The old lady stared at Shu Nian for a long while, all kinds of thoughts popping up in her mind. Should she scold him or not
When I was 20 years younger, I would have been in a bad mood and would have scolded him first and then talked about it. But now that I am older, I am no longer that kind of person.
The old lady glanced at the old man next to her again, and saw that the old man had been sitting there with an air of arrogance, with a cold face, as if someone owed him 2.58 million. She glanced at Shu Nian, her eyes even sharper.
Originally, he didn't want to come today. What's so good about a married woman out there? Ye Yan is a scoundrel! Just give him a good beating when he gets home, throw him into the army, train him for a few years, and he'll be well behaved when he comes out. He'll forget all about women. Why bother to meet this girl out there? Anyway, she won't give him a good face when she meets him.
The old lady quietly nudged the old man, indicating that he should say something to break the awkward situation. The old man just snorted and moved an inch away from the old lady.
What that means is, this is the person you want to meet, and it's up to you whether to play the good cop or the bad cop, he doesn't care.
The old lady was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her nostrils. Wasn't this for her grandson to check
Mrs. Xiang noticed all these little actions, but she was not in a hurry to break the silence. Instead, she calmly took out an exquisite gift box from her bag and gently pushed it in front of the old lady, "Madam, this is a gift for you. See if you like it."
The old lady pointed at herself and said, "Is it for me?"
Madam Xiang smiled and nodded, "It's just a small gift, I hope you don't mind. We, the Xiang family, and your grandson, Mr. Bai Jinyan, have cooperated in many ways, and I hope you two can give us more advice."
When the old lady heard what Madam Xiang said, she glanced at the gift through her reading glasses and saw a jade bracelet in the brocade box.
"This quality is rare!" The old lady exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. Her family did have a good quality bracelet, which was a family heirloom. However, when her son got married, she gave the bracelet to her daughter-in-law Xingchen. She looked very pretty with her fair skin. The old lady was quite envious, but she couldn't ask for it back, right
She had been secretly looking for new products. Jade bracelets were easy to find, but it was difficult to find the best ones. She didn't expect to see one now.
"Of course, the gift I give you has to be of the best quality. If you like it, why not try it?" Mrs. Xiang is very good at observing people's expressions.
After hearing this, the old lady was eager to try. She stretched out her hand towards the brocade box. But before she touched it, she heard a cough beside her. The old man had a stern face and gave her a sidelong look. The old lady regained some reason and took her hand back awkwardly, no matter how much she liked it. Then, she coughed twice and straightened her back.
The old man closed the brocade box and pushed it back. "Thank you for your courtesy, Madam. I appreciate the gift."
"But you don't like it?" Mrs. Xiang looked at the old lady.
The old lady looked regretful and sad, and she was still staring at the brocade box. She was salivating over it! How could she not like it
The old man didn't care about that. There was no expression on his face. He just said in a stern manner: "As elders, we can't interfere in the cooperation between the younger generations."
At this point, the old man changed the subject and looked at Shu Nian on the side, saying sternly, "However, as elders, we can still take care of these emotional and work style matters."
The old lady was just immersed in the regret of not being able to get the jade bracelet, but when she heard the old man's words, she suddenly perked up.
Nodding, "That's right, young people are ignorant, and their lifestyle needs to be supervised by us elders. Otherwise, it would be too outrageous and too unreasonable!"
Naturally, the old man and the old lady's words also included their grandson.
Shu Nian had been sitting there quietly, having long thought that the criticism would be directed at her sooner or later. However, when the two old men spoke like this, she felt as if needles were stabbing her heart.
"You two are right. This style of work is unforgivable!" Madam Xiang glanced at Shu Nian, and then followed the two old men to take over the conversation, smiling, "I have seen Young Master Ye's demeanor with my own eyes. I'm afraid that many women out there are rushing to get close to him!"
The old lady snorted in her heart, "No matter how bad that bastard was before, he still had some sense and knew how to keep himself clean. But now..."
When the old lady said this, she looked at Shu Nian, then at Madam Xiang, and seemed to realize it later, and stopped talking. After all, Shu Nian is also the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family. It would be like slapping someone in the face to tell Madam Xiang about this matter. The original intention of today was to see what this woman named Shu Nian was like.
Shu Nian's hands on his knees tightened a little.
She remained silent, but continued to talk to the lady, "There are some people out there who don't know what's good for them. They don't even consider the conditions and dare to rush in. I'm worried about you two, right?"
The sarcasm in Madam Xiang's words was very clear.
The old lady looked at Shu Nian again. She kept her back straight and remained very quiet.
She thought about it, and finally continued: "There's nothing we can do about it. Our Ye Yan is a mess, not as well behaved as before. Madam Xiang, if there is anything that offends you, you should bear more responsibility. And Miss Shu, no, Madam Xiang..."
The old lady changed her tune.
Shu Nian raised her head and looked at the old lady. Even so, her tone was still neither humble nor arrogant. "You go ahead."
"Our boy Ye Yan is a mess on weekdays. Maybe his father controls him too much, which makes him rebellious. On weekdays, he always talks nonsense. You must not take his words seriously."
Shu Nian pulled the corner of his lips, "Don't worry, Ye Yan didn't say anything to me."
"Smart people know their limits and what is a joke. Anyone who takes a joke seriously is extremely stupid," Mrs. Xiang interrupted.
There were thorns everywhere in these words, which made even the old lady feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't know what to say. After all, Shu Nian didn't look very old. Moreover, he seemed to be quite calm. It was a pity...
"I heard that Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang have been married for two years. Do they have a child?" The old lady changed the subject. This was also what she was particularly concerned about. If they already had a family and children, and they were still involved, it would be irresponsible. No matter how young they were, they were not worthy of forgiveness. And that stinky boy Ye Yan was a mistress and destroyed someone's family. He should be severely beaten when he returned and apologize in front of the whole family. This matter was a matter of principle and could not be sloppy.
