Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the three of the Qiaos saw that no one of the Lus were arriving even at noon, they were even more certain that s.h.i.+ Guang had gotten herself married into the Lus using underhanded means, and that the Lus were looking down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
“Aiyah, seems like it’s really not easy to get married into a wealthy family, eh? Look at the time now, are they intending to come only after lunch?” Mother Qiao started with her snark remarks again.
s.h.i.+ Guang had been bearing with them for a long time now.
At this point, she was in the midst of worrying about whether something could have happened to Lu Yanchen’s side when those casual remarks were thrown out. Naturally, she wouldn’t just sit by idly.
“Auntie Qiao, if you’re in a rush, PLEASE head back first.”
If she weren’t an elder, s.h.i.+ Guang would have definitely barked out at her for her to get lost right away!
Mother Qiao scoffed out coldly, “Oh, s.h.i.+ Guang? Is that how you should be talking? Am I not doing this for your own good? Why don’t you take a look at the time now? Say, could you have used some wrong methods or perhaps lied to get yourself into this wealthy family? Perhaps they’ve discovered it and therefore couldn’t be bothered to come even discuss the wedding? My, my. If that really were the case, this would be so much of a disgrace!”
Grandma slammed the cup she was holding heavily onto the coffee table. “Is it disgraceful to YOU? Now, if you think that this affects you, YOUNG LADY, you can choose to get lost far away. I, AN ELDER, will choose to still stay around whether things are good or bad!”
Grandma Su smiled out, “In-law, this daughter of mine isn’t good with words. But don’t blame her, she’s just being straightforward and speaks her mind.”
“Isn’t that right? Just your family’s s.h.i.+ Guang and she wishes to get married to the Lus? Look at OUR Yuwei! Those that court her are all driving Mercedes and BMWs, but, has any of them said that they wanted to marry her? Do you know why that is? It isn’t because our Yuwei isn’t good, it’s because she’s righteous and does not choose to go about using any underhanded shortcuts! Don’t you guys know that the wealthy all look for a common status in the matching family before they can get married? s.h.i.+ Guang is just a swimmer. What does she have? On what grounds is she fitting for the Lus?”
As Mother Qiao said that, she put her palms out. “See! Look at how things are right now! They’re not even willing to come over for a wedding discussion! Her actions are going to cause her to get divorced right after they get married!”
Looking at how grandma’s expression was turning really terrible and afraid that grandma’s body might not be able to take the agitation, s.h.i.+ Guang could not be bothered with anything anymore as she shot out at Mother Qiao directly, “Yes, yes, I’ve got a wretched life and I won’t be able to get married into a wealthy family. You get out right now!”
Mother Qiao was worked up right away. “You really don’t have any upbringing at all! Is that how you should talk to an elder?”
She even reached out and pushed at s.h.i.+ Guang.
s.h.i.+ Guang was standing beside grandma, and thus, that single push had her knocking into grandma as well.
Grandma’s body wobbled, nearly falling back behind.
Alarmed, s.h.i.+ Guang hurriedly helped grandma up. “Grandma, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Mo Jin and little auntie crowded around and looked at grandma worriedly as well.
Little auntie looked over at Auntie Qiao. “Sister-in-law, please don’t say anything more. Alright, our family has something on, and we won’t be welcoming you guys today now.”
“What’s wrong with me saying something? This wretched la.s.s has been leeching on our Qiao family since she was in junior high, living and feeding on the Qiaos. And I can’t even say anything now that she’s getting married?” Mother Qiao’s voice went shrill.
“You were married out when you were younger. What has it got to do with you whether or not she lives and feeds on the Qiaos? If you want others to respect you as an elder, you’ve got to have the dignity of an elder as well to begin with!” Mo Jin reb.u.t.ted angrily.
“Does it have anything to do with me then?” Grandma Su spoke out coldly.
“Grandma!”
“Don’t call me grandma! Look how your mum has spoilt you such that you don’t even have any manners left anymore!”
