberately humiliating her and saying that she was not worthy of Huo Tingxiao, and was trying to remind her that her family background was low and she couldn't even afford decent imported high-end coffee.

Sheng Xia didn't know why Huo Tingxiao's mother thought so. Their Sheng family's family background was indeed not as noble as the Huo family, but it shouldn't be so that they couldn't afford a cup of better coffee, right?

Could it be that in Meng Meiqin's heart, she came from the mountains?

As a medical family, the Sheng family should be well-known in North City, right? Could it be that Huo Tingxiao's mother really didn't know anything about it?

Whether she knew it or not, Shengxia said this on purpose to irritate her.

Sure enough, Meng Meiqin's expression changed instantly, and her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Shengxia.

This woman actually openly provoked her!

"Our Ting Xiao is rich enough to rival a country. Whoever gets close to him will naturally have everything he wants. From childhood to adulthood, there has never been a shortage of girls flocking to him."

Shengxia nodded, "Yeah, what a coincidence, I am the same, there are always boys pursuing me."

"You!" Meng Meiqin was speechless, "You still feel proud?"

Sheng Xia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Huh? Weren't you very proud when you used this to praise Ting Xiao just now?"

"Ting Xiao is a man, how can you, a woman, be the same?" Meng Meiqin vowed.

"Besides, what is Ting Xiao's identity? Aren't you relying on his power and status in everything?"

Shengxia chuckled when she heard that.

"Do I rely on his power and position? Do I rely on him for my medical skills? Or do I rely on him for my status as an unknown painter?"

"Or do you think that with my ability and financial resources, I can't even afford a cup of Brazilian coffee?"

Meng Meiqi was choked by Shengxia’s words.

She just wanted to call Shengxia out and give her a good scolding so as to solidify her authority and status as the future mother-in-law, but who knew that Shengxia would not buy it at all!

Of course she knew about Shengxia's many extraordinary identities, and she accepted this marriage because of Shengxia's excellence, but her daughter-in-law must be under her control!

After all, Huo Tingxiao no longer listens to her. If her future daughter-in-law is still rebellious, then won't she, as the mother-in-law, have no say in the future?

Therefore, Meng Meiqi made up her mind that she must catch Shengxia!

So Meng Meiqi calmed herself down.

She gently picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and looked calm and composed.

"No matter what happened in the past, since you are now in a relationship with my son, you must behave properly. I will never allow any stain on you to affect my son's reputation."

When Shengxia heard this, she smiled and asked, "Aunt, why do I remember that you didn't agree with me and Tingxiao being together?"

"Now that you've taught me so much, do you agree?"
