Chapter 819: Birthday Party (5)
My son…
Teach him a lesson…
It sounded like a very strict tone, but the intimacy and protectiveness in it were obvious.
Old Lady Xue was stunned for a long time before she suddenly understood something. She gulped and said, “You’re saying that Xiang Huai is your son?”
Xiang Huai’s father smiled and did not speak. He had silently affirmed it.
Old Lady Xue stood rooted to the ground, as though digesting this fact.
Liu Yiqiu and Xue Yao, who had followed behind the old lady, were also stunned by this news.
The three of them stood there like clowns, making the four people in the room who wanted to speak nicely unable to talk.
In the end, it was Ye Li who reminded her first, “Mom, Xixi’s banquet is going to start soon. Why don’t you go take a look outside and see if everything is ready?”
Only then did Old Lady Xue return to her senses. She nodded and walked out.
After leaving the room, Old Lady Xue and the other two stood there. After a long while, the old lady finally reacted. “That gigolo actually has such a huge background, but what exactly does he fancy about that little fool? Why does his family value that little fool so much?!”
Liu Yiqiu was also going crazy with envy. She felt as though she was soaked in vinegar.
Wasn’t it being said that their families were not compatible?
But the Xiang family and the Xue family were perfectly at ease with each other!
Not to mention, Mr. Xiang, who was unfathomable and whose true thoughts were impenetrable, had an att.i.tude as he sat beside Xue Sheng that indicated he gave him a lot of respect.
As for Lin Jing, that intimacy as she stuck to Ye Li…
Liu Yiqiu took a deep breath and said sourly, “That’s right. Xue Xi has hooked up with such a family. No wonder they’re now staying in the capital and don’t ever come back. Mom, Sister-in-law’s tone just now is completely different from before when she was being submissive!”
Old Lady Xue only reacted after being reminded. “She actually ordered me?”
Ye Li had asked them to go out.
But she was only helping her out and had no intention to chase her away.
The old lady suddenly realized this and shouted angrily, “How dare she? I’m her mother-in-law! I’ll go ask her for an explanation!”
After saying that, she rushed into the room.
It was rare for Liu Yiqiu to be rational. She hurriedly stopped her. “Mom, don’t go! Her status is different now. If you offend Ye Li, you’ll offend Big Brother and the Xiang family! How can our Xue family survive in Bin City then?”
The Liu family was considered a small wealthy family back then. Although Liu Yiqiu had been suppressing Ye Li before, when Ye Li became stronger than her, Liu Yiqiu became a little jealous. But once a person had become really powerful to a certain extent, others did not even have the right to be jealous.
The best solution now was to build a good relations.h.i.+p with them and mend the previous conflict. In the future, they could still eat meat.
Although they had quarreled in the past, she knew very well that with the old patriarch around, Xue Sheng would not really ignore them.
Moreover, there was no life and death feud between them. As long as they lowered their att.i.tude in the future, the other family would not be too calculative.
Old Lady Xue was furious. “Why? Am I supposed to be subservient to my daughter-in-law even though I’m her mother-in-law?!”
Liu Yiqiu was currently immersed in her own fear. A single finger from the Xiang family could crush their family.
Hence, she did not notice that something was amiss with Old Lady Xue. She nodded and said, “Yes, Mom. When you’re in front of others later, say more good things about Sister-in-law. Also, when Sister-in-law comes out, praise her more. Towards Big Brother, don’t keep a straight face. Smile more…”
Before she could finish speaking, the old lady exploded.
She was really furious. The older she got, the younger she felt deep inside. Now that her daughter-in-law, who had been oppressed by her all year round before, had turned the tables and was now suppressing her, she was especially upset that could not vent her anger.
Moreover, the old lady was not cultured. Back in their village, she’d relied on her voice to quarrel with others.
How could she endure it now?!
She shouted angrily, “Since ancient times, the wife has to listen to the mother-in-law! You’re even asking me to praise Ye Li. What should I praise her for? It’s all because of her. She keeps instigating my son to be at odds with me! My b.a.s.t.a.r.d son is also heartless. That thing that was born from my intestines actually dares to not listen to me now! If I had known earlier, I would have strangled him to death when he was born!”
Her voice was a little loud, making Liu Yiqiu hurriedly grab her arm. “Mom, don’t say that! Hurry up and take back your words! Now that Big Brother and Sister-in-law’s status are different, you…”
The old lady pulled her sleeve back and shouted angrily at Liu Yiqiu, “How are their status different? How is it different?! Isn’t it just because of that fool? If it weren’t for that fool, he wouldn’t be anything! The Xiang family likes that fool, not him!”
At this point, she suddenly thought of something. “Yes, the Xiang family has their eyes on that little fool. If there’s no little fool, my son and his wife would still have to live under me!”
As soon as she said this, she rushed to the door and pushed it open as though she had gone crazy.
At this moment, Xue Sheng was discussing men’s topics with Mr. Xiang, such as the national football team. Meanwhile, Lin Jing was discussing with Ye Li that her outfit today seemed a little too boring…
Amid the joyous atmosphere, the old lady rushed in.
The scene before her eyes made her feel even more dazzled.
Why did these two people become so popular?
They were not worthy!
At this thought, the old lady shouted, “Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, don’t be deceived by Xue Sheng and Ye Li! Xue Xi is not their daughter at all!”
