In front of Xia Yingluo, she did not dare to be disrespectful although she was from a wealthy family.

There were different levels of wealth. Without a doubt, the Li Family was one of the giants. Not to mention the mysterious Xia Family who could determine the lives and deaths of people, a force no one dared to provoke.

Sheng Yuqiong greeted Xia Yingluo enthusiastically, held her hand, and said with a smile, "Good girl. Come over and let me take a look. Have you lost weight? It must be hard during filming. Some days ago, I bought some premium bird's nest which is really difficult to get a hold of. Later, our Ah Zheng will send some over. It breaks my heart to see how small you are..."

Her attitude was completely different from when she talked to Jin Ling'er.

Looking at her excellent performance, Jin Ling'er felt a little indignant and sad. She already knew that it was not good to mix with wealthy people because civilian girls like her were not taken seriously, but when she really faced a situation like that, she could not help but feel sad.

This Aunt Sheng... really liked Yingluo, right?

She doted on Yingluo so much it was as if she wished Yingluo was her daughter-in-law.

Jin Ling'er was suddenly scared by her own thoughts and could not help but look again at the two of them.

Xia Yingluo glanced at her, calmly took her hands out of Sheng Yuqiong's hands and politely smiled. "Thank you, Aunt Sheng. It is such good timing. Now, Jing'er is sick, but I haven't had the time to prepare anything for her. I can use your premium bird's nest and make something nutritious for her."

Sheng Yuqiong's face suddenly fell.

Premium bird's nest was not easy to find and was the best of quality. If it weren't for Xia Yingluo's valuable position, she would not even have given it to her! However, Xia Yingluo wanted to give them to this bitch?!

How was that bitch worthy?!

Sheng Yuqiong gritted her teeth and impulsively opposed. "No way!"

Xia Yingluo's smile vanished. "Aunt Sheng, are you mad at me?"

Only then did Sheng Yuqiong realize that she had lost her cool. How could she treat someone from the Li Family with this attitude? She quickly forced out a smile. "I don't mean it this way, Yingluo. I mean to say that the premium bird's nest is so precious that you should leave it for yourself. There's not much of it and there won't be enough to go around. I just care about you and that you're not taking care of yourself well enough."

Xia Yingluo smiled sarcastically. "Are you saying that my parents aren't taking enough care of me?"

"No! That's not what I mean! Seriously..." Sheng Yuqiong got anxious and quickly said, "Everyone knows what your family has. Your parents love you so much and would never mistreat you. I'm just showing my concern... Yes, Ah Zheng also usually says that we should share anything good with you. He has always been concerned about you."

Sheng Yuqiong shamelessly changed the subject to her son.

These years, she had been very worried about Du Zheng's marriage. It seemed that the only person who was worthy of him was the distinguished member of the Li Family in front of her now. If Du Zheng could marry her, it would really help with their business. As such, she always implicitly urged Du Zheng to spend more time with Yingluo. Unfortunately, her son was like a piece of wood and seemed to not understand her as he only treated Xia Yingluo as his younger sister.

Sheng Yuqiong was very anxious and could only seize every opportunity to be their matchmaker.

However, even Xia Yingluo seemed to not understand her implicit words. She slightly tilted her head and smiled sweetly. "Yes, I have to thank you and Brother Du Zheng for your concern. Besides, he's overly nervous. Jing'er is my good friend. No one would dare to bully her, right, Aunt Sheng?"

Sheng Yuqiong's smile stiffened again. She secretly hated her son for not being smart enough to chase after a valuable girl like Xia Yingluo and instead, he chose to take care of a weed! She could not help but glare at Jin Ling'er. This jinx!

Xia Yingluo monitored her every movement. After seeing her glare at Jin Ling'er fiercely, she could not help but walk to Jin Ling'er's bed and sit down. She held Jin Ling'er's hands tightly and warmly said, "You should take care of yourself well. After you're better, you should come over to my house. My parents miss you and say that you're more obedient than me. They really like you."

Jin Ling'er knew that she was supporting her. She sniffed and nodded. "Ok!"

Xia Yingluo said, "When you're better, bring Brother Du Zheng with you and talk to my parents!"

Jin Ling'er nodded again. "Ok!"

After seeing this scene, Sheng Yuqiong's face fell. Although she was snobbish, she could read the situation. It was obvious that Xia Yingluo was showing her support for Jin Ling'er and she was sure that Xia Yingluo heard her insulting Jin Ling'er just now!Seriously, Xia Yingluo how dare you pretend to be ignorant in front of the Du Family and try to bring this poor jinx into the family!

At once, Sheng Yuqiong got up in dissatisfaction.

Xia Yingluo turned around and smiled at Sheng Yuqiong. "It's settled then, Aunt Sheng. When Ling'er is feeling better, she will bring Brother Du Zheng with her to my house." Before Sheng Yuqiong could reject her, Xia Yingluo said again, "Recently, things have been busy at home. My dad and older brother have been discussing about finding a partner."

Sheng Yuqiong swallowed her words immediately.

She always worked hard because she wanted her son's business to prosper. Although Du Zheng was close friends with Li Shaohui, Li Shaohui rarely invited him to his house and the two of them were always busy with their own work. In fact, Du Zheng had not visited the Li Family as a guest for a long time. For relationships to be strengthened, they had to interact more frequently. Sheng Yuqiong understood this very well.

Although this bitch called Jin Ling'er was poor, she was close to Xia Yingluo and it was a good idea for Du Zheng to visit the Li Family more often. As for their marriage? It was still impossible!

With this in mind, Sheng Yuqiong smiled at Xia Yingluo again. "Sure, Ah Zheng also misses your parents very much."

The three of them did not speak more. Sheng Yuqiong bade them farewell and left the ward.

Only then was Jin Ling'er relieved and sighed. "Seriously, why is this Aunt Sheng so horrible? Yingluo, are people from wealthy families all like her? Do they all like to find fault with ordinary people?"

Xia Yingluo shrugged. "She's still one of the better ones."
