51 051 What An Embara.s.sment
Everyone turned around and saw that Tan Rou with Xiao Mo was pus.h.i.+ng Zhuang Liu across the small bridge as they slowly walked toward the courtyard.
The middle-aged man clapped his hands happily. “Young friend, you’re finally here! I told my old fellows that you were coming over, but they didn’t believe me. They insisted you didn’t like my place and clear soup!”
Zhuang Liu greeted him with a smile. “That’s not true. This place is unique and elegant. It’s a rare mystical realm, not to mention the priceless ornaments in your house. I’ve long admired your collection. Today, I can finally broaden my horizons.”
The surrounding people also chimed in happily. “That’s right. This place is really a paradise. You wouldn’t want to leave this place after coming here once!”
Xiao Mo pushed Zhuang Liu to the door, and Zhuang Liu motioned for him to stop. Then, he looked at Chen Yi coldly, “Looks like I came at the right time. I just happened to hear what Mrs. Tan said, so I had to interrupt her. Our families have already broken off the engagement. Back then, we had already agreed that we would never speak of each other ever again. Why did Mrs. Tan bring up this matter again just now? It’s better that everyone else wouldn’t misunderstand us.”
Tan Jing almost tore her palms to shreds. She started to blame Chen Yi in her heart. She had already said that she didn’t want to be here. It would have been fine if they were not allowed to enter, but why did Chen Yi bring up the marriage with the Zhuang family? Now, she had to meet the main character. It wasn’t enjoyable!
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Jing again, and he laughed. “Miss Tan, what a coincidence. We will meet again here. Perhaps, Miss Tan still has some objections to what we just said? I’ve already made myself very clear. I will not allow Madam Tan to continue calling herself the Zhuang family’s in-laws.”
When Tan Jing heard Zhuang Liu mention the incident at the hotel, she felt even more embarra.s.sed. She had just said that she looked down on the Zhuang family, but now Chen Yi acted as if they were still related. It was really embarra.s.sing.
Chen Yi was so embarra.s.sed that she could not say anything. After all, the two families had already fallen out when they met the last time. The ugly words had already been said, and they could never take it back.
When everyone heard Zhuang Liu’s words, everyone immediately understood what was happening. It was likely that the two families had already made things clear, and they had even gotten into a very unpleasant quarrel. However, Chen Yi was still trying to put on a show.
The middle-aged woman from before was still a little guilty after hearing Chen Yi’s words. She was afraid that she might have been too impulsive and may have offended the Zhuang family. Now that Zhuang Liu had clarified his stance, what was there to be afraid of? She had long since disliked Chen Yi’s nouveau riche style. Chen Yi, who liked comparing herself to others, was an idiot.
The woman smiled and said, “Chen Yi, this is your fault. We can just talk things out, but you brought out the Zhuang family to scare us without blinking. Now that the Zhuang family is asking for an explanation, that wouldn’t be nice for you as well!”
Chen Yi’s face turned red. She wanted to rush forward and tear the woman’s mouth apart.
The boss quickly stepped out to smooth things over. “That’s enough! You’ve come to my place to relax. There’s no need to make things unpleasant. Since that’s the case, all of you are allowed inside. Come, Xiao Zhuang, come to my room. Eh, I’ve seen Xiao Mo before. You even brought a little girl with you today?”
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Tan Rou. Tan Rou stood beside Zhuang Liu and greeted everyone with a smile.
Tan Jing’s eyes turned red. Tan Rou was really clinging onto Zhuang Liu?!
Chen Yi’s mind was in a daze just now. She only noticed now that Tan Rou was following behind Zhuang Liu. Then, thinking of what Tan Jing had said, she directed her anger at Tan Rou. “You sl*t! Don’t you feel shameful?! We had just ended the engagement with the Zhuang family, and you were already sticking close to them. Are you in such a hurry to suck up to them? Are you feeling happy after hearing what he said about me? Don’t you know your manners? I’m your mother, after all!”
Tan Rou shot a cold glance at Chen Yi, unwilling to pay attention to her.
Chen Yi had embarra.s.sed herself in front of others, so how could she tolerate Tan Rou’s att.i.tude now? She walked straight towards Tan Rou and raised her hand to slap Tan Rou’s face. “I don’t think you know what you have done wrong. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your own mother!”
Tan Rou stretched out her hand to stop her. She flung Chen Yi’s hand away. “I’m not like you. After breaking off the engagement, you still have the audacity to say that you’re the in-laws of the Zhuang family; even I feel embarra.s.sed for you. Ever since I was young, you’ve never bothered with me for a single day. You have even less right to be teaching me right now!”
