“Don’t be angry, Grandpa. I’m really fine.”
Qiao Ruoxi was not affected by it. It had nothing to do with love, so she did not have to worry about it. She only hoped that the old man would not be angry anymore.
“Look at how sensible Little Xi is.”
Mr. Feng took a deep breath and said, “You have to treat Little Xi well in the future. If I find out that you bullied Little Xi again, I’ll break your leg.”
The old man raised his cane and made a whipping motion to scare him.
“Okay, Grandpa.”
Feng Yunan was very filial. He was afraid that he would hurt the old man’s health, so he usually listened to him.
In fact, no matter how old Feng Yunan was or how powerful he was, in the old man’s eyes, he would never grow up.
The old man was being strict with him because he loved him.
Just then, a woman’s voice came from upstairs. “That’s enough, Old Master. Yu Nan is already so old, why do you still want to hit him? At least give him some face in front of outsiders.”
Qiao Ruoxi looked towards the source of the voice and saw a noble and beautiful woman slowly walking down the stairs.
The woman looked like she had taken good care of herself. Her eyes were filled with charm.
She was wearing expensive fur and a ruby ring on her finger. She looked elegant and noble.
Qiao Ruoxi wondered who this woman was.
It sounded like she was very close to Mr. Feng and Feng Yunan, but she had not seen him at the wedding yesterday.
Qiao Ruoxi noticed that the woman was looking at her meaningfully. ‘And that “outsider,” was she talking about me?’
When the woman came over, Mr. Feng introduced her to Qiao Ruoxi. “Little Xi, she is Yunan’s mother. She will be your mother-in-law from now on.”
‘Huh?’
‘So she’s Feng Yunan’s mother?’
‘Since she’s his mother, why didn’t she attend her son’s wedding?’
‘How strange!’
Qiao Ruoxi stole a glance at Feng Yunan and realized that his face was really sullen. Who would look at their mother like this?
Gu Yunjin walked to the table and sat down. She smiled and said, “I’ve already prepared a red packet for the tea ceremony. Old Master, can I have someone serve tea now?”
“Okay.”
Mr. Feng had also prepared the red packets and asked the servants to serve tea.
The servants brought the tea over. Qiao Ruoxi thought of what Feng Yunan had said when he came and said that she had to put on a full show. So she generously offered tea to the two elders and took the red packet from their hands.
“Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you… Mom.”
Unexpectedly, Qiao Ruoxi’s “mother” made the man next to her unhappy. He flicked her wrist and scolded angrily, “You’re addressing her that way just because she gave you money. Are you that greedy for money?”
“…”
Qiao Ruoxi was depressed. ‘Was I wrong?’
‘Didn’t he say that he wants to put on a show?’
‘What did I do wrong?’
After Feng Yunan scolded her, he left.
Qiao Ruoxi stood where she was, holding two red packets in her hands as if she was holding two hot potatoes. She didn’t know what to do next.
Mr. Feng was aware of the conflict between the mother and son. He comforted Qiao Ruoxi, “Little Xi, it’s okay. That kid is being stupid again. Grandpa will teach him a lesson.”
The old man went after Feng Yunan with his cane.
Only Gu Yunjin and Qiao Ruoxi were left in the living room.
Gu Yunjin looked at Qiao Ruoxi with a critical gaze. A strong hatred filled his heart.
She had already gotten someone to investigate and learned that Qiao Ruoxi’s mother was Su Hui.
