Chang Jinlan could sense the change in her daughter, could feel her fear. Normally, her daughter would throw a fit with the family if she so much as tapped her, but now, seeing Feng Ling like this, she was terrified. 'How pathetic.'
To be honest, Chang Jinlan's mindset was rather odd. She didn't want her daughter bullying her daughter-in-law, but of course, she also didn't want her daughter-in-law to be too aggressive and bully her daughter.
Li Ting flinched instinctively when Chang Jinlan slapped her. It didn't actually hurt; she was just terrified.
"Why did you hit me? Is it because you have a daughter-in-law and a grandchild now, so you don't want your own daughter anymore? Are you all ganging up to beat me to death?"
Li Ting was scared of Feng Ling, but she wasn't afraid of her own mother.
Chang Jinlan was filled with frustration. 'Can this daughter of mine even tell good from bad?'
Frustrated as she was, she still helped Li Ting up and had her sit on the sofa.
