But Mrs. Hong did not.
Back then, she was able to pull Hong Ping away in anger right in front of all the Ruan Family at the dining table and sarcastically said towards Ruan Jiaojiao’s direction: "Let’s forget it. Just staying a couple of days is already an eyesore for some people. If we stay longer, won’t it be even more bothersome? We’ll leave tomorrow. I just had their father buy return tickets. Leaving early won’t bother certain people here."
The meaning behind Mrs. Hong’s words was too obvious. No one present was foolish, and everyone naturally understood.
The expressions on the Ruan Family’s faces looked quite unpleasant.
Especially Ruan Jianguo. His face, which was originally dark, became even harder to look at.
Ruan Jiandang frowned, glancing at Hong’s father, who had no status at home and helplessly went to pull Mrs. Hong.
But if Mrs. Hong would listen to him, she wouldn’t be making a scene here.
She shook off his hand in annoyance and angrily said: "You’re such a pushover. Your eldest daughter got bullied and you said nothing. Now, your youngest daughter is bullied, and you still stay silent. Are you even a man!"
"Mom!" Hong Ping came over with a cold face to pull her.
"What does my in-law mean by this?" Liu Qingyun asked.
"What do I mean? You should ask Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, what do you say?" Mrs. Hong directly called out to Ruan Jiaojiao standing over there.
Because the elders hadn’t sat down yet, Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t taken a seat either. Only Ruanlin was sitting, and the rest were standing.
Hearing this, she innocently looked at Mrs. Hong, blinking her eyes, and asked: "I don’t know what Auntie is talking about. Instead, Auntie is questioning me right from the start, and I’m feeling wronged. Did I somehow offend Auntie? I would like to know what Auntie means too."
Mrs. Hong didn’t expect Ruan Jiaojiao to have such a sharp tongue in front of everyone. Not only did she not show any apology, but she also dared to confront her. Her initial level of anger instantly surged from five to ten.
What made her even angrier was that no one from the Ruan Family spoke up to reproach Ruan Jiaojiao for her attitude toward her! How could they forget she was an elder?
Her anger intensified, and she directly pointed at Ruan Jiaojiao and scolded: "You’re already such a grown girl, how can you speak so without manners? This is your attitude towards your elders..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Before she could finish, a "crash" interrupted as the sound of a teacup smashing on the ground echoed throughout the private room.
The teacup, filled with iced tea for summer, was now shattered on the ground, with both the cup broken into pieces and the tea spilled everywhere. It was a sight that startled everyone.
As everyone followed the shattered teacup up, they saw Ruanlin still sitting, but her raised eyes, looking at Mrs. Hong, caused everyone’s heart to tremble, especially Mrs. Hong.
"My granddaughter has been raised by me personally since she was little. And now you’re telling me, she has no manners? Hmm?" That last "hmm" had a slightly upward tone.
The marriage that Ruan Jun arranged, Ruanlin did not express any opinion because she was living on the Beidu side. After returning to Yuansu with Ruan Jiaojiao and the others, she didn’t interfere either. Even when Mrs. Hong embarrassed the Ruan Family at the dining table last time, she said nothing. After all, this was a matter for the younger generation. It was the wife Ruan Jun himself wanted to marry, with both Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun present, so there was no reason for her, as the grandmother, to intervene.
