For the first time, she felt recognized as a family member!
"Silly girl, don't cry, don't cry, from now on, our Ji Family will definitely not let you suffer such grievances..." Ji's mother said with heartfelt distress, pulling her into an embrace.
The patriarch glared at Lu Qinghe, "My granddaughter-in-law, is she someone you can bully? Is she someone you can hit?"
"I was just disciplining my daughter." Lu Qinghe maintained her composure with difficulty.
